Chapter 86 by Zingiber Zingiber

What's your next Move?

Go find Golondrina. On a MISS, she fends you off.

You stand taller, in your new red and gold, with the Leontes Prefect's pin on your shoulder. A prefect. In House Leontes. With Fay still by your side in a House she'd derided more than you had ever thrown shade at Draconis. What sort of world were you living in now?

You flash on her profile, tall and noble, her long hair swept back, looking out the window at the clouds.

You're in Golondrina's world. The maiden from the Dragonfolk has enchanted you both, you and Fay, and drawn you into her orbit.

And here you are. You straighten your shoulders, tug at your gleaming new Prefect's pin, and go off to look for Golondrina. Perhaps she'll let you pounce on her if she's in the mood.


⚁⚀ - 1 = 2, Miss.


"Morgannnn," Golondrina says, fending you off with raised palms, "I'm busyyyy."

"Please, Golondrina," you say. With no one about, you repeat, "Please, Lolo."

Golondrina snorts. Her hands are firm against the front of your robe, holding you at a distance. "This prefect thing has gone to your head," she says.

"It's not that," you say. "It's...it's you. I mean, the only reason I'm a prefect, the only reason I'm in Leontes, that Fay's in Leontes, is you.

Her expression softens. "My Conjurations practice isn't going to do itself," she says. "And my partner will squeal to the teacher if I'm late again. They could pull your Prefect's pin if they find out you made me late."

You sigh. "All right," you say. "But promise."

"Promise?" Golondrina says.

"Just say it," you say. "I promise."

Golondrina's half-smile broadens into a silly grin. "All RIGHT, Morgan," she says. "I promise."

"That's all I wanted," you say. "Later."


You have +2 Ambition, -1 Bravery, +2 Cunning, +0 Diligence.

You are a Prefect in House Leontes, still feeling like a fish out of water.
Your FRIENDS are Fay and Grace Winterthorn in House Leontes.

You have 3 XP.

Possible moves:

  • Look for Grace Winterthorn and perhaps celebrate with her (ENCOUNTER toward HAVE SEX): +BRAVERY(+1) (-1 Bravery, +2 FRIEND).
  • Get Fay's opinion on how to get yourselves settled at House Leontes. (ENCOUNTER toward ASK FOR A FAVOR): +BRAVERY(+1) (-1 Bravery, +2 FRIEND).
  • Ask the TUTOR for a GOAL (or get assigned one) related to your role as a Prefect.

Perhaps Grace, with her longer time since leaving Minerval for Leontes, might be better to ask about the lay of the land, while Fay would be pleased to celebrate with a roll on your fresh new bed.
