The Cereal Box:Log/Session 13
Session 13
The motley photographed the newcomers and showed them their new digs. They discussed the monarchs with them and freaked them out about Roper and the monarch's usurpers. It turned out that Orlando (Do to his friends) had conspiracy theories about every single supernatural creature being real and secretly running the world (and aliens being humans from the future that traveled faster than light to earth, thus making a one-way trip back in time, and mummies being real, and a cabal of Vampires and Mages running the world from the shadows, and swamp creatures being real and breeding with people in New England, and the God of Abrahamic religions being a machine built by the Jews in the 6th millenium B.C. in an attempt to solidify what was previously several concurrent historical narratives into a single "true reality, and so on). Elissa explained that he was like this the whole way to Battle Creek and that she worked in logistics. Joshua was largely concerned with whether Spring was party time, and was pleased to hear it was (incidentally, he had a huge gaping scar on his chest from where he had been pinned through, and explained that he had ripped his wings off escaping.
The motley dreamed of the Red Eyed Woodsman:
Nikolai - Dreamt of fighting the Red Eyed woodsman in an "another time, another place" feel with a friendly air to it. Nikolai is a GENTRY'S GENTLEMAN, whatever that means.
Sephie - Had a memory dream of the fight with the Red-Eyed Woodsman. She knows in her heart that she has the JAILER'S KEY. She can free someone from bondage, real of metaphorical... for a price.
Hestia - Had a dream wherein she interrogated the woodsman, asking him several questions. (The Collector wants to reclaim what is his, and she's the one drawing him to the Cereal Box). THE BURNING QUESTION will give you the answer when you want it... but not all questions should be answered.
Alana - Dreamed about the experience of trying and failing to kill the Woodsman. (Dramatic Failure) Alana will know when the Woodsman is going to be in a scene but IT'S ALL FUTILE - she cannot truly defeat him.
Ernie - The huntsman tells him all the horrible things he's done - twisted the head off doves and eaten stray cats alive. He also says it was good of someone in the Freehold to open the door for him. He is interrupted by red and blue lights and a siren and suggests that Ernie sort of got off easy, but not really as he slinks into the night. Ernie is now a FUGITIVE.
April - Dreams of the woodsman pursuing her. Dreams that while she keeps hiding behind her friends, it was ultimately futile - that she was being pursued endlessly - that the woodsman was denigrating and desecrating her notebook. She burns the page of her notebook where she shipped the Woodsman and the Sheriff. She knows a SECRET she can't tell anyone just yet.
Monday, March 30th
They discussed their dreams and some of the ramifications, as well as whether to tell anyone. They realized that if Billy was the one who brought The Man With the Badge to the Cereal Box, someone must have likewise brought the Red Eyed Woodsman into the Cereal Box. They speculated regarding who might have done this and how.
Sephie expressed an interest in going to the gym to learn to fight. Nikolai and Ernie went to the Enchanted Attic, Nikolai for information on dreams, Ernie came for information on Vampires, knowing it will be of dubious value. Barb informed Nikolai that there was a man named Arthur Sullivan at the corner of Capital and Kingman who can "tell him more about the Wee Folk." Hestia walked by a construction site to provoke and spurn interest for glamour. Nikolai also rambled at the park about local urban legends to gain glamour. Nikolai fucked up and lost his ability to be spooky, but bought a pair of iron punchy things. Hestia did some research regarding her family, and discovered that her fetch and her fetch's husband had died some time ago. Alana vandalized cars. Nikolai researched dreams expanded his Wyrd and obtained a frailty: he cannot refuse food offered to him. Sephie volunteered at a soup kitchen and worked into the evening. Busy days all around. Evie went to Menard's and got some iron deck nails for her bat, then ran a couple of errands for Billy.
