Genius-Descendant - Phillip

[powersthatbe]

The Former Druid has, since you joined the Ring of Solomon, become something of a mentor figure to you, and you’re eager to impress him. The circle’s uptick in success since you joined is certainly doing that; because there’s a major genius in your ancestry (plot with AL!), other genii are quick to answer the call of any summoning you’re a part of.

However, this isn’t without its consequences. The bigger the summoned genius, the bigger the toll the summoning process seems to be taking on you. You’ve been left feeling faint near the end of the last several rituals, and you’re worried you’re going to pass out - or worse - sooner than later. You haven’t told anyone in the circle, especially not your mentor, not when he thinks trying to summon your ancestor is the answer to all his problems.

At first, that summoning is merely a daunting prospect. After the ritual backfires in Week 2, you can safely call it your worst nightmare come true.

Relationships:
Rightful Heir - You have no idea what the Former Druid is planning in regards to them and their cousin.
High King’s Child - You have no idea what the Former Druid is planning in regards to them and their cousin.
Master of Ceremonies - … wait, do they and the Former Druid know each other?
Former Druid - They’re your mentor! You want them to be proud of you! And yet… sometimes you worry about them.
Possessed Former Druid - Oh shit oh shit, this is your ancestor, this is your ancestor possessing them, is this your fault? Shit. SHIT.
Rich Dabbler - … don’t they realize this isn’t the real Former Druid???
Genius-Descendant - In over your head and too stubborn to admit it.
Magical Contract Lawyer - You really hope they know what they’re doing. Someone needs to know what they’re doing.

Plot Skill: Supernatural Catnip - Your presence when someone is attempting to contact a higher power guarantees that said higher power will in fact show up--no matter who it is. It doesn’t mean they’ll stay very long, but they’ll at least make a token appearance.

This is going to be a disaster. XD

Anything to report from week 1/plans for week 2?

[whatsina_name]

Phillipe was a general mess who was very, very worried about how far Londinium was from the ocean would compound his current issues re: summoning. Next week he will probably be panicking. XD

Anything to report from week 2/plans for week 3?

[whatsina_name]

As predicted, Phillipe spent most of the week panicking. Less predicted is the fact that after discovering Percy's real intentions, he's started going around to the other Ring members to see if they knew, checked in with Bettrys to fill her in on a part of it, and got a crush on a boy (unrelated to the summoning).

Next week he will probably continue hitting up members, possibly filling a few people in, and seeing how the Atlantic wants to move forward and... maybe decide what he's going to do about all of this.

Anything to report from week 3/plans for week 4?

[whatsina_name]

Nooot much. Mostly he just tried to get people not to bother him about Stuff and spent time with his ancestor.

[amadine]

Hey! We talked about this briefly on Plurk, but Bellarosa wants to propose (to both the concerned parties) that Atlantic vacate Percy and become Phillipe's roommate instead, with joint custody of Phillipe's body. Is that something you'd be interested in threading out in the coming week?

[whatsina_name]

Yes, I'd be down!

[leftbehindagain]

Anything to report from week 4/plans for week 5?

[whatsina_name]

Phillipe is going to be the Atlantic's new host, with a partial possession arrangement in place.

[whatsina_name]

Question- is there an obvious reason the summoning will fail? Is Phillip going to like faint in the middle of it or something?

[thornsofmalkav]

I thought I could let you guys figure out how best to send everything to hell--but yeah, fainting is definitely a built in option.

[notadisappointment]

You had one job, Phillipe.

[whatsina_name]

LOOK

HE FELT LIKE THIS WAS A BAD PLAN



.....he never said it BUT HE KNEW IT WAS THAT SHOULD COUNT

[notadisappointment]

It's not like Percy would have likely listened anyway. He's too confident that it will be fine.
