S58 Recap: Towertop Table Talk

General Summary

We start off our session and thus our recap with a recap of the last of last recap's recap on what gifts were given and to whom on this fine birthday that most certainly has not lasted two months before we've even had breakfast > #RecapWithinTheRecap #Recapception > Speaking of breakfast we have one last gift in the form of a breakfast reservation at a fancy tower! A reservation for 13? 11? 12? No. 13. > #BecauseReasons #SerenasGetsTheGiftOfFalseHope > Everyone scrambles to get ready in some capacity during which we get our one and only crit of the session when Serenas tames the wild hair of Corayas via a Nat20 styling check > #CritCount1 #FinalCritCount #TeamFunLessons #PlayinW/Corayas'HairIsGayRights > “Hey are we still covered in glitter?” “Absolutely. All non-removable parts of your body are still –and will remain– covered in glitter for the foreseeable future.” > #GlitterGremlins > anyways reservations aren't super time precise but they're still somewhat on a schedule so lets hit the road! > #Lets'aGo! #MakingOurWayUptown #WalkingFast(CauseWe'reGay) #Doodoodoododododooo > Serenas: “So has Duchess Summerkind received any parcels recently? ㋡” | Aona: “We will not have this conversation in the public eye.” >

> Also hey it's Clover! She's Great! Also a little scary in the nicest way possible > #”ThisExplainsGerald” #PlayerWordsNotMine #SheOnlyWantsWhat'sBestForKnickKnack > Gwyf (at eye level with and evaluating Clover): “I think I'm going to like you.” “I think so too.” > Fear.png > Anyways the magic elevator elevates us to the top of the tower, we assign morosexual and himbo to Clover and Knick-Knack respectively, and learn the difference between a round and rectangular table in fine dining environments. > #IwillNeitherConfirmNorDenyTheseAssignedTitles #PureOfHeart,DumbOfAss > Anyways brekky is chill > Serenas is reminded not to hype Faelyn up too much in the company of other wizards (#BestTeacherANDBestWizard), we confirm that Grandma got her gift, and Serenas does the bravest thing he's ever done and tells his parents to tell grandma that if she has beef to just contact Serenas directly > #AllGrownUp > we then bounce back and forth on band names for a bit, but the only thing we come up with is the genre is probably folk punk > #YesThatIsAnActualGenre > We then get into recounting the events of the last arc + intermission after an off hand comment raised some questions > #YouDidWhat?! > But this recounting of a timeline triggers a memory in Lady Aona that had previously been forgotten during her earlier venting about her mother > Duchess Summerkind fucking apologized‽ > #IsSheDying‽‽, #DidSheStopBeingAnIllithidInThisRealityWhenSheDiedInTheOther‽‽‽, It's-A-Mystery.jpg > Romad gets a little confused about which of Serenas' family members we have and have not met on this journey and in the process forgets that Zaotl is literally still with them > In his defence: #It'sBeenALongDay > we then have some discussions about chaos, oppressive family structures, & whether what Corayas did counts as running away (it doesn't) > Finally we get back on our bullshit about party/band names, through around some examples (Kirin notes the Proudthorn's reaction to the name the Honey Torch Brigade for later) and eventually Dadthorn comes forward and hits us with “Bows & Roses” > #PunnyPunksStrikeAgain > Finally we cap off our first session back with a sprawling description of the cityscape and the many festivities being set up throughout it. “The Atlas Festival has begun.”
