Your only choice is to be happy

This session was mainly taking place in weird ass dream space. Lottie woke up in a sea of Julius's blood, and then Julius's arms lift her out of it. She calls for him, he actually manages to enter her dream and join her. They see the pyramid rising from the blood. Julius looks up, his eyes get burned away as he looks at three ancient beings hovering in the air, and "there's always been three".

They need to find Frankie and try to reach him - but get no reply. Drinking from the sea of blood, Julius's eyes are restored ... but they're now looking exactly like Lottie's. There's mysticism afoot - something is unravelling and Creation is trying to catch up with itself. It's related to Jeanine's blood situation and Frankie is important ... somehow. They also get a sense that it's important to watch Creation to its completion.

Frankie, meanwhile, gets interrogated by the primordial goddess Gaia, who gets a bit frosty when finding out that he's a vampire, but looking into his soul makes her a bit friendlier. He's a man, despite also being a moving corpse, that's why he matters, apparently. When saying he shouldn't allow the Beast to become all that he is, he asks if there's a way to get rid of it. Well, no, but she has a few pointers for what he might want to consider to get as close to that as he can.

He does hear Julius calling for him, but dismisses it as a weird dream thing and doesn't respond, as he's busy witnessing the Greek primordial myth and was told to watch it closely. It appears that Tartarus and possibly Eros were missing from this?

The trio all wake up with bright golden auras - and Julius now has golden eyes, just like Lottie.

It appears we are the Chosen Ones.

“He must have had a tactical reason for it.”
“Tactical reason? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?”

“They’re so happy as well.”
“They have no other choice, in fact!”

“Well done for doing something that actually alarmed Lottie. That’s quite hard to do these days.”

“Oh good, I was worried she was gonna be cryptic.”

Frankie: “Why are you showing yourself to me?”
Player: “Because your little cousin is too busy having fucked up blood sex dreams.”

Frankie: “I’ll either succeed, or I’ll die trying.”
Gaia: “Yes. You will.”

GM: “Hey! My character, my game, my shade!”

Player: “Like she needed another reason to jump him.”
GM: “And another night where you could’ve contacted Aisling …”
