Last Saturday morning we went looking for some stones to use for mana gathering.
Romeo, Cerberus and I head to Soul Mirror, where we find no stones of use, but meet a strange mage - very powerful (lit up like the sun was mentioned). He was tattooed and preppy and headed out after a quick hello.
The boys and I then head to Enchanted Spirit, near Enchanted Garden (where we located two stones), where tattoo-prep "is". He invites us back for tea, discusses a stone or two that seem to be on their way to a possible Throne agent. He invites us to look at the tea in our cups, after which we find ourselves several moments ago and in the front of the store. We meet Junior, at Ceberus's suggestion, He offers weapons, and wishes us luck, but not assistance.
I head back to the Hallow and the boys head off to get the stone. I understand they may have found another of Kosmos' hideouts. There is some hacking or something in which they attempt to redirect the stone to us. Let's see how this works - we are to expect something by Tuesday.
Once their return, we make arrangements to check out Harmony Metaphysical Church. The vibes are desperation and belonging - a cult of some sort? They gift shop is full of idols, Bal, Kali, all sorts of stuff, just none of what one might consider commonplace in a church. Some of the books are directed at children, but strangely, like 5 year olds have sexual urges. There is a floor mosaic outside, that is surrounded by glyphs of some sort. They are NOT high speech. Nearby there is a bit of wall art - kabbalistic and referring to power over sin. We attend a service led by Brother Greaves, on sin and weakness. He is not human and is not alive. We decide to do a bit of research - missing persons, any weird dangerous stuff nearby?
