}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''XP Spent:''' 5 (mundane: ''Friends on the Margins, Professional Training, Defensive Combat.'' arcane: ''new Praxis (Red Memory)''); '''XP Unspent:''' 0 mundane, 2 arcane&lt;br /&gt;
===Attainments===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Counterspell (''Fate, Mind, Space'')''': Can counter a spell that uses one of the selected arcana while it is being cast.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mage Armour (''Mind, Space'')''' Spend 1 mana as a reflexive action to gain the benefits of a Mage Armour for a scene. Remains active even if she falls unconscious. Can only benefit from one armour at a time, but can change between arcana by spending 1 mana as a reflexive action.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Mind Armour:'' Add Mind to Defence. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to give the attacker the Beaten Down tilt; a supernatural being can resist this tilt with a Clash of Wills. Provides no protection against threats with no cognition to affect. &lt;br /&gt;
** ''Space Armour:'' Add Space to Defence, and can apply full Defence against firearms and similar attacks which normally ignore Defence. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to redirect the attack to another applicable target; the attack hits with successes equal to Space. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mind's Eye:''' Detects Goetia and Mental Twilight phenomena with her Periphery, and can automatically see Goetia and projecting being in Twilight with Mage Sight (Goetia attempts to hide with supernatural means provoke a clash of wills). Can spend 1 mana to interact with Goetia for a scene, enabling her to speak with, touch or even strike them, though becomes vulnerable to such from them as well.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sympathetic Range:''' Can use sympathy Yantra to cast magic at a target beyond sensory range by spending 1 mana. The spell is Withstood by the fragility of the sympathetic connection.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Targeted Summoning (''Mind'')''': Can spend 1 mana when summoning a Supernal being to add greater specificity in the type of being sought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rotes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sharpen the Mind's Armoury''' (''Ruling Mind; Athletics''): Increase one of the subjects Skills by Potency, as long as they already have at least 1 dot in the Skill.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can increase an additional Skill per additional Reach, spreading Potency between these skills.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach, costs 1 mana&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can increase the subject's Skills above the normal maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Command Obedience''' (''Ruling Mind; Intimidate, Withstood by Resolve''): Project simple telepathic commands to the subject that they are compelled to follow even if against his will. Commands must be simple one-word orders and cannot force the subject to act in a way that would put him in serious harm or commit suicidal acts.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' The subject can be forced to perform one task that can be as simple or as complex as the mage desires, giving detailed mental instructions for how to complete the task.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach, costs 1 mana&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' As with +1 reach effect, but there is no limit on the command that can be given, including commands that place the subject in danger or harm themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''No Door Holds''' (''Ruling Space; Athletics''): Bypass an obstacle preventing movement, such as a locked door, bindings, a charm blocking a path. Cannot go through something that is not an obstacle to movement. Inanimate objects must be moved through the obstacle. &lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Subject can fit through obstacles otherwise not able to pass through even if unobstructed; eg. driving a car into a house through a narrow doorway.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Subjects pass through the obstacles even if unable to move, appearing on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Praxes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Scars in the Wallpaper''' (''Unveiling Mind''): Read the emotional residue of a location, identifying places tainted by terror, pain, and violation (Chambers in &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;''Beast the Primordial''&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Red Memory''' (''Fraying Mind''): Augments her unarmed strikes to add Potency in bashing damage as a weapon rating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merits===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Advanced Killer Instinct.''' Can use Killer Instinct merit without studying a target. Can take a full round to study a target, then when making an attack against the target choose one effect per dot in the merit: Upgrade 1 level of Lethal damage to Aggravated; Destroy 1/1 nonsupernatural armour until replaced or healed; Ignore 2pts of target Defence and 1pt of called shot penalty. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Defensive Combat.''' Uses Brawl in place of Athletics for calculating Defence.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Friends on the Margins.''' Functions similar to Status. &amp;lt;details to be added later&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Ephemeral entities of Blackmouth encountered during the ''[[Hypolethia]]'' chronicle. In order of appearance, for now.&lt;br /&gt;

==The Rage Fragment==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity, unusually embodied in the material world''&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
==The Face in the Tree==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity, daimon''&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
==The Wolf in Chains==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity, daimon''&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vánagandr]]'s daimon. &lt;br /&gt;
==The Bacchant Satyr==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity''&lt;br /&gt;
A gigantic and monstrous satyr that appeared in [[Kassandra's Oneiros]]. It appeared only to [[Kassandra]], who saw it contemptuously murder the other members of the cabal before mocking her for what she thought might happen if she brought the unwanted and unwelcome into her soul. It continued to torment her, eventually driving her into a fit when she begged to join its dance, until the Soft Voice seemed to drive it away. [[Vánagandr]] saw it for a moment when trying to help Kassandra shake free of its influence, it mocked her as well as weak and worthless.&lt;br /&gt;
==The Soft Voice==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity, possible daimon''&lt;br /&gt;
A voice heard only by [[Kassandra]] during the astral journey into her [[Kassandra's Oneiros|Oneiros]]. It soothed and calmed her after the fury and violation wrought by the satyr. Possibly the same voice she hears in her dreams. Possibly also her daimon.&lt;br /&gt;
==The Thorn Mother==&lt;br /&gt;
: ''Goetic entity, possible daimon''&lt;br /&gt;
A humanoid figure made of polished porcelain and tight-coiled thorned vines that was encountered in [[Titania's Oneiros]]. She first manifested after [[Titania]] and [[Vánagandr]] entered the Castle of ice at the heart of the Oneiros, and was highly protective of Titania. Possibly Titania's daimon.&lt;br /&gt;

In which dreams freeze over, and the cabal finds a wound and an implication hidden inside a sleeping heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabal travelled to [[Titania’s Oneiros]]. At first glance, it appeared to be some sort of fairytale realm made up of a blend of cartoon whimsy and folklore - something beautiful, polished and almost too perfect. The details did not hold up under examination with places growing less distinct the further they stood from [[Titania]], or the inhabitants remained and still and immobile whenever outside of her line of sight.&lt;br /&gt;
* As the cabal searched for the intrusion, they found that its source lay somewhere within a strange frozen palace that hung over the heart of the realm. Titania was reluctant to approach it - that place was private, unimportant, and not relevant to the investigation. She was far more interested in showing the cabal the bright heart of her soul - her sister Rachel, perfect and precious, the princess of this fairytale place. When pressed about the palace and the need to continue, Titania became visibly distressed. Snow began to fall, and the realm started to freeze around them.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra]] was able to weave an area of warmth around the cabal to hold the cutting cold at bay but it could not hold forever. Or so [[Vánagandr]] argued, saying that the cabal needed to find the intrusion to understand what had been done to them. Titania was uncomfortable with this and the cold grew sharper as they proceeded toward the palace, only to find that the only way up to it - a narrow icy stairwell - had melted away beneath her Titania's doubt and desire to keep what lay in the palace unseen. Even attempting to appeal to the fairytale logic of the realm — urging her to believe in herself and trust that the way would hold — were not enough. Her fear shattered the ground around the palace, forcing the cabal to retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania admitted that she did not want to go inside. The palace was intensely private and secret, and she feared that what was contained in the palace would change how people saw her. Vánagandr eventually reached her by offering a truth for a truth, and a promise that she would not judge Titania for anything she saw. She told Titania, in oblique terms, about protecting her own younger sister: the death of her father, perhaps an accident, perhaps not; the fact that she felt no guilt for the death itself, only for the shattering of her sister’s innocence and the destruction of their family; and the fact that she had not seen her sister in roughly fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania accepted the truth given and offered one of her own. She agreed to enter the palace, but only with Vánagandr, and only on the promise that Vánagandr would not speak of what she saw inside. Kassandra and [[Wotann]] were asked to remain behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* This time stairs formed beneath Titania’s feet as she and Vánagandr approached. They ascended into the frozen palace and found the frozen remnants of a trailer park, frozen forever in a moment of rusting neglect. A further ascent took them to a bedroom, where another image of Rachel lay sleeping, still and pale as if close to death. Titania busied herself tidying the sleeping girl on the bed as she told the story.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania had grown up in that trailer park. Her parents cared little for her, and barely more for themselves, concerned mostly with their next high. Titania had escaped for a time, slipping into foster care, but eventually returned. When she did, she found Rachel, still only a baby, abandoned in filth and swaddled in multiple soiled nappies. Titania took her sister and ran. As she spoke, the pristine princess bedroom began to bleed into the stinking neglect of the trailer. Titania refused to let Rachel suffer as she had, even if that meant becoming overprotective, controlling, or more of a parent than a sister.&lt;br /&gt;
* During this, Vánagandr noticed the source of the intrusion. It was subtle: Rachel’s slow, shallow heartbeat. She quietly directed Titania to examine the sleeper herself, noting that Titania understood Fate more deeply than she did and might be able to perceive the true shape of the wrongness; a gentle lie to allow Titania to draw her own conclusion rather than forcing a hard truth upon her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania did so, and saw that the alteration was not simply a matter of life or death. This was not Rachel herself, but the interpretation and representation of her as she was to Titania. The intrusion had changed whether Rachel was alive to Titania. In some other path, Titania and Rachel would be nothing to one another, though it was unclear whether that separation came from abandonment, death, estrangement, or something else. With this mind, Vánagandr wondered if she had been reading the intrusions too literally. Perhaps they were not simple wounds in memory or survival, but alterations to the meaning and consequence of decisive paths.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania, meanwhile, became lost in the tangle of thread and fate, trying to understand the nature of the separation. Something noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann and Kassandra saw it first: a female figure of porcelain, doll-like and beautiful, but filled with jagged thorns. It took offence at their presence and demanded to know whether they were the cause of Titania’s distress. When it realised that they were not, it proceeded toward the palace. Recognising the danger, Wotann enhanced his lungs and shouted a warning to those inside.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania was too lost in the threads of Fate to understand or leave. Vánagandr tried to reach her, but by the time she began to get through, the porcelain and thorn figure had arrived and took Titania in a protective hug, fiercely protective and angry at Vánagandr for upsetting Titania so. Titania started to stir from her obsession but seemed to be under the spell of the figure, crying and calling it ''Mother'' as she pulled into its arms. Vánagandr, suspicious that this might be some dark impulse, hostile Goetia, or other threat within Titania’s soul, demanded that the figure leave Titania alone and wove a spell to lend some of her own confidence to the other woman. Titania spoke up to the porcelain figure and convinced it to let her go.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr realised that the figure was likely not a threat, but Titania’s daimon or some form of protective internal parent. She apologised for her sharpness and explained that she had been concerned the figure meant Titania harm. When Titania objected to the magic Vánagandr had used to bolster her, Vánagandr apologised again and said that she generally did not wish harm to come to those she considered important to her. Titania was left wondering what, exactly, that meant.&lt;br /&gt;
* Once Titania and Vánagandr returned to the others, interrupting Wotann and Kassandra’s extended game of Twenty Questions, the cabal looked for a way out. It was time to end the journey and decompress. Astral journeys are '''exhausting'''. A door was noticed, and with the symbolism obvious enough, they took it. They expected to wake from the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead, they found themselves in the Corridor. They also appeared to be physical which should have been impossible. Several tests to confirm the nature of their surroundings later, they made their way back to the Velvet Room. Vánagandr went downstairs to her sanctum to check whether their bodies were still present. For one moment she saw them, but when she blinked, they vanished. She spent the next half hour decompressing, finishing a much-needed scotch, reassembling the professional mask of presentation around herself, and studying where they had been before gathering herself to return upstairs to the others.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kassandra was roped back into the shift she was already late for. She was at least able to make Titania an excellent Old Fashioned. A few people noticed Titania and recognised her mundane identity as Laura Fox, mildly famous private investigator. They attempted to take photographs before being distracted by Wotann.&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, [[Rachel Finnegan]] herself snuck into the Velvet Room using a fake ID, accompanied by a few friends. Tension quickly rose between the sisters. Frustrated by Titania’s attempts to control her life, Rachel complained that she was seventeen and could make her own decisions. She quickly corrected herself and claimed to be twenty-one, but Toni, the bouncer, overheard the admission and insisted that both sisters leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania's Oneiros was a place of carefully curated whimsy and positivity hiding painful secrets. The defining features are the idealisation of her sister Rachel, the hidden truths about her past, and an intensely protective maternal instinct. &lt;br /&gt;
* Some of Titania and Vánagandr's pasts were revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania grew up in a trailer park household to deeply neglectful parents. She eventually ran away, spent some time in foster care, before sneaking back to the trailer to rescue her baby sister. She has built much of her life and identity around ensuring that Rachel never suffers as she did. Titania only told this to Vánagandr and made her swear to tell no-one else.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr grew up with a physically abusive widower father. At some point in her teens, she got in the way of him harming her younger sister, after which an altercation happened and her father died. She does not feel guilt for his death, only the loss of innocence inflicted on her sister and the final shattering of her family. She has not seen her sister for about fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the intrusion in Titania's Oneiros was found - a disruption in her connection to her sister Rachel that manifests as a subtle nudge to the heartbeat of the representation of Rachel in the Oneiros. Titania's realisation that the disruption is in the connection and representation rather than Rachel herself led Vánagandr to consider that the intrusions may be much more symbolic than she had first thought.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the Offices is even stranger than expected. Rather than returning to their own bodies after their astral journey, the Cabal instead physically ended up in the Corridor.&lt;br /&gt;
* The members of the cabal - still unnamed! - are starting to connect more through their experiences&lt;br /&gt;
** Wotann and Kassandra easily fall into friendly arguments and debate about music, or pass time with Twenty Questions.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania and Vánagandr have connected over shared experiences of pain. After the encounter with the Thorn Mother, Vánagandr apologised for using magic on Titania without asking and stated she does not want harm to come to those she considers important to her, leaving Titania uncertain what to make of the statement.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania was recognised in the Velvet Room as her mundane identity, Laura Fox.&lt;br /&gt;

It was time to end the journey and decompress. Astral journeys are '''exhausting'''. A door was noticed, and with the symbolism obvious enough, they took it. They expected to wake from the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead, they found themselves in the Corridor. They also appeared to be physical which should have been impossible. Several tests to confirm the nature of their surroundings later, they made their way back to the Velvet Room. Vánagandr went downstairs to her sanctum to check whether their bodies were still present. For one moment she saw them, but when she blinked, they vanished. She spent the next half hour decompressing, finishing a much-needed scotch, reassembling the professional mask of presentation around herself, and studying where they had been before gathering herself to return upstairs to the others.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kassandra was roped back into the shift she was already late for. She was at least able to make Titania an excellent Old Fashioned. A few people noticed Titania and recognised her mundane identity as Laura Fox, mildly famous private investigator. They attempted to take photographs before being distracted by Wotann.&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, [[Rachel Finnegan]] herself snuck into the Velvet Room using a fake ID, accompanied by a few friends. Tension quickly rose between the sisters. Frustrated by Titania’s attempts to control her life, Rachel complained that she was seventeen and could make her own decisions. She quickly corrected herself and claimed to be twenty-one, but Toni, the bouncer, overheard the admission and insisted that both sisters leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania's Oneiros was a place of carefully curated whimsy and positivity hiding painful secrets. The defining features are the idealisation of her sister Rachel, the hidden truths about her past, and an intensely protective maternal instinct. &lt;br /&gt;
* Some of Titania and Vánagandr's pasts were revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania grew up in a trailer park household to deeply neglectful parents. She eventually ran away, spent some time in foster care, before sneaking back to the trailer to rescue her baby sister. She has built much of her life and identity about ensuring that Rachel never suffers as she did. Titania only told this to Vánagandr and made her swear to tell no-one else.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr grew up with a physically abusive widower father. At some point in her teens, she got in the way of him harming her younger sister, after which an altercation happened and her father died. She does not feel guilt for his death, only the loss of innocence inflicted on her sister and the final shattering of her family. She has not seen her sister for about fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the intrusion in Titania's Oneiros was found - a disruption in her connection to her sister Rachel that manifests as a subtle nudge to the heartbeat of the representation of Rachel in the Oneiros. Titania's realisation that the disruption is in the connection and representation rather than Rachel herself lead Vánagandr to consider that the intrusions may be much more symbolic than she had first thought.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the Offices is even stranger than expected. Rather than returning to their own bodies after their astral journey, the Cabal instead physically ended up in the Corridor.&lt;br /&gt;
* The members of the cabal - still unnamed! - are starting to connect more through their experiences&lt;br /&gt;
** Wotann and Kassandra easily fall into friendly arguments and debate about music, or pass time with Twenty Questions.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania and Vánagandr have connected over shared experiences of pain. After the encounter with the Thorn Mother, Vánagandr apologised for using magic on Titania without asking and stated she does not want harm to come to those she considers important to her, leaving Titania uncertain what to make of the statement.&lt;br /&gt;

In which dreams freeze over, and the cabal finds a wound and an implication hidden in a sleeping heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabal travelled to [[Titania’s Oneiros]]. At first glance, it appeared to be some sort of fairytale realm made up a blend of cartoon whimsy and folklore - something beautiful, polished and almost too perfect. The details did not hold up under examination with places growing less distinct the further they stood from [[Titania]], or the inhabitants remaining and still and immobile whenever outside of her line of sight.&lt;br /&gt;
* As the cabal searched for the intrusion, they found that its source lay somewhere within a strange frozen palace that hung over the heart of the realm. Titania was reluctant to approach it - that place was private, unimportant, and not relevant to the investigation. She was far more interested in showing the cabal the bright heart of her soul - her sister Rachel, perfect and precious, the princess of this fairytale place. When pressed about the palace and the need to continue, Titania became visibly distressed. Snow began to fall, and the realm started to freeze around them.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra]] was able to weave an area of warmth around the cabal to hold the cutting cold at bay but it could not hold forever. Or so [[Vánagandr]] argued, saying that the cabal needed to find the intrusion to understand what had been done to them. Titania was uncomfortable with this and the cold grew sharper as they proceeded toward the palace, only to find that the only way up to it - a narrow icy stairwell - had melted away beneath her Titania's doubt and desire to keep what lay in the palace unseen. Even attempting to appeal to the fairytale logic of the realm — urging her to believe in herself and trust that the way would hold — were not enough. Her fear shattered the ground around the palace, forcing the cabal to retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania admitted that she did not want to go inside. The palace was intensely private and secret, and she feared that what was contained in the palace would change how people saw her. Vánagandr eventually reached her by offering a truth for a truth, and a promise that she would not judge Titania for anything she saw. She told Titania, in oblique terms, about protecting her own younger sister: the death of her father, perhaps an accident, perhaps not; the fact that she felt no guilt for the death itself, only for the shattering of her sister’s innocence and the destruction of their family; and the fact that she had not seen her sister in roughly fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania accepted the truth given and offered one of her own. She agreed to enter the palace, but only with Vánagandr, and only on the promise that Vánagandr would not speak of what she saw inside. Kassandra and [[Wotann]] were asked to remain behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* This time stairs formed beneath Titania’s feet as she and Vánagandr approached. They ascended into the frozen palace and found the frozen remnants of a trailer park, frozen forever in a moment of rusting neglect. A further ascent took them to a bedroom, where another image of Rachel lay sleeping, still and pale as if close to death. Titania busied herself tidying the sleeping girl on the bed as she told the story.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania had grown up in that trailer park. Her parents cared little for her, and barely more for themselves, concerned mostly with their next high. Titania had escaped for a time, slipping into foster care, but eventually returned. When she did, she found Rachel, still only a baby, abandoned in filth and swaddled in multiple soiled nappies. Titania took her sister and ran. As she spoke, the pristine princess bedroom began to bleed into the stinking neglect of the trailer. Titania refused to let Rachel suffer as she had, even if that meant becoming overprotective, controlling, or more of a parent than a sister.&lt;br /&gt;
* During this, Vánagandr noticed the source of the intrusion. It was subtle: Rachel’s slow, shallow heartbeat. She quietly directed Titania to examine the sleeper herself, noting that Titania understood Fate more deeply than she did and might be able to perceive the true shape of the wrongness; a gentle lie to allow Titania to draw her own conclusion rather than forcing a hard truth upon her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania did so, and saw that the alteration was not simply a matter of life or death. This was not Rachel herself, but the interpretation and representation of her as she was to Titania. The intrusion had changed whether Rachel was alive to Titania. In some other path, Titania and Rachel would be nothing to one another, though it was unclear whether that separation came from abandonment, death, estrangement, or something else. With this mind, Vánagandr wondered if she had been reading the intrusions too literally. Perhaps they were not simple wounds in memory or survival, but alterations to the meaning and consequence of decisive paths.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania, meanwhile, became lost in the tangle of thread and fate, trying to understand the nature of the separation. Something noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann and Kassandra saw it first: a female figure of porcelain, doll-like and beautiful, but filled with jagged thorns. It took offence at their presence and demanded to know whether they were the cause of Titania’s distress. When it realised that they were not, it proceeded toward the palace. Recognising the danger, Wotann enhanced his lungs and shouted a warning to those inside.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania was too lost in the threads of Fate to understand or leave. Vánagandr tried to reach her, but by the time she began to get through, the porcelain and thorn figure had arrived and took Titania in a protective hug, fiercely protective and angry at Vánagandr for upsetting Titania so. Titania started to stir from her obsession but seemed to be under the spell of the figure, crying and calling it ''Mother'' as she pulled into its arms. Vánagandr, suspicious that this might be some dark impulse, hostile Goetia, or other threat within Titania’s soul, demanded that the figure leave Titania alone and wove a spell to lend some of her own confidence to the other woman. Titania spoke up to the porcelain figure and convinced it to let her go.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr realised that the figure was likely not a threat, but Titania’s daimon or some form of protective internal parent. She apologised for her sharpness and explained that she had been concerned the figure meant Titania harm. When Titania objected to the magic Vánagandr had used to bolster her, Vánagandr apologised again and said that she generally did not wish harm to come to those she considered important to her. Titania was left wondering what, exactly, that meant.&lt;br /&gt;
* Once Titania and Vánagandr returned to the others, interrupting Wotann and Kassandra’s extended game of Twenty Questions, the cabal looked for a way out. It was time to end the journey and decompress. Astral journeys are '''exhausting'''. A door was noticed, and with the symbolism obvious enough, they took it. They expected to wake from the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead, they found themselves in the Corridor. They also appeared to be physical which should have been impossible. Several tests to confirm the nature of their surroundings later, they made their way back to the Velvet Room. Vánagandr went downstairs to her sanctum to check whether their bodies were still present. For one moment she saw them, but when she blinked, they vanished. She spent the next half hour decompressing, finishing a much-needed scotch, reassembling the professional mask of presentation around herself, and studying where they had been before gathering herself to return upstairs to the others.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kassandra was roped back into the shift she was already late for. She was at least able to make Titania an excellent Old Fashioned. A few people noticed Titania and recognised her mundane identity as Laura Fox, mildly famous private investigator. They attempted to take photographs before being distracted by Wotann.&lt;br /&gt;

She has built much of her life and identity about ensuring that Rachel never suffers as she did. Titania only told this to Vánagandr and made her swear to tell no-one else.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr grew up with a physically abusive widower father. At some point in her teens, she got in the way of him harming her younger sister, after which an altercation happened and her father died. She does not feel guilt for his death, only the loss of innocence inflicted on her sister and the final shattering of her family. She has not seen her sister for about fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the intrusion in Titania's Oneiros was found - a disruption in her connection to her sister Rachel that manifests as a subtle nudge to the heartbeat of the representation of Rachel in the Oneiros. Titania's realisation that the disruption is in the connection and representation rather than Rachel herself lead Vánagandr to consider that the intrusions may be much more symbolic than she had first thought.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the Offices is even stranger than expected. Rather than returning to their own bodies after their astral journey, the Cabal instead physically ended up in the Corridor.&lt;br /&gt;
* The members of the cabal - still unnamed! - are starting to connect more through their experiences&lt;br /&gt;
** Wotann and Kassandra easily fall into friendly arguments and debate about music, or pass time with Twenty Questions.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania and Vánagandr have connected over shared experiences of pain. After the encounter with the Thorn Mother, Vánagandr apologised for using magic on Titania without asking and stated she does not want harm to come to those she considers important to her, leaving Titania uncertain what to make of the statement.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania was recognised in the Velvet Room as her mundane identity, Laura Fox.&lt;br /&gt;

In which dreams freeze over, and the cabal finds a wound hidden in a sleeping heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabal travelled to [[Titania’s Oneiros]]. At first glance, it appeared to be some sort of fairytale realm made up a blend of cartoon whimsy and folklore - something beautiful, polished and almost too perfect. The details did not hold up under examination with places growing less distinct the further they stood from [[Titania]], or the inhabitants remaining and still and immobile whenever outside of her line of sight.&lt;br /&gt;
* As the cabal searched for the intrusion, they found that its source lay somewhere within a strange frozen palace that hung over the heart of the realm. Titania was reluctant to approach it - that place was private, unimportant, and not relevant to the investigation. She was far more interested in showing the cabal the bright heart of her soul - her sister Rachel, perfect and precious, the princess of this fairytale place. When pressed about the palace and the need to continue, Titania became visibly distressed. Snow began to fall, and the realm started to freeze around them.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra]] was able to weave an area of warmth around the cabal to hold the cutting cold at bay but it could not hold forever. Or so [[Vánagandr]] argued, saying that the cabal needed to find the intrusion to understand what had been done to them. Titania was uncomfortable with this and the cold grew sharper as they proceeded toward the palace, only to find that the only way up to it - a narrow icy stairwell - had melted away beneath her Titania's doubt and desire to keep what lay in the palace unseen. Even attempting to appeal to the fairytale logic of the realm — urging her to believe in herself and trust that the way would hold — were not enough. Her fear shattered the ground around the palace, forcing the cabal to retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania admitted that she did not want to go inside. The palace was intensely private and secret, and she feared that what was contained in the palace would change how people saw her. Vánagandr eventually reached her by offering a truth for a truth, and a promise that she would not judge Titania for anything she saw. She told Titania, in oblique terms, about protecting her own younger sister: the death of her father, perhaps an accident, perhaps not; the fact that she felt no guilt for the death itself, only for the shattering of her sister’s innocence and the destruction of their family; and the fact that she had not seen her sister in roughly fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania accepted the truth given and offered one of her own. She agreed to enter the palace, but only with Vánagandr, and only on the promise that Vánagandr would not speak of what she saw inside. Kassandra and [[Wotann]] were asked to remain behind.&lt;br /&gt;
* This time stairs formed beneath Titania’s feet as she and Vánagandr approached. They ascended into the frozen palace and found the frozen remnants of a trailer park, frozen forever in a moment of rusting neglect. A further ascent took them to a bedroom, where another image of Rachel lay sleeping, still and pale as if close to death. Titania busied herself tidying the sleeping girl on the bed as she told the story.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania had grown up in that trailer park. Her parents cared little for her, and barely more for themselves, concerned mostly with their next high. Titania had escaped for a time, slipping into foster care, but eventually returned. When she did, she found Rachel, still only a baby, abandoned in filth and swaddled in multiple soiled nappies. Titania took her sister and ran. As she spoke, the pristine princess bedroom began to bleed into the stinking neglect of the trailer. Titania refused to let Rachel suffer as she had, even if that meant becoming overprotective, controlling, or more of a parent than a sister.&lt;br /&gt;
* During this, Vánagandr noticed the source of the intrusion. It was subtle: Rachel’s slow, shallow heartbeat. She quietly directed Titania to examine the sleeper herself, noting that Titania understood Fate more deeply than she did and might be able to perceive the true shape of the wrongness; a gentle lie to allow Titania to draw her own conclusion rather than forcing a hard truth upon her.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania did so, and saw that the alteration was not simply a matter of life or death. This was not Rachel herself, but the interpretation and representation of her as she was to Titania. The intrusion had changed whether Rachel was alive to Titania. In some other path, Titania and Rachel would be nothing to one another, though it was unclear whether that separation came from abandonment, death, estrangement, or something else. With this mind, Vánagandr wondered if she had been reading the intrusions too literally. Perhaps they were not simple wounds in memory or survival, but alterations to the meaning and consequence of decisive paths.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania, meanwhile, became lost in the tangle of thread and fate, trying to understand the nature of the separation. Something noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann and Kassandra saw it first: a female figure of porcelain, doll-like and beautiful, but filled with jagged thorns. It took offence at their presence and demanded to know whether they were the cause of Titania’s distress. When it realised that they were not, it proceeded toward the palace. Recognising the danger, Wotann enhanced his lungs and shouted a warning to those inside.&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania was too lost in the threads of Fate to understand or leave. Vánagandr tried to reach her, but by the time she began to get through, the porcelain and thorn figure had arrived and took Titania in a protective hug, fiercely protective and angry at Vánagandr for upsetting Titania so. Titania started to stir from her obsession but seemed to be under the spell of the figure, crying and calling it ''Mother'' as she pulled into its arms. Vánagandr, suspicious that this might be some dark impulse, hostile Goetia, or other threat within Titania’s soul, demanded that the figure leave Titania alone and wove a spell to lend some of her own confidence to the other woman. Titania spoke up to the porcelain figure and convinced it to let her go.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr realised that the figure was likely not a threat, but Titania’s daimon or some form of protective internal parent. She apologised for her sharpness and explained that she had been concerned the figure meant Titania harm. When Titania objected to the magic Vánagandr had used to bolster her, Vánagandr apologised again and said that she generally did not wish harm to come to those she considered important to her. Titania was left wondering what, exactly, that meant.&lt;br /&gt;
* Once Titania and Vánagandr returned to the others, interrupting Wotann and Kassandra’s extended game of Twenty Questions, the cabal looked for a way out. It was time to end the journey and decompress. Astral journeys are '''exhausting'''. A door was noticed, and with the symbolism obvious enough, they took it. They expected to wake from the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
* Instead, they found themselves in the Corridor. They also appeared to be physical which should have been impossible. Several tests to confirm the nature of their surroundings later, they made their way back to the Velvet Room. Vánagandr went downstairs to her sanctum to check whether their bodies were still present. For one moment she saw them, but when she blinked, they vanished. She spent the next half hour decompressing, finishing a much-needed scotch, reassembling the professional mask of presentation around herself, and studying where they had been before gathering herself to return upstairs to the others.&lt;br /&gt;
* Meanwhile, Kassandra was roped back into the shift she was already late for. She was at least able to make Titania an excellent Old Fashioned. A few people noticed Titania and recognised her mundane identity as Laura Fox, mildly famous private investigator. They attempted to take photographs before being distracted by Wotann.&lt;br /&gt;
* Around this time, [[Rachel Finnegan]] herself snuck into the Velvet Room using a fake ID, accompanied by a few friends. Tension quickly rose between the sisters. Frustrated by Titania’s attempts to control her life, Rachel complained that she was seventeen and could make her own decisions. She quickly corrected herself and claimed to be twenty-one, but Toni, the bouncer, overheard the admission and insisted that both sisters leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Titania's Oneiros was a place of carefully curated whimsy and positivity hiding painful secrets. The defining features are the idealisation of her sister Rachel, the hidden truths about her past, and an intensely protective maternal instinct. &lt;br /&gt;
* Some of Titania and Vánagandr's pasts were revealed.&lt;br /&gt;
** Titania grew up in a trailer park household to deeply neglectful parents. She eventually ran away, spent some time in foster care, before sneaking back to the trailer to rescue her baby sister. She has built much of her life and identity about ensuring that Rachel never suffers as she did. Titania only told this to Vánagandr and made her swear to tell no-one else.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr grew up with a physically abusive widower father. At some point in her teens, she got in the way of him harming her younger sister, after which an altercation happened and her father died. She does not feel guilt for his death, only the loss of innocence inflicted on her sister and the final shattering of her family. She has not seen her sister for about fifteen years.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the intrusion in Titania's Oneiros was found - a disruption in her connection to her sister Rachel that manifests as a subtle nudge to the heartbeat of the representation of Rachel in the Oneiros. Titania's realisation that the disruption is in the connection and representation rather than Rachel herself lead Vánagandr to consider that the intrusions may be much more symbolic than she had first thought.&lt;br /&gt;
* The nature of the Offices is even stranger than expected. Rather than returning to their own bodies after their astral journey, the Cabal instead physically ended up in the Corridor.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Ephemeral entities of Blackmouth encountered during the ''[[Hypolethia]]'' chronicle. In order of appearance, for now.&lt;br /&gt;

==The Rage Fragment==&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
==The Face in the Tree==&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
==The Wolf in Chains==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vánagandr]]'s daimon. &lt;br /&gt;
==The Bacchant Satyr==&lt;br /&gt;
A gigantic and monstrous satyr that appeared in [[Kassandra's Oneiros]]. It appeared only to [[Kassandra]], who saw it contemptuously murder the other members of the cabal before mocking her for what she thought might happen if she brought the unwanted and unwelcome into her soul. It continued to torment her, eventually driving her into a fit when she begged to join its dance, until the Soft Voice seemed to drive it away. [[Vánagandr]] saw it for a moment when trying to help Kassandra shake free of its influence, it mocked her as well as weak and worthless.&lt;br /&gt;
==The Soft Voice==&lt;br /&gt;
A voice heard only by [[Kassandra]] during the astral journey into her [[Kassandra's Oneiros|Oneiros]]. It soothed and calmed her after the fury and violation wrought by the satyr. Possibly the same voice she hears in her dreams. Possibly also her daimon.&lt;br /&gt;
==The Thorn Mother==&lt;br /&gt;
A humanoid figure made of polished porcelain and tight-coiled thorned vines that was encountered in [[Titania's Oneiros]]. She first manifested after [[Titania]] and [[Vánagandr]] entered the Castle of ice at the heart of the Oneiros, and was highly protective of Titania. Possibly Titania's daimon.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
In which four solitaries have become a cabal, and must deal with both mystery and consequence.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Time has passed since Dr Ponder was stopped from her butchery. The four have been &amp;quot;requested&amp;quot; by the [[Concilium of Arches|Concilium]] to act as keepers of the enigmatic site where the [[Poison Jar]] sits as it is not able to be safely moved. The room it occupies has been sealed and warded, but the site remains mysterious and unsafe for others to spend time there. Over the next month or so, things have started to stabilise into a new normal.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra]] took the embalming tools that she had acquired to ''Die Welt'' with intention of fencing them to its owner Marius Steinfaust; though they are not occult items, she believed they had value as antique and unusual items for sale to the sort of people that frequent the shop. This didn't work. Something about the tools seems unreal and strange and Marius did not wish to touch them. He was also unsettled by a recent interaction with four people who were seeking answers about weird dreams they had been sharing; successive tarot readings for them had come up with the exact same spread every time – The Tower reversed, The Moon, and 2 of Swords. &lt;br /&gt;
** Kassandra did a quick reading for Marius while she was there and yet again the 2 of Swords appeared. &lt;br /&gt;
** When Kassandra decided to return the tools to the Offices, she encountered [[Wotann]] carrying out his own investigations into the Corridor. It was noticed that the embalming room seemed unreal and incomplete, as it seen with a low resolution. This effect ended as soon as the tools were returned to the room.&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann had also been cataloguing and studying the greenhouse with intention of developing it into a laboratory and font of all manner of useful life to aid his research. The cultivar of lotus flowers growing there islike none he had ever seen, save for during his visions of the [[Primal Wild]] during his Awakening. There also appears to be more life in the greenhouse, including a rodent slumbering in small, blissful ratty dreams after eating some of one of the lotus petals. The atmosphere feels clearer since the room containing the Poison Jar has been sealed, and Dr Ponder taken away.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Titania]] has tried to focus on work but found herself lost in her secret concern about sundered destinies. She has studiously avoided telling anyone else about what she has discovered but finds herself drawn to noticing people who seem to have suffered that fate. With a little magical serendipity, she got close to someone who seemed to have no fate or destiny at all but found that they had no connection to Dr Ponder. So she &amp;quot;accidentally&amp;quot; borrowed the woman's pen, enchanted it with a minor boon of luck and then &amp;quot;luckily&amp;quot; managed to return it to her.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Vánagandr]] had been trying to understand the strange strong sympathetic connection between the four of them. She spent hours deep in the vaults of memory and shadowed thought within the neon-noir Contract Archive deep within her soul. She dug through her memories and found nothing deep enough to forge such connections, and through it all the Wolf in Chains watched with a sharp-toothed smirk. For a moment, while lost in thought, she saw another shape in the reflective metal facing her – the unbound hungry wolf-shape outsider that had stalked her dreams before her Awakening – and she was struck with a sense that it and the Offices felt similar somehow. Intrusions. Something from Outside pressing in. &lt;br /&gt;
* The four eventually started to connect and talk. There was discussion of going to see a baseball game using tickets that Titania acquired, which felt a little too corporate retreat for some. But they also spoke of their Awakenings and found more echoes of connection. They all awakened on the same date and perhaps around the same time. The waking world dreams they each experienced on the path to Awakening echoed in themes and motifs – pursuit, will, survival, and choice. Always choice. And choice has been haunting Kassandra's dreams recently.&lt;br /&gt;
* With all that in mind, Vánagandr suggested an investigation within, into their Oneiroi, to see it there are echoes of intrusion or Other lurking there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra]], [[Titania]], [[Vánagandr]] and [[Wotann]] have been &amp;quot;requested&amp;quot; by the [[Concilium of Arches|Concilium]] to act as keepers of the mysterious site currently simply referred to as the Office. They are still to formalise and name the nascent cabal that they have found themselves to be. &lt;br /&gt;
** Some things in the Offices appear to be out of place, lacking on reality, or associated with the Supernal rather than the Fallen world.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra is enough of a regular at ''Die Welt'' that its owner Marius knows her by name (Tara).&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra's tarot spread for Marius Steinfaust – The Devil, The Star (reversed), 2 of Swords.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Dr Candace Ponder|Dr Ponder]] has been handed over to the [[Guardians of the Veil]] for containment.&lt;br /&gt;
* More connections between the four have been established.&lt;br /&gt;
** All four of them Awakened on the same day and possibly at a similar time.&lt;br /&gt;
** They are the only mages who can spend time in the Offices or near the Poison Jar without negative effects.&lt;br /&gt;
** There are thematic similarities between the beats of their Awakenings.&lt;br /&gt;

In which guests are admitted, records are found, and Wotann’s oldest wound remembers otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabal, who still have not found a name for themselves, travelled to the Velvet Room in the southern edge of Fallon Heights. Due to the time of day – late Thursday afternoon – the club was not yet open but staff were present setting up. Vánagandr seemed slightly perturbed by this but continued. A knock on the door brought the attention of Toni, one of the door staff, who let them in.&lt;br /&gt;
** Toni recognised Vánagandr and Kassandra and addressed them with their names (Arianna and Tara), and seemed to recognise something about Titania. She mostly seemed nonplussed as Vánagandr lead the others into the backroom and then deeper.&lt;br /&gt;
* The backrooms of the Velvet Room include a barely-used storeroom where Vánagandr sometimes does mundane but illicit business. A locked door there leads down into the older basements of the building, part of the nebulous boundary region where the [[Blackmouth Vaults]] brush close to the surface world. Down past archways blocked with brick and rusted steel plate, Vánagandr stopped at one particular sealed former door and took the cabal through the obstruction with a spell. On the other side lay her sanctum.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a brief discussion of the plan – to enter Vánagandr's Oneiros and then use it as a bridge into each of the others in turn, and there to search for signs of this intrusion and wrongness – and rules for safety within the hungry realm that was Vánagandr's soul, she wove a spell of binding and connection and lead them onto the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr took a token from each of the others – one of Titania's business cards, a random playing card from Kassandra, and Wotann's ritual knife made from the claw of some supernal beast – and bound them in red silk around her own forearm. Then lead them into her sacred space and into meditation within&lt;br /&gt;
* They arrived into the rain-soaked and neon-lit cityscape that was the outer boundaries of [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]]. Someone commented on the dullness of a rainy city being inside of a soul and what it might say about Vánagandr. She shrugged and lead the way toward the places of power, letting herself be driven by intention. The Concierge met them at the reception, judging them each in turn and confirming with exacting detail that they were simply guests.&lt;br /&gt;
* The attempt to reach the Archives were delayed by uncertainty along the way and the elevator door opened wrongly, swinging wide rather than sliding open. Beyond lay the grotesquely neglected interior of a trailer, stinking with waste and filth, distorted as if from a child's perspective and woven through with thorny vines. None of them recognised this place and the vines grew hungrily closer to them with each denial of memory, until the door was slammed hard enough the slice the vines that had intruded. The severed vines hit the floor with the sound of fists on flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
* The elevator reached the Contract Archive and key records were sought and found – the strongest moment of connection between Vánagandr and each of the others in turn, manifested as photographs perfect for attaching to an evidence wall. &lt;br /&gt;
* They descended via the freight elevator to the twisted loading yard/subway station of Midnight Transit. Wotann's Oneiros was the first to visit, on the back of his photograph was a ticket for one of the trains idling at the station. Departing on it, the train slowly stretched and compressed as the tunnel above gained texture, colour and light. The cabin became an army jeep with Wotann at the wheel and all three, besides Vánagandr, dressed in French Foreign Legion fatigues, rumbling along a rugged jungle road across rich red African earth. Eventually the jungle opened into a clearing with a sprawling European building woven through with a gargantuan tree whose branches reached into the heavens and whose roots spread out to the jungle all around, sampling and sorting and examining everything in order.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seeking the intrusion or irregularity, Titania cast a spell to shift the odds and lead them to what they sought with only a minor bite from Paradox as the cost of her magic. A thread of echoes, evidence, dream fragments, and lines from research paper leads them onto a path deeper into the jungle, through the night and on to a savannah and the sounds of gunfire. &lt;br /&gt;
* They see a memory well-known to Wotann. This is the night that his patrol was cut apart by some monstrous predator, leaving him as the only survivor and sparking the obsession that lead to his Awakening. But the memory is wrong. The creature – sinuous and black, monstrous and predatory in a way that feels familiar to Vánagandr without triggering recognition – hunts and cuts down a dozen men as if enjoying itself. Not like a predator seeking to feed or drive away an intruder, but like something simply seeking to cause pain and harm. And at the climax of the memory, where Wotann should see his miraculous survival, he instead sees the creature murder him and his body rise as another thing like it. Then the memory flickers and replays and this time it is as he remembers it. Survival with no explanation why. &lt;br /&gt;
** The memory of living through the attack is the thing that feels like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* And one of the nearby trees, still stained red with ordure of a dead legionnaire, opens into a face like Wotann's own – Wotann's daimon reaching out from the great tree in the heart of his soul. It speaks to him with a measured, calm voice, commenting on the uncertainty of memory, that perhaps the first vision was an attempt to understand the unlikely survival that has haunted him. Survivors guilt woven with obsession and trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann has some prior experience with astral journeying, while Kassandra and Titania have none.&lt;br /&gt;
* There are signs of an intrusion in Wotann's Oneiros. A sense of wrongness about the memory of the event that started his path toward Awakening.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr maintains a small secure sanctum in the buried roots of the building housing the Velvet Room. She has made part of that sanctum into a demesne using a soul stone of her own creation.&lt;br /&gt;
* None of the cabal recognises the thorn-filled trailer. Vánagandr theorised it was one of the others memories creeping in through the binding that began the astral journey; she has her suspicions that it was Titania's memory but did not say anything. &lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr was quietly unsettled by the fist-on-flesh sound of the vines hitting the floor, but also said nothing.&lt;br /&gt;

In which the cabal follows a road of dead possibilities, and two souls reveal what has been taken from them.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuing the astral journey, the cabal intended to return to [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]] but things did not go as intended. The jeep they had used as metaphor of travel slipped out of Wotann's control and careened into the jungles that seemed to be the natural bounds for his soul. The terrain grew wilder as the vehicle picked up speed. Images of other paths the jeep could have taken spread out like possibilities to the left and right with each ending in a violent collision, smashed and wrapped around a tree, and each filled with what appeared to be their own bodies broken and dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over one last rise and the forest disappeared into craggy hills filled with ancient Greek ruins built upon rough-hewn ground where trees had been uprooted and the land remained wounded. They had reached [[Kassandra's Oneiros]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr's sense for trauma (her praxis Scars in the Wallpaper) told her that this was a place devastated by long term human exploitation and dominance, but the despoilers were long gone and the realm had since scarred over and regrown with ruined imagery.&lt;br /&gt;
* The entire cabal began to see images of their own deaths by sudden and brutal means. This was an unsettling experience for all besides Kassandra, who has been seeing such visions for so long that she has stopped reacting to the horror. She spoke of her past, how she had always seen such things, of how her parents had tried to milk fame and fortune from her visions. And how, in the end, she had foreseen their deaths in a car accident and chosen not to tell them.&lt;br /&gt;
* As they were talking, they walked and found a great banquet table in the middle of an olive grove. There, Kassandra became overcome with a vision. A deific entity in the shape of a monstrous and gigantic satyr appeared, holding a great spear and an amphora of wine, and it proceeded to murder the other members of the cabal  before drinking wine from one of their severed skulls. It contemptuously asked her what she thought was going to happen when she brought unwanted people here, tormenting her and driving her into a fit as she begged to join its dance. The others tried to help her come out of it but it only passed when another, calmer voice spoke to Kassandra and guided her back to awkward, pained consciousness. And only then did they realise one of their number was missing...&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr had tried to help Kassandra by weaving a spell of shielding to protect the younger woman's mind from the pain and intrusion tormenting her. The spell failed, forming improperly and lashing her with both the contemptuous abuse of the satyr and the full force of Kassandra's tempestuous emotions. Overwhelmed by this and her own inability to help, she slipped while the others attended to Kassandra's medical needs, trailing a chain of pained memories and bloody words as she stalked deeper into the Oneiros in search of the intrusion into the young woman's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
* The others found her in the greatest ruin of the Oneiros, an elegant and magnificent heap of fallen glory. At its heart lay a statue that bore all the mythic symbolism of Dionysus, leaning atop a smaller statue of a woman with Kassandra's face. As the others contemplated the psychological symbolism of this, Vánagandr remained lost in her own fugue and a rising obsession to find the thing that was missing inside Kassandra, eventually tearing a path into her own Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** In her digging, she found something. Hidden in the ruin of trauma was a sense that something had been stolen from the Oneiros. A destiny or future perhaps, and not simply by mundane horror. This absence felt like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The world collapsed under the four of them, pitching them down through darkness and into cold rain. Onto a wrought iron balcony high above a cityscape that bled under a crimson-tinged stormcloud sky. Behind them lay doors into a penthouse suite, and a presence drawing close.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Vánagandr remained insensate and overwhelmed, the others were met by a woman that wore her face but spoke with smooth amusement and barbs beneath her words. She knew that the incident with the distorted trailer and that it had come from Kassandra's memories. And she commented that as much as Vánagandr would not like it, perhaps she should show the others where her intrusive trauma lies. Since she is ''so'' set on tearing open all their pain for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr grudgingly agreed, reasserting her professional mask and trying to establish distance from her erratic actions. Shame is as easily buried as any other emotion, after all. She apologised for her behaviour though did not explain herself and identified the other her as her daimon, ''the Wolf in Chains'', though she did not explain the name. The city beyond the penthouse windows seemed to have lost some of its incoherence by the time they took the elevator down.&lt;br /&gt;
* She led the cabal down into a sprawling place of mirrors, each depicting a slightly different version of her in the reflection. A thousand facets and shapes, identities and attempts at a self, all arrayed out in every reflective surface. The path led them to one in particular, a mirror and a memory, of her Awakening...&lt;br /&gt;
* The woman in the mirror is Vánagandr worn raw and stripped of the armour of professional intensity that she wears against the world. It is simply Arianna Dray - sleepless and ragged and holding herself together by will and determination alone - staring into and out of the cracked mirror of a nightclub bathroom. As the cabal watches, the mirror grows and sprawls out to fill much of their vision, and something that had appeared to be the mirror woman’s shadow flows closer. It is a shapeless thing that scratches the back of the mind like primal memory of facing a predator, growing larger and more dominant with each heartbeat. It flows larger like the shadow of something vast beyond measure drawing closer to the surface its shadow is cast upon. As it grows it usurps and consumes the image of the memory, reshaping it into a distorted image of Vánagandr herself, spitting fury and promising to devour them all.&lt;br /&gt;
** In that moment, Vánagandr felt the sense of unreality that the intrusion set in her bones shift. It was not the intrusion here. ''She was.'' Everything felt wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
* And as darkness fell upon them all like the shadow of death seeking its prey, they desperately tried to reach Titania’s Oneiros so they could complete this journey before more harm was wrought on their souls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra has been seeing visions of impending deaths for much of her life. Her parents attempted without success to monetise this for their own benefit, and died after Kassandra chose not to tell them about their impending deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
* When beset by the satyr in her vision she asked if she could join the dance with it, at which point she began to go into a fit.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Vánagandr was overwhelmed in Kassandra's Oneiros, she left a trail. Fragments of angry abusive words and glass-shard jagged memories bled into the air in her wake, rasping like rusted iron.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wolf in Chains seems to know more than it should, or perhaps it speaks with more confidence about its guesses than Vánagandr&lt;br /&gt;
* The shape of Vánagandr's Oneiros changes distinctly depending on her emotional state, with an alien cityscape choked by crimson storm-clouds pushing in at the edges when she was overwhelmed by the events in Kassandra's Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** This alien cityscape was confirmed OOCly to resembles the [[Empty City]]&lt;br /&gt;
* More details on the shapes of the intrusions&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr felt that the intrusion in Kassandra's Oneiros was that some sort of fate or destiny had been cut away but the details were buried under the traumatic damage to Kassandra's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr also shared her first memory of intrusion - part of the encounter during her Awakening - but felt unsettled and partly consumed by it, such that she felt like the intrusion in her own self.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People Appearing (in order of appearance)==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Kassandra]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Titania]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Vánagandr]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Wotann]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* The demonic satyr, ecstatic and controlling. (''seen only by Kassandra, aside from a glimpse by Vánagandr'')&lt;br /&gt;
* A calm voice. (''heard only by Kassandra'')&lt;br /&gt;
* [[The Wolf in Chains]], shared a cigarette with Kassandra and seemed to know more than she should.&lt;br /&gt;
* A hungry predatory shape, raging and furious in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra's Oneiros]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The Temple of Dionysus and Hope&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The Bound Suite, the Mirror Rooms&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr suffered a dramatic failure when casting her spell and gained the Spooked condition. That combined with her vice of Pride drove her to go off alone to seek answers. Mental contact with Kassandra's pain and the sharp personal trauma of not being able to help someone who was suffering in a very familiar way drove her obsession into a fugue.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Experience:''' total given so far in the Chronicle is 4 mundane and 3 arcane.&lt;br /&gt;

In which the cabal follows a road of dead possibilities, and two souls reveal what has been taken from them.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuing the astral journey, the cabal intended to return to [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]] but things did not go as intended. The jeep they had used as metaphor of travel slipped out of Wotann's control and careened into the jungles that seemed to be the natural bounds for his soul. The terrain grew wilder as the vehicle picked up speed. Images of other paths the jeep could have taken spread out like possibilities to the left and right with each ending in a violent collision, smashed and wrapped around a tree, and each filled with what appeared to be their own bodies broken and dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over one last rise and the forest disappeared into craggy hills filled with ancient Greek ruins built upon rough-hewn ground where trees had been uprooted and the land remained wounded. They had reached [[Kassandra's Oneiros]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr's sense for trauma (her praxis Scars in the Wallpaper) told her that this was a place devastated by long term human exploitation and dominance, but the despoilers were long gone and the realm had since scarred over and regrown with ruined imagery.&lt;br /&gt;
* The entire cabal began to see images of their own deaths by sudden and brutal means. This was an unsettling experience for all besides Kassandra, who has been seeing such visions for so long that she has stopped reacting to the horror. She spoke of her past, how she had always seen such things, of how her parents had tried to milk fame and fortune from her visions. And how, in the end, she had foreseen their deaths in a car accident and chosen not to tell them.&lt;br /&gt;
* As they were talking, they walked and found a great banquet table in the middle of an olive grove. There, Kassandra became overcome with a vision. A deific entity in the shape of a monstrous and gigantic satyr appeared, holding a great spear and an amphora of wine, and it proceeded to murder the other members of the cabal  before drinking wine from one of their severed skulls. It contemptuously asked her what she thought was going to happen when she brought unwanted people here, tormenting her and driving her into a fit as she begged to join its dance. The others tried to help her come out of it but it only passed when another, calmer voice spoke to Kassandra and guided her back to awkward, pained consciousness. And only then did they realise one of their number was missing...&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr had tried to help Kassandra by weaving a spell of shielding to protect the younger woman's mind from the pain and intrusion tormenting her. The spell failed, forming improperly and lashing her with both the contemptuous abuse of the satyr and the full force of Kassandra's tempestuous emotions. Overwhelmed by this and her own inability to help, she slipped while the others attended to Kassandra's medical needs, trailing a chain of pained memories and bloody words as she stalked deeper into the Oneiros in search of the intrusion into the young woman's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
* The others found her in the greatest ruin of the Oneiros, an elegant and magnificent heap of fallen glory. At its heart lay a statue that bore all the mythic symbolism of Dionysus, leaning atop a smaller statue of a woman with Kassandra's face. As the others contemplated the psychological symbolism of this, Vánagandr remained lost in her own fugue and a rising obsession to find the thing that was missing inside Kassandra, eventually tearing a path into her own Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** In her digging, she found something. Hidden in the ruin of trauma was a sense that something had been stolen from the Oneiros. A destiny or future perhaps, and not simply by mundane horror. This absence felt like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The world collapsed under the four of them, pitching them down through darkness and into cold rain. Onto a wrought iron balcony high above a cityscape that bled under a crimson-tinged stormcloud sky. Behind them lay doors into a penthouse suite, and a presence drawing close.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Vánagandr remained insensate and overwhelmed, the others were met by a woman that wore her face but spoke with smooth amusement and barbs beneath her words. She knew that the incident with the distorted trailer and that it had come from Kassandra's memories. And she commented that as much as Vánagandr would not like it, perhaps she should show the others where her intrusive trauma lies. Since she is ''so'' set on tearing open all their pain for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr grudgingly agreed, reasserting her professional mask and trying to establish distance from her erratic actions. Shame is as easily buried as any other emotion, after all. She apologised for her behaviour though did not explain herself and identified the other her as her daimon, ''the Wolf in Chains'', though she did not explain the name. The city beyond the penthouse windows seemed to have lost some of its incoherence by the time they took the elevator down.&lt;br /&gt;
* She led the cabal down into a sprawling place of mirrors, each depicting a slightly different version of her in the reflection. A thousand facets and shapes, identities and attempts at a self, all arrayed out in every reflective surface. The path led them to one in particular, a mirror and a memory, of her Awakening...&lt;br /&gt;
* The woman in the mirror is Vánagandr worn raw and stripped of the armour of professional intensity that she wears against the world. It is simply Arianna Dray - sleepless and ragged and holding herself together by will and determination alone - staring into and out of the cracked mirror of a nightclub bathroom. As the cabal watches, the mirror grows and sprawls out to fill much of their vision, and something that had appeared to be the mirror woman’s shadow flows closer. It is a shapeless thing that scratches the back of the mind like primal memory of facing a predator, growing larger and more dominant with each heartbeat. It flows larger like the shadow of something vast beyond measure drawing closer to the surface its shadow is cast upon. As it grows it usurps and consumes the image of the memory, reshaping it into a distorted image of Vánagandr herself, spitting fury and promising to devour them all.&lt;br /&gt;
** In that moment, Vánagandr felt the sense of unreality that the intrusion set in her bones shift. It was not the intrusion here. ''She was.'' Everything felt wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
* And as darkness fell upon them all like the shadow of death seeking its prey, they desperately tried to reach Titania’s Oneiros so they could complete this journey before more harm was wrought on their souls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra has been seeing visions of impending deaths for much of her life. Her parents attempted without success to monetise this for their own benefit, and died after Kassandra chose not to tell them about their impending deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
* When beset by the satyr in her vision she asked if she could join the dance with it, at which point she began to go into a fit.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Vánagandr was overwhelmed in Kassandra's Oneiros, she left a trail. Fragments of angry abusive words and glass-shard jagged memories bled into the air in her wake, rasping like rusted iron.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wolf in Chains seems to know more than it should, or perhaps it speaks with more confidence about its guesses than Vánagandr&lt;br /&gt;
* The shape of Vánagandr's Oneiros changes distinctly depending on her emotional state, with an alien cityscape choked by crimson storm-clouds pushing in at the edges when she was overwhelmed by the events in Kassandra's Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** This alien cityscape was confirmed OOCly to resembles the [[Empty City]]&lt;br /&gt;
* More details on the shapes of the intrusions&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr felt that the intrusion in Kassandra's Oneiros was that some sort of fate or destiny had been cut away but the details were buried under the traumatic damage to Kassandra's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr also shared her first memory of intrusion - part of the encounter during her Awakening - but felt unsettled and partly consumed by it, such that she felt like the intrusion in her own self.&lt;br /&gt;

In which the cabal follows a road of dead possibilities, and two souls reveal what has been taken from them.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuing the astral journey, the cabal intended to return to [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]] but things did not go as intended. The jeep they had used as metaphor of travel slipped out of Wotann's control and careened into the jungles that seemed to be the natural bounds for his soul. The terrain grew wilder as the vehicle picked up speed. Images of other paths the jeep could have taken spread out like possibilities to the left and right with each ending in a violent collision, smashed and wrapped around a tree, and each filled with what appeared to be their own bodies broken and dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over one last rise and the forest disappeared into craggy hills filled with ancient Greek ruins built upon rough-hewn ground where trees had been uprooted and the land remained wounded. They had reached [[Kassandra's Oneiros]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr's sense for trauma (her praxis Scars in the Wallpaper) told her that this was a place devastated by long term human exploitation and dominance, but the despoilers were long gone and the realm had since scarred over and regrown with ruined imagery.&lt;br /&gt;
* The entire cabal began to see images of their own deaths by sudden and brutal means. This was an unsettling experience for all besides Kassandra, who has been seeing such visions for so long that she has stopped reacting to the horror. She spoke of her past, how she had always seen such things, of how her parents had tried to milk fame and fortune from her visions. And how, in the end, she had foreseen their deaths in a car accident and chosen not to tell them.&lt;br /&gt;
* As they were talking, Kassandra became overcome with a vision. A deific entity in the shape of a monstrous and gigantic satyr appeared to murder the other members of the cabal with an immense spear. It contemptuously asked her what she thought was going to happen when she brought unwanted people here, tormenting her and driving her into a fit. The others tried to help her come out of it but it only passed when another, calmer voice spoke to Kassandra and guided her back to awkward, pained consciousness. And only then did they realise one of their number was missing...&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr had tried to help Kassandra by weaving a spell of shielding to protect the younger woman's mind from the pain and intrusion tormenting her. The spell failed, forming improperly and lashing her with both the contemptuous abuse of the satyr and the full force of Kassandra's tempestuous emotions. Overwhelmed by this and her own inability to help, she slipped while the others attended to Kassandra's medical needs, trailing a chain of pained memories and bloody words as she stalked deeper into the Oneiros in search of the intrusion into the young woman's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
* The others found her in the greatest ruin of the Oneiros, an elegant and magnificent heap of fallen glory. At its heart lay a statue that bore all the mythic symbolism of Dionysus, leaning atop a smaller statue of a woman with Kassandra's face. As the others contemplated the psychological symbolism of this, Vánagandr remained lost in her own fugue and a rising obsession to find the thing that was missing inside Kassandra, eventually tearing a path into her own Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** In her digging, she found something. Hidden in the ruin of trauma was a sense that something had been stolen from the Oneiros. A destiny or future perhaps, and not simply by mundane horror. This absence felt like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The world collapsed under the four of them, pitching them down through darkness and into cold rain. Onto a wrought iron balcony high above a cityscape that bled under a crimson-tinged stormcloud sky. Behind them lay doors into a penthouse suite, and a presence drawing close.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Vánagandr remained insensate and overwhelmed, the others were met by a woman that wore her face but spoke with smooth amusement and barbs beneath her words. She knew that the incident with the distorted trailer and that it had come from Kassandra's memories. And she commented that as much as Vánagandr would not like it, perhaps she should show the others where her intrusive trauma lies. Since she is ''so'' set on tearing open all their pain for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr grudgingly agreed, reasserting her professional mask and trying to establish distance from her erratic actions. Shame is as easily buried as any other emotion, after all. She apologised for her behaviour though did not explain herself and identified the other her as her daimon, the Wolf in Chains, though she did not explain the name. The city beyond the penthouse windows seemed to have lost some of its incoherence by the time they took the elevator down.&lt;br /&gt;
* She led the cabal down into a sprawling place of mirrors, each depicting a slightly different version of her in the reflection. A thousand facets and shapes, identities and attempts at a self, all arrayed out in every reflective surface. The path led them to one in particular, a mirror and a memory, of her Awakening...&lt;br /&gt;
* The woman in the mirror is Vánagandr worn raw and stripped of the armour of professional intensity that she wears against the world. It is simply Arianna Dray - sleepless and ragged and holding herself together by will and determination alone - staring into and out of the cracked mirror of a nightclub bathroom. As the cabal watches, the mirror grows and sprawls out to fill much of their vision, and something that had appeared to be the mirror woman’s shadow flows closer. It is a shapeless thing that scratches the back of the mind like primal memory of facing a predator, growing larger and more dominant with each heartbeat. It flows larger like the shadow of something vast beyond measure drawing closer to the surface its shadow is cast upon. As it grows it usurps and consumes the image of the memory, reshaping it into a distorted image of Vánagandr herself, spitting fury and promising to devour them all.&lt;br /&gt;
** In that moment, Vánagandr felt the sense of unreality that the intrusion set in her bones shift. It was not the intrusion here, she was. Everything felt wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
*And as darkness fell upon them all like the shadow of destined death seeking its prey, they desperately tried to reach Titania’s Oneiros so they could complete this journey before more harm was wrought on their souls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra has been seeing visions of impending deaths for much of her life. Her parents attempted without success to monetise this for their own benefit, and died after Kassandra chose not to tell them about their impending deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
* When beset by the satyr in her vision she asked if she could join the dance with it, at which point she began to go into a fit.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Vánagandr was overwhelmed in Kassandra's Oneiros, she left a trail. Fragments of angry abusive words and glass-shard jagged memories bled into the air in her wake, rasping like rusted iron.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wolf in Chains seems to know more than it should, or perhaps it speaks with more confidence about its guesses than Vánagandr&lt;br /&gt;
* The shape of Vánagandr's Oneiros changes distinctly depending on her emotional state, with an alien cityscape choked by crimson storm-clouds pushing in at the edges when she was overwhelmed by the events in Kassandra's Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** This alien cityscape was confirmed OOCly to resembles the [[Empty City]]&lt;br /&gt;
* More details on the shapes of the intrusions&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr felt that the intrusion in Kassandra's Oneiros was that some sort of fate or destiny had been cut away but the details were buried under the traumatic damage to Kassandra's soul.&lt;br /&gt;

In which guests are admitted, records are found, and Wotann’s oldest wound remembers otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* The cabal, who still have not found a name for themselves, travelled to the Velvet Room in the southern edge of Fallon Heights. Due to the time of day – late Thursday afternoon – the club was not yet open but staff were present setting up. Vánagandr seemed slightly perturbed by this but continued. A knock on the door brought the attention of Toni, one of the door staff, who let them in.&lt;br /&gt;
** Toni recognised Vánagandr and Kassandra and addressed them with their names (Arianna and Tara), and seemed to recognise something about Titania. She mostly seemed nonplussed as Vánagandr lead the others into the backroom and then deeper.&lt;br /&gt;
* The backrooms of the Velvet Room include a barely-used storeroom where Vánagandr sometimes does mundane but illicit business. A locked door there leads down into the older basements of the building, part of the nebulous boundary region where the [[Blackmouth Vaults]] brush close to the surface world. Down past archways blocked with brick and rusted steel plate, Vánagandr stopped at one particular sealed former door and took the cabal through the obstruction with a spell. On the other side lay her sanctum.&lt;br /&gt;
* After a brief discussion of the plan – to enter Vánagandr's Oneiros and then use it as a bridge into each of the others in turn, and there to search for signs of this intrusion and wrongness – and rules for safety within the hungry realm that was Vánagandr's soul, she wove a spell of binding and connection and lead them onto the astral journey.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr took a token from each of the others – one of Titania's business cards, a random playing card from Kassandra, and Wotann's ritual knife made from the claw of some supernal beast – and bound them in red silk around her own forearm. Then lead them into her sacred space and into meditation within&lt;br /&gt;
* They arrived into the rain-soaked and neon-lit cityscape that was the outer boundaries of [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]]. Someone commented on the dullness of a rainy city being inside of a soul and what it might say about Vánagandr. She shrugged and lead the way toward the places of power, letting herself be driven by intention. The Concierge met them at the reception, judging them each in turn and confirming with exacting detail that they were simply guests.&lt;br /&gt;
* The attempt to reach the Archives were delayed by uncertainty along the way and the elevator door opened wrongly, swinging wide rather than sliding open. Beyond lay the grotesquely neglected interior of a trailer, stinking with waste and filth, distorted as if from a child's perspective and woven through with thorny vines. None of them recognised this place and the vines grew hungrily closer to them with each denial of memory, until the door was slammed hard enough the slice the vines that had intruded. The severed vines hit the floor with the sound of fists on flesh.&lt;br /&gt;
* The elevator reached the Contract Archive and key records were sought and found – the strongest moment of connection between Vánagandr and each of the others in turn, manifested as photographs perfect for attaching to an evidence wall. &lt;br /&gt;
* They descended via the freight elevator to the twisted loading yard/subway station of Midnight Transit. Wotann's Oneiros was the first to visit, on the back of his photograph was a ticket for one of the trains idling at the station. Departing on it, the train slowly stretched and compressed as the tunnel above gained texture, colour and light. The cabin became an army jeep with Wotann at the wheel and all three, besides Vánagandr, dressed in French Foreign Legion fatigues, rumbling along a rugged jungle road across rich red African earth. Eventually the jungle opened into a clearing with a sprawling European building woven through with a gargantuan tree whose branches reached into the heavens and whose roots spread out to the jungle all around, sampling and sorting and examining everything in order.&lt;br /&gt;
* Seeking the intrusion or irregularity, Titania cast a spell to shift the odds and lead them to what they sought with only a minor bite from Paradox as the cost of her magic. A thread of echoes, evidence, dream fragments, and lines from research paper leads them onto a path deeper into the jungle, through the night and on to a savannah and the sounds of gunfire. &lt;br /&gt;
* They see a memory well-known to Wotann. This is the night that his patrol was cut apart by some monstrous predator, leaving him as the only survivor and sparking the obsession that lead to his Awakening. But the memory is wrong. The creature – sinuous and black, monstrous and predatory in a way that feels familiar to Vánagandr without triggering recognition – hunts and cuts down a dozen men as if enjoying itself. Not like a predator seeking to feed or drive away an intruder, but like something simply seeking to cause pain and harm. And at the climax of the memory, where Wotann should see his miraculous survival, he instead sees the creature murder him and his body rise as another thing like it. Then the memory flickers and replays and this time it is as he remembers it. Survival with no explanation why. &lt;br /&gt;
** The memory of living through the attack is the thing that feels like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* And one of the nearby trees, still stained red with ordure of a dead legionnaire, opens into a face like Wotann's own – Wotann's daimon reaching out from the great tree in the heart of his soul. It speaks to him with a measured, calm voice, commenting on the uncertainty of memory, that perhaps the first vision was an attempt to understand the unlikely survival that has haunted him. Survivors guilt woven with obsession and trauma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Wotann has some prior experience with astral journeying, while Kassandra and Titania have none.&lt;br /&gt;
* There are signs of an intrusion in Wotann's Oneiros. A sense of wrongness about the memory of the event that started his path toward Awakening.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr maintains a small secure sanctum in the buried roots of the building housing the Velvet Room. She has made part of that sanctum into a demesne using a soul stone of her own creation.&lt;br /&gt;
* None of the cabal recognises the thorn-filled trailer. Vánagandr theorised it was one of the others memories creeping in through the binding that began the astral journey; she has her suspicions that it was Titania's memory but did not say anything. &lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr was quietly unsettled by the fist-on-flesh sound of the vines hitting the floor, but also said nothing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In which the cabal follows a road of dead possibilities, and two souls reveal what has been taken from them.&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuing the astral journey, the cabal intended to return to [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]] but things did not go as intended. The jeep they had used as metaphor of travel slipped out of Wotann's control and careened into the jungles that seemed to be the natural bounds for his soul. The terrain grew wilder as the vehicle picked up speed. Images of other paths the jeep could have taken spread out like possibilities to the left and right with each ending in a violent collision, smashed and wrapped around a tree, and each filled with what appeared to be their own bodies broken and dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over one last rise and the forest disappeared into craggy hills filled with ancient Greek ruins built upon rough-hewn ground where trees had been uprooted and the land remained wounded. They had reached [[Kassandra's Oneiros]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr's sense for trauma (her praxis Scars in the Wallpaper) told her that this was a place devastated by long term human exploitation and dominance, but the despoilers were long gone and the realm had since scarred over and regrown with ruined imagery.&lt;br /&gt;
* The entire cabal began to see images of their own deaths by sudden and brutal means. This was an unsettling experience for all besides Kassandra, who has been seeing such visions for so long that she has stopped reacting to the horror. She spoke of her past, how she had always seen such things, of how her parents had tried to milk fame and fortune from her visions. And how, in the end, she had foreseen their deaths in a car accident and chosen not to tell them.&lt;br /&gt;
* As they were talking, Kassandra became overcome with a vision. A deific entity in the shape of a monstrous and gigantic satyr appeared to murder the other members of the cabal with an immense spear. It contemptuously asked her what she thought was going to happen when she brought unwanted people here, tormenting her and driving her into a fit. The others tried to help her come out of it but it only passed when another, calmer voice spoke to Kassandra and guided her back to awkward, pained consciousness. And only then did they realise one of their number was missing...&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr had tried to help Kassandra by weaving a spell of shielding to protect the younger woman's mind from the pain and intrusion tormenting her. The spell failed, forming improperly and lashing Vánagandr with both the contemptuous abuse of the satyr and the full force of Kassandra's tempestuous emotions. Overwhelmed by this and her own inability to help, she slipped while the others attended to Kassandra's medical needs, trailing a chain of pained memories and bloody words as she stalked deeper into the Oneiros in search of the intrusion into the young woman's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
* The others found her in the greatest ruin of the Oneiros, an elegant and magnificent heap of fallen glory. At its heart lay a statue that bore all the mythic symbolism of Dionysus, leaning atop a smaller statue of a woman with Kassandra's face. As the others contemplated the psychological symbolism of this, Vánagandr remained lost in her own fugue and a rising obsession to find the thing that was missing inside Kassandra, eventually tearing a path into her own Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** In her digging, she found something. Hidden in the ruin of trauma was a sense that something had been stolen from the Oneiros. A destiny or future perhaps, and not simply by mundane horror. This absence felt like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The world collapsed under the four of them, pitching them down through darkness and into cold rain. Onto a wrought iron balcony high above a cityscape that bled under a crimson-tinged stormcloud sky. Behind them lay doors into a penthouse suite, and a presence drawing close.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Vánagandr remained insensate and overwhelmed, the others were met by a woman that wore her face but spoke with smooth amusement and barbs beneath her words. She knew that the incident with the distorted trailer and that it had come from Kassandra's memories. And she commented that as much as Vánagandr would not like it, perhaps she should show the others where her intrusive trauma lies. Since she is ''so'' set on tearing open all their pain for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr grudgingly agreed, reasserting her professional mask and trying to establish distance from her erratic actions. Shame is as easily buried as any other emotion, after all. She apologised for her behaviour though did not explain herself and identified the other her as her daimon, the Wolf in Chains, though she did not explain the name. The city beyond the penthouse windows seemed to have lost some of its incoherence by the time they took the elevator down.&lt;br /&gt;
* She led the cabal down into a sprawling place of mirrors, each depicting a slightly different version of her in the reflection. A thousand facets and shapes, identities and attempts at a self, all arrayed out in every reflective surface. The path led them to one in particular, a mirror and a memory, of her Awakening...&lt;br /&gt;
* The woman in the mirror is Vánagandr worn raw and stripped of the armour of professional intensity that she wears against the world. It is simply Arianna Dray - sleepless and ragged and holding herself together by will and determination alone - staring into and out of the cracked mirror of a nightclub bathroom. As the cabal watches, the mirror grows and sprawls out to fill much of their vision, and something that had appeared to be the mirror woman’s shadow flows closer. It is a shapeless thing that scratches the back of the mind like primal memory of facing a predator, growing larger and more dominant with each heartbeat. It flows larger like the shadow of something vast beyond measure drawing closer to the surface its shadow is cast upon. As it grows it usurps and consumes the image of the memory, reshaping it into a distorted image of Vánagandr herself, spitting fury and promising to devour them all.&lt;br /&gt;
** In that moment, Vánagandr felt the sense of unreality that the intrusion set in her bones shift. It was not the intrusion here, she was. Everything felt wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
*And as darkness fell upon them all like the shadow of destined death seeking its prey, they desperately tried to reach Titania’s Oneiros so they could complete this journey before more harm was wrought on their souls.&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra has been seeing visions of impending deaths for much of her life. Her parents attempted without success to monetise this for their own benefit, and died after Kassandra chose not to tell them about their impending deaths.&lt;br /&gt;
* When beset by the satyr in her vision she asked if she could join the dance with it, at which point she began to go into a fit.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Vánagandr was overwhelmed in Kassandra's Oneiros, she left a trail. Fragments of angry abusive words and glass-shard jagged memories bled into the air in her wake, rasping like rusted iron.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wolf in Chains seems to know more than it should, or perhaps it speaks with more confidence about its guesses than Vánagandr&lt;br /&gt;
* The shape of Vánagandr's Oneiros changes distinctly depending on her emotional state, with an alien cityscape choked by crimson storm-clouds pushing in at the edges when she was overwhelmed by the events in Kassandra's Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** This alien cityscape was confirmed OOCly to resembles the [[Empty City]]&lt;br /&gt;
* More details on the shapes of the intrusions&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr felt that the intrusion in Kassandra's Oneiros was that some sort of fate or destiny had been cut away but the details were buried under the traumatic damage to Kassandra's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr also shared her first memory of intrusion - part of the encounter during her Awakening - but felt unsettled and partly consumed by it, such that she felt like the intrusion in her own self.&lt;br /&gt;

''And they got to meet the wolf in chains who proved to be charming, confident and barbed in her speech. She implied things and suggested that perhaps Vánagandr should show the others her own hidden intrusion so that they could understand. So that is what they did, going into the mirror room and there they saw a memory of her just before awakening and behind that image of her was a shapeless predatory thing that felt like it was drawing closer. The intrusion. As they watched it consumed and usurped the image of the memory, shaping it into a distorted version of Vánagandr that railed and threatened and promised that it would devour them all. And as it did this, it no longer felt like the intrusion. Vánagandr felt herself to be the intrusion, though I’m not sure if it was herself or her self. Everything felt wrong. And as darkness fell upon them, they tried to reach Titania’s soul so that they could finish this astral journey before too much harm was done''&lt;br /&gt;

In which '''TO BE COMPLETED'''&lt;br /&gt;
==What Happened==&lt;br /&gt;
* Continuing the astral journey, the cabal intended to return to [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]] but things did not go as intended. The jeep they had used as metaphor of travel slipped out of Wotann's control and careened into the jungles that seemed to be the natural bound for his soul. The terrain grew wilder as the vehicle picked up speed. Images of other paths the jeep could have taken spread out like possibilities to the left and right with each ending in a violent collision, smashed and wrapped around a tree, and each filled with what appeared to be their own bodies broken and dead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Over one last rise and the forest disappeared into craggy hills filled with ancient Greek ruins build upon rough-hewn ground where trees had been uprooted and the land remained wounded. They had reached [[Kassandra's Oneiros]].&lt;br /&gt;
** Vánagandr's sense for trauma (her praxis _Scars in the Wallpaper_) told her that this was a place devastated by long term human exploitation and dominance, but the despoilers were long gone and the realm had since scarred over and regrown with ruined imagery.&lt;br /&gt;
* The entire cabal began to see images of their own deaths by sudden and brutal means. This was an unsettling experience for all besides Kassandra, who has been seeing such visions for so long that she has stopped reacting to the horror. She spoke of her past, how she had always seen such things, of how her parents had tried to milk fame and fortune from her visions. And how, in the end, she had foreseen their deaths in a car accident and chosen not to tell them.&lt;br /&gt;
* As they were talking, Kassandra became overcome with a vision. A deific entity in the shape of a monstrous and gigantic satyr appeared to murder the other members of the cabal with an immense spear. It contemptuously asked her what she thought was going to happen when she brought unwanted people here, tormenting her and driving her into a fit. The others tried to help her come out of it but it only passed when another, calmer voice spoke to Kassandra and guided her back to awkward, pained consciousness. And only then did the they realise one of their number was missing...&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr had tried to help Kassandra by weaving a spell of shielding to protect the younger woman's mind from the pain and intrusion tormenting her. The spell failed, forming improperly and lashing Vánagandr with both the contemptuous abuse of the satyr and the full force of Kassandra's tempestuous emotions. Overwhelmed by this and her own inability to help, she slipped while the others attended to Kassandra's medical needs, trailing a chain of pained memories and bloody words as she stalked deeper into the Oneiros in search of the intrusion into the young woman's soul.&lt;br /&gt;
* The others found her in the greatest ruin of the Oneiros, an elegant and magnificent heap of fallen glory. At its heart lay a statue that bore all the mythic symbolism of Dionysus, leaning atop a smaller statue of a woman with Kassandra's face. As the others contemplated the psychological symbolism of this, Vánagandr remained lost in her own fugue and a rising obsession to find the thing that was missing inside Kassandra,  eventually tearing a path into her own Oneiros.&lt;br /&gt;
** In her digging, she found something. Hidden in the ruin of trauma was a sense that something had been stolen from the Oneiros. A destiny or future perhaps, and not simply by mundane horror. This absence felt like the intrusion.&lt;br /&gt;
* The world collapsed under the four of them, pitching them down through darkness and into cold rain. Onto a wrought iron balcony high above a cityscape that bled under a crimson-tinged stormcloud sky. Behind them lay doors into a penthouse suite, and a presence drawing close.&lt;br /&gt;
* While Vánagandr remained insensate and overwhelmed, the others were met by a woman that wore her face but spoke with smooth amusement and barbs beneath her words. She knew that the incident with the distorted trailer and that it had come from Kassandra's memories. And she commented that as much as Vánagandr would not like it, perhaps she should show the others where her intrusive trauma lies. Since she is so set on tearing open all their pain for inspection.&lt;br /&gt;
'''TO BE COMPLETED'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''RAWNOTES TO BE PROCESSED'''&lt;br /&gt;
''And they got to meet the wolf in chains who proved to be charming, confident and barbed in her speech. She implied things and suggested that perhaps Vánagandr should show the others her own hidden intrusion so that they could understand. So that is what they did, going into the mirror room and there they saw a memory of her just before awakening and behind that image of her was a shapeless predatory thing that felt like it was drawing closer. The intrusion. As they watched it consumed and usurped the image of the memory, shaping it into a distorted version of Vánagandr that railed and threatened and promised that it would devour them all. And as it did this, it no longer felt like the intrusion. Vánagandr felt herself to be the intrusion, though I’m not sure if it was herself or her self. Everything felt wrong. And as darkness fell upon them, they tried to reach Titania’s soul so that they could finish this astral journey before too much harm was done''&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot Developments &amp;amp; Facts Discovered==&lt;br /&gt;
'''TO BE COMPLETED'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''RAWNOTES TO BE PROCESSED'''&lt;br /&gt;
* Kassandra's visions&lt;br /&gt;
* The Intrusion in Kassandra&lt;br /&gt;
* Vanagandrs hidden trauma imagery&lt;br /&gt;
* The Wolf in Chains knowing more than it should&lt;br /&gt;
* The thing in the mirror&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==People Appearing (in order of appearance)==&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Kassandra]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Titania]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Vánagandr]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Wotann]]'''&lt;br /&gt;
* The demonic satyr, ecstatic and controlling. (''seen only by Kassandra, aside from a glimpse by Vánagandr'')&lt;br /&gt;
* A calm voice. (''heard only by Kassandra'')&lt;br /&gt;
* [[The Wolf in Chains]], shared a cigarette with Kassandra and seemed to know more than she should. &lt;br /&gt;
* A hungry predatory shape, raging and furious in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Locations==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kassandra's Oneiros]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The Temple of Dionysis and Hope&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Vánagandr's Oneiros]]&lt;br /&gt;
** The Bound Suite&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
* Vánagandr suffered a dramatic failure when casting her spell and gained the Spooked condition. That combined with her vice of Pride drove her to go off alone to seek answers. Mental contact with Kassandra's pain and the sharp personal trauma of not being able to help someone who was suffering in a very familiar way drove her obsession into a fugue.&lt;br /&gt;

'''XP Spent:''' 3 (new Praxis, Professional Training, Defensive Combat); '''XP Unspent:''' 2 mundane, 2 arcane&lt;br /&gt;
===Attainments===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Counterspell (''Fate, Mind, Space'')''': Can counter a spell that uses one of the selected arcana while it is being cast.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mage Armour (''Mind, Space'')''' Spend 1 mana as a reflexive action to gain the benefits of a Mage Armour for a scene. Remains active even if she falls unconscious. Can only benefit from one armour at a time, but can change between arcana by spending 1 mana as a reflexive action.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Mind Armour:'' Add Mind to Defence. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to give the attacker the Beaten Down tilt; a supernatural being can resist this tilt with a Clash of Wills. Provides no protection against threats with no cognition to affect. &lt;br /&gt;
** ''Space Armour:'' Add Space to Defence, and can apply full Defence against firearms and similar attacks which normally ignore Defence. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to redirect the attack to another applicable target; the attack hits with successes equal to Space. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mind's Eye:''' Detects Goetia and Mental Twilight phenomena with her Periphery, and can automatically see Goetia and projecting being in Twilight with Mage Sight (Goetia attempts to hide with supernatural means provoke a clash of wills). Can spend 1 mana to interact with Goetia for a scene, enabling her to speak with, touch or even strike them, though becomes vulnerable to such from them as well.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sympathetic Range:''' Can use sympathy Yantra to cast magic at a target beyond sensory range by spending 1 mana. The spell is Withstood by the fragility of the sympathetic connection.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Targeted Summoning (''Mind'')''': Can spend 1 mana when summoning a Supernal being to add greater specificity in the type of being sought.&lt;br /&gt;

**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can increase an additional Skill per additional Reach, spreading Potency between these skills.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach, costs 1 mana&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can increase the subject's Skills above the normal maximum.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Command Obedience''' (''Ruling Mind; Intimidate, Withstood by Resolve''): Project simple telepathic commands to the subject that they are compelled to follow even if against his will. Commands must be simple one-word orders and cannot force the subject to act in a way that would put him in serious harm or commit suicidal acts.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' The subject can be forced to perform one task that can be as simple or as complex as the mage desires, giving detailed mental instructions for how to complete the task.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach, costs 1 mana&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' As with +1 reach effect, but there is no limit on the command that can be given, including commands that place the subject in danger or harm themselves.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''No Door Holds''' (''Ruling Space; Athletics''): Bypass an obstacle preventing movement, such as a locked door, bindings, a charm blocking a path. Cannot go through something that is not an obstacle to movement. Inanimate objects must be moved through the obstacle. &lt;br /&gt;

**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Subjects pass through the obstacles even if unable to move, appearing on the other side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Praxes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Scars in the Wallpaper''' (''Unveiling Mind''): Read the emotional residue of a location, identifying places tainted by terror, pain, and violation (Chambers in &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;''Beast the Primordial''&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;)&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Red Memory''' (''Fraying Mind''): Augments her unarmed strikes to add Potency in bashing damage as a weapon rating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merits===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Advanced Killer Instinct:''' Can use Killer Instinct merit without studying a target. Can take a full round to study a target, then when making an attack against the target choose one effect per dot in the merit: Upgrade 1 level of Lethal damage to Aggravated; Destroy 1/1 nonsupernatural armour until replaced or healed; Ignore 2pts of target Defence and 1pt of called shot penalty. &lt;br /&gt;

* '''Sympathetic Range:''' Spend 1 Mana and use sympathy Yantra to cast magic at the past of a target within sensory range.

* '''Monetary Flux''' (''Knowing Time, Investigation''): Sense whether a subject will be beneficial or baneful in the most likely future. Does not reveal in what form this aid or harm will take, nor whether it will be conscious or accidental. Can be cast on the mage herself to assess her own future actions.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' When reacting to information gained from this spell, add Potency to Initiative.&lt;br /&gt;

This only locates the nearest or most available subject rather than a specific person or object. Alternately, gain temporary access to a Social Merit (Ally, Contacts, Mentor, Resource, or Retainer) with rating no greater than her Fate dots. This benefit lasts for a maximum number of uses equal to Potency.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Locate the desired object within one hour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
'''XP:''' 0; '''XP Unspent:''' 1 mundane, 1 arcane&lt;br /&gt;
===Attainments===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Conditional Duration''': Spend 1 Mana to add a conditional trigger that will end the spell, gaining additional duration based on the likelihood of the condition; the more likely the condition chosen, the greater duration gained.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Counterspell (''Death, Fate, Time'')''': Can counter a spell that uses one of the selected arcana while it is being cast.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mage Armour (''Fate, Time'')''' Spend 1 mana as a reflexive action to gain the benefits of a Mage Armour for a scene. Remains active even if she falls unconscious. Can only benefit from one armour at a time, but can change between arcana by spending 1 mana as a reflexive action.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Fate Armour:'' Add Fate to Defence and can apply full Defence against Firearms. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to add her Fate dots as a weapon rating on her next attack against that target. This bonus must be used by her next action or is lost.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Time Armour:'' Add Time to Defence and can apply full Defence against Firearms. In addition, if she Dodges an attack, she can spend 1 Mana reflexively to reduce the attacker's Initiative by her Time dots for the remainder of the scene.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sympathetic Range:''' Spend 1 Mana and use sympathy Yantra to cast magic at the past of a target within sensory range. The spell is Withstood by the fragility of the temporal sympathy between the mage and her subject, plus 1 Withstand level if the mage does not know the target's sympathetic name.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Targeted Summoning (''Mind'')''': Can spend 1 mana when summoning a Supernal being to add greater specificity in the type of being sought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rotes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Interconnections''' (''Unveiling Fate, Investigation''): Sense the marks of Fate on people places and things observed, up to one subject per turn. Detect any sympathetic connections between the subjects, identify anyone who has broken an oath or geas, and the presence of spells with conditional Duration.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Also detect possession, supernatural mind control and alterations of destiny.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Also discern specific information about a subject's destiny (eg. the Doom of someone with the Destiny merit, the conditions necessary to trigger or terminate a conditional effect).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Monetary Flux''' (''Knowing Time, Investigation''): Sense whether a subject will be beneficial or baneful in the most likely future. Does not reveal in what form this aid or harm will take, nor whether it will be conscious or accidental. Can be cast on the mage herself to assess her own future actions.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' When reacting to information gained from this spell, add Potency to Initiative.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Speak to the Dead''' (''Unveiling Death, Expression): Can sense ghosts and Anchors within the area of effect and can communicate with ghosts, as long as the ghost is capable of understanding a language she speaks. Can concentrate on a single ghost within the area and determine its Rank, and how many Anchors it has, if any.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can determine if any Anchor she perceives is temporary (such as those created through a summoning) or permanent.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+2 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Can make herself understood by ghosts of Rank 2+ even if they do not speak the same language as her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Praxes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Shifting the Odds''' (''Ruling Fate''): Find her way within the next 24 hours to a particular person, place or thing, including by context-specific quality (eg. corrupt cop). This only locates the nearest or most available subject rather than a specific person or object. Alternately, gain temporary access to a Social Merit (Ally, Contacts, Mentor, Resource, or Retainer) with rating no greater than her Fate dots. This benefit lasts for a maximum number of uses equal to Potency.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Locate the desired object within one hour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merits===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Danger Sense:''' Gains +2 bonus on reflexive Wits + Composure rolls to detect an ambush.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Fame:''' Locally recognised as a private investigator. Gains +1 on any Social rolls among those who are impressed by her celebrity. Others get the same bonus to rolls to find or identify her by mundane means.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Professional Training''' (''PI'' – Investigation, Firearms, Streetwise)&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Networking:'' Gain 2 dots of contacts in fields relating to chosen field.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Continuing Education:'' Gain 9-Again on rolls using Asset Skills&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Breadth of Knowledge:'' Gain a third asset skill and 2 specialties in Asset Skills.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Tolerance for Biology:''' Does not need to make Composure, Resolve or Stamina rolls to withstand shock or repulsion from the disgusting, morbid or biologically strange.&lt;br /&gt;

'''XP:''' 0 spent; '''Unspent:''' 3 mundane, 2 arcane&lt;br /&gt;
===Attainments===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Counterspell (''Forces, Prime, Spirit'')''': Can counter a spell that uses one of the selected arcana while it is being cast.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mage Armour (''Forces, Prime'')''' Spend 1 mana as a reflexive action to gain the benefits of a Mage Armour for a scene. Remains active even if she falls unconscious. Can only benefit from one armour at a time, but can change between arcana by spending 1 mana as a reflexive action.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Forces Armour:'' Apply Forces as general armour against all damaging physical attacks and the automatic damage from electricity and fire. No effect on mental or psychic attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Prime Armour:'' Reduce damage from all ''wholly'' supernatural attacks by Prime eg. a damaging spell or bolt of energy, but not supernatural claws.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Precise Force:''' Spend a full turn studying an object or target to augment any subsequent physical attack or spell that uses a projectile against that target. Against inanimate object, bypass 2 points of Durability and deal +2 Structure damage on a hit. Against an armoured target, bypass and destroy 1/1 Armour. Does not work on a target moving faster than walking pace.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Targeted Summoning (''Prime'')''': Can spend 1 mana when summoning a Supernal being to add greater specificity in the type of being sought.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Universal Counterspell:''' Can use Counterspell on any Awakened spell. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rotes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Control Electricity''' (''Ruling Forces; Crafts''): Control or diminish the flow of electricity; cannot increase current without a device capable of generating it. This can direct how electricity flows around circuits, cause it to arc to harm a target. This deals damage as the standard electricity rules and likely burns out the device unless it is built to withstand intense power fluctuations. Each level pf Potency enables control of one line of power, or may diminish the level of power by Potency (see MtAw2e, pg. 146 for levels of power).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Pierce Deception''' (''Unveiling Prime; Occult''): Subject of the spell automatically recognise all mundane falsehoods as untruths, and provokes a Clash of Wills against any magical illusions or deceptions. Only reveals &amp;quot;active&amp;quot; falsehoods.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Subject also gains some symbolic sense of what the actual truth is.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Words of Truth''' (''Ruling Prime; Expression; Withstood by Composure''): When speaking words that are objectively truth and that she knows to be true, all subjects of the spell can hear and understand her clearly, regardless of distance, noise or language barrier. Further, they also know, on a soul-deep level, that what she is saying is true. This does not compel the subjects to act on this information but ignoring it or refuting it may be grounds for a Breaking Point. In a Social Manoeuvring action, this may remove one Door or improve the impression level by one step per Potency.&lt;br /&gt;
**''&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;+1 Reach&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;:'' Listeners that go along with what the caster says gain the Inspired condition. Those that go against it gain the Guilty condition&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Praxes===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Know Spirit''' (''Knowing Spirit; Withstood by Rank''): Gain information about a spirit, gaining 1 piece of information per Potency. Can learn name, Rank, Manifestations, Numina, Influences, and Ban or Bane.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Merits===&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Barfly:''' Any roll to identify her as an outsider at a social function is penalised by Socialise ranks.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Dream:''' Can enter her own dreams without a meditation roll, and has prescient dreams. Each chapter, can ask the Storyteller one Yes-or-No question about a chosen topic per dots in Dream.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Keen Periphery:''' When sensing an effect via Peripheral Mage Sight, also senses the Arcanum under whose purview the effect falls.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Professional Training''' (''bartender'' – Empathy, Socialise)&lt;br /&gt;
** ''Networking:'' Gain 2 dots of contacts in fields relating to chosen field.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sleight of Hand:''' Can take a Larceny-based instant action reflexively once per turn. Her Larceny actions go unnoticed unless someone is trying specifically to catch her.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Vice Ridden:''' Has two Vices, though can only regain one Willpower per scene through indulging a vice.&lt;br /&gt;
