Infernal Conundrum: [Exalted/Worm] - Part 2: Hell is Other Exalts

Reader mode
[X] Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.

While it may not be the most optimal choice, Taylor needs some fucking happiness. Like, jeez.

Well, for the preset options:
-Cecelyn is the Rule of Law tainted by the Rules of Nature. She believes laws and order should be enforced and followed, but she also believes that the strong set whatever rules they like. This is what led to Warlord of Brockton Bay in canon, in part. Through the failures of the system, she no longer believes in it, but still desires a sysstem.

-Kimbery is that of poisonous attachments, grudges and relationships. Emma was one, Lisa, in canon, is another, as were the dysfunctional mess of how she dealt with everything. It also means the option to spawn monsters for whatever happened to Queen Administrator here. She fixates upon people, things and objectives, and sees them through, come hell or high water.

-Adorjan is instead a step back into youth. Love hurts, so you love fast, you love hard, and then when you no longer need it you let it go, and sever old relations with the same ease you form new ones. Laugh, because everything hurts, and it is good. Let nothing bind you, cut yourself free, murder the now-stranger and feast upon their death.

Though given SV being SV we're naturally pretty Kimbery/Cecelyn/SWLIHN.

I think it can be said that TED does fits her very well and, if she had continued on her canon route for a while, would have fit her amazingly well. She probably betrayed everyone else just as often as she betrayed herself.

I'm interested in continuing this if possible because these are probably going to be the bases for the various Pantheon formed 1st Circles.

*Opens Mouth* *Closes Mouth* ... Its scary when you realize Adjoran is one of the few ways for Taylor to ever be legitimately happy.
 
Canon Taylor spend very little time in the story happy and even less free. From Winslow, to her troubles between wanting to be a hero and liking the Undersiders, to her obsession with saving Dinah, to the fixation on protection her territory and it's people, to the two year long obsession of stopping Jack from causing the apocalypse, she never let go. She rarely did things for their own sake, always some goal in her head, with a focus that got at some times actually scary to other people.

Helping her to understand about letting go, might make a better and happier Taylor.
(Maybe in the laughing murderwind way, but eh, can't have everything.)

That or taking charms from Hegra AKA the typhoon of Psychadelic Drugs.

If everyone I tagged above switched to Szoreny, our votes would be tied in first place with Cecelyne. All of you have either liked my post or expressed an interest in voting for Szoreny if there was a chance of them winning, and I don't believe Adorjan or Kimberry really could win. It would be really nice to see people at least considering the option that is the best match for Taylor's personality.

@The Shadowmind
I'm not quite sure what you're referring too with PMMM when talking about helping Amy. The context makes me think Madoka, but that doesn't really make sense. More importantly, though, there is a decent chance we actually can't give Amy Appearance 5 with Cecelyne. Her wish-granting can't send you further into experience debt once you're already there, and Amy is an important enough character her xp would actually be tracked. Szoreny, on the other hand, has the ability to change people traits closer to his, so if we eventually bought up App 5 for Taylor (which we probably want to do), that would let us make her just a beautiful as us. If everyone I've tagged in this post including you changes their votes, we'll be winning.

I'm not sure that is counted, with extra space in the brackets.

The charm was Pneuma-Moulding Marvellous Muneration from the Book of Ten Thousand Scorpions, which is homebrew.

You can grant wishes to a mortal in experience dept as long as you have Miracle Gift Mastery if you are Essence 4.

Interesting idea thus far.

[X] I love the sea's sounds and the way it reflects the sky. The colours that shimmer across its surface are unbelievable.
--Kimbery Favored
 
I feel I should point out that the wish granting charm requires we pick up the Cecelyne excellency and that could noticeably impact the number of charms we have access to.

Er...I've just been hand-tallying the votes so far.

Also:

Do remember the setting. Manipulating the fates of oneself and others has consequences on Earth-Bet. Altering the fate of others is like casting a stone into the future.

It draws attention.

AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION:
nah

That or Adorjan both sound like they fit Taylor well...

but Szoreny sounds interesting in terms of gameplay/narrative possibliities.

Although I might change it to Adorjan if Szo isn't doing so hot :V

I have to admit I'm kinda tempted to vote for Hegra. Both for the awesome name/title ("Typhoon of Nightmares"), and for the sheer trippiness it'd probably cause.

More seriously, though, I'm gonna go with:
