Down the Rabbit Hole Part 1

## Episode 7 - The FeyWild West

Captain James Wilde steps out of Felicia Firehawk's house a few minutes later. He offered Seline and Talia the wall outside his office for the evening before he leaves. Seline and Talia make their way to Katie's Zoo, a pet store in the upper mesa. Talia pays 100 gold pieces for the shop to temporarily close to accommodate Adrienne. While waiting for the other patrons to leave, Seline casts speak with animals. Birds all about the store are shouting at each other to shut up. Happily Seline goes over to a macaw and greets it. The macaw rudely tells Seline to go away to which Seline responds in kind. Parents cover their children's ears and usher them quickly out of the store. Talia slips Lisa another hundred gold in apology. Disappointed Seline makes her way over to the ravens and comments on the macaw's rudeness. One of the crows responds they're always complaining. Though when Seline asks one of them says the only white crow they've seen was pushed out of their mother's nest as a hatchling. About the blue jay, they say he thinks he's fancy because he has blue feathers. When Seline compliments the blue jay on his feathers, he self-importantly says "I know." Meanwhile now the shop has emptied, Talia gets Adrienne and Jareth. At the sight of Jareth, Lisa urges her grandmother Katie clean the cages in the back of the store. Talia strongly urges Jareth to watch over Seline who is talking to a baby dragon... Iguana and then chinchillas. Talia and Adrienne make their way over to the kittens. Adrienne takes out two and plays with them quietly. Seline's spell wears off while with the chinchillas and she makes her way over to the rabbits. Adrienne chooses a black cat with white paws. Talia pays for the kitten and all the supplies that she's going to need for it. Seline holds a white rabbit while Talia returns Jareth and Adrienne to the estate. As they're leaving the shop, Talia notices the white bunny Seline was holding now has polka dots. At the library before reaching Symbology (where the Researcher's Respite is today), Jareth comes out of the estate to join Seline and Talia to see Ernest. They ask Allen Greenwick how he is doing because he seems kind of down. He says that Talia was the last one to visit him. He points out where the Researcher's Respite is today. Today he's researching an a symbol that was found in some ruins south of Rillvell . It appeared to have been a settlement of elves from the Horror period. All the writing found there was of a known Elvish script but doesn't match unknown dialect. From what he's figured it out so far is that they were early nature worshipers possibly of the Great Oak. The Argent-Greys make their way to the Respite where Talia introduces Jareth to one of the Renns. Before going into the Devil's Delight, Talia warns Jareth not to look into Albee's face. When Seline sees Albee, she notices that he is an inch to the left of where he usually stands. He has shifted so he can continue to see the whole. Soon he will not be able to see the hole from where he stands and well have to move oh, he says cryptically. He is also seen the door moved to Seline and it will go away... Soon.

> **Seline Argent-Grey**Good day for a wall.**Albee**Things are shifting.**Seline Argent-Grey**I'll say.**Albee**They always do**Seline Argent-Grey**What do you mean?**Albee**Things move, things change, things go back to the way they were, and it starts over again. In time I will no longer be able to see all from this spot and I must move**Seline Argent-Grey**I see that you have already moved. Is it that slow or are you just slowly move on maybe out of the shop and just keep moving? Like an inch every 6 months?**Albee**No sometime soon this spot will close to where I can only see a part and not the whole and I search and find for another spot to see the whole**Seline Argent-Grey**How soon do you think that will be?**Albee**Soon**Seline Argent-Grey**Okay are we talkin tomorrow soon or like Blizzard soon? It could be anytime between now and the next 50 years?**Albee**Soon.**Seline Argent-Grey**You are just as bad as Blizzard, you know that?**Talia Argent-Grey**Hello, fourth wall.**Seline Argent-Grey**Anything happened in the past few days of note, that you saw?**Albee**A door moved.**Seline Argent-Grey**Moved?**Albee**To you, for a Time**Seline Argent-Grey**How long until it goes away?**Albee**Soon**Seline Argent-Grey**Good. Do you know what it means?**Albee**A resonance**Seline Argent-Grey**Resonance, what am I resonating with?**Ablee**Yourself**Seline Argent-Grey**Soon I will not be resonating with myself?**Albee**When you strike a chime, the note plays. But then after a time the note fades. It is never truly gone is just too quiet to hear.**Seline Argent-Grey**(...)**Albee**You have been struck, soon the note will fade.**Seline Argent-Grey**What have I been struck by?**Albee**A conductor.**Seline Argent-Grey**A conductor? As in a person or conductor as in a metal conduit?**Talia Argent-Grey**Or like a crystal?**Seline Argent-Grey**Is that it?**Talia Argent-Grey**Honey, it literally smells like the feywilds**Seline Argent-Grey**How long will it last?**Albee**It will fade soon.**Seline Argent-Grey**Not soon enough**Albee**I may tell you something it will fade soon perhaps not soon enough for you but also too soon for you. Time is... time.**Seline Argent-Grey**I don't understand.**Albee**Time is only itself. It is not anything to anything else. If you are able to see all, you do not see time. And time means nothing to anything not trapped in it. So as I tell you soon now, you are also telling me now that it was too soon. And you are also telling me now of star whales and you are also telling me now of the hole.[Albee motions at his face.]**Seline Argent-Grey**I still don't understand.**Albee**No you do not.**Seline Argent-Grey**I wish I could see everything. Maybe I wouldn't be so confused then.**Albee**Would you like to?**Seline Argent-Grey**Seriously?**Albee**For a moment**Seline Argent-Grey**Okay don't take this the wrong way but I'm not going to get sucked into your face am I, like forever?**Albee**No.[Seline looks at Talia.]**Cris Sass-Council**She's doing that fish thing, opening and closing her mouth like she has a protest but doesn't know what to say of like don't look at forever? But can't really say why but at the same time is also really curious. What would Seline do?**Seline Argent-Grey**Yeah sure.**DM Molly**He takes a step back from where he was and motions for you to stand where he was standing.... he's continuously just looking out and he takes his hands and just puts them on either side of your head and suddenly you see the wall of the shop, you see the shop as a whole without looking around. You see Ernest, Renn. You see Ravari in her shop and every single potion label. You see Master Talden at the Aeronaut's Pleasure, you see every single bubble in their hot tub. You see Felicia in her house and more and more and it all rushes in and collides and eventually you're just floating in space staring at a swirling cosmos of everything and you're able to look and focusing on absolutely anything. And you focus back in on the Devil's Delights and you see yourself with Albee but not now you see when you were last here and the time before that and you see a time that hasn't happened yet and this infinite string and some are different, some look like that time you were here the last time but instead of wearing a white dress, it's red or you have black hair and it's this entire infinity string of a million different possibilities...**Seline Argent-Grey**Can I see my parents?**DM Molly**You focus and on your home village and again you see it as it is now but you see it splinter off into a million infinite different reflections and some are as it was when you saw it last some of them look exactly as it was in your childhood focusing in on the one that looks like the last time you saw it, you're able to see the graveyard, your parents' graves. You're able to see everyone in the town as you left it. Although you see that the the old man Kan, he passed away. So you zoom back out and focusing on a different point, a different point that you see yourself as a child with your father and mother...**Seline Argent-Grey**What do they look like?**DM Molly**At first you almost mistake your mother for yourself as you are now. She's a little bit taller but if you could walk there now, you could be mistaken for twins. Suddenly you realize you could. You could reach out and touch it now. you could stop from here to there. There's no distance.[Seline lifts her hand.]**DM Molly**As you reach out to her it all vanishes and you're touching the wall and Albee has pulled his hands away.[Talia has moved up really close, ready to grab Seline.]**Talia Argent-Grey**Are you okay?[Seline nods.]**Seline Argent-Grey**Is that what you see? All the time?[Albee nods]

Ernest is still a little shaken from the past few days events. He identifies the undecided magical items, one is a dark red pouch with a gold drawstring it is dust of disappearance just enough for one use. You dump it into your hand and throw it into the air, you and anyone within ten feet of you become invisible anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes. The other is an intricately carved box, 12 inches long by 6 inches wide 6in deep. A white and blue cloth unfolds from the box and forms a small little boat at the command of open one. At the command of close 1, it returns to the Box. It has two other sizes also. The old style guitar is a mastercraft bard instrument. Talia asks for portable hole and some upgrades for the estate. Instead, Ernest offers a door knob with a curly Loop handle and set it on the wall. He asked Talia to imagine what she wanted as far as the house. She does and then open the door and it is looking down a country lane with hedges on other side a packed gravel path that goes down about 50 ft before widening out to a Circle Drive with a water feature. There are two houses: one smaller one larger. Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion is what Ernest studied to make the tents and the estate. Mansion comes with silent servants, a stable and an area for the horses to run around in. Talia buys a portable hole and the mansion with three door knobs exchange for the staff with the gem on top and gold. Before Seline leaves the shop she thanks Albee. He says he can't show her again.
