Sure. It might be good to wait a bit until the rest is going there too, to avoid messing up the time-lines too much.

KanMien walked into the senate building, and walked up to the arguing acolyte. "I'll be taking over here," they said softly, "please go back to the others, and tell them to start preparing to leave. I've got a feeling not everyone wants us to be here." They threw a quick glare in Althea's direction, and walked up to the center of the room. They looked at Wes and sighed. "Can we get back on topic again?" They asked. "While talking about past ghostblood issues might help regarding context, it isn't extremely important right now." They paused. "What is important, however, is finding out who is guilty of what has happened here. Arguing about how 'virtuous' the ghostbloods are isn't going to make us much progress. So I'd like to ask the Ghostblood's representative to present their evidence for why they didn't do this, instead of just insisting that they would never do this." "Especially," they continued, "since at the moment the only theory where they aren't at fault relies on the existence of a completely unknown third party that has somehow gotten resources on par with a Great Guild as well as recruit an army while remaining completely undetected, while the only evidence for this theory is a supposed recording that has zero context and no information on how it was obtained or who's in it, and would never be accepted in any proper court of law because of how likely it is that it's fake."
-
The acolyte looked at Kestrel. "While that is technically true," they answered, "it would still require said individual or organization to have resources on the same level as a Great Guild, and I somehow doubt that we would all have missed both the arrival of such an individual or group as well as the mass recruitment of soldiers." They smiled. "Besides, if you think the council wouldn't approve an attack like this I'd suggest you start studying history. The ghostbloods have never had a good track record regarding peaceful behaviour, starting with their founder unleashing the most devastating war in this universe's history."
-
The acolyte looked at Kestraal. "One second please," they said. They looked at Keleth. "You said you've got a recording," they started in an acidic tone, "and that you don't know who's on it. How does something like that happen. I mean, someone must have given this to you, since if you had information on this before the attack happened you would surely have send it to the Church, right? So, someone gave this to you since the attack happened, but you didn't trace down who gave it to you? I mean, surely something like that would be important, because otherwise it could have just been the ghostbloods who faked it and then gave it to you. Also, you didn't ask them about the people in the recording? I mean, they made it, surely they would have tried to find out who would be the ones they recorded. Besides, it shouldn't be difficult to find out, since only a Great Guild has the resources for an attack like this."

Looks good.

@Turtle373, do you want to continue Chadwick's and Lilia's conversation, or just fast-travel to the census bureau?
-
The acolyte spoke up again: "In that case, can you tell us as to how the Jackal managed to get access to an army on the same level as that of a Great Guild?"
-
One of the acolytes spoke up: "Also, if this was just a single rogue faction, than how large is their main army when a small section of it can do this amount of damage? It seems to indicate the ghostbloods are not intending to act in good fate with the rest of the guilds. It might be possible they've build up their armies to attack the other guilds, and the only reason that this one went rogue was because their commander jumped the gun."
-
Lilia stood up, and brushed off her knees. "Sounds good," she said. "I guess we'll just have to follow this crowd?"
-
Lilia smiled, wiping her face with her arm. "lilia Blumenkind," she answered. "What is yours?"
-
If you want potions, we've got plants altered by Natural magic that'll do the trick for you, no Ritual magic required.

That would be interesting. It would probably be really difficult to do, and might cost a lot of energy, but it will possibly cause energy to start pooling somewhere and causing weird activities. Of course, it would also mean other places 'down river' from the ley line would now be deprived of at least some of it's investure, which could have interesting consequences on the local ecosystem in said location. Also, I really wouldn't want to be within a hundred miles of such a disturbance or anywhere down-stream because of what might happen once the amount of investure grows too large, since my guesses are that the barrier either breaks and all the energy just rushes out, or the whole thing just blows up, basically having reality and physics go nope for a while until the thing has lost most of it's investure again (which would be even more annoying if this doesn't fix the block, since it'll just become cyclical). Edit: As for what I mean with reality going nope, basically just picture every style of modern, abstract and postmodern form of art thrown into a blender and then poured out onto said region. That would give a good description of what the region is like during an Investure cascade like this.
-
Makes sense. My guess would be that it happens in places lots of big ley lines cross, creating large amounts of investure that makes natural magic happen more easily in that location, and making local spirits/beasts/humans affected by Natural magic stronger. Personal opinion, taking aspects is the standard way, but modifying existing spiritwebs is possible too, just so dangerous and difficult no sane person would ever do it, and those that do probably won't succeed.

Lilia turned around, hearing someone talk to them only to find the speaker to be a massive dog. Immediately smiling, she knelt down and started petting him. "You asked about the census?" She asked. Looking up to the sky she thought a bit. "Well," she continued, "I think it's something about them wanting all people who can use magic as well as all beings affected by it to come here and tell people about themselves? Apparently we get money for it too, though I'm not sure why I really need it. Maybe for buying crystals?" She smiled, and resumed ruffling through Chadwick's hair.

How can you have pockets of belief lying around?
