Matthew’s Magpie Merric’s Fae games (Plot)
December 7 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Location: Lauriea
Calendar Type: Plot
Description
Matthew Montrose has been enlisted by the Concordat to source a roster of struggling influences, wannabe reality-TV personalities, and mid-tier streamers to compete in Magpie Merric’s Fae Games in the OTher. In return for delivering this brand of desperate, attention-seeking talent, they’ve agreed to supply Matthew with the cargo he needs to pull himself out of default on the Faelord Debt he’s been quietly servicing for the past fifteen years.
Magpie Merric’s Games are rumored to be an annual spectacle, think talent show meets the Olympics, where competitors are judged on showmanship, comedy, dance, physical prowess, and whatever other bizarre criteria Merric dreams up. The Games are entertainment, currency, and ritual all rolled into one and the Concordat expects Matthew to deliver bodies that can put on a good show, or at least make a memorable mess.
Anyone assisting Matthew will accompany him in escorting the talent troupe into Merric’s domain in Lauriea, shepherding them through the Faelord’s gates and delivering them safely into his court for the Games. On paper, it should be simple, but nothing involving the Fae ever is. For starters none of the people enlisted are supernaturally aware (just the way the Magpie likes it), and the cover story (they’re on a very elaborate realty television set) must be maintained at all costs. Expect surprises, trickery, shifting rules, and a spoonful of danger.
