09 Lucky Number Slevin

The decision is reached to return Nick the satyr to Yan's, after they find Tala. Burble, still holding on to one of The Duke's poker chips, is hit by a car! Thankfully he suffers only a few scrapes on his bottom, which Dette is quick to cover. Mickyl heads back to grab their car, and they're off to the nearby bus depot. Spotting the voile-less Tala across the road, Burble dashes over... and is hit by a bus!! Once again avoiding major injury, he and Dette persuade Tala to come along with them. On the drive back to Yan's, Mickyl's car runs out of gas... and the passenger side door is shorn off by another speeding car!!
Bemoaning their luck, the trio get Tala and Nick back to Yan's, where the eshu's voile and memory returns. Tala re-introduces herself as Lady Fala ap Gwydion, and Nick as Lord MacAlistar ap Gwydion of Homefires... two members of the Golden Braid! Dette immediately heads off to inform Lady Jenwy of their guests while Mickyl stuffs frozen peas down Burble's pants. For medical reasons, certainly...
Lord MacAlistar explains what he knows: a device known as the APEE (Advanced Probability Enhancement Engine) has been stolen, and they have reason to believe it is connected to The Duke. Burble theorizes that luck, directed by Dán, is a zero-sum game, and that any enhanced luck must result in bad luck for others. What if The Duke has found a way to "direct" that bad luck at his targets? What if Burble has become a target by winning?
Bo carries in a limp Score, who seems to perk up a bit when Dette and Mickyl play rock-paper-scissors... but there must be some link between the Chimera, the stolen APEE, and athletics being taken down! Could they find a way into The Duke's inner circle using the nocker Klank?
Taking their guests to bed, Lady Jenwy orders pizza for the trio, over which Dette admits that she is concerned that she's done the wrong thing recently in service of a greater good. Jenwy is quick to find the positive... and Burble takes note. The Lady Jenwy is certainly fond of all three of them, but might there be the possibility of some romance to come? Using his Boggan blessing, he puts Jenwy, Dette, and Mickyl's romantic lives in the hands of the Dreaming....
