Summer one tales: Scar and others
Setting: After event. Alex brings in a large square unique looking table to sit at with a laptop and starts to work. After a time he looks up. "It is ready." Music begins with the intro to "Highway to Hell." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l482T0yNkeo The music fades as images rise up from the table. Alex steps forward with a smile with a remote in hand. "Good evening all. I'm Alex Knight, Cliath of the Glasswalkers, Galliard. Duty of auspice calls for the sharing of information and actions of individuals to be noted among the Nation."
The Labyrinth
"Welcome to our first destination in the umbra. A land of reflection of post end of the world life after humanity. It is here we began our journey to seek out the Totem of Cockroach.
Individual Actions Alex walks over to Lilly to offer a hand to her to step forward to join him. "May I present Kinfolk Lilly, our Seer for the Mission who had a rather unique vision. It was her insight along with Chaplin which opened the door to beginning to understand the local spirit court. I can not in good justice able to convey what she saw not being gifted with the sight, if the Lady would be so kind to share her vision in the spirit of round robin story telling." He steps back giving the kinfolk a smile of encouragement watching her speak of her vision. " Well... I saw a chef standing behind a buffet. Patrons picked from the food. Most of it looked good, except for one dish. A bowl of grey slop, oatmeal like in viscosity, but with various sized lumps in it. A leathery furred rat, flattened and baked in the sun sat at the side of it and a venomous water snake swam in the muck. As people poured the slop on their plates it dribbled all over the table and onto the food that actually looked good. One patron even used the road kill rat like a chip and scooped up a big helping, half of which rained down upon the prime rib and the lovely hazelnut cake. Somebody else got bitten by the snake, and while two people in suits came to drag her away, nobody commented. The chef complained to the staff to get the dish off of their table, but instead the staff only refilled the emptying vessel. The chef's eyes met mine for a moment as I came up to the table of ruined food. "I'm sorry, this isn't what I wanted." They said as I prepared to walk away. Crazily enough, the now tainted food was alive and began to crawl towards my mouth! Somebody is holding you. All you see is the screen playing the advertisement. "It's the Slop! You don't know what's in it! Try all of your favorite flavors, like Grey, Gainesboro, Ash, Silver, Gunmetal, Platinum, Nickel, Stone. Mmmmmm Slop!" " Alex nods moving to take Seam's hand to bring him forward with Lilly. "Our wise spirit expert Elder Seam advised us this may be a connection to a spirit named Megameal as the chef scene as a warning of things will get out of their control if they accept the slop." Alex gestures for Ayalan to join Seam's side with a smile then nods to Croass. "Ayalan and Croass were our security team of keeping an eye both on the ground and sky to ensure we were not at risk during the scouting."
O'Tolley's "Here we watched mortals eat horrible food to excess and waste. We'll need to fix this place in order to settle the spirits in the area. What we managed to understand from the scouting and discussion/observation of spirits is the following.
Follow up Suggestions for the Sept to enact "We are going to have to address this carefully by making some changes perhaps to the menu to be a bit more health conscience in the form of organic ingredients and meat perhaps. Influence used to take a look at who is actually running the business to see how wyrm influenced they are?" Alex looks around to see if anyone has questions. "This concludes the tale. Thank you for joining us." |
