If you'll excuse me, I've got to talk to a werewolf professor about a camera company and a bookie about evil mages

• I stay in the freehold overnight to heal up some and recover glamour
• I work to setup some conversations and investigation opportunities
  • Paul can talk on Thursday
  • Dreamcatcher has office hours on Wednesday
  • We can get discount tickets to the Millenium Gate museum on Thursdays
• We're all planning on taking the week to recoup and heal up from our fight against the coven
  • We'll see how that goes
• Paddy is evidently planning on robbing a bank with a stripper to make money to make his payment to Paul
  • I get Officer McDougal's number from Agnes and trade a favor (within the domain of my job) to her to get Paddy's car impounded
• The statue Piper (Moira) has in her shop that the kids stole from Magpie has been moved/moved on its own
  • Agnes come by to investigate it (with Chronos) and something vast tried to look at her while she was observing the statue, but she kept it at bay
  • They call the rest of the motley over to talk about it that evening
  • There is a ghost that evidently haunts Piper's studio
    • He's Russian and his name is Dmitri
    • He didn't see the statue move, but noticed it had moved/been moved
    • EAGCAP - even all ghost cops are bastards
    • Agnes gets Dmitri to agree to watch the statue
• I stay at home Monday night to recoup my spent willpower

• We see in the news that Sunday night there was a disappearance of 4 artists/staff at a Paint & Sip place in midtown
  • Piper and I both recognize one of the names, Sophia Chen, who is an assistant curator at the High
  • Emma Reynolds - 25, landscape painter
  • David Parker - 37, mediocre portrait artist that's done several celebrities around town
  • Marcus Jones - 22, still life and illustrator that's done some local brands
• Agnes does some baking as divination and when she cuts the bread one side reveals a long haired male figure and the other half is a face with doughy eyes
  • After moving it around the images disappear, as if maybe she was dreaming
• I stay at the freehold to heal up
  • I wake up Piper yelling "He's coming, he's here, he's got them"

• Aoife, Blaze, and I go and see the werewolf professor, Laura Benally
  • She clarifies that it's Pentex, not Pentax
  • She had a dream last night about a pale man, striking blue eyes, and long white hair
  • She says she's heard that there have been a lot more talk of hauntings in the last couple days
  • She tells us about the Wyld, Wyrm, and Weaver and how she thinks they're tied to Tuatha, Fomorians, and Banality
  • She tells us about the three courts of Fomorians (which she thinks are related to the three aspects of the Wyrm - Beast-of-War, Eater-of-Souls, Defiler Wyrm)
    • Red - violence, savagery
    • White - liars
    • Green - deep, creepy, dream stuff
  • She assumes the vampires are not involved, as they let the disappearances hit the news because they weren't involved
• Piper goes to see Agnes after work to draw her bread man
• The entire motley stays in the freehold that night

• There is a story on the news of a murder suicide out in Conyers
  • Very sparse in terms of details
• We head down to the Millenium Gate Museum first thing in the morning
  • Blaze found out that they have an autograph book from the late 19th century
  • Blaze is parkouring around the arches and says one of the statues (Peace and Justice) tries to grab her
    • Agnes says the statues seem totally normal, in the same way that the statue in Piper's studio is normal
    • I have a flash of memory of a phrase "the face in the stone" from what may be my original incarnation as a true fae, and it's bad and ominous
  • We buy our (discounted) tickets and go into the museum
    • The docent is a middle aged woman in nice clothes
      • "Miss Vicky"
    • There is evidently a sculpture room, as there is guy, Ethan, there that evidently comes here regularly to sketch there
      • He says the statue of Zeus keeps moving
    • There is a young woman with a nice camera who wants to take photos from the roof of the skyline
    • Since Halloween people have been seeing ghosts
      • Agnes does not see any ghosts
    • Last night one of the staff saw a pale man with long white hair and pale blue eyes in here after the place was closed, but then he disappeared when they went to tell him they were closed
    • Blaze and Piper peel off from the group and stay in the statue room with Ethan
    • In the pre-Columbian exhibition the docent points out pieces that depict animals that didn't exist in this part of the world, like a lion and a hyena
      • Aoife takes pictures to send to Dreamcatcher
    • Multiple people mention seeing snakes popping up, including a business man who tells us about one that came up out of his toilet in his 5th floor apartment
      • He evidently through the snake out of his window, so Agnes uses Autumn to spook him out of the room
    • We get onto the roof and can see an intense storm slowly rolling in that will hit tomorrow
    • Piper and Blaze get Ethan to leave the statue room and as they go they catch a sense of the Zeus statue moving, its eyes following them
