This isn't *actually* Dominic's Phone Number (he had that line disconnected *years* ago), and strictly speaking it doesn't even communicate with Dominic. It *is* a slip of paper with a telephone number on it (invariably busy, and usually long-distance), plus the words "Dominic (AA)". It's also a Relic that sends a message (via the Celestial Song of Tongues) to a Master of Law once per day, as it regenerates its 1 note of Essence. However, it can only be activated if its owner is a demon; in any other hands, it's just a normal sheet of paper. The message sent, naturally enough, is "A demon has Dominic's phone number", which typically brings whichever Master of Law is on duty at the moment down on said demon's head. Oddly, Dominic didn't commission these (as was evidenced, in the original models, by the fact that they did, in fact, point to a land line owned by one of Dominic's vessels); some have theorized that they were creations of Eli, a sort of cosmic wedgie, as it were; others think that it's one of Janus's servitors trying to annoy Judgment. Whatever the case may be, Dominic doesn't necessarily approve of them - but he does keep one of his Masters on call at all times in order to receive the messages. Dominic's Phone Number Relic: Celestial Tongues/6: 18 Reliquary/1: 3 Use restriction: May only be used by demons: +4 Visibility: Impossible to detect in the corporeal realm: +5 Vulnerability: Celestial artifact destroyed when corporeal artifact destroyed: -4 Convenience: Can be worn or carried in a completely hidden way: +3 Charges: One use: cost/4 Total cost: 8 ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2002 18:49:14 +0000 From: "Janet Anderson" Subject: Re: IN> New Relic: Dominic's Phone Number >Dominic's Phone Number Dark Humor.

New Discord for Lusties... but you guessed that, right? - -EDG Misnomer (Ethereal) This Discord most commonly shows up in servitors of Lust and Creation, but also appears with some frequency in Mercurians, Impudites, and (for whatever reason) Djinn. It causes slips of the tongue: anyone with this Discord must roll Intelligence, minus the level of the Discord, to call anyone by their correct name. The roll is at a further -2 if the Discordant celestial has been intimate with the named subject within the last 24 hours. Further, the level of the Discord determines how badly a missed name is distorted: at level 1, the change is a harmless slip ("Larry" might come out as "Harry"), while at level 6 the name might change nationality, gender, or both ("Larry" might turn into "Francois" or "Hitomi"). ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2002 21:47:21 -0700 From: Matthew Webb Subject: IN> To Die Free: The Warsaw Ghetto Tether *Warning: Thoughts herein may be disturbing or upsetting to others. I recognize this is a sensitive subject to this day, and I try to handle such things with the most respect possible.* "Of course, I can answer your question, and I can see in your eyes that you can and will pay the price required. Yes, I was there in those final days, those final moments. I walked amongst the Jewry and the ghettos. I watched the children begging for bread after sneaking over the cinder-block walls. Even I had no idea what was coming, the explosion of passion and fury that would come from that place. I was there to wonder at God's Chosen People... yes, I say that with contempt, to this day I have little mercy or sorrow for those who called me 'child-killer'. Their chains were so obvious, and even after it was obvious those chains were leading them to their own deaths, they would not break them." "And then they finally broke them, and the Symphony shook with the sound." - -- The city of Warsaw was a city divided, a city under siege and a city occupied all at the same time. In the 1940s, celestial activity in what was considered the cultural capital of Eastern Europe was reserved, almost to the point of impotence. Neither angels nor demons had any great sway over the German occupiers, and only a modicum of position within the local police and other institutions. Roles had been shattered, many of the local celestials lie in trauma after the extended bombing and siege of the city, and every Tether had been gutted and destroyed by the blind carpet violence of the mortal armies or by the other side exploiting the opportunity during the chaos of war. When the Germans ordered all Poles of Jewish descent or religion into the walled ghetto in 1941, the angels were in no position to resist it. What angels that survived occupied themselves with lessening the suffering. Those few peace factioners who had the energy to continue on amongst the flames of war occupied themselves with helping the wounded, sick and starving. Gabrielites were encouraged to leave - for acting out their vengeance upon a German soldier or the corrupt and cruel police officers of the city only brought down death and destruction upon those mortals they were trying to avenge. And the war faction had mostly moved on to more "active" fronts. The suffering and starvation in the ghetto continued for a year. Corpses of those who died of starvation or sickness piled up in the streets, gathered every morning at 5 o'clock sharp by wagons "generously" supplied by the occupied government. And as the horror continued, the Judenrat, the government of the ghetto that served the Germans as a tool to control the Jewry, told everyone to be calm and to persevere as their people always had. Both sides were convinced the other had agents within it. They did not. Both sides were convinced of a grand plot by the other. There was not one. Lilith began to walk among them in 1942. After witnessing the Winter War of the Finns against the Soviets, a war which gave the name to the Molotov cocktail, she casually strolled down into this pit of tyranny and despair. She was of two minds, for she despised the patriarchal law-giving culture of these people, yet the oppression and tyranny weighed heavily against her Word. She thought as she walked among them, a beautiful creature amongst the dirt and grime. She became a minor myth, and the small children went to their mothers and fathers and said they had seen an lovely angel walk the streets of the ghetto last night. That amused her, but that was not the reason she stayed. She felt something deep within her. She felt a foreboding of things to come, and she wished to see the end of this measure within the Symphony. The Germans finally came in that year's warm summer. The "Angel of the Ghetto" watched as the powerful storm troopers rolled in with trucks and barbed wire, and collected the helpless. Three hundred thousand were taken from the ghetto. The Nazis took the weak and the sick. They took the old and the young. They took those who could not defend themselves and were of no use in the labor pools. Lilith watched as those trucks loaded trains, and those trains steamed loudly toward Treblinka, where she already felt the rhythmic pounding of a Tether forming. A scant sixty thousand were left to carry on their shattered lives. They had cowered in fear as their lovers, their children, their parents and their friends had been beaten and taken away. Their lives were stripped from them by faceless helmeted thugs, and they did nothing. The anger began to swell against the dam of fear, and the planning began. Resistance groups began swelling with numbers. Weapons began to be gathered and fortifications made. "Never again" became a motto here long before anywhere else. Lilith felt the anger and the fury. She felt it, and she waited. In January of 1943, the Jewish Fighting Organization successfully drove back a second invasion by the German army to gather a small group of new prisoners. Unexpecting troopers retreated as they were fired upon from windows and alleys by the urban guerillas. Lilith smiled as the oppressors ran from the oppressed, but expected little would come of it. The thrashing of a dying animal is what it seemed to be. The nineteenth day of that April proved her wrong. The Germans had decided to gather every last Jew from the Ghetto, and a full scale operation was begun. And the moment they entered, there was fighting. In the heart of the German-occupied territory, a scant thousand men armed themselves with smuggled weapons and fought the greatest military machine mankind had ever known. And they won. The Germans fled from sniper fire, booby-trapped basements and ceaseless gunfire. But they soon returned, and the fight was on. A thousand desperate men fought off ten times their number in trained soldiers for one month as the Nazis attempted to occupy the ghetto. The choice was finally made to systematically decimate the ghetto and all its buildings. The ghetto would never be retaken by the Germans, only its dead corpse. The Jews of Warsaw had not made the choice to fight on their feet or live on their knees. They had not even made the choice to die on their feet or live on their knees. They had made the choice to die fighting rather than die serving, and that is a powerful choice indeed. And Lilith smiled, as a sweet thundering sound of a Tether to Freedom appeared on that lonely April day. - -- Today, the Tether covers all of the former Warsaw Ghetto in downtown Warsaw. Its focus is on Leszno Street, where the first shot of the uprising was fired. Its current Seneschal, a Lilim by the name of Mordeka, claimed it after riding with the Soviets into Warsaw in 1944. She takes the form of a quiet young woman with sharp features and dark hair. She watches the Tether closely, walking the streets at all hours. Lilith is pleased with her new territory. It has lasted a considerable amount of time for one of her Tethers. Like the Winter War that came before it, it showed that passion and the will for freedom could overcome an industrial tyranny. The local demons know that Mordeka demands chimenage for using or abusing her tether grounds and thus avoid the area unless they have business with Mordeka or Lilith. Local angels, even those serving the most war-like Archangels, refuse to consider plans to assault the Tether - if only out of respect and the dream that it could be shifted to a divine word such as War or Stone. Mordeka is of two minds as she walks the streets, much like her mother once was. She has learned much about the human spirit from the story of her Tether and the words of survivors who have visited here from time to time. She has watched tyrants fall and freedom ring true - the kind of selfless true freedom that sings within pure hearts. Her dedication to her mother is fierce, but as she wonders at that which men will do not for their own freedom but for the freedom of others... a few bright specks begin shining in her soul. - --- Let me know what you think.

If you research the origin of giants, you will find that they are of a decidely demonic bent. Therefore, the object used to slay a giant should have some celestial properties. Am I correct? It would also be possible to use the slign from which the stone was thrown, but since it didn't make direct contact I lean towards the stone itself. I'm new to IN, so I don't know much about artifacts, relics, and whatnot yet.

Rephrase please. I think you man that Seraphim of Purgatory have a bonus to distinguish between a true confession and B.S.

(Like the Kyrios of Creation using the Celesial Song of Form) >* Slay an irredeemable spirit (1 pt for every 3 Forces, rounded off) Rounded off? Maybe it should be, "Slay an irredeemable spirit (1 pt for every 3 Forces, not necessarily all at once.)" Like Saminga's, "Kill 10 humans - not necessarily all at once."

I meant that they can make themselves invisible to celestial perception while in motion in Hell. > Also define "irredeemable spirit" more narrowly. I'm not sure it can be tied to a game mechanic. The obvious one is a spirit that has met its Fate, but I think that, technically, all demons are in that state. An irredeemable demon would fall apart if an Archangel attempted to make it over into an angel. An irredeemable human probably HAS met its Fate; the ones in Hell for purgation have actually met their Destinies.

He still will, in fact; however, now that he's an Archangel, he requires anyone who requests the attunement to accept his dissonance conditions as well. To some, this is a bad deal; the fact that many Traders will accept the deal anyway says something, though. An angel with Amazingly Bad Idea may, for the cost of 1 Essence, impress upon another the full legal (under local law) and moral (relative to not only the target but the locals) implications of the act whose performance is foremost in the subject's mind. The subject can proceed with the act if he wants to - but to do so requires a Will roll, at a penalty equal to the angel's Celestial Forces, unless the act had no legal or moral consequences, in which case he may act with impunity. ------------------------------ End of in_nomine-digest V1 #2665 ********************************
