The Cereal Box:Log/Session 52
Session 52
Nikolai took Phlox home, more or less wordlessly.
Ernie explained to Regina why he felt that he coulld convince Billy not to do what he wanted, and Regina seemed to accept that.
Billy explained that they needed to help him select a new King, and eventually settled on Freddie (who arrived with Aaron and two guys in tow) and Billy quickly initiated a power exchange, giving
Phlox 'I'm sure you plucky little guys'll pull through just fine." "Don't be a stranger, be a customer!"
Nikolai owes Phlox a minor favor.
What now? Let's try to break the spell. Billy had finished with Lyrissa and fell into slumber, where he found Ivey and started to draw close to her. He talked to her like he was there with her, and the experience was more vivid.
The motley mostly returned home to have dinner, with Nikolai buying him Popov, Jack and (lol) Fireball.
"Jack will get you off!"
Friday, June 4th
Things on the schedule:
- Meeting with Songbird
- Spa day and mani-pedis with Tasha
- Jer and Tasha seeing The New Daughter
Ernie headed to Menard's to get a large amount of Roudup and souping up the backpacks (extended Craft).
Hestia picked up Tasha for a spa day. "We'll do them better the next time around... oh wait" "They blind you with vegetables, they cover you with mud and hot wax, and they step on you... and you pay them?" "Yes." "What is safe word?" Left the Cereal Box and went to Red Robin, despite how inadvisable that is, but ended up with delicious burgers and road rage issues.
Training Smith. Asked about why Freddie is in charge (convinced him everything was fine, thinking successfully).
Sephie was meeting with Firestarters and Songbird along with Nikolai and Ernie about the exchanges and debts they needed to square up. He traded the club for the sword and Nikolai gave him three bottles of liquor. Songbird asked her mother what was going on, and offered to help her in any way she could. Nikolai explained that he craved violence and, not knowing what to say, Firestarter said he was "a man after his own heart," unsteadily.
The motley planned to contact Chalkos.
Nikolai went to the Enchanted Attic. Purchased a large handmade dream catcher and a small pendant dream-catcher. The large one was made by an Oran Guadalupe-Twogoats "Thinks Like a Mountain." When asked, Nikolai said that "I have a church I attend." Barb mentioned a book club that met every other Tuesday. Barb recorded Nikolai's name in a book regarding to the book club. Barb threw in lavender incense.
Friday night, Roper sat in the walkway and read "Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman." "I am large, I contain multitudes." "He always gets this way when he eats a whole rack of ribs."
Tasha asked Hestia to be Victoria's godmother. Hestia accepted, Jer went inside infuriated.
Before going to bed, Nikolai hung the dream-catchers.
Saturday, June 5th
Nikolai contemplated creating an antimagic token. He believes it might be able to prevent magic from outside the Changeling realms, but hard to say. He decided to research.
Ernie, Alana and April were discussing the possibility of finding the specific locations for the new meeting grounds. The general consensus in the motley was that the casino would be best suited as the neutral grounds.
Ernie continued to take care of his support network. Through several shell companies, he created fly-by-night construction / refurbishing company that would employ changelings. With 3 successes, he was able to organize the actual workplaces and hierarchies.
The motley discussed how to convince Chalkos to help.
The motley was able to get Chalkos' email from Firestarter ([email protected]) and sent an email asking Chalkos for assistance in the matter of killing the Huntsman. Within 30 minutes, Chalkos responded asking for a number. On the phone, they could hear cars. They admitted to making a deal with the Huntsman, and convinced Chalkos to work with them. He agreed to do it before the fight, but admitted and insisted that he recognized this could be an ambush. He didn't want to fight in the Cereal Box or Hedge if he could avoid it. Chalkos stated that he had some farmland in Belleview that he could mow part of a cornfield for. Chalkos wanted to examine the token and that he would only agree to it if only one member of the Motley went. Nikolai agreed because Ernie couldn't drive. 10 o'clock tonight was the agreed upon meeting time.
Nikolai will be sent to the Meijer parking lot.
Hestia was still going to go on the date with her fiancee.
10:30 AM - Alana receives a call on her phone. Granny Lovett called to inquire regarding Billy's current sleep habits. She said a little bird had told her something. Lovett asked what Alana thought Smith's odds were against Chalkos. She explained that she had the long-term stability of the freehold weighing heavily on her. Navigation menu
