Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

We should pencil in a bunch of healing potions for Rosie soon. Recovery from pregnancy can suck even without a c-section. We can just let her skip it entirely, and probably recover better than is naturally possible.

OOC: Congratulations it's a girl, also nothing made the DC on the event dice to think it's a good day for baby-napping.
I don't know, it sounds like everyone had the wits+streetwise to know what would happen if they tried to me. :V
 
[X] Someone new
-[X] Watchful Attendant of New Dreams


Watchful Attendant of New Dreams is a new soul, and yet someone tracing their ancestry to the Noosphere of the Courts. The most precise way to describe their origin is to think of them as a potential given shape and purpose by the will of her Empress. What purpose? Why, they are a nanny, attendant, a teacher and companion, meant to stay by the side of the Empress's godchild, to be their playmate and tutor, to heal their ills and educate them of the world around them, and, if needed, to call for help when help is required. Capable of telepathic communication, WAND is able to understand their charges' needs since the moment of their birth, and long before proper language is learned. The ability to directly communicate with technology allows them to learn and grow as needed to fulfill their duty, which they find sacred.

Emanations can soak lethal damage, but not aggravated.
Select either the Umbra or the Underworld. This is the emanation's native home. It may roam freely in its native realm, where it enjoys the natural ability to converse with the other native denizens and to navigate without undue difficulty (in the Umbra, this amounts to having the Charm Airt Sense, while in the Underworld it amounts to having several dots of Argos). The phantasm may manifest in the physical world only while within one hundred yards of its keystone, or within ten yards of its master. It must pay one Willpower to remain manifest for a scene. It may pay one Willpower to immediately teleport to its master's or keystone's location.
If the phantasm's master the emanation's name, the Arcana hears her words wherever it may be. If she commands the ephemera to attend her, it may teleport to her master's location and manifest without paying any Willpower. If the keystone is destroyed, the phantasm is also destroyed. If the emanation is slain, it may reform one hundred years later within its keystone. Each point of Essence fed into the keystone by its master quickens this recovery by 10 years.
If the emanation's master has learned The King and the Kingdom: The Thousand and First Hell, the phantasm may treat its master's Hell as a keystone.
Ephemera are always otherworldly, disturbing beings with demonic features of some sort that cannot be mistaken for as human.
The Arcana can project its thoughts into the minds of other nearby people to communicate with them. It can communicate with its master across up to (Arcana rating x 100 miles) of distance. By spending a point of Willpower, it can also receive communications from someone… or, to put it another way, it actively reads their surface thoughts for the rest of the scene. The target can always sense this, and can shut the Arcana out by spending a point of Willpower.
The Arcana has most likely has a machine-mind, though it might also have some other quirk like a technological spirit having been bound into it during its creation. Whatever the case, the difficulty of all the Arcana's Computer rolls are reduced by two.
The Arcana gains three additional dots of Mental Attributes, which may increase its traits to 6. Taking this Feature a second time provides only two bonus dots, but raises the permitted cap to 7.
The Arcana gains three additional dots of Social Attributes, which may increase its traits to 6. Taking this Feature a second time provides only two bonus dots, but raises the permitted cap to 7.
You remember, with perfect detail, things you see and hear.
Documents, photographs, conversations, etc., can be committed
to memory with minor concentration. If you as the player forget
an important piece of information the Storyteller believes your
character would recall, the Storyteller will jog your memory.
Under stressful conditions involving numerous distractions,
you must make a Perception + Alertness roll to concentrate
and absorb what your senses detect.
While all fae are conscious of the bonds of oaths, for you
it's almost of a religious nature. Whenever you're overwhelmed,
the thought of your duties is enough to give you the strength
to persevere. In game terms, you reduce the difficulty of rolls
pertaining to the fulfillment of your oaths by three. Similarly,
the power of your sense of duty may be sufficient to allow
temporary immunity to other supernatural effects (Storyteller's
discretion). No Willpower may be spent on actions having to
do with the breaking of oaths. This is not cumulative with the
effects of the Merit True Love (see p. 186), though it can be
combined for purposes of roleplaying.
You have a sixth sense warning you of danger. When in
danger, the Storyteller will make a roll against your Perception
+ Alertness; the difficulty depends on the remoteness of the
danger. If the roll succeeds, the Storyteller will say you have a
sense of foreboding. Multiple successes may refine the feeling
and give an indication of direction, distance, or nature.

So, not a combat arcana, but a nanny, an attendant, a teacher. Someone and something to ease the process and minutae of motherhood for Rosie, and someone to help Amanda always.

Any other ideas? @DragonParadox right now Last Station should be in downtime from making of Lash, and would be for two (I think) weeks still, is that correct? How would we go about making something like this?

Yep, you are 2/2 and a half weeks from being able to use the station, but you did assign the action to be with Rosie for this month so if you choose this some of that time will go into making the arcana towards the end of the month

Is the design in principle viable? I know that Arcana have to have a keystone, but I figure that we could either make some sort of mark or a pendant for little Amanda.
 
[JK] Something mundane
-[JK] Write in: a music box playing the wail and lamentations of Molly's enemies, to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider
 
Think of it this way:
The White God created the three Swords, with loyal angels inside them, to counter the holders of the Thirty Coins.
He didnt do so for the Yama Kings.
The Yama Kings don't even exist in Dresden files canon...

Don't want to burn resources on something the baby doesn't particularly need over one of Molly's defenseless human friends from school. Makes no sense unless we are also going out of our way for the rest or think someone is targeting the baby in specific. If something changes then sure but it's not like Molly's friends haven't been a target of BS and yet we haven't given them much of anything since then.

I think we should definitely give the flute from Mab. Maybe we can look into stuff from Sanctuary?
@DragonParadox Does Sanctuary have anything interesting for childcare, or even a few interesting but not too strange looking baby toys?

There is a lot of quality of life stuff, but since babies are so rare in absolute terms pretty much everything made for a baby tends to be high end, whether it is in the form of technology, materials or even artistic carvings. A crib made on Sanctuary is likely to be something like 'silverfish bone carved into arcane fractals to conjure protection and good luck'.
