After a break due to the holidays, we finally returned to gaming. And, we are getting fucked. In both the good and bad sense. I know he will probably never read this but my hat goes off to Matt. The Dresden game he's running is turning out to be one hell of a ride. And, it just keeps getting better.
When we last left our intrepid heroes...well, I will just let you read the posts on that. Too much happened to go through it all again. So, we started the session the morning after all the violence and sex happened. Michelle awoke to unwanted house guests (gang members Tbone left there to guard her) but, since they made coffee for her, she didn't get too upset. She actually got some work done, which was good. She has been neglecting it shamefully. Sharee, unfortunately, didn't have such a good morning. She woke up to her mother having a fit about, not one but two, strange white men in her house. After breakfast and mollifying her mother, Sharee went to work. What happened with that, she would have been better off calling in sick. Once there, she found out that someone had thrown a brick through the front window. Since she works at a famous gay bar, no big surprise. Right? Wrong. When she touched the brick, she could feel a small bit of residual magic. Using this info, Sharee makes a deal with Adam, her boss and the Fey Lord who is causing her all sorts of problems. If it is a threat to him or his family and she takes care of it, he will wake up her grandmother and consider the debt paid. If it's not a threat to him, she gets a weeks paid vacation. Win win...yeah...right.
So, we cut back to Michelle. After getting work done, she calls Tbone and has him come over. Trying to help him, she tells him about thresholds: how they are made, how they work, and how to use them. She also wants to check out the gang for infiltrators. Ghuls are sneaky little fuckers and cloak themselves as humans. Know True Self is a great power. After that and before opening her shop, she goes to visit Davi in the hospital. While there, she uses her Know True Self and checks out the gang members guarding him. They are okay, except they have white silk cords around their necks. Which means they have been influenced, most probably by White Court Vampires. She calls Tbone and tells him to send replacements and to not let the influenced ones into the house.
Lest you think Jack is having a good morning, he heads home only to find that his door is open and his wards are gone. Not good. As he checks his apartment, a young man walks towards him, sees Jack, and starts to run away. Jack promptly gives chase. He isn't able to catch him but he does manage to get him to drop something. When Jack finds it, it turns out to be the dagger that holds the soul of his dead mentor. His dead mentor that he killed with magic. After that bit of joy, it cut back to Sharee, who was going to see Michelle.
At the shop, Michelle was working when Sharee came in and wanted a few items and a place to perform her ritual on the brick. Not a problem. While she was doing that in the back, a customer came in and wanted a few items. Seeing that he was White Court and noting that the items he wanted were for a curse, Michelle refused. She knew about Jack's job for Blue and knew who was the likely recipient of the curse. Not going to happen. After a bit of tense back and forth conversation, he left. Looking at the list again, Michelle saw that the items on there could also be some sort of booby trap. They were. Her backroom exploded into lightning, knocking Sharee unconscious and destroying the interior.
Stay tuned for part two of this exciting session...
