NEFX - Rikalocannet.txt ? In the meantime, the tunnel vertigo coming from these and the slog of attending gatherings for the promotions and material support of this or that cause as may involve or concern them (albeit indirectly), preparation for the logistics of the next covenant, maintenance of contact with all other interested parties, and the meeting of travel and logistics for such ends — all of these contribute to a largely schizoid-disconnected perspective and temperament hidden uncannily behind the well-trained veneer of public charisma, transforming even the most potentially well-meaning entryists into these halls of officiality into swallowing husks bound only to the perfection of the appearance they are conditioneed to maintain that bears link to their prior persona. ? The key agent here cannot, by both weight of immediate circumstance and the beast within now fed beyond control, end anymore than they can bear to continue, and these activities occupy their every day. ? They thus grow ever more industrious and desperate in their attending to their public face and the spinning of all that they presently know, scheme, and experience constantly into fodder for their continued acceptance and promotion (be these also out of necessity and desperation on part of their subjects the masses) at least nominally by those masses (when it is really of the aforementioned other vying parties behind the scenes). ? These obligations, combined with the managing of underlings and operations within the specific sub-branch’s halls, create in the participant a deeply contained resentful exhaustion combined with an insatiable vengeance upon the obstacles to their own schemes. ? They may even expand beyond the halls of their own branch to the many other parties vying for structural power according to their own means, their rank within the official system, and their schemes, who may forcefully leverage the means they've accrued to gain favor over their peers — possibly aiming eventually for a position in the sub-branch in question. ? In the meantime the sub-covenants grow into the selection of yet others to join the broader covenant or sub-branch in the territoriaist faction's official system to devise strategies for ruling over the domain. ? To this latter end they may also grant their occasional token concessions to the system's subjects outside of said halls through general trained civility, providence, and official work that helps legitimize in the public eyes the mere existence of said system (especially as it officially rules that these concessions take place, giving it a hollow stamp of benevolence). ? In any case, each of these individuals vies in covens for the leverage of their will and provides official input accordingly on whatever may come to pass beyond the halls and unto the populace they are given nominal reign over. ? They may likewise meet with each other on a widely varied basis, and though each may scheme in varying ways for their own power they may (by their own internal logic of provisional necessity) increasingly interact more restrictedly with some of their peers within said halls as would be most conducive to their success, however much said confided-in peers have the same intention for them and however much each may lie to the other about a truly good-willed cooperative nature underlying the transaction (possibly even earnestly entertained to maintain relative mental stability within the vortex of deeply embedded Blightgeistian operations)(. ? In addition to the sub-covenants formed for various often ad-hoc or self-serving purposes put forth as for a phantasmic public good, there may too be varying attendances of each of these sub-covenants by the key agents within the halls of officiality, with nary an identical schedule or agenda among each of them (be it only due to the tides of circumstance and logistics bearing upon all both as corporeal mortal beings and as divergently disposed beings). ? This established, we must question what these covens may be for, and the reasoning for their reasoning. ? By such principles we can better grasp the way and extent to which the key agents of the Blightgeist are ever operating, ever meeting, ever secretly dueling for a higher chair of illegitimate power as much against each other as against their subjects often hollowly benevolently painted as the true rulers. ? Still others of these sub-branches of the official system may be gathering for deliberation on a more constant basis and thus more easily trackable despite what may well be their more decidedly secret nature (with exception possibly made for schemes of maintaining or attaining to official seats already held or coveted). ? Accordingly this may be in a set location for the times in which they gather in their covens of sorts, where they are otherwise (at least supposedly) amidst the faction’s spatial areas to which they may be assigned to depending on the system in place. ? It may in fact be that these individuals convene regularly under the sight of the masses which they perpend to serve (be it in often pseudo-paternalistic fashion), and according to a rigid schedule that, if tracked, could allow the studier to peer deeper into their plans both as they happen and in their broad scope. ? Yet even in the vast speculations of these just in concept and in their structural configuration we do not quite arrive at the nature of the duties of the individuals involved. ? In the many tentatcles of a territorialist faction (which is to say the sub-tentacles of the Blightgeist ultimately) we see before us branches both of overt secrecy and covert secrecy in supposedly objectively aligned “balance”.
