Akito: Aha! Another vampire! Have at thee!
Kaguya: Bitch please. *Slaps Akito and activates VEE to boost his Wits*
Akito: ...I have been a complete moron my whole life. How I could not see that before?!

Perhaps we could try flaring our Caste Marks? Assuming his Unwoven Coadjutor isn't completely dead, it should be able to explain that we're Infernals, not Abyssals.
He has a Coadjutor rating of N/A - his Coadjutor hasn't told him squat about what he's supposed to do. He won't know what our Caste Marks mean.

Crap. Ok then, let's just shoot him in the knees so he can't run, them drag him off somewhere we can explain that we're on the same side in peace.

that's...going to be hard to do actually

I'm working on a plan/stunt, and so is Enjou (obviously). While he is a Slayer, which makes him automatically more combat focused, we have artifacts and demons, and most importantly two Exalted. Still, like you say, I'm not expecting it to be easy.

I think that the hardest part will be him ignoring wound penalties.
Wait does he not have a PD? I didn't see one I think...

I already mentioned this, and asked Alexander if we can get the Stormwand for this encounter retroactively (as we didn't get to choose it). He said we can stunt it, which make stunning him at least theoretically possible.

Hm...hopefully we can before he can get his by pain reforged up to ignore bashing (as I assume that's what the stormwant does to stun yes?)

I'd be a little wary of relying on that; he has four dice on his Stamina + Resistance roll and will be able to add dice or successes using Excellencies.
Ah, messing with Suzaku is fun.
And C.C. evidently thinks messing with us is fun as well.
You approach wisdom, Lelouch.
He may be a bumbling idiot, but he's still a potentially dangerous one.
However, he shouldn't be that difficult to actually hit. His Dodge DV is just 3. His unarmed Parry DV is 5, and his Parry DV while using people as weapons is 2.

Combine that with Shadow Spite Curse to impose an external penalty to his roll to resist, with max -5 with 2-point stunt, effectively raising the difficulty of the roll to 8 (or 9 if we manage a 3-point stunt). Though that would cost 15 (or 18) motes, so maybe not that much.
Anyway, I'll have to go to sleep now, I'll finish my plan tomorrow morning if we still have the time then.
I forgot about Shadow Spite Curse. That makes things easier.
Ok, my basic plan is this:
1. Pull out the Stormwand and fire.
2. Use Calculating Dho Angles to make it a surprise attack, reducing his DV to 0 so that he can't dodge.
3. Hit him with Shadow Spite Curse to make it impossible for him to resist the stun. We only need to use it twice, I think? Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.
4. Milly uses an appropriate emotion effect to make him submissive.
5. Anuhles wrap him up in silk while he's incapacitated and we take him somewhere for a nice chat.
Thoughts?

I'm not sure that Milly could make him submissive. I don't really know what sort of emotion effect could drive someone to just do what others tell them. Maybe just crush his will to fight by shooting him with tiredness or despair?

Resignation, or curiosity? Pretty much any emotion, with a good enough stunt?
Step 6.) After relocating him somewhere discreet after we've knocked him unconscious, we wake him and then proceed to ham it up until he realizes that we're being intentionally silly before we remind him of his duties, in order to a.) Be friendlier in hindsight and b.) Punish him just a bit for being such an idiot?
Is this silly? The undesirable sort of silly, that is?
Reverent awe towards Lelouch, a feeling of accepting defeat, a feeling of enjoyment at being wrapped up in a cocoon by giant spider demons, or something along those lines. Mind you, Milly will feel any such emotion, so we need to ensure it doesn't affect her too badly.
Resignation might work.
We don't want to ham it up until he realizes we're messing with him - he's got Wits 1. He'll take it seriously.
But I'm more thinking just be calm and explain we are A) not vampires and that B) he agreed to help the Yozis and he shouldn't attack other people who've made the same deal, which includes us. Also, we need to find out about the "vampires" he met.

Apathy would also be a candidate.
We need to raise that as soon as we see Kaguya. I'm surprised you can function while being that stupid. He has intelligence 1 as well. The only mental skill he doesn't utterly fail at is perception.
A -2 External Penalty would make his average base successes = 0 on the resist roll, but stunting or use of his Malfean Excellencies change that.
Can you stunt or use Excellencies on a resist roll, especially against a surprise attack? I'm not entirely sure of that you can, but I'm not as familiar with the rules for this part as I might be.

Excellencies are Reflexive Charms, and the text of them says you can affect any Rolled use of the ability.
