I'm Notability grinding, and I'm wondering, what point should I start doing marriage Notability grinds rather than MW?

I always thought that a person of "mysterious and indistinct gender" is one who refuses to answer questions about that gender and who refuses to follow gender-based societal conventions.

For example because they identify as an attack helicopter.

Or, given the full text of the option, someone who particularly despises Rubberies.

A good point. Though arguably a Rubbery would also be a "person of mysterious and indistinct gender."

Has the finale for the previous season been delayed? I played all three stories, but the finale hasn't appeared for me.

I have a "His Amused Lordship" card, and the icon next to activity says "unlocked when you have Route: The Shuttered Palace". I am at the Shuttered Palace, but the activity ("Make an impression on His Lordship") is still locked. Why?

You need to have the route permanently unlocked, either with "Opening the way to other parts of the city" or progress through the A Name Signed With a Flourish storyline, it won't do to just bribe the undercook with some silk. Have you attended the Ambassador's ball?

Yes and no.
There is no delay as there is no fixed point at which the seasonal finale is 'supposed' to be released. Generally they typically arrive in the gap before a new season starts or between the first and second story of a season. Don't worry, it will come when ready.

Ages ago, I saw an option somewhere in the fate-locked shroom-racing that involved the Rubbery Racer and required a Peculiar Personal Enhancement. I made a note of it so that I could come back and see that content once I had a PPE.
Now, however, I finally have a PPE and am having difficulty finding the option again. It doesn't seem to appear on the Rubbery Racer's card during the race, and I can't look it up on the wiki for obvious reasons. My best guess is that it's hidden somewhere in the branching storylets of the race itself, but I've gone through a few times and not seen it. Does anyone happen to know where exactly to find this option?
EDIT: After some plumbing of ancient forum threads, it seems that this option gives you a Stone-Tentacle Key, and hence, I assume, doesn't appear at all if you've already got one. Strange balance decision, if you ask me; I had the Key literally real-world *years* before I even made it to Investigations in the University.
If anyone happens to have an echo for the Rubbery Racer interaction, I'd be very grateful if you passed along a link.

I believe that the "pile of secrets" is more a case of an unusual quotation in the localisation than an unusual translation, but, yes, that's the scene I had in mind!
