Grand Theft Blue

Brick: Hey, yo! When Blue was started up this time, he was in the middle of some GTA. Awesome! He must have the mad hackz, cuz he was bustin' the game up. Anyway, we asked him some questions, & became his minions, & helped to hook him up with his sweetheart where they both got to steal some cars & beat some hos. Man, that heartless chick Becca was tryin' to find a way to separate the 2 love-birds to force Blue to work for us. Luckily, the rest of us talked her down. Man, even computers need love!

We were able to find out how to get in touch with Lord Mecha's Mistress. We let James set up the spell, & the rest of us just brought things that we love. I brought a bacon sandwich with extra thick cuts of bacon.

James: Welp, we managed to get the supercomputer hooked up with the program of his dreams. Fuckin' touching, man. Seriously. Warms my heart. Having helped out Deep Blue like this, and wanting more information from it (him?) about the entity, so we joined his gang. He told us about Anya. Weird. Cool.

No Love for Studio Arts (Making Deals)

Brick: We went through the ritual without a hitch, but we forgot that we needed a moment of passion so me & Ilke kiss in the circle to summon out the faery that introduces herself as Ainé. Ainé tells us that like the goblin, she's willing to make deals to fix the problems that the chess club created. There are 3 things that the chess club messed with so we needed to make 3 deals to change everything back. James & I make a deal to recover a piece of magic jewelry for her to get the football teams popularity back. James offers a favor in the future to restore the school's good name. Unfortunately, Ilke can't make her deal. I understand. She wants to know what happens to her & doesn't want to block any of her options so she refuses to not research the Seelie court. I also gave Ainé the sandwich I brought. She seemed to like it.

James: Alright. I admit it. I love John Denver. LOVE. My dear departed grandmother used to play his greatest hits record (yes, vinyl!) all the time when I was a lad. The song "Sunshine On My Shoulder" especially conjures up strong emotional feelings of warmth and happiness surrounding Grandma Eunice. I miss her so. So when I was asked to produce an item that I deemed beautiful, the choice was not hard. I just had to deal with the logistics of making a record player work out in the middle of the woods in Shendley Park at midnight (gas generator).

So we did the ritual. Most interesting. Ilke is a hell of a dancer. It doesn't really work though. That is, until Brick kisses Ilke. funky. That does the trick, and this entity is summoned. Anya, I believe is her name. She offers to grant requests to change things back if we accept deals from her in return. Most accepted, Ilke did not. So the changes get rolled back, except the art department is now shit outta luck. Ah well. I gotta get some jewelry back for her at some point. And do another undeclared favor at some point. That should prove to be a good time.

Deals Struck

Brick and James have agreed to recover a lost piece of jewelry. Details to come at some point in the future. In return the football team would regain its popularity.

James (only) agreed to a future favor in exchange for restoring the school's prestige.

Deal Not Struck

Ilke refused the offer of returning creativity and passion to studio. She was asked not to make inquiries into her past with the Seelie Court.
