The Cereal Box:Log/Session 19

Session 19

Eevie stole booze and cheezy decorations for the party, and as well as artichoke dip and a tray of brownies. Hestia prepared a meal for looks rather than flavor. Ernie hung out with neighborhood kids to harvest glamour from their joy. Sephie cleaned the house and went to the gym. Nikolai got preemptively drunk, but did ok.

The invitees were: Jack Strong, who arrived 15 minutes early (this time in the same jacket and pants, with a white shirt and a stain on the tie). Freddie and Aaron and 10 . Freddie is wearing a tie-dyed shirt, sandals and jeans. Aaron is in a pair of cargo pants and a tie-dyed shirt. Roper Red arrives next, in a nice suit jacket with a turtleneck. Billy Goat Keller, Lydia Kidder, Helen.

Lyrissa arrives at the door being impolite, saying that they should have invited her directly instead of speaking with Johnny Starlight.

Roper told his story, and invited others to tell theirs. Nikolai told his. Lyrissa was invited to tell a story, but condescendingly told a story about how there were four monarchs and 3 of them used their powers to serve their petty goals, but one of them worked to make things truly a better place. Roper mocked her saying it wasn't REALLY a story because it had no moral and no purpose. Strong suggested that it clearly wasn't really a story about her either. Billy became agitated and insisted that Lyrissa needed to dance if she was going to come to the party. "So DANCE!" Lyrissa whispered something in his ear and then said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "We're the same, you and I." Whatever was said was enough to silence Billy, and Roper triumphantly declared that Billy had a secret, and that was DELICIOUS.

At the sleepy couch phase of the party, the guests discussed theories regarding the Cereal Box, discussing the nature of the Cereal Box. They explained how it works, and what would happen under a few hypothetical situations. It was explained, for example, that if a changeling were to make an oath on their Keeper's name and break it in the Cereal Box, which would normally alert the Keeper to their location, it would instead leave the Fae with the understanding that their quarry was somewhere that wasn't.

April 5th

Nikolai, Evie and Ernie rented a car and prepared for their trip to Elsewhere, OK. A small brown package was on Granny Lovett's porch containing a cookie jar with instructions stating that it was a "tempest teapot" into which storms could be placed. They started their road trip, traveling through OH, KY and TN, ending somewhere between Memphis and Jackson. They stopped at a truck stop to get something to eat, to discover a storm, which they determined to be supernatural, is rolling in. A man approached them at the door on their way out and said, "Howdy, folks. Can you give me a ride? I'm in a bit of pickle, heading West to the Ozarks. I got gas money."

"The name is Joe, but folks call me Sandusky."
