Arielle tucks her hands in the pockets of her short jacket. "I'd like to have a look at their souls, but the only subtle arcanum I know is Prime. I wonder... If we looked at Honey's Sheut, would it be damaged or missing? Is anything else damaged? And what about Hannah?" "There it is!" Hannah says, "the red truck over there. Fucker."

I imagine it's not just the sheut that's damaged, but it might be the... the conduit. I think we should bring up this question on our next meeting with Heimarmene. I'm sure she's got some insights into this stuff." Valerie wheels on by his truck and humms thoughtfully. After a bit of thinking, she puts the breaks on her chair and slides off of it to sit on the floor and peek underneath it. With a few chirps of commands, she reaches out with her rod to poke the wheel axle. _{Control Sound! Gnosis 3, Forces 3, Persona 3, High Speech 2, Rod 1, -2 duration, -2 potency. Instant cast.} 1b0SGuDp8d10 1d10 _{4 succ} Then she slips back up into her chair. "There. For the next month, the wheel axle will create quadruple the noise it normally does at a higher pitch than normal, but it will come from inside the engine block. So when he parks in a garage and they test the engine, it won't make the noise he says it makes, until he starts leaving when it will. That ought to drive him nuts. Here, you get to hold my prank." She pokes Ashlyn to hand her the spell.8d10·1d10

They approach the house, of similar design to their father's but blue instead of white. Honey's shaking, and Ashlyn pulls her into a tight hug. The windows are ripe with flowers, loving the sun, though their edges are a bit wilted from a lack of water.

"As we were." Given she's in for a lot of tech support to try and get her business back into existence, she imagines there might be a few clouds coming by to rain on them out of frustration. Failing that, she can always call for a change in weather to help them along. Of course, for now, they have to figure out how to get two religious people to accept that they have both a creature of magic and a magicked human as two daughters... Between her and Arielle, though, they should be able to make an iron clad case for the truth. Prime is not denied. "How should we approach, sis? Hannah gets them to come out and we convey Honey's tale behind Words of Truth?"

She brushes a hand in her hair, then nods to Hannah. "Let's head in, then? And do what we can."

Pictures of family are intermixed with pictures of Jesus. "Mom! Dad! I have visitors!" Looking at the photos on the side tables and walls, she can see Hannah's transition from a buck-toothed, adorable little girl with long hair to a surly teenager who lopped it off and glared at the camera. There's no recent pictures of her. No one's in the front room, but a moment later a middle aged housewife emerges from the kitchen, her brown hair streaked with grey. She spares a disapproving look at Hannah before sweeping her gaze over the rest of them. Arielle - with her proudly-displayed scar and bare midriff - gets another disapproving tightening, but Ashlyn gets an approving look and Valerie a sympathetic one, and Honey... She grips her skirt, uncertain as she lays eyes on her. Valerie isn't a Space mage, she doesn't know the ins and outs of Sympathy, but on some level she knows her daughter. Profoundly, Valerie feels a sense that she was cheated. If she were a mage or had knowledge of such things, she'd know to listen to her instincts, but she isn't, and so she self-denies and breaks her own heart. Valerie will never experience aging unless she chooses to, never decay or grey or lose her verve.

Had she known about magic and the supernal, or changelings, then it would have been dead obvious that this wasn't her daughter anymore, or that something happened. But to assume kidnapping and magical replacement, well... That's beyond the scope of mortal comprehension. All because of some worthless 'gods on earth' who decided that an all-consuming, infectious void would look good sitting where a staircase used to be. Valerie gives her a smile in greeting, though, polite to the end. "Hello. How are you today, miss?" This is going to be painful before it's better, but, with a bit of magic, it will get better. It has to.

"Hannah, I haven't prepared for visitors." A man comes down from upstairs, wood chips dusting his trousers. Must be a whittler, and the wooden carvings around the house are probably his. "They're not friends." She goes over to Honey. Valerie can see Hannah's shadow twitch, echoing the turmoil that must even now be roiling inside her. She's still convinced that she's the original and Honey an interloper. "Mom, Dad... Christ, I don't know where to start." "Don't take the Lord's name in vain, Hannah. What is it?"

Valerie's job right now is to get Honey accepted with the least amount of casualties, and that is now including Hannah. And so, this is where the magic happens. "If I may." She steeples her fingers for a moment before speaking. And though she speaks in high speech, she is understood clearly. _{As Above, So Below rote. Gnosis 3, Prime 3, Persona 3, High Speech 2, Academics 2, potency -4. Reach Instant, Reach 8-again.} ARUOAoQe9d10 _{Words of Truth!

Using the exceptional success on giving them Informed (Hannah/Honey.)} Color drains subtly from about her, but she knows their eyes are on her rather than their environment as she chirps and trills at them, words they understand perfectly for as long as she speaks them. "Ten years ago, your daughter was abducted by a being not of this world. He took her to his realm with the intent on toying with her as a child toys with a toy. But no one truly noticed, or at least truly believed, because he created a second victim to leave in her place, one who, clearly, was never truly at home in her own skin, and so she rebelled, unaware of her tragic roots. "By sheer raw willpower and desire and love, however, Hannah clawed her way out of captivity and found friends. Changed, scarred in ways you cannot picture because of extenuating circumstances, she watched, yearning, until friends who could help her pass the threshold and tell you herself who she truly is. "You have two daughters who are of the same soul, miss and sir, and both are deeply scarred. I urge you to be there for them. Repair your family, for you have the unique chance to have it be whole again." 9d10·12d10·4d10·1d10

"And this is why we are here today."

Honey's face streams tears, but she's happy, glad to hear herself affirmed so. Her mother and father gape with astonishment, and struggle to deny what they've been told. Watching the effect she has, barging into their lives and tearing them forcibly from the Lie, is beautiful and powerful, making her feel powerful, not like a helpless cripple. Hannah breaks down in tears. "Stop! It's not true! I'm not... I'm not a copy..." Arielle adds her voice, then, blazing with power. "I'm sorry, Hannah, but you have it wrong. My sister did not say that - you are a part of her as she is a part of you, just a I am of my sister and she of me." She whimpers and sinks to the earth, and Honey, reversing her earlier wish towards violence, crouches and holds her tightly.

Magic is the balm that has been lifted off of humanity for way too long. About time they do something about it, bit by bit. Valerie laces her fingers together, looking down at Hannah and Honey. "Your kidnapper shore off a piece of Honey's soul, and from it you came," she clarifies. "As a result, you are a duplicate, yes... but not a fake, not where it matters." She closes her eyes, then looks back up at the parents. "Sorry, this is ... a lot to take in, but it is the objective truth, or we could not have said it."

"Baby?" she asks, coming closer to the two of them. Both Honey and Hannah look up simultaneously, and she crouches with them, looking into each of their faces. "Mom?" Honey holds herself back, uncertain. "Oh, God... Harold, they're exactly the same, down to every blemish." Of course, Hannah and Honey's friends can't see that, but surely they are identical in human form. When her mother wraps her arms about the two of them, she melts in and sniffles. "It's not possible, Mary," Harold protests. She can see him struggling to deny what he knows to be true. "Hannah's godless, and she's invited the Devil into her life. Now she's in ours, too, because we didn't push her out." "Dad? What are you saying?" "Don't call me that!" he snaps, going over to the huddle and reaching for his wife. "Mary, get away from-" Arielle catches his hand before he can touch them. He tries to pull free, and, big man though he is, Arielle's grip would rival iron. Ashlyn shifts slightly.

She's here to give Honey and Hannah the chance to be who they are meant to be, just like her and Arielle are becoming who they are supposed to be. One soul, two beings. Just like them. Just need to get this stubborn fool to see it. The color drains from about her once again, this time centering around him. C9U3HkQQ12d10 _{2 succ} "The courage it took for her to step in here, apologetic for no reason besides misplaced guilt, to meekly ask for her life back. The courage it took for her soul-sister to even allow the attempt at all, for a life she disliked but still thought was hers and hers alone. "Do not belittle the effort, old man, and open your eyes. There is no devil here. Love alone is what brought her today. If you intend to claim Godly creed, then follow all of it and do not cherry pick: As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. ... For the Lord reproves him whom he loves, as a father the son in whom he delights."12d10

Just a few - the backs of her hands, her shoulders, her lower back, her forehead - but Hannah's old man puts his back against the wall in holy terror as she speaks. And why shouldn't he? She is an angel, however divided, and her fury is just and righteous. (Gain a WP for Proud. Plus a Gnostic beat and a point of mana for Dominate Others.) Arielle puts a hand on her shoulder. "I think we've done what we came here to do. Let's go, Sis."

"Yeah." She turns her wheelchair and begins to head out, pausing to put a hand to Honey's shoulder and give her a smile. At least she has one of them. "Call anytime, as always. I'll want news of the aftermath." She then wheels on past her and back out of the house, letting off a breath. "...brought in the devil my ass..."

"That was pretty cool." The sky rumbles with thunderheads rising off the Pacific, a stiff wind rising. Arielle sets her down on the street outside.

He needed the heavy hand." She looks up at the sky as the clouds begin roiling, frowning. She really did get angry, the sky says as much. "I'll calm down. But... thanks. It felt pretty good to let loose. after this morning's frustration." Maybe she can find a way to direct that energy at the Seers who are trying to take her business down and shove their nose in it.

If anything, she gets more so as she battles with emails from her providers, protesting her closure and threatening legal action. Directing traffic to the new private circle and setting up a link for PayPal donations only nets a trickle of each. The storms continue. Oh well - the city was overdue for some rain, right? She gets a Skype message from Powershell letting her know that the Chairwoman has reached out to mages embedded in the affected companies, so there's that at least. Her income for the day is still zero, though.

She has some support, but fucking shit she's tired of this 'guilty until innocent' mindset companies adopt with their customers, because some dumbass thought it a good idea to give corporations just as many, if not more, rights than people. Counter-claim, email evidence of lack of guilt, open a temporary twitter account to hype the videos on Powershell's server and get it echoed up by her friends. Email a couple media outlets, hope they pick her story up and help put a bit of pressure with their readers. She still won't work for the seers, not even with that kind of pressure, but it's still demoralizing.

It's hard to be depressed all the time. In her darkest moments, when the pain of being who she was grew to eclipse her gentleness, a burning fury would overtake her. Now she feels a bit of that state again, glaring at her screens as she waits for word, any word. The donations are growing as word gets around YouTube, at least, and that blunts her anger a bit, but it doesn't change one thing: her relative powerlessness. She walks the Path of the Mighty, she's an angel in human flesh, and this shit is in her way. -----Valerie----- The issue, of course, is that magic can’t solve this. She can’t magic her way to the review board of all the websites and magic their decision. She could with the right arcana, but even then it’s probably steeped in bureaucracy and computerized systems with contingencies and redundancies and completely overkill, unnecessariness-ies. So now she’s just... left sitting here, steepling her fingers, while looking at her email for anything. -----GM----- Shame she isn't a Fate mage. Though she does know an Adept intimately. -----Valerie----- She’s not sure if Fate will help her here - not since, odds are, there’s some asshole seer acanthus maintaining some fate bullshit over her accounts. -----Valerie----- Still, worth seeing if he can do anything to help... She sends him a message to see if he’s in the whereabouts. -----GM----- [Hey, what's up, beautiful? I'm down in Mountain View with my folks.] -----Valerie----- [Glad you’re somewhere else so you don’t have to deal with my weather. I’m still fuming with little progress made.] -----GM----- [...actually, that explains why there's a major storm here. It's by the strength of sympathy, love, and we're strongly connected.] -----GM----- [What's wrong?] -----Valerie----- [Sorry about that. I contested every claim, I provided evidence, I contacted every support, and I still don’t have my business back, or my audience, or my videos, and the most I’ve gotten was canned auto-responses along the lines of ‘we’ve received your blah blah blah and will respond to you in what we call timely fashion but is more at our convenience, and this is really inconvenient for us so good luck.’] -----GM----- The phone buzzes with a call from him. -----Valerie----- She clicks the receive call and puts him on speaker. “Hey, baby.” -----GM----- "Hey, love. You decent?" -----Valerie----- “I’m clothed, yeah.” -----GM----- "Incoming." With a rush he appears next to her. -----GM----- After a brief tingle of magic -----Valerie----- She was looking to her left, but he pops in on the right, and so she startles a bit. “..that’s really useful. Hello.” -----GM----- "I briefly co-located your room and my backyard. Trivial to step between with Space senses." He gives her a hug and nuzzles her hair. -----GM----- Him and his Schroedinger's cat tricks -----Valerie----- Space makes no sense, but she’s glad for it nonetheless. She puts an arm about him to give him a squeeze, the other still on the mouse. “So, I was wondering if you had something you could do here. Problem is, if they are keeping an active spell, it might turn into a tug-o-war.” -----GM----- "What's the worst they could do in response, really? Escalate, sure, but if we don't attack them directly that's another thing." -----Valerie----- “Yeah, well... I’d be sorely tempted to. Should’ve seen what Araqiel saw. Terrible.” she pokes her tongue out, then motions. “The floor is yours, though.” -----GM----- He squeezes her arm -----GM----- "There is something." -----GM----- "Do you know about the Strings of Fate rote?" -----Valerie----- “I’m afraid not.” -----GM----- "It's pretty simple in the abstract." He puts his fingers together like he's performing a cat's cradle. "I specify an event. If it's impossible, it fails. If it can happen without magic and with little effort, it will happen as soon as possible. I could, say, specify that you will recover a particular stolen artifact, and as time goes on you'll find coincidences enabling that possibility." -----Valerie----- “...wow. That sounds really solid. Seems to be operating on way more than just fate.” She pauses and frowns. “..though I’m thinking like an Obrimos.” -----GM----- "You really are, babe~ People underrate Fate, but if you stick with it, it can do some amazing things. I could make someone blind with a glare, and as a Master I could make someone fall out of a plane without major injuries or cause an unscheduled eclipse." -----Valerie----- “Well, how about we start with something a little less miraculous and cataclysmic as shifting the moon out of its orbit, and just go with ‘Valerie gets back control of her business and media accounts.’” -----GM----- "Your wish is my command. I'll make this one a ritual - a little more force wouldn't be untoward." -----Valerie----- “I can get you a as above, so below to help out?” -----GM----- "That'd be great." -----Valerie----- “Name your tools specifically.” -----GM----- He pulls his phone out. "My Pixel~" -----Valerie----- “Isn’t that a cute name.” She snickers, and chirps out at it to call it out specifically. (gnosis 3, prime 3, academics 2, high speech 2, persona 3.

She had found herself kind of lulled watching him move and chant, to be honest. -----GM----- It doesn't help that he's hot as hell. -----Valerie----- Alternatively, it totally helps. -----Valerie----- “So, anything I should do to help it along, fairy god mother, or should I just not resist it?” -----GM----- He leans in, brushing her lips. -----GM----- "You'll get an opportunity today, and every day for the next month until it happens or I'll renew it - but hey, if you want a little cheering up, I can make that happen right now~" -----Valerie----- She smooches him. “Not quite in a frisky mood right now, besides which, Ashlyn is in the other room and I have a bit of consideration there.” She snickers. “I’d give her advanced notice, anyway.”

Razoric Ascended I have made 2,289 posts Right now I'm Offline I joined February 2017 My gender is Male	[Archive] Sometimes, Walking is a Triumph May 21, 2017 11:38:29 GMT -8 Post by Razoric on May 21, 2017 11:38:29 GMT -8 -----GM----- His tail lashes, but he nuzzles and squeezes her before getting up. He's certainly become horny since his experience, but he has a large bowl of sweetness to blunt it with. "Okay. You going to be okay on your own?" -----Valerie----- Poor kitten. She’ll find a bit of time to tend to him soon enough, once the stressful stuff has abated. Honestly, she’ll probably need it herself anyway. “Mh, I should be, especially with some of your magic on my side.” -----GM----- "All right. See you~" Pop. And then he's gone. Not long after, she gets a flood of interview requests in her inbox. -----Valerie----- “See ya, hon.” She smiles, then turns to her email and quirks a brow. Wow... That stuff is efficient. And so begins the triage and research, to see which of those she’d not mind - or want to - be associated with and which she’d prefer to steer clear from. -----GM----- Tech sites like Ars Technica and Wired along with feminist ones like Jezebel. -----Valerie----- Hard to refuse that kind of pedigree. She responds to the lot to set up timeslots and provide statements, depending. She then opens another document and begins to set up the script for her next Watchtowers video. See, she’d normally have waited until she introduced all the arcana before doing the lesson on the abyss, but now that its agents have fucked with her, it’s the next one on the agenda.
