## Plot Summary

Gille, Bob, Mersel, and Sandy woke up after the Chihiro Festival to find that all four of them have been colourised, all the way to their line art. Bob and Sandy panic initially, however with the assistance of Mersel and Gille, calmed down enough for them to start to formulate a plan for rectifying the issue.

They identified the strange mark Gille had seen on the back of their bath tokens to be the source of the trouble, which, looking at it again, Mersel was able to read as saying 'INSULT'

They headed downstairs to speak to the staff of the bathhouse, who pointed them to the boilerman, as it's a bath issue. The boilerman initially is hesitant to help, but hands them their used bath token from the day before. It has the same text on the back, however it is now in black ink, rather than in red. Once this is pointed out to the boilerman, he was able to identify it as a curse upon the party, even narrowing it down to the witch that placed it there: Zenaba. He provides them with a possible way to get to Marshbum, where she lives, in the form of a flyer for SAVOIA SEAPLANE TOURS, which is located just outside of town.

Before departing, the party made a sweep of their room upstairs to make sure they have not left any of their belongings behind, and also to steal all the little hotel soaps and such. Bob made an attempt to get his money back for their as of yet unused blue meal tickets, to no avail.

The party made their way with no incident to the airstrip that is home to Savoia Seaplane Tours. There, they met Rio Savoia, the owner of the establishment. After listening to their plight, she offered to lead them to Marshbum, provided they can fly the other seaplanes in her fleet, at a discount to her normal tour fee.

On the way down the coast, the group was attacked by trophy hunters -also flying seaplanes- who open fire without so much as a hello. Angry that anyone would fire on her planes, Rio instructed the party to fight back with the onboard machine guns.

A dogfight plays out, with one of the enemy planes crashing into the ocean, and the other two being forced to make emergency landings. The Savoia planes came away unharmed.

Rio led the party the rest of the way to Marshbum, where they disembarked from their planes, on to solid, if soggy, ground.

Among the marshes, they were set upon a path by a strange lantern creature that has the wings of a bird. They followed the "bird" down the path, between the murky trees and mud to an out of place cottage, which is teeming with magic. Rad, in his infinite curiosity, led the way inside, where they came face to face with the woman Sandy bumped into at the banquet: Zenaba.

Zenaba invited them in and provided tea and pie as if she were a normal grandmother, as well as a lot of condescending remarks. After making everyone very uncomfortable, she relented to assisting remove the red colour from their bodies.

She directed them to her spinning wheel, which they needed to each feed a piece of themselves into, in order to make something that would take on the red colour for them. Working together, the party spun a silver floss on the wheel, which Zenaba then used to create four silver bands, no bigger than a hair elastic. After handing them out, the party nearly fell over with the force of the red colour being pulled off them, into the bands.

They were then back to normal, though still very upset. Zenaba followed the party to the cottage door, where she watched them depart back towards the coast where Rio is waiting for them.

An attempt at a heart to heart was made on the path, but they are largely too shaken to talk much about what they have endured.

## Notes

Whis' internet was a butt towards the end of the session, so the recording is interrupted somewhat towards the end. It is however, in spite of this, complete.
