Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Reader mode
Yog said:
Updated my plan. The following changes have been implemented:
1) Added loaning Harry the artifact as a free action. He just got enlightened. Let him play with his new abilities.
2) Added the following crown questions:
---[] What does Mab know concerning the subject of your exaltation? (use the recording of your talk with Mab when she referred to you as Green Sun)
---[] Who was Hollow Man referring to when he offered to tell Molly of other people like her in exchange for his life? (use record of his word)
---[] How (by what means) has Mikaboshi seized the power from its previous owner? (use freed Wicked City slaves)
3) Switched babysitting for Rosie to settling in and securing Mendozas. We can get professional caregivers, both from the courts and from Earth quite easily with money and status. And this is likely to be part of the convention vote anyway. So, no need for additional AP spending right now.

The one we won from the raksha who slums with the Mothers. The Dark Rider, which is a canon Exalted artifact. It is important for two reasons: it contains orichalcium, it's an object from Age of Legends, and as such can be usef as a focus for a question like "where are the objects/beings older than this one?".

Arc 15 interlude 1: A Network Arcane New
  • Threadmarks
    • A Network Arcane ​

    27st of February 2007 A.D.

    Designing an online presence for minor practitioners turns out to be easy in one sense, building off the skeleton of mailing lists chat rooms and forums popping up all over the internet to deal with the fact that some people really do see the world differently. The problem is filtering out the cranks convinced the government found aliens and is keeping them in Area 51... out of a lack of imagination or something. Well OK, that is not entirely fair, Pursuer of Diligent Scholarship admitted to herself the lines were blurry, sometimes people just misinterpreted what they saw though the lens of preexisting biases and other times the trauma warped memories out of shape. 'Greys' were easier to deal with than the Sidhe, late-surviving pterosaurs are easier to deal with than dragons, 'Satanist Cults' a simpler answer than the Vampire Cults.

    Organization was key to spreading the word, but for far too long in the era before the internet organization had a been a target painted on one's back, at least that's what IRIS said and she might not know much about earth humanity, but she'd spent years understanding the various tribes of Sanctuary's upper green belt and now months taking in entire libraries of publicly available research and some not so public. According to the SUTRA the White Council managed to get away with growing into a world wide organization because the magic of wizards was just so powerful so widely applicable as to make up for the fact that human magicians were fragile, both physically and in their attachments to family and friends, lacking the metaphysical bonds of loyalty and control that held together the other powers including those that hunted humans.

    Iris had even managed to come up with a mathematical model for how large an organization like the Order of the Cauldron could get relative to the surrounding population density as well as the nearness to other supernatural power centers before they would suffer erosion, subversion or collapse.

    It was, to put it lightly not encouraging reading. Truth be told after the talks she had with Olivia and knowing how badly the Council had been subverted she had been ready to find that the Council was part of the pressure, maybe by plucking out some of the most talented magicians or even more sinister mechanisms, but nothing so simple was happening. To see the secret world to know it and accept the knowledge you had to be some kind of outcast. From the Alphas to Mortimer Lindquist to Gentleman Johnny Marcone the lesson this world either taught or enforced was 'taking care of your own', a kind of tribalism that could be benign to the individual but hampered collective action and trust.

    Unable to just make everything public because... of course they couldn't, that was what Nemesis wanted, Pods and her technological helpers focused on setting up a trusted pseudonymous system, one that could handle person to person messages and regional alerts. Ideally it would also have some way to pass money since that was very often the sticking point in getting someone out of a bad situation, but as as somewhat amused Gard had pointed out when they had gone to speak to her about the project that was a problem everyone from arms dealers to revolutionaries and rebels to the mob had tried and failed to fully solve. So they settled on creating a network that was fully enmeshed with data demons, or maybe one should call them daemons just to sound less sinister, which could be accessed from anywhere on earth with an internet connection which was part introductory course to magic and part mechanism to 'meet other supernaturals in your area'. F you Isabela, for putting that comparison into my head. So far very few people who used the system had availed themselves of more than the introductory resources, but very few was not none and as the advice would prove useful and more organic help started to flow Sophia was confident the platform would see greater adoption.

    So far they had contacts in Vegas from the Cult of Ra Descending and the new lord of the city as well as from Boston among those their other self had helped out, the Alphas were moderators they had even managed to get Mortimer Lindquist on board. One might argue that giving Marcone an in as a user was questionable, but the whole point of the platform was to be public, he'd find out soon enough anyway and at least this way they would be able to keep an eye on him.

    OOC: Some of the information from last month while you guys continue to vote. Iris did a lot of the heavy lifting when it came to setitng up the network. Also you might want to think of a name for it.

    I still think we should put a serious amount of money into making some supernatural friendly media for public consumption. TV programs, "urban fantasy" books, TTRPGs, etc. that tell fictional stories but which includes 100% truthful information about the supernatural.

    Strengths and weaknesses of common supernatural predators, the importance of thresholds, how to avoid making shitty bargains with faeries, demons, etc., the Laws of magic, all of it.

    Put the information out there so that it is easily available, make it all part of an interconnected setting, then we can just point people toward an information database disguised as a fan-made supernatural wiki page.

    For extra thoroughness, we could try to foster cosplay into the setting to provide ablative armor against inadvertent and deliberate masquerade breaks.

    Look what publishing the Dracula book did to the Black Court.

    Too early, too little funding, too little setup.There's a ton of things people are proposing that might be useful but would straight up require years of investment and set up to try.

    And other things that should be frankly impossible without either starting a war, or straight up running face first into existing laws and setting conventions. Like trying to create a god of a city where the Fae have literally anchored a fundamental aspect of their power balance, in a setting where the White God told most gods to fall back.

    As for putting information out there, its worth remembering that information is dangerous here.
    Even Harry, who literally has Magic And You pamphlets in his office, is not especially chary about it.

    Not just because the information itself can be dangerous(), but because there is an undue percentage of humanity that would try to use it to harm others, or to benefit themselves at the expense of others.
    And we are no government.

    Remember that the other person who wants as much information out there as possible?
    Is Nemesis and its bosses.
    It dosnt want to do so for the benefit of humanity, or the other species here.

    I would like to see how much political capital the Fae Courts consider worth loosing with us to stop that from happening. Especially since we have Grand Favors with both. Should be interesting, though I wouldn't just assume that they'd go hostile from the start. Chicago is still a human city.

    It's not something that needs to happen overnight. It could be a process, one taken in steps over a period of years. Maybe start with a book series or trading card game, whip up heightened interest in it, manipulate ratings and sells through means fair and foul, and so on. It's 2007, we can ride the Twilight wave.

    And funding wouldn't really be an issue. We could find the money, either from a lottery win, ISIS raided Red Court accounts, sell of diamonds, etc. Money goes a bit further in 2007 than it does in 2024.

    Just because we could use this to share real information doesn't mean we need to share everything.

    Court media and actually using our movie studio should be good first steps. We'll expand from there. Hearts and Minds are important, yes.

    Hopefully making the network less vulnerable to subversion by Mikaboshi ... but also making the demons themselves more vulnerable to capture, subversion, or interrogation by him.

    And I still want to see the effects of the hope plague

    Winter's Grand Favors have explicit carve outs for their duties.
    And Chicago-above-Chicago is critical for the ability of the Courts to exchange ascendance and power every couple seasons.
    Plus, there's the whole White God told every god to butt out and made it stick.

    Basically, Chicago is not free real estate, and trying to do this sort of thing is the sort of stuff that, in my opinion, would come with pushback even before you trid.
    Or more hilariously, result in some angel showing up when you finish and telling the newborn god to butt out.

    Which I would find funny, mind, but would probably result in some players complaining.

    Its my opinion that you underestimate the difficulty involved, even in the abstract.
    Never mind when you have actual immortal antagonists trying to fuck with you and your plans, or trying to hijack them to their own purposes. Its a major plot thread that Nemesis has been trying to raise interest in occult shit.


    Funding really is an issue.
    We get ONE lottery win, which is why we've waited so long till we could grab a big one, and its going to take time to grow that seedcorn into a large enough legal fortune to wield as a tool.

    You cant flood the market with diamonds without crashing it and raising questions about your own diamond sources; thats why we've remained lowkey.

    You can just steal money electronically either; banking transfers, and the whole financial industry require records.
    Money on that scale cant just change hands without drawing a lot of notice, and illicit transactions can be reversed. Especially when you are doing it in countries where they own the levers of control.

    And the Red Court is invariably invested in normal human companies whose collapse would cause actual economic harm to lots of people. I mean, canonically Arianna Ortega was Harry Dresden's office landlord; a real estate company she owned owned the office building where Harry's detective business was based.
