The Cereal Box:Log/Session 5
Session 5 "'Death' Of An Old Goat"
Eevie drove Sarah home and didn't come back, but told the rest of her motley that everything would be fine for a couple of days. They put up some of Ernie's drawings and one of April's (at Alana's urging) and tidied up the place. Eric Rowe called Nikolai to offer him some work taking a package from the Meijer to the Casino. After some hemming and hawing - and the implication the Rowe didn't feel he had other options for the job - he agreed to do so for him, but then some concern was raised over this being outside the Cereal Box.
Friendly cab company. They took a trip to the Casino. They dropped off the package to Paulie without seeing into the room. The casino has a strong draw, and they regained Glamour just for being in there, although Alana would have played in the casino (as if in a trance) but realized that she had no money. On their way out, a pure white cat watched them get in the cab. As they drove back into the Cereal Box, they were pursued just off the road by a dark man on a black horse of smoke, flanked by fae hounds (who appeared to be just a dude with dogs when viewed through mortal eyes) who instantly gave up the chase as they crossed the threshold of the Cereal Box.
The music was too loud next door. There was an argument and then it was turned down.

Hestia and Alana and Nikolai and Sephie work. Ernie is going to make some friends. April is the big sister.
Their neighbor from across the street, Carl Crowley, complained that the neighbors music was too loud and that it should only be two days a week. He asked them about their housing situation and suggested they look into getting it upgraded when possible, kind of implying that a squeaky wheel will get the grease.

At 4 in the morning, they hear a scraping at the door. Alana snuck around and found Eevie, dressed in rags and looking like shit, at the door with about an eighth of an inch of snow dusting her. She looked incredibly sick and was scraping at the door with a Badge made out of what looked like wood (and turned out to be horn). Alana dragged her inside, fearing for the worst. Eevie suddenly transformed into Billy Goat and activated an aura of command, prevent himself from being attacked. Near incoherent, Billy explained that he was trying to help them, that he had given a changeling - Caleb Martinet - to the Huntsman in return for the badge, which he said would prevent the Huntsman from taking them if presented to him. "I'm not going to use it," Billy said, "When the Huntsman comes for me, I'm not going to resist. Promise you won't stop him." Hestia pledged to "do what she felt was best" in regards to Billy, which Billy bound into a Pledge. Billy was placed in Hestia's bed. Billy pisses the bed and Hestia notices a lot of blood in his urine. Sephie discovers that Billy is on the verge of death and rotting away from the inside and so performs major surgery on him to save his life.
