Before pregaming could start, a few issues had to be resolved. Below are mostly quotes from Ossian's arrival in Amber. Also, Folly has made a write-up of her rescue from Texorami that can be found here.
Jerod is a true son of his father (Eric):
Blake: Jerod is the epitomy of honor and integrity...you
may trust him in all things...:)
Vere: "Of course, cousin, that goes without saying. I can
tell that just by knowing whose blood flows through your veins."
Lucas has good insight in sophisticated philosophy:
Ossian looks at Jerod's followers:
"You can not be named Jerod all of you, I assume?"
"We could be. But we're not," Lucas replies.
Solange was assigned the role of "the
bad cop" during the interrogation of Ossian, and played it
seriously:
"I'm curious about just how fast he'll burst into
flames if we set him on the Pattern," Solange counters.
"Walked through a concrete wall. Sure. Sent by Brand as a
spy is more like it."
On the proto-pregaming. Are Folly and
Martin really sure what happened?
GM:
Paige and Folly and Martin are positioned for pre-gaming. Some
treasonous information source has leaked the knowledge that they
have actually done something
Folly looks up drowsily. "'Done something'? No, really, so
far it's mostly just been flirting and innuendo.... Or, wait, you
really just meant 'something,' and not, y'know, 'SOMETHING'....
Never mind, then...." She crawls back under the covers.
Martin, if he weren't taking a post-hellride nap right now, would
be saying: "I have not slept with that woman, Folly Mayhap.
OK, I did sleep with her but not SLEEP with her. You know what I
mean!"
Those are the essential parts of an
interrogation team:
GM:
Ossian is getting a hard time from the four cops in the castle (Good
Cop, Bad Cop, Internal Affairs, and Fashion Cop). His insidious
plan seems to include dinner.
The dress code for Amber Royals is a bit
unclear:
She looks at herself, then at Cambina. "I hope tonight isn't
going to be a *formal* dinner, is it?" Solange asks,
gesturing at her jeans.
On drinks and cousins and the importance
of not confusing the two:
Cambina:
"I think I promised you one of these beverages, it's called
a Zamboni, I think, in exchange for your take on our newest new
cousin. You all are certainly coming out of the woodwork these
days. I've got a pitcher of them in the dining room."
"A pitcher of cousins? That must be awful snug," Lucas
comments as he considers his nails. "This Zamboni: Is it
largely crushed ice and rotating blades? Or is a different sort
of drink?"
Clarity is everything. From Ossian's
first dinner with his cousins:
Ossian:
"I was wondering. Where are all our uncles and aunts?"
Lucas:
"Touring abroad."
