I did a lot of work determining when during the year this story takes place (October 6, for those interested - northern hemisphere). I also figured out the moon cycle. There are so many concerns when you really start fleshing out a story, it seems.

Character appearances:

Ileana and Karma - We see inside Ileana’s mind a little for the first time to learn about Rusalka. Why is she so angry? (And yes, Ileana channels Yoda…)

Aife and Zeigh - Their trip to the Dungeon Gear Emporium to purchase a gag. Mary, the statue, is there to haunt poor Zeigh. I stole some fantasy dungeon gear from other writers (and will do so again!). Thanks to CelestialSecrets for ThighGap Thigh Chains and absolutissimus for the USD.

Seth - We are introduced to an enforcer who believes he has an easy job lined up to expose Skylar, another new character. Divinica, the new Holy Mother, sentences Vatica, Maisie’s aunt and the former Holy Mother who was mentioned back at 0 - 0 - 0 - 13:20.

We return to find Aife and Zeigh back from shopping and trying out the new gag. Product placement: Onkana’s Nesting Cages.

Maisie and Piper - Maisie is still dressed as she was back at 0 - 0 - 3 - 20:26. She is reunited with her lover, Piper, in a new cell especially configured for the two of them. As a reminder, Piper’s affliction was described at 0 - 0 - 2 - 02:15.
