[nobilis] Chrysoula asks, "I would like to meet tonight and then maybe
  schedule something for Saturday morning?"
[nobilis] inky says, "okay"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Chrys), "That sounds reasonable."
[nobilis] inky asks, "would it be a pain to start a little earlier for
  duchess's and jota's benefit?"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "you might want to bb that, to let people know 
that Tuesday nights won't necessarily be the meeting time for the games"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Not at all."
[nobilis] Chrysoula nods at Sarge
[nobilis] Sargent says, "and also, we'd all like ponies"
[nobilis] inky says, "hee hee"
[nobilis] inky says, "it'd be easier for me if we didn't start until 6, 
but I guess I could manage earlier if necessary"
[nobilis] Jota asks (of Sarge), "Would ponies for the whole party be a 
lesser or a creater creation?"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "hm. if you're the power of getting people from 
here to there, probably lesser"

(on chancel features, imperators and estates)
[nobilis] Storme says, "water park! no, wait"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Steel girders?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula wants a shopping list of features and some hopes for 
the end state and will take those and add it to the plot.
[nobilis] Storme says, "the landlord was fairly kind of, um, non-active 
last time"
[nobilis] Storme says, "in our chancel"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Lots of skeletal metal structures in progress..."
[nobilis] inky says, "someplace where it's dark"
[nobilis] inky says, "and outdoors"
[nobilis] Storme says, "somewhere with blackboards and fields and forms"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "I enjoy landlords, banes, and magical 
inhabitants, because they give me stuff to play with."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "i like the idea personally of resurrecting the 
lost chancel with the dreaming ferryman"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Yay!"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Dreams whose foundations have been laid, which are
  destined to some day be brought to complete fruition -- built on more 
  and more each day..."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "the ferryman rocked"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "I like banes, accessible domains, and long walks 
on the beach"
[nobilis] Storme says (to Sarge), "heehee"
[nobilis] Storme says, "I don't mind banes or landlords but I suspect with 
a more, um, evil GM than inky that those things would be more aanoying"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Hmm. We pretty much trashed the only significant
  structures in that lost chancel, didn't we?"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "where is inky's stuff on nobilis?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "er, annoying"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "i don't remember any of the terminology"
[nobilis] Storme says (to duchess),
  "http://www.drizzle.com/~dans/nobilis/intro.html"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Duchess),
  "http://www.drizzle.com/~dans/nobilis/intro.html"
[nobilis] Duchess says (to jota), "chrysoula's bb seem to indicate we 
start with a desolate area anyway"
[nobilis] Duchess waits for inky to chime in too
[nobilis] Storme says, "also I would like a banqueting hall so we could 
have the parties at our own chancel for once"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "ooh that would rock"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Oggb), "Feriarum was perfect for holding parties 
at..."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "You start in the ruins of a town. But where you
  start is not necessarily where you end up."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Well. Depending on whether or not you like the sort 
of parties where people drink out of plastic cups and throw peanut shells 
on the ground."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "by the way, i was thinking something when i read 
bb #nobilis 41"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "if i have no memory, how would i have anchors?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "hey, that's a good question"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "do i eventually gain my memory back?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "I guess you discover more and.. right"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "You remember the people in your life, but not 
the bigger location you're in."
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "do i have to make anchors out of people i meet 
during the game?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "maybe you have anchors but don't know why"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "ah ha"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Part of this is so I don't have to worry about 
the setting of the initial game in advance."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Also, you'll be doing any anchoring that 
happens in-game."
[nobilis] Storme asks, "also are we allowed to have pre-existing character
  relationships with other people playing?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "relatives, friendships, etc"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Since I plan on doing a fairly detailed
  work-through of the process of becoming a noble."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Yes."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "this may be a silly thing to ask -"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "i was thinking that if nobilis ever starts up 
again, i was going to take the character of Aisleen's best friend and 
en-noble her"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "i guess in terms of continuity, if the anchor of 
a nobilis becomes a noble, what happens to the first noble?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "This game is going to take place in an 
alternate causalty from inky's. But rules-wise, nothing bad, though the 
anchoring is lost or transformed."
[nobilis] Chrysoula needs to write up a list of house rules/basic setting
  assumptions. Hm.
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Hmm. Demanding is that Imp stat that means 'HG can 
give you missions without needing a good IC reason', right?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Or, well, Imp will make stupid and outrageous
  demands."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "The Imperators will come with, er, some 
predefined traits but I'm still working out the details on that."
[nobilis] Jota says, "A group Handicap might be good, although I think the 
one we had last time with Shaggy wasn't really well-enough defined."
[nobilis] inky asks, "hmm, what sort of thing were you thinking?"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Maybe something more restrictive -- instead of 'you 
must do X', more of a 'you cannot do X', or even 'sometimes, Y will happen 
to you, whether you like it or not'."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Since the gossip thing was too easy to forget, and 
it's kinda wishy-washy what it actually entails, since just playing the game
entailed lots of information-gathering anyway."
[nobilis] inky says, "mmhmm"
[nobilis] inky says, "or I suppose it could be some kind of physical form
  thing"
[nobilis] inky says, "the example in the book is some kind of fire-related
  imperator where all the nobilis have really high natural body 
temperatures"
[nobilis] Jota says, "But something like, 'you may not eat or drink in 
front of people you haven't been formally introduced to' might make 
parties more interesting."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "There will be two Imperators with different 
traits, but I'm going to let you divide up as you see fit."
[nobilis] Jota says (to inky), "Mmm, yeah."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "One or both of them will have a pregenerated
  virtue/flaw pair."
[nobilis] inky asks, "I dunno, what domains were people thinking?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "though I may make you guys help with that, 
since I know the flaw for one and the virtue for the other."
[nobilis] Jota says, "'Your footprints are clearly visible to other Powers 
for a full hour after you walk any place'."
[nobilis] inky says, "I was planning on Stars, with the guy being Code of 
the Light and really big on advancing humankind"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "also, one of the imperator affiliations is up 
to you to decide, while the other one is... shrouded."
[nobilis] Jota says, "I was looking at wish-fulfillment, of course -- 
probably Light as well."
[nobilis] Storme says, "X.  with no real code decided on as yet"
[nobilis] inky asks, "X?"
[nobilis] Alex says (to inky), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that X is
  pronounced as CCCCCCH."
[nobilis] Jota says, "With a goal something like giving humans the means 
to fulfill their own wishes."
[nobilis] inky says (to Alex), "oh yeah"
[nobilis] Alex exclaims (at inky), "Awwwk! No parse found!"
[nobilis] Storme says (to inky), "yes"
[nobilis] inky says, "former boyfriends would be a minor creation"
[nobilis] inky says, "ditto raves"
[nobilis] inky says, "(ok, technically that's E)"
[nobilis] Storme says, "probably wild, I think"
[nobilis] Storme says (to inky), "heh"
[nobilis] Chrysoula sings, "When you wish upon a star..."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Ditto raves are held in convention halls by 
middle-aged conservatives, and instead of playing technopop, they play 
Rush  Limbaugh's radio show."
[nobilis] Storme says, "also I was kind of thinking of having very low 
domain, and small domain at that"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Oggb), "Interesting."
[nobilis] inky asks, "so, er, you can make Xs on things?"
[nobilis] inky asks, "or preserve ccccch noises?"
[nobilis] Storme says, "also do algebra"
[nobilis] inky says, "aha"
[nobilis] Storme says, "also find buried treasure"
[nobilis] Jota says, "That'd be a lesser divination, I assume."
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Hmm. Does it still count as 'small domain' if you 
can find buried treasure, look inside people's bodies, etc.?"
[nobilis] Emily says, "and have power over love letters"
[nobilis] Storme says, "also some control over people who can only sign 
their name 'x'"
[nobilis] Storme says (to Jota), "well, I think I'm going to take small 
domain and be more restrictive about the associations"
[nobilis] Storme says, "like, the symbol x rather than the letter"
[nobilis] Storme says, "or vice versa"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "backing up - when we start, we are not nobles?"
[nobilis] inky says, "we are Devo"
[nobilis] Jota says, "I don't think we know yet."
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "or do we start like we did in inky's?"
[nobilis] inky says, "Chrysoula said she'd like to start as normal people 
and play through the ennobling process in more detail"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "You are not nobles as far as you know. You're 
just these people who witnessed some sort of bomb or meteor or something 
and are now in this wreck of a town."
[nobilis] Jota says, "So, even if we are nobles, we ahve no way of 
realizing that without knowing what nobles are."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "There are enough dead people to make it scary,
  enough missing people to be mysterious, and everybody you personally 
care about is either a player, missing, or around. Since I have no 
interest in forcing trauma down anybody's throat (though of course you can 
use it)."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Hmm. Optional Points might be useful for a 
short-term campaign."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Since if we know it's not on-going, we can spend 
them freely :)"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Ohohohohoho."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Also, I don't think either group had a Cult last 
time... that could be something interesting to play with."
[nobilis] inky asks, "good cult or bad cult?"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Do you mean, light/dark or helpful/hindrance?"
[nobilis] inky says, "the latter"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Either one might be interesting."
[nobilis] inky says, "one option is to have a formerly good cult which has 
now turned against you and is immune to direct miracles from you, 
therefore"
[nobilis] Jota says, "It might be fun to have a small but misguided cult."
[nobilis] maga says, "hmm."
[nobilis] maga asks, "are we started already?"
[nobilis] inky says, "we are talking about it"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Who adores the Imperator, and will do anything to 
get close to him, get an interview with one of his powers, steal of 
souvenir from the chancel, etc."
[nobilis] inky says, "ha ha ha"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "This is brainstorming for the sleepy people but 
not as focused as we'll be during formal meeting."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Always praying for favors, trying to set up public
appearances, trying to find out what projects he and his nobles are
involved with lately..."
[nobilis] inky says, "that would be funny, although I guess it depends on 
what the imperator is like to see if it'd fit their personality"
[nobilis] inky says, "hmm"
[nobilis] Jota says, "(Also, I'd again like to note how pleased I am that
  'imperator is considered insane and incomprehensible even by other
  Imperators.' is a two point *advantage*.)"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Principled might be a good advantage to have. Since 
I suspect recognizing Execrucians on sight would have been handy in that
other game."
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Hmm. Is there much online about Chancel stuff?"
[nobilis] inky says, "another possibility would be to have the cult be a 
bane in the chancel"
[nobilis] Duchess RTA as baner and thought of wolf
[nobilis] Jota says (to inky), "Ooh, Imp disadvantage and Chancel 
disadvantage in one go."
[nobilis] inky says, "if it's a chancel bane it seems like it's more of a
  creepy stalker cult then, though"
[nobilis] Jota says, "I wonder what an open chancel would be like."
[nobilis] Jota says, "And what would prevent bd guys from just rolling a 
bunch of big tanks in."
[nobilis] inky says, "I would be up for that"
[nobilis] inky says, "well, you'd have to see the tanks coming and do
  something about them, I expect"
[nobilis] Jota says, "(Hmm. According to your page, a bane is a spirit.)"
[nobilis] inky says, "well, it's an evil spirit that manifests itself in
  different ways"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Maybe it leads the cult?"
[nobilis] Jota says, "So the members are innocent and think they're doing
  good, while they're really being manipulated into being bad."
[nobilis] inky says, "yeah -- it could have possessed the cult leader or
  something"
[nobilis] inky says, "or corrupted them somehow"
[nobilis] inky says, "back with more ideas in a while"
[nobilis] inky says, "but I like the open chancel idea"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Hmm. Spirit Gateway is listed as -4/4 in inky's 
pages."
[nobilis] maga says, "hmm. I'm deliberating on domain ideas and having 
trouble"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Is that based on where it leads, or how much control 
you have over it, or what?"
[nobilis] maga says, "I kind of like the idea of a Monkey King-type 
figure,(who could then be the Power of Monkeys), but other than that I'm not
  having much inspiration"
[nobilis] maga says, "and since that would lend itself to a quite high 
Aspect character, which I kind of had last time, I'm not too keen"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Monkey King in the sense of being a monkey?"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Or in the sense of commanding the monkeys?"
[nobilis] maga says, "well, the Monkey King was, indeed, a monkey. made 
out of stone."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Aha."
[nobilis] maga says, "and he also commanded monkeys."
[nobilis] maga says, "and had neat shapeshifting and flying tricks."
[nobilis] maga says, "but it seems kind of limited and I'd probably prefer 
an idea I could play around with on more levels"
[nobilis] Duchess says (to maga), "hanuman"
[nobilis] maga says, "since monkeys are not a common feature of the 
universe, nor a particuarly ambiguous one"
[nobilis] maga says (to Duchess), "the Chinese variant thereof, yes"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "hanuman was god-like"
[nobilis] Duchess says (to maga), "i was saying to go for the indian 
variant "
[nobilis] Iain says (to maga), "You could be the noble of Tails, who takes 
the form of a monkey."
[nobilis] maga says, "I prefer the chinese variant. less noble and more
  naughty."
[nobilis] Iain says, "With the obvious pun on Tales."
[nobilis] Emily says, "also popular at fancy-dress functions"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Right."
[nobilis] Emily says, "and hell on coin-tossing"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "sigh"
[nobilis] Iain says (to Emily), "Yay."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "i am in the mood to re-do Wind again - except 
with a different set of powers"
[nobilis] Chrysoula is so far mentally dividing Inky, Jota and Storme into 
a familia, and Sarge and maga..
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "(though the familia will only matter for
  imperator-traits and my personal notes, not for gameplay like in inky's)"
[nobilis] Iain says, "I just realised that if Storme is the nobilis of X 
she could influence anyone with an X chromosome."
[nobilis] Iain says, "...so just like Penny and Kori last time round, 
then."
[nobilis] Emily says, "ahem"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Wait, I was thinking of Y."
[nobilis] Iain says, "But I guess X is even better."
[nobilis] Emily says, "I ahem anyway"
[nobilis] Emily says, "also, Kori was not a flirt"
[nobilis] Emily says, "Penny was the one who was off seducing everyone in 
the back garden"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "heh"
[nobilis] maga says, "Kori was more subtle and long-term in her flirting"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "are we going to have squirrels flirting again?"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Yeah, Kori definitely had an edge over your average
  flirter."
[nobilis] Emily says, "Kori was TRAGICALLY MISUNDERSTOOD"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Kori flirted with *me*, for heaven's sake."
[nobilis] Emily says, "nuh uh"
[nobilis] Jota asks (of Chrys), "Will they have two chancels, or one?"
[nobilis] Duchess asks, "who was the cricket/grasshopper?"
[nobilis] Jota says, "(Wondering, since you said familia split would only
  affect Imps...)"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "praying mantis"
[nobilis] Duchess says, "whatever the insect was"
[nobilis] Jota says, "maga"
[nobilis] Emily says, "that was maga's character"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "One chancel, effectively. That is, two chancels 
all mixed together."
[nobilis] Emily says, "who was loathsome and heartless, not to mention
  insufferably rude"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Emily), "maga"
[nobilis] maga says (to Emily), "he was merely above you."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Oh, wait, not a question. Sorry."
[nobilis] Iain says (to maga), "Long legs will only take you so far."
[nobilis] Jota says (to Iain), "Just ask Sarge."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Heh."
[nobilis] Emily says (to maga), "underfoot, more like"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "aw, missed all the #nobilis discussion"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Mmm. SOmeone should log."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "I can."
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Retroactively?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "yes"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Being the power of Continuity would be fun."
[nobilis] Sargent asks, "so what powers have been discussed so far?"
[nobilis] Jota says (to Iain), "You might have to deal with Lester bugging 
you for preservation miracles every so often."
[nobilis] Jota says (to Iain), "Stars, wish-fulfillment, X, and possibly
  monkeys or tails."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Stars is a good one."
[nobilis] Sargent says, "wacky"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "I was thinking of the Power of Spin"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Er, (to Sargent)"
[nobilis] maga exclaims, "I've got it!"
[nobilis] maga exclaims, "Power of Anthropomorphism!"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Quick, domain destruction of Disneyland!"
[nobilis] maga says, "kaBOOM"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "So, we're looking at inky, Sargent, me, Duchess, 
Oggb, maga, and Iain as interested parties?"
[nobilis] Iain says, "I don't think I'll be able to play."
[nobilis] maga asks, "hmm. what do the game times work out as in UK time?"
[nobilis] Jota says, "Aw."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "6 pm on saturday"
[nobilis] Jota says (to maga), "Five o'clock, Saturday afternoon, I 
think."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Er, six. Right."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Oh, it's now saturday? Maybe I could play, then."
[nobilis] Iain says, "But not every weekend."
[nobilis] maga says, "oh. that's perfectly acceptable."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "is that 'every other weekend' or 'many weekends 
but I need a life, man'"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Hmm, bit of both."
[nobilis] Iain asks, "Could you accommodate somebody who's around for 
about half of the sessions?"
[nobilis] Sargent says, "sure. you can be the power of wussing out"
[nobilis] Chrysoula is not going to be available every weekend without 
fail either, so yes. Can you be around this weekend?
[nobilis] Iain says, "Nope. :)"
[nobilis] Iain says, "My sister is visiting."
[nobilis] Chrysoula asks, "How about next?"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Can she play in your place, then?"
[nobilis] Iain says, "Heh."
[nobilis] Iain says (to Chrysoula), "Probably, yeah."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Yay."
[nobilis] Iain says, "I'd rather watch from the sidelines than cause 
hassle for other people's timelines, since you'll have no problem finding
  attendees."
[nobilis] Iain says, "But I guess Storme wants in too, so we have double 
the whammy."
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Who were the people who wanted to play last time but
  couldn't make it in?"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "JNC?"
[nobilis] Alex says (to Jota), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that jnc is
  Ender."
[nobilis] Jota asks, "Ghogg?"
[nobilis] Alex says (to Jota), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Ghogg is
  that which Ghogg is."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "I think I've heard interested-sounding noises 
from both of them, I guess I'll see if they pop on tonight."
[nobilis] Iain says, "I could make up a character, since that's fun to do
  anyway."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Whether or not I get to play it."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Those of you who will be asleep tonight, could 
you mudmail me your chosen Domain and roughly how many Chancel points 
you're planning on spending (before you go, not right this minute)."
[nobilis] Iain asks, "Remind me how chancel points work?"
[nobilis] Iain asks, "Or is it in recap?"
[nobilis] Jota asks, "I.e. how many points of Realm they'll have?"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "It's your Realm score. Yes."
[nobilis] Sargent asks, "how much in-chancel things are you planning on
  having, by the way?"
[nobilis] Jota says, "If there are six or seven of us, with 1.5 Realm 
points each on average..."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Man, I totally want to play this now."
[nobilis] Jota says, "That's nine or ten points to spend. Plus whatever we
  spend on chancel disadvantages."
[nobilis] Iain says, "I can feel my saturday evenings ebbing away as I 
speak."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "I like chancels, so there will be a fair amount 
of stuff. Plus, this being two entwined chancels will make it weird. Hm, I
should figure out how that works."
[nobilis] Sargent says (to Jota), "except we're in two separate chancels"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Not separate."
[nobilis] Duchess says, "one chancel, two families i thought"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Entwined."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Hmm. If we have two Imps but one chancel, the bane 
who runs the cult idea might not work. Unless the cult applied to both 
Imps."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "As if somebody took Shaggy and Vona's chancels 
and braided them together."
[nobilis] Iain asks (of Chrysoula), "How much emphasis will you be placing 
on the various flower rituals and so on?"
[nobilis] Iain says, "There was a little of that in inky's campaign but 
not a lot."
[nobilis] Iain says, "I never bothered learning any of it and it never 
hurt me."
[nobilis] Jota says, "(Although last time, I guess folks had about .8ish 
Realm points on average, so that's a bit less.)"
[nobilis] Iain says, "He didn't rely on a huge amount of the standard 
Nobilis universe, is what I mean, I think."
[nobilis] Sargent says (to Iain), "having now actually read the book, I 
think the flower rites are kind of cool"
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "Um... some? I plan on running a fairly 
book-close game, because part of the reason I'm running this is to help 
focus my ideas about Nobilis. But I'm also playing it out from the 
beginning, gradually,so nobody who lacks a book should need one. I hope."
[nobilis] Iain says, "Okay, that's fair enough."
[nobilis] Iain says, "We have a copy of the book, and I don't mind doing a 
bit of study."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Hmm, we'll all need to pick flowers again, won't 
we..."
[nobilis] Chrysoula is currently writing up some differences she plans for 
in hers she's noticed from inky's campaign, as a reference.
[nobilis] Iain says, "Cool."
[nobilis] Jota says, "Luckily, bb #nobilis = 12 still appears to exist."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "on the Imperators: One of them is female, with 
a shrouded Affiliation. One of them is gender-indeterminate, whatever 
Nature you want, and comes with an Imperator Flaw."
[nobilis] Storme says (to Jota), "if it didn't, I could prod Gareth to put 
it
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "(the Flaw being Failing)"
[nobilis] Iain asks, "Is that Failing as in periodically screwing up, or
  gradually declining in powers?"
[nobilis] zarf says, "As in Social Studies."
[nobilis] Iain says, "zarf, Duke of Pithy Rejoinders."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "gradually declining in powers, needs energy 
from y'all to not decline. You'll probably get the Harvest virtue to 
balance it out."
[nobilis] Chrysoula says, "which will pretty much make it balance out, 
unless y'all spend sessions kidnapped off to jotunheim or something"
