A neverending field

[Ebiris]

"Actually no, the talk ended quite amicably by the standards of these things," Alicia says, shaking her head. "Of course she has allies, and so do we. She's already being pressed by the Seldarine after they took offence to Violet's actions, but I'm focusing my attention on her cults and followers on primes. I've got no plans to invade the Abyss, it's just not worth it to me right now."

"Low key is fine, then. I'll see about directing some efforts that way as well. In fact, perhaps everyone at the Cauldron could do it?" Seira muses. "Everyone's looking to Compete, and it might as well be for a good cause rather than just meaningless clashes for power. I'll suggest it to the others."

"Unless Malcanthet's goal was for you to stay back because she's tied up with the Seldarine," Kascha frets, "Oh, and then we're playing right into her hands." A soft sigh, "This seemed so simple when I discussed it with Antenora, but the plans are so complicated."

[Ebiris]

"She explicitly wanted a truce and that was discussed as a separate matter from trading for Violet," Alicia tells Kascha so as to give more context. "Ultimately we have to follow our own instincts, that sort of navel-gazing and fretting over how clever our foes are does nothing but make us sad. I'm going to continue opposing Malcanthet at the current intensity because that's what I can afford to commit, and I'll meet any escalation with one of my own."

"Then it sounds like a plan for now," Seira voices. "As for 666, perhaps Sylvie could look into it? I'll contact her to sound her out. Her experiences with 21 and ties to Celestia could give her an advantage."

[Ebiris]

"Alright," Alicia nods, standing up. "If there's nothing else I'd best get back to Sylica."

[Anastasia]

"She may be best for it," Kascha agrees. "She's the only person I've met who may be as intelligent as you, Seira."

[Corwin]

"So tons of book smarts and a concerning lack of judgement at times?" Seira snorts, standing up herself to show Alicia out. "I might have more in a week or so, but nothing solid to share so far. Perhaps I'll visit next?"

[Ebiris]

"Come by any time," Alicia agrees, bidding farewell to the pair as she's shown out and plane shifts back to Sylica.

[Anastasia]

Okay then Seira, next move now that this has wound down?

[Corwin]

Dis plotting time!

[Anastasia]

It's not hard to get everyone together for it in the Cauldron, in an outer balcony that overlooks the new lands. The oceans in particular as you can see the sea, the ocean blue depths bright under the sun's light.

Go ahead.

[Corwin]

I'd like to start the presentation by informing everyone what I got from Asmodeus. Since we delayed that until a later time, I don't know that information OOC. Can you please tell me OOC or cover it IC as Amaryl informing Xera and Zariel?

[Anastasia]

Sure, just refresh me on what you were supposed to get.
