Kei is at New Kyoto, getting ready for the day to visit Merlin, when
she hears a gunshot. She grabs her sword and runs outside.
She sees a crowd of people gathered around a body and, as Kei
approaches, she can tell from the kimono that it's her mother.
She loses some time, but ends up dragging her mother's body back to her
home.
Fatima is aboard a dirigible bound for New Kyoto when she is Trumped by
Corwin, explaining that she has a visitor, her cousin (!) from
Shadow. Fatima is notified that her mother has had an accident
and died. Corwin and Fatima talk, and it's decided that Fatima
should contact her cousins.
Kev is in the middle of 'bizness' with his girlfriend when he gets a
Trump call. Kev tries to resist as much as possible. The
Trump attempt ends. Shortly afterwards, Kevin's girlfriend is
shot dead under him.
Sterling is slightly disturbed when he notices three waves of force
(Vitae Energy) racing toward Argent. Sterling Trumps Merlin and
notifies him of the waves. Merlin seems amazed, since there's a
big ball coming up (which none of the kids know about at this
time.) It's for a new ambassador. They decide to notify the
appropriate authorities.
Kei cleans up her mom's body and asks around about what happened.
No one saw anything.
Fatima gets a Trump call from Merlin as she is about an hour out from
New Kyoto. She's told of the ball and that Rinaldo will be
there. Merlin also tells her about the incoming Waves.
Rune has parked his personal dirigible at the blimp club and is hanging
out. He also receives a Trump call from Merlin concerning the
ball.
Kevin is off getting very very drunk when he receives another vague
Trump contact.
Sterling prepares and notifies city and military officials of what's
coming.
Sterling and Fatima talk via Trump and set up battle plans. They
decide to prep the city as though for a hurricane.
Fatima is Trumped by Kei and discuss Kei's mother's death.
Sterling investigates the waves. He can't sense any reality
behind the waves. Sterling Trumps Kevin and talks with him
concerning the phenomena for a little bit. Sterling decides to
contact Rune. Kevin leaves noting that he will help where he can.
Fatima arrives in New Kyoto and investigates the death of Kei's
mother. A sniper rifle is found on a rooftop.
Rune and Sterling talk and attempt experiments of getting to the other
side of the waves.
Conversations abound as several of Corwin's children are organized in
the Castle War Room following being Trumped by Fatima. There's a
lot of metaphysical talk and trying to figure out how to get the waves
slowed.
Some experimentation later, it's decided to try to get to Amber.
Kev describes the place to Rune and he goes through... he is
lost. Then Rune goes after when it's found that Kev is in other
people's hands. They eventually end up getting dumped back in the
War Room naked and tagged.
The Ball! --
Rinaldo and Dalt show up being all suave. Most people stay
away. Kei begins to experience labor pains. She makes her
exit, as Sterling talks to people about the wave that has accelerated
toward the Castle.
People make excuses to leave, but things are hastened as a whale drops
on the Castle, breaking the ballroom windows. Rinaldo hits on
Fatima while Sterling protects Dara.
Kei has a boy!
Sterling, Rune and Kev commune. Kev fends off flying stuff until
he becomes tired, and then gets a bit more conservative with his
magic. There seems to be a creation of a stable point in the
forest about a mile wide.
Sterling & Fatima head off to investigate. Sterling is
stopped by Rangers, but since he won't surrender his gun, Fatima goes
on alone. She finds Julian has created another Pattern with the
borrowed Grayswandir and Jewel of Judgment. Then he lent them to
Brand. Fatima returns and relates all this to Sterling.
Fatima and Sterling return to Argent and a chat session ensues.
After the eastern wave front passes, there are reports of groups
attacking. Sterling and Kei head out and deal with rainbow
colored jellyfish. Kev joins them and the dirigible they were on
catches on fire.
