At first, he was having a normal dream, walking around wearing his night robes and carrying his scythe. Then he was standing in front of this statue of a woman who had light projecting from her mouth. A whole bunch of Lunars were standing around. Some of them were in human form, some were in animal form, and one shifted right in front of him. They asked him to help fix the statue. He agreed to help them fix it because they said this would piss off the Sidereals (at least two of them called them Sidereals, not Mother<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ers). He realized that he was in the Wyld, so he took standard precautions. It was also clearly not Calibration in the dream, since the moon was in a different phase and the Lunars made references to it being Earth Resplendent. He told them what they needed to fix it (black and blue jade). A crow flew out of the room, then a barbarian man with a top hat walked in with some black and blue jade that was crying (he had beaten it up to make it black and blue). They made one of the Lunars turn into a rat and shoved him inside the statue to retrieve some broken parts. After those parts were fixed, he asked them for an explanation of what it did. The Lunar in the top hat started speaking in Jahar for an hour. The vague, short description had something to do with Fate and keeping Heaven from noticing you. Through talking with the crazy top hat guy, they managed to come up with another list of things needed to fix the Artifact Statue. The guy started pulling weird things out of his top hat, including a little Viking boat (which would have been perfect for the Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice). This made him cry a little. They needed the dreams of a maiden, so the Lunars got a Knight and forced him to go to sleep and stole his dreams with the top hat. After the statue was fixed, Gareth put a big G on the floor in front of it. The Lunars all appeared to be quite happy. Then he went back to a normal dream. This was a nice change, since it got him away from that creepy old lady that was hitting on him.</p><p></p><p>Gareth made a mental note that, after they got done with Heaven, they needed to go find the mice. Down at breakfast he voiced this to the group.</p><p></p><p>The group had a long discussion about how to get the Mice through the Wyld Portal intact. A Sack of Wyld Protection was included in the discussion, as was a Tortoise Zepplin. Also the charms ‘Sometimes Lawgivers <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Up’ (you can no longer prove the crime actually happened) and ‘I Didn’t Do It’ (you are not blamed for anything including the explanation of why that didn’t happen).</p><p></p><p>They discussed what A-dom was going to say to the Sealord before he and Gareth went to see him.

A-dom then apologized for creating panic. Gareth explained that, while routing around down in the sewers, they found a Manse. A-dom them apologized for accidently raising it and causing destruction. He didn’t want the Manse leveled and promised to keep it underground from now on. They promised to repair the land and buildings they destroyed. A-dom was informed he had disrupted three weddings.</p><p></p><p>After their meeting, A-dom and Gareth spent the day rebuilding and repairing the destroyed village.</p><p></p><p>A-dom got the idea to secret a message in the building construction (A-dom Was Here).

With Gareth’s help, they executed the plan perfectly.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck disguised herself as a guy. Tiger carried Jade’s Luck through the sewers destroying the rest of the Wyld and then spent the rest of the day wandering the city. Jade’s Luck was learning more about the city for future reference. They wandered into a bar where a lot of pirates were wearing the same colored handkerchiefs as A-dom. Tiger stole money from everyone so he could buy the whole bar a drink. (it was noted ooc Tiger has not been properly displaying his wealth, since he’s been walking around like a cripple and just bought everyone a drink).</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck found out the black sash pirates tended to be more freewheeling pirates.

They checked and you could see at least one message from pretty much any rooftop at some time during the day.</p><p></p><p>They decided this was an opportune time to skip town towards the bar with the door to Heaven. While they were all walking, Gareth filled Tiger and Jade’s Luck in on A-dom’s buildings of shame.</p><p></p><p>After the first day, they sat down in the Inn to enjoy themselves. After a while, Tiger realized that A-dom was sitting between two gods, who were drinking heavily. Tiger talked to them and found out one was the God of Wheels and the other was the God of Baldness. A-dom and Tiger talked for a while. Wheels thought that Architecture and his little brother, Arches, were total pricks. A-dom insulted Roadways and offended Wheels. A-dom left his beer and quickly left for his room.</p><p></p><p>The next day, as they approached the next town, they could all see a bunch of obvious gods walking around. It looked like the gods were having a drinking party. Roadways was clearly there, as was a big ball of Fire.</p><p></p><p>The group decided ‘why not?’ and wandered into town. They passed Lampoil puking and went into a bar. Inside, Footfungus and Removal of Foot Diseases were sitting at completely different tables.</p><p></p><p>A-dom declared he’d drink whatever ‘he’ was drinking. The bartender asked if he was sure, since that was babies’ blood. He quickly chose someone else, who was drinking wine. A-dom told the bartender not to go to the bathroom, which made the God of Pissing Your Pants cheer.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: It’s really better if I just don’t get involved anymore.</p><p></p><p>A lot of gods nodded in agreement. A god of Reincarnation mentioned a lot of people asked not to be put near A-dom. Gareth went over to the ball of darkness drinking babies’ blood and bought him a drink, introducing himself. He found out the god was Under the Bed Darkness. A-dom started asking him about a bunch of dragon-blood kids dying in Atlantis over a year ago. And this is how Gareth and Jade’s Luck found out there were children in that tower.</p><p></p><p>A-dom was asked what he was the god of. Gareth said <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ups, then apologized for having a Tiger moment. Long, drawn out discussion about how Tiger shouldn’t be the good son and how A-dom killed children too, so it shouldn’t just be expected of Tiger and it should all be explained as gross negligence. They were then told Gross Negligence was out back. They went out to get his opinion. Gross Negligence agreed with A-dom that it totally slipped his mind the children were inside.</p><p></p><p>Gross Negligence: He really only thinks of two things at a time; sex and whatever he is trying to do. Everything else just gets pushed to the side. Although the Shadowland was totally your fault.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: It’s not like they were important, anyway. They weren’t innocent mortals…</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck asked the god of Reincarnation if anyone had requested her recently. He said he had her first-born child all set up. Some Sidereal requested it with a sword to the face.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Can I volunteer that soul for soulsteel?</p><p></p><p>Half the bar looked at her with dirty looks.</p><p></p><p>He explained there was no guarantee that the child would exalt and all she was getting was the soul, not the shard as her child. They found out that Jahar’s soul had tried to become a dragon-blood, since the shard kept inhabiting people who didn’t want to be a Solar. A-dom suggested that she could just have the child and kill it. Reincarnation said that wasn’t very nice, then asked if he was that friend of Gross Negligence. He didn’t understand the group’s problem with Sidereals. Long discussion ensued, which included the idea of sending notes to the Sidereals via a messenger spirit.</p><p></p><p>A-dom hung out with Gross Negligence for a while. Gross Negligence really liked his work. They all hung out for a while. They watched a god go through a doorway and not come back. By midnight, all the gods were going through that doorway. Someone had to run back and grab Gross Negligence to make sure he went through.</p><p></p><p>Tiger delivered a note to the Sealord from Gareth saying the Wyld in the Sewers was fixed.</p><p></p><p>While A-dom was off doing something, Jade’s Luck brought up to Tiger and Gareth that they shouldn’t do any stealing in Heaven, specifically the Peaches of Immortality. She felt A-dom shouldn’t know about them at all, since then he’d want to steal them and that’s a hanging offense. Gareth took A-dom aside and told him that, while certain people didn’t think this should be said, he felt it was necessary to point out. He told A-dom no stealing in Heaven. A-dom was all, ‘no <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />, we’re the new mortals in Heaven.’ Gareth told him to especially not steal any peaches, because it was an immediate death offense. Yeah, the gods are weird.</p><p></p><p>The next morning, they all had breakfast and then ordered a shot of whiskey.</p><p></p><p>Bartender: So you’re all going to Heaven in the day the gods all have hangovers. Wow, you ARE courageous!</p><p></p><p>The bartender was delighted when Gareth actually paid him. He said he lost a lot of money during Calibration because asking the gods for money could get a bar dropped on you. A-dom, Tiger and the bartender had a happy conversation about how you went about procuring and keeping fresh babies’ blood.</p><p></p><p>As they were heading for the door, the bartender told then he had heard you’re supposed to watch your step. They found out it was a bucket closet normally and they had lost two employees through the doorway. The wooden bar was built around a stone archway.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Gareth let the others know that the whiskey requirement was an add on during the Rosewind, Tellus, Sara, and Witch something or other. The man he was talking to wasn’t Tellus.</p><p></p><p>A-dom walked through the door. Gareth paid attention to what he was doing as he stepped through the door. Tiger and Jade’s Luck watched their step as they walked through.</p><p></p><p>The doorway was off by a hundred and thirty degrees from normal and up above normal height. A-dom fell on the ground. Gareth fell on top of A-dom. Jade’s Luck barely managed to land without falling. Tiger had no problem landing properly.</p><p></p><p>The Celestial Lions argued over if they both lost the bet or not. They had been betting on if the group would land on their feet or not. Celestial Lions asked Tiger and A-dom of Jade’s Luck and Gareth were with them. When Tiger responded with a lackluster yes, the Lion said that they could now enter Heaven without a guide. They found out Celestial Lions were in the same union as Gargoyles. Jade’s Luck asked for a list of the rules. She was told she didn’t need one because she was with them (A-dom and Tiger). Long argument that consisted of ‘you don’t need one’ and ‘but I want one.’ She was told to ask someone with paperwork.</p><p></p><p>Gross Negligence walked by and waved.</p><p></p><p>Gross Negligence: Nice to see you!</p></blockquote><p></p>

They found out that Jahar’s soul had tried to become a dragon-blood, since the shard kept inhabiting people who didn’t want to be a Solar. A-dom suggested that she could just have the child and kill it. Reincarnation said that wasn’t very nice, then asked if he was that friend of Gross Negligence. He didn’t understand the group’s problem with Sidereals. Long discussion ensued, which included the idea of sending notes to the Sidereals via a messenger spirit. A-dom hung out with Gross Negligence for a while. Gross Negligence really liked his work. They all hung out for a while. They watched a god go through a doorway and not come back. By midnight, all the gods were going through that doorway. Someone had to run back and grab Gross Negligence to make sure he went through. Tiger delivered a note to the Sealord from Gareth saying the Wyld in the Sewers was fixed. While A-dom was off doing something, Jade’s Luck brought up to Tiger and Gareth that they shouldn’t do any stealing in Heaven, specifically the Peaches of Immortality. She felt A-dom shouldn’t know about them at all, since then he’d want to steal them and that’s a hanging offense. Gareth took A-dom aside and told him that, while certain people didn’t think this should be said, he felt it was necessary to point out. He told A-dom no stealing in Heaven. A-dom was all, ‘no :):):):), we’re the new mortals in Heaven.’ Gareth told him to especially not steal any peaches, because it was an immediate death offense. Yeah, the gods are weird. The next morning, they all had breakfast and then ordered a shot of whiskey. Bartender: So you’re all going to Heaven in the day the gods all have hangovers. Wow, you ARE courageous! The bartender was delighted when Gareth actually paid him. He said he lost a lot of money during Calibration because asking the gods for money could get a bar dropped on you. A-dom, Tiger and the bartender had a happy conversation about how you went about procuring and keeping fresh babies’ blood. As they were heading for the door, the bartender told then he had heard you’re supposed to watch your step. They found out it was a bucket closet normally and they had lost two employees through the doorway. The wooden bar was built around a stone archway. Gareth let the others know that the whiskey requirement was an add on during the Rosewind, Tellus, Sara, and Witch something or other. The man he was talking to wasn’t Tellus. A-dom walked through the door. Gareth paid attention to what he was doing as he stepped through the door. Tiger and Jade’s Luck watched their step as they walked through. The doorway was off by a hundred and thirty degrees from normal and up above normal height. A-dom fell on the ground. Gareth fell on top of A-dom. Jade’s Luck barely managed to land without falling. Tiger had no problem landing properly. The Celestial Lions argued over if they both lost the bet or not. They had been betting on if the group would land on their feet or not. Celestial Lions asked Tiger and A-dom of Jade’s Luck and Gareth were with them. When Tiger responded with a lackluster yes, the Lion said that they could now enter Heaven without a guide. They found out Celestial Lions were in the same union as Gargoyles. Jade’s Luck asked for a list of the rules. She was told she didn’t need one because she was with them (A-dom and Tiger). Long argument that consisted of ‘you don’t need one’ and ‘but I want one.’ She was told to ask someone with paperwork. Gross Negligence walked by and waved. Gross Negligence: Nice to see you!
