"Alright." You glance at the god, and then at the... other, smaller god. "Explain."

You pull up a chair, sit back down, and wait.

Yaraon, the God of the Western Plains, clears his throat. "Technically speaking, Shining Jewel is mine and Dancing Smoke's child."

"You're gods." You reply. You're no expert in applied theology, but, "I'm pretty sure you don't actually work that way."

The little god, covered in brilliant jewelry like a small, lavish doll that has spent a bit too much time in the hands of a hyperactive girl with weird taste in accessories, pulls up a chair as well and climbs up to sit on it, with a mannerism way too mature for its apparent age. He seems mildly annoyed by his own minuscule stature.

Yaraon nods. "Just like the Manse and city of Pearl is growing from my lands, Shining Jewel was born from me. And, Dancing Smoke was the catalyst for both.

Well, that makes a weird amount of sense, you conclude. You heard that your engineer, Valeriana, had asked / forced Dancing Smoke, the volcano-goddess-but-not-really, to smelt some Orichalcum for her, which went into the manse's construction.

"Do new gods always work this way?" You wonder.

"This way? You mean being born from other two deities who share some common aspects or connections with him?"

You nod.

He giggles. "Of course not. That would make way too much sense."

You groan, and shift your attention to the other occupant of the cozy room. "So you're Pearl's god." You conclude, staring at the small god, whose eyes barely peek from the top of the table.

"I am." He replies, with a childlike, high-pitched voice fitting his appearance, but the attention and calm he puts in his words seem to betray a mature demeanor that belies your first impression. He seems to be studying you.

"...Are you that small because you're really really young, or because Pearl is still unfinished?" You can't help but ask.

"Both, I guess." He replies, crossing his arms. His jewelry jingles musically.

>Who are we?
Maka, an exiled noble Exalted as a Zenith-caste Solar. Queen of Gem, now ruling the western island of Tianna. You have gathered a lot of allies and friends, and have a powerful Manse under construction.
But Tianna is actually an artificial island, built around a First Age Titan: an almighty flying fortress built in an ancient, forgotten age, and although this is kept secret, two Deathlords are seeking to obtain it.
The Tyrant of the Doomsday Machine, ghost of your past incarnation, seeked it as a weapon to cut her ties to the Neverborn. But you have persuaded her to try and seek redemption in the eyes of the Sun in other ways, and count her as an unlikely ally.
But now the Silver Prince is coming, to punish her and claim the Titan for himself in the name of Oblivion. And this looks like a battle you won't be able to talk your way out of...

>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=Solar%20Quest

>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.

Might as well get that done while were still building Pearl, we can pass it along to Mik and Val, they're the ones that have actually planned the city. He'll need his own temple though now that I think about it.

I guess we could ask about him becoming Pearl's AI, but without Val or Irene here we don't really have anyone with expertise on this for the details.

Nice to have you back by the way EF, shame about Saturday.

wiring him in as the cities AI just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I thought the city was already going to have its own AI and we wouldn't need to get one for it?

That's the plan. But then we didn't exactly took into account the city's god.

It's why I voted (>>39934384) to ask what he thinks of the AI.

>>39934415
We can grow an AI naturally, but it'll take time is what we decided.

I'm not actually sure how having a God as an AI would affect him though, he's not exactly human so I'm not sure if he'll have to die like a human would, Gods are technically just completely made of Essence so it might not hurt him at all. It's something I think we need Val or Irene here to verify
>>
>>39934470
He would be stuck in the city, just like how a human's mind/soul would.
>>
>>39934470
it would still enslave him to the AI

>>39934312
>Can you help with Pearl's construction?
>Do you have any requests concerning Pearl's construction?
Frankly, there are so many unemployed gods that we can almost certainly find a volunteer for that.
>>
>>39934506
Well technically he would be the AI, but yes it would mean he can't leave the city, being denied access to Yu-Shan is a pretty big deal, especially since we plan on making Pearl an important city, as a City-God to it he could be pretty famous.

A few info:

Current dress is #25.

Reminder that both drawings and writing are rewarded with either extra XP or the ability to make a special request, so you have no excuse!

Fixing/updating/improving the character list pastebin also counts. It's an entirely player-made thing and I'd like it to stay that way.

Solar Hero Style and similar dice adders add to the attack roll but do NOT add to your defense. I said otherwise in a previous thread, but I was wrong and got the old and new systems mixed up. Sorry for the mess.

Solar Hero Style adds to PUNCHING people.
Stuff like Fivefold Bulwark Stance (Dawn) or SHADOW OVER WATER (Night) add to AVOIDING people punching you.

They do not stack with each other.

Also, from now on for at least two months, threads will start about at this hour and run for a shorter time than I was able to keep them up previously.

To make up for it, I'm fairly confident I can usually handle 2 a week or sometimes even more. Let's see if this confidence is well-placed or not.

We can technically ask her anytime for artifacts I think, even more so now that she has access to Orichalcum, but I'd rather get some other stuff before we ask for an artifact that does something we already have a charm for.

Back on track now.


"So, about that Manse." Yeah, it's weird. If he's the Manse's god why is he here and not there? Does it have anything to do with Yaraon? Are you just overthinking?

"Yes?" The little god keeps at you from his side of the table, as Yaraon brings some tea for you both.

"Do you have any requests concerning it? I mean, if you're going to be its god-"

"I know."

Shivers run down your spine for a moment. Something in his tone of voice... You exchange a nervous glance with Yaraon, who seems to share your preoccupation.

This little thing, with his unthreatening looks and demure, childish appearance, shouldn't give you this feeling.

"...Know what?" You might as well try.

"I have no particular requests." He says, almost dimissively.

Is he always this... laconic? You try taking a sip of the tea to break the tension, and then try your best to ignore your burned tongue. "Is there anything you can do to help us right now? We... I'm sorry to ask, but we need pretty much all the help we can get."

He turns to Yaraon, then back to you, his eyes expressionless. "No." He says. "Sorry." He then adds, as if he had just remembered a moment too late how human politeness works.

"What about me, Is there anything I can do... that we can do to help?"

He gives you an odd look. "I don't need help. You do."

Can't argue with that, you realize.

"...I am not sure if you know, but we had plans about adding intelligence to the Manse... what do you think about it?"

Yaraon frowns. "Wait, what are you suggestin-"

"I'll do it."

His peaceful answer catches both of you by surprise.

"But... Jewel! Being bound to a location means you won't be able to move! Not to Yu Shan, not even around Creation! Forever!"

"That's not necessarily true." He replies, and gives you a knowing look.

You feel your stomach turning, as if under a sudden sense of vertigo.

The Titan's flying system. He knows?

"Stop being crazy." Yaraon warns him. "If you agree to this crazy idea, you'll be bound to that city forever! You don't even know how it'll turn out!" He glances back at you: "Uh... no offense intended."

"None taken." You concede. "I'm surprised as well. Agreeing to becoming a manse intelligence is a big decision. Aren't you making it lightly?"

"Aren't you?" He asks back. "Are you sure you want me?"

That reply gives you pause.

Well regardless of whether or not he becomes the manse's AI he's still going to be Pearl's City-God, we're going to have him one way or the other and I'd like to be able to trust him and have him trust us.

Whoever becomes the AI will be bound to the city. If we create an AI we will have the exact same problem.

As an AI:
1) he would be physically bound to the manse. Even a city god isn't bound to his domain, generally.
2) he would be the one handling most of the Manse's function. A god doesn't have that level of hands-on control on his domain.
3) one is "of the city", the other is "of the manse". the manse is going to be an important but small part of the city, remember.

Mostly these.
>>
>>39935590
>3) one is "of the city", the other is "of the manse". the manse is going to be an important but small part of the city, remember.
but isn't the AI for the entire city, manse included?

I am incredibly confused about how this lines up with what we first ordered for the city
>>
>>39935610
>but isn't the AI for the entire city, manse included?

The AI can affect things around the city, but it'd going to take a lot of work and materials to make it omnipresent in the entire city. Like, we're talking very long-term. Right now, the best you can do is just put the Manse building and immediate surroundings under AI supervision.
>>
Ok, so Shining Jewel is the god of the manse, who will then become the city-god? If he becomes the AI, he will be stuck as the Manse's god?

"...I don't know." You admit, gently standing back up from the table as you down the rest of the tea. "We've barely met, and you have been just born on top of that. And besides, you said that there is not much you can do to help us."

"No." He admits. "I will, when I will be able to."

Well, he does seem to mean well, at least.

"...I don't have an answer yet." You tell him. "Whether you are the one who will become my Manse's Intelligence, or stay the City God of Pearl... Or even whether my Manse will have an Intelligence in the first place, I haven't decided yet."

He nods.

"But, when I will have an answer, you'll be the first to know."

As you turn to leave, your servants in tow, Millian tugs at a corner of your dress to draw your attention.

"...Yes, I'm going back. Want to tag along?" You offer.

He just nods and walks.

Along the road, you can hear Regis and Jewel talking.

"So... you're a god, yeah?"

"Correct."

"And you were born..."

"Three days ago." He replies, calmly.

Regis scratches his head, clearly confused as to how to break the ice with the laconic god. "So, how's it like, being a god?"

"...Normal." He replies, clearly a bit puzzled by the question.

"So." You butt in, much to your butler's relief. "What do you know of your mother's situation?"

"You're planning to reawaken her."

THAT was direct. "Yes. Is that wrong?"

"No." He nods to himself, as if satisfied by that answer. ...Either your or his.

"Did you always know that that thing is here?" You ask him back.

"About that? Yes. I can feel the heartbeat. Underground." He stomps one foot to underline his words. "When you'll reawaken her, she'll get her heart back."

"What about you?" You want to know.

"I'm not connected to any of it. I'm new. I'm just a city god." He smiles.

"...But if you're just a city god, how can you feel it?" You must wonder.

"I just do." He replies, simply.

"Did you see her, by the way?"

"She was there when I was born. Came to visit. That's when I understood."

"But she-"

"No. She doesn't. Not yet."

"You didn't tell her."

"She wouldn't understand."

So small and already acting like a rebellious teenager? You chuckle. "Why were you so eager of becoming the Manse's Intelligence?"

"Why not." He just replies. "I can be your city's god and your manse's Intelligence at the same time. Isn't that better than just being one or the other?"

He can?

While you were talking, you've arrived back to Pearl. Or rather, the large construction yard from where Pearl is being born. And- you're quite surprised and delighted to see it in full activity, with Mikahil walking around, rolls of paper in his hands, barely visible through the gaggle of people following him. He seems to be giving orders and directions, and several (but not all) of the men with him seem to be from off-island.

With the corner of your eye, you just barely spot Five Tails sitting comfortably on one of the topmost branches of a nearby tree, calmly keeping the situation under control.

Checking again, Shining Jewel appears to have just dematerialized and disappeared. He probably just melded with his city.

You walk up to the small crows that has assembled around Mikahil, and they part to let you meet. Mikahil, absorbed in his own business, didn't even notice you approaching.

"...Oh! Maka!" He finally spots you, and starts stuffing all those papers under his arm.

"Good thing you managed to arrive in time. I wasn't sure I could handle all the work here on my own." You welcome him. "How are things going?"

He grins smugly and flings a coin at you.

You catch it in mid-air. It's a large, heavy round coin, stamped in gold and with quite some skill, you realize as you turn it in your fingers. On one side, you can see a blazing sunburst, with no lettering around it and no other details save the faint effigy of a flower within the disc.

On the other, your profile - rather flattering, to boot, and skillfully executed, with shortened lettering around it, in Seatongue and Riverspeak, spelling "QUEEN MAKA OF GEM AND TIANNA", the year - "RY 768" - and the value, "1 FLORIN".

"I weighted it so it would be priced at 13 guild silver dinars, and five of them would make one red cowrie. Easy conversion in both systems, rather than messing with fractions. It's just a prototype, so feel free to make any corrections." He sounds quite proud of his job.

Royal House of Gem and Tianna? Maybe a short from like SPQR?

Name seems like a bad idea, egotistical for starters.

Freely giving out your name on a coin that will go to god knows where to god knows who is probably worse.

"...It's really good."

You mean it. The quality of the mint is quite a cut above that of most city-minted coins you've seen and on par with the product of the best professional minters the Guild has to offer. You have to wonder if this was Valeriana who managed to find the time to work on this as well (unlikely), if it was subcontracted to some surprisingly skilled artisan in Tianna (a bit more likely), or if Mikahil can...

Actually, nevermind. Looking at that smug face in front of you, you KNOW he must've done it himself, otherwise he wouldn't be so damn proud of it.

And you wouldn't put Mikahil beyond having a background in professional coin falsification, thinking about it.

"Why the flower? And the name?"

"Blame Pyre Spark. He gave me the idea of using the flower - the daisy, actually - as part of the solar symbol. She said she thought it wouldn't be right to put the Sun directly on the money - so there's a sunburst-like flower to "stand in" for Him on the tails side. Same reason there's no lettering there, she thought it would just "get in the way"." He shrugs. "At first I thought it was just her being weird, but I thought I'd give it a try, and then show it to you."

"Mh." You rub your chin. "Still think it should have lettering. Maybe on the heads side if not on the tails. Something like, "Praise Be To The Unconquered Sun."

"That's a bit long, but I can use a short version or a monogram." He nods.

"Should we add a pearl to it?" You wonder, then.

"Could work, but where? Behind your profile? The problem with pearls is that they just look like circles out of context."

"Mh. Maybe on an earring or necklace? Think you can add it as a detail, or it'll be too small?" You wonder.

"I sure can." That confirms your suspicion.

"Would it be too much to ask for a frontal view instead of a profile?"

"Just warning you, I can't fit your tits on the coin."

"I-" you groan, realizing you were about to give him a serious answer for a moment. He giggles. "Just-"

"Okay, don't worry, I can do it." He smirks.

"Mh. I kind of wanted to change the lettering. And... Are we sure we want to use the Realm calendar?" You ask your final doubt.

"Everyone else uses that. You want to start a new calendar yourself?"

"...Actually, just leave year of minting out." You grumble. Part of you wants to just keep using RY as a matter of expedience, part of you wants to change it, but... putting your year of exaltation as year 0 is maybe too presumptuous? You're too undecided.

"...Alright, that's unconventional, but it wouldn't be the first currency without that. And the rest?"

"Just put Queen Maka."

You notice he's been taking notes on his papers. "Alright, will do."

"How are things other than that?"

"When I left, Team Sorcerer back in Tianna were getting serious. I think we'll have all the manpower we need and then some very soon."

"Any news from Valeriana?"

"When I left, she was deep into something she called the "Five Trials". Apparently part of the initiation to get Sorcery herself. If she completed them..."

"...I don't know. I hope it's not a bad idea to rush on something as delicate as sorcery." You sigh. Little you can do but hope for the best.

You look at the sun, high in the sky. Noon of the fourth day. You still have two days and a half left before the arrival of the Silver Prince's fleet. A bit more if Ocean Father slows them down a bit...

You blink for a moment as you notice something moving at the corner of your vision. Five Tails just leaps off the branch she was sitting from high into the air, almost unrealistically high even considering everything an Exalted could use to pull it off.

You crane her neck to follow her trajectory, but can't follow her quick enough: you just hear the dull "thud" noise of two bodies colliding, and then the quick pinging of steel on steel as she plummets to the ground, slamming hard enough to crack a crater in the rocky ground nearby as workers scatter with cries of surprise.

Finally stopped, you manage to look at her: a perfect three-point landing, her hands wrapped around something black and metallic pinned under her. You briefly catch sight of her legs shifting back to normal human legs and feathers disappearing into her skin.

The black and metallic figure she has pinned under her cranes his neck up.

"That was rude." Soaring Crimson Phoenix complains.

"Apologies." Five Tails replies, without giving him one inch.

"If it isn't our Abyssal friend." You welcome him with a bit of sarcasm.

"Pleasure to be your guest, as usual." He replies.

"Alright, you can let him go." Mikahil reassures Five Tails, who does so with caution before stepping back.

He stands back up, massaging his neck. "We finished fortifying the Dark Omen. If you want, we can lend you a hand with your own fortress. Our undead workforce is idle right now, and Mistress thought you might have some use for them."

"...Yes, Have her send them here and help out. Mik, think you can handle them?"

"I'm an Eclipse." He replies.

You smile.

"Besides, the people here already know that we're going to ask cats and dogs for help. I don't think there's going to be panic. If anything, I think that people here will have their morale boosted by that much once they realize that they have exalted, gods, deathlords and demons, all on their side, working at the same project."

"Only if you sell them on the idea."

"Selling is my specialty." He grins, and walks away.

Without saying another word, Phoenix has silently disappeared. Five Tails is back on her treetop, as tranquil as before.

You give a wave at Five Tails (who replies in a rather unconvincing manner) and head for the barracks, where you know you can find Zareen.

It doesn't take quite that long to see her, because you actually find her coming out to meet you. At first you're worried that she might have bad news because of this, but she doesn't look QUITE that distressed.

"Zareen." You nod at her. "What's up?"

"We got some... rather suspicious god-blooded asking for you."

"Rather suspicious?" You reply.

"You'll see." She invites you, dragging you along to the small, isolated brickhouse you've been using as impromptu jail here in Pearl. Unused up to now, actually.

Actually, it still seems unused, with the grate open and the inside of the small room empty.

"...Zareen?"

NOW she looks distressed. "Alright, I SWEAR she was here up to a moment ago."

"Yeah, I believe you." You nod, looking at the footprints in the dust.

"I haven't gone anywhere, you know." You hear a warm voice greeting you from just behind the small brick construction. Out of the corner steps a tall, shapely woman in rather scanty clothing, whose most distinctive traits are pointy horns and a bright red skin color. Her eyes, a brilliant, bright emerald green, contrast alluringly with her complexion.

Your brain races trying to stay on top of the situation. "Alright. Let me guess. You're the "expert" Radiant Starfall contacted?"

"Expert? In what?" Zareen seems rather suspicious.

"Demons?" The god-blooded (alright, demon-blooded, it's fairly obvious) suggests with a smirk. "I'm Ririth, by the way. Nice to meet you, Queen Maka."

"How did you get out?" Zareen asks.

"Starfall." Ririth shrugs.

"That little brat." The dragon-blooded shakes her fist.

"So, what can you actually do?" You ask, leaning closer.

"Well, I think I'm a fairly decent dancer- for, ah, certain types of dances at least. And I traveled a lot and seen a lot of places, if that counts." She explains.

"I meant for the thing we called you here for." You reply.

"Oh! That, yes. Well, I wouldn't call it something I CAN DO. It's more like... it happens?" She wonders. "Demons just do what I tell them to."

"What if they're bound?"

"Well, I never really tested it seriously. It just always happens. that's it." She's rather nonchalant.

"I wonder why."

She looks at you with those green, green eyes, shining almost like small suns of all the wrong colors. "Maybe it's just a matter of being polite and using please and thank you?"

"Maybe." you admit. "So, what's your story?"

"It's rather long and I don't think I should start with my family."

"Bad situation at home?" You ask.

She seems to stare in the distance. "Rather than "bad"... I'd probably just call it "weird"."

"Anything to do with the Cult of the Seventh Eye?"

She seems to jump at the name. "...So, she told you about them?"

"After hearing about it, it wasn't easy talking Amata into... well, not arresting you, much less give you this job."

She nods, staring at the ground as if reminiscing something. "...I made a mistake. But I never intended to hurt anyone."

"Yeah, your cult got hijacked by a group of crazies called the Crimson Cabal, right? I heard about it."

"It wasn't really a cult..." She mumbles. "I was just doing a selfish thing. I... don't like talking about it. I was being silly and wrong. Can we just... forget about it? I want to make up for my mistake. I'll help. I can direct any demons you're calling for this building, and keep both them and the humans working with them sane and safe. I promise."

"So, you made the cult to get back in touch with your family?" You put two and two together and guess.

"Yeah." She nods. "It wasn't a cult at that point, just some people I asked to help. Friends, acquaintances. There wasn't a religious part, we weren't worshiping anything. Just trying to make a link to Malfeas."

That sounds hilariously bad in your head, but you're still willing to leave her the benefit of the doubt.

"Did you manage to do that?"

"No." She shakes her head. "A few of the people involved... those that were more knowledgeable on the ways to contact Malfeas from Creation... I was wrong to trust them. They weren't out to help me. They locked me up and hijacked the cult."

"...Kept you alive because they wanted to use your connection?" Another guess, an easy one.

She nods. "I'm not sure what they wanted to do. It involved blood sacrifice at Calibration, in any case. I was probably going to be the final sacrifice. But..."

"But then Starfall Exalted and saved the situation." You know the rest of the story. "Can you tell me about your family?" You ask, feeling curious.

"I..." She winces. "It's... complicated. I don't really want to talk about it." She rolls her eyes. As if her horns weren't hint enough of how complicated her family story is, she seems to say.

"Believe me." She replies, surly. "You don't know anything about my package."

"What are you afraid of? I'll keep it a secret if you want me to."

"It's not that, I just..."

"And... there's no reason to feel shy or ashamed. I won't judge you."

"Really."

Zareen takes a sudden step back with a gasp of surprise. The area around you seems to have entirely changed hue, with all colors shifting harshly. Her skin is pink, yours is blue, your hair orange, the rocky ground violet, the sky grey, lit by an emerald sun.
The only color to remain unchanged is the deep fire-green of her eyes, which becomes bright enough to light the entire area. But it is a light that casts no shadows.

The clouds blow past you way too fast, and the sky seems to bend around you like a ball.

"Even if I told you who my father is, you would not judge me for it? Telling my lineage has never turned out well for me. Why should you be any different?"

You lean closer and brush a finger on her cheeks, causing her to jolt softly in surprise.

"...Because I can see your pretty green eyes are filled with tears."

The colors return to normal.

She leans onto you.

"I will not condemn you for what you are, Ririth. I understand you never meant to hurt people. And you can't choose your family."

She lets out a long, deep sigh. "Even if I could, despite everything... I wouldn't change it. Because... I love my dad."

"Nothing wrong with that."

"My dad is Ligier."

"Oh." You reply. "...I think I heard that name somewhere."

She giggles in your arms. At least she's got some of her good spirits back. "Let's say he's a very important demon, and when people find this out, they usually try to research how to cut me open in the proper way to make him appear in Creation."

"Is this what happened with the Cult?"

She nods. "...Yeah."

"Could they even do that?"

"Maybe only the very mightiest of the Exalted could have a slim chance to bind him and bend him to their will. But greed and lust for power will just shut out reason and common sense." She lets go of you. "And anyway... I might have my surprises, but I'm not a piƱata filled with Third Circle Demons. It's not how it works."

>You'll be safe with me. No one will hurt you. I promise. (truth)
>You'll be safe with me. No one will hurt you. I promise. (lie, lock her up again)
>If you want to meet your dad again, maybe some of my sorcerer friends can help you.
>As long as you're sure that there's not going to be any demon-related trouble.
>But... you sound like you're way too much trouble to keep around. Once you're done with the job, I'll have to ask you to leave my city. Nothing personal.

You hug her tightly. "You'll be safe with me. No one will hurt you. I promise."

You feel her relaxing in your hands. Her body feels strangely stiff still, like if she was made from warm, hard metal or chiseled stone, covered by only a thin layer of soft flesh.

...She called him her dad, but she didn't tell you everything. Still, now you know.

She let you know, by letting you get this close to her.

Close enough to touch her, to let your fingers trace the lines running under her skin.

Seams of metallic plates, elaborate clockwork joints, small screws and bolts you can barely feel under her skin holding her together...

"...Thank you." She whispers.

"If you want to meet your... your dad again, maybe some of my sorcerer friends can help you." You suggest.

She looks straight in your eyes. "Oh. If you did that... I'd be in your debt forever."

"You're making me like the prospect more and more." You smile. "Those demons my friends are summoning... They're not here yet. We have some time, don't we?"

She returns your mischievous glance.

Behind you, Zareen slowly facepalms.

Man. Considering everything, one can really argue that Maka is growing in power so much faster than any other "normal" Solar Exalted precisely because she's having so much sex all the time.

Also, I just want to say this as a random thought that I want to share, but don't think too much of it: I really like the idea of Maka's performance as specialized in dance, but dance is really difficult to properly convey in Quest format, since personally I'm not a dance expert or aficionado and I know next to nothing to it, so it's hard for me to describe them properly within a character limit, unlike, say, song, where a bit of description and lyrics are enough, usually.

So whenever people (especially Maka) dance in this quest, please be patient.

Actually, from now on, I might think of attaching lyrics to them and make them song-and-dance, sometimes. To make them more immediate, if no one dislikes the idea.

I mean those two are the only ones I can imagine Maka would LET top her (in Tia's case) or be unable to stop (in the deathlords) from doing so.

You can voluntarily be dommed, you know. If Maka let's her and willingly follows her orders then yes she can be dommed.
>>
>>39941584
>No, but force of personality matters as well.
Not really. You can have bottoms or subs with extremely strong forces of personality, and tops or doms who are much more socially mild. It's all a mutual social contract, not one based on pushing/forcing someone.

I know that, but I just can't see it happening.
I can only see her letting Tia do that, and the Deathlord being able to do so regardless of Maka's own stance on the issue.

Maka seems like the sort to swap roles near constantly.

I mean, given the diverse cast of beings that she bones on a regular basis, it's probably a necessity.

Except not really, the only times I remember ?Maka being the sub was when we were helping Samiel be more assertive, and whenever Tia manages to overpower us. Every other time I can think of, we've been the one in charge.
>>
>>39941889
No, Maka initiates, but that isn't the same as taking charge.

>Love Taps
I like it.

>>39941889
Look, you clearly don't understand this.

There's no shame in that. Walk away from the conversation.

What specifically don't I understand?

Eh, can you put it on mediafire?
>>
>>39941889
I don't think you really understand what the submissive role is, anon. You can initiate sex without being a top or being dominant. And Maka consistently seems to take the roll of a bottom, at the very least, and seems to have a 'spoiled sub' streak in her.
>>
>>39942085
Unless someone does that now, I will do it until next thread.
>>
>>39942000
The specifics of sexual relationships and the defined roles that make them up.

If anything, Maka leans more towards sub, but she mixes things up a lot, so it averages out.
>>
>>39942128
>spoiled sub
She is, isn't she.
>>
>>39942128
>You can initiate sex without being a top or being dominant.
I understand that completely.
>And Maka consistently seems to take the roll of a bottom, at the very least, and seems to have a 'spoiled sub' streak in her.
I have never got that impression except for the times mentioned here >>39941889.
>>

>I thought it had a dick.

>Maybe my ra/d/ar is too finely calibrated.

Look closely at her crotch.
>>
>>39942166
>She is, isn't she.
Yup. She's a spoiled and 'uppity' sub. She likes to push the limits of a sexual relationship, and provoke the other party into being more aggressive with her.

>>39942177
It's not about just downright peacefully submitting. It's about the drive towards forcing or urging others to be more aggressive and active towards her and being on the receiving end of sexual encounters. She typically initiates, but then she pushes others into a usually-top, sometimes-dominant role when she can.

She only tends to get dominant when she's trying to prove a point about non-sexual social hierarchy, like when putting Dancing Smoke in her place.

There are a lot of different types of subs.

He meant he called it before that picture was posted

In case anyone missed it, Maka just got sexier.

>She also knows how to speak Seatongue to almost native speaker levels, but still keeps a definite southern accent in it. (to date, few people have ever commented about it.)
She also has a sexy accent.
>>

>She typically initiates, but then she pushes others into a usually-top, sometimes-dominant role when she can.
I'm still not seeing it. We've literally destroyed beds having sex with Tia in fights over dominance.
>>
>>39942370
I tend to picture Firetongue as being vaguely Arabic (or other Semitic language) with Seatongue being the linguistic equivalent of the melting pot that is the Philippines.

So, if you find the Arabic/Israeli accent sexy, then yes, she has a sexy accent.
>>
>>39942128
>and seems to have a 'spoiled sub' streak in her.
Not really. We've never really clearly described her bedrooms habits outside of general terms, and when we had an argument about whether to top or bottom I recall we settled on doming after a ridiculous bout of samefaggotry on all sides.
>>
>>39942496
Settled nothing, every time this discussion comes up it always ends with Maka either bring sub or switch
>>
>>39942702
Not really. Some argue dom, some sub and some switch. Everyone is convinced their side won, then we do this again in several months.
>>
>>39942702
To clarify, I recall it was about one specific instance of whether do Dom or Sub, not all of time.
>>
>>39942763
Not really. The 'switch' people tend to be subs conceding partially to the 'dom' people. The largest contingent always starts out sub and then gets whittled down by argument fatigue.
>>
>>39942793
Like I said, everyone is convinced their side won. I personally see it as the exact opposite.
>>
>>39940080
yeah, he's got people for that.
by which I mean 'his intimacy towards "NOBODY FUCKS WITH MY THINGS" runs one of the largest demonic cults in Creation, based out of the South, for which she is the chief enforcer. also she is good enough at her job that the Bureaus of Destiny occasionally subcontract her.'
>>
>>39942891
she is also one of the most frequently summoned of the Demons of the Second Circle, on grounds she asks for very little beyond a thing to guard and an opportunity to murder the people who try to take it from its rightful owners. you summon Sondok, you know what you're going to get, and it's a lot of dead would-be thieves.

some of them, admittedly, might not have been trying to take -your- stuff.

>Maka is growing in power so much faster than any other "normal" Solar Exalted precisely because she's having so much sex all the time.
I think this is a big hint.

Maka might be a succubus.
>>
>>39943636
>Maka might be a succubus.
>might be

>>39941122
I'll fifth it I think we're at.

Unrelated note, does anyone know if demon-blood are Creatures of Darkness?
