[OoC][Exalted 2.5] Emerald Labyrinth

[Wise Old Guru]

So...Nergui's invited the Immaculate Monks to dinner back at his airship. So hopefully, assuming you lot haven't found other lodging in the town yet, that'll be some fun social dynamics.

Now he's toddling off to buy up supplies for the ship, leaving the puppeteer and her interesting PC sister behind, but he's running a bit behind the rest of Mercantile Posse. Sort of in between PCs to interact with here.

[wonderandawe]

Zarah will be back for dinner. She is planning on checking out Rehhanz's kid and will probably want to see if the Lunars have any ideas on how to handle this creature that is eating all the explorers.

[Dietaku]

She abandoned the martial arts during her run of vagrancy in Yu Shan. Master Five still hadn't quite convinced her to take it up again when she returned to Creation. Needless to say, she's also incredibly out of practice.

Ah, okay, that makes sense. I was just wondering, is all.

[wonderandawe]

Hey, Revenge of the TV Head. Did your character arrive on the airship with us and is aware that we are all Evil Soul Eating Anathema*? And we know that she is cool with that?

*not actually evil or soul eating. Unless said souls are deep fried. Might be tempted if someone figured out how to deep fry soul.

[The Revenge of TV Head]

Maybe, I'm running under the assumption that at least one of you was the Anathema she chased through that Calibration Gate. Any volunteers?

[wonderandawe]

My character has never been to Yu Shan.

But you can say that you followed a Sidereal? Most Lunars and Solars aren't allowed into Yu Shan.

[dreamking89]

I've established that Orca has been an Exalted long enough to build a name for himself in the West, but I don't think he's been to Yu-Shan yet. I don't think I could work it into his backstory even if I tried.

[Exthalion]

I suppose Infernal In Yu-Shan can only do wonders for my 'nathema cred. If no one else wants to.

I don't want to butt in to everybody's story if they don't want me there.

[Magnusar]

Unrestrained Lover is not even aware that Yu-Shan exist, can't help you either sorry.

[Noodle]

Joachim probably wouldn't even want to go to Yu Shan, even without the possibility of running into a Sidereal. Hmm.

...wait. Ascendant Sword is the Anathema!

Also, Dietaku- It's spelled Hayama, not Haiyama.

[Noodle]

The steward was a razor of cold iron, and would spill and ocean of gossamer until it met something it could not cut.

This is going on Joachim's business cards. Also, Joachim is now apparently printing business cards.

[The Revenge of TV Head]

Guys, Yu Shan isn't that dangerous for Celestials and it's not like the Sidereals will try anything in the middle of the Carnival of Meeting. Even if Sol wasn't walking the streets (and he is) there's too much Calibration bullshit going on to waste time and money on an Immaculate and a Celestial Exalt doing a Yakkety Sax bit through the streets of Heaven.

Pfeh, screw it, guess I followed Merciful, who is at the moment impossible for Xisa to recognize.

[Noodle]

I know it's not that dangerous for celestials, especially in one of Dietaku's games! One time, my Gold Faction Reckoner PC broke into Chejop Kejak's house with a Night-caste, and we both survived. Hell, the dude even offered us tea when we ran into him! Turns out, he's a pretty nice guy once you get to know him.

Anyways, the fact that I know that doesn't mean that Joachim does. His knowledge of Heaven is minimal at best, and the fact that his mentor told him there's hostile Exalted there is probably more than enough to dissuade him.

And I was actually serious about Ascendant Sword being the Anathema, BTW.

[wonderandawe]

To be honest, I'm also playing Zarah with minimal knowledge of Yu Shan and Sidereals. They are supposed to be forgotten from creation, so the majority of my Characters don't know about them.

Anyways, if Zarah actually managed to get to Yu Shan, she'd never leave. An Eclipse Caste with five dots of Beaucracy would be right at home in Yu Shan.

*Now wants to see an Immaculate and a Celestial Exalt doing a Yakkety Sax bit through the streets of Heaven*

Thinking about how I want Orca to be an established name in the West before he took off for the Labyrinth, I suppose "crashing a party in Heaven" is probably something he'd do. So if you wanna use Orca for your backstory TV Head, you are welcome to.

I'd just like to work out the specifics of what happened, how well they know each other, etc.
