Green Flame Rising (Exalted vs Dresden Files)

Lily: currently losing her memories, may experience death of personality in several months.
Molly: let's wait with this for a month or two, I want for my gift to have a symbolic meaning.
Yeah, ok, that's fair. Too alarmist, really (we saw how mantles work in canon, she is under no threat of death of personality, and she isn't losing memories), but overall a fair point.
 
Changing my vote because I completely forgot about Lily. I hope ya'll are mentally prepared for BS to get involved if he decides to.
[X] Plan Really Fulfilling Our Obligations
 
Ok, I am convinced. Handle ongoing crises now, But we really, really should talk to good brother Divsimar soon. Next turn for sure. And start handling Harvard if we do take that opportunity. Really, I am very tempted to push for Splintered Gale Incarnation next turn. We need more AP.

[X] Plan Really Fulfilling Our Obligations
 
Bonus AP can be used to extend actions, not initiate new ones. The decision was made to prevent time progression grinding to a halt.
Okay plan updated. Not using any extra actions, since nothing I see available currently interests me, especially not seeking out Broken Seeker.

Is training with Brother D considered a continuation of our time with him or is that also a new action for voting purposes?

[X] Fulfilling Obligations and Making Arrangements
-[X] Attend school
you have friends at school and you would like the memories of senior year and graduation even if they won't be teaching you anything worthwhile
-[X] The Other side of the Mirror: Explore and secure Nevernever areas corresponding to the Last station
-[X] A friend in need. You promised Rosie that you would help and so you will, with problems material and ethereal
--[X] Welcoming your Godchild: Rosie is due to give birth on the 10th, help her welcome the baby and settle in
-[X] Viva Las Vegas: Thanks to Maeve you now know where Sandra is, a pity that is not on a tropical island where you can bag her and have a party afterwards. Instead it's in some kind of supernatural fortress on top of what she called a fraying in the fabric of reality, or a thing that doesn't belong... bitch.
-[X] The Bridges of the Spirit, continue your training with Brother Divsimar not in the ways of the spirit but the mind, the Bridge of Dreams
-[X] If he's interested, give Brother Divsimar a tour of the courts
-[X] 1 AP to investigate its nature with him if he's willing
-[X] Higher Education: According to Od... that is Donar Vadderung Cambridge Massachusetts is in in a power void at the moment, one that given the power and influence certain factions of the unseen world could acquire by getting their hooks into the students early could be a lot of trouble down the road. On the other hand that very fact could be of great use to you. Check it out, see if you can establish a presence there. After all it is quite close by water.
-[X] Cauldron Bubble, your new friends in the Ordo Lebetis could use more help, maybe not as... enthusiastic as the last time, but they are small fish in a very big and scary pond
--[X] Online presence, one of the few advantages of minor talents over more powerful magicians is that they are more up to date with technology and less likely to make it explode. See if you can convince the others to set up a strong online presence, maybe even recruiting

I really don't like the idea of talking to Broken Seeker, it just invites trouble we don't need. It wouldn't be a full AP markup if we were just going to call him.

I also think Higher Learning should be a priority, because it's time sensitive and more details will make the discussion less abstract.

Edit:

As an aside, I think it'd be neat to make Rosie's kid a prodigy. Not as a security thing, just to help with mundane stuff.

Like a washcloth that automagically perfectly takes care of all hygiene stuff when wiped across the kid's head, a diaper that cleans itself/disintegrates waste, utensils that make food perfectly nutritious when used to prepare it, something like that.

Because why shouldn't we abuse our cosmic power for this sort of stuff?

AP hell is killer, we just gonna knock some time-sensitive stuff out first and I think this plan does it well.

Not sure I am happy that we are not also getting Rosie out of that house.
That is a concern, but it's probably okay for the short term future. Her parents are unlikely to do anything crazy in the first few weeks with the point we made about our support.

Might still be a good idea to provide her with minion support. We're spending an entire AP on this, so presumably we're investing more time than the literal hospital visit, a few orders seem like a reasonable addition.

It could be a training wheels mission for the amethyst hand agents for blending in.
 
Plan Stage Magic is sorta ignoring Molly's inner world, but hopefully the 1 AP with Brother Divsimar will show her investment into her people. This is a pretty momentous time for them after all, best not ghost them for a month during the greatest period of religious/cultural/political upheaval that the Courts have ever had.

[] NEW Servants of Darkness: Between your own insights, Lash's and the body of the fallen Akuma it occurs to you that you are in a good position to practice the soul trade... ethically, you are in a good position to practice the soul trade ethically


We know from that one akuma general who stole his own soul from the vault that giving back the soul doesn't remove the powers. I think that this is a much better approach for minion empowerment than the various fomori charms or training charms, if we can Invest them and just immediately return the soul chunk.

Not a suggestion for current AP, but more a discussion point for future XP and AP spending.

This takes care of the immediate plot hooks, though I would like to focus more on fcf and get those satellites done. Hopefully, they don't go crazy after a month without us.

Are you sure that Molly shouldn't check on Helen? It was one of the first options when she met the Cauldron, and I think that ignoring her problem can really sour our relationships with other members.
 
Also, if people think that meeting Brother Divsimar important I can make an alternative plan:
