The Cereal Box:Log/Session 45

Session 45

Nikolai held a family meeting to explain what happened with Billy and Granny. They speculated regarding who had Dahlia. April pointed out that an individual who wants to be a Queen is a "pretender," and Nikolai accepted that he might have overlooked that.

Wednesday, May 26

Morning comes.

Sephie is going to play with the kittens (2 successes) and gardening (3 successes).

Hestia is going to her restaurant to figure out who was absent and rearrange the schedule accordingly. It turned out, Hestia's plan was to run the restaurant like a 1950's diner, primarily to focus on changelings as the target audience.

Ernie is going to work towards setting up his support network to try to make it work out. Ernie recruited Jacq Yam & Isaac Old; Regina working beneath Yamamoto. Jack helped him find and accountant that is willing to run dodgy sounding books. Wilson Monroe.

Alana and Nikolai train with Smith. They tell him about the Nazi / KGB drugs they're going to give him. The Man with the Badge comes in, accompanied by his (proverbially) weasel-faced cadet. After the Man With the Badge left, Nikolai went right into his spiel about the first clause of the Contract of Stone and trained him (conspicuously refusing the seriously injure him despite him admitting that he had never been so injured in his life). They speculated as to why the Man With the Badge would be interested and came to the conclusion that they could employ him as a weapon (!) because he doesn't count as a person. (The tiger was also suggested as such)

Late afternoon. They created a whole pageant for how to collect glamour by having Ernie crash his bike, Nikolai fake a heart condition as he tries to help, Sephie perform medical care, Alana steal the bike, April try to help (and fail) and Hestia tried to make people feel shitty, but it failed. Hestia then failed to kick a person's crutches out from under them, embarrassing herself and giving up on getting glamour.

Martin admitted that he was working for Arianna Lassar, which made Ernie worried, and he said he would talk with her. Martin was not aware that she was a changeling and disturbed by the revelation.

Ernie ordered a large number of hand-me-down tools on Ebay in hopes of getting April what she needs to build her crunch-o-meter.

Sephie had Cadence (Songbird) and Firestarter over to talk about ; they had Billy's Club.

The motley slept. Nikolai was awakened in the middle of the night by Granny, who informed him that the painting no longer existed and that Dahlia was free now. She also informed Nikolai that her clocks had struck midnight.

Subsequently, Jer called and informed Nikolai that he would be cashing in on his deal on Friday. After he asked if this had to do with the Chronophage, Jer deamanded that Nikolai exaplin what he knew to him. Nikolai sounded like he was going to try to weasel out of the contract as he told Nikolai the would be going to Arcadia together, and the Pumpkin King - who is known not to cuss - told him that he will "NOT fuck this up for me." Nikolai informed him that for his favor of up to half his Kingdom, the Pumpkin King must help him become King of Autumn. "Done" was the response.
