Oh god is our clan's uniform gonna be goth.

It's absolutely going to be a thing isn't it?
The Clan Head is the gloomy girl Ling Qi, and she's the one the rest are going to be looking to for tradition.
We're Goth House now.
Ling Qi: Artsy Goth
Yu Nuan: Punk Goth
Ling Biyu: Bubblegum Goth
Ling Qingge: Mom Goth
It's got to be lacy goth, not emo goth. Although with Yu Nuan and her piercings it could go either way.

We're gonna be the Addams family but Xianxia aren't we
[] Where the two of you are going (+1 to Persistence XP)
XP wise we will get freedom to 2 later. Persistence is more trouble. Narratively, I think that the future is more interesting. That they will bond more.

You forgot Hanyi, I have no idea where she fits in Goth Taxonomy, but I'm absolutely sure she fits in there somewhere.

I do find it kind of funny Qingge is asking this, her experience with cultivators is so wild.
Cautionary tale monster daughter, necromancer Suyin, angy snek girl, rough fox girl, even Xuan Shi has strange features and talking patterns underneath heavy clothing.
Yu Naun is pretty tame considering all that. Maybe this is just the first chance she's had to ask without it being wildly inappropriate or awkward and she's just jumping on it, or because this one is a more obviously personal aesthetic choice? I wouldn't blame her for being worried if Biyu is gonna come home with flaming hair and glowing eyes at some point or another, if Sun spirits stick their nose in things it could even happen.

[ X] Where the two of you are going (+1 to Persistence XP)
While knowing the past of someone is important, we are trying to build a long-term relationship with her. We also ourselves have let go of our ties to a biological family that severed ties with our mother. Finding out the future seems to be more in character and useful to build a relationship.

There is a two hour wait for voting.
I purposely didn't do the spirits as they kinda do their own thing but Hanyi would be like Dead Goth

I kinda wanna see Yu Nuan's backstory in more detail and how it connects to Qi's. Maybe they can bond over their shitty commoner backgrounds together! Plus I'd like some more freedom and this will level it up iirc!

Well, the Addams are noted as being unusually loving and supportive for a fictional family. So I say that's a pretty good outcome.

She's likely to go for the classical look. I'd say something like Victorian gothic if that weren't obviously incorrect for the setting. So the ancient Chinese equivalent of it.
That does make me wonder if as she gains power and "age" if she'll shed the dead little girl look and maybe turn into another snow lady or if she'll just be an adult dead lady in fancy clothes

If we can get Ling Qi a marriage half as happy and healthy as Gomez & Morticia doesn't that mean we've won the quest? After that herculean feat mere ascension or overthrowing the duchess would be child's play.Well, the Addams are noted as being unusually loving and supportive for a fictional family.

This would give us the next upgrade to the Freedom text. I'd be interested in that and numbers go up is always a good feeling.
Narratively I think this makes a LOT more sense for them to talk about. They've both spoken of the past before, but now that we're moving forward with the adoption future planning becomes more important.
I'm happy with either though.

I'm leaning heavily towards this option.
In regard to Concepts, we have already explored extensively Ling Qi's view on Freedom. What it means to her, how she yearns for it, but also rejects an absolute lack of connections. How Ling Qi concluded that she wants to freely choose her bindings.
But we haven't really thought about how we view Persistence, despite how important it has been in Ling Qi's life. At least not explicitly. And that is reflected in our Cultivation Plans. We have several ways to raise Freedom. The Grinning Moon is our first Moon Patron! But we can only raise Persistence through UGM. So I think this is a good chance to do so.
In regard to discussion topics, I'm more interested in reading about our future plans. We already have a good understanding of Yu Nuan's backstory. Even if it's a bit shallow, we still can see the general picture.
Ling Qi's origins has been a major focus point through all the quest. But it's only recently that she has begun to seriously think beyond mere survival and continously proving her worth.
I want to see what is it that Ling Qi wants from and for her fief in the future. And how Yu Nuan fits in that vision.

That makes an awful lot of sense actually.
