Yours are not, that is why they still work in places like the Last Station keep underground. It's a fair assumption Wicked City ones are not either.
Really? Thanks for the buff, but I remember us having to go through a bunch of trouble to install Internet in Last Station. Also not being able to call people when in the Never-Never.

Or when you say work you mean continue to function and are very clever in finding methods to access networks? I don't think taking down the cell tower would be enough.

The internet was for the people who lived there, demons can talk to each other magically but it is now what one would call good bandwidth. The reason you could not call from the never-never is that you were in another world. The veil was in the way.
 
This is another situation where A Cold and Lonely World would be perfect. The charm is really perfect for kidnapping.

because from what I remember that sends the Cyber devil back to the Wicked City.

Murder is meat.

That is all.

Part of why I want to destroy the phone ourself:

[x] Plan: keep it simple.
-[x] walk a little inside the building then use MHM to *accidentally* have her phone fall on the ground and break while in a discreet place. Use murder is meat on the spirit.
-[x] Use empathy to try and recruit her.
--[X] STUNT: "Thank you for your genuine care, but please, let me assure you" the shadows shift in the fleeing moment between two words, and with them, the world and you. Where a mortal was half a heartbeat before, now the Empress of the Fivefold Court stands, glorious and awe inspiring. "The resources our self-defense club can bring forth to protect its members are quite substantial. Would you, perhaps, be interested in making use of them to get out of your current predicament?" you finish with a slight grin.

Stole Yog's previous stunt, without the typo at the end.

Edit:

I am not going to use any plan that relies on Olivia not being detected even while in direct contact with the phone.

Murdering the spirit doesn't help us. All it does is send up a neon flashing sign that Molly killed the spirit. Spirit killing charms are super rare.

Murder is Meat only works on Spirits we kill. Breaking the phone the spirit is in doesn't hurt the spirit at all. They're naturally immaterial and don't have bodies without some kind of binding all breaking it does is just sends it directly back to Hell Without even touching it.
 
That's true in the same way saying people die when they are killed is true.
No I mean it only activates when we kill them. We have no way of actually stopping the Cyber devil from just disappearing Into The Ether because it's already partially in The Ether and doesn't have an actual body and we don't have any bindings to keep it here.
 
That's true in the same way saying people die when they are killed is true, but both fluff and intent MIM should work.
Let me put this another way cyber Devils are completely immaterial bodyless beings. Unless we plan on pulling out our sword and jamming it through the phone with aggravated damage on top to make sure it hits across the gauntlet breaking the phone sends the Cyber devil straight back to the hell. We inflict no damage Levels by doing that.

Success conjures a vortex
of crimson flaying winds which slice its dissipating substance into stray motes of Essence.


It is just as much here as anything else we killed whose spirit might escape.

Dissipating substance it's still whole we didn't damage it at all we just got rid of its anchor. Cyberdevils like every other Spirit have their own health levels independent from objects they're anchored to.
 
@DragonParadox Since Molly can use Cyberdevils herself and has the spirit killing charm can we get an answer on this? Will destroying the possessed phone with MHM while intending to use MiM without the sword allow us to eat it or would the spirit escape?
 
[x] Plan: keep it simple.

Can anyone tell me why we're spending so much of our resources on Nora? Instead of just going to the Well? She's not important.

They said that going to Harvard wouldn't have the arc fatigue like before, but I'm already feeling it again, much to my irritation.
 
Again we have Flick a Binding and Warding Grandmaster. She could easily capture such minor spirits, given even a minute prep.
Flick is rather obvious you know. Does she have stealth tech or magic? I imagine she would've used it earlier if so.

She's a spy for someone who wants the Well. If we interact with the Well it gets reported and we may have to deal with interference.

Because she should have a whole report on the well. Also we don't want the wicked city to have it.
 
Okay then. I will say this the captured demon in a phone with no battery does allow us to ask crown questions directly about Mikaboshi or the wicked City directly from a source that directly interacted with them. Also we do have someone who's capable of binding it later so we can get regular non-crown questions about those things as well. It seems to me that breaking her phone or otherwise destroying the phone it's just a waste of resources that are already here/ could be useful later. Never mind the fact it might alert the lord of the wicked City before we really want him to be alerted which is to say well after we've already set up shop.

  • [X] Plan: Boxed in
    -[X] Go out to get some coffee as discussed. Find a secluded spot in a corner near a side door if possible to talk about magic things.
    --[X] On the way there text Lydia and Olivia that Nora is a spy and that you're all being listened to by a Cyberdevil in her phone. Tell Olivia to remove the battery from the phone before placing it back after we start eating and tell Lydia to summon a ride after we get to our destination incase we need to move with an incapacitated Nora.
    --[X] After the phone is disposed of drop BMI, and use an empathy-driven approach to try and subvert her. Empathy excellency.
    ---[X] STUNT: Olivia gives you the signal that the digital spy was taken care of and you clear your throat drawing the table's attention to yourself. The shadows shift in the fleeing moment between two words, and with them, the world and you. Where a mortal was half a heartbeat before, now the Empress of the Fivefold Court stands, glorious and awe inspiring. "All that aside... You seem to be in quite the pickle Nora. You know, the resources our self-defense club can bring forth to protect its members are quite substantial. Would you, perhaps, be interested in making use of them to get out of your current predicament?" you finish with a disarming expression. It's no coincidence that Nora is seated between Olivia and Lydia in the booth as you make the offer.

I am still genuinely confused with all the stealth.

We don't need it. We could literally declare boston ours and challange all comers. And 99% nothing would dare approch us.


Like genuinely the only enemy I still consider threatneing are the denarians. Everything else we can and will sword to death if they try anything.

Demon Lords, gods, fairies and just Spirits in general are notoriously fucking sore losers. If they had any interest in this place and they saw a setting up shop before they could I do not doubt they would attempt to destroy it just because they could. Also the stealth is because I want to look directly into the head of Mikaboshi. Which we can do because the crown has a source that was personally picked by him the to be placed in someone's phone.
