[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

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.

She pauses to take her move, then slings an arm over her seat, turning back to Eliza. "Always glad when it starts to get a little cool and I can whip this baby out."

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.

"A summer girl, huh?"

I have two fashion modes: summer and skiing.

"I can mostly respect that, but if there isn't room for 'cool fall evening with the leaves swirling around and you've got a cup of coffee in one hand and are listening to an audiobook with another' aesthetic, I might need to question your fashion commitment."

The other lady snorts.

I dig the aesthetic, but in practice that kind of setting is going to end up bundled up early in pajamas with a blanket and/or a plush bathrobe.

Thank you.
