-[X] "In the whispers of the spirits in the dark corners of the world and in the words of mighty gods I hear, and tell you now - The Wheel of Ages is turning. it is given to me to turn impossible into inevitable, and to see that it turns to Glory instead of Ruin" you speak, your tone shifting from a concpirational almost-whisper to a bold and clear cadence that carries across the station. With a grand gesture, carefully articulated to attract attention to what you are pointing at, you present to your guests what you have built - stone and people both: "Look around you, and understand my goal. To ensure that people aren't ground into to dust, to make them see - they can be more. To build a better, brighter world, one life and brick a time".

[X] Plan A Well Told Truth
"I want the world and everything in it" would be a fun answer but I fear Morgan and Co won't be able to take it mentally. Not only because they are predisposed against such things but because I'm pretty sure Molly's Exaltation is going to flare up and do a whole music number by itself showing visions of godlike beings carving the Outside into Creation.

We should probably spend willpower here too, since this is a significant part of this whole operation.
This is getting a little grand even for us. We've gotten hints of the wheel of ages, but IC we barely know what that means and don't really benefit from weaving doomsday prophecies into our diplomatic platform anyway.

How did willpower end up being spent?

[x]World preservation, anti denarian work, and finding ways to use my power to make this side of the world... kinder. The negative lottery of finding out you're ghoul blooded makes being part of mainstream society pretty difficult for example. I can't provide alternatives to people who aren't working for me, so I'm going to need to build up to provide plenty of job openings.
That's the sort of goal that makes you sound crazy and self destructive IC. Nobody is going to believe that's possible until after they've seen that happen, but they could easily come to believe we're going to explode all over the world as it stands trying.
+1 Success on the deception, it was the difference between Wu Min noticing and not.

COMMENTARY
Wait, how did Wu Min stonewall Molly's social Perception *checks* ah.
I assumed we had All Things Betray running; apparently not.
Thats an oversight.
We have Subterfuge 3, Leadership 3. And both are Key Abilities.
We should probably remember to get those up to 4-5 soon.
Especially if we have any intention of further high-stakes diplomacy.
Similarly, see Appearance and how it works passively on people.
Worth noting what Morgan can be expected to know about Molly at a minimum:
- Molly's school records. There may or may not be a record of disciplinary issues
- She has a juvenile criminal record for drug possession; probably sealed at 18, but its trivial for wizards to get the details
- Molly's kidnapping to Winter by a bunch of fetches; Dresden was one of the people who got her out.
- Her father is the senior serving member of Heaven's direct action arm
- Her association with Lydia Rhi, teenage daughter of an old god turned Winter vassal
- Molly having the juice/connections, resources and goodwill to put Einherjar in the field at short notice. A short platoon of supernatural mercs operating in Chicago wouldnt have been covert, Murphy probably told the Librarians about it
- Her....kinetic dispute with a war party of Kakuri. The shen of Chicago noticed the killings, and we did send lesser akuma PoWs to the Library. Plus, Brother Dev lives with a member of the Venator Umborum, who are Council allies.
- Her working with the White Court's leadership to enact a purge of the Skavis leadership
- Everything we told the Merlin; he's Langtry's dude, and the Wardens of the Merlin's escort do report to him.
He probably doesnt know about Molly's dealings with Winter, since Mab and Maeve appears to have gone to some effort to keep the members of their Court from casually gossipping about it.
And Dresden's debt to Mab appears to have never been public knowledge.
And even though the missing plane made the news, he appears to not be aware of Molly's road trip to Mexico. Yet.
When viewed in that light, BronzeTongue's writein seems to strike a reasonable balance.
And probably best fits the picture drawn by her involvement with a Knight of the Cross, a White Council wizard, a Shih monk and some members of Chicago's minor talent community at one end, while making deals with the White Court and
At 18.
