EarthScorpion: Okay, so, what do you want to get done this session?
Aleph: Probably just this conversation, since this is a big character thing that we've been leading up to for... quite a while. Hmm. Do you have any idea where this is going to go? That is, where it's going to end up?
EarthScorpion: Eeeeeeeeeh. I mean, I sort of know what everyone wants out of it, but some of that isn't directly gameable, per se. I mean, it's Sasi-Testolagh stuff. And there does seem to be a fair amount of instability there, where things could go wrong in various ways.
Aleph: Yeah, thought so. Welp! Let's see what happens!
Aleph: Heh. The fun thing is... Keris could TLA Testolagh at any point. But she has to actually have a reason to do it. He'd need to earn the seed of her love the normal way before she went all in like that.
...
Aleph: Wait, are Sasi's eyes grey or iridescent?
EarthScorpion: Grey with an iridescent sheen, as per what the mana locusts do to you. Since she keeps LSD up most of the time, she hides it.
Aleph: Ah, gotcha.
...
Aleph: Uh
Aleph: it occurs to me
Aleph: that soon after Calesco's "birth", she took a message to Sasi of her own accord
Aleph: and Keris's compassionate side is definitely interested in what Testolagh is saying, and wants to hear more and discuss it with him
Aleph: and Keris hasn't actually forbidden her from going
Aleph: So Testolagh may show up going "okay, we need to talk" sooner than Keris expects. : P
EarthScorpion: Well, it depends. If puberty sneaks up on Calesco, certainly.
EarthScorpion: (next time on the Keris Telenovella)
Aleph: Testolagh: "So I was ambushed in my dreams by a twelve-year old who talked to me about moral philosophy for several hours and then told me to shut my eyes while she looked at my heart."
Keris: *morbid interest* "Did you?"
Testolagh: "She implied that you hadn't, so yes."
EarthScorpion: Poor Testolagh. High Compassion, high Conviction, high Temperance, high Valour.
Aleph: Ouch
EarthScorpion: He'd be so much happier as a Solar. As soon as he realises that the Oramus oath stuff is a possibility, he may even branch out from Malfeas.
Aleph: Vali: "... I think I like him, too."
Haneyl: "You and Cally agreeing on a person? There's a first."
EarthScorpion: Haneyl: "His fire
is pretty, too! Mama! Learn more fire things so my fire can be better than his!"
EarthScorpion: And oh, Calesco. She has an... interesting relationship with Temperance.
...
EarthScorpion: Heh. So I tried sketching a sziromkerub today.
EarthScorpion: I realised that... uh, their heads are basically floral Halloween lanterns.
Aleph: : D
...
[after the split session resumed]
EarthScorpion: So, where were we? Keris had had the talk (not the Talk, she already knows about that) with Sasi and Testolagh, and basically the two of them got played by Sasi who really wants to keep both her toyboy and her mistress. : p
Aleph: And then they turned round and started scheming against her... uh... scheming, and Calesco decided she likes Testolagh and probably went off to visit his dreams of her own accord, since Keris has formed a two-dot of, hmm, "Cautious Respect" for him.
Aleph: Oh yes, one thing Keris definitely did want to do pre-Calibration was to ask Sasi to poke at her trinket and see if she could find a way to record memories on it. Or at least film things.
...
Aleph: zanaraaaaaa
EarthScorpion: Hee. Zanara doesn't have much time for how silly Calesco can be. If she was less silly, she could spend more time on art.
