Green Sun, Black Shadows (CG/Exalted)

So I was thinking about charms and I realized that we should strive to open as many Charmsets as possible for Lelouch, if anything else because it's is cheap and open more options for Heretical Charms, and Heretical charms can become some realy awesome stuff

Anyway since I don't have much actual experience with Exalted rules so I will just trow my ideas for a series of Malfeas-Oramus-Ebon Dragon charms and hope someonde more capable get's interested into turning this into something functional

First I was thinking of combining bot of Malfeas and Oramus sleep charms, basicaly destroying the diference between being awake or asleep, the two states would be perfectly interchangeable, we would be always councious and aware of our surrondings and neither we nor those around us would get the deleterious effect of those charms unless we willed it so, which is kind of important since the dream effect would become permanet and this idea is based around influencing it

I believe most of these effects should be more potent/easier when the people in our range are unconcious but also would have a good and, as we grow in power, increasing effect on concious people trought the subconcious

To start we would be able to sense all minds in our range, if they are concious, and trought this sense easily apurate their Motivations/intmacies/virtues which very good since our aura sutil influence contantly,passively and inevitably erode orreinforce something like essence intmacies of our especific choice to each one of then, maybe other charm would then turn this effect semi-permanet, sticking to people even as they leave our zone of influence for essence days/weeks/months/years as we grow in power and/or expend motes to make a especifc instance more long lasting
Another thing we would be able to do is apply social attacks/charms trough dreams/the unconcious in a way that would be completely undetectable as people should not only believe they came with the ideas themselves, but will forget most of what happens in dreams

And now that I think about it we could also use dreamtime for training people in the more mental side of skills, but of course we will probably need a charm to help us whit multitasking involved with managing everyone but then we just need one more capable of increasing our range be a few orders of magnitude and we should be able to influence most of the city simple be existing

Well for now this is it , so what do you people think ?

My word! Kaguya-chan has been...busy. I was going to make her favor Szoreny, but it seems she had invested more in Cecelyne. The omake is canon (with all that it implies) and have +3 Xp.

She's really not that invested into Cecelyne in the omake - Locust Mana Plague only requires Transcendent Desert Creature, which doesn't have any prerequisites. (it does need Essence 3 as well, so she might have gotten LMP recently if she only increased her Essence recently) For all I know she may not have any other Cecelyne Charms other than perhaps the First Excellency. The spell "Candied Locust Amber" isn't a Charm, and would allow her to preserve the locusts for later use. The entire reason Hidenobu reveres her so much is because he's eaten candied locusts a few times.

For Szoreny, I noted that she counseled patience, which is one of his keywords. Szoreny's methods work very well with Cecelyne Charms. Using Locust Mana Plague she would be slowly and patiently work to expand and grow her influence, doing so in a manner that is subtle. She's turning failure into success, using Taizo's failure to get the poison gas and nearly causing a massacre to undermine his influence and increase her own. One by one, she would get the leaders of the Kyoto House to come to see her as divine, making them conform to her will and impose her values on them, and then taking leadership. She only needs two more to have a majority.

So yeah, you can totally make her favor Szoreny, and I think you should. She's kind and benevolent, after all. It's a better fit for her personality. That said, she wouldn't just ignore the Cecelyne Charms she's got available.

Yeah, the real strength of Infernals is that you can take the Charms from one Yozi and then apply a different Yozi's methodology to use it. The Yozis themselves ultimately can't do that, and it's why the Green Sun Princes will eventually surpass them.

True
Also how afraid of Mily now that we challenged her to a tease off...should I start crying now? Lol

Uhm, true true. Do you think she will also take Verdant Emptiness Endowment? Oh, what about an Heretical Charm that combine sand and quicksilver?

Afraid.

She probably would, but being of a more benevolent personality she'd probably not use the favors she would have built up from it very often. She would give people under her blessings more openly (so not really hide she's doing it) and they would do things she asked because they are grateful to her, not because she has a favor she can magically enforce, basically going along with the whole providing succor to those beneath her thing that Szoreny does.

Though I suspect if Lelouch ever took a blessing she'd use it to rope him into marrying her without an ounce of hesitation. :p

Oh, what about an Heretical Charm that combine sand and quicksilver?

Yeah, probably something like that could be made. I'd need to think of the effects.

Also, I'm not sure what demon you intend to use for her, but as a suggested cosmetic change for Kaguya for her demonic aspect - since both the Endless Desert and the Silver Forest are both silver, maybe have her fingernails, toenails, and possibly her lips be silver. She could easily enough cover those up with nail polish and lipstick respectively. (she already does wear pink lipstick anyways)

Kallen's an odd duck Appearance wise. She's got a pretty high natural Appearance score but use her Larceny to disguise herself as someone much plainer to avoid attention.
 
The target can be something the Unwoven Coadjutor would have an Intimacy towards, or something related to its species of demon. Also, demons pretty much universally like good music and really dislike bad music. (a summoned blood ape might surprise a summoner by inflicting an unnecessary beat down on a musician that is playing off key, for instance, because bad music isn't really tolerated in Hell)
Tolerated is a weak way to put it.

Adorjan is repelled by loud sounds, but if she hears something she hates enough she would PERSONALLY go there to kill the shit out of it instead of avoiding it.
Malfeas loves to dance. Pray that your music pleases him.

Bad music can be fatal.

Don't worry, she has Compassion 4. It'd be in our best interests to be fucked!

That's why hells music is all METAL.

Btw, the controls on our future knightmare needs to be a guitar.

Sadly Invisible Castle is down so you will have to trust me. I rolled Lelouch's Conviction and had one success, meaning he recovers 1 point of temporary Willpower. Thinking of burning down Britannia keeps one going...

There are some people who have troubles waking up, needing to be constantly stimulated to shake off drowsiness. Others toss and turn during the night, waking up gasping as if reacting to a shock.

You are neither. One moment you are asleep - the next you are awake, eyes opening smoothly as they stare at the familiar ceiling of your room. Without missing a beat you rose to your feet and walk into the bathroom, stopping in front of the mirror above the sink.

A slight exertion of will, and a black disk so dark that it almost hurts to gaze upon appears above your brows.

'So it was real.'

"Did you really think it was a dream?" Seyrun asks you.

'I considered it a possibility, yes.' You reply as you start your daily morning ablutions. 'After all, it would be unbelievable without solid proof.'

"Paranoia is all well and good, but you need to relax every now and then. Or get an hobby."

'Like your cigars?'

"That's more like an addition, but let's not nitpick marottes."

You don't even ask what that last thing is, probably some more demon lore. After that is your uniform: you just finish putting it on that two Anuhles appear. "Reporting Boss!" They salute.

"What did you find?"

"There are no Dragonblooded on campus, nor any other suspicious thing. The only presences of note are the Princess and her cohort."

Very good to hear: it means the Academy is still a safe place for you and your sister.

"Actually, you could have tried recruiting a few. A Dragonblooded as a minion is way better than a mortal."

'Uhm, you aren't entirely wrong.' You reflect on Seyrun's words. 'But as the scions of noble Britannian houses it would be difficult to sway them into betraying their homeland...' You pause to contemplate a sudden thought. 'Unless, of course, there are families that bear Dragonblooded heritage outside of Britannia?'

"There should be. Sadly I wasn't given any data about that topic. My advice still stand: when you can, recruit Exalts."

You have to admit, it is sound advice. "Good work. You can go." The spiders nod and left.

There are no traces of the tension of yesterday at breakfast, Nunnally is back to her usual sweet self and everything is right in your life...the one restricted to school at least.

The problems begin when you leave to attend a planned reunion of the Student Council before classes start. As you walk through campus you can't help but notice that the stares from other students...are way more numerous than normal. Sure you have a discrete fame among the female population thanks to your good looks (despite your every attempt to appear as boring as possible at every occasion. What is it the deal with that?) but they never stopped what they are currently doing to just follow you with their eyes before.

And then you notice the male students are doing the same. You rub your lips and the skin around them, thinking there are traces of jam left from breakfast, but your hand come back clean. It's definitely not something on your face. 'What is happening?'

"Sorry Boss, I know nothing about human interaction with each others. You are on your own."

Not that you expect any help from a demonic spider. You barely understand the mentality of highschool students yourself.

Entering the Council room you find it empty, meaning you're the first today. With nothing better to do you begin preparing the paperwork for today's task, which is...inspection on the clubs' budget? With all the amount of work there is everyone should have started on it yesterday. 'I suppose there isn't a power to do paperwork faster?'

"That's more like up a Solar's alley."

You hum. 'But you also said that as a Fiend I can learn the power of other Exalts.'

"Not all of them and it takes more time, but yes. However, you need to see them in action first, and know enough about how Essence works to reverse-engineer the steps leading to them. Or you can go and consult the libraries of Orabilis in Malfeas, which contain a lot of lore accumulated since the First Age."

That sounds interesting. Definitely another stop to add to your tour of Malfeas.

The door opens and Rivalz, Shirley and Nina enter the room. Your partner in illegal betting greets you jovially. "Lelouch buddy! Finally fo..."

You frown as he trails off, hand still raised in the air as he stares at you. Even Nina, who normally has eyes only for the computer, and Shirley are doing the same. Uhm, how come Shirley's cheeks are red? You hope it isn't a cold, missing a member would mean more work. "Alright, now you tell me what is wrong. I've been stared since morning. Why?"

"Uh..." Rivalz stutters before couching. "Buddy, you look...different?"

"Is that a question?"

"...Maybe?"

"Then the answer is no." You scoff. "There is nothing different in me today, I am the same as I was yesterday."

One of the biggest lies of your life, but you don't want to involve the rest of the Council in your secret life.

Milly chooses that moment to enter the room, leaning between Shirley and Nina while her hands grope a breast of each young girl. "Morning my dear servants! Ready for another day of righteous work?"

"MADAM PRESIDENT!"

Finally, some normality.

"You call this normality?"

{====}​

'...Wait, it takes five days to cross Cecelyne, no matter which direction you take or how fast you go? How does that even work?'

"Endless Desert, that's how. Cecelyne represents infinity, If she wants she can trap someone for eternity...but the terms of surrender stated that any travel from Creation to Malfeas can't last more than Calibration, which is made of five days. There are ways to skip that, but they require high-ranked Ar-"

"Lelouch!" Your conversation is interrupted when Milly smacks you in the head with a rolled-up newspaper. "You were asleep just now, weren't you? Your hand stopped moving."

Your hand comes up and snatch the newspaper away. "I was just lost in thought. You don't need to hit me."

Rivalz grins. "Served you right for ditching me like that."

"That's right! What were you two doing yesterday?"

"Nothing worth mentioning." You reply absentmindedly before a title on the newspaper catches you attention. Opening it you begin to read.

"-when the initially announced urban renewal operation turned out to be a cover-up for a large scale military operation against terrorists armed with poison gas. However, it came as a shocking turn of events when in his first official appearance after the fact the Viceroy declared that the whole incident was orchestrated by traitors inside the Pureblood Faction. Ignoring numerous protests His Highness has announced that every member will be put under investigation for allegedly treason against the Crown, suspended from active service until final judgment and all their possessions frozen to allow better scruti-"

"Lelouch...?"

"Yes Rivalz?"

"I don't know what is making you so happy, but could you stop smiling? You're scaring me!"

"Oh, is that so?" You put away the newspaper and turn to look at your fellow Council members, who all look paler than usual. Except Milly, who is taking a deep breath...oh.

"GUTS!" She shouts.

While everyone else whimper at the volume you point the pen at her and glare. "Don't you dare."

"Whatever do you mean Lelouch?" She grins back.

"That 'Guts' spell again?"

'Oh Rivalz, you have no idea what she can make you do.' "Just tell us to work harder, will you?" You then realize it's the perfect moment to enact the plan you made after Seyrun explained how to increase your abilities. "Actually, I have a proposal."

Every eye turn to you. Milly gives a slight nod to indicate you can go on.

"I have no doubt we can get the club budgets balanced today, but how do we know they are spending them wisely? One of us should do surprise inspections on the various clubs during the following week, joining their activities to gauge first-hand."

"Ooh, an interesting proposal." Milly hums while Shirley and Rivalz offer comments in the background. "You realize that, as the one who came up with it, it's you who will do the inspections?"

"But of course." Your reply is so shocking that even Nina turns away from the computer to stare at you. "An entire week, during which I will be unable to help with paperwork? Sounds like a deal."

Shock is replaced by groans about the unfairness of life.

Just as planned.

{====}​

"Geez! I swear the President is an old man on the inside!" Shirley complains with a pout as you, Rivalz, Nina and her walk to class.

"Milly has always been like that." Nina defends the blonde bombshell.

'Whimsical like the wind? Yes. Her dirty jokes? That is all puberty's fault. And it's likely Exalting made it even worse.'

"Well we got the budget report done on time, so it's all good." Rivalz comments with a grin.

"So it's not because you share Milly's interest in Shirley's breasts?"

Your grin grows an inch longer as the two victims sputter and blush fiercely. Man, you're on a roll today. Since when do you enjoying teasing so much?

"I think it may be an effect of your recent Exaltation. The world-changing feeling of it is bound to last more than a few hours. You'll surely going back to normal once you're fully acclimatized with it."

It makes sense. In exchange for such power, a few days of highlighted emotional state is nothing.

When you reach your desk you notice a group of girls making a fuss around one of them. A girl with red hair, if you remember right she is often ab-

Your gaze lands on her face.

Your eyes widen as you recognize her as the pilot of the red Glasgow, who was also the redhead you gave the codename of Q-1.

"Boss, I think we found the way to contact the terrorists." Seyrun announces with smugness.

Oh yes, indeed.

[] Make direct contact when appropriate.
[] Contact her through phone, better to not expose yourself.
[] Continue observation, you want to know why a Britannian is helping Elevens.
[] Write-in.

The Second Breath doesn't change who you fundamentally are...but when you have the energy of a dozen nuclear bombs running in your veins, such power isn't so easily constrained. That, and Lelouch is a magnificent Fiend.
