powersthatbe( in which the plot thickens )
Next week: Three major endeavors are underway: the exploration of the cabochon, including those intending to play music in time with it to see if they can amplify the disruption of the lightning coming off the crystal web; the assault on the Diabolin arms factory in the Waking World; and the evacuation of Starquake-afflicted regions of the future.
This new week will include two new complications - first, another Starquake, this one Transforming areas in the other eras and actively reaching out to chase down and Harbingerize nearby Dreamers. Second, the Spirit Companions will recover their ability to communicate, and reveal a dire secret: there was no natural Fintan Retrograde. All the garbled communication was deliberate action on the part of external powers - probably the Arcana - who have invaded Questing Country in the form of the cabochon, and whose presence is causing structural damage to the framework of dreaming itself.
What the Dreamers choose to do about that, and how it may relate to the other ongoing collaborations between Dreamer and Traveler, time will tell. Adversaries, especially Rise-era Adversaries, who already distrust their Spirit Companions, may not be bothered to find Travelers and Spirit Companions at odds. Valence-Era Dreamers may wonder if the Travelers, not the Fintan Retrograde, are the Problem the Ouroboros Retrograde was convened to solve. Investigators may have to deal with their own Companions accusing them of complicity. And those worried and confused Champions from the Starquake Era may wonder if the Travelers are behind their woes as well...
Plotting will be divided into subheaders on this occasion, to make it easier for groups to coordinate.
