[X] A slight detour from wizard diplomacy as you talk to Lash about what she is looking for in a body so the plans can simmer at the back of your mind
I am curious as to what Lash has to say, and I am doubly curious about what we can do. There's a theoretical "they will scry on us" fear, but that's paranoia speaking, and it would be a huge misstep for them to do so in our place of power.

Well okay then. Can't wait to see what sort of mad magical experimentation comes out of this.
So does inspiring a crush and potentially new approaches to one's favored element in the same conversation count for or against us with the older wizards that sent him as a test?

Role play wise we get so much milage out of Bridget's heir even if we don't actually buy much sorcery.

Maybe just a step closer to his next Dot of Arete.
"...Right. Standard White Court protocol for this one. Nobody is to be alone with her, no pairs should be alone with her, and we should focus diplomatic efforts by sending the more seasoned of our number."
"What about McCoy's boy?"
"...He's McCoy's boy. A lost cause by this point in a certain sense, but if she tries anything too bad he'll probably take her out with him."

Just might as well. I don't feel like we need to use powerful social on her, but I do want a better idea of what she is going to do once she gets a body. Our current read on her isn't nearly as much as I would like. I want to know her intimacys.

That's kind of boring though; it'd be a lot more fun if it was insight to buffing spells or something else unusual for the DF.

Another boring option would be that he simply starts to think more of non-entropic water spells and develops some Rotes in that direction.

OK at this point I have to ask: @DragonParadox are we in the Old World of Darkness? Or in the Chronicles of Darkness? I know you've linked before to various abilities, but I'm asking about themes and concepts here.
Are we dealing with ancient immortals and supernaturals whose powers have shaped the world from shadow like in the Old World of Darkness?
Or Supernatural beings that are just an ecosystem that has existed alongside humanity since before history began like in the Chronicles of Darkness?
Or both?

We are in Dresden Files, where it's unfortunately canon or damn close to it that the White God is the closest thing to a true god and creator-deity of the world.

That really does not answer my question because I was asking the author about the themes of this quest. Not whether we are playing by Dresden Files rules. We obviously are for the most part.
Well the Red Court control much of Latin America, the White Court have significant pull in North America and Europe, but on the other hand the US government seems to have some supernatural protections even if they are of mixed quality. So in conclusion supernatural conspiracies exist, but not on the sheer scale of OWoD, plain old vanilla humans can make a significant impact on the setting.
[X] Weapons inspection with Harry... and while you are at it figure out what weapons are safe for the away team to take with them back to Chicago
I don't see any reason to believe there's a materiel problem with talking about the body stuff, but I do think staying on task would be good in and out of character.
We have plenty of time to go over options for Lash's body after the wizards are handled, and won't be able to really act on anything until they are anyway, so there's no benefit to rushing.

Im assuming Molly brings one or more of the wizards out every couple days so that they can check in with Edinburgh by phone.
Well, Molly really rocked his world here. Thats on some You Could Be More bullshit; indeed, if Molly was a Solar with that charm, she would have probably inspired some major Arete and Sphere changes.
Maybe not Arete, but definitely Spheres; if I had to guess from that conversation, Correspondence, Forces, Life, Prime and Entropy are all candidates.

This looks like the most natural narrative segue of the options, just so Molly has some of this in the back of her head as she goes about other things. Also, its been about two weeks since Molly brought Lash over to the Brass Courts; she brought her over Nov 29, and its currently December 13. A look in seems like a reasonable IC move.
And it allows Molly to give Dresden an update on her condition when she sees him next.

More a broadening of his paradigm if you ask me. Probably looking at an increase in one or more Spheres, I think.

Her dad isn't around, so this is Molly's chance to convince Harry that age is just a number...
What do you mean we're actually inspecting weapons?! They're safe, take my word for it.

Let's not talk to Lash while the wizard delegation is here please.

Let me put it this way, speaking about water, while under the effects of Boiling Sea Mastery from her makeup Molly was having... sea thoughts, the kind that march against the flame.
