I'll second this, and apologize since it's at least partially my fault.

If you save her and aren't betrothed to anyone you can get a new "scandelous" option in the ending, which is kinda cute

On topic, toys this week, and attending court the next should help keep us level and still willful, so I support that.

Part 20: Week 15: Mood: Willfull
or
Finally, an Escape from Spoiler Boxes!...There's one right beneath me, isn't there?

Spoiler

Ok, maybe *this* way we can stop discussion spoilers! This is getting silly!
...I wonder if we need to make a Long Live the Queen discussion thread?



Anyway, continuing plan Magic!

All magic starts with little balls of light. Wonder why that is?

And now the hurting things starts.

And now we at last get our official magical girl uniform! Took us long enough.
I'll wear it next week, and from then on forth, we vote.


Oh, yeah...He did sort of tell us about this in advance.
"If you have any concerns about your saftey, please, stay here. People will recover from dissapointment; if we lose you, there is no recovery."

Welp, folks. Your call.

[Tavar]

Stay back: we're obviously still grieving, as well as honing our blasting skills to the point where we can just atomize our attackers.

[Mobius Twist]

We're a number-crunching nerd as far as people know. That, or a young girl who is still grieving for mommy.

In either case, our public persona is not of a strictly reliable or competent person. A billionaire playboy, for instance?

I say stay home. People will recover from disappointment.

I am very curious to see what the other choices lead to - I get the feeling this is where the game really takes off.

[Forum Explorer]

Our secret identity requires us to be a social animal! We must lead the parade! However lets pass on the speeches, those never seem to turn out well.

[Mewtarthio]

I'm well aware that giving a speech would be a terrible idea. We currently have all the social skills of Sheldon Cooper on a bad day, and it would be difficult to make the assassins' jobs easier if we tried our hardest to die.

However...

This topic is "Let's Play LLtQ," not "Let's Win LLtQ." Thus, while this may be the single most stunningly bad decision we have had the opportunity to make so far, that just makes me want to see what happens more.

I vote for speeches!

[Starbuck_II]

We aren't speakers, we should lead parade.

[Sanguine]

I'm with Mewthario: Let's make a speech!

[Aidan305]

Speech! Speech!

This can't possibly go badly

[CarpeGuitarrem]

Hmmmmmmmm. I cast a vote for lead the parade, I don't quite feel like we need to give a speech yet.

[Loki_42]

I'm going to vote for lead the parade, but no speech.

[smuchmuch]

Let's proudly lead the parade and make a speech like a true queen !

(Then when we have reloaded for being shot from a nearby grassy knoll we can play it safe (and avoid the humiliation that's going to ensue from trying tomake a speech with zero social skills))

[SlyGuyMcFly]

Lead the Parade. It's one thing to invite snipers to take potshots, but needlessly angering the populace? So not cool.

[Pie Guy]

Make a speech like you're turning 43!

Oh, my god, I have to do that. It just takes saving her and not being betrothed? Or are there other requirements too?

I think you need okay relationship with her family. Siding with them in the early border dispute & avoiding the civil war and getting by with the Lord in the ball.

[TengYt]

Speech! Speech!

[TheEmerged]

Lead the parade, but no speech

[Lord Magtok]

Parade, no speech.

[Hawkflight]

Lead the parade and make a speech!

[Deme]

We appear to have a tie! First vote to appear when I get back from trying to get past chapter 15 in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance important business wins between Just Leading Parade and Making a Speech.

[Tavar]

Just lead the parade, if I can change my vote.

[Forum Explorer]

Lead the Parade!

Chapter 21: Week 16: Mood: Willful
or
Sowing What We'll Reap

Spoiler

...That's adorable!
I really just love moments when Elodie feels like a kid, you know? There's another one coming up in a few weeks I'll point out as being great.

That's also cute. Also, there's apparently a fast-foward function I discovered by randomly pressing keys. That's a thing.
Lucky for you guys, I just re-loaded my save and made the choice again so we can actually get screenshots.


But...But we might need a sword.
Also, by "best gown" we clearly mean "Adorable tux with the black ribbons" or "Awesome magical girl outfit."


Well, we might have. Lucky for us, the people we've pissed off haven't been the ones who would be sending assassins here if we had.
In other words, success! Boring, boring success...For now.

Then the new life is blessed, and all the attendants join in song.
Luckily, they don't ask us to sing. They saw our parading.

The Procession regroups to return to the castle.
Well, we made it through the day without incident...But we weren't the best parade-leaders ever.


We've made it to another weekend!


And boy-howdy are we ever willful. Anyway, we'll need to decide what to do this weekend to help position us for whatever you guys want to do week after this coming one (where we're doubling up on sense magic).

Visit Treasury: +1 Willful

Attend Court: +2 Yielding, +1 Depressed, +1 Pressured

Attend Service*: -1 Cheerful

Explore Castle: +1 Lonely, +1 Afraid

Play with Toys: +1 Yielding, +1 Lonely, +1 Cheeful.

Visit Dungeons* +1 Willful, +1 Angry

Visit Tomb: +1 Depressed, +1 Afraid

Walk in the Gardens: +1 Lonely, +1 Cheerful.

Sneak Out: +1 Lonely, +2 Willfull

Play Sports*: +1 angry

[Tavar]

Attend Court: less willful while also taking out our good Cheer. We want to be a bit Depressed, because after magic we're hitting animal handling(Falcons) and Intrigue(Internal Affairs) again, which are boosted by depression, so we need to get sad, and fast.

[Forum Explorer]

Attend Court for sure. We've got to get back to baseline.

[Mobius Twist]

Attend service, then keep power-leveling magics as planned.

Intrigue is actually boosted by Willful and not Depressed. Attending Court should be fine though.

[Kizor]

Attend Court.

I was worried that we might overdo the sparkly shiny stuff and doom ourselves by becoming a magical justice princess in a world that would get more use out of a spymaster or a fencer.

But people seemed to have that well in hand, so I started to be worried that we might pull out too early and doom ourselves by having neither the power output to make a difference, nor the power output to make up for it.

Now I'm starting to think that we're doomed anyway, so there's no sense in worrying.
