Trials of the God-Harem King [Highschool DxD/Exalted] (CLOSED)

[megrisvernin]

megrisvernin I'm sorry I'd love it if you were right here, but no, Issei is not the sort of person who will bend over and take this sort of crap from someone let alone some nobody who has barged his way into his friends territory and tried to order around someone he considered under his friends protection *Issei* there is no way this is not coming to blows, and anyway if we really need to its not like we can't convince everyone else he was in the wrong, creatures of darkness + various solar presence charms remember

Hmm. Fair point. Issei doesn't have to be hospitable.

Mostly because Sovereign of the Radiant Scales is our true name, or one of them now. Our Solar name that incapsulates who we are.

It also plays off our earlier insult that we don't know who he is.

I hope we get to really cut loose. so far we held back our hits so that they weren't inflicting too much damage. huh where is that won't die even if killed image?

issei should totally bring that up, it works nice as intimidation

"you won't die even if I kill you, yes?"

"Good, A chance to really cut loose!"

"So you won't die even if I kill you, ehh?"

You give Raiser a feral grin. "One of the problems with my abilities is that I have to hold back or I might cripple or kill my opponents. But that's not a worry with you is it? Infact...One might think this an opportunity. After all I've never had a chance to refine some of my techniques more lethal attacks, but now I have a ragdoll who'll respawn whatever I do to it! Now let's get to testing!

The vote feels plain, but I guess that's fine for now. The other one were we give our title might be met with a non-recognition.

Oh yeah! Are we low on willpower making half-castes out of our followers?

Should we stunt to recover any?

We shouldn't be given how our forces currently are. Cults awesome like that.

No, you're full. Bright make a point to have Issei always with a mostly full source of motes, Willpower and other bonus. That's why only Mittelt and Shougo are Half-Caste for now.

Her paranoia trait skyrocketed since she woke up in Issei's soul. And with reasons...

 

[EternitynChaos]

ok this is one of the better explenations for UMI's I've ever seen, and I like it ^^ and as you can guess felt the need to share /laugh

Rip van Mason had a really nice interpretation of this; he treated "unnatural mental influence" as "you have passed the bounds of the realistic and gone into the mythic". When James Bonds seduces a woman, or Batman intimidates a bar full of goons, or people look upon Galadriel and fall in love, all three of them are using what Exalted would call unnatural mental influence. Their charm/scariness/beauty has gone beyond what is physically possible, and gone into what is only mythically possible. So when a player character uses a Charm that causes unnatural mental influence, then the object of that charm realizes that they are in touch with a transcendent, mythic force. They realize that what's happening is important. Now, transcendent moments can be good or bad -- Paul on the road to Damascus got hit with an unnatural mental influence he was happy with, for example.

makes sense to me anyway /shrug

and yeah Alexander, can't imagine why Bright's had a sudden paranoia spike, I mean its not like people she trusted betrayed her and killed off the Civilization she helped build and everyone she knew... oh wait never mind ;p

That's pretty much the way it's always been. "UMI is mind rape" is something the fandom made up.

Which reminds me, we should probably pick up Hypnotic Tongue Technique sooner or later. It might come in handy during a Ward rescue mission. "Release your hostages" or something.

Yes! Finally we meet Riser. And I'm completely fine with being needlessly antagonistic towards him!

Ya, I'd just never come across that explanation to it before, and felt if I hadn't other probably hadn't as well, so why not share it and all that, and yeah getting some more social charms sooner rather then later would probably be a good plan, since for all we are punch mc think fight we play more like a diplomancer when we can ^^; with the exception of asshats like our current guest, I'm still amazed we walked out of the meeting with Odin without a fight personally ^^;

Ah well, so many charms, and all that, still keeping a debt buy charm slot open for something like that would hardly go amiss if nothing else even if we need to focus on other things atm what with Vali and Co ^^

Hitting bed now. Due to circumstances I can do only one update at day, instead of the two I planned.

So if by the time I wake up (10 hours from now) there is a vote count I will appreciate it. 'Night.

 

[EternitynChaos]

later Alexander, sleep well and looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us, as I'm sure the others are as well.

It's not needlessly antagonistic. We gave him a specific answer.

"I'm a friend of Rias and a contracted magician trading favors with the Gremory family.

The favors part in particular should tip him off. The second is a sharp rebuke, but completely within the lines of edict. We're informing him that he isn't following proper protocol & hinting strongly that if he offers it(gives his name) we'll reciprocate.

By Japanese edict, which revolves & subtly & knowing how you're expected to act even in unfamiliar circumstances, we're literally shouting at him that he's being rude. Culturally its consistent for Issei, and doesn't needlessly escalate.

It's the sort of thing he can't twist to his advantage if he tries to explain the situation away to his family & make him sound like an idiot. Not really much of a concern, but we'll let him escalate. Also I want everyone, even those close to him, to be able to agree Raiser was a complete asshole here.

Edit-I just realized a fight with Raiser here is likely to destroy the Occult Club Room, mostly because of his fire abilities.

even if it blows up we can rebuild. We have the magictech!
