Magical Contract Lawyer - Sabetha

[powersthatbe]

Magic wasn’t what you intended to be doing with your life; you once thought a career in mundane law would be perfectly satisfying. Then the Academie held an open lecture about genius contracts, and attending it changed your life - the contracts vary not only from one genius to another, but across the categories and sub-categories of summoning purposes, dismissal arrangements, and so on. After finishing out the semester at the Universite, you transferred schools and pursued your blossoming new interests.

A classmate who was in the Ring of Solomon asked for your help drawing up a genius contract, which was the first you heard of the circle; within a month, you’d taken on writing all of the circle’s contracts, and it’s not exactly bragging to say you’re responsible for a measure of the circle’s uptick in success. (Yes, yes, having the descendant of a major genius in the circle is also helping, but your contracts are ironclad and that certainly doesn’t hurt.)

Whatever backfires in the summoning of the major genius in Week 2 is not the fault of your contract; it all goes straight to hell before you even get a chance to serve it the contract. So now your leader is possessed by a major genius, the second in command is busy babysitting her possessed best friend, and someone’s got to herd cats among the rest of the circle while untangling the mess you all made.

That person is you. May all the gods help you.

Relationships:
Rightful Heir - Honestly, you care more about the legal ramifications of who takes the Albionese throne than who actually takes it.
High King’s Child - Honestly, you care more about the legal ramifications of who takes the Albionese throne than who actually takes it.
Master of Ceremonies - Can the druids actually help fix this? Is it worth the consequences of bringing what happened to their attention?
Former Druid - Honestly, you’d probably have been a lot more worried about their ambitions if they hadn’t kept giving you interesting work to do. In retrospect, you probably should have realized that they were biting off more than all of you could chew.
Possessed Former Druid - YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO SIGN MY CONTRACT DAMN IT. WHY DID EVERYTHING GO WRONG?
Rich Dabbler - You can tell they’re trying to do damage control in their own way. Really. But it’s annoying to have to pick up their slack.
Genius-Descendant - You don’t completely blame them for everything--as far as you can tell, the fuck up was as much your leader’s fault as theirs--but they’re going to need to suck it up and help fix this mess.
Magical Contract Lawyer - Somebody’s going to have to find a way to fix this. It might as well be you.

Plot Skill: Legal Kung-Fu - You know how to write and leverage a solid contract. If there is a loophole, you will find it. If you construct a loophole in your own contracts, it's going to be very difficult for others to spot.

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

[amadine]

Week 1 was mostly getting the lay of the land, and collecting a couple barrels of seawater in case there's a need to dunk Phillipe in one.

Week 2 will be reacting to the clusterfuck of a summoning; I don't know how exactly that's going to go down and what the immediate fallout will be like aside from Percy's obvious possession, so I can't really be more specific.

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

[leftbehindagain]

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

[amadine]

Week 3 was spent looking for some kind of solution to the current clusterfuck, and dealing with internal Ring drama.

Week 4, she's going to try to implement a possible partial solution, by which I mean try to negotiate Atlantic giving up Percy's body in order to partially possess Phillipe instead.

[leftbehindagain]

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

[amadine]

The log is still ongoing here, but Bellarosa is brokering an arrangement to get Atlantic out of Percival, and half-possessing Phillipe instead.

Week 5 she is going to take a fucking nap, and maybe figure out a way to get the rest of her people the hell off Albion if no one else gets on that while she's sleeping for 36 hours straight.

[amadine]

A question about her plot skill - is it an expansion of the general Magical Contract Law skill, or would the two want to be taken separately?

[powersthatbe]

They'd have to be taken separately, but we'd be fine giving you Magical Contract Law as a freebie.
