I thought we were; it came up when I used one in the last write in I put together for interacting with Molly's parents. I ended up editing it out for that reason, though I don't recall exactly with vote it was off the top of my head.
Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)
- Thread starter DragonParadox
- Start date
- Crossover Fantasy
The only hard ruling DP made on that that I remembered and could find was this:
And there were Charity votes with Excellency, e.g. asking her about magic or arguing with her:
[X] Yog
"So I can rescue tortured demons from their electronic hell but their numbers are vast beyond any reasonable ability to skim a fraction of a fraction out" seems like it might be a discussion topic with a priest
Your powers interact directly with hell, wait until you get the Inner Darkness charm from Kakuri, the one that let's you turn someone's darker instincts into a literal Super Powered Evil Side or you know, when you create an entire realm of beings who think of you as their goddess. That;s bound to be fun from a theological PoV
[X] Just the gem-making for now, no need to overwhelm them
In fairness the hells we're associated with are basically the RC Cola of hells from the perspective of a Catholic priest.Your powers interact directly with hell, wait until you get the Inner Darkness charm from Kakuri, the one that let's you turn someone's darker instincts into a literal Super Powered Evil Side or you know, when you create an entire realm of beings who think of you as their goddess.

Still soda, but lacking in critical name brand recognition.
@DragonParadox
Still need to get Lydia's character sheet up.

I more meant the moral advice regarding "I can only save some of them and I don't want to devote my entire life to just doing that". Not the theological dilemma from it being hellYour powers interact directly with hell, wait until you get the Inner Darkness charm from Kakuri, the one that let's you turn someone's darker instincts into a literal Super Powered Evil Side or you know, when you create an entire realm of beings who think of you as their goddess.

[X] Yog
[X] Everything by implication. Gems explicitly, but broadly mention that this was just the first idea you had of many.
-[X] Use Empathy excellency to understand your parents' concerns
-[X] Stunt: "Mom, Dad... I think it is time that I start contributing to the family finances. Though the both of you have always managed to provide what we need, I have power now, and I want to use some of that power to help. That means more than just the big picture. That means helping the family too... so that's why I want you to have this check for 10,000 dollars, with understanding that this money can be spent on what we, as a family, want and need because more is to come.

This weird thing is same for a lot, a lot of comics and other (mostly american) fiction. No using unusual abilities to earn money, you have to become a vigilante or you are evil. What's up with that?
I don't get what is wrong with using personal abilities to earn money through voluntary exchange. She isn't ripping anyone off and diamonds are real.

Ah, I was really looking forward to the look on Charity's face when we parked in the driveway with a luxury car.
The obvious conclusion would be that we are a Kemlerite in a new body. Of course if Lara thinks that the obvious thing for her to do would be to inform Michael so he will deal with us. White court generally love to use catpaws and he is perfectly positioned and motivated if we were someone that had stolen Molly's body.

I mean it's not really that there is anything wrong with it, but the fact that she does have financial independence at age 17 is probably something Molly's parents are going to want to know about, especially when they see the luxury car in the garage.

It followed me home, can I keep it?
I mean that did happen....kinda.

I would lead with "I don't think that I need an allowance anymore."
Also if we plan on moving out at 18 maybe we should start house hunting now. We don't want to rent if we want to have a good threshold.

Added under character sheet, it's in a spoiler just above the XP.

She really benefits from further purchases of Willpower and Essence.
Doubt its applicable. The Whamps arent that uniformly pretty.
There are multiple occasions where Dresden has encountered Whamps, like the Skavis in White Night and Madrigal Raith in his Darby Crane persona, or Tania Raith as an assistant to a Chicago prosecutor, and never realized they were Whites until they broke cover. That wouldnt be possible if most Whites were supernaturally good looking.
We can use Black Mirror Incarnation to disguise ourself as a prettier or uglier form of ourself.
Its a 5 dot Favored charm, so 15xp.
This.
All/most Whites seem to be generally in the 90-99% percentile of good looks regardless of gender or House, and people like Thomas are basically 10s, but they are not supernaturally pretty.
A significant part of their attractiveness seems to be supernatural.
COMMENTARY
1)Loling at the rest of the auction.
Having 15k lying around of spare cash should be useful walking around money. Especially since we're going to start work on the Dragon Nest and its probably going to require buying and transporting raw materials for work down there.
Just stuff like scrap metal for power cabling is going to be interesting.
2)The dice have spoken. No poking Lara for the moment.
Though, given as we got access to McGregor's phone, we almost certainly have her phone number and maybe email, Lara's phone number and maybe email, and the numbers of at least several Whites.
That might come in handy in the future; if we want to possess the phone, we just need to make a phone call.
3)Molly now knows that IC that Whites have ears in a lot of places.
The level of infiltration it requires to know of goings on in an impound car lot is.....significant.
4)Handling Charity is still a longterm project, so we need to manage it. And it is entirely justifiable to not speculate.
Though Michael should probably have told her that her eldest child can apparently fly at will now.
So just the diamonds and waterwalking should be new.
DISCUSSION
Eh, Molly hasnt really had complex transport needs before, not as s city girl living at home.
She lives in Chicago, with significant winter events and snowfall, and a new line of work where multiple vehicles significantly impedes the ability of both enemy ops and law enforcement to track you by car movements.
She is shortly going to find out that she has a requirement for multiple vehicles.
Harry's ability to drive a VW bug in Midwest winters as his only vehicle is almost more incredible than his ability to use magic
I'm thinking.....~three cars and 1-2 Chevrolet Express/GMC Savanna cargo vans for transporting supplies to the Dragons Nest and carrying away loot from battle sites. Or people who may also be loot.
With cyberdevils inside, you can even have them move autonomously, at least at night. Color shifting paint might help.
PS
Replacing Charity's current minivan with a newer, safer minivan and Michael's current truck with a new one that isnt as recognizable to enemy opps is probably something that should be on the Christmas to-do list.
Toyota Sienna minivan and Toyota Tundra truck, probably. 2007 models.
Actually giving them second, less sensible cars waits for their birthdays.
Or Molly trying to distract attention
PPS
Always a buy a stationwagon as a backup car.
Even expensive ones like the Audis and Mercs(especially the Audis) go below the radar because they have an image as boring family cars, even when they can break 300km/hr on a highway. And they can seat five adults.
Minivans can seat more(7-8), but minivans arent fast.
I suggest upgrading the car with a few small cameras, repaint etc. So it can be a mobile spy
Also, tax implications.
As the person who does family financials, Charity is going to need to know who she can claim as dependents on the family's next tax declarations in order to avoid trouble with the IRS. Cant claim your teenage daughter as a dependant if she's also filing tax returns with greater net income than the rest of your household combined.
VOTE
[X]Just the gem-making for now, no need to overwhelm them
-[X]STUNT: Your parents look up from their conversation as you slip into the chair opposite them in the kitchen, almost but not quite sitting. You lean forward and spill the contents of your hand on the table between you, then adjust your position to sit crosslegged. A carat and half of diamond scrap lies on the counter between you, left over from your first foray as a jeweller. Charity freezes for a moment, then reaches out to touch one, before she looks up at you with wide eyes. "What is this Molly?" Michael is the first to speak, his voice inquiring. "The reason I think we need to talk about our tax obligations for next year." On the counter the diamonds wink in the light, refracting the sunlight against the wall.
RATIONALE
I've tried, but I cant think of a way to incorporate the Old Spice "your tickets are now diamonds"line into a stunt.
This is the best I can do.
More seriously, talking Charity over into a state of acceptance is a gradual process.
Not one thats helped by throwing too many things at her at once.
So take it easy. There's currently no rush.

She can so long as we don't claim ourself and still live in her house and eat her food she can. The IRS cares more about double counting dependants than it does about who is a dependant for who.Also, tax implications.

We end up losing a lot of tax deductions, but we don't really need to care about that sort of thing.
