Session 2 Downtime - Knuckles Cracking

by Locke


 

The Disturbance


After coming home, Locke noticed that "something" had disturbed things inside his home. He took some time to straighten things up, leaving untouched one book that was slide across the floor from where he left it. He sat crosslegged and looked closely at the book, examining it without touching it. He let his mind sink into a meditative state, and cast the spell Reaching for Gnosis.
 
What creature last disturbed this book? A wrong cat.
 
Oh.
 

The New Plague


At the end of session 2, when Locke used divination to get some information about the Blood Prince, he caught the New Plague. He stayed up late into the night, experimenting on himself and measuring the results, and learned a couple of basic things about the effect. 1) It is not passed via physical transmission. 2) It *is* passed by an intermingling of the magic of two beings.
 

Thanksing


Locke learned the Invocation of Thanks specifically for this. He writes a thank-you note and sends it to the Blood Prince to thank them for rescuing the Vislae from the Suffering Engine.
 
Locke will buy a second Leaf of Gratitude to send thanks to Alex as well, for having remained patient and not doing anything stupid while other people dealt with the Suffering Engine.
 

Measuring the Black Cube


Locke dropped another useless book onto the pile. Nothing. Nothing in any of these. Just in the back of his mind, a memory... a card catalog listing, in the library of the Vance College. The only place he was sure this information exists. :(
 

Housewarming


Before getting to work on his house, Locke schedules a housewarming party, sending invitations to Simone, Gwyn, Fynlan, Heironymous, neighbor Tirinia, neighbor Edna, Alex (if he is found) to attend a housewarming party at the Observatory. Desserts and coffee will be served, and all will be welcome to observe the heavens through the Observatory's main telescope.
 
He also writes an invitation for A'isha, but does not mail it. Whether or not he gives it to her will depend on how things go when he stops by to arrange to get his instruments back.
 

Houseworking


Primarily, Locke will accomplish the rebuilding of his house by using Restoration of Form repeatedly to return it to its correct condition.
 
He will retrieve his tools from A'isha.
 
He will buy books from shops and swap meets all over Satyrine, to start building his library.
 
He will restore the landscape by having Gwyn make him some bone seeds, and using them to seed the other side of the hill from the first ones.
 
Climax will be the housewarming party.
