[Game 21] That Night

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

He's either flirting with you or possibly goading you into a fight.

"Yeah, that's not where you were looking, was it?"

Shared credit seems fine.

Sure. Used to travel a lot for work.

It's better to arrive early instead of late!

Aye.

Why do ye have a fidget spinner?

Yes. We're not very good at being not suspicious... even when we're in disguise.

Still, I'll see if there's something I can do to make the journey more comfortable for him.

I bet. I'm going to be in shorts and sandals until it's actually freezing, but the sweater weather is like one of the best parts of autumn coming in.

[why are you like this]

[grins wide and fangy for the photo]

Then Zeno certainly doesn't mind!

American history isn't really my specialty.

Shared it is, then.

What did ye have in mind~~?

[Looking over at the loot.]

Ah! A reader! Perhaps our mystery companion is a grammarian!

[That's what a book named "it" must be about, right? Grammar!]
