<div class="floatleft">(https://www.naturallyamazing.com/americasparks/10489.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>GM Post<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>January 1st, 2018<br/><strong>Status:</strong>--<br/><strong>Notes/Triggers:</strong>A discussion with Count Harald.<br/><strong>Tagging: </strong>Everyone.<br/><hr/><hr/>The lake revealed its secrets to Quinn. There were quite a few dark ones, or so it seemed.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Quinn only</div><div class="spoiler_body">The lake <em>brimmed</em> with Glamour, practically a bastion of it. However, there was something <em>off</em> about the Little Dam. Quinn recognized the signs. A Thallain had been here. A powerful one. It was hard to determine exactly what it had done, but it was clear it had not only tapped Glamour in this place, but used it to extremely ill-effect. There was a raw aura of violence and death in the area--Calla was not the first to die there. It was clear that she was merely the first <em>discovered</em> for whatever reason. <br/><br/>Quinn determined one important thing: the Thallain possessed <em>considerable</em> command over the Sovereign Art. Not only that, Quinn deduced that the Thallain in the area likely had considerable acumen with the realms of Actor, Fae, and Nature.<br/><br/>Quinn determined an <em>incredibly</em> powerful Unleashing happened here. It did not seem to have been done by the Thallain, so that left only Calla as the likely one to have done it. It looked like Calla may have Unleashed <em>Spring.</em> Quinn can tell that this would have had to have happened before the Thallain attacked or revealed itself.</div></div><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Corrin</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">“The Freehold... yes. It is something I will see to, should I have the time.” That was a lie, he intended to make time and more besides, but his kith would not tolerate such truths. “There’s also the matter of her workrooms, her smithy. She may have made note of who it was for.” </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Harald hesitated, and then he pulled a slim looking silver key out of his pocket. "This is the key to her smithy. I only had it for emergencies. I can't bear to go in right now. But I will give you the address for it, and I will call ahead to let the friend watching it for me know you wish to look into it." He offered it to Corrin.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Rick</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Oi! The singing is still happening, and it seems that the mortals can hear it, as my mate seemed to be caught up in it. So, someone might want to see about keeping people away from here, just in case.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Harald swore when he heard Rick say what he did. He pulled out a phone and called someone, saying, "Yes, look, it's me. We need to close off Robbers Cave State Park. Yes, at least access to the lakes. How many campers are with us at the moment, do we have a headcount?" He listened for a moment and nodded, "Yes, law enforcement was here. I'll start the process of kicking everyone out, then, which I'm sure will make me the most popular belle at the ball." He hung up.<br/><br/>Josh went along with Rick--after all, whole point of going there in the first place had been letting Rick do this thing. The redcap left...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rick (M13) (OOC) </div><div class="spoiler_body">Write up a solo post detailing out what Rick is doing for the Count, as Rick's separated off from the group. For any of the legal documentation, he'll need to run it by Harald's lawyer, Mr. Zilby, who will be easily contacted as he'd be publicly listed in the phone book &amp; Harald will likely call ahead to notify him of things. You can write up everything up to sending something Mr. Zilby's way for review. If you aren't sure what all to write or how much is 'too much, you can run the post by me in PMs. :)<br/></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Balthazar only</div><div class="spoiler_body">The Troll spied something strange near the Little Dam. Just under the surface of the water were frozen flowers, bright and pink and yellow. A little dollop of Spring right in the middle of Winter. It was <em>strange.</em><br/><br/>He also noted, as he scanned the water's surface and the nearby shoreline, that it was very likely something had left the area a few hours ago. Far to the right of the Little Dam's shore line there was a single weird footprint, mostly washed away by the water, that indicated something like....a webbed foot? Just one, though, and the water near the shore's edge indicated that if there'd been any more, they were long gone. Balthazar was lucky to have noticed it at all.</div></div><br/><br/>The Count looked noticeably uncomfortable and asked, his voice tired, "Do any of you have any more questions or need anything from me? I have to start making campers leave the lake site soon. If need be, I can share a contact number for me in case you think of anything else you need to ask me or if you happen to require me for something. It would only be polite to ensure those helping me have an easy way to get in touch. I also will let the Duchess know you all arrived and are helping me, as per her letter."
