As noted philosopher Ji Rong would say, Bureaucracy is just how the Boss communicates orders. So if you have a Boss (Dreaming moon) and receive instructions from them (show up at the moon party) then you know bureaucracy.
Turn 3: Training 1
Seven days and seven nights.
That was the length of time that Ling Qi spent atop the outer sect mountain, cultivating with Zeqing. She rested in the muses home, played with her daughter, and drank only the sweet chilled wine. All the while she immersed herself in Darkness and Music. She might have resolved to pay the other parts of her nature more mind, but right now, with the medicines she had, it was time to master the element at the core of her combat ability.
Cultivating on a mountaintop above the clouds, the lunar qi she drank in each night was clearer and purer than ever, and soon she felt another layer settle into place around her dantian, another phase complete. It was not wholly complete yet, she would need to seek out an understanding with her lunar patrons to finish things, but it was enough for now. In playing with Hanyi, she improved her body, and in practicing with Zeqing, she came to master her songs.
On the eighth morning, Ling Qi opened her eyes and looked out over the flat mountaintop. She was seated beneath the odd fruit tree that stood in Zeqing's yard, and she was surrounded by flowers of ice.
"Big Sister is such a show off," her gaze was drawn to her right as Hanyi spoke. The spirit had changed since that day last year, when she had met the little brat in the middle of a blizzard. It had begun recently, and only accelerated with each passing day, but Hanyi was older in appearance now.
She had the same corpse-like pallor, and wore the same threadbare childs dress, but she resembled a young girl of ten or eleven now. Her dark hair was still worn in a child's pig-tails, but it was longer now as well. Yet that stance, with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out in frustration, was still purely Hanyi.
"Is it really showing off if I can still do more?" Ling Qi teased back with a smile, gesturing to the field of flowers. "I'm only meditating after all."
The 'younger' girl glowered at her. "Big Sister is getting to cocky."
"And you've been slacking," Ling Qi replied pointedly. "Just like someone else."
"Oh don't you start, how I am supposed to cultivate in a place like this," Sixiang grumbled. "What kind of atmosphere is this for a poet?"
"Our house is great and pretty!" Hanyi retorted. "Your just a dummy!"
Ling Qi sighed. Sixiang and Hanyi kind of got on like a house on fire. Not the least because Hanyi really didn't like being teased and Sixiang was… Sixiang.
The wind was stirring as Sixiang formed a retort, but it suddenly fell still and silent as a cold shadow fell over them. Ling Qi looked up to find her teacher looking down at her with blank white eyes. "No squabbling in the yard children," The elder spirit replied tonelessly. "You are finished Ling Qi?"
Ling Qi smoothly stood as hanyi scuffed her foot in the snow, and bowed low to her teacher. "I have mastered both arts teacher," she replied. "Thank you very much for your instruction."
Ling Qi felt the brush of translucent fingers of ice against her cheek, and a faint cold pressure on her meridians. "You have, haven't you?" Zeqing said, a touch of fondness and something else hard to identify in her voice. "What a gifted student."
Ling Qi felt herself flush with pride even as she glanced over to see Hanyi looking down, her bangs shadowing her eyes. "Teacher is too kind. I am not the only one who has been working hard though."
"...Indeed not," Zeqing replied, an uneasy edge to her voice. Ling Qi knew without looking that Zeqing was not looking at Hanyi, she had noticed over the last week that the spirit had seemed to almost be avoiding her daughter, it worried her. "You as well, Hanyi," she said nonetheless.
Even that much brightened the younger spirit up, and for a moment, it looked as if she was going to rush forward to hug her Mother, but Ling Qi saw her look up and hesitate. "...Can I consider this months lessons complete, teacher?" Ling Qi said, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Yes," Zeqing replied after a moment, and with the appropriate time lapsed, Ling Qi raised her head to meet the spirits eyes. "Your lessons are in fact wholly complete, for the moment."
Ling Qi almost frowned, but restrained herself. "What do you mean?"
Zeqing met her gaze steadily and her face was without expression. "I have taught you all that I can as you are, to go further… there would be tribulation. You asked that I warn you, did you not?"
Ling Qi's eyes widened, but she nodded hastily. Zeqing did not need to spell it out. A tribulation from the icy spirit would be a deadly thing.
"Hmph, Big Sister can do it," Hanyi huffed, not quite looking at her.
Ling Qi gave the younger spirit a sidelong look. "Would I need to make any preparations, teacher?"
"You are as prepared as you can be. It is only your choice that remains," Zeqing replied simply. "But… not this day. I tire, and you should spend time with your kin."
Ling Qi nodded, not willing to gainsay her. "Thank you again," she said instead.
Zeqing let out a small hmm in reply, but instead of responding directly, the spirit asked. "Might I ask if you found any insights in your time here Ling Qi?"
Ling Qi blinked at the sudden change of subject, but quickly answered…
[][FVM] Though a path might be hard and lonely, it has worth if you can present something of beauty to those you care for at the end.
[][FVM] Even if hardship and tribulation litter your path, it has worth if you have somewhere to return at the end.
[][FVM] Though it is beautiful, the travelers song is not Ling Qi's(No slot)
[][FSS] The end comes for all things, without exception. In accepting this, you are freed.
[][FSS] There are endings and Endings, only the very last one is final. Just as winter ends in spring, small endings are new beginnings.
[][FSS] All things End, but one does not need to think of endings to live(No slot)
Splitting this up a bit due to sheer quantity, even if it is short. Hopefully the low turnover makes up for it a bit.

Passive Effects
+5 bonus to all music based expression
+15 bonus Resist on water and darkness techniques
+10 bonus Armor against sound and music based techniques
E rank Qi expenditure may prevent interruption of s melody-permanent
Mist of the Vale: C
Duration: Persistent/Short
Playing the first notes of the melancholy melody, the musician causes a dark mist to roll forth from their instrument. The mist is filled with deceptive shadows and sounds, casting darkness over all within. The mist spreads to cover the range Close to the musician and may be extended out to Very Far, at the cost increasing the cost to the technique by 10 for each increment. The user may extend immunity too and benefits from the mist to up to ten allies, increasing cost by 2 for each one.
Within the mist, foes find their senses confused, attacks against the musician or their allies often strike at phantoms, and seeking to escape the mist or advance upon the musician often result in meandering travelers reminiscent of the composers own wandering. In their confused state, they become vulnerable to the terrors which can reside in Vales far from civilization.
Dissonance of Night's Terror: C
Duration: Special
Damage: E
May only be used within Mist of the Vale. The melody grows low and eerie, punctuated by high, sharp notes, while the mists darken with indistinct and predatory shapes. Claws and fangs of mist and shadow tear at the musician's foes, rending armor and leaving wounds that bleed freely to feed the hunger of the mist. This technique counts as one combatant on the musicians side for multiattack bonuses.
Starlight Elegy: C
Duration: Persistent
The mournful and despairing tune saps the energy of those not insulated from the mist, making their limbs heavy and their thoughts clouded with exhaustion and longing for home. The cloying mist drags at their limbs like the weight of a life spent alone and drains away their qi rapidly, making it difficult to move, let alone attack. --Despair of the Lost
Alternatively, the power of the Elegy may be focused on a single target, drowning them in the endless mist, leaving them to wander as if alone and far from from home. So long as they remain lost, their allies aid cannot reach them, and they will wander alone in their perception, aware only of the haunting notes of the melody and its musician.
Travelers End: B
Duration: Scene
Damage: B
In a distant, misty valley, far from the works of mankind, a traveler completed a melody and offered it to the moon, the final notes echoing long after his last breath. This melody is but a shadow of that… but even shadows hold power. Only usable if all other Forgotten Vale Melody techniques are active.
The mist grows darker and more cloying still, blotting out almost all external light, and draining the warmth from those trapped within. The mist grows potent with dark qi, fogging the senses still further to bring them the lonely despair of the travelers final days. While active all other Forgotten Vale techniques are considered one rank higher, and attempts to dispel them must first dispel Travelers End.
The user may choose to end the melody at any time after Travelers End has been used. If they do so, the song reaches its finale, and all other techniques of the Forgotten Vale are ended as well. All who were still lost within the mist suffer an immediate spiritual attack of great magnitude, an echo of the travelers death in that far away vale. Those damaged by this attack may be paralyzed utterly by the assault, if their composure is too weak.

Springs End Aria: D
Duration: Long
The first notes of the users song herald the end of warmth, draining the heat from the area and around them and crystalizing the moisture in the air into snow and ice. Enemies Close to the user find their qi growing sluggish, sapping their spiritual defenses and bolstering the singers own. Qi expended in failed assault of the singer drains away, flowing into the singularity of cold created by the singers voice. Those whose dantians have been fully drained find their flesh frosting over and their blood running cold as they are lulled into the final sleep.
Hoarfrost Refrain: C
Duration: Immediate
Damage: C
The user's song rises into the howl of of a blizzard in the depths of winter as they focus the expression of their will upon a single enemy. Mastery of the art shows that the second and third techniques of the Serenade are one whole. The song tears and freezes the flesh of the singers enemy, and spreads through their blood and meridians, carrying the chill deeper still, like a frigid poison seeking the heart of its victims warmth. The chill clings long after the technique ends, the insidious cold crawling ever closer to the victim's heart until at last it stills or the technique is dispelled.
The mere echoes of the Refrain lash all foes within Close range, though the damage is reduced by one rank, draining away qi and slowing flesh and spirit alike, though the echoes lack the persistent damage of the which the main target suffers.
Echoes of Absolute Winter: B
Duration: Special
Damage: F
A technique used in tandem with Aria of Springs End, if activated at the same time, the Aria carries an echo of true winter, stilling the very air around the singer with its freezing chill until blood grows sluggish and flesh cracks. Attacks targeting the user, or which have an area of effect overlapping with Aria's have their penetration reduced by one rank as the cold devours the energy of the technique or attack. Similarly, Cold or Dark techniques used by the singer against those in range of Aria have their Hit or Penetration enhanced by one rank, as chosen by the user.
Call to Ending: B
Duration: Immediate
Damage: B(Special)
The final verse of the Serenade is a quiet, sad thing, lacking the furor of earlier verses. Upon Singing it, a single target which suffers from Hoarfrost Refrains cold feels a terrible pain as the chill infecting them grows to a terrible potency, and every last shred of heat flees their body. This effect ignores armor, and the damage dealt changes based on the distance between the singer and the target. At Close distance it deals the baseline damage, with each range increment out to very Far reducing it, and each increment closer increasing it. However, should the singer lay hands upon the target when activating the technique, damage is increased by a full letter rank.

Huh, Hanyi is growing. That is nice.
Like those insights. FSS one actually fits LQ´s mindset back in the music dual very well. Do not fear endings, live life fully knowing that they will happen but live more brightly because it.

Personally really liking the second of each of the insights.
The FSS one especially seems to fit with the aspects of growth and rebirth embodied by Zhengui.

Remember, 2 hours before the voting begins! This is just the time for preliminary discussions and what not.
[][FSS] The end comes for all things, without exception. In accepting this, you are freed.
I feel like this needs some expanding. Seems to me this is basically LQ's lesson from the bard off though. Things end, so what? Burn brighter because of it.
Does sounds a bit ominous when worded this way though.

How many insights do we need to get by the bottle neck?
These are fairly nice insights, but there might be better ones later.
Edit: Also how many arts are finishing up before the bottleneck?

I like reference to circle of seasons, we definitely can play with this theme to change the nature of our domain (for those who wants it).
1) On our path we meet many hardships, but in the end we have created/find something of beauty for our precious persons so it was worth it.
2) And even this ending was just a beginning of something new.

Zeqing's struggling and Hanyi's growing, things're coming too a head
But I guess ends are just new beginnings and hardship can be worth it if they work towards our home. This'll show the people who think LQ's too moody!

So, hmm. This fits the perseverance parts of FVM so that is probably what LQ took the most out of FVM. Fits due to FVM being one of the cornerstones to LQ rising above the group.
First one comes back again to what LQ sung about during the dual, life is hard so live it and have leave something behind that makes the world more beautiful.
Second one seems more towards LQ wish to have a place of her own. Endure because you can always return home.
Well LQ already said as much, All Things End. So why spend all your days fearing it? LQ wants to live and not fear, because that was her life before the sect and how some of her interactions have been during the sect.
She seems to be taking the Ending lesson and changing it a bit in the second option, less Zeqing that one for sure. Not so sure what she really takes from that one though.

That she has somewhere to return to and a reason to strive besides just survival seems important to her.
Things end, things change but just because something ended doesn't make it gone until the End.
