I was a touch confused about the Consuming versus Consumed part of it, but it seems that that section of the wiki has been updated, so I am saved. Huzzah!

In the A Glimpse Backstage section, I left each of the companions to their privacy, but in reality, Iām a nosy b------, so does anyone have the echoes for what happens if you spy on them? 
Iād also love the text for St. Valentine in the Rites of Ruby if anyone has those.

Once you get the hang of it, itās much faster than that.
Improved Blood Oath grind:
You can consistently get ~70 Blood Oaths playing a Comedy as the King, thanks to the easier combined Dangerous+Persuasive checks. You can also sell the resulting 3 Memories of a Much Stranger Self to buy (at a loss) 37.5 more Blood Oaths per Play. Finally, once you start to get points in the āA Troupe in need of Bodiesā quality from Plays, you can convert each point to ~36 Blood Oaths worth of rewards in 4 actions in Parabola. Overall, this gives more than 7 Blood Oaths per action, which means that you can buy every equipment item in the shop in around 3 days.
Of course, if you just want to get the items as soon as possible, and you have a pile of unused Stuivers, you can just buy Blood Oaths at 50% loss instead.

Hereās a link to the first echo of St. Valentineās Day in the Rites of the Rubyāthe rest all follow: Fallen London
And Iād love to see the echoes for spying on Tatterdemalion if anyone has themāhe was the only one of my crew I didnāt spy on, and Iām curious about what I missed!

An unrelated issue, but Iāve only just realised you can have more than one type of audience for the play. Iāve gone throuh it 9 times now and only just rolled a result that isnāt mirrors (I still have yet to roll a result that isnāt the hunger for the knave). The odds donāt seem likely on that, but I thought it was funny.
Funny, i can -kinda- see the increase in Blood Oath through consecutive plays.
The Parabola thingy, however, is kinda new, but Really interesting.
Anyone know how to get A Troupe in Need of Bodies? I thought that I had finished all of this chapter, but looking at the wiki at the requirements of Look for the bloody traces of the Red-Handed Queen - Fallen London Wiki it looks like Iām still missing something. That and From Ritual To Restitution 15.
Just complete plays until you get it, I think I got it after 4 or 5 plays. After the first time, it seems to be guaranteed with every completed play.

Yeah, ditto. I was wondering the same thing but after a few plays it shows up. Not certain on the trigger but itās possible it uses Reputation in the Red Repertory so it just starts appearing after 5 plays.
Unfortunately my confusion with consuming and consumed resulted in an unfortunate end. My interest in the story is gone and am taking a break from the game cause of how upset i am. My only hope is that we can reset firmament.

Iām not 100% sure, but I think I unlocked āA Troupe in need of Bodiesā after 4 plays, so it might be random.
I also verified that you can gain more than 1 point of āA Troupe in need of Bodiesā from completing a single play: I just received 2, and I think Iāve seen up to 4. Iāll pay more attention to determine the range.
Sometimes, itās the thing to do. Iāve done it myself a couple of times. And while I clearly havenāt progressed to where that pattern is even evident, I have found the Queeneater content sufficiently disturbing to have left it for now.
When things have settled for you, I hope youāll find your way back! Take care.

Iām unsure if Iāve encountered a glitch or a hidden requirement. I have First Officer: Valentine, but have the 0 action option Seek Out St Valentineās Day, which the wiki seems to believe this should lock. Might be an interaction with blowing up the Calendar Council (hence not reporting it as a bug) but thought it was worth bringing up as Iām not really technical enough to check the requirements.
Iāve finally finished the story, now Iām left with getting the love stories and proscribed mats on the one hand, and running plays back to back on the other.
Given Iāve only a vague idea of what Iām doing with plays, does anyone have any advice? Iād greatly appreciate it.
Iāve been running plays as the king, the persuasive+dangerous challenges are the easiest ones
Anyone have good grinds for Venom Rubies? Iām kinda stuck.
You can get some from the Prelapsarian museum. Do you happen to have some Gratitude stocked up?

Iāve got about 34k of it.
Which Roof Location is best for buying Roof Drip?
Drip is 4 Stuiver at Hallowās, Burgundy & Queeneaters, so just fly around the roof a lot or cash out a Glimpse of Anathema in Burgundy.
