Thursday at 3 PM, the motley goes to the meeting with Lyrissa. Hestia went to work. Regina has discovered that there are groups on the internet devoted to collecting postcards.

The motley showed up at Lyrissa's study, where she and Johnny Starlight were waiting for them. They explained the crunchatizer and she seemed hung up on the meeting grounds being stronger. She also singled out the point in the ghetto where the Equinox Road was opened. They explained that it was Stephen Sullivan, who Lyrissa explained was not a real person, but a name that was made up when an anonymous scapegoat was needed. She suggested that anyone who would say that has something to hide. Further, Lyrissa pointed out that the problem with the Cereal Box is that the entire concept is flawed. The fact that it DOES degrade is because it was never done correctly. Her plan to correct the flaw in the formula was twofold: first, the points of the cereal box should not be the static properties of any single court, but rotated between all of them widdershins, thus confounding the fae expectation of static power structures; second, the heart that powers it must be ALIVE. The motley mentioned that The Collector is their ideal candidate for "guy whose existence we use to power the Cereal Box," mentioning that he seems tied to about a third of the changelings in the freehold. Lyrissa mentioned that she knew this and it seemed odd, and the motley suggested it was kismet (although Lyrissa thinks it was something deliberate by Kingman and lamented that she didn't have the wherewithal to question him as he was gone).
