Well when I started looking through your page, I was kind of surpised that somone of your skill watched me.  Its not often that happens.

Wasn't sure you'd enjoy it, very glad to hear you did.

I've been umming and ahhing for a while now over whether or not it would be worth adding an appendix covering some of the mechanical bits (like the Queen Bound by Hatred Untrammelled's shield repelling Sonic's attack effortlessly) but in the end, I'm thinking it's not needed... It didn't seem to be needed for you to enjoy the stories, after all. Anyone who knows about Exalted can probably pick up as much of the mechanics as they need to satisfy themselves, and anyone who doesn't know about Exalted, apparently doesn't need it. (Also glad I managed to nail this goal) Still, I'm pondering adding it anyway, as a "Hey, you don't need this, but maybe you're bored/curious enough to want to know anyway."

All things considered, Bunnie's ending in Abyssal Sally's story is better than the ending for anyone else - her pain ends quickly, while that of everyone else... will probably linger...

The part I like about Sonya's appearance and disappearance in Infernal Sally's story, but that I couldn't figure out a way to show, is that at this point, Sonya's mistreatment of Sally is irrelevant to her. Adorjan, Sally's new patron, truly believes that to be without ties is to be free, and to be tied emotionally to anything is to invite agony - usually (in what passes for Adorjan's mind) by betrayal, but not always. To be free of ties, the freedom to run endlessly, without cares... that is Adorjan's idea of happiness. A happiness she will cheerfully show to anyone who attracts her fleeting affections. It's often said that Adorjan's love is infinitely more dangerous than her hate, because her love usually involves setting you "free". Sally, in her own emotional break, leapt at this philosophy wholeheartedly. Adorjan's Charmset includes a Charm called Freedom Lets Go, which lets her abandon emotional ties at will. It's the sort of Charm that lets a devoted husband just stop loving his wife, or the mother to stop loving her child, and it's one of the Charms that Sally leapt at - figuratively speaking of course, there's no leaping inside a Chrysalis Grotesque - to abandon her own painful feelings. By the time Sally gets back to her, she truly has no ill will towards Sonya at all - she's abandoned that Intimacy. But she kills Sonya anyway because Sonya's tying Sonic down, and setting Sonic free is now what motivates her. (Abyssal Sally would approve too, but for different reasons)

(I think it also says something that the very next Charm in Adorjan's Charmset after Freedom Lets Go is Tragic Love Amusement - which lets her adopt an Intimacy of sincere love towards someone else, whether platonic or amorous. Let me reiterate; first you have the Charm that lets you abandon feelings, and then immediately after that you have the Charm that makes you fall in love - like turning on a water tap, or flipping a light switch.)
