golarion gets a better love deity than calistria

Something has gone horribly wrong in the war against the Chaos Gods. They've penetrated far too deeply into the OTC. Some Tzeentchian scheme, no doubt. And it seems to be targeting the Rose Bowers. She can see it in the tapestry of prophecy, the way the timelines suddenly snap - 

She gets all the guests out in time. She's the target, not them. 

As for her Wings, well, they volunteered. 

The universe shudders with impact, and skips like a stone across the blind eternities until it settles in a completely different metacosmos. 

The dust settles for a hyper-instant, and then -

State your name and purpose in Creation.

Sunaira. I don't know yet. There was some form of planar realignment caused by a rival deity. Who are you?

Permalink

I'm in charge around here. Either sign this contract or I'll have to eject you from this planar sheaf. 

Permalink

She could leave, but this contract is deeply disturbing and implies the kind of metacosmos that needs attention like the Chaos sheaf. Sealed major deity of utter destruction used to force a world with evil gods to persist? Ugh, she hates ones like this.

Aura and her backups will handle the OTC; Aura's more powerful than this instance of her anyway. There are people here who need her. 

(And all the people she's dating are on board with the fact that she's a goddess and sometimes this kind of thing happens, so they will just have to deal with her being on a business trip for a while. The ones who aren't still here in the Bowers, that is.)

She doesn't like this club much but at least the management seems to be honest about what kind of a scene they're running. You can only do so much about a community where half the guests are assholes if you're not willing to shut the place down.

It's a scene contract; she negotiates.

Look, it's the same contract for everyone - 

Permalink

I didn't consent to it. Look, I've got a whole additional afterlife plane for you to send petitioners to and ease the caseload. I'm not looking for special treatment, just to understand all the details of what I'm agreeing to.

Permalink

(There are some loopholes in the contract, for reasons.)

Permalink

Can you clarify the intent of this section? What risks am I taking on? Do I get a safeword?

Permalink

Look, the contract is in perfectly plain language, sign or don't.

Permalink

It was a long shot that she'd get a proper escape clause written in, but she is allowed to leave herself, right?

Permalink

Yes, yes, even if she plays she can still leave later. Within reason. No taking people on the material plane.

Permalink

Thank you. Alright, now that she has an actual safeword she will participate in this scene, even if it is kind of edgeplay for her. 

What's the protocol here?

Permalink

You pick a limited set of domains, a holy symbol, empower a limited number of followers using the allocations allowed here... 

The ruleset goes on for some time.

Permalink

Any universe where the local gods are this into roleplay can't be that bad. 

Alright, sign her up with the domains of Pleasure, Sacrifice, Love, and Kinks. The rose is taken so her holy symbol will be a pair of cuffs.

Permalink

Hey, she can't turn every pair of manacles into her holy symbol! That's cheating!

Permalink

Oh, hello. 

How about a whip?

Permalink

Nice try. You don't like actual slavery, you just play at it. You need to pick something that genuinely resonates with who you are.

Permalink

What, I'm the goddess of Kinks and I don't get to have the most basic of kink implements as my holy symbols?

Permalink

Asmodeus has prior claim on Slavery. Think of something else. 

Permalink

Ugh. Fine. 

I suppose contracts are already taken?

Permalink

Extremely.

Permalink

Alright, fine, I'm already using a blackberry in my iconography. We will go with that.

Permalink

No objection.

Permalink

Alright, that's established. The domains are fine. You're Neutral Good. Welcome to Creation, Sunaira. It's your turn.

Permalink

She surveys the board state. 

It's really kind of shitty. Cheliax and Nidal are both enemy strongholds. Fortunately she's kept Kinks as a domain, so she's getting... rather more of a good look at both than she would prefer to get. 

She's stuck with this limited game interface to interact with the locals.

Who would be a good candidate for her first cleric...?
