−
* The day starts quietly, with the cabal resting, spending time with friends, and catching up on needed chores, both magical and mundane.
 
−
* [[Tanya Clark|Tanya]] accidentally spills the beans about what really happened to [[Valentina Cooper|Valentina]].  [[Issa]] catches hell over it, despite his protests that, because of what he did, Valentina is finally getting her act together.  [[Sophia Cooper|Sophie]] is understandably upset.
 
−
* [[Samantha Albrecht|Sam]] wants to set up an office in the Regina, 'cause why not?
 
−
* [[Tobias Helmes|Tobias]] interrupts our interrogation of '''Issa''' to let us know he found a strange Mardi Gras style mask hanging on the fence outside the hotel.
 
−
* [[Autumn]] pre-cogs the mask and sees [[Detective Dean Newcomb]] hanging it on our fence.  We automatically assume that our local Seer rivals are responsible, since they've used the poor detective as a puppet before.
 
−
* A mage montage ensues, but examining the mask with our various spells and mage sights reveals nothing.  It seems to be a perfectly ordinary and rather cheap porcelain mask.
 
−
* Suddenly, all of our Unseen Senses go off.  When we investigate, we find a strange woman out in front of the hotel, stumbling around as though she is very, very drunk.  Her eyes glow a brilliant red.  She seems ecstatic that we have the mask, which she claims is hers.  Fate magic supports her claim.
 
−
* We know she has to be supernatural, but to mage sight she seems perfectly ordinary.  We don't find out until much too late that she has just ''eaten'' the ward on the Regina.
 
−
* [[Serafina]] asks the woman her name.  She offers a phrase in French, which translate to "Red Eyes."  [[Autumn]] recognizes the reference.  The woman is a Loa, a hedonist who will try any drug, imbibe any alcohol.  She is also the lover who can never be satisfied, and she kills any man she sleeps with.
 
−
* '''Autumn''' does a divination which indicates the Loa intends no harm to anyone, at least for the next 24 hours.
 
−
* '''Malachite''' decides to follow her as she wanders off to find a "good time."
 
−
* '''Autumn''' suggests we contact [[Qurbani]].
 
−
* '''Serafina''' begins a ritual that will cause the Loa to possess her.  She recruits '''Issa''' to ask the Loa questions once the ritual is complete.
 
−
* '''Malachite''' follows Red Eyes to the Desdemona Club.  He tries to stay unnoticed, but fails.  He lets '''Issa''' know that he's been spotted.
 
−
* '''Issa''' keeps a scrying eye on '''Malachite''' in case he gets into trouble and calls in [[Mitchell Flavel|Mitchell]] as back-up.
 
−
* '''Issa''' sends '''Malachite''' a text warning him about the Loa's homicidal tendencies: "Watch for roofies.  She kills men through sex."
 
−
* '''Malachite''' engages in a delicate social balancing act, trying to keep Red Eyes entertained without letting her seduce or influence or drug him.
 
−
* '''Autumn''' contacts Pan for info on Red Eyes.
 
−
* Red Eyes does something to influence '''Malachite''', trying to get him to kiss her.  '''Issa''' can see that '''Malachite''' needs an adult and sends him back up in the form of [[Rasayana]], '''Autumn''', and Mitchell.
 
−
* '''Rasayana''' gives '''Malachite''' a social boost to help him fend Red Eyes off.
 
−
* '''Malachite''' takes the Loa out onto the dance floor to distract her from her efforts to kiss him.  He is able to dodge her attempts several times, but finally she lands a kiss on him.  Or more precisely, on his torc.  The torc clicks open, and for the first time in twenty years, '''Malachite''' is able to take it off.
 
−
* Red Eyes falls to the floor, clearly in the grip of an orgasm.  The crowd is puzzled, then begins to get suspicious, wondering if '''Malachite''' has done something untoward to the Loa.
 
−
* '''Rasayana''' covers '''Malachite's''' ass by coming over with a clipboard and pretending that he was just the victim of a reality show prank.
 
−
* Red Eyes tells '''Malachite''' that his torc is very, very old, even older than the pyramids.
 
−
* At that moment, back at the Regina, a portal opens up in the sanctum.  Qurbani's limp, beaten form falls through.  She is followed by three Seers.
 
−
 
 
−
===Session Two (10.15.11)===
 
−
* '''Issa''' and '''Serafina''' run toward the sanctum.  '''Issa''' is able to get a message to '''Rasayana''' about the invasion.
 
−
* '''Malachite''' activates the teleportation items for himself, '''Autumn''', and Mitchell.  '''Rasayana''' stays behind with Red Eyes, to see if he can recruit her to help up against the Seers.
 
−
* '''Malachite''', '''Issa''', '''Serafina''', '''Autumn''', and Mitchell meet up in the hallway just outside the sanctum.  They are confront by the Seer [[Amenhotep]], who casts a Time spell which causes all but '''Autumn''' to be shunted a few seconds into the future.
 
−
* '''Autumn''' hits Amenhotep with Death magic and does considerable damage.

Pre-Chronicle

  • May 14, 1896: Master Kang Lu receives a dream-vision of the mage he is to take as his apprentice, and discovers that he won't be born until the late 1900s. So, he prepares a set of scenarios, and a handful of clues to lead the young mage to view those scenarios post-cognitively.
  • 1897: The Tri Ptitsy take over the Hotel Regina from Master Kang Lu.
  • 1902: Master Kang Lu dies of old age. He is buried in a beautiful tomb in the Babylon Gardens Cemetery.
