Well, that was close. Internal Affairs was .1 point away from winning the AM vote. Since falcons and dogs are tied, I'm going to be using RNG to determine which one wins.

For determining the tie, I assigned integers to dogs and falcons (1 and 2 respectively) and used Random.com. I'll do something like this for each tie in the future.







Ha! That should stop you curs! (pun totally intended)





It's certainly not empty, though. It seems like we get more servants every day.



Let's visit Dad. Maybe he knows where the crystal is.



Dad, what happened to Mom's Lumen crystal?

It's in a safe place.

Can I have it?

No.

But it's mine!



Meddling with magic killed your mother. I don't want that to happen to you. Once you're crowned Queen, I can't stop you from doing anything you want, but for now you are still a child.





Elodie's main emotion is now willful. Let's see how this will effect her skill gains.



Same deal as always. Vote for Elodie's classes.

I'm down with this, mostly because I never understood the goony obsession with animals when there's (inter)national spy drama to be had.

E: I assume Ferrosol meant foreign intelligence(since that has a bonus, as opposed to Foreign Affair's penalty), so I corrected my vote.

Seeing as how you start with zero skills, I can only conclude that the boarding school Elodie was at prior to the game was a complete ripoff. Her father should have it burnt to the ground before she's horribly killed her coronation.

See that big -2.00 on History? That means we get a really vastly reduced amount of points from any of the sub skills. We only get 3 points per tic compared to the usual 5 points per tic. Since our skills mean our survival, we need to make good use of every class. Never take a class with such a huge penalty attached.

We normally get 2 skillpoints per weekday (10 per week); if we have a -2 penalty we get exactly zero points from our studies.

Being a willful little girl all of a sudden, Elodie's in the perfect mood to start training her new canine advisor in the ways of statecraft. Double up on Internal Affairs; have the puppy learn about each noble house's favorite flower. In time, you will be able to teach him to urinate on those flowers at your command -- and then you will need only say a renegade duchess's name, and your puppy will sally forth across the kingdom to desecrate her holdings.

I'm going to presume all of those foreign affairs votes are actually for foreign intelligence since:

1) Foreign affairs would net us 0 points for the week.

2) Foreign affairs is about (recent) history, not intrigue.

All moods, except neutral, have penalties and bonuses associated with them. Neutral, as can be assumed, has no modifiers on it. We need to be equally middling at all the mood stats to get it though. Useful for nothing because of how hard it is to get neutral.

Some skills are a nightmare to get raised (Royal Demeanor) because they only have one mood that has a positive effect and everything else is either neutral or give penalties. Most of them give penalties. I hate Royal Demeanor.

Our current mood, Willful, is the worst mood for us at the moment. It doesn't benefit anything we need in the near future and even penalizes one of those things.

Later on, It will be the single most important mood we can obtain. But that's in the future.

Also, I guess I forgot the little fiddly details on how much each class gives us in my drunken haze and the fact that I'm mostly skimming the lp right now. :v:

Still, I get the gist right! Don't take classes you have penalties in. It's a complete waste of time. Time poor Elodie doesn't have.

Hanako just released an update for the game today (version 1.2.20.1). There are a few changes that I will go over in the next update, but the only thing pertinent right now is that all previously seen dialogue (which is all of it in my case) has "skip ahead" icon on the bottom right.













People that have haven't played Long Live the Queen since the Steam patch won't recognize this character. Alice, among other things, replaces most of the generic "maids" throughout the game.



They have brought you a letter, and a gift.

'Condolences on the death of', 'deeply regret', 'best wishes'...

Oh! What a beautiful necklace!



Elodie is on fire right now!



Should we wear this necklace? And should Elodie experiment with becoming yielding? After the next update, I will be posting the bonuses and penalties of the emotions Elodie has seen on the second post.
