Skipping all the Steps [Exalted/FSN]

So, uh, one thing;
IIRC in the Endless Desert the sky is pitch black at all times, with the implication that is wasn't like that before one or more of her Third Circles were killed as part of the Surrender Oaths, which is one of the reasons that sky-blue is considered an illegal color in Malfeas.

This was written a long time ago and posted on spacebattles, I am just catching things up at the moment. I fully acknowledge errors here and there. I'm trying to catch this thread up since this story originally started here on SV.
 
I was reading this on SB, but if you're going to try and keep SV up to date, I'll probably participate in a couple of conversations.
 
Wait, so if he can copy stuff enough to fool the NP hidden in his body, does that mean he can... Well transform into having magic circuits again?
 
Oh, I didn't even realize this was updated elsewhere.

Rin actually being able to lock on to a signal is all sorts of interesting.

And here we have an good explaination for why a substantial portion of TED's souls actively dislike him.

Erembour seems nice considering how she was responding to Shirou. I guess his souls are generally quite a bit nicer than TED himself?

Makes me wonder if Erembour would've succeeded if TED hadn't interrupted.

IIRC Erembour is anything and everything related to love and romance that you or anyone else would like to keep concealed.
The couple that elopes to avoid their fighting parents, the child that is embarrassed by their first crush, that dirty kink that you would just die if anybody found out about, etc.
So yes, she throws something like fifty dice at anything romantic and half-again that at any seduction attempt, before Charms are taken into account.

On the other hand, ignoring NMI costs 2 Willpower at most, and as Ebby said he has a good reason to refuse.

As I understand it, anyone can go from one place of desolation to Ceceline to any other place of desolation they know about. It basically means that they desert is a hub of sorts connecting discrete worlds like Gaia/NasuEarth, Creation and Malfeas. Does that mean you could reach Autoctonia if you knew where you were going?

Is that true for the canon Exalted lore? Keep in mind that I am only familiar with this setting from fics.

Theoretically you could enter Autochthon, but there would need to be an appropriate place to exit into, and since everything there is Autochthon aspected an area like that may be hard to find. Plus even if there WAS, Autochthon has locked his world-body up from the inside via the Seal of Eight Divinities. That thing help up against an entire team of Elder Solars trying to crack it, and it only opens from the inside because an Elder Alchemical Exalt used a specific charm.

As for the geography of Cecyline herself, her being Infinite doesn't necessarily mean she can be used to travel everywhere. She borders everywhere (barring weird exceptions) but isn't actually connected everywhere. Because of her surrender oaths the only place she can really open up to is Creation. Opening up to Autochthon or Gaia would get her shut down, because Primordials basically dictate the rules of reality inside their own bodies just by existing, so if either of them said she can't spill over then she can't. She also can't be used to cross over into an alternate universe/Creation.

Lets see... places she doesn't border. Nullspace (because it doesn't "exist"), Elsewhere, the Beyond (that's Oramus' thing), and that's about it.

But Ceceline did open up into Nasuverce! So, provided the author kept this aspect, there is something going on with Gaia and other Primordials.

Wouldn't that disqualify Creation, too? After all, most of it is also a part of Gaia'a body.

There is no Nasuverse, per se. There is only Gaia doing her own stuff somewhere in the Wyld, and whatever she is doing just so happened to end up looking like Nasuverse.

It's a one way border. You can go Gaia->Ceceline->Creation, but if you try to do the opposite, Gaia's border guards will grab you, kick your ass and throw you back into Ceceline. The Surrender Oath mean that Ceceline can't have any border guards of her own, anyone can get into her, but the surviving Primordials can and have closed their borders.
 
It's a shame that though there are a lot of Exalted crossovers they are mostly "X gets an exaltation, golden/green fire everywhere". I would like to see more of the Creation side of things.
