[NEXUS] OoC 22: ALL HAIL THE BUTT HAT!!!

[horngeek]

...define Space Marine. A Dragon-Blooded with access to powered armor's fine, but a 40K Space Marine who's also a Dragon-Blooded sounds... iffy.

[AmberVael]

A Dragon-Blooded with access to powered armor's fine...

Especially since that is basically Exalted canon.

[ThirdEmperor]

Dragon Blooded...Space Marine? As in Warhammer 40K "UBERHUMAN ONLY PLZ CLUB" Space marine?

Yep. From the Exalted 40K game I once ran. It went hilariously off the rails, but it was epically grimderp while it lasted. The basic idea was that the world of Creation had followed the the same technological and cultural path as the Warhammer verse, resulting in such monstrosities as Kinda-Shiny-Metal-Colored-Klaw-Dat-Breakz-Skullz (Silver Claw That Shatters the Mind), the Ork Lunar Exalt.

[horngeek]

Yeah, I'd... prefer not a full Space Marine 40k style who's also a DB (with the caveat that, as this is ACRO, technically you can do any crazy crossovers you want). However, as I said, DB with some sort of powered armor is fine.

@DC: Okay. Outside former AE territory it is, then.

[UncleWolf]

Zjen will kill the obvious Heretical Marine with holy fire. Lots and lots and lots of Purging Holy Incineration. >.>

[bladescape]

@DA: I was thinking that my Elf would be convinced to join while talking with the Operative? If you want me to I could join the normal way... though not sure if that would suit my guy's persona properly....

@Ghar:When would be a good time to set up Reis' meeting with this 'band' you proposed? The Apocaplot is a bit disruptive for that, but anything else that factors in?

[Gullara]

Well, I got the character that's supposed to be meeting him in an awkward spot at the moment. Namely being dead. >.> Of course, he will just be re-summoned (long story) but at the moment he needs to stay dead a little while to spare continuity some suffering.

That's perfectly fine. With the way the Operative does things, though, he's not going to want to convince the Elf unless he does something that the Operative deems useful. Shouldn't be too hard, though.

[ThirdEmperor]

Aaw... But it's so ludicrously overpowered...

Also, @Wolfbane: the Dragon-Marine equivalent to Purging Holy Incineration is called Heretic Immolation Forgiveness Strike. Also known as FAAAALCON PAAAWNCH!

[The Bushranger]

Sorry for not posting more tonight, folks. Just not able to jump-start the muse. -_-

Ah. LOL. I'm fine with waiting, I just like to know what's happening.

Hrmm. He's not much of a show-off either. Guh, this is like writing a story that wants to go in the opposite direction that you want it to. >.> I'll come up with something later.

[The Alexandrian]

Why am I needed at NO? Roxie isn't going to try and talk to Percilia while she's on the phone.

Oh, okay. Just didn't want to skip you in case you wanted to post there.

[horngeek]

I'm not entirely sure what Exalted Caste the Exalt will be... tossing up between Dawn, Zenith and Eclipse.

In other words, General-King/Queen, Priest(ess)-King/Queen or Diplomat-King/Queen. Hmmm...

If you want, the Operative could simply read into his mind a little and get a good sense of his abilities from that. Read his character sheet, and I don't think he's immune to psionics.

So with the (relatively) recent successes of the BDD and Temperance Teahouse, I was wondering if there'd be more interest for the return/re-envisioning of Restaurant Enchante this time around. Basically, an upscale, top-quality restaurant with a classy atmosphere, probably in Inside's Blue Zone, but it could be in Northside as well (though truth be told I'm not at all familiar with Riverside, so someone correct me if a hideously-expensive fancy restaurant has no place there). The first Restaurant Enchante was run by an illusionist, and had an epic level illusion cast on it so that the theme could be whatever the guest wanted, though I'm considering different ownership this time around.
Kal's mother, to be precise.

Nope, Psionics is probably his only weakness.

[happyturtle]

The main problem with Enchante was that it would be two people who would go in, talk romantic to one another, and have no interaction with anyone else. So, kind of boring for the players, though quite pleasant for the characters I'm sure. Have you thought of a way around that?

*Exception: The date with Butler, Decker, Vidalia, and the ball pit.

Sounds good to me. Harnel would probably end up bringing Cessie there

[Devixer]

Well, there we go. your elf-dude can run into the Operative somewhere, and he can see how useful he would be for MURDER.

In any case, while I'm a lot more iffy about a straight-out Space Marine DB, a DB who has a suit of Essence-powered armor is fine.

[Zefir]

Dark Apprentice can I imagine that he also contact Fade ?

[Devixer]

Yeah, it's safe to assume that the Operative sent Fade a message to come on over.

[Ashen Lilies]

Is it reasonable to assume Kal could have tracked someone there?

Have you thought of a way around that?

:(

[Devixer]

Sure, especially since the Operative wasn't being too secretive about it. Any shady PC will be able to get there.

[Morty]

Regarding the Exalt-led city, I'm still willing to play a Hunter-led resistance movement.

[Mina Kobold]

Aww, cute rain goddess. X3

The Escape plot is dead? Aww, I liked it. It had funny AI in it!

Is the Chtulhu stuff still going?

Saurous, did you notice Lewis also throwing something at the Gazebo? I think he did.

And that's about all my questions unrelated to pancakes, so back to catching up!

"Cessie did mention that, I should comment that her first responsibility as a mage still lies within the Hestopian nation however." Tyra comments as Dara suddenly looks rather panicked.

"...well, thank you meser, but we should be going now. Someone have found them I think." She replies quickly and attempts to lead the group away from Kobe and Tyra.

"Two fey have been spotted, naked on white rose street some distance from here. Is that them?" Tyra whispers as they are outside hearing range.

This post is confusing. I can't tell if you got the names mixed up, or the speech colors, and who's talking to whom. Could you please clarify?

Ugh... sorry, I got the names wrong. The last one is supposed to be Dara, I'll correct it now.
