Line 324:
However, it wasn't always like that: before the real estate purchases (the indirect source of conflict due to fears of ethnic favoritism) began, the ethnic communities stayed relatively neutral to each other, with foreigners living alongside the 3 groups making friends outside the turfs: Herakleitos, who is a caretaker in the Japanese main house, has many friends outside of the faction of his employers: Herakleitos was especially pleased with the Philhellenic Eun Jin Choi, who later on became a critical character when [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto]]'s mainly Greek factions made pushes towards their timeline. However, Kallisto's real push was on the fringe of the East Asian conflict, the Sunset Valley where unmotivated and incompetent families of the factions simply squander resources in partying or loafing around rather than grabbing assets and countering one another, much less shipping funds to their homefront in Hekatonschoinos. In Sunset Valley Kallisto deployed a clone offered by and created from Kallistrata named Arete Hekatonschoinika to establish the frontier and turn it into a recruiting neighborhood for Church operations back at Kallisto's timeline, conveniently connecting back to Kallisto's timeline by building the time machine.
===Resistance to the Church and Church countermeasures===
While Antigone and Achaia went underground to hide themselves from the imaginative (or better said no longer present) Church spy and steeling themselves for a Church offensive, another Swanson appeared on Appaloosa Plains, but not alone: Rachel, a cousin of Tessa and Nicole, was accompanied by her brother Louis and her boyfriend-to-be-husband Aneirin oi Lugos. Rachel and Aneirin was married on the whim in a sense, as they engaged and got married in just 3 days, while Aneirin wanted to establish himself as a crime lord, since he wanted to take down his rival Cocolitanos. Sooner or later, Rachel sent words to Tessa and Nicole about her marriage, getting Tessa and Nicole excited, as they also hoped to do the same thing. Little did they know that Kallisto tracked the message down, and decided to use Aneirin's ambition to set up a puppet force in Appaloosa Plains. This was to be helped by Aneirin's Vampirism, since the Church's tutoring ability made it very convenient for a Vampire to be positively aligned to the Church, as seen with the example of Thornton Wolff.[[File:RachelReading.png|thumb|Rachel Swanson, reading and unaware of the growing political storm about to be blown with her in the center.]]
Of course, deploying Kallistrata who was specialized in converting vampire was obviously going to draw some flak against the Church and defeat the very purpose of establishing a puppet/allied force in Appaloosa Plains: they would create another Kallistrata Clone Arete style and deploy her to Appaloosa Plains. However, the discussion was ill-disguised, since Tessa ended up sneaking and hearing about the plan, shocking her to no end. Tessa thus chose family over political faction, and thus made contacts with Antigone's Separatists. Kallisto believed Tessa to infiltrate the organization as a double agent, and did not bother tapping Tessa's transmission to the pro-Romance forces. Once that transmission got through, Antigone decided to invite Rachel in private, hoping to tell Rachel about her cousins, as well as the threat of the Church.
