New Year's Day (continued): Akira Kinpatsu, officer in the Trynser City Municipal Force, arrived and questioned Fern the Siegemaster, Juan de Fulmando, and Thaddeus Young.  The trio told him how they defended Professor Chalk (Delvin Courgin) from six armed attackers, that two were killed, two captured, and two escaped.  They also mentioned treating the injured, and how the group had called on Sardaster, a name Thaddeus only had recognized as a self-proclaimed prophet followed by a cult.
Delctra's Cauldron Deputy Constable Blackeye Snarkin arrived, and asked questions as well.  Fern noticed signs of rivalry between the two, and openly commented on it, while Juan tried to cover the faux paus.
The trio traveled with officers to make a report.  They saw a black covered wagon traveling on St. Bassard's Street to pick up the bodies.  The captain of the guard questioned the trio and got their home locations, then let them leave.  
Thaddeus returned home, and Akira, Juan, and Chalk accompanied Fern to her room at St. Bassard's School and Home for Disadvantaged Youth.  Fern noticed and sniffed two new carved pink rose wooden doorknobs on the double doors of the school. Entering, she joined her previously sleeping roommates Princess Alarra Gormann, Sister Henna Brenafar, and Rajzhela Carnelian. Alarra was the daughter of a late enemy warlord who rampaged and laid waste and had an attitude to match. Henna, who had a fencing boyfriend named Asric Nehonin, was a peacemaker and acolyte for the Divine Circle church, majoring in theistic studies. Rajzhela, who was part Thalosian, was quiet and shy and didn't get into trouble, although she did sometimes disappear after class for long hours at a time.  Fern went to bed.
Akira and Juan accompanied Chalk to his home at the Balsten Arms Building. They spoke of Mikoto, a fortune teller who was Akira's sister and knew Chalk.  Chalk's apartment was on the fifth floor of his building.  Sister Kyrie Kelevan, a teenage Candlebearer of Damira, was in his apartment.  Chalk said, "She's studying with me."  Akira and Juan left.  Juan went to his fourth floor room at Maisson Boulavier and went to bed.
In the morning, Eliza Boulavier, niece of Maisson Boulavier' proprietress Ethel Boulavier, knocked on Juan's door. He had chocolate chip waffles and "ice cream" (frozen milk) for breakfast, and as usual complimented Ethel and Eliza.
At St. Bassard's, Fern was served strawberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and focused on the bacon.  She wanted to learn in a workshop, but as the teachers were on vacation, instead worked on making tools for a chemistry tool kit.
Juan went to the home of Master Donghai Ping and got his two wards, Fuylu de Fulmando and Heva de Fulmando.  Then the three of them visited with Fern.  In front of witnesses including Fern, Juan swore an oath on his sword, the Broadsword of Ozsym.  "By Edyleine, Emeraldia, Herix, Delthon, and St. Qut, I promise on the Broadsword of Ozsym that this year I will protect my wards, the offprings of Ozsym's loins, Fuylu and Heva, and will come when they need me until they be on their own."
Asric, Henna, Fern, Fuylu,  Heva, Juan, and Rajzhela (after being talked into it) went to Razda's Lharasian Eats.  (Alarra rudely declined the invitation.)  They spoke on the way there.  Asric, a member of St. Bassard's Fencing Club, had a recent livid red fencing scar down the right side of his face for which Henna said he declined healing.  Fern mentioned the concept of making a gun that would quickly reload, which others thought an absurd idea.  All ate Lharasian land lobster legs except for Rajzela who had the pork skewer.  Heva remarked that they looked like spider legs, but all seemed to enjoy them except Asric, although Henna ate little.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 2018 12 13)
