    The hulking man does not react to the finger sin his face. He seems stunned, dumbfounded, staring after the fleeing Fetch. As Circe gives chase, she reaches out into the ream, trying to sense anything of the person around her.

    Reaching out, she senses the same hate and resentment she felt before. While she recognizes the fires that forges a sturdy will, she also feels a darkness within that fire. One carefully leashed but all too willing to lash out, almost longing to do so, the hot, searing anger of Wrath.

    The Orge reaches out, again, and the ease with which he can pluck the knowledge astounds him. Almost as if learning of himself. Ram moves after the simulacrum of himself, now looking almost as tall as the Ram of the present though not with the hulking arms or stony skin. He - it - heads out of the back door and through the garden, over a fence and down an alley. Then he stops abruptly, turning slowly and staring back at the house, as a flash point bursts out of the back windows with a block-shaking boom.

    All the while Ram senses the forged will Circe spoke of, but also the determination. Looking out on the explosion, there is a sense of right permeating the dream. As if a wrong was corrected in the fire. As if Justice had been served and he, Tobias, was the agent of that righting of wrong. Just for a moment, he feels the connection binding himself to the one that took his mortal place.

    Tobias. Yes... that was the name. Tobias Morgan. But it was the name of the young man in the dream, buried deep in the past. Tobias was dead, and Ram... or more accurately, Michael, had taken his place. Michael Washburne.

    As the name of his mirror self comes to Ram, the Fetch previously watching the house burn, frowns, as if hearing something. He turns, and his eyes go wide, jaw agape.

    He is looking straight at Ram.


    There's a lot there, so for clarity - Circe recognises the Vice of Wrath.

    Ram recognises the Fetch's Virtue is Justice. For the Exceptional success, he also knows one of the Fetch's social merits - he has the Alternate Identity merit (Michael Washburne) and name of Tobias Morgan.

    Also, Scourge , please could you include what Ram's Virtue is in an OOC block your next post?

    It's probably fine, don't worry about it.

    Fitting that a Summer's Fetch was Wrathful. She'd mention it later about Mr. Morgan. Circe sweeps the alley looking for more evidence.


    She does however notice that the Fetch seems to have noticed Ram. Oh, that couldn't be good. "Ooookay, make the dream weird?" Was her suggestion to Ram. Circe isn't prepared to fully alter the dream but does bother to alter herself a bit, with a snap of her finger for triggering.


    The body armor is gone leaving her in a black and yellow mini-skirt dress with a cleavage window. The gun and Circe's own hair gained a sci-fi look to them. That said, Circe tries to position herself behind the Fetch. Friendly fire was a non-issue in dreams, she thinks, so no worries about that.

    Should Circe try to roll stealth?

    Ram looks like he could knuckle walk if he wanted. His arms and chest are enormous. More akin to a gorilla than human. His skin is an amalgamation of stony hide with fire cracks running through it and pieces of Fey machinery grafted at the joints. Segmented pieces of metal are bolted to run down his spine legs. Wood covers his skull with willow leaves providing hair, while curved bone horns sprout from the foliage.

    Tobias. Their name. HIS name! He could feel it. See the sound of it in the flickering of the flames. Warm and familiar.

    Then… then it turned to ash. The name was dead and while a new one took it’s place it wasn’t his. The person it belonged to had killed it. HIS NAME! How dare they?!

    The rage was just starting to build up again when he turned to look at the thing and was shocked to see it staring right into his eyes.

    “Shit,” he whispered realizing he’d been discovered. Generally, you didn’t want to get spotted on recon.

    Circe’s words cut through his surprise and he tried to pull something out of his head. Something weird to make this seem like just another part of the dream. Only one thing came to mind.

    1 success


    A small contingent of rabbits, turtles, and snails came over the roof of the burning building, jumping down into the into the yard. They were armed with old style rifles and moved to surround the fetch with bayonets pointing inward.

    Well, it was weird but he didn’t think it would be enough.

    “I have a name!” he yelled “Take the shot!”

    Recon was over.

    Ram's virtue is Charity.

    The Summer queen's fingers snap and the outfit reforms. As she begins to move around the edge of the others, the Fetch seems to pay her no heed.

    The Fetch had been staring at Ram for almost three full seconds when his expression turns, if anything, more panicked and he starts looks in around as if Ram is not there. "What the...?"

    The approaching army of small creatures armed with rifles catches him completely by surprise, and his attentions is drawn to them, staring at the bayonets.

    3 successes


    With Ram's shout, he eyes snap back to Ram as if seeing him again for the the first time. "Oh my god..... it was there..."

    He backs away slowly, then turns to bolt.

    Origins , the Fetch cannot actually see Circe and she would know that she has not become visible in the dream - That wasn't fully clear on my part (I was aiming for the dramatic!), so you have the choice. If Circe chose to become visible as a part of your last roll, that's fine - roll dex+Stealth. If she didn't want to reveal herself, there's no need to roll and the fetch will not see her.

    Similarly, Scourge , Ram will also know he didn't manifest and the Fetch seems to be able to spot him sporadically.... but I think you figured that one out already.

    The elegant and armonious movement of the celestial spheres is reflected upon her hair, galaxies dance across the pitch black background in clockwork-like precision, delicate specks of moondust blaze down in her wake, disappearing just as they touch the floor.

Occasionally, midnight blue roses emerge from her hair, their petals swept by a gentle breeze, just to fade into the bed of sparkling diamond moondust left in her trail by her mien, vanishing without trace soon thereafter.

    Circe is about to dive for cover when she recalls some of her Dream training and experience. The Fetch hadn't focused on the alien girl pointing a gun at it, so it probably didn't see her.


    And the Summer Queen was most eager to fulfill Ram's request, as her toothy grin will attest. Raising the dream gun, it let out the appropriate, to Circe, noise as she went full automatic.


    3 successes



    Guns blazing is how she appears to the Fetch whence she is finally visible to it.


    Understood. Circe wouldn't have intentionally made herself fade in and should know it by the lack of reaction.

    Ram had been spotted. He wasn't sure how but it had happened.

    He just had to look on the bright side. Now he got to punish it for killing his name.

    The roar manifested into the dream before anything else. It formed out of the sound of the burning building, transforming into breath being screamed from a fire inside a belly. Molten stone poured from no where, filling the crags of Ram's scars as flesh and steel and horn grew around the inner inferno of the Summer Changeling until he stood bodily in the dream. And as the roar came to an end, he grinned malevolently, lowered his head and charged after the fleeing fetch.

    The Fetch staggers as Circe's bullets slam into their mark. Thick red blood pours from the wounds and the man stops swaying.

    Reacting to Ram's command, the assorted creatures bein firing their rifles, shots flying both around and into Michael.

    The Ogre emerges as a towering siege engine of war, his mighty fist slamming into the back of the fetch's head.

    It goes flying forwards...

    Suddenly everything lurches. The ground beneath the changeling shakes violently and the environment around them flickers, revealing the endless expanse of the Skein and the paths beyond.

    The dream vanishes.

    Eyes snap open.

    The Summers are back on the floor of the Autumn Hollow. The Dream ended abruptly the moment they killed the Dream-Fetch.

    Titana is still beside them, slumbering peacefully.

    They has successfully learned what it was like.

    And more importantly, they had a name.

    That's actually a wonderfully thematic way to end, so thank you for that!

    I realize it's abrupt, but we have been going for nearly 2 months and I was reminded by the ST we need to wrap up. Taking out the dream-fetch is a lovely hanging portent.

    I'll explain the next steps in the OOC thread. Thanks you all for playing, and I hope you enjoyed it!
