[10:29] *** Virgil has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[10:29] * dakkareth waves. 'lo Lost.
[10:29] *** Virgil is now known as Lost_Arts
[10:29] <~Anshu> hello
[10:29] <Lost_Arts> Howdy
[10:30] <Lost_Arts> I thought I was late
[10:30] <~Anshu> nope
[10:30] <~Anshu> still a half-hour to our (nominal) start time
[10:30] <Lost_Arts> Early instead eh?
[10:30] <~Anshu> mhm
[10:33] * dakkareth refreshes his memory - "Previously on Dawn of the Third Age ..."
[10:35] <~Anshu> Investigation of the attempted suicide bombing of the Denandsor Reclamation Day Parade turned up a firedust smuggler with links to a member the Saraban outcaste trading house. That member, although masquerading as a Water Aspect, turned out to be a Sidereal Adorjani Akuma.
[10:37] <dakkareth> Yeah. Re-reading the logs :)
[10:43] *** Brazen_Sand has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[10:44] <Brazen_Sand> There we go, finally
[10:44] <~Anshu> welcome
[10:44] <Brazen_Sand> Looks like we've got a small group today >_>
[10:45] <dakkareth> hey, it's early still
[10:45] <Brazen_Sand> 15 minutes early
[10:45] <dakkareth> and only Noldarr definitely said that he can't make it today
[10:45] <dakkareth> *Hattori
[10:45] <Brazen_Sand> I know
[10:46] <Brazen_Sand> That's fine with me. We only need one Combat-guy around *sparkle smile*
[10:46] <Brazen_Sand> Got a lot planned for us today, Taurus? : )
[10:47] <dakkareth> So that's half an hour before I'd start considering whether someone who didn't give any indication previously might not come.
[10:47] <Brazen_Sand> I'd consider it right when it's 1:00 PM. Since they all know what time it starts
[10:48] <dakkareth> Like a rematch? :p "That wasn't fair! Do over! This time I'll use my Ess 7 Charms!"
[10:48] <dakkareth> Nomoe: "Let me think ... no."
[10:48] <~Anshu> no, no rematch :P
[10:48] <~Anshu> I do have a fair bit planned, though
[10:50] <Brazen_Sand> LET'S ALL GO TO YUUUU-SHAN
[10:53] <Brazen_Sand> You there, Lost_Arts?
[10:58] <~Anshu> he was a bit ago
[10:58] <Brazen_Sand> : \
[10:58] <Brazen_Sand> Come on people get your head in the game! : O
[10:59] <dakkareth> Probably went afk for a bit after learning he was half an hour early, to return on the full hour?
[10:59] <Lost_Arts> Yep I'm here
[11:00] <Lost_Arts> And yeah Dakk has the right of it
[11:01] <Brazen_Sand> Wow, right on teh full hour
[11:01] <Brazen_Sand> Well, go time then? Let's at least decide where we are.
[11:01] <~Anshu> deciding where we are sounds fine to me.
[11:02] *** Lost_Arts is now known as Bright_Snow
[11:02] <Brazen_Sand> Okay
[11:02] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, where are we?
[11:02] <~Anshu> lol
[11:02] <Brazen_Sand> You're the ST
[11:02] *** dakkareth is now known as Nomoe_Hideaki
[11:03] <~Anshu> well, what would you guys have done after killing the SidKuma?
[11:04] <Brazen_Sand> Who said we killed him?
[11:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> brought the unconscious SidKuma to Denandsor's most secure prison
[11:04] <~Anshu> ah
[11:04] *** Pattern_Spider has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[11:04] <Brazen_Sand> Did you plan for that?
[11:04] <~Anshu> I was under the impression that he had been killed.
[11:04] <~Anshu> I did not, but that's okay too.
[11:04] <Brazen_Sand> Why? You have to specifically attack him again after he's been incapacitated
[11:05] <Brazen_Sand> -_-
[11:05] <Brazen_Sand> So what's he tell us before we execute him?
[11:06] <Bright_Snow> I actually do favour killing the Akuma
[11:06] <Bright_Snow> Cleans up the Shard
[11:07] <Bright_Snow> There is absolutely no reason to keep Akuma alive after all. Beyond interrogation of course.
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> That's my plan
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, that's what I think should happen
[11:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah.
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> Who'll execute him?
[11:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> After we learn whatever there is to learn. If that's possible at reasonable levels of risk.
[11:08] <Bright_Snow> Volunteers?
[11:08] <Brazen_Sand> One of us should do it. The Deliberative's people are kind of incompetent *points to the Lap and the Fiend getting out*
[11:08] <Brazen_Sand> I wanna see a body!
[11:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Sure.
[11:09] <Brazen_Sand> You know how these things go, if you can't see the body, then you can never be sure he/she/it is really dead
[11:09] <~Anshu> perhaps an interrogation scene while we wait?
[11:09] <Brazen_Sand> Sure
[11:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe would certainly volunteer. Again, once he is assured that we have learned all we can.
[11:09] <Brazen_Sand> cool
[11:10] <Brazen_Sand> You're up Nomoe
[11:10] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, make sure we're in a completely sealed room
[11:10] <Brazen_Sand> I mean COMPLETELY
[11:10] <~Anshu> I was gonna post
[11:11] <Brazen_Sand> and he's gotta be shackled
[11:11] <Brazen_Sand> I mean that Nomoe is better for interrogating then the rest of us (Maybe Bright Snow is better, I dunno)
[11:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, establishing shots for the scene intro are for Taurus ;)
[11:11] <Brazen_Sand> I'm sorry, I mis-spoke. I meant that Nomoe should take the lead during the interrogation, not that he was to post first.
[11:13] *** Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[11:14] <Brazen_Sand> Hi
[11:14] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[11:15] <Bright_Snow> Investigation 5
[11:15] <Bright_Snow> Manipulation 5
[11:15] <Bright_Snow> App 5
[11:15] <Brazen_Sand> Okay, Bright Snow it is
[11:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We'll assume at least one of us has been watching him, even unconscious, the whole time, right?
[11:16] <~Anshu> Sure.
[11:16] <Brazen_Sand> I should
[11:16] <Brazen_Sand> I don't sleep, after all.
[11:16] <~Anshu> That can be Noldarr.
[11:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hi hi ^^
[11:16] <~Anshu> hi Myll
[11:17] <~Anshu> or Brazen can do it.
[11:17] <Bright_Snow> Hey Myll
[11:17] <Brazen_Sand> What's the cell like? If I may ask
[11:18] <Brazen_Sand> Oh
[11:18] <Brazen_Sand> He should be in one of those Hannibal Lector Harnesses!
[11:18] <Bright_Snow> Joining the IC Myll?
[11:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[11:19] <Brazen_Sand> Seriously, it would be useful for keeping him from escaping
[11:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and air lock style doors!
[11:20] <~Anshu> and various wards built into the walls, yes.
[11:20] <Brazen_Sand> Almost as if they knew this was coming...
[11:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So Denandsor is good for something at least :p
[11:20] <Brazen_Sand> btw, does unsoakability apply to attacking inanimate objects?
[11:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> inanimate objects have soak, ergo it should
[11:21] <~Anshu> *nod*
[11:21] <Brazen_Sand> good...good.
[11:22] <Brazen_Sand> Are you waiting for someone or typing? I can't tell
[11:22] <~Anshu> I was distracted, actually >.>
[11:23] <~Anshu> trying to find a picture of a "Hannibal Lecter Harness" since I've never seen those movies
[11:23] <~Anshu> I assume you mean like a straitjacket sort of thing?
[11:24] <Brazen_Sand> It's like this kind of dolly thing
[11:26] <~Anshu> ok
[11:26] <~Anshu> we'll just go with the straitjacket
[11:26] <~Anshu> and Nomoe would have known that, since his Essence Sight was up during the fight
[11:27] <Brazen_Sand> (Link: http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/100greatestcharacters/photos/5.jpg)http://www.empireonline.com/images/features/100greatestcharacters/photos/5.jpg
[11:27] <Brazen_Sand> There's a photo
[11:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Perhaps, though with Occult 2 he might not have recognized it instantly. Plus, this way we have something to talk about ;)
[11:27] <~Anshu> ok
[11:27] <~Anshu> :P
[11:27] <Brazen_Sand> The straps are important. Otherwise he'd jsut run with the jacket on
[11:28] <Brazen_Sand> Ruby
[11:28] <Brazen_Sand> Can you do any social or interrogation stuff?
[11:29] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> No.
[11:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No mind reading soulsteel spike? ;)
[11:29] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> No :p
[11:29] <Brazen_Sand> You really should get some of those, with all the interrogations we do, that Soulsteel spike thing would be pretty useful.
[11:30] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> There'd be no need if we let them get away :p
[11:31] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Anyway I may consider it today.
[11:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> This conversation is, at least on my end, mostly meant to bridge the time until we get a scene setup for the cell with the Akuma, btw ;)
[11:31] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[11:31] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ah
[11:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Though, the other characters are welcome to join in of course :)
[11:32] <Brazen_Sand> Indeed
[11:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> how much time has passed since the end of the fight?
[11:33] <~Anshu> a quarter of an hour or so? maybe half?
[11:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmhh, that complicates things since we'll still be down motes and wp.
[11:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Oh well.
[11:34] <Brazen_Sand> cripes, I don't even remember how much motes I have
[11:34] <Brazen_Sand> I know that I have 7 or 8 WP though
[11:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That's why you should note things like that down.
[11:36] * Nomoe_Hideaki is down 16m and 4wp, with 6m now recovered.
[11:38] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> down 3wp, 8 Personal motes, 2 Periph ^^
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> I think I remember skirting the edge of Periph essence
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> I mean starting to maybe have to dip into it
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Is this guy known, btw? Is there a chance we might recognize him?
[11:38] <~Anshu> um.
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> Arcane Fate.
[11:39] <~Anshu> Arcane Fate, and his Resplendent Destiny is still on.
[11:40] <Bright_Snow> Is it even clear which type of Sidereal he is
[11:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Journeys
[11:40] <Brazen_Sand> It doesn't really matter now
[11:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> IIRC
[11:40] <~Anshu> He displayed a Journeys anima during the fight, yes.
[11:40] <~Anshu> and mark.
[11:42] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> So no inkwell and no Noldaar. Our cast shrinks. Oo
[11:42] <Bright_Snow> I imagine though both will be present next week
[11:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ah
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> We could re-open the Recruitment too, if we wanted
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> Personally, I wouldn't mind taking over Inkwell and rebuilding him...
[11:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Much to early to jump to such conclusions.
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> *has teh technology*
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> I can finally do that crystal Defiler with TK thing after getting kind of cockblocked in OMWF
[11:44] * Nomoe_Hideaki didn't need *that* particular mental image
[11:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> :p
[11:44] <Bright_Snow> Noldaar did say he wasn't going to be present tonight
[11:45] <Brazen_Sand> I know
[11:45] <Brazen_Sand> Ah geez, he's got Hateful Wicked Noise, I bet
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> I've got just the thing
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> *grabs air horn*
[11:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Essence sight up to see if he has any active Charms, permanent or not.
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[11:48] <Brazen_Sand> Totally not getting into Nomoe's face, I know he's all autistic abotu that : P
[11:49] <~Anshu> 7 Ox-Bodies, 7 Wind-Born Strides... Permanent Charms that require Essence expenditure wouldn't count, would they?
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> How do you mean?
[11:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If they are active they'd be visible.
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> Like committed Essence?
[11:50] <~Anshu> no, not committed Essence.
[11:50] <~Anshu> Like, Laughing Gust Denial is Permanent, but doesn't do anything unless you pay 6m
[11:51] <~Anshu> I'll say they don't count.
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> Valor
[11:51] <Bright_Snow> I think the spending of essence would be visible though
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> No, that doens't count cause it's an upgrade to a charm
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> so you'd need to spend the essence for it to be visible
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> btw, what's his Valor/
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> *?
[11:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Upgrade charms wouldn't, but permanently active Charms would.
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[11:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Damn, I don#t have enough personal essence to really do much.
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> It's okay to go totemic
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> Who's going to complain?
[11:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> roll the dice in the ooc
[11:53] <Bright_Snow> Yeah Snow is actually out of personal
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> Spending 5 motes on Malfeas Excellency
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> Oops, sorry
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 18
[11:53] <~Anshu> He's also got Running to Forever x2 and Murder is Meat
[11:53] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 11 successes against TN 7: [3, 9, 10, 3, 3, 8, 9, 1, 2, 6, 8, 7, 1, 4, 1, 10, 9, 8]
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> Yes!
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> That was a nice roll
[11:54] <~Anshu> It was. Charisma + Presence, I presume.
[11:54] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[11:54] <Brazen_Sand> He's got a Specialty in Intimidation
[11:55] <Brazen_Sand> + stunt bonus
[11:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Infinite Presence Mastery from Peripheral.
[11:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Full power.
[11:56] <Brazen_Sand> What's his Valor?
[11:56] <Brazen_Sand> It's UMI either way, but Cowing the Lowly is stronger
[11:57] <Bright_Snow> Man I need to purchase offensive social charms
[11:57] <~Anshu> the threshold is what? 3 and lower?
[11:57] <Brazen_Sand> Yes
[11:57] <Brazen_Sand> I think it worked last time
[11:57] <Brazen_Sand> but then he used Avoidance Kata anyway
[11:58] <~Anshu> yeah, his Valor's not high enough.
[11:58] <Brazen_Sand> Awesome
[11:58] <Brazen_Sand> So he needs to eat 2 WP if he wants to avoid answering his name
[11:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can I coordinate a social attack?
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Hmmm, that might be a good idea
[11:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Even though we began posting the stunts before the idea occured to me?
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Good cop bad cop
[11:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Who else wants to participate? The more the better ;)
[11:59] <~Anshu> unless you failed to penetrate his MDV, Brazen. Which you did.
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Furry Cop, Robo Cop ; P
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[11:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Nope
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Come on Ruby
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> You can be all like "YOU ARE COMING WITH ME"
[12:00] <~Anshu> did fail, I mean. *realized that was unclear*
[12:00] <Brazen_Sand> Whuuuuuut?
[12:00] <Brazen_Sand> I got 11 successes
[12:00] <~Anshu> Yes.
[12:00] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Uh. I have nothing to edge or help. And She's not about to put her cannon's bore against his head. That's just mean XD
[12:00] <Brazen_Sand> We need mean!
[12:00] <Brazen_Sand> Okay, Maybe Nomoe will have better luck
[12:01] <Brazen_Sand> Snow, feel free to do something
[12:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can I coordinate, Anshu?
[12:01] <Brazen_Sand> And Ruby, just try rolling the dice, anything is better then nothing.
[12:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or just a normal attack?
[12:02] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> whaha. My social pool is less than yours. And my luck of late persists to state I will not roll more success than I have dice ^^
[12:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if so, 2m on 2nd excellency
[12:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 15
[12:02] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 8 successes against TN 7: [8, 6, 6, 7, 1, 5, 7, 8, 2, 7, 4, 6, 7, 10, 6]
[12:02] <~Anshu> yes, coordinate.
[12:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> wow.
[12:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I could coordinate everyone and still have sux to spare :p
[12:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I'll include Bright Snow, Brazen and Ruby
[12:03] <~Anshu> ok.
[12:03] <Brazen_Sand> Awesome
[12:03] <Brazen_Sand> Should we do other stuff to go with it?
[12:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> though if she doesn't want to that's ok. The Akuma gets -1 to DV for every participant
[12:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> For Nomoe's social attack ...
[12:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> full excellency, plus Dialogue-Commanding Speech
[12:04] <Bright_Snow> Quick question: How injured is the Akuma?
[12:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 23
[12:04] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 11 successes against TN 7: [1, 4, 9, 8, 6, 4, 5, 1, 9, 8, 3, 10, 3, 5, 7, 10, 1, 2, 2, 9, 5, 6, 8]
[12:04] <Brazen_Sand> >_<
[12:04] <Bright_Snow> Because it is increadibly tempting to poison the smug bastard
[12:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heheheh.
[12:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Right, wound penalties!
[12:05] <Brazen_Sand> That's it, I'm gonna start punching
[12:05] <~Anshu> oh right
[12:05] <~Anshu> *checks*
[12:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> With a -2 to DV from wound penalties and -2 (or more) from the coordinated attack, and taking into account Nomoe's Appearance which is currently 10 ... does that succeed? And if so by how much?
[12:05] <Bright_Snow> Arghhh. Time to pull the malfean off
[12:07] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 13
[12:07] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 5 successes against TN 7: [2, 5, 1, 8, 6, 2, 4, 9, 8, 5, 9, 4, 9]
[12:07] <Brazen_Sand> Bah!
[12:07] <Brazen_Sand> Teach me to try to intimidate without saying anything
[12:07] <Brazen_Sand> *gets 8 motes back, at least*
[12:07] <Brazen_Sand> (from last 2 stunts)
[12:08] <Bright_Snow> Is Brazen actually trying to strike the Akuma
[12:08] <Bright_Snow> ?
[12:08] <Brazen_Sand> No
[12:08] <Brazen_Sand> It was a Presence+ Charisma social attack
[12:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[20:05:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> With a -2 to DV from wound penalties and -2 (or more) from the coordinated attack, and taking into account Nomoe's Appearance which is currently 10 ... does that succeed? And if so by how much?
[12:09] <~Anshu> it would succeed, yet.
[12:09] <~Anshu> yes*
[12:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> by how many successes?
[12:11] <~Anshu> *calculates*
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> How does Suppressing virtues work with Infernals?
[12:12] <~Anshu> The same way for everyone.
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, if Torment is the Yozis getting pissed
[12:12] <~Anshu> And 6 successes.
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> Then why would I get Torment from Suppressing Compassion?
[12:12] <~Anshu> *forgot the wound penalties earlier*
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> ...
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> So I did succeed then?
[12:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In that case Nomoe's Compulsion to answer his questions truthfully costs 4wp to resist.
[12:12] <~Anshu> nah, he'll just spend the WP
[12:12] <Brazen_Sand> Awesome, an extra 4 motes.
[12:13] <Brazen_Sand> It's still successful
[12:13] <~Anshu> how much WP would it have taken? 2?
[12:13] <Brazen_Sand> So I get extra motes from teh stunt
[12:13] <Brazen_Sand> 2
[12:13] <~Anshu> hmm
[12:13] <Brazen_Sand> 2 wp
[12:13] <~Anshu> I know
[12:13] * Nomoe_Hideaki is down 4 personal, 20 peripheral
[12:14] <Brazen_Sand> So if I suppress a Virtue, I get a point of torment?
[12:15] <~Anshu> if you suppress your primary one,
[12:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> btw, that was a social attack from Ruby, right?
[12:16] <~Anshu> Broken Silence Laughter Defense.
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> That's it
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 5
[12:17] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 0 successes against TN 7: [3, 3, 2, 2, 5]
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> Wow, that's embarrassing
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that your attack?
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> I missed the guy who was standing completely still
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> oh wait, I get stuntage
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 2
[12:17] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 1 successes against TN 7: [1, 9]
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> Yaaaaay
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> So I guess that's a hit
[12:18] <~Anshu> Yeah, probably. I suppose technically I could have him Duck Fate, but...
[12:18] <Brazen_Sand> He's restrained
[12:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Using previously declared Defend Other
[12:19] <~Anshu> Don't think Duck Fate requires you to be able to move. You just shunt the causality off your strand to some other one. Probably some random rock or empty patch of ocean.
[12:19] <~Anshu> but it's not necessary anyway.
[12:19] <Brazen_Sand> I suppose
[12:20] <Brazen_Sand> That's UMI, btw, Nomoe
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> how many dice?
[12:20] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 12
[12:21] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 7 successes against TN 7: [10, 4, 1, 9, 8, 5, 9, 3, 5, 8, 5, 9]
[12:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> bounces off MDV
[12:21] <Brazen_Sand> You lucky duck
[12:22] <Brazen_Sand> Hrm, shouldn't have capped that
[12:22] <Brazen_Sand> I prefer to leave that for Crowned with Fury
[12:23] <Brazen_Sand> Mmmm, unsoakable damage
[12:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Using the japanese mode of address to represent whatever honorifics exist in Old Realm.
[12:24] <Brazen_Sand> Yay, I finally got to act like a Slayer : D
[12:25] <Brazen_Sand> Errr, a violent Slayer
[12:25] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[12:25] <Brazen_Sand> And really, Nomoe, he is kinda already acquiessing to you
[12:26] <Brazen_Sand> and I believe that for Malfeas himself to do that, he'd get Limit
[12:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So Nomoe notices.
[12:26] <Brazen_Sand> NOT THAT YOU'RE IN CHARGE OF HIM <>_<>
[12:27] <~Anshu> Nomoe, are you wanting me to make some response?
[12:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Sure.
[12:30] <Brazen_Sand> Man, I can't wait to tell people abotu my day
[12:30] <Brazen_Sand> "I helped interrogate the Joker"
[12:30] <~Anshu> =)
[12:31] <~Anshu> that's what I'm going for.
[12:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmhh. He can't have much essence.
[12:32] <Brazen_Sand> We don't really need his name, you know.
[12:32] <~Anshu> <.< That's why I've been stunting like a motherfucker for him :P
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> He lost because he couldn't keep up his Duck Fate, and now that he has spoken ...
[12:32] <Bright_Snow> It is likely to be irrelevant
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 10
[12:32] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 4 successes against TN 7: [7, 5, 8, 6, 1, 5, 5, 9, 1, 9]
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> his Broken SIlence Laughter Defense costs more.
[12:33] <~Anshu> it might've cost more anyway. It's a little ambiguous whether previous invocations of the Charm count as "other vocal utterances previous in the scene"
[12:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah
[12:34] <Brazen_Sand> Should've had Nomoe and the rest leave and then turn on the lgihts and ZOMG BRAZEN IS BEHIND HIM
[12:34] <Brazen_Sand> *bonk on table*
[12:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heheh
[12:35] <Brazen_Sand> SWEAR TO ME
[12:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Judge's Ear Technique - truth or lie or misdirection?
[12:35] <~Anshu> Truth.
[12:35] <~Anshu> in fact
[12:35] <Brazen_Sand> crap, shoulda hit him with Stern Instructive Patronage
[12:36] <Bright_Snow> Man why are Exalts named Vayu always total lunatics
[12:36] <~Anshu> ... you've met a previous one?
[12:36] <Brazen_Sand> Then it would be like "I'm not an Aku-*KABOOM*"
[12:36] <Bright_Snow> I've run a Dragonblooded game with one
[12:36] <Bright_Snow> The character was a lunatic
[12:36] <Bright_Snow> Player was fine though
[12:37] <~Anshu> Manip + Perform to create an Emotion of debilitating irritation in all present :P
[12:37] <Brazen_Sand> Do any of us know anything about that name?
[12:37] <~Anshu> .ex 22
[12:37] <Pattern_Spider> you have no account
[12:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> good question
[12:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .adduser Anshu 26
[12:37] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki added the user Anshu
[12:37] <~Anshu> .ex 22
[12:37] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 9 successes against TN 7: [7, 9, 7, 9, 4, 6, 6, 5, 1, 6, 2, 4, 9, 9, 6, 3, 7, 6, 2, 8, 8, 3]
[12:37] <~Anshu> presumably it bounces.
[12:37] <Brazen_Sand> *phew*
[12:37] <Brazen_Sand> Just bounced
[12:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> depends ...
[12:38] <~Anshu> on?
[12:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> remember, social attacks penalize mental dvs
[12:38] <Brazen_Sand> Dodge MDV
[12:38] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Bounces
[12:38] <~Anshu> ah yes
[12:38] <Brazen_Sand> Did he use any Excellencies against us?
[12:39] <Brazen_Sand> With that attack, I mean
[12:39] <~Anshu> presumably yes. He was made with the simplified system.
[12:39] <Brazen_Sand> Scorn the Stars. Not anymore.
[12:39] <Bright_Snow> Labyrinth of the Beast
[12:39] <~Anshu> all right, very well.
[12:40] <Brazen_Sand> So he loses all the excellency dice
[12:40] <Brazen_Sand> for that attack
[12:40] <~Anshu> noted.
[12:40] <~Anshu> I have no idea what that leaves him with.
[12:41] <~Anshu> Though I'm tempted to have him whip out the Fateful Excellency now :P
[12:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> let's just say it balances out the penalties for previous social attacks on our side at the least ;)
[12:41] <~Anshu> sure.
[12:41] <Brazen_Sand> Those don't work either
[12:41] <Brazen_Sand> it basically cancels out Excellencies
[12:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[20:37:25] <Brazen_Sand> Do any of us know anything about that name?
[12:42] <~Anshu> Do any of you have Contacts or Connections in the Bureau of Destiny?
[12:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nope!
[12:42] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> nope
[12:43] <~Anshu> If Noldarr were here, his Ally might be useful for that.
[12:43] <~Anshu> But he isn't.
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> But he is here
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> He was watching the prisoner
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> "Hey, weird quiet girl who follows him around. Give us a hand."
[12:43] <~Anshu> the player isn't here :P
[12:44] <Brazen_Sand> ...god-dammit, did Arun mean Brazen?
[12:45] <~Anshu> Nomoe did, and Arun agreed :P
[12:45] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> nod nod
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> What?
[12:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> social defense stunt :p
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> You can both suck my brass balls >:\
[12:45] <~Anshu>
[12:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Yes, I can imagine. Nothing so pleasurable as to see a former ally, now traitor, embarass himself, isn't it?"
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> ...Does he resist the UMI?
[12:46] <~Anshu> ... what UMI?
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> That was a command, after all
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> I commanded him to suck my balls
[12:46] <~Anshu> there have been no dice rolled.
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 12
[12:46] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 5 successes against TN 7: [5, 10, 7, 1, 10, 4, 4, 1, 6, 4, 1, 1]
[12:46] <~Anshu> Bounce.
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> : B
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Too bad.
[12:47] <~Anshu> I will stunt the defense though. :P
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Man, Crowned with Fury is awesome
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Anyone here ever read Preacher?
[12:48] <Bright_Snow> Nope
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> Crowned with Fury is basically The Word
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> Which the main character can use to make anyone do anything he wants to
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> So he can go like "GIVE ME THAT SANDWICH" and they have to do it
[12:51] *** RandBrittain has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[12:51] <Bright_Snow> Does the Akuma have any open wounds?
[12:51] <Brazen_Sand> Oh gee, how nice of you to grace us with your presence
[12:51] <RandBrittain> Ugh, how did I sleep until two?
[12:51] <~Anshu> The Akuma does not have any open wounds.
[12:51] <Bright_Snow> Dude, chill
[12:51] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> whee Rand!
[12:51] <Bright_Snow> And high Rand
[12:51] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[12:51] <~Anshu> hi.
[12:51] *** RandBrittain is now known as Inkwell
[12:52] <~Anshu> Nomoe, is there a social attack with that or can I have him ignore you/
[12:52] <Inkwell> I apologize for being late.
[12:52] <Bright_Snow> Hi even
[12:52] <Bright_Snow> Geeze what happened to my ability to use English.
[12:52] <Inkwell> I took it with my She Who Lives in Her Name Charms.
[12:52] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> We're kinda sort interrogating the Akuma Sidereal we got two weeks ago.
[12:52] <Inkwell> Now you speak only Old Realm!
[12:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 22
[12:52] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 10 successes against TN 7: [1, 3, 7, 9, 9, 3, 1, 1, 1, 4, 7, 6, 7, 9, 9, 6, 5, 1, 7, 9, 8, 5]
[12:53] <Bright_Snow> Makes sense to me
[12:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> plus -2 wound penalty, plus relative Appearance modifier (Nomoe at 10, currently)
[12:53] <Bright_Snow> Though I always hated hyroglypic languages.
[12:53] <~Anshu> Previously, on Dawn of the Third Age - Investigation of the attempted suicide bombing of the Denandsor Reclamation Day Parade turned up a firedust smuggler with links to a member of the Saraban outcaste trading house. That member, although masquerading as a Water Aspect, turned out to be a Sidereal Adorjani Akuma. After a dramatic chase through the streets of Denandsor, our heroes united as a team and brought him down.
[12:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I say kinda sort cause we've not made much headway this time. They gonna force me to take Personality Overriding spike and likely a whole slew of social combat charms XD
[12:54] <Bright_Snow> So really YOU should have been interrogating him, eh Myll?
[12:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, Nomoe is using the social sledgehammer and if we can run him out of essence - he's running on stunts alone right now, I think - we can make it work.
[12:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And Bright Snow is advocating poisoning the Akuma :D
[12:54] <Brazen_Sand> Not really, cause she doesn't have those charms
[12:55] <Inkwell> Damn it, one day, I will make Conceptual Context Expansion do something useful.
[12:55] <~Anshu> Was that NMI or UMI, Nomoe?
[12:55] <Inkwell> Today may be that day!
[12:56] <Inkwell> Do we know this guy's MDV?
[12:56] <Brazen_Sand> About 8 or 9 currently
[12:56] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Its pretty high as far as I can tell
[12:56] <Inkwell> Right, then.
[12:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Good question. NMI I think, but with a Charm that can make WP costs rise beyond the normal maximum for NMI
[12:57] * Inkwell inscribes a request to the dicespiders, engraving his calligraphy with his own blood and white gold from the mines of the Blessed Isle.
[12:57] <Brazen_Sand> You have one?
[12:57] <~Anshu> do oyu have such a charm?
[12:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Would that by defninition be UMI? I don't know.
[12:57] <~Anshu> that would be UMI pretty much by definition.
[12:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Dialogue-Commanding Speech, as I mentioned in PM
[12:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I took your silence for assent - shouldn't I have?
[12:58] <~Anshu> no, you should have. I just looked at it and promptly forgot what it did :P
[12:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> anyway, how many sux did I get past his MDV? Since assuming he doesn't use a charm it would succeed.
[12:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or does he Broken Silence Laugh again?
[12:59] <~Anshu> I'm deciding :P
[12:59] <Inkwell> Just have him say something and I can bring in the context expanders.
[12:59] <Inkwell> That'll push him past the amount of WP he can stunt back in a turn.
[13:00] <~Anshu> brb for a second
[13:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So, does Bright Snow go for the poisoning plan?
[13:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Would her spear's poison work for that?
[13:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> essence sight, Inkwell?
[13:04] <Brazen_Sand> Hey, what's this guy look like, anyway?
[13:04] <Brazen_Sand> The Sidereal, I mean.
[13:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If so, Ess 7 Chosen of Journeys Akuma of Adorjan, 7 Ox-Bodies, 7 Wind-Born Strides, Running to Forever x2 and Murder is Meat.
[13:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Good question for Anshu, once he returns :)
[13:05] <~Anshu> and back.
[13:05] <Inkwell> Yeah, it's practically free for me with SWLIHN's version, so I always have it up.
[13:05] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, Anshu, what's this guy look like? I've defaulted to imagining him as some old man with a white beard
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> Which is my default Sid appearance mentally
[13:06] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> heh that's what I went with too Oo
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> KEJAAAAAAAAAAAAK
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> *shakes fist*
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> But yeah, what's he look like?
[13:07] <Brazen_Sand> He might be young and just pumped up with Essence from Akumatization
[13:08] <Inkwell> Exalts nearly always look young, anyway.
[13:08] <~Anshu> Reedily-built adult male, with the aspect markings of a low-Breeding Water Terrestrial. Cleanshaven, black hair slicked back and gathered into a short ponytail. Deceptively open face.
[13:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> unless they're close to death.
[13:08] <Inkwell> The fact that Kejak has grey hair is what tells you that he may drop dead at any moment.
[13:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> or they *want* to look old
[13:08] <Inkwell> Yeha.
[13:09] <Brazen_Sand> Cool
[13:09] <Inkwell> And more anti-Infernal prejudice, I see!
[13:09] <Brazen_Sand> Look, I got a bit mad, okay?
[13:09] <Inkwell> I need to start recruiting more of these Reclamation types to my cause of Green Sun Awesomeness.
[13:10] <Inkwell> "Join our cause, and we'll give you whatever the Yozis promised you plus you won't have to serve mad titanic forces."
[13:10] <Inkwell> That's actually a pretty good offer.
[13:10] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[13:10] <~Anshu> unless Inkwell knows how to un-akumatize people...
[13:10] <Inkwell> Well, not this one.
[13:11] <Inkwell> He gave away the only thing that's truly sacred to Inkwell. He's an unperson.
[13:12] <~Anshu> Broken Silence Laughter Defense again.
[13:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmhh, I'm drawing a blank on creative approaches here. Any ideas?
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> Poison him already
[13:15] <Inkwell> I can use my social magic to make him talk, you just have to get him to say //something// first.
[13:15] <Inkwell> Trick him into dropping hints, and it's on like Kukla Kong.
[13:15] <Inkwell> Or it'll be like all those other times I failed to pierce an MDV.
[13:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Charm use there?
[13:16] <~Anshu> Shrugging Water Dragon Escape.
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> Killing him now
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> Unarmed GSNF
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> 7 motes to make it Perfect
[13:18] <~Anshu> hmmm
[13:18] <Inkwell> Clinching with Mind-Hand, carefully pulling all his limbs in opposite directions and adding eight dice.
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> So that's at least 5L damage
[13:18] <Inkwell> Spending a WP to lower my target numbers.
[13:18] <Inkwell> If I go first, that means he'll be Inactive for Brazen's attack.
[13:18] <Inkwell> .ex(6) 23
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> God-dammit, Nomoe, stop cock-blocking me! >_<
[13:19] <~Anshu> that's not the syntax, I think
[13:19] <~Anshu> I forget what it is
[13:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> he'd have let you, if you just meant to kncok him out
[13:19] <Bright_Snow> Stop trying to kill the prisoner
[13:19] <Inkwell> .ex 6 23
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> It WOULD knock him out
[13:19] <Pattern_Spider> target number must be between 4 and 9
[13:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ".ex 23 6" would be 23 dice against tn 6
[13:19] <Inkwell> .ex 23 6
[13:19] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 18 successes against TN 6: [4, 10, 6, 6, 4, 10, 9, 1, 10, 5, 6, 3, 5, 6, 10, 2, 6, 9, 5, 6, 1, 6, 6]
[13:19] <Inkwell> That's right. Be grappled now.
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> For the last time, they get incapacitated if damaged that much
[13:20] <Inkwell> I don't think it's okay to let angry Infernals GSNF prisoners just because you know the rules require a coup de grace.
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> He's already at Incapacitated though, if conscious for the moment.
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> No he isn't
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> He was healed
[13:20] <Inkwell> It's bad manners.
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So the next attack would kill him.
[13:21] <Brazen_Sand> And they do know, actually. In OMWF, it was known that Essence-Users had to be coup-de-grased
[13:21] <Brazen_Sand> That's the rationale they had about punishing Mendicant's Lunar Mate
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In any case, previously declared Defend Other and Immortal Blade-Deflecting Palm.
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> Doing it again.
[13:22] <Bright_Snow> If your IC actions are describing Sand as trying to kill him, don't complain when we think your character is trying to kill him, no matter what the letter of the rules.
[13:22] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen, let's wait for Anshu to react first, ok?
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> But it's an observable and well-known phenomenon
[13:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And then possibly roll JB
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> fine
[13:23] <Inkwell> I really need to get some Adorjan magic myself. I suck at JB rolls.
[13:24] <Inkwell> I guess I can apply her zoom-a-zoom to my Silver Surfer platform fairly well.
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> I took some merits last time
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> So I got +3 dice to JB. It's not much, but it helps
[13:24] <Inkwell> Oh, well, only three more weeks, and then it's Heretic time.
[13:24] <Inkwell> Then we'll see who wins JB rolls.
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> ?
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> Heretic?
[13:25] <Inkwell> The Heresy will be spoken soon!
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> Infernal Overflow?
[13:25] <Inkwell> Oh, yes.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Hopefully that's actually not been pushed back
[13:26] <Inkwell> Heretics are the //other// Green Sun Prince development path.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> ?
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Source?
[13:26] <Inkwell> All the authors have teased the Heretics term before.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu?
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Interesting
[13:26] <~Anshu> Duck Fate.
[13:27] <Inkwell> I mentioned the other day that Infernals should have two Favored Yozis instead of a Caste Yozi, and Neph told me that was a heretical idea.
[13:27] <Inkwell> I thought he was out of motes!
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> Did he dodge my second attack too?
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> Stunts, foo
[13:27] <Inkwell> Duck Fate is like ten motes.
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> He made a bunch of them
[13:28] <~Anshu> He's been stunting faster than he's been expending Essence.
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can AESS evaluate how much essence he has left to spare?
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> No way
[13:28] <Inkwell> No, it can't.
[13:28] <~Anshu> up until recently, at least.
[13:28] <Inkwell> Well, he's talking now. That ups the cost of Broken Silence.
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> he's talked before
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe's talk bounces off of Primacy Mantle
[13:28] <~Anshu> and Brazen, I was ignoring your second attack while I reacted to what everyone else was doing.
[13:29] <Brazen_Sand> I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does.
[13:29] <Inkwell> I'm using Conceptual Context Expansion.
[13:29] <~Anshu> In fact, I expect Nomoe may wish to deal with your second attack as he did the first
[13:29] <Inkwell> Spending ten motes to add five successes.
[13:29] <Inkwell> .ex 10 6
[13:29] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 5 successes against TN 6: [6, 2, 7, 3, 1, 1, 10, 6, 5, 1]
[13:29] <Brazen_Sand> That passes
[13:29] <Inkwell> .ex 2
[13:29] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 2 successes against TN 7: [10, 6]
[13:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, if it comes to it that Brazen makes it he will
[13:30] <Inkwell> Great, twelve successes on the attack including the stunt.
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> That's really irritating >_<
[13:30] <~Anshu> bwahaha. The Sidereal you united to defeat is ruining your unity with just his laughter and a few well-placed words!
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> ...FFFFFFUUUUUUUUU
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> Through Roleplay, no less >_<
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> Fuck it, Anshu gets a 3-die stunt
[13:31] <~Anshu> :o
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, you heard me
[13:31] <Inkwell> Inkwell is losing his temper, too, only not against his friends.
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> I'm a Slayer, this isn't losing his temper
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, I've got a charm that makes losing his temper very very frightening indeed
[13:32] <Inkwell> It's worth noting that Inkwell thinks of all the PCs as friends, even though in at least one case this is a dangerous distortion of reality.
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> Which? Brazen doens't really mind Inkwell
[13:32] <Inkwell> Conceptual Context Expansion should really make the Sidereal explain exactly what he's trying to do.
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> He thinks Inkwell is weird, but otherwise, doesn't really care either way
[13:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen, that wasn't a command or a threat so much as Nomoe informing Brazen that it would be against his presumed interest in working together to continue to offend Nomoe.
[13:32] <Inkwell> He has to explain the full context of his actions to my satisfaction.
[13:33] <~Anshu> oh.
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> You told him not to do something
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> that's a command
[13:33] <Inkwell> No, I mean Hideaki, who clearly doesn't consider Inkwell a friend. Or possibly a person.
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> I understand that
[13:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yes, Nomoe did. But this isn't a (rolled) social attack anyway.
[13:34] <Brazen_Sand> Just saying.
[13:34] <~Anshu> Inkwell
[13:34] <Inkwell> Even the full Solar social suite doesn't prevent you from totally misunderstanding a person if you don't want to know!
[13:34] <Inkwell> It's the syntax that counts, not the mechanics.
[13:34] <~Anshu> is there a WP cost to resist that?
[13:35] <Inkwell> Yes, 2 WP. It's a Compulsion.
[13:35] <~Anshu> okay...
[13:35] <~Anshu> *ponders*
[13:36] <Inkwell> Sooner or later this jackleg has got to run out of motes. It's not like he's an akuma of Malfeas or something.
[13:36] <Inkwell> And yeah, Imperious Primacy Mantle does mean you have to be careful how you phrase casual statements. It's delicious madness!
[13:37] <~Anshu> is that acceptable, Inkwell?
[13:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah.
[13:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And perfectly in line with the cause of all the headbutting :D
[13:39] <Inkwell> That's satisfactory.
[13:40] * Inkwell makes a suggestion he doesn't have the balls to carry out.
[13:40] <~Anshu> hmm
[13:40] <~Anshu> I think I'll make that a social attack
[13:40] <Brazen_Sand> I might just spend a WP to suppress compassion
[13:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Though, while NOmoe would find a headbutt terribly undignified it would be a deadly, deadly attack in his case thanks to Solar Hero Style.
[13:41] <~Anshu> Manip + Presence on Brazen, to make him act on the insult of being referred to as a "pet"
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> Roll?
[13:42] <Bright_Snow> How clear is it that Inkwell won't carry it out?
[13:42] <~Anshu> should I assume you want to use Scorn the Stars?
[13:42] <Brazen_Sand> Yup, likely
[13:42] <Brazen_Sand> unless he can stop Crippling effects, it's gonna happen
[13:42] <~Anshu> ok
[13:42] <Bright_Snow> What do I need to roll for that Anshu?
[13:42] <~Anshu> .ex 13
[13:42] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 7 successes against TN 7: [3, 2, 8, 8, 7, 9, 1, 8, 6, 9, 8, 2, 6]
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> You. Are. Path-et-TIC
[13:43] <~Anshu> :P
[13:43] <Inkwell> Inkwell is suppressing the urge to vomit right now. I think it's pretty clear what he's feeling.
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> ...This is why you shouldn't sleep in Inkwell
[13:43] <Inkwell> He's a pasty little Compassion 4 nerd anyway. He has to get really angry before he's ready to hurt somebody.
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> You had to eat breakfast super-fast and now you've got indigestion D:
[13:43] <~Anshu> I'm gonna say you don't need to roll, Lost.
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> You didn't mind attacking those DBs before
[13:44] <~Anshu> He's being at least physically cooperative
[13:44] <Inkwell> I had a good run-up, so I was able to get mad.
[13:44] <Bright_Snow> Ok the bracelet produces Coral Snake Venom. I've just poisoned him.
[13:44] <Inkwell> Also they were a) about to murder people and b) not our prisoners.
[13:45] <Brazen_Sand> Not about to
[13:45] <Brazen_Sand> but yeah to the other stuff
[13:45] <~Anshu> oh boy, back to the poison rules. Man, why can't they be simple like the D&D rules?
[13:45] <~Anshu> :P
[13:46] <Bright_Snow> Yeah well. Be thankful I don't have the Lunar Charms for producing my own poison yet
[13:47] <~Anshu> heh
[13:47] <Bright_Snow> They are on the list
[13:47] <~Anshu> .ex 14
[13:47] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 5 successes against TN 7: [1, 4, 2, 2, 10, 10, 5, 6, 2, 3, 9, 2, 4, 1]
[13:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heh. You could make a custom poison that doubles as a truth serum!
[13:48] <~Anshu> okay, so he takes 6 bashing
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> Aaaand he's unconscious
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> XD
[13:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> I thought he wasn't healed to full health
[13:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> one dice of bashing per interval
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> Ah
[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that is he takes 1 dice of bashing
[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the next interval you roll again
[13:49] <Brazen_Sand> or not
[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's how the poison rules work
[13:49] <~Anshu> ... and if no interval is given?
[13:49] <Brazen_Sand> I mean he just became unconscious
[13:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it's errata'd to one action, I believe
[13:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So we'd have a small window of opportunity to ask questions with the poison penalties applying to his MDV
[13:50] <~Anshu> ok
[13:50] <~Anshu> then he's still conscious
[13:50] <~Anshu> my bad
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> It was a trick!
[13:52] <~Anshu> *shakes head* They really need to put out a revised 2e
[13:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah.
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> Mm, if only
[13:53] <Inkwell> Maybe the Lunar errata will touch on poisons.
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> I'd hope so
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> Anyway, now's our chance
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> attempting a social surprise attack
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> full excellency
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 22
[13:54] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 9 successes against TN 7: [8, 10, 8, 5, 2, 9, 3, 3, 1, 2, 7, 6, 5, 7, 3, 9, 8, 2, 1, 4, 1, 4]
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (he gets to roll per+soc against that IIRC)
[13:55] <~Anshu> .ex 22
[13:55] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 8 successes against TN 7: [10, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3, 3, 10, 1, 6, 3, 3, 5, 4, 3, 1, 8, 1, 9, 9, 7, 3]
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> So close
[13:55] <~Anshu> oh wait. Forgot the wound penalties again.
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> then a flurry of three attacks, all supplemented by Dialogue-Commanding Speech. The first is unexpected since he didn't roll high enough.
[13:55] <~Anshu> Oh well.
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> channeling Conviction. Nomoe is out of patience.
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> He wants results NOW.
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .exf 19 18 17
[13:56] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled [12, 11, 8] successes against TN7
[13:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 17, 16 and 13 successes. Plus -2 for wound penalties, minus something for the poison, and probably -3 for Nomoe's Appearance 10
[13:57] <Brazen_Sand> Wow, you just straight-up mindraped the guy
[13:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yup.
[13:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, trying :p
[13:58] <~Anshu> yeah, that's a very nice set of rolls
[13:58] <~Anshu> particularly now that he's been poisoned.
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> ...you better not PD it
[14:00] <~Anshu> >.>
[14:00] <~Anshu> <.<
[14:00] <Inkwell> Now that I look at it, combining Adorjan's basic combat and rushing-around suite with Ascendant Objectivity Stance could be devastatingly effective.
[14:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Anyway, I spent 18m, 1wp, and now I don't have much of anything left.
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> I 3-die it
[14:00] <Inkwell> As long as Nomoe's remark digs in just a little, bit, anyway, I can push farther with context expansion.
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> It's quite clever
[14:01] <Inkwell> I'll second the three-die.
[14:01] <Brazen_Sand> ...oh fuck you >: (
[14:01] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, Scarlet Wind?
[14:01] <Inkwell> Scarlet Rapture Shintai!
[14:01] <Inkwell> It seems like a reasonable nickname.
[14:02] <Inkwell> Anyway, it's time to tell Starbuck to go home.
[14:02] <~Anshu> perfecting all three with Broken Silence Laughter Defense.
[14:02] <Inkwell> We need to use the Roslin solution.
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> I don't think so. Adorjan doesn't change colour
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Roslin?
[14:02] <~Anshu> (also, his name is Sanskrit for "Red Wind," because I am unoriginal)
[14:02] <Bright_Snow> BSG
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Interesting
[14:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> can he perfect the first?
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Don't watch BSG
[14:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> does he have a social anti-surprise charm=
[14:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ?
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[14:02] <Inkwell> Adama wanted Starbuck to interview the captured Cylon because she was too dumb to fall for his mind games.
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Also, he actually said something
[14:02] <~Anshu> point.
[14:02] <Inkwell> This turned out to be wrong.
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> BLD is just supposed to be creepy laughter
[14:03] <Inkwell> So ultimately the President got her way.
[14:03] <Bright_Snow> Which was to airlock him
[14:03] <Inkwell> Namely: shoot the creepy son of a toaster out the airlock.
[14:03] <~Anshu> I'm stunting it :P But point on the unexpected thing.
[14:03] <Inkwell> They didn't call her Madam Airlock for nothing.
[14:03] <~Anshu> so which was the first attack in the flurry?
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell, Contextually Expand it
[14:04] <Inkwell> There's nothing to expand. He didn't say anything we want him to explain.
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> Sorry, didn't mean to give orders
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> "What do yuo use instead of Pride?"
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In any case his comment is right on the mark because that sort of thinking is entirely alien to Nomoe.
[14:04] <Inkwell> I already know the answer to that.
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> What has SHE given him instead?
[14:04] <Inkwell> He needs to say something like "Even if you knew the mistress's plan, it's too late to stop it."
[14:05] <Inkwell> Lack of free will. I know from personal experience.
[14:05] <Brazen_Sand> Grrr, can anyone read his Intimacies?
[14:05] * Inkwell has seen someone made into an akuma before. Sometimes he still dreams about it.
[14:05] <Brazen_Sand> was the Akuma a lake of fish?
[14:05] * Inkwell prefers the lake of soup dreams by a wide margin.
[14:05] <~Anshu> the first attack was the pride one?
[14:05] <Inkwell> Oh, gods, if only.
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> all three were
[14:06] <~Anshu> okay.
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> like flurrying three attacks of the same sort, not different but more
[14:06] <~Anshu> what was the goal?
[14:06] <Inkwell> As mentioned, Inkwell considers personal agency sacred, which is one reason he's not okay with imprisoning the Yozis forever.
[14:06] <~Anshu> making him prove he's not just a tool, ok
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> compulsion to truthfully reveal his plans
[14:07] <~Anshu> *nod*
[14:07] <Inkwell> I have a good speech saved up on this if someone wants to have a dialogue later.
[14:07] <Inkwell> The thing is, akuma *are* just tools, so attacking their pride isn't going to work.
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> Not true
[14:07] <Bright_Snow> *nods*
[14:07] <Inkwell> The creature literally can't disobey its Urge.
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> Besides their Urge, they're mostly still people
[14:07] <Inkwell> You need to try and *trick* it.
[14:07] <~Anshu> how much WP would it cost to resist that way?
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> So get it to talk about things outside their Urge
[14:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 5wp
[14:08] <~Anshu> okay, I'll do that.
[14:08] <Inkwell> If its Urge is "sow chaos amongst the Celestial Exalted", you can't make it say helpful things without using trickery.
[14:08] <Inkwell> Hey, wait. What's his Urge?
[14:08] <Inkwell> Hideaki, run a scan for me, prease?
[14:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Have we interacted for long enough to use per+investigation to read motivation, intimacies, virtues, and the like, Anshu?
[14:09] <Brazen_Sand> He's got to be WP tapped by now?
[14:10] <~Anshu> yeah, you can try and scan him for it.
[14:10] <~Anshu> and not quite, Brazen
[14:12] <Inkwell> I'm going to make a social attack. I'm spending ten motes on the Malfeas Excellency and spending another WP.
[14:12] *** Bright_Snow_ has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[14:12] <Inkwell> Wait, I don't think I can spend that many.
[14:12] <Bright_Snow_> Stupid Wireless
[14:12] <~Anshu> why?
[14:12] <Inkwell> I've got Charisma 4 and Presence.... nothing.
[14:12] <~Anshu> aww
[14:12] *** Bright_Snow has quit IRC: Ping timeout
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> just 4
[14:13] *** Bright_Snow_ is now known as Bright_Snow
[14:13] <Inkwell> Can I stunt to use Performance, since part of the point is to make it clear to everyone else what I'm all about?
[14:13] <Bright_Snow> Has anything happened since Inkwell called him a traitor to everything his exaltation stood for?
[14:13] <Brazen_Sand> Maybe if you addressed everyone
[14:13] <Brazen_Sand> Not really, except for the others digging in too
[14:13] <Inkwell> In that case I'd have eight dice and could add eight more.
[14:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 4m on investigation excellency
[14:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and 1m on Mastery of Small Manners
[14:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 10
[14:14] <Inkwell> Hopefully, going around his Urge would reduce his MDV a bit more, and he might choose not to perfect to save motes for something more crucial.
[14:14] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 5 successes against TN 7: [3, 8, 6, 5, 2, 4, 3, 10, 9, 8]
[14:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's 9 sux on the investigation, or 12 if it stacks with the base that are the side-effect of MoSM
[14:15] <~Anshu> and it's opposed by Manip + Social/2, right?
[14:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, that's the static difficulty of the roll
[14:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> enhanceable by charms or course, but unrolled
[14:15] <Inkwell> Is my stunt good enough to let me roll Performance on my attack, Anshu?
[14:15] <Bright_Snow> While it's being done
[14:16] <~Anshu> I'm afraid not, Ink
[14:16] <Inkwell> Then I'll just roll eight dice.
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> 10
[14:17] <~Anshu> Nomoe: His Urge is "Assist the Immaculate Purists in bringing down the Deliberative"; he has no Intimacies.
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> Stunt dice, remember?
[14:17] <Inkwell> Right, stunt, thank you.
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> Excellent
[14:17] <Inkwell> Damn it, I'm channeling Conviction.
[14:17] <Inkwell> .ex 14 6
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> We have what we need...
[14:17] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 10 successes against TN 6: [10, 5, 2, 10, 3, 8, 3, 1, 1, 6, 8, 10, 8, 1]
[14:17] <Inkwell> Feel my burning Pyrian passion!
[14:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Anshu, virtues?
[14:17] <Bright_Snow> .ex 12 (Inv 5, Man 5, Stunt 3)
[14:17] <Pattern_Spider> you have no account
[14:17] <~Anshu> dominant virtues are Conviction and Temperance
[14:17] <Bright_Snow> .ex 12
[14:18] <Pattern_Spider> you have no account
[14:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .adduser Bright_Snow 26
[14:18] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki added the user Bright_Snow
[14:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> sorry
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> s'ok
[14:18] <Inkwell> Let's not forget my Appearance 5, so hopefully he'll choose to let something slip instead of perfecting that one away.
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> .ex 12
[14:18] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 10 successes against TN 7: [7, 6, 10, 8, 5, 5, 10, 5, 10, 9, 3, 9]
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> That is to read his motivation btw
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> Not a social attack
[14:18] <Inkwell> If Hideaki keeps up the heat so he constantly needs motes, the rest of us may be able to get in small attacks that he'll choose to let through so he can keep defending against Deliberator Nomoe.
[14:18] <~Anshu> Ink, what's the purpose of your attack?
[14:19] <Inkwell> I want him to tell me why he chose to become an akuma.
[14:19] <~Anshu> Lost, you get the same info as Nomoe did
[14:19] <Inkwell> It. It, I mean! Unperson! Unperson!
[14:20] <Brazen_Sand> OH NO INKWELL HAS BEEN INFECTED
[14:20] * Inkwell has unreliable Conviction. Darn Compassion 4!
[14:20] <Inkwell> Actually, it's Compassion 5, Conviction 5, now that I look. I had to think for a long time to decide what Inkwell's Virtues should be.
[14:21] <Inkwell> Under the new BP rules, they'd be higher. He should probably have a 5 in everything except Valor.
[14:21] <Inkwell> With buying Cosmic Transcendence Charms a serious consideration for Temperance and Conviction.
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> That means you can never lie
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> Without spending WP
[14:22] <Inkwell> I rarely do!
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> Or worse, actually
[14:22] <~Anshu> *ponders for a moment*
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> Is eating 6 Torment worth the risk?
[14:22] <Inkwell> Come to think of it, how does Inkwell's Urge apply in this situation?
[14:23] <Inkwell> I don't suppose I have any particular duty as ambassador to a hired dissident.
[14:23] <~Anshu> Heh, he really is like the Joker. Tragic Love Amusement means he could conceivable have forgotten why he did it.
[14:23] <Inkwell> I rolled really good on that social attack and I forbid you to waste it.
[14:23] <Inkwell> Or I'll cry!
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> He could've just cut out the Intimacies himself
[14:24] <Inkwell> Stop encouraging the ST to be evil, Brazen Sand!
[14:24] <~Anshu> okay, okay.
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> What? He alraedy has no Intimacies
[14:24] <~Anshu> heheheheh
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> I meant with Freedom Lets Go
[14:24] <~Anshu> yeah, that one
[14:24] <~Anshu> whatever it's called :P
[14:24] <Inkwell> Shutupshutupshutup!
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> That doesn't effect memories though
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> only Intimacies
[14:24] <Inkwell> It actually does.
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> shutupshutupshutupshutup
[14:24] <Inkwell> You can erase all the memories of the Intimacy if you want to. But it's optional.
[14:24] <Inkwell> Optional, I say!
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> Anyway, let's get to the point.
[14:25] <Inkwell> Hm, well, if it doesn't work, what we need to do is turn his Urge against him.
[14:26] <Inkwell> Trick him into believing that telling us something we want to know will help bring down the Deliberative.
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Not, we need to stab his goofy ass!
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Besides, he'll be unconscious soon
[14:26] <Inkwell> Then he won't be able to resist.
[14:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I do have to learn Memory Mirror after all.
[14:26] <Bright_Snow> No he won't he dodged the poison I believe
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> No he didn't
[14:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> He'll pass out eventually
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Oh wait, he did
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Dammit
[14:26] <Inkwell> I'm sure we've got a Terrestrial somewhere with Theft of Memory.
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Well he's gotta be WP-tapped by now >_<
[14:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Anshu shouldn't forget to roll every action ;)
[14:27] <~Anshu> I shouldn't, no.
[14:27] <~Anshu> .ex 14
[14:27] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 10 successes against TN 7: [10, 1, 7, 2, 2, 2, 10, 8, 2, 7, 9, 9, 7, 3]
[14:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so no damage on that action
[14:27] <~Anshu> it's hard to keep track of, though, since we're doing this so freeform
[14:27] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[14:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah

[14:29] <Brazen_Sand> ...well that was anti-climactic
[14:29] <Brazen_Sand> Ah, I know why Virgil appeared
[14:30] <Brazen_Sand> Because in the dark forest of life, I had lost my way
[14:30] <~Anshu> it was the best I could come up with on short notice :P
[14:30] <Bright_Snow> That is a terrible reason to sell ones soul
[14:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you know, I'm this close to suppressing Conviction, eating the Limit, and ending this ´
[14:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> take that as a compliment, Anshu.
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> I'm done
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> Permission to explode this guy's brain?
[14:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no, wait
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> God dammit Inkwell stop doing that!
[14:32] <Inkwell> Inkwell is making a flurry of five Mind-Hand attacks and using Principle-Invoking Onslaught.
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> No you're not, wait a second!
[14:32] <Inkwell> Brazen Sand, you are in no position to talk!
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> I wasn't going to *kill* him
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We can either try to do this ourselves, or we can try to bring in Cerise of the Grand Circle. Either way the only way I see is killing him in such a way that he leaves a ghost.
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> A ghost without Adorjan charms.
[14:33] <Inkwell> Also, I just made up a really good stunt and I don't want to waste it.
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> He'll still be essence 7 and crazy and have SMA
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> A ghost who can be bound and made to tell the truth.
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No SMA as a ghost.
[14:33] <Inkwell> I suppose you can tackle Inkwell if you want to stop it.
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> Besides, Cerise is creepy
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and those mean jack shit if you're necromantically bound
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> Nope, they get all Martial Arts charms they previously knew
[14:33] <Inkwell> Just CMA.
[14:33] <Inkwell> They know SMA to teach but can't make it work.
[14:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> wait, is Inkwell trying to kill him?
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> Bishop?
[14:34] <~Anshu> I thought they couldn't use CMA either
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> No, Nomoe, they're going to kiss him
[14:34] <Bright_Snow> Is a Deathlord.
[14:34] <~Anshu> Deathlords are special.
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> What do you think?
[14:34] <Inkwell> Deathlord writeups notoriously bad, also, not representative of ghosts in general.
[14:34] * Inkwell is definitely intending to kill the akuma.
[14:34] <Bright_Snow> Ghosts are limited to TMA
[14:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In that case, defend other.
[14:34] <Inkwell> Underworld has an Immaculate ghost with Air Dragon Style.
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> I already disrupted it
[14:35] <Inkwell> I approve of ghosts with CMA on the grounds that angry Immaculates who are really mad about not reincarnating are cool.
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> and scary
[14:35] <~Anshu> fair enough
[14:35] <Bright_Snow> I have to admit that is cool
[14:36] <Inkwell> And Mother Transgression is a great name for a ghost.
[14:36] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe, it already stopped
[14:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> using a previously declared defend other
[14:36] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen disrupted it
[14:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Has it?
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell said I needed to tackle him to stop it, so I just shoved him away
[14:37] <Inkwell> Nobody ever lets me be tough. :|
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> DBs
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> Chains?
[14:38] <Inkwell> That didn't actually work very well.
[14:38] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, cause you left
[14:38] <Brazen_Sand> Same with 2 weeks ago
[14:38] <Brazen_Sand> If you want to be tough, you've got to stay for combat
[14:38] <Inkwell> I suppose there is a logic to that.
[14:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> sorry if that was already resovled, I'm for some reason having trouble following the events right now
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> If by logic you mean "This is the cause and effect", then yeah.
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> It is a clever plan, Dakka
[14:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so, who else follows comes outside?
[14:42] <Inkwell> I guess we all will.
[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> seems logical
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen is responding to Snow, btw
[14:43] <~Anshu> hmmm
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> Lets go see Ce-Reese Witherspoon :B
[14:45] <~Anshu> *smack*
[14:46] <Brazen_Sand> X_O
[14:49] <~Anshu> *looks in Black Treatise*
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> You can assume we're all in agreement
[14:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Two Shadowlands circle spells, one to ensure he rises as a ghost, and then Summon Ghost to bind him.
[14:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We know his name so we can do it :D
[14:50] <~Anshu> which spells are they, do you recall?
[14:50] <~Anshu> spell*
[14:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We could *attempt* to do it on our own with just basic thaumaturgy, but it would be risky - as in it might not work.
[14:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Rune of Sweet Passing and Summon Ghost, I think.
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> I think Rune of Sweet Passing sends them to Lethe, but I could be wrong

[14:53] <Brazen_Sand> Sorry bout that
[14:54] <Brazen_Sand> I suddenly got disconnected
[14:54] <Anshu> as did I.
[14:54] <Brazen_Sand> That was odd
[14:54] <Anshu> did anything happen between
[14:54] <Anshu>
[14:50] <Bright_Snow> "Irritatingly I believe you are correct. So which of us does the deed."
[14:54] <Anshu> and
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> **/What is it that irritates you? That we are resorting to calling in outside assistance, or the resorting to Necromancy?/ Something occurs to him. /You need not be here, or in this form, if you do not want to meet Deliberator Cerise./**
[14:55] <Anshu> ?
[14:56] <Brazen_Sand> I dunno
[14:57] <Brazen_Sand> But it doesn't seem to matter too much
[14:57] <Anshu> true
[14:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ??
[14:58] <Brazen_Sand> If Anshu missed anything. We both got disconnected at the saem time
[14:58] <Anshu> what are you ??ing?
[14:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> your ?
[14:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> but no, nothing happened
[14:59] <Bright_Snow> * Nomoe_Hideaki nods. "Indeed, the spells have to come first."<Brazen_Sand> "It's all Forest-Tongue to me." Brazen muttered
[14:59] <Bright_Snow> Where in between. Nothing major.
[14:59] <Bright_Snow> Were even
[15:00] <Brazen_Sand> I hope Cerise is all creepy
[15:00] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, she is the only Void Circle Necromancer around here, AND she's a Lunar
[15:02] <Anshu> she might be while casting the spells, but the way I imagine her she's not very creepy at other times.
[15:02] <Brazen_Sand> Don't you understand, that just makes her EVEN CREEPIER D:
[15:03] <Anshu> *ponders* Man, I really don't want you to be able to keep picking this guys brain :P
[15:03] <Anshu> oh well
[15:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Bright_Snow, how was Brazen proven correct? :?
[15:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heh.
[15:04] <Bright_Snow> He said the man was a hollow shell
[15:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If not for that desperate idea Nomoe would have let Inkwell do it. Or done it himself.
[15:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ah.
[15:04] <Anshu> ah well. Perhaps I'll be able to distract you :P
[15:04] <Bright_Snow> She doesn't have to call the ghost up right away
[15:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What would we do during that time, though?
[15:05] <Brazen_Sand> You're playing Exalted
[15:05] <Brazen_Sand> We SMASH railroads
[15:06] <Anshu> I know, I know
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Suddenly he grows OSoI
[15:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> But yeah, depending on how you read some fluff things, you may not be able to summon a ghost until three days after death when the hun detaches from the po and descends into the Underworld.
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Too bad the cell is mirrorless >: D
[15:06] <Anshu> ah
[15:06] <Anshu> okay, sure, we'll go with that.
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Let's go with that
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> Why is Nomoe on?
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> Musta spent a lot of motes
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> I'm prolly full-up after all the stunting
[15:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yup, spent 50-60 motes.
[15:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And still wasn't able to break that guy. :(
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> It's the Joker, man
[15:10] <Anshu> you were almost there. He was down to 10m and 3wp.
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah well
[15:11] <Brazen_Sand> Now he's gonna be a GHOST
[15:11] <Brazen_Sand> Are any of us pissed off enough to soulforge him?
[15:11] <Brazen_Sand> I'd say no, but I'd probably need 30 seconds to consider it >_>
[15:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> we'll just leave him to the creepy necromancer lady ;)
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> Don't say that around Anshu ;)
[15:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> after we are done, and Deliberative intelligence is done
[15:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe wouldn't
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> He'd probably fall to Oblivion
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> No Intimacies, not much material for Fetters
[15:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> being creepy can be worthy of respect
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> or Passions
[15:13] <Bright_Snow> GTG
[15:13] <Brazen_Sand> bye bye
[15:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if it's the sort of creepy that comes with awesome power and forbidden knowledge and stuff
[15:13] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[15:13] *** Bright_Snow has left #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[15:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I thought we were doing this somewhat privately?
[15:14] <Brazen_Sand> is Inkwell still around?
[15:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Like some conference room in the precinct?
[15:14] <Brazen_Sand> Sounds good
[15:15] <Anshu> the cell is private. But now you're standing in the hall outside it.
[15:15] <Inkwell> I am.
[15:16] <Brazen_Sand> Conference room!
[15:17] <Brazen_Sand> Good, it'd suck if it was just me and Nomoe :3
[15:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hey, ruby is there!
[15:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If quiet.
[15:17] <Brazen_Sand> She's using E-Optical Shroud
[15:18] <Brazen_Sand> btw, in case it isn't obvious, Brazen isn't all scary anymore
[15:18] <Inkwell> My anima is probably going off. Hideaki's, too.
[15:19] <Brazen_Sand> Blood-ape Leather
[15:21] <Brazen_Sand> When Malfeas sends you Blood Apes, make Blood Ape-ade
[15:21] <Brazen_Sand> by which I mean, boots out of them.
[15:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that seems like something Nomoe would have known before?
[15:26] <Brazen_Sand> ?
[15:26] <Anshu> would have known what?
[15:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that Saraban is a line of Iselsi?
[15:27] <Anshu> Nope. Because nobody knows that Saraban is an Iselsi line. That's the point.
[15:27] <Anshu> Everybody thinks Iselsi is a weak, dying house without enough members to have separate family lines.
[15:32] <Anshu> Aw, man. That wasn't nearly the bombshell I was hoping it'd be :P
[15:32] <Brazen_Sand> It's just that we've got other stuff we need to do
[15:32] <Anshu> I know, I know
[15:32] <Brazen_Sand> And Iselsi are the secret police, aren't they?
[15:32] <Inkwell> I don't think we're that invested as characters in Dynasty history. Which is probably a character flaw on our parts, since it means we're missing a bunch of Terrestrial politics.
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> Yes
[15:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe is, or will be
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, it's very interesting, don't get me wrong
[15:33] <Inkwell> It's just not something Brazen Sand or Viridian Inkwell would be paying attention to.
[15:34] <Anshu> The Iselsi were heavily involved in the All-Seeing Eye, and in the Immaculate Order before their very public fall from grace.
[15:34] <Brazen_Sand> Wasn't that just a smoke-screen for them to really really become the secret police?
[15:34] <Anshu> pretty much.
[15:34] <Brazen_Sand> And that's old history too
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> I think we'd need someone who was a Dynast themself, and deep into politics, or just someone really interested in Dynastic history
[15:35] * Nomoe_Hideaki is interested in future Dynastic history :p
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> future history?
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> That's quite an oxymoron XD
[15:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> quite
[15:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Since he is planning on elevating his own family to a similar position as the Great Houses in importance, wealth and power
[15:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (and beyond that, thereafter, of course ;) )
[15:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Is that known? At least to those with Lore 5?
[15:38] <Anshu> which part?
[15:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Iselsi being the behind the scenes secret police rather than truly fallen.
[15:39] <Anshu> no. That part was not known outside of the Scarlet Empress and House Iselsi itself.
[15:41] * Inkwell can't figure out how to spend his XP. Hurry up and come out, Infernal overflow!
[15:42] * Nomoe_Hideaki wants Bureaucracy and Socialize get the kind of treatment the Dawn abilities got :(
[15:42] <Inkwell> Mind, the XP I spent on Crafting has been wasted. I need to build some stuffs.
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> Get the crazy Crystallization charm from Hundredfold Facets
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> That one is awesome
[15:43] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, you might want to assume that these bombshells aren't going to get much more then blank stares from most of the PCs : P
[15:43] <Brazen_Sand> So there's not much point waiting for a big response
[15:43] <Inkwell> Supposedly Heuristic Logos Shintai is going to be boss when it happens.
[15:44] <Anshu> I wasn't.
[15:44] <Anshu> I was typing.
[15:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hey, Nomoe is very, very interested
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, okay
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> Well yeah, but it doesn't *mean* much to us.
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> And that's why I said *most*
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> The others are 2 Infernals and a Robot
[15:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> A Solar, an Infernal and a Robot walk into a bar ...
[15:45] <Brazen_Sand> ...and mostly have drinks and a pretty good time. It turns out.
[15:46] * Nomoe_Hideaki isn't nodding in agreement with Brazen, he's acknowledging what she's saying and showing that he is listening
[15:46] <Brazen_Sand> What's Heuristic Logos Shintai?
[15:46] <Brazen_Sand> They're doing Elloge charms?
[15:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> SRoI
[15:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> on her use of the word anathema
[15:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and I may revise Nomoe's reaction depending on the result
[15:48] <Inkwell> It's a She Who Lives in Her Name shintai Charm, which is supposedly scary.
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> Coooool!
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> I look forward to Demon Emperor Shintai
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> And stomping on people while the rest of the Circle is all like "Oh Brazen, you rascal"
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> Errr, more then I do already.
[15:49] <Anshu> Habit; normally she'd self-censor in public, but she's making an effort to be candid right now so it slipped out.
[15:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Is it a sign of genuine disrespect and hate toward Celestials?
[15:50] <Inkwell> Now I must go, there is Payment Systems reading to do.
[15:50] <Brazen_Sand> Bye bye
[15:50] <Anshu> bye
[15:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or just the word she was taught to use?
[15:50] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[15:50] <Anshu> the latter
[15:51] <Anshu> at least, more the latter than the former.
[15:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> damn
[15:51] <Anshu> ?
[15:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Limit then.
[15:51] <Anshu> oh
[15:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 4
[15:51] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7: [3, 4, 4, 6]
[15:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ok
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> *phew*
[15:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 0 Limit taken :p
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> Nice!
[15:52] *** Inkwell has quit IRC: Disintegrated: Leaving
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> I'm lucky. If i get limit I just have to go murder a bad guy
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> I personaly look forward to combo-ing Acts of Villainy sometime
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> Which would she respond better to?
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen will just say it straight out, more understandably, maybe
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> while Nomoe seems a lot more...well, polite
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> But then, Brazen knows more about the Reclamation
[15:57] <Brazen_Sand> Wow
[15:57] <Anshu> (Okay, done with her monologue :P)
[15:57] <Brazen_Sand> She's taking that bombshell very well, Anshu : P
[15:57] <Anshu> :P
[15:57] <Anshu> Man 4 + Socialize 5 + Concealing Motives 3
[15:57] <Brazen_Sand> You know, the whole "Oh yeah, that woman you've dedicated your life to? She's a traitor to Creation. Everything you know is wrong, etc."
[15:58] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, why would you type that? Now we KNOW she's concealing a motive XD
[15:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 10
[15:58] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 6 successes against TN 7: [7, 10, 9, 1, 7, 5, 2, 8, 2, 2]
[15:58] * Nomoe_Hideaki hits the difficulty
[15:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Also, Sagacious reading of Intent
[15:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And a question ... what Aspect is most common in Iselsi?
[15:59] <Anshu> eh, I was thinking of it in the sense of concealing her emotions generally, but I can see why you'd be paranoid
[15:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (the SRoI is not for paranoia)
[15:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> It's because Nomoe needs to know exactly what she means.
[16:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And what would be involved in restoring Iselsi's position?
[16:00] <Anshu> Water was most common historically; she's telling the truth about Saraban being an Iselsi line, though, and they are known to have Water, Wood, and Air Aspects.
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Could it be done? What would need to be done to accomplish it?
[16:01] <Brazen_Sand> Oh come on, you can't find that out with SRoI
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> How would NOmoe consider the chacnes of pushing something like this through the Deliberative?
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No, those are not SRoI questions
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> those are OOC questions about things my character would have a good chance to know
[16:01] <Brazen_Sand> Finally, a chance for Bureacracy charms! : D
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> since they are central to his abilities and intentions
[16:02] <Anshu> She's saddened by the revelations about the Empress, but less surprised than she expected to be, which also saddens her, but also determined to follow the path she's set out on.
[16:02] <Anshu> what's the SRoI question?
[16:03] <Brazen_Sand> Okay
[16:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what are her intentions in making this offer?
[16:03] <Brazen_Sand> and Brazen notices this, I guess?
[16:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the other questions are general setting and things-I-would-know-with-Lore-or-Bureaucracy questions
[16:04] <Anshu> She wants to restore House Iselsi to its former position as a Great House of the Realm, and she sees this as the best way to do it.
[16:05] <Brazen_Sand> She does know that the Realm doesn't really exist as teh same entity anymore, right?
[16:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[00:00:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And what would be involved in restoring Iselsi's position?
[00:01:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Could it be done? What would need to be done to accomplish it?
[00:01:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> How would NOmoe consider the chacnes of pushing something like this through the Deliberative?
[16:07] <Anshu> as for the other questions: It can be done; doing it would require the passage of a law decreeing it; and it could be passed fairly easily assuming it was proposed correctly.
[16:07] <Brazen_Sand> Uhhh, she's not working with the Realm anymore though.
[16:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What would be the practical consequences?
[16:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> For House Iselsi
[16:07] <Brazen_Sand> I think that should be a roll
[16:07] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, nvm
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They don't have any claim to things on the Blessed Isle anymore.
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Those things were distributed to other families long ago.
[16:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They can become an equal in name, but that in itself isn't worth much if they don't have the resources to hang on to it and make it count.
[16:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What is the actual meaning of being a Great House of the Realm in the current age anyway?
[16:10] <Brazen_Sand> slow down, man.
[16:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What is the Realm in this age?
[16:10] <Brazen_Sand> You just asked like 8 questions
[16:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> When the Deliberative rules Creation ...
[16:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, sorry
[16:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What's this about binding the other Houses at the Deliberative's founding?
[16:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmhh
[16:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if the other characters aren't that interested, Nomoe would be very happy to discuss this alone ;)
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> I wanna be involved : O
[16:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and OOC as well, since I anticipate this will be very much the Nomoe Hideaki show what with him being deeply invested and the others not so much
[16:13] <Brazen_Sand> I just wanna see what happens
[16:13] <Anshu> I've been envisioning the current political structure as vaguely federal, with the Realm being the central subunit under the most direct control of the Deliberative, and the satrapies being more or less locally governed with a degree of Deliberative oversight.
[16:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So what does being a Great House mean in that system?
[16:14] <Brazen_Sand> I hope we purged Cynis >_>
[16:14] <Brazen_Sand> Oh wait, Solitary Talon. not much chance of that -_-
[16:15] <Anshu> and the Great Houses (via their heads) were bound by Eclipse Oath not to rebel against the new Deliberative
[16:16] <Brazen_Sand> The Heads have Dynasty Charms that would prolly help with enforcing that
[16:17] <Anshu> mhm. The Great Houses still have most of their perks regarding protected near-monopolies on certain kinds of trade and the running of certain tributaries and satrapies. They're mainly just subject to a greater degree of oversight now, to cut down on corruption.
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> Can I go bug Solitary Talon btw
[16:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So they are basically mega-corporations?
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> It'll be totally meta-gamy
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> so Brazen will be in her palace and she'll be like "What are you doing here?!"
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> And Brazen will be like "I...don't know."
[16:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Judge's Ear Technique active, bt
[16:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *btw
[16:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[00:07:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What would be the practical consequences?
[00:07:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> For House Iselsi
[00:08:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They don't have any claim to things on the Blessed Isle anymore.
[00:08:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Those things were distributed to other families long ago.
[00:09:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They can become an equal in name, but that in itself isn't
[16:20] <Anshu> ideally what Veata wants is for at least some of Iselsi's pre-fall holdings and resources to be restored. And yes. They are aristocratic mega-corporations.
[16:20] <Anshu> haven't they always been, more or less? :P
[16:20] <Brazen_Sand> But they aren't as bad as they usually are
[16:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Also, I'm sorry for slowing things down, everyone, but ... well, this is a seriously big thing
[16:21] <Brazen_Sand> cause the Deliberative is mostly made up of good guys who will slap them down if they start getting evil
[16:21] <Brazen_Sand> Maybe Crow has cleaned House a couple times...literally >: )
[16:21] <Anshu> It looks like it's time *sunglasses* to start Cleaning House /yeaaaaaaaaah
[16:22] <Anshu> and she's telling the truth as she knows it.
[16:22] <Brazen_Sand> Is that a yes, then, Taurus?
[16:23] <Anshu> it might be. I just could resist the meme opportunity
[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> Holy shit, is the game ending that quickly?
[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, if we just beat up the Empress, that's it, isn't it? D:
[16:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what, you think a lowly DB Akuma could be an end boss? :p
[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> Have you read RotSE?
[16:23] <Brazen_Sand> Bitch be nasty
[16:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> will she answer NOmoe's first question?
[16:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Before the one about the value of her info?
[16:24] <Anshu> oh right
[16:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No I haven't
[16:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> For precisely situations like this I haven't
[16:28] <Anshu> also true
[16:40] <Brazen_Sand> mmm
[16:40] <Brazen_Sand> cold crazy bread
[16:40] <Brazen_Sand> really is crazy
[16:40] <Anshu> ok
[16:42] <Anshu> *prods the non-Dakka players*
[16:42] <Anshu> Sorry for how long this has gone on
[16:43] <Brazen_Sand> No prob
[16:43] <Brazen_Sand> just not much I can say
[16:43] <Anshu> in fact, I'm thinking we might want to call the session soonish
[16:43] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[16:43] <Brazen_Sand> But let's get this deal closed first.
[16:43] <Brazen_Sand> Then next week, we can do Ce-Reese Witherspoon *hides quickly*
[16:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I have no idea what to add? Oo
[16:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I was thinking, if you agree me and Anshu can do the negotiation after the session
[16:43] <Anshu> raaaage :P
[16:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> or some other time
[16:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> None... zero... Zilch.
[16:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> just say "yes, Nomoe, take care of it" ;)
[16:44] <Anshu> her name is Cerise of the Rose's Thorn >.>
[16:44] <Brazen_Sand> I know
[16:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *Deliberator* Cerise of the Rose's Thorn
[16:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[16:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I forgot the title a few times, I'll have to edit them in in post-production
[16:44] <Anshu> heh
[16:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe doesn't forget things like that
[16:45] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, I can't do much in these negotiations. I imagine her going like "Oh hey other House Iselsi people, this GSP from Gem said the agreement was valid so we're good to go."
[16:45] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, wouldn't work.
[16:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Basically Nomoe is angling for a license to get the first try of convincing Veata.
[16:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If he can't do it alone, he can bring everyone else in. But, as he says, this is the sort of thing he is meant to do, the ability he brings to the group.
[16:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So, let him do his thing. *talking totally unselfishly*
[16:47] <Brazen_Sand> Okay okay, jeez
[16:47] <Brazen_Sand> I'm not complaining
[16:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hey, that's me outlining his IC reasoning, not me arguing OOC
[16:49] <Brazen_Sand> It's fine, man, don't get worried
[16:49] <Brazen_Sand> Ruby and Brazen are playing folded-paper football in the background at the desk
[16:50] <Anshu> I think Dakk wants some IC sign that Brazen and Ruby don't mind him going ahead
[16:50] <Brazen_Sand> Ah, well, Brazen doesn't know that
[16:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe would prefer them doing something important that required them to be absent, but he wouldn't be so impolite as to say it.
[16:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah
[16:50] <Brazen_Sand> It's really not his business
[16:50] <Brazen_Sand> Ahhhh
[16:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> He *asked*
[16:50] <Brazen_Sand> I'm sorry, I didn't notice that
[16:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> np
[16:51] <Brazen_Sand> Ooooooh, now I get it
[16:53] <Brazen_Sand> There you go ; )
[16:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ...
[16:54] <Anshu> okay
[16:54] <Brazen_Sand> What?
[16:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Perhaps not the most subtle things I got XD
[16:54] <Brazen_Sand> XD it's good, it works
[16:55] <Anshu> let's leave it here for now.
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> Have fun with the negotiations, Dakka!
[16:55] <Anshu> 8 xp all around
[16:55] <Anshu> +1 for me =D
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> thanks
[16:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> :)
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> Yup!
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> *buys custom charm*
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> HAHAHA SUPER SAIYAN TIME
[16:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what charm?
[16:56] <Anshu> ... and oh yes
[16:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> oh, the burning wrath thingy?
[16:56] <Anshu> Nomoe got a 3-die as well, as I recall
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> I made some alterations
[16:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah
[16:56] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Okay Sooooo I shall ask. Dare I get Socially and Interrogationy charms?
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, for the Pride one
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> That would be really useful
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> Ruby
[16:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That would give Ruby something to do when interrogations come up.
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> And you're going to the Complex anyway, so it all works
[16:56] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Yes. see all part of the plan XD
[16:56] <Anshu> Yeah, it would be
[16:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And save me the quite extensive cost of getting Memory Mirror for 20 XP
[16:57] <Brazen_Sand> And it would basically decrease interrogation times to like, 2 minutes
[16:57] <Brazen_Sand> Since it happens in subjective time, I believe.
[16:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Which is a supremely useful Charm, but really, I have so many other things I need ... ;)
[16:57] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, and we've got to deal with Cerise next week too
[16:57] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> kk. Then I shall research. The Personality Override Spike is one, but not one that I desire right at the moment. But it might be the best one for the job.
[16:57] <Brazen_Sand> It doesn't necessarily tear out memories
[16:57] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, or what about that charm that injects drugs?
[16:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Which one is that one?
[16:58] <Brazen_Sand> Checking now
[16:59] <Brazen_Sand> Multifunction Hypodermic Apparatus
[16:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I got my Attack Charms where I currently want them So I suppose Social/Interro charms are a good fit.
[16:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> pg?
[16:59] <Brazen_Sand> 168
[16:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> tyvm [16:59] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, woudl you be okay with a custom medicine that would basically work like "truth serum" irl?
[17:00] <Brazen_Sand> Probably would impose DV penalties
[17:00] <Brazen_Sand> I mean MDV penalties
[17:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> or simply require wp spent for every lie told to a maximum of x
[17:01] <Brazen_Sand> I dunno, Potassium chloride is about decreasing inhibitions and will
[17:01] <Brazen_Sand> So it's not so much that they can't lie, as that they just care less abotu doing so cause they're so out of it.
[17:02] <Brazen_Sand> What if it increased the WP that has to be spent to resist social attacks?
[17:02] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Tsk shy a point of Manipulation. Oo
[17:02] <Anshu> we'll need to work out the exact details mechanically but that works conceptually
[17:02] <Brazen_Sand> Multifunction Hypodermic Apparatus works on Intelligence
[17:02] <Anshu> instead of increasing WP costs
[17:03] <Anshu> it could decrease your available WP pool
[17:03] <Brazen_Sand> Yeeeeah, that could work too
[17:03] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> But doesn't help Interrorgations. (though I shall reread the subs.)
[17:03] <Brazen_Sand> Yes it could
[17:03] <Brazen_Sand> You can make your own "medicines"
[17:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that would reduce the wp available for resisting as well as lower the MDV as well as reduce the amount it can be increased with charms
[17:04] <Brazen_Sand> So just make a medicine that decreases inhibitions, and thus makes them more pliable to questioning
[17:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> temporarily reducing permanent WP seems like a good model
[17:04] <Brazen_Sand> It specifically states that STs should encourage players to design their own
[17:04] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ah
[17:04] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I see
