Chaos Declares War on Gwen; Corwin is Elected King of Chaos

Silver Lyra thanks Amaranth for calling the council, even if she did so on behalf of Shiryu.

Osric is in the Guild section of the table, as the Guilds are the advisers to the ruling council.

Ygg thinks that his roots are being cut off.

[Shiryu's getting ready to shake the etch-a-sketch]

Information is discussed. The Warriors' Guild is consulted, and Corwin fails to come up with a definitive plan. He suggests a defensible shadow for the fight, such as one of Bleys's, looking directly at Celeste. Celeste seems good with this idea.

Norton shares his info regarding the white statues.

People try to contact Clarissa, and fail. Celeste notices that there are massive blocks all over Thelbane, with Andron's signature on them.

Norton is making good progress towards being able to eject the green door from the back of Celeste's head.

A Jean tries to convince Clarissa to attend the council meeting. "You know the most important thing in the universe?"

"Yeah? ..."

"More important than that."

"Does it involve a member of my family?"

Jean asks Celeste. "Hey Celeste - does this involve a member of your family?"

"All of them."

The Jean near Clarissa continues, "All of them."

Clarissa agrees to enter; Jean pulls Clarissa through near to the council chambers. Jean tells Clarissa that Shiryu is saying that if the white statue person isn't stopped, he'll wipe everything and start over. Clarissa is indignant. "That little boy!"

Clarissa tries to walk into the room and bounces. She looks extremely surprised. Jean asks Shiryu if Clarissa can enter. Amaranth invites Clarissa, an Etiquette Guild member hands Clarissa a note, and Clarissa enters.

Clarissa sits down in the council chambers.

Norton trumps Clarissa from inside Celeste's head. He asks about acquiring more secure communications. Norton fidgets until Celeste lets him out. He contacts Clarissa, and tells her about the green doors in Celeste and Brand's heads, and that Snarsht fixed Felice.

Clarissa scolds Celeste out loud about whacking the blue crystal with a sledgehammer. The Morganti dagger is missing, Clarissa asks Verra about one of her worshipers called Morrolan.

Clarissa on Gwen:

Clarissa claims that Gwen is hers and Dworkin's. Dworkin denies all responsibility, and says that Clarissa claimed that she was infertile. Celeste bursts out with, "And you believed her?"

"Apparently Oberon recommended her to me, or me to her, or something like that."

Clarissa thinks that Gwen got completely out of hand after she liberated Dalkantyr from her. Dalkantyr was apparently Gwen's greatest creation. Mikail is mentioned as the thief.

Information: doesn't react well to Pattern. Osric's ray gun turns a native creature of his realm into statues through such a manner that they become fossils.

Discussion happens.

Norton proposes that the Council declare war on Gwen.

Silver Lyra turns to Marial, the Warlord. "We are a council of war. We request that you guide us in this time." The Warlord thanks Norton for suggesting her name and putting Chaos on a war footing.

Marial - "I regret that my first action must be to call for an election for a warlike king."
Norton - "So the floor is open for nominations?"
Marial - "Unfortunately, I will have to pick the new king."
Norton - "And who will the new king be?"

[I just dethroned Silver Lyra - my life is over.]

Marial looks around. "Andron, would you serve?"

Andron stands. "I am not certain that I am best suited for this ..." Andron nominates Jenoir. The Etiquette Guild goes into a frenzy.

Jenoir stands. "While it would be an honor to serve this council as king, I have only recently taken on an apprentice..." She says that she would have to make arrangements for alternate training for her apprentice, and ...

"My second nomination is the one who has so recently successfully led a campaign in Chaos, the Savior of Chaos."

Ilk thanks Marial for the nomination, but states his belief that one more skilled in the arts of warfare would be more appropriate.

"My third choice devolves to Corwin of Amber..."

Corwin stands, bows, "Such an august body nominating me, I feel that I would need certain sureties before accepting such a position. One is that as soon as this war is satisfactorily finished, I step down in favor of the current ruling King in Chaos, one is that the current ruler in Amber agrees to work with me on any solution we intend to come up with..." Celeste nods graciously. Corwin asks for tolerance if he goes against tradition through ignorance.

The Warlord says, "I believe that we have a king in Corwin. Do we have any objections?"

Pharaban stands and says, "Do we have any proof that the one indicated has the rule of Amber?"

Celeste nods graciously to the nightmare spider. "I do indeed have a writ from the previously acting regent", and pulls out the writ from Malachai.

"We accept and understand such. Are you willing to give full cooperation to our king in any endeavors that he proposes?"

"Yes."

"Pharaban is for Corwin, then."

Andron stands and defers to Corwin. Jenoir stands and defers to Corwin. Savior of Chaos rises and bows to Corwin as Realms-Lord to King of Chaos.

Jesby, after seeing that bow, stands and says, "We also vote for Corwin as king." She looks at Amaranth, who nods agreement. Silver Lyra announces that to be a majority.

Norton asks an Etiquette Guild member if there is a standard apology to a king one has just unseated. "Well, there is this tradition known as seppuku..."

Silver Lyra gets off the throne, hands the crown to Corwin, who climbs onto the throne and sits down.

He looks at his daughter, and looks at House Barimen. "My first order of business is to temporarily suspend the order of the previous court in wiping out the Poisoners' Guild, as they might be useful." Princess Chandra gets her back up, then settles back down again.

"My second order of business is to ask if the current apprentice of Princess Chandra would be willing to step into my shoes temporarily, as it is difficult to be both Guild second and king."

Cassandra checks with her Master, who says, "We agreed to it." Cassandra accepts, and a small stone dagger appears in front of her.

Corwin appoints Jean as head of information for "this little war".

"Savior of Chaos. Although we know that you have only recently risen to your seat, would you object to having Jean take your seat for the duration of the war?" Ilk grins and stands up. Jean accepts.

[I'm five, not stupid.]

Jean sends primal Jean over to the chair.

Celeste threatens Norton. Norton mentions the him in Brand. Celeste flips out.

Corwin turns to Celeste. "Being ruler in Amber currently, would you please summon all of our collective family? We will need them."

"Certainly."

Corwin tells Celeste that Flora could help, but that the request had to go through her.

Rainbow, Andron, Jenoir, and Princess Chandra bow to Corwin.

Corwin says that he will be setting up a throne room outside, but will consult with the Warlord briefly before being available.

The Etiquette Guild member hovering near Celeste apologizes for not seating her farther up the table.

Celeste tries to contact Brand, and hits a block.

Norton creates a beasty whose sole purpose in life is to find Silver Lyra and apologize her.

Celeste trumps Flora. Flora is up to her elbows in blood. "What are you doing?" "Augery. You can tell Corwin that it is favorable."

The Etiquette Guild tries to determine who speaks for the Warriors' Guild, and it is determined to not be Jean.

A Clarissa wants Celeste's attention. Celeste wants to break out Brand and help Norton find and reanimate Benedict. Celeste wants to talk to Dworkin about having the Pattern turned down so Ilk can help her get Benedict out of Amber.

Norton asks Snarsht about fixing the thin one of him. Snarsht mentions to Norton that Felice was extremely broken - she almost cracked the planet that she was on.

The Ilk that was until recently Savior of Chaos goes to ask Morrolan for the Morganti dagger that was embedded in Norton's eye.
