## Summary/Notes

##### **01/13/2015: Tuesday**

* Tom and 114 pay Abbot Graff a visit
	+ 114 is very, very anxious: something about the situation is viscerally incorrect
	+ Tom just wanted to leave, but 114 had a job to do, so they teleported inside the house--and promptly tripped
	+ get these flies some functional eyes
	+ They got shot several times while Tom was more worried about knowing what was going on than reacting
	+ 114: unconscious on the floor of Abbot's cabin
	+ He spotted Tom eventually, and shot at Tom, who barely got out of the way--and teleported back to his house, with +1 bullet wound
* So Tom called Cynthia, who showed up and patched him up a bit
	+ Her healing magic wasn't working: she's on Very thin ice
	+ In the morning when Tom was more coherent (but not fully awake), they did not succeed in calling him in to work, and Cynthia heard Tom's account of the previous night's escapades
* Frank checked in on a few people
	+ left a message for Jack at the funeral home, to check in
	+ After some digging, Afya scrounged up a name for Lorna's supposed murder victim: Robin Kohler
* Milo had some suggestions on things he and Willa could look into, since Willa's run into a wall as far as looking at their research goes
	+ Willa's professional opinion on the guy on a walk in the Gore a while ago is "probably park ranger"
	+ she also doesn't suggest going to the trail that leads into the valley. that's a bad spot to be
	+ footprints that just stopped though is kind of wild, Milo could look into that
* Frank called Cynthia: he's concerned about Lorna's haunting
	+ Cynthia's account of the weird tree behavior is probably unrelated, by Frank's diagnosis
	+ they eventually decide Frank can break into Lorna's house to look around while Cynthia distracts her
	+ So Cynthia invites Lorna for dinner tomorrow
* Cynthia spent some time hanging around the courthouse, and eventually knocked on the door
	+ She invited Auden for dinner, but he insisted he was busy
	+ He doesn't appreciate the fact you've been hanging out around when it's been snowing off and on all day, that's a little weird
* Tom called into work: he had a bad fall, and needs a couple days
* Milo went on a Gore adventure, looking for Willa's Bad Trail
	+ There were snowmobile tracks on the access road that eventually turn off into the woods, which Milo ignored
	+ There wasn't anything of note in the clearing, which Milo squinted at for a bit
	+ He gets back to the access road and there is A Moose off in Koval Ridge
	+ It's getting closer. and caused an avalanche. Milo cannot outrun an avalanche
	+ But at least he got pictures of the Moose before he got buried?

##### **01/14/2015: Wednesday**

* Frank had an early-morning chat with Brennan
	+ The contents of Christmas's book (and it's existence) doesn't make a good deal, that's information Brennan has already
	+ (it is his business to know things)
	+ He also insists there isn't anything at Mill Stream, he would be able to tell, so while it's possible there was something at one point it isn't there anymore
	+ So Frank sells his soul to Brennan after some consideration, now that he's gotten custody of it: he'll be Brennan's agent in town, and Brennan will answer a few questions
		- Curing Sal needs an expert in curses, of which Lorna is the best bet (though there is someone new to town who is knowledgeable enough, but Brennan hasn't had the time to have a chat and get the vibes)
		- The contents of Lorna's closet: what one would expect in a closet, plus a shoebox containing general witch supplies, including a skeletal human hand (an object of power)--Kohler's (a lover whom Lorna betrayed)
		- Shame about the witch cult, resulted in the loss of several "promising young locals". thankfully it's over now
		- As far as reaper rehab goes, Brennan's been focusing on 26, since they're the more promising case and the area needs a functional reaper
		- Tom has taken a shine to the former reaper--a situation Frank should stay out of, if he wants the reaper situation taken care of
		- Nicky's holed up at the morgue
		- Frank shouldn't get too attached to Nicky, since all the death outliers will have to be taken care of eventually--though Frank has now made himself an exception (in more ways than one)
* Frank called Cynthia, and let her know the heist was off, as well as offering the barest outline of what he learned from Brennan about Lorna
* Tom gets a call from Quest: they need to talk.
	+ So Tom is headed to the trading post
