The Cereal Box:Log/Session 24

Session 24 - Family Reunions

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.

Hearts - Random / Open - Opulence

Spades - Random / Secret - Paranoia

Clubs - Deterministic / Secret - Disgust

Diamonds - Deterministic / Open - Smugness

Ernie put effort into finding a job for Fetchlana. The MMA arena in Battle Creek was suggested, and a Lawrence Walker who owns the strip club Hots is looking for a new bouncer.

Sephie used the JAILER'S KEY to free Mary Kingman from her bondage to the Vampires. The key broke in the process, the PRICE was paid, and Sephie heard sirens in the distance. She recommended that Mary Kingman find a job.

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.

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 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.
