04 Rocky

The trio are watching for signs of trouble at games around the city: at the game Dette is attending, the ref calls the game early and then takes off running! Dette corners him in an alley, and learns that the kid is scared. He was told to call any of his games "at the first sign of violence" and, despite there not having been any, felt that a goal coming unmoored was reason enough. Satisfied that a conspiracy is afoot, Dette vanishes in the twinkling of an eye.Meanwhile, Mickyl's game of Ultimate Frisbee has erupted into a melee after an accidental hit to the head from a player. The redcap stays with the victim as the rest of the players flee, and a Molotov cocktail goes off in a nearby vehicle! The police are on the scene quickly, and question Mickyl about the game... and a recent assault on a researcher at Carleton University. Mickyl's quick wits keep her out of trouble this time, and it's clear she has a history with the police. 
The trio reunite to learn that the mayor of Ottawa has put a moratorium on all amateur organized sports! Clearly, someone's plan has succeeded... but what's the link to Score? Back at Yan's, Burble discovers that the cat's "battery is low", but it seems to perk up when the trio compete at darts. Perhaps Score needs competition...?
The trio needs more information, and sets off to The House of Scrolls, located beneath the Library of Parliament and requiring a coin be tossed into Centennial Flame to enter. The trio venture through a tunnel lit with torches until they enter the freehold proper to bursts of coloured smoke! A piskie, Kilin, informs them he's synthesizing the smell of his own memories... though they seem to be mostly a bit sad. The trio sit down with the freeholder, Standish Piraeus, to tell him about Score. The satyr informs them that Score is most like a Quixotic Lycian -- an intangible quality made real: in this case, the numerical tallying of competitive ventures! 
The satyr serves some dinner to the trio while attempting to inspire them. There are many paths they could take to reclaim sporting in the city to continue to inspire Dreamers... but which path will they take? On their way out, Burble quickly sizes up Kilin's experiment and realizes what he needs to succeed. The boggan also snoops over Mickyl's shoulder and learns the redcap is planning to run camps for kids... and make a Burble-Lettuce-Tomato sandwich? Dette's thoughts are on the future: she contacts her teammates and coaches with the Canada Geese and convinces them to run an exhibition game in the summer to inspire those who are without athletics for the time-being.
Back at Yan's, the trio watch as Lady Jenwy teaches the young teen she helped to better skate in the Park. With Dette's judicious Flicker Flies lending him confidence, the boy falls down and picks himself up again multiple times -- that is, until one instant when the trio have intense Déjà Vu watching Lady Jenwy reach out towards him. It is unlikely to be related to their past lives, but the feeling of familiarity is strong. Is it possible they were made to forget something?
