Just looked at the HD! storyline. You need to have Heart's Desire at exactly 22 for Tapping the Baton, or 22/23 for the unfinished masterpiece. Choosing the unfinished masterpiece at HD!22 skips step 23 straight to 24, and skips all the item gathering you need to Tap the Baton...but gets you banished from the court! So it's a really bad deal if you're already at 23, as it does not skip any steps (you'd get to 24 either way, the only thing you'd skip is a persuasive check...wow, scary!) Taking the long way by Tapping the Baton, and proceeding a step at the time does not get you banished. Keep that in mind if you plan on taking on any more actions at the Court, as the unbanishment storylets as described in the semi-recent news blog post by the devs have not been implemented yet.
