“That's a reasonable guess, and so I answer yes. When our soul was rending, a spirit of forest helped the mending.” You say with a curt, short bow before taking a knee, “So, I am bending now for greater good. I seek to nurture, foster, and protect the wood.”

“So you pledge yourself to the Seelie in this cause? Truly, even with an Unseelie in company, this does beg applause.”
The gallery of fae, give a chorus of clap and cheers. Donneth answers some with his glares and his sneers.

“I come too with my own ambition, I declare it by my own will, so listen! I am Donneth of Winter, hunter of men! I am an unseelie with no legends yet. Yet mark by my word, and know it is so, I am not friend, yet neither a foe. My chill is for death of human alone. The wood and its bounty are together my home.
I have no quarrel with the warmth of this Court. So I stand unblessed, as I am still of their sort.”

You stare down at Donneth, as he returns a tired gaze. His pact with you not more than a phase, he seeks more, and you smile, amazed.

Titania claps once before she doth speak, the last bit of fae chatter ends with a squeak, “Well then Ser Asher, and Donneth as well. Perhaps we may have more time, I'd hear more of your travails. Asher the Burnt, and Donneth the Cold, a new tall tale.” The Fae queen smiles and sits upon a toadstool to listen.
Melisandre the nymph, fidgets yet listens and the quartet of Fae, fall by your side, with the entire fae court, listening aside.

You look to Donneth, and he looks to you, “Well, my patron. After you.”

Rain falls through brisk autumn air, October 27th, falling in sheets upon cars bleating in traffic, the dull procession of a city's mid-morning commute. A chromatic haze of the low hanging fog obscures the Seer's tower. The fog rolls in from Navy pier, a wave of white mist creeping in from the great lake.

You see this all from the top of one of the many skyscrapers, the harsh chill of the upper air makes the leaves upon your cheek curl ever so slightly with disgust and apprehension.
It's been a few days since you spoke with Titania and returned from the wood.

Cora may have confronted you for having left so abruptly after your reunion, had she not made way herself first. She figured out what she needed to and your suit was in your room, waiting for you. She used the shifting feature of the “Dress Up” suit to incoroporate the others. Basically, you're either wearing normal clothes or switching between the other general modes. Heat Control, Bulletproof, agility, or some other pre-designed articles.
It's a marvel to be sure, yet it pales in comparison to what you have planned. You avoided Echo, but you did hear from Emilia that she refused to take one of Cora's suits. Marcus declined as well. The two of them apparently feel better off with their own abilities. Whatever.

With a shift into the agility form, black plastics creep up to your chin and mouth, spreading over your knuckles, fingers, feet, and toes. Once ready, your body relaxes and leaps forward a hundred meters through the fog-clad air. A lens over your eye via your ZG mask defends you against the splatter of water droplets. As you target the next building on your little “walk,” you cast yourself out. Image focused, summoned and- A conflagration blinds you, and a moment later, you're standing atop the next building, surveying the place.

>>35695078


Closing your eye, you open your perception to the ether. Looking beyond the people, beyond the city, you search the land for a place of power. A special spot. Titania said that for a portal to be made, a lot of power must be gathered. And with Halloween less than a week away, you need to find an ideal location. With a Great lake and such loamy, rich soil lurking just below this concrete jungle, it's the perfect place to make Chi-Town, Fae-Town.

The pulse here is weak as well. It's just not... loved enough?

Millenium park might've been a nice place if they hadn't closed it off after the fashion disaster. Reports on the news obscure the details, labelled it as a terrorist attack with the individuals that carried it out either dead or apprehended. Saph mentioned that there weren't really any survivors. Part of you wonders what Camille thought of that.

(She was glad to see you again, for what it was worth.)

“That so, Legna?” Your Valkyrie appears at your side, obscure high on up here by the thick mist. Her ephemeral blue eyes are piercing, her helm keeping her hair out of the way, and her armor strong, rigid and... appallingly metal.

(As you commanded, I spoke with her for some time. She is still in this city.) Legna had left your defense by your command. The joint of your shoulder aches at the thought as the parasitic Ash still slowly eats away at what's left of your arm.

“You think me a bad commander?”

“More a novice warrior. Your meeting with the tricksters went well, I take it?”

Potentially re-recruit her, but more likely we'd learn some stuff about Overwatch.

Improve rapport with Legna? I'm not really sure if this is a distinct option path all of its own or if it's just banter. I guess it could potentially branch into learning how to magic sword here, but the option is really iffy.

Fae plan continues, probably kinda slow going and suboptimal but it's going to be Asher that gets all the glory if it works.

“Yes, and I have something that I need to find. Scout out an appropiate Ley Line for me. I have a ritual to perform and I'm going to need a powerful sight.” You stare out across the city-scape, what would be a gray slate of fog is painted by the aurora of the sky, sending out a surplus of colors. Strangely enough, it's not present when you look on with an electronic camera, news confirms that much at least. Still, whenever you think about the sky it just gets more mysterious.
A look at it with astral vision just reveals the same colors you see in the real.

“I will do so then, is the beast-”

“Donneth is already looking. Though he may be gratifying himself with some of the less savory.”

“By your leave?” She questions.

“Yes, by my leave.”

She turns abruptly, “I will go then.”

“One more thing.” She stops as you peer down at sheet of fog, “You said that Camille was still here?”

“Indeed.”

“Where?”

“She is at Millenium Park, making use of her abilities.”

“To do what?” You turn.

“I do not know.”

Business time for now. Camille might even be able to help us with the portal once we know what is needed...

>>35695620
>[] “I'll visit her when night falls.” (Visit Dorothy.)
I want to see Camille, but it seems like a bad idea to go hang around Overwatch while our summons are out on patrol.
I trust that Camille won't attack us, she seems to be mainly focused on warding anyway, but I don't want to risk getting blindsided by one of the other Overwatch people while we don't have Legna or Donneth around.

Also, Legna's pretty cool. I hope that we don't end up getting totally allergic to heavy metal Legna. Steel tankbrosis seems like the best.

You know, really, this fae thing isn't really that much of a change from Asher's initial motivation. He started out thinking that what the gubmint did was bad and that more magic should be brought into the world and people have the right to know about it.

Follower flavour was teaching people through torturing the shit out of them.
Luci flavour was getting people to follow him and teaching them through less torturey methods with a side of summoning the Fallen.
Looks like this new plant flavour is summon up fucktons of fae and hippy stuff.

All the same core thing, really.

Creating Chicago Fire 2 : Fae Boogaloo isn't exactly hippy stuff

>>35695774
So what you're saying is that most of the changes Asher has gone through have been superficial? I mean, he is a half-blind angry tree-man, but.

>>35695795
Hippies love blazing it. I'm pretty sure they have a thing for bonfires too.

>>35695620
>[] “I'll visit her when night falls.” (Visit Dorothy.)

>>35695620
Did we ever contract the elemental sister fae?

I want to teach them how to combo with eachother to pull off the elemental transmutations that we know. Like the fire+water+air ones could do lightning. And the fire+earth ones could do lava. It'd be pretty sweet.

>>35695135
That's pretty much what I always imagine Asher looking like in the astral. Indistinct grey astral haze obscuring his face while glowy aurora strings trail from him, some leading up into the astral and some just trailing on the ground and some attached to his summons.

>>35695821
*coughcough*burningman*coughcough*

>>35695774
I hope Dran goes with this and focuses Asher's actions through the lens of what he's already done and believed.
He, and a lot of the players, seem to have this notion that Asher's a totally blank slate when it comes to goals and that the only way he can have a grand objective is if some dickass astral being ramrods his soul.

40(roughly) cubic centimeters of lead is a 9 megaton tnt explosion worth of energy. Any lead isn't even the densest metal.

Especialy since controling that shit will be incredibly difficult

>>35695984
>get immortality
>nuke everything and get flung around by the explosions giggling like a child

>>35695984
Honestly, I think that Summoning might be a better choice to rush. There are plenty of Overs that can survive getting nuked whether it's through sheer fucktarded levels durability or through being intangible or something.

There's also the fact that dropping a nuke on an area means that there's going to be a LOT of damage to things that aren't the dude we want dead. Just flinging around nukes seems like an awesome way to have ZG turn against us and get thrown to the top of the Templar shit-list.

Don't get me wrong, I want matter->energy transmutations. I want it bad. I want it reeeaaaal bad.
But it's not something that we want to make our main mode of combat.
Also, I'm really curious about just how strong we can get our summons to be.
And every rank of Summoning makes Blink cheaper and Blink is the only thing that's keeping us alive half the time.

>>35696017
It's not just blowing shit up m8, it's about the possiblities, just that pound of lead wouldn't cost much, but what we could do with pure energy(we wouldn't use the whole pound, that's a ticket to death) is amazing. Pure energy, pure unadulterated energy.

Dran, in terms of achieving our goals of becoming transhuman verdant lord, how do Alchemy/Summoning/Floramancy all fit in? I don't really understand what further ranks add for body modification and army building.

>>35695093
>Her ephemeral blue eyes are piercing, her helm keeping her hair out of the way, and her armor strong, rigid and... appallingly metal.
Woah. Legna's barely 40% on her steel aspect and Asher's barely even faeish at all and it's still enough to bug him?

>>35696082
Yeah, I would be fine with boosting summoning, we are gonna be doing a lot of summoning

>>35695620


Turning on your heels, the crunching gravel of the rooftop, you head for the ceiling access door, “Then get started looking. Return by nightfall, we're going to see her.”

“Very well.” With that, Legna melts back into the astral,

“And thank you Legna.” You add on.

She seems to pause, you feel her awareness upon you for a moment before zipping away through the other side.

Three knocks for the rule of three. Three moment's patience and then a whisper, “Blessed be.”

The door opens and you walk through into Dorothy's shop, yet she's not at the counter. Solace sits there instead, yawning with glistening white fangs exposed. “Dorothy's stepped out for lunch.” The feline's etheric voice whispers from the other side. “What do you want today, oh valued customer?”

(Oh- My- Gawd. Is that a talking cat?!) Your... Significant other chimes in through, half corporalizing with a manic grin, “It's the first time I've seen a cat not chasing a rat. Oh, what to make of that?”

“Dear Customer, mind that your guests obey your contract while in our shop.” Solace's lips flick up into a bit of a snarl, “And I do not chase rats. Bad run in with the ones in New York. You'd think that a bigger rat is amazing, then you find out it's a few hundred rats half your size. Then they chase you through the sewers until you smell like the ass end of every filthy human in New York. No. I do not chase rats.”

“Be still my quivering heart, for separation cannot tear us apart.” You glare begrudgingly at Meli, “I believe that I told you that I'd visit you, yes?”

>>35696130
Why would her armor bother him as a fae? I seriously doubt her armor is cold iron.

>>35696133
Summoning is boring. We can do cool shit ourselves with alchemy instead of telling spirits to do it for us

>>35696156
Steel aspect bothers fae. Dran's already confirmed this.

“But Honeyscrumptions, it's been too long! You know it's long for me in Tir Na Nog!” The Nymph hangs upon your shoulder as you look away. Part of Titania's alliance called to be married to a fae. Apparently this one took dibs and you couldn't argue out of it. Emilia was added to the marriage contract at least, but now this crazy pops up every now and then...

“Why does Dorothy even allow fae through the ward?” Solace bemoans as he licks his paw, grooming his face. “Look, if you're going to buy something-”

“Oh, you're shopping?! Can you get something for me? Or are you gettinggifts for the sister faeries? Oh, oh, or maybe my Sister Willia?” She gives you a little nudge in the ribs, “I heard she's got a little thing for ya~”

“Sorry Solace,” You sigh as Meli lays her head against your shoulder.

“Honestly? Seen worse.” The cat's ears flick, and he lays down, “Well?”

You shrug a bit and look down at Meli, she smiles back up at you, moving her bangs out of the way. Rolling your eye, you set your mind to business, “When will Dorothy be back? I had questions about a ritual for Samhain.”

“You and many others.” The cat utters a small laugh, “She'll be back later on, I'm uncertain just how long she'll be. More than a few clients and pickups of extra merchandise for the occasion... She also has a bit of business with family.”

“Family?” You raise a brow. You can't imagine Dorothy as anything but-”

“She'll be carving pumpkins with her niece and nephew after the business round... So.. it'll be a bit. I could answer questions though, I've been with Dorothy for a long time.”

“How long exactly?”

“Let's just say that I could be your grandfather.”

“Is that in cat years?”

Solace gives you a flat, “No.”

Gives rise to a lot of other questions, but you stick to the more important ones as you pick your way through the shop. You try to keep it vague, concerning gates and how much it takes to create a stable one.

“Depends on what it's for. Technically our shop only opens temporary gates to this place. And it only opens for people invited by someone else.”

“So a persistent portal that's always open...?”

“Would require massive influxes of mana and frequent maintenance against anomalies. Dorothy and I often watch for them as here, though she tends to leave it all to me. It's like a mental exercise,”

>>35697163


“And with temporary doors?”

“I can maintain it alone, no problem. If we were expecting more traffic, we might set up dried mistletoe as a sacrificial reagant.”

You traverse a section of more neutrally aligned ornaments, turning over some of the sturdier looking items with your fingers. Ginger roots, various pendulums dangling from a crystalline display, assorted gems of various cut and luster, amethyst-filled geodes, even an outright meteorite...

“So a permanent portal is taxing, how could one occur naturally without intervention?”

“Either a special place, or one that only opens for a limited time.”

“What about both?”

“That's also a possibility...” Solace jumps down from the desk, bounding over to the section you're in, “Nice arm...”

“Thank you.”

“What kindo of gate are you looking to make anyway? Dorothy might be interested... For a price.”

I think Dorothy will be neutral at worst. I can't see her trying to screw over a customer, unless they were going to summon Cthulhu or something...

>>35697179
>[] Tell him.
They're neutral parties, they wouldn't fuck us over by blabbing to the Templars... I think. I guess I have faith.

Ask him if we're alone, or at least cast a furtive glance around. Don't want to find out there was a Templar behind a shelf or some shit when we outlined our plan.

Can we just talk to Solace like a normal fucking person while we're still able to and not give him reason to think that Asher's even more unstable than he is? We want him to actually help us.

>>35697271
Mars is easier to terraform and we're less likely to piss off every mythos ever.

>>35697302
Those were pretty obvious jokes

>>35697305
Moon's actually easier when you're doing it with this magic system because it's smaller.

>>35697302
1. We want Dorothy's help
2. He isnt in charge of the deals and suddenly referring oneself as we while rhyming isn't exactly amazing in oververse
3. I just want solace to laugh

>>35697376
>if we fuck with the moon EVERYONE WILL BE TRYING TO KILL US
Why do you think that?

>>35697389
The moon has massive religious and cultural significance.

>>35697442
Which is part of what makes it one of the best places to put a fae portal.

Also, we don't have to go around screaming about how we're going to take over the moon before we do it and we don't have to go about it in the most obvious ways ever. Optimally, nobody will know what we're doing up there until we've gotten so deeply rooted in place that we're impossible to remove

“To be honest.” You set down a little figurine you were looking at, a dragon coiled around and clutching a blue orb. “I want to open a portal to the summerlands of fae, Tir na Nog.”

“Oh?” Solace hops up onto the display counter, carefully stepping around some items, while pawing others back into place. “That's quite the inspired undertaking. From working for the Fallen, to the Seelie Fae... Is this then your wife?”

Meli, puts her arms around you, her hands tickling your chlorophyll cheek, sending tingles of life through your wooden part, “That I am. Is he not the most curious and interesting sort of man? Over and over, he knows not where he stands. Yet here he is conspiring plans. And this time so that we may meet. In the flesh to flesh...” She slides her cheek against yours, “Cheek to cheek.” And punctuating it with a quick peck.

Solace can't help but to stop organizing the trinkets to chuckle, “Really then? You went off and got hitched? Well congratulations. We'll have to think up some sort of wedding gift. I'll tell Dorothy when she gets back.”

You slide your human hand along the bridge of your nose to your forehead, “Really, that's not necessary. Just relay that I'd like some help. With it, okay?”

“Right. Well, anything you're looking to buy? Truth be told, I hate window shoppers that touch everything.” Solace stares you down, “So hard to get everything back into its proper place without opposable thumbs.”

Get Cora to make us a suit that can survive in space and then Blink there. We can use Geo+Alchemy to rapidly form an underground base to work in. After that it's a matter of setting up some doors that link to it like how Dorothy has.

>>35697557

Meh, let's save the gifts for when they do something to earn it. I think we'll probably have ideas for things we need once we start making our plant monsters.

>>35697719
I dunno if a sword would be best. Asher's already getting fae-y enough that metal's bugging him somewhat. If we get a sword, it'd have to be something weird.

One eyed, and with a sing twisted horn sprouting from the other side,

Is the horn coming out of the eye or a more normal head place? Is it twisting like a helix or is it coiling like a goat horn?
Is the rest of the mask blank?

>>35697838
Like a helix from the forehead of the blank space of the missing eye. Not much more detail than that.

Gertrude's Mask has multiple eyes and stops right above her mouth so that she can still bite.

I'll go into detail about the others later.

“Sorry, I'll be going.” You begin to turn away, but you happen to stare at Solace for a bit too long as the feline carries on with fixing and facing merchandise. You start to put your hand out while he's busy and your inches away from his fur when he turns, glaring at you with his golden eyes narrowing in the light.

“Don't.”

You bit your lip behind your mask, stopping. Just want to pet the cat. Just want to pet the goddamned cat.
Before you begin to withdraw, Meli puts her hand on yours and pushes down. “Do.” She says quite pleased with herself and your hand slides down Solace's glossy fur, her back arching, and instinctively pushing into your hand.

“Ah, eh, no! Stop it!” he cries out, while letting out a purr.

All the while, Meli just raises your hand back up and sends it down his back again, a deep concentration in her eyes. Solace submits, flopping over onto his back, showing off a white spot amongst his black. As you tickle his tummy, he purrs and wriggles, sending some of the trinkets careening onto the floor.

“Ah, no. Stop it! This isn't professional! I have a job!”

Meli giggles like mad, kissing your cheek again, “My husband Asher wants to pet a cat, so he gets to pet a cat! Simple, right?”

You can't help but to grin out of your usual funk, always been a cat-person anyway.

A sudden scratch snaps you out of it, and Solace jumps down to the floor, bounding away in a hurry, tail alert and raised. “Get out.”

>>35698360
Yes, I need this.

>>35698362


“Hey, sorry.”

“Out! And we're not talking about this again!”

You feel an invisible force fling you up and send you flying out of the shop, tumbling back onto the cold roof of one of Chicago's many high-rises. With a reflexive twitch, you manage to right yourself just as the door slams shut. “Sheesh, Hope he's not too mad...”

“Really cute cat when he's not all grumpy, wumpy...” Meli holds onto you, looking you in the eyes with a flirtatious smile. “You're not... mad yourself, are you?” Her eyes flick away, “I just wanted to make you smile, love.”

Albeit a little conflicted, you did get to see an exceptionally queer side to Solace. Touching her face, her hand meets yours, leaning into your palm with a smile, “I'm happy.” Bringing your hand around her head, you pull her in for a kiss to her forehead.
As you pull back, she smiles cheerily, “I'm so lucky to have a human husband...” Her face flushes with several hues, “To think that I thought of drowning you as per my usual business. I can't wait till this portal of yours is done. Then we may walk together, swim together, and meet my Sister-wife, Emily.”

“Emilia,” You correct.”

“Right!” She pulls away, “I'll be leaving you alone for a bit. Ta for now my husband!” With that said, she slips back through the ether, her phantom presence leaving your side.

In truth, you feel a little less than your usual self when she leaves. But you'll get over that.

A check on the sun, and it's still blaring its way slowly onward to the afternoon.

“Legna, Donneth. Have you found anything?”

The Valkyrie speaks first, (The line is far to the southwest, beyond the boundary of this city.)

“You went that far?”
(Nay, it is what I feel. And this place is devoid of that.)

“And Donneth?”

(Blood paints the dark halls of rustic homes. The hunter finds unsavories minding themselves, alone.) The foul Unseelie finishes with a haunting laugh.

“You had one job Donneth. One job.”

(Aye, indeed. I suggest the blue pier. Where children laugh and a hallow's ball is near.)

“How the hell did you find that out?”

>>35698779

(The whispers are clear if you open your ears.) Donneth chuckles again.

(You told me to search for a Ley Line. The Beast did not find a Ley Line.) Legna retorts.

(The Hunter, you incredible bitch. And I find answers as I scratch mine own itch.)

(I'll gut you, for that insult monster- Faust, consider that your Seelie may not enjoy the sacrifice of revelers. Remember that IT works for the Unblessed.)

How assblasted would the ancient Egyptian astral whatevers get if we fed some mummies to plants?

>>35699212
Would Faust get a kick out of it if we visited him with the plan?
>So remember the arm thing, thanks for that by the way, well I was wondering what would happen if I did something similar to a T-rex fossil. I'm thinking plant dragon.

>>35699354
Oak.

>people seriously considering the dino tree
We could barely make an arm. We're going to need to upgrade Flora if we want to pull this off without killing ourself.

>>35699374
We can't do that because that would be desecration of the dead.

>>35699465
I concur. Unless there's some kind of rare uberstrong wood I'm not aware of.

Time for a field trip.

>>35699497
We gained two levels of tree magic and finished a level of alchemy after we made the arm. Besides, we won't be in the middle of dying this time.

No we didn't. We got those levels before we made the arm.

Australian Buloke is the hardest wood in the world.

>>35699586
That lacks magical properties.

>>35699630
Then how about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae

It's only a little bit softer than the buloke and it's got magic out the ass. It's the stuff Merlin made his wand out of. Tough as hell; it's been used to make parts for nuclear submarines. Also the name literally means wood of life.

With Legna's counsel, you take her mention of a ley line underneath the field museum to heart. With a blink down to a secluded area, you shift your uniform into a jacket and gloves along with a gaitor to cover up your pronounced leafy foliage. Like that, you make way for the loop and get off close to the museum.
Outside, there are bronzed statues of fossils standing watch. Great Brachios and diplodocus, and even Allosaurus in eternal glory, banners flown on great pedestals that read “Field Museum” in great vertical letters.

At the ticket booth, you see a number of options associated with this most immediate visit...

And yes, I'm looking at their page right now.

>Hard =/= better
You best remember that man it's part of the reason I suggested oak.

If you guys are curious. Great place to hit if you're ever in Chi-town.

Yes actually, it's been done by someone in this very quest already.

I just found out that Sue's exhibit doesn't actually have her real skull on it. It's a replica because the real thing weighs 600lbs and can't be supported. This means we're going to have to move either a 600lb skull or the rest of the fossil if we do go through with this eventually.

>>35699896
Emilia could do it.

You do realize that means we can cast spells on people without having to touch them.

>>35699931
So long as you get enough physical reagents to imitate touching them. Most often personal articles, affects, or actual parts of their body to work.

The effect still generates a lot of burn, and is best done with other casters, but it can be done.

>>35699976
>itbegins
Great. Now this means that we're going to constantly be paranoid about leaving anything anywhere and constantly burning everything.

>>35699734
>[] Just get a regular pass.
Aren't we here to fae stuff? I guess these other options are for later on, but still I don't really see why now.

>>35699734


You shell out for the all access pass. More is better, right? Besides, the Underground adventure should bring you closer to the ley line point.

“This pass is good until November 2nd.” You hear from the clerk as they pass it to you, “Museum closes in about two hours, The Biomechanics set is closed for some maintenance, and the last 3D movie's played for today.”

Just leaves Underground adventure and the Haiti exhibit among the special charges.

As you pass through the doors, the hairs at the back of your neck tingle. A look in the astral and you see that this place is flooded with power not unlike Gertrude's own shop. It's actually kind of crazy that all this is just sitting here for normies to touch, to look at.

Oh well, best get to work.

Out of curiousity, you head straight forward to get a good look at the Tyrannosaurus skeleton dominating the far end of the main hall. It towers up to the bridges crossing the upper floors, peering at passersby with empty eyes. In the astral, the skull and several other bones are hollow, devoid of any old energy. And yet, the true ones are ripe with the ancient power of the primal earth.
As you gaze upon it, you whisper one word into your gaitor... “Gaia.”

Reading the plaque, you get the gist of it. This is Suezanne, largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus ever found. Her skull is kept elsewhere due to its weight being too much for the integrity of the supports.
So the head is elsewhere. That'd be interesting to look at... Something mighty might even be able to be done.

From there, you find yourself pondering at where to go next.
