We have a chance for another combat powerhouse to join us here - given what's up against us, we should take it.

Especially since he's actually a perfect aid for us-having an Urge that nearly perfectly matches Zero's needs and filling the heavy combatant slot that we need. Mind you, the fact he can't pilot a Frame is pretty lame. Still, just having a physical bodyguard is nice. Imagine how the end of canon series 1 would have gone if this guy had been available to protect Nunnally.

Pretty much.
He's a person-sized supercombatant (I mean, honestly here, have him go deep enough into the Malfeas tree and he can basically beat down knightmares on his own).
You don't throw such a useful ally out just because he might or might not have faced Abyssals up to now and been paranoid.

Depends on his answer. If he says I don't know, that can be interpreted as wanting to know.

I'd say we just use Social Combat to manoeuvre him into admitting he doesn't understand, which Kaguya then uses as the trigger for her VEE. I mean, its not like he has a chance at beating us in Social Combat.
 
Alright, Akio is bound but still under the influence of Retribution Will Follow. He's also slowly destroying the web, so the Spiders are forced to make new ropes as needed. Lelouch and Milly decides to relocate into Akio's apartment until he calms down.

Which is filled with statues of ex-Britannian soldiers.

So, once Akio calms down (Lelouch will be able to tell with Essence Sight) Social Combat can resume. Do you want to stunt it?

Maybe. Does Lelouch know about Factual Determination Analysis and whether or not Akio has it?

I'm not saying he couldn't be useful given some Mental boosting (okay, more like a lot of boosting...), but our Coven does have its own Infernal Monster practitioner already.

We have 1 Exalt really focused on combat.
Get this guy and we've doubled our number of combatants, and this one can potentially do some really neat stuff with SWLIHN Charms as well.
Given we'll be fighting a lot of things out there (Abyssals and Sidereals almost guaranteed), you don't turn down Exalted help if at all possible.
 
We could always point him at the real vampires.

Abyssals.

We'll need somebody running interference on those guys eventually, might as well be this dude.

Who do you think he actually believes are the vampires? It's part of his character omake.

But he did survive his encounter with at least one of their combat oriented people, so that means he can go toe to toe with them.

*resists urge to give spoilers*

*pats self on back*
 
I don't have time to write the post today. I'll see what I can do tomorrow. But, those topics will be covered when (or if) you manage to persuade Akio:

-Where Akio will stay until he's ready to go to Malfeas (for various reasons his current house isn't good)
-If Lelouch wants to get informed on what happened in his absence
-The first real Black Knights operation
-Maybe a timeskip

And, of course, meeting the first two Pantheon Souls!! :cool:
 
All right, here's a possible stunt.

After giving it some thought, you recall that Rakshata used a similar energy-holding ability when you met in Hell to hold her pipe. You also remember Akito asking her to verify your true identity. Maybe she has a power that enables her to know the truth? Pulling out your phone, you decide to call and ask her, as well as how likely it is that this buffoon shares that power.

This is why I suggest asking him nicely to say "I wish I was smarter". It doesn't matter why he says it, only that he says it. And if he says no then Lelouch can just pester him until he does. However, since Akio apparently just goes along with almost any request made by people he's not currently trying to kill, I don't think even pestering will be necessary.

He recognizes Mind-Hand Manipulation, so yes.

Alright then, stunt time...

[X] Plan "Idiot Infernal GET!"

Actions:
- This moron has the same telekinesis that Rakshata did. You recall from your initial meeting that she may have an ability to tell if someone is lying or not, so call her and ask her about it. Hopefully he's got the same ability.
- Once he calms down, convince him you are not a vampire, that you are supposed to be on the same side, and that you are here because the Yozis aren't happy that he's not following through on his agreement with them.
- If you manage to convince him, try to see what the gaps in his knowledge are regarding the Yozis, Exalts, and everything else. The fact that he thought you were a vampire of all things indicates they are many. You wonder why his coadjutor didn't tell him to stop. Maybe it's just as stupid as he is... Regardless, fill him in on the pertinent details needed, and see if he'll agree to do his job after being filled in. If he doesn't, you've got a Key to the Infernal Gates to send him on his way to be dealt with by the Unquestionable who he's angered.
- If he's cooperative, ask him about these "vampires". It might be nothing, but it doesn't hurt to check in case it's actually something.

Stunt: "Thank you, Rakshata, that helps immensely." You duck as a toaster flies in your direction. "Hopefully, anyways." Ending the call, you turn towards your prisoner, who appears to finally be calming down, going by what your Essence sight is telling you. Going over to the cheap coffee table that the Anuhles have bound your prisoner to, you look at him as he glares at you. "So it's to be torture then, vampire? I'll never crack!" You resist the urge to just shoot him and be done with it. "I am hoping very much that among your powers you have the one that lets you discern if someone is lying to you. If you do, I strongly suggest you use it now. Let me make something very clear - I am not a vampire. I am here regarding the deal you made with our masters. You aren't following through, and they aren't happy about it." He looks at you, clearly confused. Your hand isn't inching towards your gun, not really. "The deal where you agreed to help the world's creators out of their prison and woke up about an hour later, naked and with superpowers. Ring any bells?"


Suggestions for improvements are welcome, as always.
