Dammit, he's awake. Cheese it! Run back to your terrible dark corner or whatever and pretend none of this ever happened before he turns around.

And if that fails, we were just passing through.

Pretend to have been stalking him. Use our latent seductiveness to make him slowly give us everything.

"Turn into blank space?" You can't just vanish on command in the middle of someone else's domain.

You also can't flee faster than he can turn around.

"WRETCHED MEDDLING CUR! WHAT ARE YOU UP TO THIS TIME?!"

Which doesn't mean you can't flee and pretend this never happened.

This appears to be very latent at the moment.



So. Back to Square Zero, it seems. Square One probably being not letting them know you're snooping around before you decide what exactly you're snooping for.


Sneaking another peek (mainly to find out if magicface followed you), you notice that the coast seems clear... except that it looks like the dumbs are holding a meeting of some sort. You'll bet magicface ratted you out and now they're standing around laughing at you.

You doubt trying to deal with them all at once like that would end well, but they'll probably be done soon if you had business with any of them alone. Unless they plan on actually making or doing something right now, in which case they'll still probably be done soon, just not as soon.

Try to listen on what they're saying. When you get close enough, whisper threatening discrepencies to them in an obviously fake falsetto voice.

Wait, if they're holding a meeting, that means their plans and stuff are both lying around. Completely unattended, presumably. Ripe for examination and possible theft, so to speak.

So get on with the examination and theft already! Take something highly important from whatshisname's place and plant it in magicface's den while you're at it. That is, if they have places at all.


If they don't, just eavesdrop on the meeting.

I know a good plan when I see one.

It doesn't work that way.

Plans are an innate result of something's presence- more like hearing them murmur as they work than picking up something they dropped. As a result, Plans move with their owner unless they have a strong residual presence in a region for some reason.

Now, if they had proper, long-term domains, deeply stained by their presence, then that shadow of themselves could result in Plans as well. But as it stands, you don't think you're going to get anything out of visiting where they were a few moments ago.


If they don't, just eavesdrop on the meeting.
That'll be tricky with all of them there...

...but you would get to hear what they're scheming about.


"Well, we certainly can't have him ruining everything. Let's just go ahead and not worry about the little things."
"Easy for you to say, you got everything you wanted."
"That doesn't change his point, though. You don't know you're unhappy with your exceptional boon, do you?"
"And that's the other thing! Why is half of everything magic?! We should have... maybe Piety, or..."
"One third of everything is magic, in the same way that one third is physical. The remaining third is neutral."
*grumble grumble*
"Ahem, I am a bit... concerned about this instability, though. I do wish to move things along, but... well, I'm deeply concerned that we don't wind up with problems later by being in a hurry now."
"I'm more concerned that we figure out what we're going to do with it. If we can change things after the fact, are we going to do so on a regular basis? That could make for interesting mixups, don't you think?"
"I don't think we should change things just because, but it will be handy to be able to fix things, yes.

...did you hear something?"


((50/50 roll: Just barely nope))

"Hmph! Back for more trouble, eh?"
"You."
"You."
"Oh dear."
"Knew it. I knew it! See, snooping about already. Has to be done."
"Great."

Oops.


Try to listen on what they're saying. When you get close enough, whisper threatening discrepencies to them in an obviously fake falsetto voice.
"Threatening discrepancies?"

"Um, the thing... doesn't match the other thing... or else."

You actually don't know of any discrepancies.



"Get out now and go away. We're busy and you're in the way."

Explain that such hostility is entirely unwarranted and, moreover, quite unfair to you. I mean, they're all doing something presumably important, and you're getting excluded from all of it. You, who is mostly their equal in power and probably entitled to at least some information on what's happening. Dammit, you wouldn't behave this way if they didn't act so dismissively toward you! How are you supposed to avoid snooping if everybody tries to keep you in the dark? Literally, one might say.

I mean, sure, you may have done something they do not entirely like, but who's to say that you don't have any interesting ideas and cannot contribute absolutely anything to a creative process? Your differences with the rest are to be appreciated, as conflicting beliefs breed refinement of ideas and a more complete perspective on what's happening. Not to mention that having seven entities rather than six makes voting much more efficient and eliminates any possibility of a tie!

So yeah, the other entities should totally at least let you participate in these things, if not decide anything important until you have proven yourself to be a valued member of the team.
