Noctis
  • We ask Lily about
    • The original 5 moon knights
      • Chicot is kinda Enoch's pet at this point, p sad
      • Orchid = orc kid - acts like a kid, looks like a kid, extremely deadly
      • December had a Vara lab and is v interested in helping with Enoch's plan to bring the Death Cure (vampirism)
        • December's lab is still running in Vara, but December lives in Noctis City
      • Star = later addition - soldier that fell in battle and was dying until Enoch revived him
    • Noctis tries to bring werewolves and wizards (lich) into the fold, but they're generally not the that present in Noctis
    • December will be at the scepter tonight
      • There are rumors that the Resistance and/or Blitz and Belinda might show up, so expect heightened security
    • Human x Vampire babies = Dhampirs
      • Have a connection to some vampiric powers but they are daywalkers who eat normal food

    • Isadora is the tour guide; Vlad and Ciaran Vance are also on the tour. All three are vampires
    • Vlad and Ciaran are well-known artists and are very rich
    • Called the Rose Citadel because it was a gift from Shar (goddess of night but ALSO of loss)

    • Keyheatis senses the sun seed in the castle
    • We see many statues showing the 5 original founders and plenty of "we killed death" statues
      • Chicot is looking in a different direction than the other 4 (The Rat gets a fate point for his niiiice question)
      • He used to be a happy fun dude, now he's more of a wandering vampire
    • All Moon Knights live in the castle
    • Vlad pulls Keyheatis aside and offers to tell her more about Chicot
      • Chicot is braindead now, more like an animal
      • He's been like this since he was brought back (because he was dead for 20 years)
      • Enoch still talks to Chicot

    • Came across a tribe of bullywogs (short stout frog people, smart, friendly, and can talk, but not often seen)
    • Bullywogs were concerned because the king bullywog secluded himself in his (massive palace) tent and they were worried about him
    • Three times, the King comes out and says he needs a sacrifice
    • Three times, bullywogs offer themselves up as sacrifices and the weather gets worse with each one
    • The King comes out and tells them that it was all a hoax, he is stepping down, and the three who offered to sacrifice themselves became the Council of Bullywogs
  • We arrive on Exos and go to Tsunoch (village) to see a gigantic, shimmery, spiky/lumpy, black castle erupting from the land 
  • Chloe says it's new, growing, but not under construction

    • Tsunoch is the still human village which is pretty empty now

      • Jimmy (pufferfish) bullies him about getting lost !!!
    • We tell Servant all the info we got from Billy Joel
      • Gravity and spatial logic are all fucky in the structure
      • The structure is an interdimensional thing called a Shuerqitath (from B'atar) that can connect multiple planes or locations on the same plane
      • Likely that it's being used for portal travel
      • If we destroy the structure, the core and other connections remain. If we destroy the core, we destroy all the connections at once.
      • Has an immune system of demons that can clear out infections
      • The only way to destroy the structure is to burn it
    • We go to crazy town
