Whimsy's log, Chapter 121

Tuesday, August 29, 2994

Whimsy talks with Grayson in Avalon. He agrees to accompany Whimsy back to Amber to deal with Jack.

Whimsy tries to Trump Fiona...no response, so they Trump to Amber City and return to Whimsy's quarters.

Whimsy talks to Elaine a bit...gathers what information she can...learns that Fiona is still gone and also learns the story of what happened with Vixen and Leto. Elaine agrees to keep Grayson busy while Whimsy runs some errands. Ishmael interrupts the meeting, knocking down Whimsy's door. She tells him about Jack, but he remembers an errand and leaves before they can chat much further.

Outside her rooms, Whimsy Trumps Teresa and pulls her to Amber. She tells Teresa about Jack and his likely appearance that night at the ball. Teresa agrees to help.

Whimsy Trumps Nicholas and goes to him. She warns him about Jack...he suggests a possible solution: Whimsy is to go with Vixen to locate the Faerie Ward. Whimsy grumbles about having to work with Vixen...but goes. Nicholas gives her a Trump of Vixen...she Trumps her...and goes through.

Vixen and Whimsy talk about the plan...Whimsy agrees to use her magic to help Vixen track the Ward. Vixen Trumps someone for confirmation first. After Whimsy casts the spell, Vixen thanks her and knocks her out. When Whimsy awakens with a broken nose, Vixen is long gone.

Whimsy Trumps Ariana, who fixes her nose. They talk about Jack, Vixen, and Leto. Ariana is angry that Grayson invited Jack, and angry about Vixen's attempted assassination of Leto and her unborn child.

When Whimsy tries to Trump Nicholas, she finds a package in her bag...addressed to Nicholas. No doubt Vixen's work. Angry, she Trumps Nicholas...then walks to his office. She rants about how much she dislikes Vixen and how she'd just as soon not be assigned to work with her again. She gives him the package and departs.

Whimsy Trumps Ishmael, who tries to ignore her. She forces him to pull her through...and they chat further about Jack. He needs money, which she provides. He also mentions Alexandra...has an attraction for her. Whimsy sees a wicked possibility and offers to introduce them, saying nothing of who Alexandra is.

Whimsy goes to the dressmaker, gets her clothes. Goes to her rooms and has Elaine help her get ready for the ball. Still no word from Fiona.

At the ball, not much happens though Jack is there. Eventually, Whimsy and Jack dance and flirt. When the others close in, he pulls Whimsy through the floor with him, and causes her to lose consciousness.

Whimsy awakens in Faerie to find herself tied up...with none of her magical devices and her conjuration powers negated. After much banter, Jack releases her...and shows her the Faerie Circle. He then returns her to the ball.

Whimsy appears under the table at dinner. Using her conjuration she creates a distraction and then hops into her chair. Tries to eat and pretend nothing untoward happened. Dinner is amusing. Whimsy casts no spells but nevertheless creates much chaos. Her only magic is to conjure a note on Grayson's plate which warns about how much Mother disapproves of spellcasting at the table. Ishmael and Alexandra flirt/make complete asses of themselves...with Whimsy prodding them along. Vixen is noticeably absent, and Eric keeps giving Whimsy strange looks, which she ignores. Eventually, Fiona puts a binding spell on Whimsy that prevents her from using faerie magic (which she wasn't anyway) and puts a silence spell on Ishmael. Dinner then goes fairly well.

The family adjourns to receive their titles. When Random goes to escort Whimsy forward, she nearly psychically whammies him, but thinks better of it. She is announced under both names, and is content.

At the dance afterwards, Whimsy dances with Grayson...who is delightful to chat with...and also with Ishmael. Whimsy sits to the side, eventually, and chats with Mirelle about men and things. She eventually notices her engagement ring...much to her distress.

After getting a dangerous Mirelle completely drunk, Whimsy retires to her room for a long, hot bath. Jack appears and they chat. He breaks Fiona's binding and leaves his signature all over it. When Fiona appears, Whimsy is already out of the tub and drying off. Fiona leaves...Whimsy follows, wanting to talk. Fiona ignores her and suggests it wait until the morning.

Whimsy dries off and goes to sleep.

In the morning, Whimsy goes to breakfast with the family, where Ishmael is kind enough to tell them all that she killed her first husband. Later, she writes her latest journal entry and works on painting a rendering of the Faerie Circle, which she saw in Faerie.
