I don't want a pony either this time;

Hire her! This shall surely end well. Also, train Naval Strategy x 2 while we're waiting to gain the skill modifiers to Weapons that becoming Angry will give us.

Iiii... think we should Reject her; and train Archery and Wield Magic. That way we can shoot light arrows to defeat a pig demon and steal his triangles instead of hiring a punk elf to do it for us.

Trade 10 is probably something like "You learn that merchants make a living by buying goods at a lower price and selling them at a higher price".

No way we're taking this hack on. Meanwhile, while we're willful, let's just study magic since no one seems to be interested in becoming a magical accountant.

For some reason I can imagine Elodie throwing a bow at an abacus in frustration because she doesn't understand either.

Aren't we at a penalty to Economics when she's willful though? I was thinking about voting for trade, but I decided not to because of the perceived impediment. That and I want to support a princess who doesn't need a video game hero when dragons and evil pig wizards show up.

Yes, which is another good reason not to study it right now. There doesn't actually seem to be a mood that gives a bonus to economics, so the best we can do is avoid the problematic moods. But not much we can do about that now.

Yeah, Willful is actually a -2 malus to Economics (all 3 of its maluses are -2, unlike, say, Angry which has 4 -1 maluses). On the other hand it is the only mood we've seen so far with a bonus to Lumen or Intrigue. We're working towards Angry, which will have a bonus to Weapons (the only mood we've seen so far that does) and no malus to Economics, so people voting for those things might want to wait until we're Angry and instead vote for something that'll take advantage of Willful.

It's an extremely formal letter for such a little boy, thanking you for your wisdom in allowing him to live with his grandfather (who probably dictated every word he wrote).

I know you guys want weapon skills, but remember that the protagonist is a medieval princess. It's way more likely she dies to poison or getting sieged out because she pissed off everyone than that she gets into a duel or something. I say strategy x2.

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
If someone rushed at us with a dagger I would think being able to block it is important. Being able to fight doesn't just cover duels, although admittedly it's not going to win us any wars.

That said, Wield Magic x2. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

Sounds like more of a "Partial Success" thing. The game's cruel but I doubt it'd punish a "Success"ful check in such a direct way.

Also hoping on the Polearm x 2 bandwagon, and just to annoy certain people, a vote to wear the Magical Girl outfit.
