It's not entirely serious, but fuckin really interrogating your help in the middle of them helping you using magic to make it easier for you to interrogate your help while they're helping you, are you serious?
They have been pretty spectacularly incompetent, but in fairness her question did have merit beyond annoying us.
This, it's true. Though there is a phrase that I feel completely encapsulate the situation needs must when the devil drives.
They're not idiots, even if they're suspicious of us it'd be foolish to blow off someone who helped you this much.
Poaching active members would cause problems, but we can absolutely use implications of that to get an in with unrealized wizards and high grade talents like sorcerers who already have issues with the council's halfhearted dominion over them anyway.
We could probably use their base as a focus to finding the names of all other wizard level talents that aren't part of the council. Would be using up a very useful focus though. Also we might forget the names as it'd be in the thousands and I have no idea how good our memory is. As the amount of wizard level talents in the world is probably double or so what they have if not a big more.
I assumed ARM was still baked in.
We don't need to? All we'd be doing is making more attack surfaces for enemies to exploit. There isn't reason to try taking over territory just for the sake of it and our people already have bases and the like. Just not on Earth.
Should be but this vote was put in an odd spot (we already voted on who to interrogate) so I'm not entirely sure.
We can't just field an army if we don't have it on earth. We also can't have them serving our goals if their not on earth. The fae have a fucking presence on earth you can't honestly say they don't benefit from that right? We could actively improve earth with our citizens help.
Why do you want armies on Earth all of a sudden?
to kill the armies trying to kill us eventually and actual power projection on earth which you know was the point of getting the charm.
When that time comes it'd be much more sensible to arrange a temporary portal rather than having to deal with the logistics of having standing armies on earth. Especially with the Masquerade still in effect. Taking that God into Sanctuary created a portal so we have options that don't necessitate we leave so many forces on earth in bases to be attacked.
even the fae have areas on earth if we're not going to do that we should give up on being a faction of any kind. Also we have no power that would allow that especially not in a reasonable time.
We shouldn't take territory for the sake of taking territory. We already have Last station and rights to a spot in Vegas if need be. We are already a faction. One that predominantly exist within the NeverNever like the vast majority of supernatural factions.
While I maybe don't agree about having standing armies on Earth we should definitely be accumulating territory here considering it's where Molly keeps all of her everything that matters to her and also she is kind of dependent on it existing essentially forever if she wants to live her full lifespan.
That's not actually true the bridge only happened because essentially we tried to recycle a god through our wheel we would need a God on the brink of death to open another portal like that and would need to be a god connected to the land like the Incan one.
If you want territory on earth you'll need to protect it from other factions and deal with the masquerade somehow. That means standing armies and troops.
The bridge happened because the god is tied to the land and can't leave. It had nothing to do with its near death status.
I mean I was more thinking various buildings just stocked with people living in or around them. Maybe even retrofit the undercity.
