Chenin Well, actually the original French version was far more, well profane, than SJgames' version.

I don't see Vapula wanting anything to do with the education of humans (which is basically what most zoos attempt to accomplish, show the childern what wild animals and their habitats look like.) But while I don't think the Jordi likes zoos, I don't doubt there is a servitor of his as a zookeeper somewhere. - -- Jeff Heinen jeffh@spiretech.com ICQ: 12029912 ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 1999 23:19:18 +0000 From: Julian Breen Subject: IN> Hearts How much information can be determined about a celestial by touching it's Heart?

Just a picture of the celestial, normally (or the scene through his eyes, perhaps...); a Superior could probably get more data, and certain Songs, resonances, and attunements could probably work through a Heart. >Is any kind of roll needed to activate such abilities, especially for >anybody less than the actual Superior that crafted the Heart? Apparently not. Except, mind, that if it requires touch (I think; I'm not looking at the book at the instant) -- demon Hearts can't be touched by other demons.

Yeah, I'd agree IN, also isn't about balck and white. But out of interest what did you mean by: "WoD *needs* angels, because *someone* has to be on squarely on the good side!" I'm possibly misunderstanding you. If you and other people use grey-area-ed it becomes a word by default, but at the moment I say that the answer to that question is kinda grey-area-ed.
