You spend the rest of the afternoon sparring with captain Alexei.

You're a bit impressed: he's a nimble and agile fighter, probably quite used to fighting on the deck of a ship. His fighting style, self-thaught and informal, includes many wide dodges and parries that make full use of the cluttered environment of a ship-to-ship boarding action, combined with his own short stature and slender frame.
He favors dual-wielding with longsword and a parrying dagger, though he's proven adept with a variety of weapons.

"Do you know swordfighting, though, boss?" He asks after a while.

"Of course." You reply, a bit surprised by the question. "...why?"

"Well, I always see you fighting barehanded." He's sparring with wooden weapons against three seamen at once while having this conversation, and he's quite good at staying focused on both at the same time, it seems.

"Well, when I Exalted I didn't have a sword handy, and quickly realized I didn't need one."

"Tia has one, though." Sidestep, dodge, and a lunge to the stomach, deftly knocking aside one of his attackers.

"Matter of choice." You shrug, grabbing a wooden training sword and taking the place of the knocked-out attacker.

"Oh shit-" he frantically raises his guard, just a moment before you slash his wooden blade in two with a well-placed blow.

"If you've got time to worry about my swordsmanship, then you should focus more on your own." You return to the barrel you were sitting on, and order: "let's move on to four against one."

Following your orders, two more seamen join the fray. Alexei groans and grabs a new sword.

At the end of the day, as the sun is setting, he returns to his ship, all beat up and sore.

Millian has already long left to return to the castle. You're left alone on the docks.

After staring out at the setting sun for a few minutes...

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble recently Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. She's in the western city of Tianna as a guest of queen Amata (DB), an old friend. Abyssals are targeting the city for conquest, Lintha pirates have infiltrated it with spies and agents, and half the island is controlled by paranoid Lunars. Fun times.

>Solar? Zenith? I don't know Exalted...
This quest is as newbie-friendly as possible, and I want it to work as a newbie's intro to Exalted. If you have ANY question, ask in thread. For the setting, google "1d4chan exalted".

>Archive?
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=zenith

>System?
Dicepool-like system. When performing an action, everyone rolls 1d10 when posting. the first X rolls are considered, where X is equal to attribute + ability. Yes, this means that the more people are posting, the stronger Maka is, up to a limit of her attribute + ability.

>XP?
Attributes cost [current score x5] xp. Abilities cost [current score x3] xp, except Zenith costing [(current score x3) -1]. Charms cost 10 xp, except for Zenith-based charms (related to charisma and physical/mental fortitude) which cost 8 xp. At the end of every "session" (thread) you will be presented with a list of possible acquisitions.

You don't need to be a genius in order to be in charge/have power.

Historical examples include: Most tin pot dictators, most elected congresspeople/public officials, old timey inbred European monarchs, a lot of corporate executives, etc...

Her being queen means she was in the right place at the right time (see: being squeezed out of mother's vagina).

In addition, that was more communing with the big man. This is praying. There's a difference. One is a spirit quest fueled by peyote, this is a letter/status report.

Likewise. In the last thread I got in an argument about it with those who were against it and they compared UMIs to nuclear weapons.

This turned me off from them, but now that I had the time to think about it I've realized that UMIs being nukes is not a reason not to buy them. It is a strong reason to to buy them! I want to slap myself for being so retarded!

If we had a charm that made our punches as powerful as nukes I would vote to get it right away. The same principle applies.

He's not (entirely) wrong, though - UMI is doing things to a brain that that brain wouldn't necessarily do to itself.

He's being a huge turd about it, though.

UMI is the stick exalts use to scratch themselves when their arms won't reach.

You head back to the castle, just in time for dinner for everyone.
You rejoin witgh Tia, Amata and everyone. Millian has returned as well.

After having a short chat around the table, the discussion veers on the festival. Apparently the preparations are underway, being overseen by Smoke herself.

"I... Also kind of promised a sacrifice to Yaraon, the god of the island's plains." You mention.

Amata rolls her eyes. "...well, we got demesnes out of this, so I guess it's worth it. I'll see to it."

"With all these hearthstones we'll get, we could power a lot of essence weapons." Irene is overjoyed. "I can't wait for these manses!"

"Manse building can take a very long time." Samiel deflates her enthusiasm.

"...I know." She sighs.

"Anyway, festival will be tomorrow night." Amata reminds you. "And you'll have to dance. Have anything ready?"

It would be stupidly situational then and more about the scenario, and not the makeup of the fire, it would make sense for any 'natural' fire to be rendered ineffective because of it, and to not cover and magic'd up fire because its not natural

A stick on fire that hits us in the face is still natural fire, unless you magic'd the fire on the stick
>>
"...yes, I have some ideas. I already have a costume, and I was thinking of adding some oil. Since it'll be at night, with fires in the background I imagine, that should give off some good reflections."

You hear the clanky noise of Tia dropping her fork and knife on the plate.

"Although I was thinking about bodypaint too... I still have to decide on that."

"A solo performance, or you'll be dancing with Smoke, or someone else as well?"

"I was thinking about that too." You mumble.

Amata makes things clear: "Let me be perfectly clear: I can't. Samiel and Irene too. We're the royal family, we can't get involved in this."

You nod. "Yeah, I can understand that."

At charm's protection is vs. Natural hazards as opposed to attacks, not as opposed to magical hazards.
Given the safe, non-combat circumstances and the collaboration of a fire-aspected goddess, it's safe to assume that Maka could set herself on fire and not suffer damage, if that's what you're wondering.

So, we're thinking:

Oil, Tassels, solo dances, dances with Smoke, dances with Tia.

Some dances on fire (probably with Smoke), Tia dances oiled up in a tassel bikini of her own.

Millian and Regis on standby for re-oiling

Dancing and whatnot pretty much the whole festival.

That sounds good, I'm not 100% behind being on fire, even if it won't hurt us, but I'm not vehemently opposed to it either. And the danceing should progress like >>31339948


But wait, won't Tia's Bikini look odd with her Gloves and Thigh highs?

>>31340041
>But wait, won't Tia's Bikini look odd with her Gloves and Thigh highs?

Do the bikini in the same colour as her gloves/boots - white or something.

See if we can get some silver jewellery for her to complete the ensemble?

Shiny silver/white lunar reflecting the fire as a contrast to bright gold/brown Solar during a dance would look brilliant.

Wouldn't us being on fire and not dying freak the hell out of the normal people? And then all we'd need is one Immaculate guy going "ANATHEMA DO NOT BURN BECAUSE THEY ARE DEVILS" and suddenly us being accepted by the country gets a lot harder.

None, thanks. While fun for BDSM, they look absolutely terrible when dancing. Nipple piercings? Maybe. Hell, Exalted setting art is rife with nipple studs and cute panties. Clamps? Absolutely not.

Let's exploit the fact that our skin's tensile strength is through the roof. We can get a massive sunburst navel jewelry, the size of our first, and similarly large/heavy golden earrings especially designed to sway as we dance. We should, at any rate, wear things equally evocative of the sun and volcanoes, since we're a sun priestess dancing to a volcano goddess.

"Tia." You call out to the Lunar, shaking her from her half-trance.

"Bwuh?"

"Can you dance?" You invite her with a wink.

"...I never danced in my life." She points out.

"Perfect. I'll teach you." You stand up and walk up to her, grabbing her hand and pulling her with you.

As you leave, you hear Amata giggling.

"No, Maka, I really..." Tia is letting you drag her through the corridors of the palace, but doesn't seem thrilled at all.

"Come on." You urge her. "You're faster' stronger and more agile than me, you have great coordination, graceful movements, terrifying endurance - I'm sure you'd become an awesome dancer in no time." You stop. "...what's the problem?"

No response. When was the last time you've seen Tia like this? Did you ever?

"...are you shy?" The thought blows your mind. "You've never been shy. Heck, you did stuff with me, in public, that was-"

"Because..." She mumbles. "Because you're so hot that I, I just lose control."

"You could try and channel that into dance. Turning emotion into motion is how it works!" You suggest.

"...I'm a bit afraid. I don't want to ruin your dance. I'd... I could just get in the way."

"Well, how about we practice a bit and we see if you can handle it." You suggest.

"...I can try." She follows you to your bedroom. Along the way, you stumble in Millian, or rather, she intercepts you.

"I've brought your clothes and the usual extra costumes in your room in preparation." She informs you.

"You're the best, Milly." You thank her with a wink as you enter your room. Regis is there, waiting for you.

There's a moment of tension as they cross glances and avert their looks.

"Right. First of all." You clap your hands.

"First of all, if you plan to set yourself on fire, I think your ludicrous tassel bikini will burn too." The maid points out with a grin.

"...how did you know that-"

"You said it yourself. I'm a maid. It's my job." She smugs.

"...actually, this was made with a very special material." You catch her by surprise. "I'm sure it's fireproof."

"...oh." She replies. "...alright then. So, jewelry and piercings." She looks at you. "...I have no idea who to call for piercings."

Regis raises a hand. "Uh... I do."

"Really." You're surprised.

"Well. Pirate island." He points out. "I can probably find some of the tools in a few minutes."

You nod. "Alright, good to know, but, no. I was thinking about those rings that don't need a piercing."

"Oh, are you afraid of pain?" "Nah, it's probably that she could cut diamond with those things. How would you even pierce them?"

You sigh. "Very funny, you two. Tia, get naked."

It's amazing how fast she obeys your order. It does give you a sense of power, to be able to order her around like this. It also boggles your mind a bit: she has no sort of shame to undress like this, and you're sure she wouldn't hesitate to do the same in front of howevermany people.

But she's afraid to et you down in a performance.

Not really. Both Maka and Tia seem strongly-associated with the color white.

>>31341106
The Tell never appears as clothing. It's always something from your totem animal. She probably has a piece of chitin instead of a tramp stamp - or her green hair is her Tell, something like that.

"Match her outfit to mine, actually. I have oil and fire, but she has her tattoos. They should make a nice contrast."

Millian looks at Tia's bare skin. "She doesn't have any tattoos."

As a respo se, Tia reveals the moonsilver texture hidden in her skin, and Millian lets out a gasp."

"...when are you people going to stop surprising me? It's starting to get pretty stressful."

"Sorry, sorry, I should have told you earlier."

Over the next two hours, Millian and Regis (who by now has basicaly become immune to seeing you two naked) help you find the right combination of jewelry and accesories. As you think about the coreography, an idea strikes you.

"...Actually, Millian, Regis, your opinion. Would you think Tia would look better as a man in this?"

"Please tell me she doesn't mean it literally." Millian groans at Regis, who just looks down with a bit of sadness.

That would provide a nice contrast, and it would provide a neat symbolism. A moon man of the northern wilderness, a sun woman of the southern city. Both technically foreigners. Both leading praise of the volcano in the middle of the island.

I'm aware. But it's not like gods' have the reproductive plumbing to go with their genitalia anyway. Besides, Smoke acts more inhuman than human to begin with, so the only context in which her gender maters is how she self identifies. I'm pretty sure it's been established that that's female.

There better be a magma hot tub that we can skinny dip in with DS after the festival to relax.

You're entirely wrong. All that kind of magic shit is basically equally freakout-worthy as far as the common folk are concerned. By the same token, it's all also praiseworthy and marvelous. For every people who send screaming, there will also be people staring in open-mouthed wonder and amazement.

I think the ratio will be a lot better than 1:1, actually.
"Bunch of hot Exalts will be oiled up and having a dance-ceremony for the volcano goddess." means they will probably take most weird shit in stride. Because Exalts.

Oh, definitely. I'm just saying the ratio won't really be any better for 'bitch lit herself on fire' than 'bitch is a dude now.'

"Well, Tia, what do you feel more comfortable with?"

"...me?" it's clear she's still not terribly convinced about this whole thing. "...I mostly stay like this normally out of habit, and because this dress fits me better as a woman. It's not any particular attachment."

The image of male Tia wearing that wedding dress flies through your mind and gets stuck in there. "Change now."

She obliges. You've already seen him like this more than a few times, but standing there looking a bit shy and lost like that? That's almost criminal.

Millian has more or less given up.

"Maybe I should not be like this. I mean... It's a bit harder to control myself. In several ways."

"...I think you should stay like this." the maid intervenes. "People will like it."

You decide to move in. "...Tia. You should do what you want. How you want it. You should be yourself. You're not shy - you have even less restraint than me."

"It's just that... I don't want to ruin your performance."

"Tia... I don't care how well or badly you will perform. I just want you to have fun. I'll handle Smoke. Besides, I'm sure you'll be amazing."

By now, Millian and Regis have finished helping you dress, or rather wear all your jewelry. Grabbing Tia's hand, you pull her to you and help her through her first steps.

What dance should you prepare for the festival?

First of all, you need to find an alternative to a tassel bikini, since it doesn't really work well with Tia's manly body in several ways. Besieds, covering up any part of his deliciously toned upper body is a crime against nature.

Additionally, her lower body needs to be contained, also for various reasons: comfort (his and yours), decency, and giving him a bit of a psychological barrier to prevent things from escalating way too quickly.

After a few trials, you decide to ask Millian to get you a tiger pelt to drape around his waist, to enhance his "savage" appeal while keeping his manliness at least partially contained.

But really, this is the first time you try dancing with a companion after your exaltation, with an Exalted. It takes you a bit to realize, after trial and error, that this changes everything.

Physical movements in dancing are limited by flexibility and range of motion, by strength in some cases, sheer endurance in others.

These limits have completely changed: Tia can casually throw you ten meters in the sky with one arm and catch you as you fall, with unerring accuracy, without hurting you and as a smooth part of another movement, just to mention a single example.
And without mentioning Tia's shapeshifting.

This forces you to redefine completely everything.

It's as much a learning experience for you as it is for Tia. You spend the rest of the evening practising moves and steps and forms, experimenting with your new limits and how far you can push your bodies. You compose a sensual, suggestive interpretation focused on the sun-moon symbolism: this will be a prayer to them, too.

Regis and Millian have long gone to bed when you take your first break. It's probably past midnight.

"...see? What did I tell you?" You pant after your last round of dance, short on breath, held in Tia's arms. "You can dance."

"...you're sure?" He does seem a bit more confident than when you started.

"Absolutely. You learned the moves, but... You're still a bit stiff. You don't still have dance in your blood."

He takes your remark very seriously. "...what should I do?"

"Well, you learned the steps and moves for tomorrow. Now... Just dance. Have fun. Dance for your own enjoyment, without rules." You grab his shoulders and sommersault over him, landing just behind him and encircling his lower waist with your arms.

Silently, he turns around, holding your hands, and taking a few tentative steps. You follow him, deciding that you are not going to guide him, corrdct her, or anything like at. You will follow his leadership.

You dance the night away.

As day breaks, utterly exhausted, you let yourself be carried in bed by Tia. You never danced this much, and you slowly realize that you've been awake for most of the last two days. Tiredness catches up to you.

As Tia tucks you in bed, you joke: "aren't you going to ravage me tonight? Since you still have energy to go."

"...you want to rest, right?" He whispers, with a goodnight kiss to your cheek.

"You don't." You note. That much is apparent by just a glance to his tiger pelt skirt. "You have some impressive willpower."

"You were trying to break me?" He asks.

"A bit." You admit.

In bed together, Tia, whose monstrous endurance causes him to be not as tremendously tired as you, apparently feels like taking as he gently cuddles you to sleep.

He can be really sweet and delicate when he wants to.

"...hey, Maka?" She whispers. "Remember yesterday night?"

"...not all of it." You reply. "It turned into a crowd bit by bit."

"It did." He nods, caressing you with gentle touches.

"It was weird." You mumble, half-asleep by now. "I mean. They're mother and child. In bed together like that..."

"You didn't even realize." He smiles.

"Realize what?"

"They weren't in that bed for each other, Maka. They were there for you."

The thought never crossed you.

"You're still not used to it. Did you look at yourself in a mirror? Anyone would want to be in bed with you." He kisses you. "Being the one who can spend evey night with you makes me the happiest man in Creation."

After a short pause, he then says: "...and knowing that my wife is so powerful, so beautiful, so strong that so many people will want to share her bed... Makes me feel so proud. ...what about you? Do you like it?"

She asked if we enjoyed having so many people wanting to share our bed, not if we would be willing to share our bed with people.

So "only those I care about" means "yes, I like that those I care about like me, but I don't care about those I don't like."
It doesn't mean we can't share their bed too, but we just don't like it (as much).

That's because she is. She used to be crazy and obsessive because she had her five-dot Lunar bond pulling her violently and inexorably toward us for her entire Exalted life.

Now that she's here and we've got a relatively happy life together she's fine. She has her waifu, all is right with the world.

'How large?" He asks, intrigued. "Like the one Silk made?"

"Larger. Large enough for everyone."

"Everyone who?" Your Lunar asks.

"Everyone." Is your last word before peacefully drifting into sleep. Cradled in his strong arms, holding on to him like a pillow, it makes you feel safe. Like, with him - or her - at your side, you could take over the world.

I feel dissatisfied by this. It does not really matter which side I am on, but if things are like this the both the pro and the con UMI side are suppressed. How do you exactly expect us to resolve this? We are not going to get along.

Either take the UMIs out of the game or let us have them. Even flipping a coin is better than this.
