The Cereal Box:Log/Session 30

Session 30

April 24th

Once the motley realized that Mary was not home, they became desperate to contact her. Mary's phone went straight to voicemail, however. The motley speculated she might be killing Vampires. They tried to call Smith, but got a hold of Jack who explained that Smith had left on business for the weekend and that he was in charge. He said he needed to talk to Hestia about business that somehow involved her cooking.

After breakfast, Hestia and Jack made an agreement regarding her making him meals to take home (and ended up inviting him over and, after determining that all his friends were people he worked with, gave him a hug). Jack insisted his tears were caused by a condition he made up called "optobliga." In return for the agreement, Hestia was "blessed with the wealth she would need to rebuild the restaurant." Jack was overjoyed with the arrangement and explained that having a home-cooked meal every day would always give him something to look forward to. Hestia prepped several days' worth in advance to ensure she wouldn't miss a day.

Ernie did some work for Eric Rowe on the network he requested.

The motley went to Sephie's fetch's house, where they saw a black cat. They found no security or occupants, and the house was full of medical charts and books, with no evidence of anything for any sort of non-academic pleasure, nor any proof that the fetch had - or acknowledge having - children. They saw a picture of Arcadia in the seldom-used study that caused all who saw it to despair. The cat scratched Nikolai viciously, but the blood got cleaned up perfectly. While they were there, they stole some paperwork so they could look into the fetch's finances.

The motley had ice cream in BC when they went home to plan. They looked into Fetch Sephie's finances and determined that the home has been through 5 years of mortgage. They discussed the fact that they didn't see a litter box and, further, that they might help Sephie to go into her fetch's dreams if they don't just kill her.

Jack came over for dinner and it was vaguely awkward, but he was vary pleased and took home a doggy bag.

Sephia was able to make it into Cadence's dream. I0t was a vast library / auditorium full of books with Cadence studying in it and looking at pictures of her mother(s). When Sephie confronted her daughter, the women asked, "Is this some Corraline bullshit?" and Sephie sheepishly admitted that it was, in fact, some Corraline bullshit. As they had a heart to heart (with Sephie's familiar, the black cat - manifest as a great beast in the dream - looming over them) Other Mother appeared and viciously slashed Cadence's throat. They defeated her, but not before Cadence was seriously injured and the dream dissolved.
