I feel fear when staring at that visage. Lelouch doesn't get it."Do no worry Lelouch-sama." Her smile shines like the sun. "I am more than willing to wait a few years to make our union official!"
"Wait, what?" You blink in confusion. "Didn't we agree to enter the same coven already?"
She just keeps smiling, looking to all the world like the perfect picture of class and elegance.
Hmm. She seems a little...off."I am sure...that the mortals that venerate Lady Sondok are all worthy individuals that recognize and admire said good qualities." You say diplomatically.
"Of course, of course! My dear soul-sister is very good at what she does." Berengiere nods quickly. "Where we were? Oh yes, the cult. You said you want to request their services?"
Maybe more than a little..."Yes! Just forty cries of Tomescu ago I exploded."
Silence.
"The cloth exploded. Not me." She takes another sip of tea. "It's my personal belief that it's the result of Pasiap and Hesiesh running closer than before. A minority think it's a Sidereal plot to make Daana'd and the spirit courts of Water recede to free up more land, but there is always someone who cries 'Sidereal plot!' at every strange happening."
Okay, that's a confirmation she's easily Essence 9.She is a divine dancer. She is also, according to your Essence sight, an absolute monster that rival an Unquestionable. If the Yozi intended this to be a safeguard mechanism, they did extremely well.
Oh. The Yozi himself wants to speak to us. Seyrun's girlish screaming is both incredibly understandable and amusing at the same time.Lelouch Vi Britannia. My Oversoul wishes to speak with you."
That day you discover Seyrun's screams of terror can be quite girly when sufficiently motivated.
Shouldn't this be "he"?"You may." She replies simply, sounding like the whole ordeal is common routine.
Wonder if it would taste green too...
Lol. Good luck with that, Lelouch."AND WHEN SOL INVICTUS HIMSELF WILL TELL ME TO REPENT, I WILL SPIT IN HIS FACE AND TEAR OUT HIS HEART, TO SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH BLACK IT IS!"
I see we passed Malfeas' test. Perhaps barely, but we did it.And the world laughs.
HOW AMUSING. ONLY YOUR WILL IS PUSHING YOU FORWARD
YET YOUR DESIRES ARE RIGHTFUL
YOU ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH
THAT CAN BE REMEDIED
Fan club?"Welcome back Lelouch." C.C. greets you with a small grin.
She let it happen.
She let it happen.
Ooh, she is so gonna pay!
Oh? Spinzaku's here...What to do, what to do."Lelouch?!"
'This voice-!'
You turn around, but cannot believe your eyes.
Judging from his face, Suzaku cannot believe his eyes too.
This was already somewhat addressed, but you're mixing up Exalt types. The "Being called his old name" is an Abyssal Exalt thing .I wonder if Suzaku is an infernal. It would certainly explain his apparent rise from the dead. The Torment from being called his old name the entire time must be immense, however.
Awesome.
[X] Suzaku is alive! Be happy but keep up your public mask.
I have to say, I really didn't consider just what picking Malfeas would mean for Lelouch, and how it would affect his world view. I think it's safe to say he's going to be far less empathetic here than he was in canon
You have begun the five-days travel across Cecelyne! What do you do during it?
[] Write-in. (You can use this time to train all traits save physical Attributes, Non-Caste/Non-Favored Abilities, Sorcery Spells and Martial Arts Charms)
ahh...This was already somewhat addressed, but you're mixing up Exalt types. The "Being called his old name" is an Abyssal Exalt thing .
Enjou, we had 79 xp at the end of the update, not 89 xp. We had 49 xp at the start, Malfeas ate 10 xp leaving 39 xp. Then we got 40 xp for finishing in Hell, so 79 xp.[X] XP Expenditure Plan "Congrats, its twins!"
89 XP at the end of this update.
First off, PANTHEON TIME!
Oramus Charms
Flowers Bloom Like Madness (8 XP, 2 Days)
- Muse of Unearthly Delights (8 XP, 3 Days)
Ebon Dragon Charms
My Dark Lady (8 XP, 2 Days)
Darkling Grace Complete (8 XP, 3 Days)
Heretical Charms
Fourth-Soul Devil Domain (10 XP, 6 Days, Started after Lelouch meets his new souls, which should be when he goes to sleep the night after the reunion with Suzaku)
This will get Lelouch two Pantheon souls at once, for maximum lulz! Also, the Charms themselves are useful.
47 XP remains
Malfeas Charms
Hardened Devil Body (10 XP, 4 Days)
Insignificant Embers Intuition (10 XP, 4 Days)
Green Sun Nimbus Flare (10 XP, 4 Days)
Some survivability, and a valuable weapon in the days to come.
17 XP remains
Abilities
Ride/Drive - max to five dots by buying four more (12 XP, Immediate)
Occult (3 XP, 6 Days)
Max out our Drive so we're a truly epic Knightmare pilot. Get a dot in Occult so Lelouch has a basic understanding of Essence and other occult stuff that he doesn't currently have, which will be extra useful given he has Essence Sight right now.
2 XP to spare for next time.
I might be convinced to change up the Malfeas Charms, or move one to have us get another Oramus Charm. (still looking at the Shaping Defense as a possibility) Good arguments to change some things are always welcome.
Ok, now to Suzaku. He's stated our name out loud, so it's not a secret he knows us.
[X] Suzaku is alive! Be happy but keep up your public mask.
-[X] "Suzaku..." You resist the urge to stare in shock. It takes a great deal of your will to keep up your carefully crafted mask. Your Essence Sight doesn't show him to be someone else magically disguised, so you're pretty damn sure it's him. You don't know how he survived, but you can catch up with him later, but for now you can't reveal anything that might link him to your secret past. "Well, I have to say I'm surprised, Suzaku. I would never have expected to see you here, but it's good to see you again." You say, smiling honestly. You turn to Rivalz. "Rivalz, have you met Suzaku? He helped me out after that idiot driver in the truck accident drove off with me inside."
-[X] Later when you're assured of privacy (the last thing you want is to give your fanclub ideas) give him a hug, let him know you're glad he's alive. The two of you have some catching up to do, and you're sure Nunnally would love to see him again.
Keep up the mask publicly though make it obvious we have a positive opinion of him to make his school life easier, but do give the guy a hug when we have a chance.
Nope, we lost 10 to get the first Malfeas Excellency. Maybe drop one of the Malfeas charms? I'd suggest GSNF. It's cool, but we can get attack charms for cheaper from our other two bosses. It's primarily Malfeas' defensive and leadership charms we can use.
Huh? Like what?I'd suggest GSNF. It's cool, but we can get attack charms for cheaper.
The Homebrew idea works for me.Q&A Time!
About the Pantheon Charms...I realized they don't say what to do when you want to materialize a Soul created by a Pantheon Charm. Should I homebrew it, and say that instead of an Intimacy they represent a fundamental quality of the Infernal (Heart is Lelouch's Arrogance and Pride, Grace is Lelouch's Sense of Drama and Manipulation, Muse is Lelouch's Creativity and Ruthlessness?) that most resonate with the Charm's themes?

Edit: Alternatively, drop Fourth-Soul Devil Domain.
