Interlude I

In this brief introduction to Act II, the characters are doing some of their own (and together) things, so they are listed per character here. (Everyone returns to the Chancel around Jan 10th)

After a day of puttering in her garden, Allegra sends a messenger to the rest of the Familia stating that she must attend to a matter of the Utmost Importance in the Great White North, as specified by (she thinks) Fnord. Alas, she does not elaborate, and is already gone by the time the messenger finds anyone.

Allegra

Desiree

Hu

Neville

Nikita

Silas


On Jan 20th, Neville sends the following to the rest of the familia via courier:

Fellow Nobles of Familia Fnord;

In light of the Lady Allegra's disappearance, I must inform you of what I perceive as a threat to our security and that of the chancel. I recieved this morning a message from Kao Wong, the Dominus of Narcotics, regarding the possibility of certain unspecified of my actions being brought up before the Locust Court. Taken on its own, I perceived this as a transparent attempt at blackmail, and have already dispatched a representative to gather more information.

However, as Allegra has also disappeared, as I no doubt would have, were I of a less cautious nature, I now believe that some agency is attempting to seperate and isolate us outside the chancel, for a purpose as yet unknown.

I therefore request a council in the Chancel's Heart at your earliest convenience. My representatives will arrange the schedule.

Respects,
Sir Neville Cogsworth, etc.
