Kejak has aged. But it's mostly a question of whether it's most awesome looking young or old.


And you most certainly can learn a lot in 1500 years, but if that's what you want, you'd be better off looking for a Joybringer.

 

[Esbilon]

Overexposure. Rose is too pretty all the time. Even chocolate starts to taste bitter after you've eaten half a bag of it.

Um, I don't think "chocolate" means what you think it means.

 

[MaHaSuchi's700]

Come on. She has appearance 4. Rose has 6, 13 when she's being serious.

That's beyond mortal comprehension though - everything rated beyond 5 dots is so amazing that we can't really fathom how good it is because 5 dots is supposed to represent the pinnacle of mortal acheivement, e.g. Usain Bolts, Einsteins, and Gisele Bundchens.

Psh. Everyone and their mother (and their mother's mothers) know that Joybringers are nothing more than cheap parlor whores.

 

[Arynne]

No. Too disruptive to the other patrons.

Oh. I thought it might be "No, you'll get fur/feathers in the bath."

 

[Sherwood]

Have you guys ever seen the movie "Spirited Away"? It is a perfect example of what I picture Yu-Shan to be. If you haven't seen it, I fully encourage you to watch it.

Well, the 5 dot scale does not suffice to tell the very beast from those who are merely great, but that is true. However, I don't see how that means that ratings above 5 are less than awe-inspiring. Constantly so.


One way I would imagine Appeance 6 (in this case), would be a beauty that changes subtly, so as to avoid the "getting sick of chocolate" nonsense that JayTee is spouting.

 

[JayTee]

Arynne: Yes, there is that as well


Sherwood: I love that movie, I look forward to reenacting it!

 

[Esbilon]

"When the Solars returned to Creation about five years ago, Lytek gathered his allies in his office to help protect him before he alerted the Sidereals that the Solars had been freed to return to Creation."

My favourite quote from any Exalted book ever is this one.

[QUOTE="Compass of Celestial Directions]On 7 Ascending Water, 764, Lytek sent the following message directly to Chejop Kejak, with copies delivered to every divisional head in Yu-Shan: “It is my very great pleasure to inform you that the Solar Exalted have returned."

Hmm the setting for Spirited Away isn't grandiose enough for Yu-Shan.

 

[Arynne]

Depends what section of Yu-Shan you're thinking of.


If it's the back alleys and empty buildings where hungry dinosaurs attempt to eat you...

 

[Sherwood]

Think of the bathhouse as just one tiny slice of life in Yu-Shan, and that is what I picture for the Celestial City.

 

[JayTee]

I imagine it being a rustic-themed bath house, more than anything else.

 

[Esbilon]

I imagine it being a rustic-themed bath house, more than anything else.

"Rustic" as in "older than the invention of towels"?

 

[JayTee]

...yes.

 

[MrSerious]

"Rustic" as in "older than the invention of towels"?

Hah hah I love it!

 

[Arynne]

But...but...we all know where our towels are!

 

[Esbilon]

Yes. On the other side of the Yu-Shan gate ;-)

 

[Lord-Leafar]

I came late for all this bath house posts, but am I reading this correctly, having Chejop Kejak's nude old wrinkled body was part of Tiger's master plan for this meeting?

 

[JayTee]

It's an unfortunate but acceptable downside. The benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

 

[Lord-Leafar]

Considering that any Sidereal capable of threatening you would not need any weapons or artifacts to do so, I do hope the gratuitous nudity is worth it.

 

[JayTee]

I am quite capable of defending myself unarmed and unarmored. I built my character concept around that idea, after all

 

[Sherwood]

For the Yu-Shan trip, did you guys want to include Filial Wisdom with the party, or just L'ron and Athaclenna?

 

[Lord-Leafar]

I think they would rather have Filial stay in Rathess, after all he provides a good amount of muscle to protect the city. But if everyone would rather have him come along, I won't oppose that.

 

[JayTee]

I think the idea was to bring him along to show we're interested in redeeming and saving creation, not murdering our way in to power.


EDIT: That said, Leafar is right in that we could use the muscle at home. Right now 3/4ths of our combat heavies are away from Rathess.
