Session 3

Session 3 starts with Charlie having a nightmare. They awaken in a dark world, standing on a carpeted path. All around them are faceless bodies all groaning and writhing in what seems to be extreme pain however the dream ends when a strong hand covers their eyes and they wake up.

When they begin their day they meet up with Ardalla with Bianca at the square. Then at 8:59 they see Natalie and Carmen running to the square with baguettes. Natalie dropping hers and Carmen managing to keep hers. Ardalla then explained that they were on patrol today but Charlie needed to meet with somebody in the building. When Charlie goes inside they meet with the receptionist. The recptionist guides them to an office where they meet Juno Nepos.

Juno Nepos, an older red headed woman, introduces herself as Charlie's therapist whilst they are within the military. She asks leading questions about Charlie's experiences and asks them their opinions on what they thought about the castra they had experienced the day before. However before they could answer a voice in Charlie's head tells them to lie as they begin to feel a burn in their back as Juno speaks.

Charlie then leaves the room to find Carmen waiting for them outside. Carmen explains that Ardalla has paired them up to patrol together. Carmen leads the journey and then ended up at a market. Carmen insisted that this was part of the patrol but Charlie was unsure.

Carmen goes shopping and Charlie stops at a book stall whete they bought an old myth book written in Casian. Charlie overpays for it in Carmen's eyes but to Charlie the book seems priceless. Moving onto another stall that was filled with antiques and gold, Carmen spots a set of Casian marriage bands. After asking Charlie about them, she picks them up and hands them to Charlie to inspect. Carmen then asks him for his papers and he dodges the questions.

After further questions, the seller makes a break for it where Charlie is impressed by Carmen's skills as she took down the seller. After handing the seller off to the police, Carmen and Charlie take their items (inclusing the marriage bands that are inscribed Fredrick and Rebecka Callow) and continue their "patrol". Carmen notes that the bands share Natalie's last name. Charlie makes a mental note to bring it up to Natalie.

The squad regroups and Ardalla is not impressed by Carmen's idea of patrolling. The squad then separates and will reconvene after a break at the training centre.

During the break, Ardalla and Charlie make their way to the North where they intended to pick up some of Charlie's belongings. Once they are on the train Charlie recounts their experience with Juno and Ardalla tells them that "Only a fool doesn't know the strength of their tongue."

When they arrived at the Chadwick estate Dacian greeted Charlie happily as edith and the other staff began to fill a car for Charlie. Dacian then told Charlie about his imaginary friend. Charlie smiled with their brother and all was well until their mother got home.

They had a brief encounter where Audrey didnt hide her animosity towards Charlie and their decisions whilst bragging about her achievements. This led to Charlie making a quick escape after briefly talking to Edith.

Ardalla and Charlie then went back to their house where they placed to their stuff down in their room before they went off to the training centre.

At the training centre, the groups warmed up before beginning to spar. First of all Bianca and Charlie where they bested her. Then through some inventive moves they bested Nataie but lost to Carmen after she used her ability.

The session ended with the group going home and Charlie checking their phone and recieving some messages.
