Qwitzikottle breaks up his 'Brutality' act into two generic acts- and Crafts two Incarna, which it stores INACTIVE in his home plane.
Finally he takes his 'Courage' act and forges 'a minor bauble', which he throws at Faceless Prince's pages out of boredom.

Inform Aila that the Pages have been given a minor memetic hazard, and that she should confer with her Tome in order to devise a suitable magical countermeasure.

Use Transformation Act to create an astrological constellation:
Name: Blobderpy
Type: Constellation
Effect: Prevents The Stars From Being Right
Frequency: Once every time that The Stars would be Right
Description: A whimsical collection of stars in the shame of a blobderpy which roams the sky extremely slowly. Whenever something extremely eldritch would occur in the sky, the blobderpy occludes the event and ruins it.

Use Freedom Act to create an Angel:
Name: Mentor Figure
Affiliation: [death to tyrants]
Class: Angel
Traits:
 + Empowers morals who work with it
 + Not permanently halted by death
 - Not particularly strong
Description: A faceless lump of skin which can passably disguise itself as a mortal. Desires to find "heroes" and help them fight evil and tyranny.

I thought we were over this nonsense. But if this is how you wish it to be, well then, I shall return the favor.

C’thun spends a madness act to corrupt Blobderpy and instead making it so it is harder to resist the effects of corruption, as well as being incredibly difficult to alter or destroy. It is made into the shape of a chain, a mockery of their fear.

"All according to plan."

Intercede my body directly into C'thun's Act, absorbing its corruption into me, and corrupting it.
Filter the primordial energy through my Freedom Sphere, yielding another Transformation Act.


For, Corruption with the benefit of the freedom to choose, can be nothing but Transformation itself.

Since that Act is a clear threat to the status of Free Will for any creatures below, invoke my Noble Passion for advantage. :3

More or less ignoring the fact of its being attacked, Shinka maneuvres the combat closer to the Eye, positioning the Dweller between the Eye and itself before screaming at the Eye as loudly as possible and trying to shove the Dweller into it.

Also let's not advance the age yet.

Turn 2.1: Combats but no Collabs


An Ample Arsenal


Twi has completed the Bladewing Armor's base features by further improving its durability and protection against the divine. It is now a greater magic item in Twi's possession.
Spoiler: Bladewing Armor (click to show/hide)

Perhaps in response to ongoing hostilities, Qwitzikottle has designed an Archangel and a War Form. Both are currently dormant in Tun'goul and thus incur no upkeep.
Spoiler: Kah'korro, Archangel (click to show/hide)
Qwitzikottle also created a rather Eye-catching bauble and tossed it at the Pages in the Auric Spires out of boredom. Shuffling and restoring its original configuration soon became a significant distraction for the Eye watching team.
Spoiler: A Minor Bauble (click to show/hide)
Although somewhat reluctant to intervene in Page business (thus spoiling her observations), Aila did look for countermeasures in Half the Battle on Gibeele's recommendation and devised a marvelous contraption of bronzewood and congealed sap that banished the Minor Bauble to parts unknown (target: 16, roll: 14). Dejected with the loss of their new toy, the Pages have gone back to their vigil.

With the possibility of long-lasting tyrant figures still open, Gibeele created the Mentor Figure, a completely independent faceless angel aimed at uplifting heroic mortals. Mentor Figure has run off to explore the Plane of Wandering.
Spoiler: Mentor Figure (click to show/hide)

You Are My Sunshine


Harvey Harvest added to the number of extant suns by flinging a sunflower into the sky, and in doing so, finally realized the seasons. There is now a Harvest Season and a Growing Season, which is just as well because Reaping Rachel is still away from the Homestead, ferrying Space Madness to the star afterlife or something.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)


Transmogrification


Gibeele created the Blobderpy constellation to ensure the stars would never be right for eldritch events. Capable of killing any horrific mood, it conveniently comes into prominence whenever the stars would normally be right, thus making them no longer right.
Spoiler: Blobderpy (click to show/hide)
The creation of Blobderpy displeased C'thun greatly, and it sought to corrupt the constellation into a chain of madness of some sort. A noble defender of free will to the end, Gibeele interposed itself between C'thun and Blobderpy and took in its Madness and changed willingly, transmuting the corruption into a Transformation act (and briefly fixing itself in the likeness of a chain). (C'thun: -1 soft Madness act, Gibeele: +1 soft Transformation act)

Rude Awakening


The Dweller of Misery fell upon Shinka, raining furious blows with surprising finesse, but Shinka's nimble dodging prevented the Dweller from getting any hits in (target: 8, roll: 13). Annoyed at being dragged into a completely unnecessary fight, Shinka lured the enraged but surprised Dweller of Misery in front of the Eye (target: 12, roll: 9). With Shinka slowing down somewhat, the Dweller resumed its frenzied slashes but still missed the suspiciously evasive god. It was at this point that Shinka produced a deafening Eye scream, startling the Eye awake and drawing its dreadful attention! (Shinka: -1 Might, ++Suspicion; Dweller: ++Suspicion) The Dweller tried to dodge its frightful gaze, but alas, its speed was nothing before the fell saccades of the Eye. Shinka took advantage of the Dweller of Misery's confusion to fling it right into the Eye, garnering it further Suspicion but also banishing it! (target: 10, roll: 5; Shinka and Dweller: +Suspicion)

Dweller of Misery has been banished!

Woe and behold! The Eye is awake!

The Faceless Prince appears to sip on a teacup filled with liquid copper, or something to that effect. The mechanics of the affair is unclear.
I believe I advised calling off combat orders. Now look what you’ve done.

"You say that, but he seems to have done it on purpose." Gibeele whispers, waving its chainlike limbs in silent mockery.

Use ganked Transformation Act to make a Bauble:
Name: The Chain of Mockery
Primary actribute: Light
Effects:
 + Causes infuriation
 + just that, really
 - doesn't do anything useful
Description: A simplistic length of iron chain. Its only effect seems to be a faint aura of nostalgia.

My vote should be rather self-explanatory. But so we’re clear, the brackets denote that it is an action to take, not a name proposed.

First, hide behind Chariot so that, if the Eye tries to look at me, it will feel cooperative.

[Just let the mortals name the dang thing]: 1 (The Faceless Prince)

From behind the whale, Shinka yields up a seed from its inner essence and surreptitiously tosses it into (a highly irregular and chaotic) orbit, where it sprouts into a tangle of wildflowers, dominated by evening primroses and morning glories.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then, feeling it best to get this whole season business out of the way now, Shinka throws a handful more seeds into a more stable orbit in another place. Of these, only one germinates, releasing a tiny green sprout.
