 ===Leolin Kizer===
 [DiablotinNarrator] An announcement is issued from the palace on the 14th of the month, to note the safe birth of Prince-Imperial Leolin Kizer. The Empress is well, and the families are delighted, etc.
 [DiablotinNarrator] And there we'll end, for now...

 ===Guillame and Silvia===
 [DiablotinNarrator] Guillame, you are getting dressed for the morning when Silvia knocks at the door.
 [Guillame] Come on in, dear!
 * Silvia_ comes in.
 [Silvia_] Uh... there's a girl in the garden.
 [Guillame] Where?
 [Guillame] Take me to her, please.
 [Silvia_] Sitting on the grass.
 * Silvia_ does so.
 * Raina_ is indeed sitting on the grass in your back yard, shredding fallen leaves between her fingers.
 * Silvia_ holds back slightly, shy.
 [Guillame] Come on, Silvia - don't be scared
 [Guillame] Hello, Raina
 * Silvia_ comes closer.
 [Guillame] Welcome to... our garden
 [Raina_] You went back there, but you didn't talk to me, and you didn't see me, don't you care about me anymore?
 [Guillame] I didn't get a chance to do much of anything, sad to say. Willem had control.
 [Raina_] Does he care?
 [Guillame] I did try to get to see... this... you before I went.
 [Raina_] Hmph.
 * Raina_ seems slightly put out.
 [Guillame] I am sorry I didn't get to see her.
 [Raina_] What if she's dead now?
 [Raina_] Then you won't see her ever again.
 [Guillame] *nod
 [Guillame] Do you know what we tried to do?
 [Guillame] Was it stupid?
 * Raina_ shrugs.
 [Raina_] It was stupid, but it was the right thing I think.
 * Guillame sighs in reliief
 [Silvia_] [w] What's she talking about?
 [Raina_] Talking about dreams, and things that are real, and things that aren't real.
 * Silvia_ furrows her brow.
 [Silvia_] Sometimes I have dreams that are real...
 [Guillame] Somewhere I went with the society recently, Silvia - a dream world, in the mind of a Shadar-Kai Queen.
 [Guillame] Yes, you do.
 [Guillame] So does Raina.
 [Raina_] Not that sort of real! Real-real, not hasn't-happened-yet-real.
 * Guillame shakes his head.
 [Raina_] When the hasn't happened yet real happens, then you know it's real.
 * Silvia_ just looks more puzzled at that.
 [Guillame] The dream world I went to is really real - it's another place, that one can go to, and in which people live.
 [Guillame] I think. I don't understand it that well, myself.
 * Raina_ nods enthusiastically to that.
 [Guillame] I don't really know what happened there, either.
 [Raina_] No, yes, that's right, it's in a dream but it's real, even if the dreamer isn't dreaming it anymore, it stays there.
 [Silvia_] All right...
 [Guillame] Is she still dreaming it? I don't know where she went...
 [Raina_] She's dreaming something else now.
 * Raina_ laughs.
 [Guillame] Ok...
 [Guillame] Silvia... Raina is the same as you. A seer, like Aure told you about. She's his daughter.
 * Silvia_ nods slowly.
 [Guillame] Would you like to ask her about it?
 [Raina_] I could teach you. Let you see more things... but not *too* many things. Because if you see too many things, then you don't know which things are real anymore, and it gets all muddled up...
 [Silvia_] ...
 [Silvia_] Can you turn into things?
 * Raina_ nods.
 [Raina_] Little things, little animals, good for hiding...
 [Silvia_] Does it mean I can't be a priest, if I do this?
 [Silvia_] It's all right if that's what it means - I don't know if I really want to be a priest anyway.
 [Guillame] It'd be up to you, I think - you don't need to tell people about this if you don't want to yet.
 [Raina_] You'd have to learn the old ways, the old underground ways, and they don't match very well.
 [Silvia_] ... All right.
 [Guillame] You might find some conflict in the teachings, yes
 * Guillame grins
 [Silvia_] Can I not go to school today, then?
 * Silvia_ asks hopefully.
 [Guillame] If Raina would like to give you a lesson today, then I'd be comfortable with that, yes.
 [Raina_] I'll teach her, all right, teach her what I know.
 * Silvia_ sits down beside Raina on the grass, then, for whatever sort of lesson is forthcoming.
 [Guillame] . o O (Yes! Hurrah!)

 ===Ilphere and Ruchard===
 [DiablotinNarrator] Ilphere, after Ysabeau's wedding, you and Menard have remained in Greywatch for a day or two, enjoying the chance to get out of the city for a little vacation.
 [DiablotinNarrator] You have comfortable rooms in Duchess Emoune's castle, and the fresh mountain air makes it quite pleasant.
 [DiablotinNarrator] You fall asleep easily there, and slip smoothly into a dream...
 [DiablotinNarrator] The place is beautiful, a valley with green grass and flowers and a stream running along from the mountains.
 [Ilphere] (anywhere I recognize?)
 [DiablotinNarrator] You don't recognize it, no.
 * Ruchard is seated beneath a willow tree.
 [Ilphere] Ruchard...!
 * Ilphere calls his name and heads toward him.
 [Ruchard] Ilphere, I'm glad you came.
 [Ruchard] Did you all make it out safely?
 [Ilphere] Yes, thanks to you...!
 [Ilphere] That did not go as we might have hoped...
 [Ilphere] I suppose it was too much to think she might have been reasonable.
 * Ruchard nods.
 [Ruchard] And yet, it could have been worse.
 [Ilphere] I am sure...
 [Ruchard] She did not have time to destroy her world before I ... removed her from it.
 [Ilphere] You... you removed her?
 [Ilphere] :o
 * Ruchard nods again.
 [Ilphere] Does she still... Is she dead?
 [Ruchard] I felt it was the only course of action I could take - all of those lives would have been ended if she had succeeded in her attempt... if it was actually a serious attempt at all.
 [Ruchard] No, she lives... I can take you to where she is, if you wish, but she can't communicate.
 [Ilphere] I think I would like to see her...
 [Ruchard] Very well. In a moment, then. But first, I want to ask you something.
 [Ilphere] Of course...
 [Ruchard] What is your intention regarding her physical form? Are you going to wake her?
 [Ilphere] I am unsure that would be wise.
 [Ilphere] It is sad what happened to her, but... she does not seem very stable.
 [Ruchard] I agree, with some reservations.
 [Ilphere] I wanted to be able to wake her... but now...
 [Ilphere] What are your thoughts...?
 [Ruchard] Well...
 [Ruchard] I agree that she would be unable to function in the waking world if she were brought back there.
 [Ruchard] But if her body remains there, someone else could discover her in the future, and wake her. Perhaps if she were awakened now, by you and your companions, I might be able to assist... to bring her fully into this world, with no physical presence in the waking world, as I did for myself.
 [Ruchard] I would be willing to ... help her, if she can be helped.
 [Ilphere] I think... I think that would be the kindest thing.
 [Ilphere] And the safest for all.
 * Ruchard nods.
 [Ruchard] I'm glad you feel that way, then. I had concerns, after what happened, that you might feel differently.
 [Ruchard] I can take you to her now, if you wish...
 [Ilphere] Yes, please...
 * Ruchard stands and, without moving, seems to make the landscape rush by you at great speed, as if you were flying.
 * Ruchard stops the world at a waterfall, and points to it - within the rushing water, you can make out Imraen's still form.
 [Ruchard] She's quiet, at least.
 [Ruchard] There was a great deal of screaming earlier.
 [Ilphere] Oh dear... :/
 [Ruchard] Oh, not here. I mean, I think she doesn't mind it here... as much as she hates me right now.
 [Ruchard] ...I assume...
 [Ruchard] I'm trying to show her that... there are other places, better places. I don't know if it's sinking in.
 [Ilphere] I hope so...!
 * Ruchard nods.
 [Ruchard] So you will consult with your companions about waking her, and let me know when you intend to do so - I'll make my own preparations as well.
 [Ilphere] I will, as soon as we have returned home.
 * Ilphere promises.
 [Ruchard] Thank you.
 [Ilphere] I am glad to be able to help...
 * Ruchard smiles.
 [Ruchard] So am I. I can't return to see how things are going in her realm, obviously, but I believe they should be all right...
 [Ilphere] You cannot...?
 [Ruchard] Well, not while I'm watching her.
 [Ilphere] Ah, I see...
 [Ilphere] Perhaps there is a way to scry it...
 * Ruchard nods.
 * Ilphere muses.
 [Ruchard] Perhaps so.
 [DiablotinNarrator] The sky begins to darken, and Ruchard looks up.
 * Ilphere looks as well.
 [Ilphere] Time to go...?
 [Ruchard] Ahh, she's trying to take over again. I should... deal with that.
 [Ilphere] I will be in touch soon...
 * Ruchard nods.

 * Brother_Monterien is there, preparing for a ceremony later in the day.
 * Ysabeau smiles warmly for him.
 [Brother_Monterien] Ahh, good morning, Mme. Desrosiers :)
 [Ysabeau] Good morning Brother Monterien!
 * Ysabeau says cheerfully.
 [Brother_Monterien] What brings you here? I would have thought you'd be far too busy :)
 * Ysabeau smiles happily, still getting used to being "Mme. Desrosiers" instead of "Mlle. Chanuier".
 [Ysabeau] We have been, of course. But M. Desrosiers had some business to attend to while we were here, and so do I, as it turns out...
 [Brother_Monterien] Oh?
 * Ysabeau nods.
 [Ysabeau] I - that is, both Murienne and I, are curious to learn what we can about our parents.
 [Brother_Monterien] Ahh.
 [Brother_Monterien] They were good people - I was sorry to hear of their passing.
 * Ysabeau nods and a ghost of grief passes over her features.
 [Brother_Monterien] What was it you wanted to know about them? I'll help you if I can, of course.
 [Ysabeau] Well, all sorts of things. It's really sad to think how little we know of them or our extended family, if we even have one.
 [Ysabeau] I suppose I would be interested first in learning if they were from here, or if they moved to Val des Fentes from elsewhere...
 [Brother_Monterien] They weren't locals, but I know they felt welcomed here, and still have friends in the neighbourhood.
 * Brother_Monterien can give you the names of some of those neighbours, if you wish to talk to them.
 * Ysabeau will write them down.
 [Ysabeau] Were they married here?
 [Brother_Monterien] Yes, they were. I performed their wedding ceremony, and their homes would have been written down in the register - perhaps that would be of some help in tracking down relatives, if there are any who still live there.
 * Ysabeau nods eagerly.
 [Ysabeau] If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I should love to see those records.
 * Brother_Monterien can get out the register, not the volume most recently used for you and your husband, but an older volume.
 [Ysabeau] And perhaps birth records for Murienne and I - they might yield some additional information.
 * Brother_Monterien leafs through it, running his finger down rows and rows of names.
 [Brother_Monterien] Ahh, here we are.
 * Brother_Monterien says at last.
 * Ysabeau steps near him to peer at the record he has found.
 [Brother_Monterien] "Mathurin Chanuier, age 23, House Owl, of Moss Lane, Diablotin, and Therese Fougere, age 19, House Owl, of Thrawl Street, Diablotin, were married this day, the 11th of Third-month, 2229."
 [Ysabeau] Fougere? Do you know, we didn't even know her maiden name.
 * Ysabeau will make notes. Also a city lore roll for Moss Lane and Thrawl Street
 [Brother_Monterien] No? I always had the sense that they were ... not hiding from something, but that they had tried quite hard to leave the past behind them when they came here.
 [DiablotinNarrator] (sure, you can roll)
 [Ysabeau] (14)
 [DiablotinNarrator] You think they are probably in poor sections of town - maybe in Pearl or the Shambles. They don't sound like fancy places to live, anyway.
 [Ysabeau] Really?
 [Ysabeau] It must have been a difficult decision for them to take us back there, then.
 [Brother_Monterien] Well, they never spoke of it very much. I was a little surprised when they left, yes.
 [Ysabeau] Do you know... why my father lost his job?
 * Ysabeau seems a little anxious, asking about this.
 [Brother_Monterien] I believe a number of people who worked in the factory were dismissed at that time - I don't think it was a personal matter, just a case of newer machines needing fewer workers.
 * Ysabeau seems relieved; she couldn't imagine her father being dishonest or a shirker.
 [Ysabeau] Did they never mention their parents, or family?
 * Brother_Monterien considers, thinking back.
 [Brother_Monterien] I seem to recall that your mother mentioned once that her father had died when she was very young.
 [Ysabeau] Oh? :/
 [Brother_Monterien] I don't remember your father ever saying anything about his family, I'm sorry.
 [Ysabeau] It's all right.
 * Ysabeau smiles kindly.
 [Ysabeau] I didn't expect to learn everything all at once. :)
 * Brother_Monterien nods.
 * Brother_Monterien can skip to a few months further ahead in the register to find the record of your birth. No further information there, except that their addresses have changed to Val des Fentes.
 * Ysabeau will ask after Murienne's, too, just to cover all bases.
 [DiablotinNarrator] Same basic information as yours.
 [Ysabeau] (Also, how long after their wedding was I born? ;) )
 [DiablotinNarrator] (uh... I think like 4 months.)
 [Ysabeau] (lol, like mother like daughter...)
 * Ysabeau thanks Brother Monterien for his time and help, and will go see about making appointments to meet with her parents' friends.

 ===Ysabeau gets married===
 [DiablotinNarrator] Ysabeau, you and Martan have made your way to Greywatch, along with family and friends, in preparation for your upcoming nuptials.
 [DiablotinNarrator] It's wonderful to see the old places again, to take Martan to see your favourite spots, and to visit what's important to him as well.
 [DiablotinNarrator] You have met his foster-parents, Nyeri and Cleon Desrosiers, who have been relatively welcoming to you, though prone to scholarly distraction.
 * Ysabeau has tried to draw them into scholarly conversation, and has been very good about offering to help out around the house if they have no servants for meal prep, etc.
 * Ysabeau would have brought a suitable host gift as well, with input from Martan. ^-^
 [DiablotinNarrator] You have arranged for the wedding to be held in the temple you remember visiting with your parents as a child, which is the White Dome. You even have vague memories of the head priest there, an enormously fat man whose name is Brother Monterien, but whom everyone calls Monty.
 * Ysabeau is probably the happiest, most excited person in Val des Fentes as she makes the last minute arrangements.
 [DiablotinNarrator] He would also, presumably, be the first person to start your inquiries into your family's background with.
 [DiablotinNarrator] Do you want to do those before or after the wedding?
 [Ysabeau] (after, I think - I imagine I'd be too busy with wedding prep to spend much time interviewing Monty or poring over record books)
 [DiablotinNarrator] (that's fine)
 [DiablotinNarrator] The day of your wedding, the air is crisp with hints of the winter to come, but the sky is blue and the autumn leaves are beautiful.

 * Merrow is ready to accompany you to the temple, in order to give you away in lieu of your father.
 * Ysabeau is as ready as she'll ever be!
 [Merrow] Nervous?
 * Merrow asks as you wait to go in.
 [Ysabeau] You know what? I'm not really. Well, maybe a little nervous about tripping or something but not nervous at all about marrying Martan.
 * Merrow smiles.
 [Merrow] That's good, then.
 [Merrow] Time to go...
 [Ysabeau] Oh dear! Now I'm a little more nervous.
 * Merrow chuckles at that, and offers you his arm.
 * Ysabeau smiles up at him as she accepts his arm.
 [Ysabeau] Thank you so much for being here today, Merrow.
 [Ysabeau] It really means a lot to me.
 [Merrow] I'm glad I could do this for you.
 * Ysabeau will stand on her tiptoes to give him a peck on the cheek.
 [DiablotinNarrator] Inside the temple, the guests are few - Ilphere and Menard, Alma and Danyel, Hettie, Maze and Quirille, Nyeri and Cleon... but it's all right - Martan is there waiting for you, and that's all that matters.
 * Ysabeau is sure she must be the happiest woman alive today, and it probably shows. ;)
