*We use NWS, lights up light a Christmas tree made by Ligier*

Could I just note the Ligier's light is the best example of Primordials making physics cry in the corner?
This example has been living in my head rent-free for quite a while.
Ligier's light casts no shadows.
Ligiers light pierces all, stone and flesh alike.
So how the f... can you see by Ligier's light?
What we see is reflected light, but His light doesn't get reflected, it just pierces all things except for Erembour's shadow perfectly.
That really shouldn't make any sense, everything in His light should be invisible.
But Ligier doesn't care how light and sight are supposed to work, so it just does.
Edit: And I forgot that light also get reflected/bundled in your eyes, so you should see nothing if His light isn't affected by your eyes?

His light is not affected by your eyes, but your eyes are affected by his light. Yes I know logic does not work like that, no it does not matter.

I mean, it's not any stranger than the fact that The Divine Ignition was the first primordial, but Oramus was still waiting for her when she appeared, he wasn't the first, he just was there before her.
[X] This is about as good as it is going to get, take Rosie out for a coffee so she does not have to deal with this at least for the rest of today

-[X] Don't NWS Jared
We know the parents reaction to their daughter getting molested by one of dad's work friends is to brush her off aka the sadly too realistic reaction. I don't see any reason to pry, our goal is just to get Rosie out ASAP. I don't like how flashy (edit sp) Molly ended up here. Ideally we would've done just enough for them to go "yeah sure. Sg" and then forget us. Molly being memorable here is bad

If she had rolled more successes being more subtle about it would have been an option, but she rolled enough to succeed without complications, not add bells and whistles to it.
Seeing as Naked Wicked souls us the use of resources (essence) and the potential use of time it does not count as a stunt and so per the rules on the front page the 'no' votes count with the nul votes, making this a simple go for coffee' vote '
Arc 8 Post 3: To Swing Away
To Swing Away
3rd of November 2006 A.D.
"Come one, lets get a coffee..." On your way out of the house you meet Jared's watery gaze, your power itching to look into the shadows on his soul. What does Jared Wilson, most regret, what's his shame? There is certainly no lack of speculation in your mind's eye, but shame isn't guilt or sin. As weapons in the arena of words that one is more of a shotgun with anything and you do not hunt skunks with shotguns.

Though you do get the drink in question the Starbucks doesn't hold you long, half empty at this hour on a Friday might and filled with curious looks and worse yet the beefy back of a reddish neck that marks Colin from school. Seven foot two and broad enough to still look squat, a perpetual squint on his face from refusing to wear glasses and a buzz cut that leaves only a down or blond hair on the top of his head Colin is proof manifest that you should not judge a book by its cover... unfortunately in this case it is because he is the worst and probably most malicious gossip on school and he happens to know Rosie from before. Having any kind of talk with him in earshot is a guarantee you are going yo hear three versions of it by breakfast, all of them unflattering.
Since you are not quite petty enough to evict him from the premises you and Rosie decide to find some other out of the way place to talk. After a bit of a drive you eventually decide on Humboldt Park over on the West Side, mostly for the pair of swings you spy with no kids nearby.
"Watch this," you mutter under your breath as the seat you're on takes a bit of a green glow
"Molly!" Rosie's laugh is muffled with laughter. "Someone's going to see this!"
"Just a trick of the light," you offer with a wink. "That or the Little Folk, either way no one's going to bother us."
For a few minutes you just swing before your friend breaks the silence: "So we're really doing this. Me working for you... you know truth time I actually thought of saying no, but it's not just for me is it?" Her hand drifts towards the obvious baby bump. "I just hope I can do something useful."
"Don't worry about it, really don't..." you add when you see her look dubious. "I see a lot of George Washington these days, but me and him are not in a committed relationship you know."
"George Washing..." she gets the joke and laughs a little.
"I could make that diamond from Titanic, the Heart of Leonardo DiCaprio or whatever. It's other stuff I 's short on, favors, information access to magical libraries that are more recent than the Bronze Age."
"That is a no on the diamond though if you could magic up Leonardo DiCaprio I wouldn't say no," she giggles, then just kind of stops looking somber.
For your part you had been bracing for Usum to explain some dreadful means to clone Hollywood stars, but thankfully he seems to have gotten that she isn't serious from context. Progress. Now if only Rosie were inclined to say what's bugging her... "Come on spill."
"It's nothing," she says quickly, familiar territory
"It's not nothing."
"It's stupid." She starts to swing.
"I'll be the judge of that," you say in your best mock-stern voice.
"Talking like this, it got me thinking of before..." she sighs and says again. "I remembered how excited we all were at maybe going to the World Horror convention in Toronto next year and now there isn't any all left, just me and you and I'm going to have a three month old baby by then. It's all changed hasn't it?"
What do you reply?
[] Nannies exist. Do you remember being three months old? I don't, the baby will be fine, won't even know you were gone
Promise to go to World Horror Con next March
[] Yeah they have. Listen did Sandra ever say anything odd to you... or just anything that sticks out in your mind? It could be important.
Question Rosie about Sandra Marling, potential pawn of Nemesis
[] Write in
OOC: Had a bit of time, figured you guys could use another post since the last update was pretty slow.

I'm not sure what we should say, but I think we shouldn't grill her. It seems a bit pointless.
And stressful. We can afford to look into other foci. Hell, use one of the photos of us with her and ask "what does the person in this photo know about Sandra Marling". @DragonParadox would that burn Rosie in her entirety as a focus, or only the photo?
It would burn the photo, but the question would not give you as many details as a full conversation on the subject would.
True. But on the balance, that's better. We can track her without resorting to asking Rosie. And yes, it's infantilizing her, but she's a mostly normal kid, in a bad situation, who's pregnant and whose world is rapidly shifting. She doesn't need the stress.

-[X] Later, use one of your photos with Rosie to see what she knows about Sandra Marling
-[X] Ask Rosie if she wants to meet some of the younger Order of Cauldron members
Try and expand her social circle a bit.

Another horror-con sounds like a terrible idea.
Lots of bad memories all around, a dead boyfriend and two mind-damaged friends and so on. Also lots if Fetches givin some nightmares.
Not that Rosie can't have fun anymore after the child, but that particular event pushes all the wrong buttons.
