Vivicide - A Prelude

Changeling: The Dreaming

Eleanor Savell: Nassim, a Seelie Eshu Childling
Nat Adcock: Dave [unsure], a Seelie Pookah Wilder
Clay von Carlowitz: [unsure], an Unseelie Redcap Grump

- Having just freed Bob - a chimerical octopus - from his recent enjambment and bidding him farewell, Nassim and her friend decided to go to their special holding on Priory Road to rest and regain their glamour. On the way, they met the General - an Unseelie Redcap - who was headed in the same direction, and got in a bit of a race to get there. Their holding was small and run by a generous Eshu named George, but even considering his generosity, it could only rejuvinate one kithain at a time. They got on the wrong side of the law at one point, and the officer turned out to be horribly banal, so they all sped to the freehold. Sadly, it's never a good idea to race an Eshu, and Nassim arrived first.

- At the freehold, George accomodated who he could, when suddenly he was struck by a sudden deep magic that no one could discern. Wounds flamed across his face and he fell straight into the glamour-fire, and some chimerical helpers quickly set up a circle of rocks around him, protecting him. The wounds would close up and re-open almost on whims. The kith there figured out that they had to keep providing George with glamour until this magic passed, or else the freehold would dry up healing his wounds.

- Nassim and her pookah fried [whose name I can't remember for sure] went out to try to inspire adventure in a child to create enough glamour for George. They found in the paper that a bomb had just gone off on the island of Antigua, and theorized that maybe that was George's home. Nassim, as a fellow Eshu, seemed to remember something about a magic like this existing just for the Eshu. To get the glamour, originally, they were going to see if they could get some dross from the Court of Exeter, which was held in the Phoenix Art Gallery, but they couldn't get in (although Nassim had a lovely conversation with the actual phoenix, who was an enchanted Inanime guardian). They found a young boy, named Joe, outside though. He wanted to be a pirate, and so the pookah challenged him to prove he was a real pirate, and if he could, then he would be Joe's first mate. Joe agreed, and the Dreaming witnessed the oath.
--- At this point, Elle and Nat started on their own adventure, called "The Boy Pirate," about exactly how far they had to go to inspire Joe.

- Disgruntled, the General left for Wagamama's, where he met an aspiring dramatist named Ken. Quickly, the two became good friends, and the General took Ken to the freehold, where he broke his mind with psychological torture while Nassim and the pookah [whose name I can't remember] were away. Near insanity, the General convinced Ken to smash George's head in with a rock. And Ken did. The General looked on with good intentions.
--- At this point, Clay started on his own adventure, called "Coup de Grace," chronicling his character's ascent to power and claim of the Priory Road Freehold.

Some intereseting prospects:
-The oath that Nat's character swore to Joe.
-The possible legal action that can be brought against Clay's character.

Fun moments for me as an ST:
-Roleplaying the Phoenix.
