RE: Four. - Lordlyhour - 07-30-2017
The Management is fairly sure that what The AUBREYOur Dear Patron Chooses to Do with anything the Council bequeaths to her is entirely up to her discretion. The Council is here as an advisory board and a source of WILL for The AUBREYOur Dear Patron to draw upon and make manifest. I see no issue in acting in an advisory role to another party and nor do I see any reason to Object if The AUBREY should decide to Manifest her will in a Manner that is Beneficial to an Ally. The Stronger one's Allies, to easier it is to achieve your goals with their assistance. On that note, however, it is important to note the stronger one's own self is, the easier to is to achieve one's own goals without the support of allies, should the need ever arise. On THAT note, now may be the time to procure yourself a weapon? The New Management would like to second Council member Seyhial's Suggestion. Anything that brings new assets into contact with The Mindmass should be encouraged

RE: Four. - a52 - 08-01-2017
Miss Aubrey, Esteemed Councilmembers,
I am afraid that my aging typewriter has finally given up its mechanical ghost, so to speak, so I shall have to resort to penning these letters by hand. Please forgive me if my correspondence is somewhat briefer as a result.
Moving on, I trust the wise members of the Council to make the best decision regarding Miss Rahasya. I believe there are benefits and dangers to either choice, so I shall abstain from this discussion and accept the Council's verdict either way. Though no matter what happens, Miss Aubrey, and particularly if Miss Rahasya joins our little adventure, I would advise you to be exceedingly careful with your choice of words around her. She strikes me as one who will constantly be looking for ways to bind you into unsavoury agreements, as well as one whose pride may be easily injured.

Virtually Everyone Wrote:>Overwhelming approval
Aubrey gives Rahasya a decisive nod. She acknowledges your individual remarks, but there'll be time to spawn a weapon and so forth later on. Right now...
AUBREY
"Congratulations. I think everyone likes you."
RAHASYA
"Do they... Well. I look forward to working with you. Them?"
Rahasya frowns and glances up into the void.
RAHASYA
"Can they hear me?"
AUBREY
"Yeah. To quote a video game I played once:"
"'Their name is Council. They can't talk to us. However, they can hear and see everything.'"
RAHASYA
"Aha! I presume your benefactor speaks directly to your mind, then?"
"That explains your most concerning muttering..."
AUBREY
"You'll be muttering to yourself too once they start talking to you."
"Have they tried that yet?"
Rahasya shakes their head.
RAHASYA
"I've thought no thoughts which aren't my own."
AUBREY
"Hmmm. I'd ask for a communication device, but I don't think they should send me any more gifts."
She unpins her badge and beckons Rahasya closer.
AUBREY
"I have any idea. Touch this."
"Don't take it, just touch."
RAHASYA
"Curious little trinket. It appears to be missing some pieces..."

Rahasya touches the tip of a tendril to the COUNCIL'S FAVOUR. All at once, their mind's ear becomes accessible to your voices—and vice versa.

Greetings, Rahasya, Master of the Colourless WorldDear Auxiliary Patron. The Management hopes your arrangement with The AUBREYOur Dear Patron Will be Mutually beneficial and would like to discourage you from any rash actions, such as, perhaps, Betraying The AUBREY. It is our job to aid her until such time as her quest is complete and any obstacles that get in the way of that being done must be dealt with in any way available to us. That you have granted us access to your mindscape allows The Council a much greater degree of Leeway, if you should decide, in the future, that you should Be one of the Obstacles. note that your Torsonoodles are Delightfully Squamous.

Greetings, Rahasya. You just connected to #theCouncil at eagle-time.org.
We are the Council. We oversee Aubrey in her antics, faults, and general wellness. We can provide material objects such as the pink box you see and the token you're touching, and immaterial resources such as ideas, concerns, and cures to loneliness.

Greetings! I am Sir Erasmus Antioch, captain of the HMS Zephyr. I look forward to making your acquaintance.

Aubrey doesn't reply. Right now, she and Rahasya are sharing a 'line' via the COUNCIL's FAVOUR. She knows your introductions are far from over.

They raise a white eyebrow.

Not terribly cohesive, are you, darlings...?
I'm starting to understand why the li--
AUBREY

Why Aubrey is always mumbling to herself.
I imagine it must be difficult for so many guides to agree upon a course of action.

The good Captain here seems to like titles, honorifics and things.
How about, uh, 'Esteemed'? After all, you're kind of like nobility.

RE: Four. - Arcanuse - 08-07-2017
One thing I should tell you, prospective client Rahasya.
Although I am happy to trade my wares in exchange for various tasks being completed, I much prefer to take payment in WILL.
Additionally, after a certain... Incident prior to Aubrey, I prefer to assess the presence, quantity, and quality of will rather than take my clients word for it.
The Repo Man cometh, heh.
Ahem. Lastly, unlike my... counterpart, I am required to fulfill my end of any bargain to the fullest. No hidden strings, no faulty gifts. My clients always receive exactly what they pay for, no more, no less.
But ah, I get ahead of myself.
I will see to procuring a suitable badge for you that we might discuss matters further. Or would a form other than a badge be preferable?
