[X] Plan Information
-[X] Crown Question: [Focus: Call] What is the nature of the arrangements keeping Broken Seeker here?
-[X] ATB via willpower, intimidation
—[X] [Stunt]: Taking a breath, Molly prepares to open her proper eye for a look at the situation. " An interesting premise Broken Seeker, but Fixer you haven't been in a long time." A sharper tone entering her voice Molly continues " You've clearly put significant effort into keeping me out of risk; you're going to need to make a better offer than paying me in my own coin to solve your problems if you're seriously thinking this is going anywhere"
[X] Plan Call and reinforcements -[X] The call --[X] Ask more questions about his deal, try to see how sincere he is --[X] Empathy excellency, ATB with willpower --[X] Crown Question: [Focus: Call] What circumstances brought Broken Seeker here? --[X] Binding agreements can be a bitch, you can sympathize with that. Would it help if you murdered all his employers, their families, allies, and cute little pets? You and a lot of others (allude to but don't mention Denarians and Winter) need Dresden alive, and intact without interruptions to those states. --[X] How long does he have until he really needs Dresden dead? --[X] Reiterate that the moment real harm comes to your friends, all deals are off and you'll be finding and killing Broken Seeker. Unhealthy habits for an immortal monstrosity of a bygone age or not, these are your mortals, and you put work into them. -[X] Reinforcements --[X] Indicate to Harry (by writing on a piece of paper) to call Alphas for help in evacuating Izzy and Alec --[X] Have Harry call Murphy about the developing situation
[X] When Skinwalkers FAFO -[X] <Insert appropriate Exalted social buffs here> Anyone want to remind me what those are in this situation? -[X] "I have a counter-proposal for you, Broken Seeker. You don't mind if I use your name, I hope? Fixer just sounds so impersonal." --[X] "Harry is a mortal, if one with a longer potential lifespan than most. You are immortal, barring violence or misfortune, such as the violent misfortune which will befall you should I lose my temper. I know you've done enough research since arriving in Chicago to understand the consequences of that. It's not like I've been discreet." ---[X] "So kindly fuck off back to whatever hole in the ground you call home and when Harry dies you can nibble on his corpse then. What's a few centuries to one such as you? Of course, should Harry die of anything but natural causes I'm going to assume you were ultimately responsible for his demise, as any good fixer could be expected to arrange." ----[X] "Think fast before you end up regretting what remains of your life."
[x] Plan counter counter.
-[x] Crown Question focus the current phone conversation. Question what weakness of Broken Seeker does Broken Seeker most fear being spread to the supernatural rumor mill.
-[x] Intimidation excellency, "Broken Seeker, you misunderstand the situation, I in my magnificence am willing to grant you a reprieve to live a bit longer." Exploit information from Crown, to threaten him with capitulation, or his weakness spread to four winds.
[X] Pretend to agree with the deal
-[X] Set up a meeting for as soon as Lydia is back in town, including Harry of course (also bring Mouse if he is willing)
-[X] Use the Crown to find out where he's keeping the hostages shortly before the meeting
-[X] Have Micheal leading the Jade Dogs (including our new, more experienced Whampire-Minion) attack the hostage-holding group, while we kill the Naagloshii himself.
--[X] If the time between now and Lydias return suffices, buy some proper weapons for the Jade Dogs.
