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.

===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.

Line 526:

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.

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 after delivering statements regarding his intention to overthrow the current summer king.

The motley arrived at the casino, where the majority made their way up to the hotel room designated for the meeting. They were ambushed by a group of Mages on their way up who nearly made off with their goods before another group of mages jumped in and counter-attacked. They first group fled in its entirety, and 2/3 of the other group fled, with one of them being rendered unconscious through combat. As one of the mages jumped out the window and managed to land safely on the ground, she turned to Sephie and called her "mom?" inquisitively before running.

The goods were delivered to Trio Monte, who handed over Billy's Tokens. The motley then left by way of the Hedge. They traveled near a construction site full of goblins and changelings who were working to reshape the Hedge to prevent the Fae from being able to attack anyone in or around the local Hedge.

===April 7th===

The goods were delivered to Billy, who expressed dismay that an item was missing from the set - the set had a pair of heart-shaped cufflinks, a gardening trowel, and a pack of cards with a diamond pattern on the back were in the box, but a blackjack he was expecting to be in there was missing.

The Following Week

Sephie sought out a mage to help her locate her daughter. She spoke with the King of Autumn who, directed her to an associate of his - a friendly mage named Moria, who agreed to pass a message on to Sephie's daughter, Songbird.

==Session 25==

===April 18th, 2010, Saturday===

Tried to contact fetchlana. Alana's phone rings in bag. She throws the phone in the bag.

Sephie is contacting Billy about finding a mage.

Eevie approaches Alana about Fetchlana, Alana explains that she has super been avoiding her.

Dahlia told her that she could work as a changeling doctor for the Freehold, but that she should deal with her Fetch and join the Spring Court.

April explained that magic is just made up as we go along and that there must be a "crunch factor" measured in "crunch berries" and "impending sogginess"

Hestia is approaching Wendell Baker.

Ernie wants to find a way to help Fetchlana... but he can't.

April and Nokolai presented their plan to Billy, who agreed to it and also agreed to let him borrow his iron shackles in return for a favor, and said he would leave the fuzzy bits on. He also agreed that Nikolai could ask the Spring enforcer for her assistance, but made not promises there.

Call from a restricted number. Her daughter told her that she had "done enough already", "stop " and "yeah, you haven't done anything. EXACTLY."

==Session 26==

===April 19th, 2010, Monday===

Ernie created a picture of his changeling family which he made to include his sister in the mirror in the background of the picture. When he completed the picture, she was there with an odd smile looking very mischievous. Ernie reverently cared for the piece of hard candy given him by his grandfather, which he believed might be useful toward bringing his sister home.

Nikolai went off on his own and found a pond at the edge of the cereal box. He used this to open a gate and call his "grandmother," the Baba Yaga. She arrived flying in her mortar and pestle and urged Nikolai to return to Arcadia with her for a visit. Nikolai complied and joined her at her cottage where he asked her if he could borrow something of value from her. He did not know how long he stayed in Arcadia, though surely it felt like many days, and he came back - that evening in the mortal realm - shorter on Clarity, but carrying a fae token with him from Arcadia

Eevie ensorcelled Sara, who was relieved by the revelation that she was magical, and not just distant or on drugs. Sara's newfound fae vision allowed her to see that the Floral Lawns, which Eevie had chosen as the place to perform the feat, had fae magic all over it.

~~Scares into~~ the ~~elevator~~

The changeling's home address was determined to be 335 East Emmett Street, as this served the story purposes well.
