03 Rear Window

Banging at the door to the freehold is a mortal couple from the soccer game, desperate to understand why the game erupted into violence. Mickyl cows them, and Dette is quick to cast Flicker Flies to bring a measure of calm to the proceedings. Providing the three with a video of the incident adds only questions: what caused the shift in the mood at the game? And where is the man in the trenchcoat? Strangely enough, as the couple leave, it would appear they're having a hard time remembering why they were so angry in the first place...Over dinner at the Elgin Street Diner, a usual haunt, Burble proposes that Yan's host a large team sporting event to try to draw the culprit out. Dette insists they wait until there's a pattern... when suddenly, breaking news reports violence at a baseball game, and at a university lacrosse game!
Spotting who they believe to be a Kithain in the interview, the trio visit Dr. Anthony Rivald at Carleton University. Rather than being a Sluagh, the research associate is cloaked in Banality; he tells them that his conclusion is that "children are reinforcing their learned violence" on the field, and that his recommendation to the city of Ottawa was to shut down all athletic events for several weeks. All three Kithain go off on him, but only Mickyl manages to move Rivald... to soiling himself. 
On their way out, Dette has an impromptu interview with sports reporter Alycia Senten in which she extolls the virtues of organized sporting for youth. In the hopes of spreading Dreams of adventure to all, they set off to learn more about the violence plaguing organized sports.
All three attend separate games, with Dette's ending with no score after a shocking call by a referee. The game of Ultimate Frisbee that Mickyl is attending, however, takes a turn for the ugly after an unfortunate injury. Mickyl tries to defuse the brawl through force of personality, but while tending to the injured, an explosion rocks the field!
