Sterling
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.
