WHY-IC: Last month a turncoat Black Spiral Dancer decided to betray his allies and give the renegade fae formerly of Blooming Valley information on the location of the True High King David - and when the best time to strike would be - right before the wards are renewed on Beltane. The time has come to make a stand for the future of Concordia, and recapture the true King...
CHECK-IN NOTE:
Check-in will start at Noon and end promptly at 1:40, with game itself running from 2-6:30pm. Check in with Kasi - for chops, donations, packets, & XP/updates - and then MJ, for dross, item cards, etc. MJ and Kasi will be at the Union around 11AM to meet with players one-on-one with fewer distractions. If you know you want to meet with an ST privately during this time, drop us a line at living-in-the-mystery-st@googlegroups.com so we can plan accordingly.
If you know you are going to be late, please let the ST staff know as soon as possible. We understand work, travel, family, and other aspects of real life come first, and we are not going to punish you if you have to come late or leave early because of that - just please let us know if you'll be late so we can make sure to have your packet ready when you get there. If nothing else, you can feel free to call or text Kasi at 812 650 2812 or MJ at 812-606-4573 if you are running late that day.
We hope you all are as excited as we are to see what becomes of Concordia.
AFTERS NOTE:
We have reservations for Chili's, but Edwin Shurig (player of the adventurous mortal, Professor Rockwell) has kindly offered to host tasty, home-cooked afters at his abode, which is not far from Chili's. Same area convenient to the bypass/3rd St., better (and less expensive) food. So long as we make a decision by start of game Sunday, we can cancel our reservations at Chili's. Give this some thought and reply to this email with your thoughts on afters.
Love and baby demonic seals,
The LitM Staff
Insiration/Quote for the Month
Tracy Chapman - Talkin' Bout A Revolution
The Beatles - Revolution
On the morning June 13, much to the shock of most of the remaining waking Americans and much of the world, Vice President Clinton (so promoted when Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Robert Byrd all succumbed to Sleeping Sickness) appeared on national television with a handsome, charismatic man with pointed ears - High King David Ardry.
VP Clinton introduced the High King as the national leader of a group of individuals, calling themselves Fae - unusually gifted American citizens who have lived and died, fought and worked besides regular Americans for centuries. Unbeknownst to most, they have been with America since its humble beginnings, woven into the very fabric of the nation. Choosing to remain hidden, they have walked the balance between normal lives and an awareness of more than meets the naked eye. For centuries, they have defeated threats many Americans could not imagine. Now that their world and America thoroughly co-exist, the US Government and the High King have agreed to establish diplomatic relations to best aid each other.
High King Ardry then addressed the nation. He reassured of the good intentions of the fae, and introduced to them the idea that American fae are inseparable from the dreams of America and all Americans. He announced that he would be reforming the long-neglected governing body of the fae, the Parliament of Dreams, effectively immediately. However, now it would have the addition of mortal members of the US Government having some standing in the Parliament as well.VP Clinton concluded the speech thanking new allies and lauding a new era of cooperation that shall surely see the return of America to greatness.
Notably, in the UK, the BBC pulled the broadcast from the air in under a minute. YouTube and other online access to recordings and transcripts of the address have been blocked.
