Yes, but iirc the only Primordial "speak to anything/anyone" stuff was mostly just couched in terms of "force them to communicate in Old Realm like civilized individuals".

We should do this investigation, though I'm not sure this is the time to vote on it. I guess it doesn't do any harm to preload as long as we don't get distracted, but still.
That said, I think you should broaden that question for the languages. The targets are just foci; we don't need to rely on what they know specifically just what they were there for.
We also don't need to risk specifying number or type of language. Molly was probably speaking Old Realm for at least part of the fight, which is arguably a human language. We might end up only getting the Knight's outsider gibberish if anyone happened to hear him speak.
We should ask about something like the oldest/least known/ect. languages spoken here tonight instead, because then we'll probably get a list including both points if interest without nailing our results to anything too narrow.
That doesn't mean they used it themselves necessarily. They designed everything so they might have simply found it annoying if they had to deal with their tools deviating from spec.

Old Realm is also the language of Sorcery.
It might really be the root-language of all, built in the Primordial's design as the "real" language.

In which case learning sorcery might have taught us old realm without us even noticing.

Honestly think we're always gonna be a shit sorcerer simply cause choosing between attributes, charms, and magic is a shit show. Also other things that are useful like the sight and martial arts.

It's the problem with being a circle of 2. Especially when the second is a terrestrial Exalted. We don't really have anyone to properly delegate social, combat or crafting to.
I suppose we could delegate research to Lydia. We don't have academics as a key skill so it's possible for her to get better at it then us.
Also Bob is really good at arcane lore as well better than it is really worth us investing in being.

I suspect that circle of 2 is going to change eventually.
Either DP wants to make sure that every potential companion gets enough screentime and that's why the gathering is so slow, or we just haven't been hitting the right actions.

Would give up our left arm* for a sidereal circlemate. They make everything run so much smoother.
*Not that big a lose with MHM. Also our Hell makes replacements.

If you want to find circle mates look at the origin of your powers

Arc 8 Post 33: Broken Wicked Things
Broken Wicked Things
13th of November 2006 A.D.
"I hereby accept your surrender..." the words tingle on your lips, not in any otherworldly precognition but just the lingering shock of what had happened. That th... the Walker had killed himself and you his weapon of choice. It would be folly of course to ascribe human mentality to one such as that looking around the hall yet killed with the hue and thunder those only half a step to the left of wholly human makes that clear, but he had felt something, some need to continue his story or bookend it. Why? How? And how much easier would be be to resist Those Beyond if you understood.
Looking down you see the sprawled and bloody body of a murderer, killed by a kinslayer driven by an alien presence that seeks to break the world, or at least reshape it so fundamentally as to make human life impossible and you are left with the conviction that not only did they all have reasons, but that they were reasons that in the fullness of time you could understand.
Good thing I never believed ignorance is bliss or this would be a nightmare. A laugh, only a little hysterical escapes you, though one might perhaps mistake it for your reaction to Lydia's means of dealing with enemy vampires. Yes there was one other fellow strewn in her wake with both his elbows snapped whom you recognize from Lara's dossier, but at the moment she seems to be using a living wave of earth like an over-eager sheep dog to herd and part the crowd to drive before her beings with no real means to harm something which had never been alive, much less capable of emotion.
There is a certain hesitance in turning your full attention elsewhere, past splintered tables and broken porcelain. Lara isn't being entertaining, unless one's idea of a comedian is Jack the Ripper. Twisting someone's head backwards is a quick and efficient way to kill them, it is also intentionally terrifying, the veiled words and whispered threats that make up so much of the life of the White Court peeled back to make a point that cannot be denied: The White King, or at the very least House Raith, will not countenance treachery.
As you watch a woman with dark blond hair dyed in crimson strands rises up from where she had been hiding among the bodies, by more than mortal means spews out a glob of entropic magics that make her teeth fall out in the casting
With a contemptuous look at the energies Lara redirects them out the nearest window. "Was it worth the sacrifice for that?" She shakes her head. "Ah I see, they must have asked for your brains first." and then she cracks her skull open with a precisely placed pommel strike from her kukri. "No, still in there, must have been something else," she murmurs, murmurs you realize for the benefit of the still lurking elders who had not chosen a side, who else after all would hear comments in the middle of this chaos.
She turns to you, dress utterly ruined with blood. "Did you finish it?"

OOC: Yes Lara has counter-spelling, but it is not reflexive, it is her doge action which she has to declare as a multiple action since Celerity does not help with non-physical actions natively. She did not have it prepped on her first turn.

I was sort of hoping that we would have more Wamps to hunt down we have buffs running and an almost full essanse pool.

Oh god, I'm conflicted.
On the one hand, prestige in the supernatural community, which is no small thing. On the other hand, that will make Molly that much more of a target.
You know what, I'll flip a coin for this.
Edit: the dice has spoken!

We are getting our Kingdom charm soon. So might as well as start strong.
[X] Crown questions after the fighting ends

-[X] Using the body of the sacrifice "Who is the Empyreal Chaos spoken of by the being summoned through this sacrifice?"
-[X] Using the bodyguard "What were the plans of the being they fought alongside with and tried to protect?"
-[X] Using a random party goes of no importance "what was the non-human language heard by this person during the fight?"

Just ambiguous enough it could go either way. Hopefully, those who would take it badly won't and those who will take it positively will. Might want some workshopping.

Well if you want to claim credit here is a stunt
[][Stunt]He who walked unbowed has been humbled and will never walk again his name shall forevermore be in the past tense.

How about that?

Arguably not sharing has some value, but if a ballroom's contingent of elder vamps saw it already there isn't much of a point.
Might as well drive home that impression we were looking to make.

Exact opposite; would give one up to delay other exalts as much as possibly.
Showing respect to that thing is not a good PR move.
