The Full Motley

*"Was I to be a ritual sacrifice with ketchup?"*
—**Geàrra**

## **Plot Synopsis**

The episode opens with Geàrra waking up face-down and alone in the woods. She is wearing different clothes than she remembers, she is barefoot, and she is beat to hell. The forest is on fire, in front of her, and there is a strange circle of red slime in the grass. The last thing she remembers is speaking to Bleeger in "Shadows on Shadows". Soon, the others arrive, having followed footprints leading from Geàrra's window. Rubee and Geàrra meet for the first time.

Rubee checks Geàrra's wounds, and sees that she has been stabbed by a chimerical dagger; there is no way them to heal her but time. Aisling uses the Naming art to turn the building forest fire into a small campfire. The group examines the scene and discovers that the red slime is ketchup. They conclude that the scene is a bunk for a powerful cantrip. They find no evidence of anyone leaving the scene, despite the multiple sets of footprints that let them there.

The full group goes to Skita's house to decompress (and have a slumber party). As they all get comfortable, Skita gets a voicemail from her assistant about a new potential client. He is a young Chinese American man who plays country music, named Michael Yi. They watch a video of him playing. He is very, very good, and handsome. Aisling decides to watch every one of his videos, and asks to go to the meeting with him the next day. She has clearly developed a crush. The group finds out about Aisling's job as a streamer, and Skita asks if she wants representation.

Everyone goes to bed. Halie sleeps at the bottom of Skita's pool. Aisling sleeps in a cupboard under the sink.
