[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8242783, member: 7030144"] Session 38 (July 1, 2008) 27 O-Kas To-do list: Scheduled meeting with Lord Mark of Furrows Figure out where the gate is from Talk to the kids, find out where they’re from, etc. [I think a bunch of refugee children gated in?] Contact their families (delegated to Mommy Cupcakes) At some unspecified time in the future, Alistair needs to meet with the Patriarch Check out throne Acting Field Commander Dame Christine of the Wooden Thicket Sir Derek has reported that the relief of Caldra is completed Two prominent heroes of the campaign: 1. Sir Devin who led the irregulars; he was deeply injured with a serious neurotoxin in the final assault. A nobleman who fortified his village and resisted heavily; either Elmswood or Tallgrass; vassal of Caldra We talk about honors. Maybe Elmswood to Caldra (which would mean Sir Derek to a county in the South Kingdoms instead); Sir Devin to Caligshire; the Admiral a baronetcy. Kit shows the message from the Principality of Korflok. Not known for either magic or psionics; some security concerns, but not hugely so. Alistair instructs his father’s tailor to recommend two seamstresses, one elven, one very modern. Kit responds that she will meet them at a nice merchants’ quarter restaurant tomorrow; stakes it out with some of her people. Brionna suggests adding the guards who distinguished themselves with the new Order of the Sardonyx Throne. Kit goes to visit Mommy Cupcakes to see the child. She brings Lord Brightspan with her. There are two babies in the nursery. The second one just showed up a few nights ago, several months later. Kit instructs Mommy Cupcakes to let us know if any additional babies show up mysteriously. Lord Brightspan has drifted over to the little tiny baby. “M’lord? What do you think?” “Her mind is very active.” “More active than you would expect in a baby that age?” “Stronger. Very… very quizzical.” “Can you tell if she’s all human?” “I think she’s fey. But she’s friendly.” Kit detects primitive, not well-formed psionics. “She’s generating an illusion that she’s human. I think it’s a defensive reaction.” “It’s okay. You can show us your real form.” For just a moment, she looks much smaller and more feylike than she does normally. “See? That’s okay. You can show us. No worries.” “Ach! It’s a changeling! I should have known. We get those every couple of generations. I think it’s the Tor’s way of showing that they’re our friends. I took care of one the last time—in the Archduke’s father’s day. They took him back eventually.” Lord Brightspan wanders over to the other baby. “Mommy Cupcake? Have you given either a name?” “Mostly I coo to them. I assume that my betters will name them.” After a while, Cupcake settles on Freya for the fey baby. The little boy still doesn’t have a name. Brightspan: “Very healthy. Seems fine to me. His mind isn’t active like the other one.” “Is he going to turn out to be a good person?” “As much chance as any baby.” “All human?” “Definitely all human.” Kit warns Mommy Cupcakes that refugee children are coming. We have some dolls, some teddy bears, and one bedraggled teddy ogre, about 3 times the size of the other teddy bears. An ambassador from the humanoids in the Barrier Mountains visited; that belonged to his boy. Kit reports back. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
