Theo Anders and the Black Exaltation[Worm/Exalted][Hiatus]

[Snake/Eater]

The third performance excellency is a terrible choice. If you don't want to botch, just take the 2nd excellency. In general, 3rd excellencies are useless for Solaroids. There's a good reason that Infernals don't even have them.

Okay i'm going 2nd.... but I guess TDP is keeping 3rd

 

[Weero]

Isn't the 2nd excellency basically for things where you need to be guaranteed those successes?

Oh, and:

[theonebutcher]

Charisma? Not appearance? We only fuck with four dice? Unacceptable! The first excellency is the best one for this. If we have the second we can make sure every time we have sex we are at least acceptable. If we take the third we can make up for bad rolls, that is if we totally fail to make her cum we can try again. But if we take the first: Pretty often we will do well at sex, only seldom will we leave our partner unsatisfied, but in a longer relationship that just sometimes happens. However... sometimes... We roll good with eight dice, we are a porno character come to life. And in the Memories of our ladies the best sex they ever had with us and the last sex they had with us will be at the forefront of their minds, so our peak performance will count for fifty per cent of their perception.

I am just sad we don't come to over ten dice, meaning we won't be a divine sex machine, only a really good lay.

Final Vote Count. Plan Bii wins by the Tanuki's tail hairs. We will be banking our XP. There will be a fade to black type bit, TDP going 'not a virgin anymore, its official,' sleepy time, going to Kayden's, and Kayden seeing the new you. Then day with Aster, Kayden, and the Schmidts (Night and Fog). All of which should go by pretty quickly. Then Christmas and nifty gifts. Then dedicated training, date with Lisa, more dedicated training, date with Amy, TDP's initiation/debut, school starts. Barring anything crazy. I'm hoping to plow through the next few updates, and start getting into being a gang member, balancing the crazy that is TDP's social life, and waging gang war.

-[X] There are only two True Rules. The first is simple: do not run afoul of those with more power than yourself. In even simpler terms: don't get caught. Brad has broken this rule at least twice that you know of. Perhaps that is why he is uncharacteristically cautious in this respect.
--[X] The second True Rule is thus: rules have power only when those with power enforce them. You have power, of which knowledge is but one component, and will only accumulate more as you grow. If your parahuman lessers wish to continue to hamstring themselves by obeying and trusting in these unwritten... guidelines... to protect them from their selective ignorance, you see no reason not to take full advantage of their error.
-[X] The way you define 'those you wish to kill' and 'those you wish to spare' is of course very different than that of the typical skinheads that fill the Empire's middle and lower ranks, but they don't need to know that until it's too late.

You had been mulling over the 'rules' that Brad lay out earlier since he said them. It is as you approach your door that you finally settling on the rules making sense, for now. Things may change with time, and even with the limitations of the rules, acceptable targets exist.

With any luck they will suffice. If they don't? You give a mental as you pass by the dining room, heading to yours. Fuck the rules. The only real rule about rules was don't get caught. That was true whether you were a pitiful mortal or a prince such as yourself.

You open your door, and turn on the light. You are momentarily stopped by the surprising sight of Jessica, clothed only in a short nightie, lying seductively on top of your bed covers.

The question of why she was waiting in the dark, flits through your mind.

Her eyes are half lidded and hungry, and her face bears a sultry smirk.

"Hello there, Theo," she purrs, following it by an obviously faked shiver, "I've been so cold waiting for you. Come warm me up?"

You give her a dashing smile of your own. Jessica in your bed? She wants to honor her end of the deal from yesterday. Before you manage to lose your virginity on your own.

Like you could've with Amy Dallon, like you probably could have with Sabah. Especially given the older girl's utterance as you left.

You decide that Jessica should feel your displeasure at being denied, just because she wanted to be your first, by being confronted with how easily you could have forced the deal to be invalid.

You let her lie.

"Hello, Jessica, I'll be just a minute."

Her response is cut off by the first brightly colored thong leaving your pocket, entering her view, and being laid on the desk with the young lady's name stated. It's followed shortly by a few more, a total of seven pieces of ladies undergarments lay on your desk, alongside which you place the notes your received in a more traditional manner.

"And the coup de grace," you make sure she sees you reaching into your jack and removing the red and white thong that had been tucked in there by its previous owner, "the panties of the infamously distant Amy Dallon. With whom I have a hot date this Friday."

This rainbow of Marks of Conquest decorate the desk that you usually did your homework on, as you finally turn enough that you can see Jessica's face clearly. There was some tension in her face that told you that your message has been received. Furthermore she was jealous that you had so many woman after you. Not just Sabah.

You didn't need her pity or a bet to get laid. Not anymore. Jessica needed to know that. You weren't going to be her easily accessed toy.

You were also aware that after this night, the word of your masculinity would be gleefully spread and exaggerated. You were going to exceed those exaggerations anyway.

Now that you were done making her jealous, you were going to excite her.

"I'll admit," you say as you begin to carefully remove and store your suit, it wouldn't do to ruin the very nice clothes, that actually fit you, "I didn't expect this so soon."

Her eyes are glued to your body, roaming it, her hands clutched at your comforter, and her red lips were being licked.

"I keep my word. Your virginity is mine."

Your smile turned smug, Jessica positively radiated excitement and arousal. She needed you. And when you finally are fully undress and turn to face her, she practically launches herself off the bed, grabs your hand and pulls you on top of her as she falls onto her back.

Her lips sought yours and her hands-

We are experiencing technical difficulties, please enjoy this message from our sponsors.

Spoiler

Thank you for waiting patiently. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Jessica crawls out from under the covers and gently lays herself on your chest, smacking her lips, her eyes now half-lidded with fatigue. She snuggles into you and falls fast asleep, with a final sleepy mumble of 'so good.'

She's sticky and slick with sweat. There is a huge wet spot on your bed, forcing you to be squeezed up onto the very edge of it or lay in it. Jessica is uncomfortably hot, though her soft curves are still pleasant against you. Your berries hurt, and feel incredibly empty.

You, yourself, were sticky and slick with various bodily fluids. Jessica's mouth had probably graced every inch of your front, and with her leg over yours, she was leaking onto you.

All of these things no one ever told you about sex, and that you didn't experience with the Lover, that were... less than pleasant.

They were still dwarfed by the awesome that was sex and that was dwarfed by the fact you were officially no longer a virgin.

A smile dopey smile graces your face, and you fall asleep yourself.

=====

You dream again, of the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears, and though you remember it perfectly, the dream itself was hazy. Shadows swirled, and fog drifted. You get the impression that the Lover is pleased with your actions so far.

=====

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Once the morning came you received a very surprising wake up, afterwards Jessica walked with a wobbly in her step, but proudly in her birthday suit back to her room, leaving her nightie and other underclothes in yours.

"There is nothing shameful about what happened last night," she said giving you a kiss on the cheek, "Let's do it again sometime."

Breakfast was a little awkward, with Max being purposefully oblivious to the world around him, and Nessa's foot spontaneously appearing your lap. You were sure it was Nessa, because Jessica was in full lazy day mode, and the blonde that jumped, when you tickled the foot, wasn't plopped lazily in her seat.

Max cleared his throat and stood.

"We're leaving in a half-hour, Theo. Johann dropped off a few more outfits yesterday while you were reading. The box is in the coat room. Make sure to have your things ready to go as well. Girls," he waved at the new table in the dining room currently covered in dishes, and left the room. The twins pouted but did as they were bid and you left to get your box.
It was time to go to Kayden's and see little Aster.

=====

Walking outside and seeing your own shadow twist in unnatural ways, and out of time with yourself was a bit startling.

Tell Max?:

[] Yes

[] No

You otherwise make small talk with your dad on the way to your sister's mother's place. The two of you did briefly cover when your initiation was going to happen, the night of January 1st. But not what it would entail.

'You need to get used to very long nights' was the argument used to counter staying up late for the new year. You suppose that was very true, Max frequently only slept for a few hours a night, with a nap just before dinner time.

He doesn't help you bring your box of goodies or overnight bag up the stairs, after you were buzzed in. The split with Kayden left everyone involved with bad feelings. Max' just were the most intense.

You raise your hand and knock on the door. It opens shortly, the mousy yet beautiful brunette Kayden, mother of your sister opens it. In full costume.

Not her Purity costume, but a Christmas elf outfit. Mrs. Schmidt is wearing a matching one of her own, her gentle if ever present vacant smile seems a bit more genuine. Mr. Schmidt is in a chair visible from the door, wearing a terribly tacky sweater and holding Aster.

Spoiler: "Red and white stockings and curly toed flat elf boots instead"

Spoiler: "The Tacky Sweater"

"Theo, we wer- Who are you?" her voice, starting out warm, turns hard, "Where is my stepson?"

What do?:
[] You are/were Theo.

[] Turn it around, mock her, teasingly, for assuming you aren't/weren't Theo.

[] Play along, get her to do something like call Max. And confirm that you are/were Theo

[] Write in

Keywords: Avatar (1), Combo-OK, Compulsion, Mirror
(Taboo-Inflicting Diatribe)
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: None
Acting with the authority of the murdered architects of the universe, the Abyssal hands down binding commandments that a society must follow. These are the Old Laws, small excerpts of an infinite litany of denial which rolls through the black dreams of the Neverborn. This Charm is similar to Taboo-Inflicting Diatribe (see Exalted, p. 238), save that it does not create a taboo or fad, but a law. The Abyssal's Socialize roll suffers a -1 external penalty if the majority of the targeted social group's members are alive, and a separate -3 external penalty if the Old Law he hands down has nothing to do with death or the dead.

Relevant Mirror Text

'This Charm is a Socialize-based social attack to compel a social group with Magnitude 1+. The character must have spent several hours within the last month encouraging the desired attitude within this group before using this Charm, and this Charm must be invoked in the presence of at least one member of that group. The Exalt's player rolls ([Charisma or Manipulation] + Socialize). Subtract an external penalty equal to the leader's MDV plus half of the group's Magnitude from the rolled successes If the character succeeds, the social group adopts a taboo or fad of the character's choice. The society instantly integrates the taboo or fad into its Policy. The taboo or fad remains part of the group's Policy until the group's leader spends a total of 10 Loyalty, at most one per week, to remove it. It is also a part of the Policy of any social groups of Magnitude 1+ that splinter off from the target group, and the leader of those groups must spend a total of 10 Loyalty, at most one per week, to remove it.

This Charm has no effect on individuals, save that breaking the new rules of their society can make them outcasts. Its primary function outside of narrative time is to limit the actions that social groups can take.'

You sighed and scratched the back of your head, even as you didn't quite shuffle on your feet even as the essence in you blossomed like a puppy that wanted to halp you do what you needed to do. You allowed your essence to boost your charisma because you REALLY didn't want to find out how much it'd hurt to be hit by Kayden's lasers or worse... find out that you disappointed her. "I'm really sorry... but I am joining the Empire. It's not like I have a choice."

You directed a pointed look at the Schmidts, indicating Gesellschaft or the [Society] as they were known. Given that they had been created by them... with actual trauma, it wasn't that surprising. Still, you continued to speak.

"You know that this would happen if I gained powers and became a cape. Besides, it's not going to be a bad thing... the city is in bad shape, and well, I intent to fix it and the Empire is the best way that I can see it being done."

Theo doesn't like Kayden, he was indifferent to her when his dad was alive.

it's only after his father died and on the run that he started to care for her because he was being tormented by Crusader, Night and Fog into triggering, that he saw her for the first time as his protector.

he respects her but that's it.
