Alex steps forward with a smile with a remote in hand. "Good evening all. Thank you for joining us tonight. Those gathered on the stage with me it is an my honor to tell and well entertain you with their tale of knowledge and cunning with a task given to us by 23 Stab Wounds. Let us begin.
Mission Hill: Alex points the remote as an image screen rises up to show a very busy street area filled with restaurants, strip stores, big box retailers and hotels. "Welcome to Mission Hill, the very seat of Capitalism and yet tucked away some of the worst housing conditions on the island. It is here we started our scouting mission to speak with the spirits of the area to understand their court here and to perhaps influence them not to join e1337. We decided to split up to cover the various skill sets each of us brought to the mission finding pieces of the greater puzzle of what was occurring here to inform the Sept.
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."
Alex walks over to Chaplin to gesture for him to follow bringing him front and center of the group. "To those of the Sept who are Theurges or experts in spirits I have for you a future student who has shown great skill in dealing with the spirits during this mission. Chaplin's ability to perceive, understand spirits and relay to the rest of the team what was taking place helped us to understand actions the Sept will need to consider so we do not lose this area to e1337. What he discovered is a food spirit is wyrm tainted called Exxtra Cheese, gaffling, and weaver. Elder Seam suggested we follow it and thus we found ourselves at Dairy Queen facing a new Spirit." Alex raises the remote to point at the screen as a photo shop image to reflect the spirit shows up. "This is Mega Meal." A massive spirit sitting atop the Dairy Queen. A humanoid in cowboy boots, yellow pants, a blue and red checkered apron, and on it's head is a golden crown with a conical insert. The spirit ha a clown nose, a huge white mustache and goatee, bell shaped earrings, and long red braided pigtails. "Around the area was a massive cleansing circle the spirits were crossing in and out of. What decided to follow the spirits and found a place called O'Tolley's which was horrible by health standards.
"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.
2.) O'Tolley's has been this way for a while. e1337 offered to make improvements, but those improvements were not improvements in Mega Meal's opinion and it stayed as is. 3.) Helping Mega Meal here could mean that other spirits that have tenuous loyalties to e1337 will have faith in the Sept. 4.) And this is the most important takeaway, If the Sept is caught taking direct action and Mega Meal does not act to stop them, then their court will suffer and thus attacks need to be through Allies, Influence, and the like. 5.) Somebody was helping before, but they said that the owners of O'Tolley's had too much influence for them to handle alone.
Spirits of note: Spirit Name: Exxtra Cheese Type: Food Spirit Rank: Gaffling Affinity: Weaver
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." |
