Session 159 - The Feymoon Ball (11th October 2018)

- Ethan has been hard at work investigating what is left of Bastiano’s holdings, looking for useful assets. In his investigation he has become aware of a group of information gatherers (and fixes) who wear the emblem of a blue bird. Ethan wants to know what they know so he sets up a meeting. A codephrase is given and Ethan heads to a specific Door.
- Beyond the Door is a ballroom where a masquerade Feymoon ball is underway. Everyone wears feathery masks. There is a lot of stray magic here, a great deal of glamourwork and glittering faerie dust falls from the chandelier. Ethan enters using Mental Invisibility (sorcery) and goes to find a costume. He wanders around, intrigued. Whilst he peruses, Isabelle arrives and she appears to be looking for someone. 
- Ethan reveals his presence to Isabelle. She is pleased to see him. They flirt a little and enjoy each other’s company. They are both here for the same individual - someone called Blue Jay who has not yet arrived.
- Later in the evening Blue Jay arrives and Ethan discovers that whereas Isabelle means to do harm to this individual, Ethan is more interested in recruiting him and hearing what he has to say. They broker a deal and Ethan finds out that Blue Jay is most worried about a girl who came to the last Feymoon ball and never returned. Ethan goes in search of her and finds her in a pocket reality within one of the mirrors that surround the ballroom. The missing girl has been dancing all of this time.
- The missing girl is reunited with her father, Blue Jay, and he offers to help Ethan. They organise a separate meeting. Isabelle is a bit disappointed to let Blue Jay go for now but she promises a reckoning. With the ball still in full swing, Ethan and Isabelle return to the dance floor and have a marvellous evening.
- At last, Ethan decides to leave. Five minutes after leaving, he receives an Icon contact from Abbie. She sounds sad. She asks why he is spending time with Isabelle. (GM’s note - Abbie is a sorceress but this is the first time she has demonstrated clairvoyance/precognition/divination style abilities).
