Thanksgiving

• We all wake up to frost on the windows and freezing rains
  • Moira, Blaze, and I sleep in the freehold the night before
  • Aoife and Agnes sleep in their respective homes
• Moira, Blaze, and I take Moira's car to the studio while Aoife and Agnes go to do family things at lunch time
  • Blaze is driving and we hit some ice and she loses control of the car, but between a bunch of different magic, we narrowly, and I mean narrowly, avoid crashing into a gas pump
• Eventually we all gather at Moira's studio along with Aoife's brothers, Agnes' parents and Christopher, and the folks from Storm of Souls
• At 8:13 precisely Stonetooth starts quietly freaking out and when Moira gets all the Changelings into the kiln room, he explains that something is happening at Stone Mountain
  • He says that someone is attacking the mountain
  • We light up the Changeling phone tree and reach out to various contacts individually to get
  • The band gets into their bus and leaves a few minutes before we do
• Aoife busts out Protocol to get the mortals to stay inside while we head to Stone Mountain
  • I help out by casting Flicker-flies
  • She is massively successful (10 successes), so we pile into Aoife's parents' Land Rover and Blaze drives us at breakneck speeds to Stone Mountain
• We show up to the park and find the barriers at the entrance broken through
  • By a playground on the way to the southside of the mountain there are several park security vehicles smashed off to the side, the ground littered with dead bodies
  • A little past the playground we spot a several cars on a side street, looking like they're staged there
    • Moira lights their tires on fire as we drive past
• We pull up in time to see a group of individuals trying to clear a tree that has come down in the way of what looks like "an evil laser light show"
