Back at their home, Alana received a call from Nikolai, who tried to explain the unique situation with her fetch.

==Session 23==

===April 5th===

Alana and Fetchlana had breakfast without actually meeting each other, with April running back and forth between them to make sure they got fed. Hestia called Billy for advice on her portal, and he explained he had a task for them tomorrow night involving delivering Tokens to a changeling from the courts of Windsor in return for both the goodwill of that semi-neighboring Freehold and tokens of their own. In return for her promising him a kiss, Billy gave her advice on closing the portal, most of which amounted to "it would probably help to know who owned the place beforehand, since they almost certainly opened the portal."

The motley worked to close the portal at Hestia's restaurant. Dai Yujin owned Cantonese Moon - may have been hands off because he was using it as a Triad laundering scheme. Wendell Baker was a manager of the location. Hestia asked two BURNING QUESTIONS: how can we close the portal? and why was the portal open continuously? The answer to the first was that they needed to counter the emotional resonance of the open portal by creating a mundane way of closing it and fueling that with emotion. The answer to the second was that the protection of the Cereal Box was bleeding into the Hedge while the portal was open, so continually opening a portal would make that Hollow within the hedge a haven against the True Fae, but doing this blurred the lines between the Hedge and the real world.

The motley closed the portal by building a door which they tried to close with first anger (which failed) then disappointment (which succeeded).

==Session 24==

Eevie went to visit Sarah to talk with her about everything. Sarah promised that she would cover for Eevie as long as she needed.

Nikolai looked into the Playing Card Courts, discovering that each corresponded to an emotion, like with the Seasonal Courts, and that the distinctions in attitude between them was based on two aspects of games: information and chance, with each being either a Court of Truth or a Court of Secrets, a Court of Determinism or a Court of Chance.

Hearts - Random / Open - Opulence

Spades - Random / Secret - Paranoia

Clubs - Deterministic / Secret - Disgust

Diamonds - Deterministic / Open - Smugness

Ernie put effort into finding a job for Fetchlana. The MMA arena in Battle Creek was suggested, and a Lawrence Walker who owns the strip club Hots is looking for a new bouncer.

Sephie used the JAILER'S KEY to free Mary Kingman from her bondage to the Vampires. The key broke in the process, the PRICE was paid, and Sephie heard sirens in the distance. She recommended that Mary Kingman find a job.

===April 6th===

Nikolai dressed in a suit made out of shifting autumn leaves, while Ernie acquired a hoodie that looks to be made of blue spruce needles dusted with snow.

Fetchlana went to interview and Eevie left with her cousin for her own reasons.

The motley met with Billy to pick up the trunk full of tokens, which was so powerful that it trembled and smelled of sulfur. Ernie took the key to the trunk. The trunk was heavy enough that it was a two man lift, but could probably be hoisted by one.

On their way, they were ambushed by a changeling who called himself General Chalkos, who insisted he would be the Summer King when he deposed Kingman. He and his crew, which consisted of a camel-faced Broadback, an ensorcelled mortal, and at least one other person in his armored Humvee returned a badly beaten Jack Strong to the motley.
