Pallas invites everyone to Belle Starr’s “Anniversary of her 21st Birthday” party at Atwaters.

   There’s something of a private dinner for the more active members of The Freakshow beforehand.

   Things are tense as Pallas asks the questions that have been on The Freakshow’s minds since the attacks on Miranda… what happened? Content Not Found: erica gives a summary, but things get tense when Donna and her group of “pro Raven Harper” members (or perhaps anti-Jamie Harper would be more accurate) refuse to believe her involvement in recent events.

   (Elena and Jamie are quietly sipping high end Tequila through all this)

   When the party begins proper, things get interesting when the various guests begin arriving. First the various minor nobles of the Summer Court of the Fae, including Lord Montfort. Things are tense between Montfort, Conor, and Matthew when Erica… completely un-intentionally… helpfully suggests the Theme Song to “My Little Pony” … which is taken poorly by the diminutive centaur lord.

   Then arrives the White Court with all of the expected results among the crowd. Ren in typical loquacious fashion provides Amber with all the raw intel she was needing. Surely that won’t come back and bite the heroes in the tail…

   Then arrived The Winter Court and its radiant Lady, The Marchioness. Everyone seems to be on their best behavior… even Zanna who continues her fascination with Matthew the Preacher-man.

   Erica then provides the crowd with her gift for Belle, a song she wrote herself as well as its amazing acoustic performance (Conor provided background SFX lighting via his Fae Glamour) that leaves the entire crowd feeling nostalgic for home (for weal or woe).

   Then, events are slightly marred by the arrival of the Fort Wolf Posse and specifically Carlos… still looking for his missing Malk (now known as Hobbes…a dear friend of Erica).

   The rest of the evening goes well enough as all conclude and head their separate ways.
