How can I raise my Melancholy/get Melancholy? I need it at level 4 to do that libretto for the Celestial school.

Mostly, it's card-based. The 'weather at last' card is the one that springs to mind, but several give that quality. It is also farmable by POSIs, by buying sapphires in Empire Adornments (in the sidestreets). More desperate people could go to the Iron Republic, but that's POSI only too.
There are a fair few opportunities out there, but I don't know any storylets accessible to pre-POSI people.

Certain story events have endings that give melancholy, and certain dream cards also raise it. So my rather unhelpful advice is to finish stories, and to pick any answer that looks like it involves brooding or dashed ideals.

- "So much has been lost" from "Weather at last" gives +3CP, but also -3CP Hedonist!

Probably not worth it because it locks you out of useful University content later on.
For the Struggling Artist card, giving him Jade raise both Melancholy and Magnanimous.
If you have a Bandaged Raven, you can ask for tales from Surface on its card; success result in 3 Vision of the Surface while failure gives you Melancholy up to level 9.
If you have a bottle of Tears of the Bazaar you can get yourself and your Melancholy high on it, but you probably don't have it. It is also risky.

Thank you, Estelle.
I'd rather the Ambitious Barrister call on me, not a Devil or Deviless.

You don't have to sell your soul. My main never has, and they won't try if you don't have any Hell connections. You won't suddenly lose your soul, either, so you don't need to worry about that.

You need to choose to start the story from the A devil's taken a shine to you card by writing a risqué note. There is also a fate-locked opportunity to become an Intimate of devils [spoiler] don't drink with a devil in a fate locked area {/spoiler]

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Yep, that's a good level. 5 is required to draw the card to start the story (outside of the Fate-locked method or the House of Chimes method).

also, if you're closest to urchins, their counting-the-days oppurtunity actually gives melancholy- completely counter-intuitive, given their usuall effects on melancholy.
