Consequences?  Oh boy, I love consequences!  They make for exciting character development!

Gwydion and Meara, feel free to take the lead on your inquiries. You guys know who you want to speak to and about what. I will respond as necessary.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey MerLN -hic- whatcha dooooooooooooin'?"

Everyone else is on the ground.  There are several bottles of strawberry wine on the table, most of them empty.

At what point can we actually be in contact with MerLN, by the way?

Absolutely at your leisure. You can contact him right now if you'd like.

Ooo. Let's see how Meara handles talking about Brun's butt in front of MerLN.

Honestly?  About as well as she handles talking about it anywhere else.

Brun munches popcorn, "So, MerLN's MerGN-A's brother, kinda....right?  Ask him what she likes?  Like books....or whatever, y'know?  I want to like get her a surprise gift....or whatever..." He then flips his emo hair out of his face.

Brun have a FP because your excellent trouble is causing issues for your friends!

Thanks...or whatever....  gah... *Flips*

I'm not sure why emo sounds like Napoleon Dynamite in my head.

Meara's being forced to be responsible and she doesn't like it.

Gwydion, Meara, FP to the first one of you that issues a decisive plan on how to deal with the Brun/Euryleia situation. You two are nobles trained to lead, not pass the buck! =P

As an Eagle Scout, I can confirm that "trained to lead" and "comfortable enough to lead" are two very different things.

Can I compel Gwydion's Transparent Principles?😈

Maybe not just talking to Brun would feel deceitful...  always better to be up front, riiiiight?

Not sure that's how this works

Oh noes!  Brun, RPoL ate your special character/emoji and replaced it with numbers!

Also I think it'd be pretty funny if Meara, the one who is expected to cause diplomatic problems, is the one who took the wiser action, while Gwydion ends up being the one to potentially undermine everything.

Or cut through all the intrigue and end up getting to the answer faster.  Either or!

In reply to Brun (msg # 922):

That's exactly how it works!

Great compel suggestion, Brun!

Edit: Meara, take you FP too! If Gwydion accepts his, you two could be at odds about the situation. Fun!

Aw... It was a smiley devil...  stupid RPOL.

And Gwydion, this is just suggestion that could earn FP.  Trying to give you an easy out!

Oooooh....  what if Meara's Shattered Innocence starts to make her very worried over the idea that Brun might have allowed Emergent influence...  all those people...

Oh, depending on what info comes back, it's very possible that'll be compelled.

Yay, FP!

Ah! So this is how we get the Arthurian Cycle civil war!

And the split of the happy couples too!

Iliza would side with Meara.

Irina would side with Gwydion.

Earth and Venus divided.

Even Brun's butt is split in two!

MerGN-A's plan all along!

That's one way to spread the cheeks.

Well, that escalated quickly...!

Also you know Meara would spend a fate point to convince Irina to take her side, if only through the power of Irina's incredible lust for brains with her brawn.

Ooooh heck. That compel is real good, but Gwydion's already made his choice between those two things for now.

Hm. Maaaaaybe it can be him giving the whole thing away next time he and Brun are chatting.

(Hokey smokes ya'll put in seven posts while I was writing this?)

Look, 25 minutes is a long time!  Especially to those in Refreshers Anonymous!
