[11:35] <Brazen_Sand> I thought you Germans were efficient : P
[11:35] <dakkareth> As a human my multitasking capabilities are limited. And even for a human I personally am not too good at that.

[11:38] <Noldarr> whoa

[11:38] <@Taurus_II> uh... yeah we want you in both rooms at once >.>
[11:38] <Noldarr> lemme open up chatzilla, since this thing is not letting me be in multiple rooms
[11:38] *** Noldarr has quit IRC: Disintegrated: Leaving
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> Oh no, Noldarr disintegrated
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> Geez, this is the Tomb of Horrors of chatrooms
[11:39] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> heh XD
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> Taurus, are you going all Gygaxian on us?
[11:39] <@Taurus_II> probably not
[11:40] <Inkwell> So, tell us about yourself, ruby robot!
[11:40] <dakkareth> whats so horrible about the chatroom?
[11:40] <Brazen_Sand> It disintegrated Noldarr! ;_;
[11:40] <Lady_Daethia> D: who let the beholder run rampat again?
[11:40] <dakkareth> heh
[11:41] <Brazen_Sand> He forgot that the mouth-hole was actually an Orb of Annihilation
[11:41] *** Hattori has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[11:41] *** Hattori is now known as Noldarr
[11:41] <dakkareth> standard disconnect message around here
[11:41] <@Taurus_II> okay
[11:41] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Wha. No robot here. Just a simple poor mortal represenative of one of the 8 happy Nations of Autochthonia. Can't let our other Champion running about unsupervised. (Cept... he's not here... Oo)
[11:42] <Noldarr> did I miss anything
[11:42] <@Taurus_II> Hattori, what was that you asked about the Deliberative stuff? I looked over your sheet and couldn't find what you were talking about
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> OMG Who sprung for True Resurrection!?
[11:42] <@Taurus_II> (and no, not much)
[11:42] * @Taurus_II shushes Brazen
[11:42] <Noldarr> ah, it's under backgrounds
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> :X
[11:42] <@Taurus_II> oh that
[11:42] <Noldarr> he has backing (General of the Deliberative) 4
[11:42] <@Taurus_II> yeah, 's fine
[11:42] <Noldarr> cool
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> Okay, one who is mysteriously resistant to NMI and UMI, right? : )
[11:43] <@Taurus_II> if it turns out to be a problem he can always get demoted :P
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> mortal, I mean
[11:44] <Noldarr> most of his 'soldiering' consists of running around and taking positions by himself. it's very cost-effective.
[11:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> :p
[11:44] <Inkwell> Well, your Charms don't generally tell you if someone resists or not, so she can just pretend.
[11:45] <Brazen_Sand> I suppose, but 99/100 if you UMI a mortal, they'll do as you say
[11:45] <Noldarr> most npcs don't spend willpower unless they have a really good reason
[11:45] <Inkwell> My point is, if she acts like she's been UMI'd, you won't necessarily know the Charm didn't work.
[11:45] <Inkwell> So guessing that she isn't what she seems is harder than just spraying around AoE.
[11:45] <Noldarr> unless you have one of those essence sight charms
[11:46] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Eep. Not those perverted essence sight charms :p
[11:46] <Noldarr> perverted?
[11:46] <Brazen_Sand> *sigh* I'm sad that Scott Pilgrim flopped in the theatre
[11:46] <Inkwell> Do those let you analyze whether someone is under UMI? I dunno. Mind you, unless she has some high-grade disguise upgrades, they'll probably identify her as an Exalt if you look hard.
[11:46] <@Taurus_II> anyway
[11:46] <Noldarr> they'll see active charms on the person
[11:46] <@Taurus_II> we'll just say nobody's looked at her hard enough yet
[11:46] <Inkwell> UMI generally isn't active unless you've committed Essence, though.
[11:46] <Noldarr> who is her?
[11:46] <dakkareth> Nomoe Hideaki is known to effectively rule the dominion of Sanken, one of the largest semi-stable Wyld islands in the East. With the Deliberative's aid he actually managed to move it through the wyld, closer to stable creation. He's reluctantly a politician, aligned mostly with the Hierarchist party.
[11:47] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Her would be me
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> Okay
[11:47] <Noldarr> we don't know you're exalted?
[11:47] <@Taurus_II> Indeed.
[11:47] <dakkareth> AESS would pick it out, though. Right?
[11:47] <@Taurus_II> She is, to appearances, a mortal ambassador from one of the 8 Nations
[11:47] <dakkareth> Or a hearthstone providing the same effect.
[11:47] <Inkwell> She's a mysterious Adamant Caste Exalt, by which I mean she's just some mortal chick.
[11:47] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Essence sight will cut through my IAT quite easily
[11:48] <Noldarr> lidless demon eye is such a great mutation
[11:48] <@Taurus_II> we should probably decide which of the 8 Nations, actually :P
[11:48] <Noldarr> you can be like sauron
[11:48] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> *sigh* If only I had like 10xp XD
[11:48] <Brazen_Sand> I've got that
[11:48] <Noldarr> isn't it great?
[11:48] <Brazen_Sand> When I go Balrog on people
[11:48] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ooh. Good point.
[11:49] <Noldarr> what's your apotheosis form look like
[11:49] <@Taurus_II> oh... and Raksi needs to tell us about her character as well
[11:49] <Noldarr> all i remember is that it had lots of scorpion tails
[11:49] <@Taurus_II> since I don't think she has yet
[11:49] <Brazen_Sand> It had one
[11:49] <Lady_Daethia> sorry was eating xD
[11:49] <Brazen_Sand> He looks like a...well, Balrog
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> except he uses a Dire Lance
[11:50] <dakkareth> Nomoe Hideaki is also known to be somewhat arrogant, or at least that's an impression some people get. He likes sending beautifully calligraphed missives if a situation doesn't require his personal presence.
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> and he can shoot out blasts of vitriol from his FANGED MAW >: O
[11:50] <Noldarr> so like
[11:50] <Noldarr> a balrog
[11:50] <Noldarr> only with green fire
[11:50] <Noldarr> and acid
[11:50] <Noldarr> instead of shadow and flame
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> and a scorpion tail
[11:50] <Noldarr> kay
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> yeah, I didn't intend for him to look like that
[11:50] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> for the sake of it... since I can't remember the other nations. I'll be Representing Estaria. (I think that was one of the 8)
[11:50] <Brazen_Sand> but when I was done and looked at all the mutations I was like "oh, he's a Balrog"
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> Oh yeah, and he has 3 glowing eyes
[11:51] <Noldarr> well, my character
[11:51] <Noldarr> has a magical unicorn
[11:51] <Noldarr> =p
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> I've got a magical AGATAE
[11:51] <@Taurus_II> a magical robot unicorn
[11:51] <@Taurus_II> >.<
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> who is like double the size of a normal one
[11:51] <Inkwell> Estasia.
[11:51] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ya that one ^^
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> Triple, even
[11:51] <@Taurus_II> ok
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> and can...like...teleport
[11:51] <Noldarr> ^_^
[11:51] <Noldarr> Anyway
[11:52] <Noldarr> is the last player
[11:52] <Noldarr> just not coming
[11:52] <@Taurus_II> I'm ready to start as soon as Raksi tells us about her character
[11:52] <@Taurus_II> and I think so
[11:52] <@Taurus_II> he hasn't been online in about 3 days
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> Zarthrax? He had to bow out
[11:53] <@Taurus_II> no, not him
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> Should we put our pictures up here so everyone has a reference?
[11:53] <@Taurus_II> a guy from GitP
[11:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Golentan, our other Alchie has been MIA for a few days
[11:53] <Lady_Daethia> Ill have a more detailed BG typed up within a few days but she exalted with fragmented memories pulling her into the wyld where she liberated her artifacts from the old tomb of Ai its defenses weakened from exposure to the magics surrounding it. Before returning to the deliberative.
[11:53] <@Taurus_II> if you want, sure
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> like the links
[11:53] * @Taurus_II nods

[11:53] <@Taurus_II> what did she do to Exalt? what is she known for?
[11:54] <Inkwell> Hm, I don't know that I have my picture anymore... let me see.

[11:57] <@Taurus_II> and then we'll start
[11:57] <dakkareth> so, we only know general stuff about each other?
[11:57] <@Taurus_II> oh

[11:58] <Noldarr> is everyone actually here
[11:58] <Noldarr> on their computers
[11:58] <Noldarr> looking at the screen right now
[11:58] <Brazen_Sand> I think it's more interesting if we make connections through RPing
[11:58] <Inkwell> I am present.
[11:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Nope.
[11:58] <@Taurus_II> here
[11:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I'm not.
[11:58] *** dakkareth is now known as Nomoe_Hideaki
[11:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> XD

[11:59] <Noldarr> ...are you an ai, then? =O
[11:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> SPR! Sweet. I've a short form name. Hadn't thought of that.

[11:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Well. Or just leave out the lady Part for now
[12:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> She is ... DEATH!
[12:00] <Noldarr> you should consider joining the abyssals
[12:00] *** Raksi has quit IRC: Connection reset by peer
[12:00] <@Taurus_II> >.<
[12:00] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> It seems we are fraught with connection issues. >>
[12:01] <Noldarr> it is the Great Curse of Exalted
[12:01] <Inkwell> Quickly! Start slaying the enemies of Creation before anyone else vanishes!
[12:01] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Yay the lady just joined the IC channel ^^
[12:01] *** Lady_Daethia has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[12:02] <Lady_Daethia> windows 7 seems to dislike irc
[12:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Better yet, kill this 'peer' guy who seems to be disappearing them
[12:02] <Brazen_Sand> Haha, success!
[12:02] <Brazen_Sand> Really? It's okay with me
[12:02] <Lady_Daethia> when i minimize it dissapears of taskbar but stays in taskmanager
[12:02] <Brazen_Sand> yeah, it did that to me too
[12:02] <Inkwell> Are you sure it isn't using the quick launch icon on the bottom right?
[12:02] <Lady_Daethia> just gunna avoid minimiing
[12:02] <Inkwell> XChat does that.
[12:03] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> A good idea ^^
[12:04] <Inkwell> All right, let's begin, then.
[12:06] <Noldarr> lol
[12:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmh, since we're meeting for the first time, a round of descriptions?
[12:13] <@Taurus_II> or image links, at least. It seems appropriate
[12:13] <Inkwell> I'm a thin young man in a brass-and-green-tinged robe with curly blond hair and slightly unnatural green eyes: (Link: http://www.tektek.org/avatar/39140508)http://www.tektek.org/avatar/39140508
[12:13] <Lady_Daethia> oh yeah i was doing that before irc flaked on me
[12:14] <@Taurus_II> is Nomoe the family name?
[12:14] <Brazen_Sand> A dark-haired, dark-skinned man in his mid-30s with vitriol-tainted armour and lance
[12:14] <Brazen_Sand> and cold hard eyes
[12:14] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Taurus, yes
[12:14] <Noldarr> I have sharply defined features common to nobility and am wearing rather heavy-looking armor
[12:14] <Noldarr> There's a scabbard strapped to my waist and the seal of the deliberative fixes my traveling cloak
[12:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Hideaki insists on being adressed by one of his titles, or his family name plus honorifics, unless it's someone he is friends with
[12:15] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I'll just hand over the image link. XD (Link: http://emeraldcreativity.pbworks.com/f/sr2.jpg)http://emeraldcreativity.pbworks.com/f/sr2.jpg
[12:15] <Lady_Daethia> yeah the image link alot easier (Link: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8005/milliafalcoon.jpg)http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/8005/milliafalcoon.jpg
[12:15] <@Taurus_II> plus honorifics?
[12:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I'll c&p the wiki description if that's ok
[12:15] <Inkwell> Which name is the family name?
[12:16] <@Taurus_II> Nomoe is the family name
[12:16] <Inkwell> Are we conversing in Old Realm?
[12:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I imagine Old/High realm will have honorifics of some sort, similar to Japanese
[12:16] <Inkwell> That seems to be the lingua franca of Solars, Infernals, and Alchemicals.
[12:16] <@Taurus_II> is everybody fluent in Old Realm? :P
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> I'm fluent in the Malfean dialect, will that be close enough?
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> If not, I can use Firetongue
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Will anyone here be very annoyed if I or others misuse Japanese honorifics as a shorthand for their old realm equivalents? :o
[12:17] <Lady_Daethia> yessum
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> Nah, I'll be okay
[12:17] <Inkwell> Yeah, that's just a dialect, which has no mechanical effect.
[12:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I won't mind at all
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Hideaki is a man in his late twenties of aristocratic bearing, uncommonly handsome but often seeming cold or distant. He is of slight build with the fair complexion and almond eyes common to the region around Sanken. The color of his eyes is a gray reminiscent of a cold winter sky or, on the rare occasion that he lets his anger show, gathering storm clouds.
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> His long, black hair he keeps out of his face and back with intricate silver jewelry. Though his apparel can vary from one hour to the next he generally prefers loose clothes in tones of blue or violet so dark as to appear almost black, over which he wears a white haori with the Mon of the Nomoe family. At his side he carries a beautifully made sword of the highest craftsmanship.
[12:17] <Inkwell> (Inkwell speaks all the major languages.
[12:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> and I do have Oldrealm
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (Link: http://wiki.rpg.net/images/9/9c/Nomoe_Hideaki.png)http://wiki.rpg.net/images/9/9c/Nomoe_Hideaki.png
[12:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> er know...
[12:19] <Noldarr> he has two mates?
[12:19] <@Taurus_II> yes
[12:19] <Inkwell> Silver and Gold Span the Heavens!
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> More like Lunar weirdness.
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And Fate shenanigans.
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen, OOC in the ooc channel
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and it's the /me does something command
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "/me does something"
[12:20] * Nomoe_Hideaki does something
[12:20] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> yes /me ^^
[12:21] <Brazen_Sand> cool
[12:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Antarah is the family name for Ziyad, right?
[12:21] <Brazen_Sand> oops sorry, should've been in OOC
[12:22] <@Taurus_II> yes
[12:24] <Noldarr> you do /me
[12:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> brazen, without the "
[12:24] *** Taurus_II is now known as Servant
[12:24] <Noldarr> not /<My name>
[12:25] <Brazen_Sand> d'oh!
[12:26] <@Servant> Myll, what name is SPR going by?
[12:26] <Brazen_Sand> btw, when Brazen is rude, I'm not trying to be a dick. Just fyi ; )
[12:27] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Astaria Izil
[12:27] <Noldarr> hm
[12:28] <Noldarr> we should find something to do while taurus is typing the longposts
[12:28] <Noldarr> it feels kind of schoolroomish to talk while we're technically in a conversation already, though...
[12:29] *** Servant is now known as Taurus_II
[12:29] <Brazen_Sand> Ouch, that masquerade didn't last long
[12:30] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ^^
[12:30] <@Taurus_II> we worked it out ahead of time.
[12:31] <@Taurus_II> well, we can tell Brazen is a Slayer :P
[12:32] <Inkwell> I can use Conceptual Context Expansion to force the truth out of her!
[12:32] <Inkwell> ...but she has to say something first.
[12:32] <Noldarr> gogogo!
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> right, good idea
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Judge's Ear Technique
[12:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Please everyone give a small indication behind your word (truth/lie/evasion)
[12:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And applying that to SPR's words in particular :)
[12:33] <Inkwell> .ex 10
[12:33] <dakbot> Inkwell rolled 6 successes against TN 7: [9, 7, 2, 10, 8, 1, 5, 3, 3, 8]
[12:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What does Conceptual Context Expansion look like under Essence sight
[12:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> could it be mistaken for an attack?
[12:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if someone has only occult 1?
[12:34] <Inkwell> Dangit, that's not enough. It fails anyway.
[12:34] <Inkwell> Stupid MDVs!
[12:34] <Noldarr> .ex 46
[12:34] <dakbot> Noldarr rolled 29 successes against TN 7: [6, 8, 8, 7, 4, 4, 7, 7, 1, 8, 4, 9, 10, 4, 10, 9, 5, 7, 7, 5, 6, 4, 3, 5, 4, 5, 9, 3, 2, 6, 9, 3, 1, 1, 8, 4, 8, 10, 10, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 6, 7]
[12:34] <Noldarr> hm, okay.
[12:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> umm. Sorry if that's annoying, but could you tell me when someone is lying?
[12:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> since I do have the charm for that activated ...
[12:35] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, that was the truth, btw
[12:35] <Noldarr> just assume everything i say is the truth
[12:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ok
[12:36] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen Sand doesn't lie. it's beneath him
[12:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it's SPR's words that are more interesting to examine in any case
[12:37] <Noldarr> I'm sure we'll get the full explanation if we just make sure she doesn't have too much stuff to reply to
[12:40] <@Taurus_II> brb
[12:42] <Noldarr> how much do we know about autocthon?
[12:42] <Noldarr> are we even aware that there's limited trade and such?
[12:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> limited trade was mentioned in the opening words of the game, so I figure yes, we would
[12:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *of the game pitch
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen wouldn't know anythign about Autocthon, since he has Occult 0
[12:43] <Noldarr> mkay
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> but probably knows about Autocthonia
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> What with his Lore 3
[12:46] <@Taurus_II> back
[12:47] <@Taurus_II> limited trade, yes. the joint magitech research is still a secret
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, what does Launjilla see in the waiting area? What's it like?
[12:47] <@Taurus_II> you're all still there
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Launjilla left, remember?
[12:48] <Brazen_Sand> Or maybe I misinterpreted it. In that case, my mistake
[12:48] <Noldarr> I know this is supposed to be happening in like a few seconds, but maybe we should make a concession to practicality and not have it be weird to be having multiple side conversations when the important plot one is going on
[12:49] <@Taurus_II> when you said launjilla left, I assumed you meant outside the manse entired
[12:49] <@Taurus_II> entirely*
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> Sorry, no, I meant the waiting area, since I thought they were still entering the inner area. Sorry, my bad.
[12:50] <Brazen_Sand> *slight embarrassment*
[12:50] <@Taurus_II> it's ok
[12:52] *** Taurus_II is now known as Servant

[12:53] <Brazen_Sand> oh wow, sweet
[12:53] <Brazen_Sand> So along with anything else, I sense the power and aspect of her essence compared to my own
[12:54] <Brazen_Sand> Also, no one can notice the flash unless they pass a Perception + Awareness roll at Difficult 4

[12:55] <@Servant> lemme check
[12:55] *** Servant is now known as Taurus_II
[12:57] <@Taurus_II> Myll, you tell him your Essence score and aspect/
[12:57] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Aspect?
[12:57] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Essence of 5
[12:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Did I understand that correctly, SPR mortal cover identity was invited as an ambassador?
[12:57] <Noldarr> yes
[12:57] <@Taurus_II> yes.
[12:57] <Noldarr> aspect = adamant caste?
[12:58] <Brazen_Sand> what else do I see about her? I mean, it still function as a regular P+A roll as well
[12:58] <@Taurus_II> (Link: http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Character:Shadow_Ruby_Phoenix)http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Character:Shadow_Ruby_Phoenix
[12:58] <@Taurus_II> Description right there :P
[12:59] <Brazen_Sand> heh
[12:59] <@Taurus_II> I believe that she's hiding her Charms with Integrated Artifact Transmogrifier right now
[12:59] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Yes.
[13:00] <@Taurus_II> so she just looks like a beautiful woman made of Crystal...?
[13:00] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> With IAT she looks like... well what she is with IAT deactivated a Cystally woman yes XD
[13:01] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> So cutting through IAT, ya... Beautiful Crystal woman ^^
[13:04] <Noldarr> at last, plot
[13:04] <@Taurus_II> :P
[13:04] <@Taurus_II> oh
[13:04] <@Taurus_II> there have been mixed opinions I've been hearing on how involved Lunar Mates should be in this game
[13:05] <@Taurus_II> perhaps that's something that could be thrashed out here
[13:05] <Noldarr> my lunar mate...
[13:05] <Noldarr> ...well, she's terrifying, so I'd rather not encounter her at all
[13:05] <Noldarr> but if it has to happen, there's lots of fun angst to go around
[13:06] <Inkwell> I need a Lunar mate with Argent Muse Method who can improve my composition. So useful!
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> My Lunar Mate is a Chimera
[13:06] <Noldarr> wow, we have some pretty scary lunar mates
[13:06] <Lady_Daethia> I dont mind how involved they are or arnt usually more fun whne they actually played by someone so might be easier to put aside
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> Well, there is a lot more Wyld
[13:07] <@Taurus_II> I agree, Raksi
[13:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, since there are no player character Lunars probably much less so than in OMWF. It could be interesting to have some of them appear, of course, but they don't necessarily have to.
[13:07] <@Taurus_II> in the last game, the best mates were those played by other PCs
[13:07] <Brazen_Sand> Is there anything in the waiting room to pass the time?
[13:07] <Noldarr> maybe if someone dies
[13:07] <Noldarr> they can play a mate
[13:07] <Noldarr> =D
[13:07] <Noldarr> >_>
[13:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah. Which is why i'm a little sad that there are no Lunar PCs in this game, since that was fun. But that's the way the characters were made.
[13:08] <Inkwell> I presume my Lunar mate is terrifying because he has all the social skills I lack, and will probably be the wingman who convinces me to take part in many wacky hijinx.
[13:08] <Brazen_Sand> Like maybe some Highlights for Celestials?
[13:08] <Noldarr> my mate is terrifying
[13:08] <Noldarr> because she's a yandere
[13:08] <Brazen_Sand> Mine would probably try to eat Brazen Sand.
[13:09] <Noldarr> I would be happy if she only tried to eat Nold
[13:09] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen Sand has dealt with Adorjan, he can handle yandere
[13:10] <Noldarr> she's not colorful enough
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They are pretty much opposites, though
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> aren't they?
[13:10] <@Taurus_II> no, there is nothing in the antechamber, really.
[13:10] <@Taurus_II> Sorry.
[13:10] <Brazen_Sand> Then Launjilla leaves and does some flying
[13:10] <Brazen_Sand> He won't get shot down, right?
[13:11] <Noldarr> launjilla can change her gender?
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> sorry, I meant "it"
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> I'm not sure that agatae have genders
[13:11] <@Taurus_II> I'm not that cruel to shoot down your familiar.
[13:11] <Noldarr> yet.
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> What do you mean? Adorjan is totally yandere, Dakk
[13:12] <Brazen_Sand> Especially if she falls in love with you >: )
[13:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> The difference is in the desired outcome
[13:12] <Noldarr> she's not the terrifying kind of yandere, though
[13:12] <Noldarr> she'll just annihilate you
[13:12] <Noldarr> that's not so bad
[13:12] <Brazen_Sand> Hahaha, oh no, if she likes you, then she'll try to FREE you from attachment
[13:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> The yandere wants you to love her and will murder you if you don't or look in some other direction. Adorjan wants you to leave all attachments and sanity behind.
[13:13] <Noldarr> yeah, it's annihilation versus torture
[13:13] <Brazen_Sand> So she does torture you
[13:13] <Noldarr> after adjoran is through with you, though
[13:13] <Noldarr> there is no you left
[13:13] <Brazen_Sand> cause she tries to kill everything that's weighing you down
[13:13] <Brazen_Sand> Now you're just splitting hairs
[13:13] <Noldarr> no, it's a valid distinction
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> She leaves you alive.
[13:14] <Noldarr> in the sense that a coma patient is alive
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> No, you're still conscious and stuff
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> she's just destroyed everything you love
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> That's what's creepy. She doesn't touch YOU
[13:15] <Noldarr> doesn't she core out the ideals you care about, etc
[13:15] <Noldarr> as well
[13:15] <Brazen_Sand> Eh, if you're an Exalt, then you're likely resistant to it
[13:15] <Noldarr> I imagine if you're not attached to anything, you're little better than a rock as far as mental activity goes
[13:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Depends.
[13:15] <Brazen_Sand> Oh hey, Taurus, did we eve reach a decision about Mendicant? Just curious
[13:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> One might say you're enlightened.
[13:16] <Brazen_Sand> the co-locating comment reminded me
[13:16] <Noldarr> annihilation is not universally considered a bad thing
[13:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If you're Adorjan. Or the equivalent of a Buddhist in Exalted. Though the two would mean different things, probably.
[13:16] <Noldarr> the abyssals are evil buddhists
[13:16] <Brazen_Sand> Adorjan is just a crazy Buddha
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> TEN FOOT POLES
[13:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Co-Location Posting XD
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> nice trick, hm?
[13:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heh. Nuwa will also cut you until you're better, but she's actually human, compassionate, and much, much less insane than Adorjan or the usual Abyssal. Oh, and of course she does it only if you consent to treatment.
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> Memnon?
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> how interesting
[13:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> cuts off after "side closest to "
[13:20] <@Taurus_II> oh
[13:20] <@Taurus_II> "you"
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> Why doesn't Nuwa try to do it to Adorjan?
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmh, good question.
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Because Adorjan wouldn't consent?
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Seeing nothing wrong with herself?
[13:21] <Brazen_Sand> Good point
[13:22] <@Taurus_II> I don't suppose anybody cares which of the Grand Circle are absent
[13:22] <Noldarr> no, not really
[13:22] <Nomoe_Hideaki> unless it is pertinent?
[13:22] <@Taurus_II> no, not really
[13:22] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Is Starcc Antonee present?
[13:22] <@Taurus_II> yes.
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> Unless it's important to you, then nah
[13:22] <@Taurus_II> he is.
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> I assume that Crow and Corvid aren't around
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> they rarely are.
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> He's too busy doing the Hero Rides Away thing
[13:23] <Noldarr> great charm
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> yeah, it's really cool
[13:23] <Noldarr> the reason for nold's infamy, actually
[13:23] <Noldarr> well, one of the reasons
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> infamy?
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> oh yeah man, that's right. A whole *modicum*
[13:24] <Noldarr> among the enemies of creation
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> Ahhh
[13:26] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol
[13:26] * Inkwell doesn't actually know anything about the Grand Circle.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Shouldn't he? He is the ambassador
[13:27] <@Taurus_II> (Link: http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Dawn_of_the_Third_Age/Setting/GrandCircle)http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Dawn_of_the_Third_Age/Setting/GrandCircle
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Taurus, Would you be annoyed if I asked you for a rundown of everyone's motivations in this scene (Mastery of Small Manners)? ;)
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (lower-case m motivations)
[13:28] <@Taurus_II> not at all
[13:28] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> tiny m motivations?
[13:28] <@Taurus_II> just give me a moment to figure them out :P
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In that cas!
[13:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> MAstery of Small Manners!
[13:29] <Noldarr> i'm pretty sure all our pcs are just curious
[13:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (note that those with charms to obscure their intentions will win)
[13:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> but it does go for the PCs as well
[13:29] <Noldarr> well, I'm curious
[13:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so, if you're not merely here out of curiosity, raise your hand and speak up ;)
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> I'm here to find out why they invited me
[13:30] <Inkwell> I have a job, you know! Also, I have to go and look at Science things.
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> how much do the Infernals know about the Ebon Dragon's scheme?
[13:33] <@Taurus_II> The majority of the Grand Circle is unreadable, to be honest. The ones you can read - Anshu, Nuwa, and Dhiren - want to see if the Infernals know anything about what's going on, and hope that the group, as a group, can be of use in resolving whatever the situation turns out to be.
[13:34] <Noldarr> are we running RotSE?
[13:34] <Inkwell> Yeah, //do// I know anything?
[13:34] <Noldarr> damn, knew I shoulda taken enemy-castigating solar judgement
[13:34] <@Taurus_II> *debates whether Mastery of Small Manners would trump a DB's "you can't read me" Charms*
[13:34] <@Taurus_II> RotSE is... an inspiration.
[13:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Probably not, not against Mnemon's Charms in any case.
[13:35] <Noldarr> she is rather strong
[13:35] <@Taurus_II> things will not be happening exactly as they are outlined in the book, due to the way the circumstances of the setting have changed.
[13:35] <Lady_Daethia> theres strong but theres still the whole shes merely a terrestrial >.>;
[13:36] <Inkwell> But anyway, what do I know about the Scarlet Empress, anyway?
[13:36] <@Taurus_II> we'll say Mnemon is unreadable
[13:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ok :)
[13:38] <Brazen_Sand> Soooo...what does Inkwell know?
[13:38] <@Taurus_II> I'll say that the Infernals know more or less what everybody knows IC: the Scarlet Empress did a bunch of stuff, ran the Realm, disappeared. They may suspect that she is the Ebon Dragon's bride, but neither of the two of you, at least, know for certain whether she is or not
[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen looks everyone in the eye, in case you're wondering
[13:46] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Be careful you might poke someone in the eye with such a look XD
[13:47] <Brazen_Sand> That happened once!
[13:49] <@Taurus_II> *feels overwhelmed* @_@
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> Don't worry abotu it, Taurus. most of it is just between PCs
[13:50] <@Taurus_II> true
[13:51] * Nomoe_Hideaki has Occult 1 and doesn't understand what you people are talking about :p
[13:52] <Noldarr> OOC, do we really not know what the ebon dragon's souls are? Like, there are no writeups?
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> Nope
[13:52] <Noldarr> I thought there was one for erembour
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> Well, we know abotu a couple
[13:52] <Inkwell> We know some but not all.
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> but he likely has way more then a couple, and we definitely don't know what his Fetich is
[13:53] <Noldarr> i bet it's in rotse
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> Nope
[13:53] <Inkwell> And we can't really plan a remodelling of the entire dragon without more knowledge about his entire soul structure.
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> It gives some ideas, but nothing definite
[13:53] <Noldarr> mkay
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> And for us to do that, we'd have to somehow get the ED either OUTSIDE malfeas
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> which would be very bad, likely
[13:53] <Inkwell> Believe me, Inkwell knows more about Primordials and their subsouls than any other Exalt. It's his area of special focus.
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> OR do it in Malfeas, which might be worse for us
[13:53] <Noldarr> why would we need to bring him out?
[13:53] <Noldarr> we just need to bring his souls out
[13:54] <Inkwell> To dissect him! For science!
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> Because executing his souls while Malfeas tries to murder us would be hard
[13:54] <Noldarr> and change 'em
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> note that it's not even clear whether he's the one pulling strings
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> Who? Malfeas?
[13:54] <Lady_Daethia> summon bind destroy >.>
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ED. or any yozi.
[13:54] <Noldarr> this is all theoretically
[13:54] <Noldarr> theoretical*
[13:54] <Noldarr> but the principle should work on any yozi
[13:54] <Inkwell> Inkwell wants to reformat Primordials ANYWAY, so he's willing to make the assumption that puts it on the table.
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> We'd need a ton of sorcerers for this
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> a ton of Adamant Circle sorcerers
[13:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> "Now hold still mister Shadow of All things, this operation is mostly painless. You'll not notice a thing. Quick get me Nurse Adjoran!"
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> and we'd have to do it all during Calibration
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> also, it's a boring plan. And thus for NPCs. :p
[13:55] <@Taurus_II> or get UCS to blow his horn
[13:55] <Noldarr> nah, we only need one adamant with the time is now
[13:55] <Noldarr> boring?
[13:55] <Noldarr> fighting ed would be more boring, imo
[13:55] <Noldarr> yozis can't stand up to exalts in a fight
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> fighting...ed...boring?
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> You clearly haven't read RotSE
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, it is, if it's just summon, destroy, control the replacement.
[13:56] <Noldarr> ED
[13:56] <Brazen_Sand> HELLO 1000 MOTE POOL
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If it's more involved, more varied ... *shrug*
[13:56] <Noldarr> he has no defense vs holy
[13:56] <Noldarr> well, the hard part as i understand it is
[13:56] <Noldarr> epically treking for the knowledge
[13:56] <Inkwell> Yeah, Combo an instant-death attack with some Holy and Accuracy Without Distance, and he, um, dies.
[13:56] <Noldarr> the execution itself is rather trivial in comparison
[13:56] <Brazen_Sand> But he won't reveal himself unless he can defend agaisnt that
[13:56] <Brazen_Sand> cause he's a coward
[13:56] <Noldarr> just like in modern warfare, the hardest part is information
[13:56] <Brazen_Sand> and a smart one at that
[13:56] <Inkwell> It's always easier to break things than fix them.
[13:56] <Noldarr> actually killing someone is easy
[13:57] <Inkwell> He CAN'T defend against that.
[13:57] <@Taurus_II> pause for a moment
[13:57] <Inkwell> If you use a perfect Holy attack, his perfects will fail and there's bugger all he can do. Which is why he surrendered first chance he got.
[13:57] <@Taurus_II> Who has occult/is a sorcerer/demonologist?
[13:57] <Brazen_Sand> *points at Inkwell*
[13:57] <Inkwell> I've got Occult 5 and a specialty in Primordials.
[13:58] <@Taurus_II> Roll it.
[13:58] <@Taurus_II> actually, wait
[13:58] <Noldarr> use your excellencies!
[13:58] <@Taurus_II> *debating whether specialty applies or not*
[13:58] <Noldarr> and so speaks! wait, is our roller built for that/
[13:58] <Brazen_Sand> Yozis should apply to Primordials
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> Yozi is a political distinction
[13:59] <@Taurus_II> that's true. But it doesn't necessarily mean it applies to what I'm thinking
[13:59] <@Taurus_II> :P
[13:59] <@Taurus_II> but yes, apply it
[13:59] <Inkwell> Specifically, the specialty applies to Primordials of all stripes and their devas. Inkwell is studying Primordial soul structure, how to alter it, and how to evolve into a Primordial himself.
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> Sorry, I left my ESP helmet off the charger : P
[13:59] <Inkwell> Spending four motes to buy two extra successes.
[13:59] <Inkwell> .ex 12
[13:59] <dakbot> Inkwell rolled 3 successes against TN 7: [1, 3, 3, 9, 7, 6, 9, 2, 4, 1, 1, 3]
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> >_<
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> Ouch
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> Should've made a stunt
[14:00] <Noldarr> well, that's still 5 sux
[14:00] <Inkwell> Plus five successes from Unified Tenets Integration. So ten.
[14:00] <Noldarr> it'd be 1 more if you still have so speaks active
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> What's UFI?
[14:00] <Noldarr> so 11
[14:00] <@Taurus_II> ok
[14:00] <Inkwell> It's a SWLIHN crafting Charm that gives me (Integrity) successes on rolls to remember anything.
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> Awesome
[14:05] <Noldarr> wait, so what did you remember?
[14:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Wow, that's exactly the sort of thing I'd expect from the ED.
[14:05] <Noldarr> is it the thing you're talking about IC?
[14:05] <@Taurus_II> test
[14:05] <Inkwell> Yes, this is the result of my Occult roll.
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> Dayum
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> Would we know of Fate?
[14:08] <@Taurus_II> in what sense?
[14:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what exactly?
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> Like do we know about destiny and stuff?
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> You know, beings being outside of Fate or inside Fate?
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> Not specifics, just general stuff
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> What of the Sidereals?
[14:09] <@Taurus_II> they exist. Mostly their shards haven't awakened yet.
[14:09] <Brazen_Sand> Okay
[14:09] <Noldarr> I have a siddie ally
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> So the Maidens are dealing with Fate directly?
[14:10] <@Taurus_II> yes.
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> nice of them to get off the XboX
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> *Xbox
[14:10] <@Taurus_II> until enough Siddies are back in action to take over
[14:10] <@Taurus_II> well, they do still have the pattern spiders
[14:10] <Noldarr> it's probably mercury, she takes her turns fast
[14:10] <Noldarr> faster than ucs, if I remember correctly
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> Hehe
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> Luna's prolly doing the same thing as ever
[14:11] <Lady_Daethia> theyre playing twister! how do you think the unconqured sun keeps winning O:
[14:11] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol!
[14:11] <Noldarr> wouldn't luna win twister?
[14:11] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> No fair you have 4 arms!
[14:11] <Noldarr> by like, a massive blowout?
[14:11] <Noldarr> she can have infinite tentacles
[14:11] <Lady_Daethia> lol hmm you have a point
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> It says right HAND blue
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> not right TENTACLE blue : P
[14:12] <Lady_Daethia> xD
[14:12] <Noldarr> she can form a hand-tentacle, then.
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> a hantacle?
[14:15] <Brazen_Sand> Does Inkwell know about the ability to possess souls?
[14:16] <Inkwell> Well, they possess bodies. I don't have any Charms that can undo that at the moment, although if we can tie some victims up I might be able to Medicine the demons out.
[14:16] <Inkwell> Being possessed is probably a Crippling effect.
[14:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Banishment.
[14:16] <@Taurus_II> or an exorcism
[14:16] <Brazen_Sand> I mean that the Yozis can possess souls
[14:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Should work instantly.
[14:16] <Noldarr> would my defeat equals friendship
[14:16] <Brazen_Sand> and then are free from binding
[14:16] <Noldarr> work on both the person and the demon
[14:16] <@Taurus_II> demons, you mean?
[14:16] <Noldarr> or just the demon
[14:16] <@Taurus_II> hmm
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[14:17] <@Taurus_II> good question. Inkwell, roll occult again :P
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> It's supposed to be a really really really big secret
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> Like you'd get Orabilis after you if you found out
[14:17] <Inkwell> I shall spend five motes to add six dice.
[14:18] <Inkwell> It's not secret that Yozis can possess their underlings- that's well known.
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> I mean the binding thing
[14:18] <Inkwell> It's secret that they're immune to their bindings while possessed.
[14:18] <Inkwell> Nobody knows that, so Inkwell doesn't.
[14:18] <@Taurus_II> ok
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> Oh wait
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> The Deliberative does
[14:18] <@Taurus_II> no
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> Mendicant told them
[14:18] <@Taurus_II> =/
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> remember?
[14:18] <@Taurus_II> I remember
[14:19] <@Taurus_II> but the way it got dismissed, I'm not sure they really understood what he was trying to say
[14:19] <Brazen_Sand> As you wish
[14:20] <Brazen_Sand> It's your call, I wasn't trying to twist anything
[14:20] <Noldarr> wait, if a yozi is possessing a soul and it gets hit with defeat equals friendship
[14:20] <Noldarr> would the yozi get hit with defeat equals friendship?
[14:20] <@Taurus_II> we'll put it this way: If they bothered to try and remember and pay attention, they would know. But they haven't, so they don't.
[14:20] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Oo oh interesting thought
[14:20] <@Taurus_II> Yes, Noldarr. And then the Yozi would activate defensive charms.
[14:20] <@Taurus_II> :P
[14:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, they'd have their high level social defenses, so it probably wouldn't amount to much.
[14:21] <Noldarr> assuming its body has motes and willpower left!
[14:21] <Noldarr> and that the attack is of a nature that the yozi can defend against!
[14:21] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, good luck mote-draining
[14:21] <Noldarr> the defenses of the ebon dragon fail against all holy attacks.
[14:21] <Noldarr> =D
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> The Ebon Dragon is incapable of forming positive intimacies to anything or anyone other then itself
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> It's one of it's charms
[14:22] <Noldarr> hm, it'd probably go to a rolloff then
[14:22] <Noldarr> damn
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> It's an unacceptable order
[14:22] <Noldarr> ah, okay
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, Nomoe is a girl?
[14:23] <Noldarr> SHE IS NOW
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> *sparkle-magic!*
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> huh?
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what?
[14:23] <Noldarr> must have activated stone of gender change
[14:23] <Noldarr> *sagenod*
[14:23] <Noldarr> >_>
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> huh
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> damn
[14:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> pronoun mix up
[14:24] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> yep XD
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> XD
[14:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I was writing a long IC post for a PbP just before the game :o
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> It happens
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> I mixed up my Wraith PC with my Werewolf PC a couple days ago
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> mmmm...Wraith
[14:25] <Noldarr> lol
[14:25] <Noldarr> trustyworthy
[14:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, he could very easily appear to be a woman. His Resplendent Phoenex Wings make all sorts of disguises quite easy. *nods*
[14:25] <@Taurus_II> >.< damn can't think of a word...
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> Oh man, I hate when that happens
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> Oh crap, and I had wanted to make one more condition
[14:25] <Noldarr> happens to me a lot
[14:25] <Noldarr> i've been making an effort to force-remember, though
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> that Gem be accepted as a legitimate political body
[14:25] <Noldarr> works every time
[14:25] <Noldarr> after like
[14:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[14:25] <Noldarr> five minutes of sitting there
[14:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> too late
[14:25] <Noldarr> thinking super hard
[14:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You're talking to an Eclipse :p
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Aye-yi-yi D:
[14:26] <Noldarr> oh
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Too bad we don't have a fiend
[14:26] <Noldarr> snap
[14:26] <Noldarr> =D
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> We could just start making someone botch Fiend-covered oathes to fuck up the ED
[14:26] <Noldarr> zanthrax is playing
[14:26] <Noldarr> his bowing out
[14:26] <Noldarr> was an elaborate plot
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> : O
[14:26] <Noldarr> due to the nature of his character
[14:26] <Noldarr> he had no choice but to enter this way
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Whaaaaaaaat?
[14:26] <Noldarr> lol
[14:27] <Noldarr> =P
[14:27] <Inkwell> Mind you, the GSP anima powers are probably all going to be errata'd into something different when the monkies get around to them.
[14:27] <Brazen_Sand> HE'S USING FATE-SNARLING DECEPTION.
[14:27] <Brazen_Sand> He could be any one of us! D:
[14:27] <Noldarr> duck fate!
[14:27] <Noldarr> quickly!
[14:28] <@Taurus_II> The full oath?
[14:28] <Brazen_Sand> Well yeah, I thought you were going to do an Eclipse Oath thing
[14:28] <Inkwell> We can probably just say that the oath is made without going over it all again.
[14:28] <Brazen_Sand> If it's just a handshake, then nvm
[14:28] <@Taurus_II> I was. I'm just wondering what "the full oath" is
[14:28] <Brazen_Sand> I add a "no tricks" clause, then.
[14:29] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, "In exchange for trade and assistance with Wyld-shaping, Brazen Sand will assist the Deliberative in rooting out this Solar-Assassination plot."
[14:30] <Brazen_Sand> "And no tricks"
[14:34] <Noldarr> taurus, by your answer I assume that DEF would hit both the demon and the person?
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> If it's a First Circle, then Emerald Circle Banishment should work
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> If that IS what's going on, of course.
[14:36] <Inkwell> Come to think of it, I should be able to use Sapphire Banishment to clear out any number of possessing demons.
[14:37] <@Taurus_II> DEF?
[14:37] <@Taurus_II> Defeat Equals Friendship/
[14:37] <@Taurus_II> ?*
[14:37] <Noldarr> y
[14:37] <@Taurus_II> hmmm
[14:37] <@Taurus_II> I'm going to say no. It hits whichever one is mentally in control at the time
[14:39] <Noldarr> mkay
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> So then, do we have anything else to ask?
[14:39] <Noldarr> i think we need to forge some sort of plan of action
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> or discuss
[14:39] <Noldarr> beyond 'investigate'
[14:39] <Noldarr> these are my motivations, btw
[14:39] <Noldarr> for motm
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> hmmm...Actually, I could do quite well investigating these guys
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> Insignificant Ember Intuition could pick out false Solars
[14:40] <Inkwell> I have a plan, but the NPC is telling me he doesn't want me to. BUT WHO CARES WHAT HE THINKS?
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> We're all going. ROAD TRIP
[14:40] <Noldarr> as far as i see, the most direct approach would be
[14:40] <Noldarr> 1. go investigate
[14:40] <Noldarr> 2. if confirmed, remove demons by whatever means is most palatable
[14:40] <Noldarr> 3. deal with immaculates and the empress
[14:41] <Noldarr> since we'll already be there
[14:41] <Inkwell> We don't have a place //to// investigate, except where this stuff has already happened. We need to bring the instigators to us.
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> We could go to Yu-Shan
[14:41] <Noldarr> we don't?
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> see if we could access Fate
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> Well, the Eclipses could, that is
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> I doubt I'd be welcome in Yu-Shan
[14:41] <Noldarr> isn't there a region in which the solars are dying?
[14:41] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I doubt greatly you would ^^
[14:41] <Noldarr> that's how we know, right?
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, but Creation is *big*
[14:41] <@Taurus_II> You'd be tolerated, assuming the Solars vouched for you, Brazen
[14:42] <Inkwell> We can interrogate a few of these anathema demons to figure out where their summoners are hiding.
[14:42] <Noldarr> I can ask Lilac to investigate
[14:42] <Inkwell> Or Alveua might know, since she's their progenitor.
[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> who is Lilac?
[14:42] <Noldarr> she ought to be able to turn up some good stuff
[14:42] <Noldarr> my siddie ally
[14:42] <@Taurus_II> >.> To be honest, I hadn't picked out a location
[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> The problem with Alveua is that if we summon her and ask, we'd tip off the ED
[14:42] <@Taurus_II> apart from "The Threshold"
[14:42] <Lady_Daethia> well were asking so get that thginking cap on xD
[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> Awww don't pressure him
[14:42] <Lady_Daethia> thinking even P:
[14:43] <Lady_Daethia> xD
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> Maybe we should try out Yu-Shan
[14:43] <Lady_Daethia> im not being serious T_T
[14:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Hideaki is asking becasue that intelligence gives us past incident locations. And if something like this happens again we can head right there.
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> This Lilac fellow could help us out
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[14:43] <@Taurus_II> (it's a she)
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> But surely we'd be able to look up Demon Summoning in Heaven
[14:43] <Noldarr> she's a she
[14:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Any of the incidents close enough, chronologically, that the incident site and/or the corpse are still available for investigation?
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, it must have some effect on teh Loom
[14:44] <Inkwell> The Bureau of Destiny may be able to tip us off to sites that have been frequented by creatures outside of fate.
[14:44] <Noldarr> yeah, if it does, she'll be able to tell
[14:44] <Noldarr> we don't need to all go to yu-shan
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah.
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> But it'd be FUN
[14:44] <Noldarr> and therefore we can sidestep the whole will infernals be accepted thing
[14:44] <Noldarr> was my point
[14:44] <@Taurus_II> *ponders&
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> I like Yu-Shan >_>
[14:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Gasp with the Sidereals mangled. The convention on Demons is likely empty and thus demon tracking is now nil XD
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, we could even ask the Maidens!
[14:44] <Brazen_Sand> The Maidens would know.
[14:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah right.
[14:45] <Noldarr> the maidens can't tell us
[14:45] <Noldarr> due to samsara
[14:45] <Brazen_Sand> Unless Samsara tells them to tell us!
[14:45] <Inkwell> They could tell us. They just might not know.
[14:45] <@Taurus_II> and/or have to speak in cryptic riddles
[14:45] <Noldarr> which almost never happens, sadly
[14:45] <Noldarr> yeah
[14:45] <Noldarr> well, okay
[14:45] <Noldarr> let's talk IC
[14:45] <Brazen_Sand> They're the best at looking at the Loom
[14:45] <Inkwell> Jupiter is the only one who gets "This is secret, don't tell anybody" out of samsara.
[14:45] <Lady_Daethia> in RoTE the maidens pretty much sit back and just decide "what happens happens" so i doubt theyd cooperate
[14:45] <Brazen_Sand> they could examine it for patterns
[14:46] <Inkwell> The others just don't ask too many questions because they have to enforce the answer whether they like it or not.
[14:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So, Taurus, any incidents that can still be investigated without having to resort to "look back in time" sorcery?
[14:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Plan B, I'd say, is to fake an appearance of a new Solar and wait if someone comes to whack them :p
[14:46] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, that could work well too
[14:47] <Noldarr> problem is if no one comes
[14:47] <Inkwell> That's actually a pretty good plan, although the Reclamation conspirators may not be involving themselves in real conspiracies.
[14:47] <@Taurus_II> I'm still pondering
[14:47] <Inkwell> We might be able to find the right Immaculates to interrogate, though, when they show up.
[14:47] <@Taurus_II> the answer is yes
[14:47] <@Taurus_II> I'm just still deciding where
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> I still think we should look at the Loom, if only to see if there are any useful patterns
[14:47] <Inkwell> We appear as a new Solar, the local shikari show up, we tie them up and hit them up with our interrogation magic.
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> You know, see if this is part of a world-wide pattern
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> But this works too
[14:47] <Noldarr> if you really wanna go to yu-shan
[14:47] <Noldarr> there's nothing stopping us
[14:48] <Noldarr> we can just go to party or something
[14:48] <Brazen_Sand> XD
[14:48] <Noldarr> actually, I kinda wanna yell at ucs
[14:48] <Brazen_Sand> Nah, I'm happy wherever we go, I'm having fun
[14:49] <Noldarr> okay, so
[14:49] <Noldarr> as i understand it
[14:49] <Noldarr> the plan is
[14:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> well, since there does seem to be an incident that's not too long past (if I understood taurus correctly), we can start by following up on that. Then, if possible interrogate perpetrators. Plan B, the fake act. Plan C ... set something on fire?
[14:49] <Noldarr> 1. go to the place taurus indicates
[14:49] <Noldarr> 2. investigate
[14:49] <Noldarr> 3. if we don't find enough, stage a solar awakening relatively close
[14:49] <Noldarr> anything to add
[14:49] <Noldarr> ?
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> hmmmm...actually, Launjilla might be useful
[14:49] <Lady_Daethia> seems the best course
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> it has Essence Sight
[14:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mnemon has connections to the Immaculate Underground
[14:50] <Noldarr> oh, and 4
[14:50] <Noldarr> if that doesn't work, go to heaven
[14:50] <Noldarr> and beg
[14:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We could try to use those to roll things up from the other side.
[14:50] <Noldarr> yeah, we can do both at the same time
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> If Launjilla showed up dematerialized, that could help a lot
[14:50] <Noldarr> hit 'em hard
[14:50] <Noldarr> will they recognize her as
[14:50] <Noldarr> your minion
[14:50] <Noldarr> and thus a traitor?
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> I doubt it.
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> Depends on who's looking
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> If its just a First-Circle demon, then unlikely
[14:52] <Noldarr> alright
[14:52] <Noldarr> so, mnemon
[14:52] <Noldarr> what exactly are we asking her to do
[14:52] <@Taurus_II> Nothing, AFAIK
[14:52] <Brazen_Sand> wait, is Memnon actually with the underground rebellion?
[14:53] <@Taurus_II> Man, talk about a delayed reaction :P
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no, but it was mentioned, that she has contacts (as in spies, I presume) among them
[14:53] <Brazen_Sand> okay
[14:53] <Noldarr> she has connections to the underground, so beyond just milking them about these incidents
[14:53] <Noldarr> what else are we having her do?
[14:53] <Noldarr> can she be useful to use in other ways?
[14:53] <@Taurus_II> dunno. You haven't asked. :P
[14:54] <Noldarr> hm
[14:54] <Noldarr> off the top of my head
[14:54] <Noldarr> if she can get me in physical contact with one of the higher-level conspirators
[14:54] <Inkwell> Hm, I should probably be headed out now. It's been about four hours.
[14:54] <Noldarr> i can hit 'em with worshipful lackey acquisition
[14:54] <Noldarr> thus turning an enemy into an ally
[14:54] <Inkwell> I think we got a lot done, though.
[14:54] <@Taurus_II> Oh, you need to go, Rand?
[14:54] <@Taurus_II> okay
[14:54] <Noldarr> yeah
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> Bye Rand
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> yeah, we've got the whole intro done
[14:55] * Inkwell bows.
[14:55] *** Inkwell has quit IRC: Disintegrated: Leaving
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> I wish they'd stop disintegrating so quickly ;_;
[14:55] <@Taurus_II> heh
[14:56] <Brazen_Sand> So should we continue?
[14:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Do we continue or take it from here next time?
[14:56] <Lady_Daethia> i dont mind but i guess the scene is set
