"...And that's how Solars are made." You triumphantly end your little explanation.
Sanaya and Ivana stare art you from the sofa on the other side of the room, looking rather unimpressed.
"That conflicts with the Immaculate teachings." Sanaya points out sweeping away your entire piece with a wave of her hand.
"...Well, I AM a Solar, so, you know, shouldn't I count as a trusted source?" You joke. It's clear that, even if they're no longer openly hostilie to you, that doesn't mean they trust you at all.
"Don't get cocky, Anathema." She stabs at you.
"C-can we please quit the A-word already?" You groan. "I have a name, you know. Call me Maka already."
The fire-aspect sighs, sinking deeper into the sofa. "What are we even DOING? Are we really sitting here calmly listen to an Anathema? what is GOING ON?" She asks to her associate.
Nellens Ivana, in response, just shakes her head.
They both stare at you, now. Some awkward silence passes. You've finished explaining, and they're obviously taking it in, but the next step in the conversation, addressing what happens now that the Realm is obviously going to lose their foothold in the Neck to you in one way or another, is one that neither of them wants to take.
As for yourself, you feel in control. You've been friendly, understanding, persuasive, and you think you've nearly won them over by doing so.
These two Immaculates don't seem like bad people, and don't seem particularly loyal to the Order either. Well, if they were exemplary Monks they wouldn't be here in the Neck, after all.
Now, how should you deliver the last kick to their door?

Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a vast amount of allies and friends, and defeated every threat to Tianna up to now.
You recently discovered that Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress. Your forces have crushed the Bodhisattva Anointed by Dark Water, a Deathlord who tried to usurp its power for himself.
And now, on the day of your wedding, the Unconquered Sun Himself appeared to you and crowned you Princess of Creation, asking you to be an example for others in these dark 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?

>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.
>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.

"So." You make yourself more comfortable. "How did the two of you end up here in the Neck?"
Sanaya glares at you, but before she can say anything, you continue:
"I understand that it's probably a touchy subject, so if I'm making you uncomfortable, just say so. It's just that... well, you said that you intend to stay in the Neck, so I thought I should at least learn a bit more about you."
She sits there, tense, looking like she's about to spring up from the sofa at any second now, but she doesn't move. Instead, Ivana speaks up in her place:
"The Order... has rules against relationships within its ranks. They're seen as distracting from more spiritual pursuit."
"...Ah, yes, I heard." You nod. "So..."
"So we were sent here as punishment and to keep us from being "a bad influence to others" back at home, yes." In a sudden surge of emotion, Sanaya cuts you off, slamming her fist on the couch's arm rest with a soft yet loud thud. For a moment, you wonder if she's about to set fire to the room...
...but you then realize she's perfectly in control, just... angry.
Ivana gives you a look full of disapproval, evidently blaming you for briefly upsetting Sanaya. Talk about overprotective.
"...I'm sorry for what you had to go through." You attempt to defuse the situation. "Love should never be forbidden."
"What do you know, you whore queen." Sanaya growls at you.
"That was uncalled for." You reply, keeping a calm smile on you. "I just believe in the freedom of love."
...You're about to continue your sentence with a "Let me show you", when your eyes suddenly meet Ivana's again. She's still staring at you. Defensively. Angrily. An arm around Sanaya's shoulders in a protective gesture, trying to shield her from you.

At least the realm didn't force them apart.
This is tricky. Feels like helping their relationship will indebt them to us somehow. But maybe it doesn't need helping. Maybe just throw them a life-line. If they ever need help they can come to us. Their relationship with The Realm is already rocky, it might crumble on its own in time.

I mean it obviously isn't happening now, but it NEEDS to happen, we need to to be 100% sure they're more loyal to use than the Order.

You remember wrong.
>>46221052
>Maka failing a social roll with be a novelty if nothing else.
We can write it off as their love being too pure to corrupt, for now.
>>46221013
It's four successes if we use Heart Compelling Method since most sex rolls are based on Performance, but it;s kinda hazy here.
>>46221083
We're not trying to do any such thing, if anything them being loyal to us rather than the order would be good for their love as we wouldn't condemn it.
Clearly some vile force is at work here, acting against our attempts to spread love and justice.
You smile and avert your eyes, leaving the two dragon-blooded to their moment together.
Ivana is too guarded against a direct attack, it seems. Her stare isn't as angry as it was one second before, but the message is still clear, and is still the same as the very first thing she said to you when you first met her: "don't touch my girlfriend".
You quickly bring the conversation on another track in order to not lose momentum. "So, how does the Satrap of the Neck fit in all this?"
It's a subject they'll have a bit to talk about, and in which you won't have anything to argue or disagree on.
"Sesus Chido? He's just a chump. And I'm not even saying this because he's a mortal. He's just... he's like Fokuf light." Sanaya brushes him off.
"Fokuf light?" You think that must be some sort of Realm figure of speech that you don't quite get.
"He's someone who is incompetent enough to not threaten anyone, just barely competent enough to be trusted to not gouge his eyes out with a brush, and has the ability to keep a chair technically occupied without causing a power vacuum." The fire-aspect explains. "I'm sure you noticed, by now, that the Realm doesn't hold the Neck in particularly high esteem."
You let the conversation go on, saying a few lines to keep it lively, but they get some stuff off their chests without saying anything particularly new or shocking, leaving you time to think.
How should you proceed from here?

We don't need to actually DO anything to seduce people; we just need Be there once they know the option's on the table. The longer we use the hands-off approach, the more they'll want our hands on.

The problem is it's pretty goddamn stifling when we simply solve near every noncombat problem almost on reflex this way. At this rate Maka's going to lose a lot of depth as a character if this keeps up.
>>46221391
It's still an unfortunate consequence. We should spread love, not monopolize it.
>>46221397
I'm sure as hell not enjoying the idea of wedging ourselves into what is a pretty damn committed relationship for the sake of, what, a couple of Errant monks who aren't ultimately a significant threat beyond an annoyance for the next handful of days?
>>46221411
We still had to get them to the point where this was an option, and that'll only get harder as we come across more powerful Exalts.
Sex is the finishing blow, not the entirety of the process.
>>46221411
Except we don't, we've had lots of problems we solves through just talking or bargaining and some problems that wouldn't even let us try sexing them, we can't always use sex, but we should when we can.
>>46221391

We're not tearing these two apart, it's obvious they love each other and that won't change just like how all the sex we had with Sammy and Flame didn't separate the two of them.

Yes, but we have consistently been a bit flexible with that doctrine in regards to sex.
It's hypocrisy, but it's consistent hypocrisy.
>>46221414
How are we monopolizing love? People are going to fall in love with Maka regardless of what she does, simply from existing.
>>46221447
There is a difference between actively killing or manipulating deaths out of malice or callousness and a mortal deciding to end himself due his own inferiority.
If Maka knew he was going to suicide, she would have stopped him and talked (or fucked) him out of it, would have helped him recover his joy. She didn't want anyone to die, but there was nothing she could do.
>>46221466
I didn't say "tear apart", thank you very much.
Nor is Sammy and flame even a remotely comparable example; given how this one is heavily preestablished and solid, whereas SxF required a whole lot of Maka intervention to bring about in the first place.

Dignity: the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. A composed or serious manner or style. Bearing, conduct, or speech indicative of self-respect or appreciation of the formality or gravity of an occasion or situation.
I can keep looking up definitions on Google for you if you like, but really you could have done that yourself. Dignity, as it applies to us, is found in NOT using our most mighty power at an inappropriate time, and respecting the independence of these two lovers. Ingratiating Maka into their sex life is an asshole, piggish move in my opinion, and it continues the trend of shallowing down her depth as a character.
>>46221510
>One of these things is not like the other.
You know what I meant, I just phrased it poorly.
>>46221509
Take a look at what you just wrote and have a good hard think about yourself.
Because that comes across as pretty goddamn slippery First Age slope, right there.
As the perfectly normal conversation goes on, you allow yourself to relax a bit on the comfortable stuffed couch you're sitting in.
Directly in front of the other sofa, on the opposite side of the small table, where Ivana and Sanaya are.
You stretch and let the first button of your already-tight corset come undone. You lean sideways. You smile. And you wait.
[HUSBAND-SEDUCING DEMON DANCE]
[ROSE-LIPPED SEDUCTION STYLE]
[S+Z=3 8 7 6 1 9 8 3 1 7 9 9 = 7 successes]
After a few minutes of back and forth, the conversation dies down, bit by bit, their eyes lured to you.
In the silence, after a few seconds that feel as long as minutes, Ivana gently lets go of her arm around Sanaya and stands up from the couch.
She walks around the table...
Leans down on you, her long braid brushing on your skin...
And buttons your corset back up.
"Come outside with me a second." She whispers in your ear.
And then, she walks out of the room. "I'm showing our guest where the bathroom is, Sanaya." The Fire-aspect was so distracted trying to undress you with her eyes that Ivana's voice startles her. She looks left and right with a confused look on her face.
>Follow her outside.
>"I'm alright, thanks."
>If you have something to say to me you can say it in front of Sanaya.

>>46221538

>>46221558
>>"I'm alright, thanks."
>>46221558

>>46221594
It sexy charms only affect the damage, like Fists of Iron.
In practice it's like we got 13 successes, but they won't help us actually land the attack so to speak
>>46221558
>Follow her outside.
>>46221558
>"I'm alright, thanks."
>>46221564
I meant that while we do indeed overall follow the philosophy of "Don''t be a gigantic cunt like the First Age Solars this time around", sex has continuously grey area for us. Even after the orgy indecent where we cleaned up our act some, it's still been an area where we haven't been perfect in living up to our ideals.
Maka isn't perfect, and she REALLY likes sex. She doesn't use it in every situation, but she has tried to use it whenever possible, even if doing so makes her a "gigantic cunt like the First Age Solars" in certain circumstances.
>>46221558
>"I'm alright, thanks."
>>46221594
Both charms increase social damage, not successes.
They make social influence more effective and powerful if the roll beats the target's mental defense, but don't improve the attack's chance of success itself.
It gives you a bigger social sword that deals more social damage but doesn't make it more accurate.
...And yes I realize how hilariously suggestive "social sword" sounds like.
>>46221558

So, Ivana successfully defended against 7 successes? What was her MDV in this instance?

>>46221558

>>46221652
Infinite. Her commitment to Sanaya is such that seduction is unacceptable social influence.
>>46221654
We can be very dignified when we want to be!
We can also be a total whore-slut when we want.
Sometimes, when we roll high enough we can even be both at once.
It's part of our charm.
>>46221707
Having good manners and looking regal is not all it takes to have dignity. Dignity requires some self-control and recognizing that what we want is not the most important thing. "We're only slutty when we want to be" is not an achievement worth any credit at all.

As long as the people respect us, we act serious when we need to, and approach situations with the level of gravitas they deserve, we're plenty dignified even if we also act like a slut.
You stand up and follow her outside, while Sanaya is still a bit confused by what's going on.
As soon as you're out of the room, Ivana grabs you and pins you to the wall.

>because our most powerful charms require we sleep with them.
Only RLSS explicitly requires seduction. The rest of our social charms require social interaction, at *worst* skinship/intimate contact.
That being said, there was nothing in our charm list that prevented s from choosing "Let's not try to have sex with them in the first place" way back at the start.
Wanting to fuck is pretty much entirely Anon's eternally unfulfilled libido bubbling to the fore.
