[Exalted: Planet Earth] The Creation-Spanning Weave

[WarDragon]

Wasn't planning on it. I was going to surprise her afterwards.

 

[Esbilon]

Allright, so what's his plan? Find a shower and a tux, dress up nicely and show up at the Belasco?

 

[WarDragon]

Pretty much, yes. Kinda regretting not snagging Carver's wallet to help out with that plan at the moment, though, heh. I don't suppose I get enough xp out of that to learn Changing Plumage Mastery...

 

[Kaji-Oni]

I am soo looking forward to when Lavinia figures out what her anima does

 

[WarDragon]

And I'm preparing to get chewed out by both Frank and Isaac for clumsy masquerade-keeping.

It'll be like that scene in Doctor Who!

[WarDragon]

I think the Scottish Thread is waiting on ST...

 

[Esbilon]

I have come to that conclusion aswell, I'll get to it tonight.

 

[Esbilon]

@WarDragon Tom has time to take a physical action before the murderous villain can act on Lavinia's request.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

@Esbilon any chance we can move things in my thread as well? we could fast forward to the next scene if needed.

 

[Esbilon]

Oh, man. I'm sorry, for some reason I didn't think I was the hold up. Yes. I'll get on it asap.

 

[WarDragon]

That's... pretty skeevy, Scandanavian.

 

[Esbilon]

The funny thing is, poor Mike is Compelled to run for the next 4 days He can spend WP to resist, sure, but the next day he has to start running again.

 

[Arynne]

Hypnotic Tongue/Poisoning the Will makes everybody your Literal Genie.

 

[Esbilon]

Not quite, they can go by your intention, but the Compulsion lasts for your Charisma days and Lavinia's intention was pretty clear

 

[Scandinavian]

That's... pretty skeevy, Scandanavian.

Isaac is a good guy. He's not, however, a very nice guy.

 

[WarDragon]

At this point, you're going to have a rather hard time convincing Tom of the former, I'm afraid.

 

[Scandinavian]

I don't need his trust, and frankly he has no good reason to give it. I just need his collaboration.


(Like I said: Good, not nice.)

 

[WarDragon]

Again... very tough sell on that.


Look at it from Tom's perspective. Twice in one day, things have gone to hell around him, in pretty much the worst possible way. Both times... you've been there, acting friendly, smug, and superior, talking like you just expect him to do what you say. Combined with getting a lesson in paranoia from the Exxon office goon squad, I don't think it's unreasonable for him to suspect that things going to hell is partly your fault.

 

[Scandinavian]

Heh. Not really Isaac's fault that Tom's about two hundred XP short of being able to back up all his bluster, is it now?

 

[WarDragon]

How do you mean?

 

[Scandinavian]

From Isaac's perspective, Tom's bad day is entirely due to Tom rushing in where angels fear to tread.


We both know that both those perspectives are unfair, but unfortunately neither Tom nor Isaac has the luxury of our meta-knowledge.

 

[WarDragon]

Now you're gonna give her spoilers for our conversation? That's just being a dick. >_>

 

[Scandinavian]

It's the only thing I know about the situation that she doesn't know and which will become a matter of public record regardless of what I say or do.


If and when Isaac realizes that she's Exalted, then the game will change, of course, and he can start show-and-telling stuff that is actually secret, not just ahead of the curve.

 

[Esbilon]

@WarDragon Feel free to interrupt the others whenever you like. With or without a stunt detailing security being annoying and ineffective.
