Involuntary how, and how does it invalidate my vote? I'm a bit unsure of what you mean here. The vote is fine if it's always on.

He did at least have some impact just by raw appearance because appearance 5 is just like that, it is default distracting
[X] It seems I have the powers of a general or a despot and so it it within my reach to proclaim an pause on certain curses upon those who serve me so long as that service is true
You know, we are going to have a conversation with Harry where we explain that we have taken his brother into our service. Then Harry is going to rush over to Thomas to ask what is going on. Thomas is going to explain that we satisfy his hunger.
And Harry is going to be left with an extremely funny conclusion.

Heh, I'm in Seattle and have been there, and when I read that my thoughts were "Wait, Chicago has one too?!?"
So, what are you offering in exchange? We will take some top tier deep dish place to stick in that spot.
Sounds good I'll mark that one in my notes.
Funnily enough you were literally any other kind of Exalt that would work great actually, one dot of Essence goes a long way feeding vampires. White court do not even have an aversion to the sun so even a Solar would have worked. But as an infernal no one but the Scorpion Eater Wuan Kuei can drink your life without coming down with a very had case of 'I just tried to eat nuclear waste'.

That doesn't really help. One because it requires him to believe us; he might , but it's still a hurdle. Two because temptation is a classic for a reason. Offering a test drive of the company car has some pretty hefty implications built in.
Molly comes in prepared for battle and leaves with a shiny new fairy godmother.
Edit: merging double post.
Not sure he's totally happy about that, given the angler fish - giant squid metaphor there.
Congrats Thomas' demon partner; today you're the dog that caught up with the garbage truck. Don't break your teeth biting the wheel.

From Mab's perspective we likely would make a just about perfect winter lady. Molly in cannon actually became winter lady and we are even colder then Molly was.Molly comes in prepared for battle and leaves with a shiny new fairy godmother.
Exalted actually were about to take up positions in the heavenly bureaucracy. It was just they had very limited use for worship so they generally didn't get much out of it.

We couldn't take the Mantle though, even if we might take the role itself.

Well we can take the mantle, but it likely wouldn't do much for us. Might be able to use it for easy air conditioning.

I really don't think we should crashtest if a Fey-Mantle and a Celestial Exaltation are compatible, worst case something gets damaged, like the fragile almost-mortal in the middle.

What I am hearing is we should get perfect shaping defense first just in case.

[X] So, you know how I'm a kickass girl now? I'm apparently a kickass metaphysical tyrant girl with magical girl powers that work on funny concepts. If someone is recognized by... I don't know, the universal laws? to work under my authority, they are automatically put under the aegis of my protection. This includes protection from supernatural maladies, such as various types of vampiric hunger.
This works best, although I don't love any of the votes, so I might write my own later. I'll see how it goes.

Well, I admit I really don't want to be Mab's subordinate either, or take the duties of a Winter Lady.
But if we were to experiment a shaping defence is definitly a good idea.

Oh I don't want to be winter lady either. The position seems a bit beneath us. I am just saying what Mab likely wants. We are at least a backup she is considering.
Theoretical Exalted Winter Lady would actually be kind of terrible, as it'll immediately break the Summer-Winter balance and initiate what amounts to an apocalypse. Mab doesn't want that.
Exalts actually received pretty reasonable resource regen buff back in Exalted 1st/2nd Edition, but in ExWod it required a charmline and is still shit regardless. Sad. For infernals to receive benefits from Cults and Worship is very much in theme.
Maybe. Exalts cannot be posessed by scrub-level evil spirits, but Exalts can sell their souls and submit themself to invasive spiritual modifications. Some mantles might be compatible, as long as mantle in question is "light" enough to still leave an Exalt human underneath.
With SRP that would be 30+.

Some mantles might not, like the winter knight, since they don't necessarily require a fundamental species change. The winter lady does constantly try to force one on you though, so it would probably get bounced like a vampiric infection.
Or worse, eaten like loose magic. The political consequences of that would be pretty spicy.
Edit:
Incidentally, this is another potential reason to go after the red court. They ate/imprisoned some gods a while back, which means they have some juicy divinity hanging around somewhere to wring out.
I wouldn't want to take a charm set given by an existing god for political and potential metaphysical influence reasons, but eating a bat monster high on god power to make custom charms from whatever their portfolio was sounds like fair game to me.
The only question is if wearing around their fangs on a necklace afterwards is too tacky to get away with or not.

I think it's just the right amount of nievite so that we look like someone who has inherited a powerful mantle, but is still a regular person with morals who understands the significance of what they have become. Which is basically the truth!

Something I find weird is that Infernals seem to be overly supplied with ways to get and boss around minions, but I can't find any leadership or army command charms. Don't they do anything with all their minions?

For one you can train them to be cultists or battle-mooks, you can shove demons in them to give them all sorts of weird and wacky abilities. I think the idea is that an Infernal's underlings are disposable or at least less important than any essence they might use for command charms. It's the Solars who are the virtuous warrior-philosophers, Infernals are the villain sending wave after wave after the heroes.
Frankly the Solar ability to make mages at will makes them the best, and most powerful minion makers. On top of also being the best leaders.
