Turn 9."Right. Secrets, Vis, you're up."
Grab a hold of them(Rockeater & TrickleJest) with my light and throw them at the mysterious man.
Point my Cane at Augustus- "Divi-ine~ Buster!"
[A huge blast(Ball/beam) of Magical Energy is shot at Augustus]
For whatever reason, you decide to pick up a magic user (and a guy with a really cool sword), and throw them at a guy whose only defining feature is his ability to use anti-magic. The mysterious man points his white flag towards the two you throw. Trickle's vis is immediately disabled, and the ball of Mr. Doctor's vis that he was apparently still carrying rapidly destablises! Rockeater's secret weapon isn't affected, because it's shhhhhecret. Both Rockeater and Trickle crash into the mysterious man.
"Ah, I see! In this place, there exist many cursed
charismata, strange and devilish abilities that manifest in order to bring the world into madness! Why charismata? -- for they pretend to be of divine providence. Indeed, everything in this nightmare claims divine providence. Still, the nightmare must be endured to bring about cleansing, rebirth, and kingdom!"
I'd suspect they look at the mysterious man strangely.
You apply a Divine Buster, Master Spark, or whatever form of anime laser you prefer (what? you outright stated Divine Buster?) to "Augustus". A majority of his body appears scorched, and he appears to be becoming closer and closer to crumbling to bits.
Find the most comfortable way to hold my wepon and hit one of the walls
You hit one of the walls, causing it to be changed in some secret fashion. Unfortunately, the wall is (supposed to be) big and strong and now battered. It breaks open. You look at the newly opened rift, and realise that this isn't the Rome you're probably familiar with. Inside and around this Colosseum is no greenery, no sign of urbanisation. It's simply desert.
You feel like you caused that in some ineffable way.
Continue ranting with the goal of converting any receptive members of the CCC box into neoreactionaries and just generally fucking with the nonreceptive members.
You continue ranting. While the remaining members of the CCC don't seem as receptive to your subversive rhetoric, you feel like your words have, as the mysterious man said, 'divine' providence. Perhaps not divine, but preternatural? "Augustus" seems quite annoyed. He convulses again, and begins to melt.
Begin to subvert the cabal.
You, on the other hand, are working from the inside. You ask everyone around if "Nick Land" has a few good points. One of them says that they're a Discordian monarchist, and that they're not really fond of the party line. Another says that this entire place scares them. You start to point out flaws in the CCC's ideology, and successfully convert 5 of them to your team.
Welp. I guess I'm not an infiltrator anymore, if I'm being thrown at 'em. Oh well. Might as well do it now. Holding out my Vis ball, I bend my arm around the mysterious man. My nose presses up against the nose of the man, as I smile at him. "Hello, friend." I grin, smacking my head against his. Then, as it happens, I smack the ball of Vis into him, ramming it into his back and shattering every bone in his back. Once it dissipates, I bounce back and disappear in a flash.
And hey, TricMagic, what's your deal? Why'd you toss me like that? I was blending in, you know.
You smack the mysterious man with a ball. He is too slow to raise his flag, and gets slammed.
"Cursed child, I may be battered and beaten, but my vague and nigh-heretical allies in the Convention come."
>read the contract carefully
"This contract represents a pact between two parties: 'the people', a bunch of random people we dragged here, and the Chaos Continuation Committee. Still, we are required to state that this contract represents an oath taken by these two parties under their own decision and 'liberty', and that both parties are equally responsible for the consequences of their actions, and whatever is invoked by the signing of this. Upon the signing of a single actor (who represents the interests of 'the People', even if other members of 'the People' disagree), 'the People' give their permission to let reality be reorganised in the vision of the Chaos Continuation Committee."
Use pieces of the railroad to make some armor and try to strengthen my aura.
You consume 3x railroad components to create some Plot Armour! This increases your aura by 3 points.
arabia uber alles"Augustus Caesar" remains in marble statue form, despite battering. Still, he does not quite aggrieve anyone as of this moment.
"You all still have an opportunity to annihilate reality in favour of our vision: one with liberty and freedom, community and self-control. What do you say, SingularSpades?"
I don't know about you guys, but I think he's lying through his teeth.The mysterious man looks at TrickleJest and cackles.
"I do not quite trust
Córdoba, but they have the backing of my dearest comrades. I suppose that I will have to do this for them." The mysterious man approaches TrickleJest. "In the name of the poeple of the book, and our God, I shall steal your voice." He picks up the VOX, and runs away. You feel a strange thing tearing at your vis, and find that the Vis Hotspot is reduced to 1, though all of your vis has been exhausted prior due to the mysterious man's anti-magic.
