Editing Nobilis Hydrarch:Session 3 (section)

== Scene 1 ==
* 11:56:19 <Mirrinae>	"We would of course be honored to accept your invitation, I think."
* 11:56:59 <Gabe>	"Yes, and we thank you for, ah, sharing your wisdom."
* 11:57:18 <HG>	 E: "Then I shall look forward to seeing you there" she says bowing slightly and then leaving.
* 11:58:05 *	Gabe bows in return.
* 11:58:17 <HG>	E:"May the Ash shelter you." 
* 11:58:22 <Mirrinae>	*nods her head respectfully*
* 11:59:14 <HG>	(Okay now she has left room)
* 11:59:41 <Gabe>	(The Camorran is still here, right?)
* 11:59:53 <HG>	(Yes. Sitting quietly.)
* 12:00:09 *	Gabe turns to the Camorran.
* 12:00:36 <Gabe>	"And what can we do for you, miss...?"
* 12:00:41 <Gabe>	(...or was it mister?)
* 12:00:44 <HG>	She stands.
* 12:01:35 *	You are now known as Alisa
* 12:03:52 <Alisa>	"I am here to speak on behaf of the Camorra.  We are mortal organization dedicated to serving the Powers of the Earth."
* 12:04:21 <Alisa>	(She stands and bows deeply, but stiffly before saying this.)
* 12:04:42 <Gabe>	'Well, that sounds promising,' Gabe thinks as he bows back.
* 12:05:03 <Mirrinae>	Mirrinae gives another nod
* 12:06:46 <Alisa>	"For now we would simply ask to beable to establish a perminant embassy in your Chancell so that we can best serve you." 
* 12:07:45 <Gabe>	Gabe holds up a finger as if to say 'could you give us a moment?' and leans over towards Mirrinae.
* 12:08:09 <Mirrinae>	Mirrinae is about to speak, but acknowledges Gabe's gesture and leans in close as well
* 12:08:56 <Mirrinae>	(would Aspect 1 be enough to hold a whispered conversation an average human couldn't overhear?)
* 12:09:13 <Gabe>	"What do you think?" he asks. "It doesn't sound like a bad idea, but I'm not sure how much of the governance of the, um, Chancel is in our hands."
* 12:09:44 <Gabe>	"There are four thrones here, is what I'm getting at."
* 12:09:56 <Gabe>	(Good question.
* 12:* 10:00 <Mirrinae>	"That is true.  Also, an embassy implies that we would be acknowledging them, establishing diplomatic relations with them, in essence"
* 12:* 10:13 <Alisa>	(probobly..unless they were exstra good at hearing..)
* 12:* 11:08 <Gabe>	(Well, we can give it a shot anyway.)
* 12:* 11:21 <Mirrinae>	(Do I knkow I can use Realm 2 to communicate with the Hydrarch via Realm's Heart?)
* 12:* 11:39 <Gabe>	(There's also that we have the gift of tongues and she probably doesn't, but I doubt we're savvy enough to take advantage of that yet.)
* 12:* 12:21 <Alisa>	(Sure..I think that is probobly at least partialy instinctual)
* 12:* 12:48 <Alisa>	(the Realm 2 thing)
* 12:* 13:36 <Mirrinae>	Mirrinae sends her thoughts to the Hydrarch.  "Lord, there is an agent of the organization known as the Cammorae here, wishing to establish an embassy within our Chancel.  Do we have discretion to grant or deny this request?"
* 12:* 13:59 <Gabe>	"Also true," Gabe nods. "Of course, refusing them could be an insult. I suppose it's a question of who we'd like to--"
* 12:* 14:23 <Mirrinae>	(huh, can't figure out how to do italics.  The option is greyed out)
* 12:* 14:29 <Gabe>	He then sees Mirrinae looking towards the distance, as if making a telephone call.
* 12:* 15:35 <Alisa>	H: "Hmmm? Oh, you should talk to your Mother.  She seemed a good Queen." 
* 12:16:10 <Alisa>	 \italic\?
* 12:16:22 <Alisa>	(hmm no)
* 12:16:44 <Gabe>	(Doesn't always translate between chat programs anyway, as I understand.)
* 12:16:58 <Alisa>	(ah that makes sense)
* 12:18:08 <Mirrinae>	"That's a good idea.  But I was more curious if we had the authority to establish such diiplomatic relationships on our own or whether we should ask your permission first."
* 12:19:34 <Alisa>	H: "She has my permission to do as she wills over the chancell."
* 12:22:20 <Mirrinae>	(somewhere in Mirrinae's head, she's thinking.  "Oh great, my mother has been set above me permanently.")
* 12:22:57 <Mirrinae>	"...understood."
* 12:23:56 <Mirrinae>	*returning to speaking to Gabe* "...apparently we must ask for the permission of my mother before entering into diplomatic relations.  That is rather awkward."
* 12:24:28 <Mirrinae>	(at least if I'm understanding the H's comments correctly?)
* 12:24:29 <Gabe>	"Your... mother," Gabe repeats.
* 12:24:34 <Alisa>	H: <But outside of it, you are the Higher powe.> 
* 12:24:37 <Alisa>	(Yes)
* 12:25:20 <Mirrinae>	"Apparently, our Imperator has chosen to grant her authority in the Chancel."
* 12:26:06 <Gabe>	After a moment, his face lights up. "Oh...! Of course, you're Princess Mirrinae! You're mother is the Queen! I'm sorry, I'm new the island, I didn't recognize the name at first."
* 12:26:59 <Mirrinae>	*smiles* "No trouble.  We are not a particularly famous people, I understand."
* 12:27:05 <Gabe>	(Never mind all this newfangled Godhood. You're a princess! :p)
* 12:27:27 <Alisa>	(Pleasent is a 2 point Erus right?)
* 12:28:19 <Mirrinae>	(2 point is Assertive)
* 12:28:37 <Alisa>	(Pleasent is 1? Okay.)
* 12:30:28 <Mirrinae>	*transfers attention back to the Cammoran*  "I'm afraid that we have just been informed that we do not have the authority to conduct diplomatic relations.  To establish such a relationship, you will have to petition the Queen."
* 12:31:34 <Alisa>	(OOC: that means the Queen wi'll mostly agree with your goals/means.)
* 12:32:43 <Alisa>	"Ah, then we shall do so. Still you are our first piority."
* 12:33:14 <Mirrinae>	(I actually wouldn't mind upgrading her to Assertive, because I can't help but think some tension between mother and daughter would be natural)
* 12:33:22 <Mirrinae>	(not sure what we'd use the extra point on though)
* 12:33:52 <Gabe>	"And we're honored by the gesture," Gabe answers. "I apologize that we are not able to reciprocate the gesture."
* 12:34:23 <Mirrinae>	"What services could you offer us personally?"
* 12:34:41 <Mirrinae>	(did Emerald tell us anything about the Cammorae?)
* 12:35:15 <Alisa>	H: "wait Organization, you said the Camorra? I want you to learn more about them.  Find something big for them to do for you. Not as bad as assasinate a Noble but something..Oh and remember that a bird in the hand is worth three in the bush."
* 12:36:07 <Mirrinae>	"Very well."
* 12:36:31 <Mirrinae>	*aside to Gabe* "Apparently our lord wishes us to test the Cammora's capabilities by assigning them some great task."
* 12:36:45 <Alisa>	(She explained that they were a way around Entropy's laws.  But also very corrupt.)
* 12:38:10 <Gabe>	"I see..." Gabe answers, and tries to think of what a great task for a Familia of Nobles might be.
* 12:39:47 <Gabe>	"Maybe we could ask them to retrieve something of great value? Though I'm not sure what that something would be."
* 12:41:27 <Mirrinae>	"Well, maybe we can find out more about what specifically they do, and that will give us an idea."
* 12:42:04 <Alisa>	(and here I wish the book had an index.)
* 12:42:32 <Gabe>	(It does, though it's rather inadequate next to the ridiculous depth of information that the book contains)
* 12:44:17 <Alisa>	(It has a Glossary)
* 12:44:50 <Mirrinae>	(index starts at page 303)
* 12:45:12 <Gabe>	(Fast on the draw there, Princess. :))
* 12:45:44 <Mirrinae>	(I have the pdf open.  Note that I actually have the book, it's just that it's back in SD at the moment)
* 12:46:42 <Alisa>	(I also use the PDF)
* 12:47:16 <Gabe>	(I have both, but I like the book better. Not really fond of PDFs, 'specially when they're not searchable)
* 12:47:21 <Alisa>	(The book is around somewhere though..I just am not sure where.)
* 12:47:40 <Alisa>	(Yeah..)
* 12:48:03 <Alisa>	(Back to the game?)
* 12:48:12 <Gabe>	(Indeed!)
* 12:48:21 *	Gabe nods, and turns back to Alisa.
* 12:49:04 <Gabe>	"Perhaps we could do some... side business, apart from establishing an embassy. What type of services does your organization offer?"
* 12:53:21 <Alisa>	"A wide variaty.  If there is some mortal organization or policty you wish to affect, we can do so.  If you wish any thing from Earth we can proboby get, for an apropriate compisation.  If you wish to send a *message* we can do that to.  The laws are often restricting and we provide a means to slip out side of them."
* 12:57:30 <Mirrinae>	Mirrinae mentally reviews the Laws.  *to Gabe* "Perhaps there is a Power we could ask them to shield from Entropy's justice?"
* 12:58:12 <Mirrinae>	"It could put the Power in question in our debt and be a good test of the Cammora's abilities?"
* 12:59:49 <Gabe>	"It's not a bad idea... but I don't know any other Powers, let alone any that specifically could use the help."
* 13:00:24 <Mirrinae>	"True, but I would bet that they know of one, if one exists."
* 13:00:32 <Mirrinae>	"Think we should ask?"
* 13:01:51 <Gabe>	"Hmm... yes, let's do that. It's as good a plan as any."
* 13:02:58 <Mirrinae>	*to the Cammoran* "We woudl like to put your abilities to the test.  Do you know of any Power who would currently benefit from being protected from Lord Entropy's justice?"
* 13:04:45 <Alisa>	"That is a fairly big secret, but yes I do know that such Powers exist. Though there are only a few active fugitives and they are the distrustful sort."
* 13:05:56 <Gabe>	Gabe thinks for a moment. "And who would you say is the most distrustful of the lot?"
* 13:07:28 <Alisa>	"The Duke of Fire"
* 13:09:06 <Alisa>	"This would be a costly Favor, as the punishment for his crimes is *exacting*"
* 13:09:57 <Alisa>	"Should we tell him who is sheltering him?"
* 13:* 10:07 <Mirrinae>	"What cost?  And what crime?"
* 13:* 10:09 <Gabe>	*aside to Mirrinae.* "If they can protect the one who's least likely to accept the help, and the one they're most likely to suffer for protecting, they can protect anyone. Should be a good test, right?"
* 13:* 10:45 <Mirrinae>	*replies* "Makes sense"
* 13:* 12:57 <Alisa>	"The cost, from you, a Mirricle, we wish our opratives to be able to hide in any human order, to advise every king." 
* 13:* 15:00 <Gabe>	"And the crime?"
* 13:* 15:02 <Mirrinae>	(huh, what would that be, a Major Destruction of an organization's Perception?)
* 13:* 15:19 <Mirrinae>	(err, all organizations' perceptions)
* 13:16:17 <Alisa>	(Yeah that would do it..its a big favor. But you did ask for the most distrustful one. They are going to lose people to this.)
* 13:16:56 <Mirrinae>	"As opposed to the most distrustful, whose goodwill would you say would be the most helpful to us?"
* 13:19:00 <Mirrinae>	(sorry for making you do improv :P )
* 13:19:16 <Alisa>	"There are 4 or so who could be depending on your goals."
* 13:19:35 <Alisa>	(Its fun. Gives me something to think about before next game.)
* 13:21:10 <Mirrinae>	"I would say our current goals are to establish ourselves in Noble society and prepare for our role in the war."
* 13:23:42 <Alisa>	"In that case there is an power well respected among both the Dark and those who focus on the War.  She has strings in many places, and could give your names to the right Ears."
* 13:24:47 <Gabe>	"Ears... with a capital E?" Gabe asks. "Is that her Estate, then?"
* 13:27:54 <Gabe>	"And, more pressingly, what would be the cost to protect her? So we can weigh the costs and benefits properly."
* 13:27:57 <Alisa>	"Oh, no.  The Power of Hearing is a follower of Heaven.  I meant that she has the respect of a large number of Powers, and even a few Imperators."
* 13:30:34 <Mirrinae>	"Is she of the Dark herself?"
* 13:31:25 <Alisa>	"She would be easier. We would ask only that you blind formal justice to our members."
* 13:32:08 <Mirrinae>	(wouldn't that be the same miracle level?)
* 13:32:28 <Alisa>	"Indeed, she is, she is the most vocal of those who stress that the War is worth fighting for that faction."
* 13:32:37 <Gabe>	(Sounds like it would be)
* 13:32:52 <Alisa>	(Yes but it won't make as many enamies for you.)
* 13:33:31 <Mirrinae>	(great, so the choice is between giving the Cammora free reign on Earth and releasing one of the Dark to go on and do Darky things.  On the other hand, sounds like this one would at least help keep the Dark on track for fighting Excrucians, so it could be a net benefit)
* 13:33:57 <Mirrinae>	(I guess the second option is slightly less horrible)
* 13:34:27 <Gabe>	(You're the one picking up the tab, I think it should be your call.)
* 13:34:56 <Mirrinae>	(let's go with the second, and see what happens.  We've been Nobles for all of an hour, mistakes happen)
* 13:35:15 <Alisa>	(Heh)
* 13:35:30 <Gabe>	(Screwups lead to fun-times! That's how Plot works. :P)
* 13:35:53 <Mirrinae>	"Very well, I ask that you grant her our aid, and let her know to whom she owes the favor."
* 13:37:13 <Mirrinae>	Mirrinae raises her hand, and reaches out through her newfound senses to her Estate, and from the infinite weave of organization, plucks those threads that would allow the systems of formal justice to effect the Cammorans
* 13:37:40 <Mirrinae>	(Presumably, should anyone try, they will inevitably suffer screwups, bureacratic hurdles, and other assorted failures)
* 13:38:44 <Alisa>	"If that is all? I should get back to my collugues to arange matters."
* 13:38:58 <Mirrinae>	(and I'm down to 1 DMP.  Yay)
* 13:39:53 <Alisa>	(Evidence always ends up in the wrong jursidiction. Some how theres a stupid loop hole in the laws that makes neither rackateering nor theift..that sort of thing?)
* 13:40:17 <Alisa>	(So Greater Distruction?)
* 13:40:32 <Mirrinae>	(*nods*)
* 13:40:48 <Alisa>	(works for me.)
* 13:41:13 <Mirrinae>	(cool)
* 13:41:51 <Alisa>	(Should I throw something for you to do *right now* or should we time skip a bit?)
* 13:42:31 <Gabe>	(Why, did you have something in mind?)
* 13:42:57 <Mirrinae>	(either way works for me.  I suppose we should go chat with Mirrinae's mom)
* 13:43:34 <Alisa>	(Was maybe thinking of throwing an attack of some sort at you.)
* 13:45:16 <Alisa>	(thats an option too.)
* 13:45:22 <Gabe>	(I could go either way.)
* 13:45:22 <Mirrinae>	(would be a good distraction)
