C’thun groans. “That was the worst thing you could have done for both of us, now my archangel is gone and the eye is about to attack you. Congrats, you have invented godly sucide attacks.”

C’thun spends a creation to do... nothing, it seems like.

[Glass]

Hmn. Well, while this has been a mildly amusing diversion, it is time to return to work.
The Faceless Prince takes their teacup and sprays the copper within it in an arc ahead of them; everywhere a drop fell to the ground, a humanoid form clad in light armor arose.

Spoiler: Clockmen (click to show/hide)

Name: Clockmen
Affiliation: The Auric Spires, whatever they have been paid to guard, the Faceless Prince
Class: Outsiders
Traits:
 + An Exemplary Watch: Clockmen are excellent at guarding and policing, being highly capable at ensuring that order is kept in the regions they patrol and that if something has been left in their charge, no theft will get by them, at least not without identifying the perpetrator. In essence, they are endlessly professional, and their profession is protection.
 + Running Down: A criminal that has escaped the Clockmen is only another way to refer to one they haven't caught yet. Clockmen are exceedingly persistent and have amazing endurance, rendering attempts to escape their justice a futile task for any but the most skilled.
 - Tick, Tock: It is always clear when a Clockman is present; the tick, tock that follows them is unmistakable. As such, they are nigh-incapable of stealth; you may not know specifically where a Clockman is, but it is always clear that they are there.
Description: Clockmen are technically merely a subtype of Tradesmen, but they are notably distinct in a number of ways. All Clockmen are copper, unlike the varying materials of other Tradesmen, and all wear equipment made for military and peacekeeping purposes. Furthermore, each and every one wears a clock badge set to their own, personal time; although many Clockmen may wear a single uniform, no two of them will bear identical clocks. Beyond that, Clockmen are distinctly not planebound; they can be hired and summoned by others to protect something or provide order-keeping services (though it should be noted that they will enforce the laws they are asked to enforce equally and impartially). The strongest Clockmen are typically seen guarding the vaults of the Faceless Prince.

I am willing to provide storage services for whomever may desire their artifacts and hard Acts be better protected than they may be elsewhere. All I would ask is upkeep of one generic Act per single piece of equipment or per pair of hard Acts.
[TN: Teacup of copper = Trade Act]

Arrange shifts between the four Guides in the mortal plane and between the Voicers to stay in the common plane

"What are you doing here, if you are here you need to talk to the Voicers, look at them just saying 'Greetings' to each other, how I thought this will be less strange I don't know"

Have the mentor talk and lecture to the Voicers

"I have run out of things to do now, and I would really prefer we could do as much as possible as quick as possible now that THE EYE is awake, so"

No: 3 (The Faceless Prince, Twi, Shinka)
Yes: 3 (Qwitzikottle, Gibeele, The Wanderer)

[Egan_BW]

Dirt: 1 (Harvey Harvest)
Dirt Cloud [Working Title, since mortals don't actually exist yet]: 1 (Gibeele)
Many Dirts: 1 (Shinka)
[Just let the mortals name the dang thing]: 4 (The Faceless Prince, Qwitzikottle, Twi, Gibeele)

"I suppose that if we're immediately advancing the age, as we should now that the ^_eye is awake, there's something more useful I could use this Act for than petty mockery..."

Use Transformation act to Modify the Space Madness, causing it to slowly cycle between colors and adding this effect:
+ While at first the star causes 'alignment' towards the star's creator, over time this alignment shifts, replacing C'thun's influence with the creature's own.

((grumbles))

[Glass]

"I have run out of things to do now, and I would really prefer we could do as much as possible as quick as possible now that THE EYE is awake, so"

Fair enough. I can think of no particular objections at this point, so I suppose I shall simply abstain.

No: 2 (Twi, Shinka)
Yes: 3 (Qwitzikottle, Gibeele, The Wanderer)

There is one more thing I believe is important to do on my part, however...
The Faceless Prince retrieves from their sleeves a feather quill and a small inkpot. Moving to the edge of the crystal sphere, they dip the quill into the ink, and upon the edge of the world, they begin to write...

Spoiler: Treatise (click to show/hide)

Name: Treatise
Type: Comet-shaped word graffiti
Effect: Prompts the start of an intellectual golden age
Frequency: Irregular, averaging once per century
Description: Black ink - reflective though it may be - is difficult to spot on the backdrop of a black sky, especially when the picture it paints is one so small; if a mortal were to physically travel to the location on the crystal sphere where Treatise is written, they would find it in handwriting only as large as their own. And for all that effort, they would find... well, a treatise. A treatise on the management of life, that of others and that of oneself. How to live a life you can be happy with, and how to make others happy. How to get what you want, and how to learn what you need. And most importantly - according to the text, at least - how to be remembered.

[TN: Ink = Knowledge Act]

[TricMagic]

"Not to put to fine a point on it, but I will spear people who vote to advance when I have yet to actually place down anything for mortals to use in ritual. Simply on basic principle. Let the Eye sleep before we advance, lest things be washed away."

Spoiler: Plans (click to show/hide)

Name: Lawful of Light, Elafry
Cost: Mortal Sphere
Type: Star
Effect: Crown Law
Frequency: Eternal
Description: A blue star seen across the lands, forever hovering above the cloud islands. It's light is that of Law, upon which all are decreed. Beast, Monster, Mortal, Magic. All look towards it's light, and crown one's kings beneath it. Be judged not by gods, but by yourselves, gather in forum and decide your future. Be that law jungle, town, anarchy, or piracy. All shall be decided and known.

Name: Nightful Planet, Abigail
Cost: God Sphere
Type: Dark-Lunar Fabric Planet
Effect: Let day become night. Let Lights below shine. And when it ends, let it become reversed, light above and stars below.
Frequency: Half-day cycle(eternal)
Description: A great body which revolves around the world. Each day it descends beneath the eye, and each night it rises above the world. At night all light fades to but a twinkle in the sky as lights blow rise against the islands. At day the light below fades to starlight as the light above shines down upon the islands. Night dim and dark, day free to shine.

"I will not have the mortals without guidance or sleep. Sleep is nice, and as of now there is no night/day cycle. Simply endless light with no space for darkness. And not having Law irks me on a fundamental level. The type that leaves me ready to stab things."

[Glass]

How, actually, is the sky presently arranged? I do not believe that we actually know if there is a day-night cycle or not. I had rather assumed that there was.
And will the watcher tire and return to slumber? It is now aware of our presence, if only in the abstract for most of us.

[Egan_BW]

"You will not rule us by force, horse. Besides, you have your chance, you're taking it now. You'd threaten over something as minor as stating our opinion... are you a natural killer, or just fond of the bluff?"

[TricMagic]

The horse tosses their head."I require power, and for that I need leverage. In this time all I have is a stick, and if the next age comes all I have will still be a stick. However if I have a Star of Law, then I will have a carrot. I do not much care if I am the one to make it or not, but a guiding light for civilization to be born under is pleasing to me."

..."I have focused much of mine time in seeking protection from violence, but in doing so have lost time to create. And my first act was to curse that foul star when others believed it harmless. While another destroyed it, it might be destroyed now just as well. And C'thun has learned from it's excesses, somewhat... Though they could be plotting beyond sight for one last act before the passing of the age. I still wish for time, one thing I am powerless to grasp alone."

[Egan_BW]

"You have your time, it is now. Unless you have further plans? Posit them, and see if we agree they're worth the potential endangerment of waiting."

[Knightwing64]

No: 3 (Twi, Shinka, C’thun)
Yes: 3 (Qwitzikottle, Gibeele, The Wanderer)

C’thun laughs. “Don’t think I’m going soft Twi! I’m just doing this to piss people off.”

C’thun smiles. WITH MIST

[Glass]

Hmn. I suppose one must trade a vote with no purpose but to annoy with a vote with no purpose but to maintain an accurate representation of desires.

No: 3 (Twi, Shinka, C’thun)
Yes: 4 (Qwitzikottle, Gibeele, The Wanderer, The Faceless Prince)

I will reiterate that I do not particularly care if we advance the Age yet or not, but I don't believe that we should hold this advancement back simply due to one god's spite.

[Egan_BW]

Once again crossing out my useless bauble to pitch in a Transformation Act to create the border between night and day.

Name: Twilight's Affection
Type: Ring of Dusk
Description: A perfect around the Crystal Sphere, orthogonal to the Sewing Sun which separates the half of the sky which is day from the half which is night. The band itself is colorful and intricately detailed, rewarding those who watch the sky at dusk or dawn with a compelling sight. (Of course, while in transit between islands, one would be able to see both halves of the sky equally, along with the Twilight Affection, but it is most visible when the Sewing Sun is partly occluded.)

[micelus]

Susan is rather...coy about getting involved in this muddling of waters and focuses on continuing with the great work of populating Creation with all manners of stratum.
