A Night in the Lonely October
8th Oct. Jack and Snuff have an interesting visitor - one Larry Talbot. While he is taking tea with Jack - talking about horticulture of all things - the Thing in the Wardrobe managed to get out. Snuff drove it back in and forced the door shut - Jack came in just in time to throw the latch. Larry followed a few seconds later. When he left, he offered his help in the coming month - said that he could guess their orientation.
Owen the druid tried to poison Snuff but he could smell the additives in the meat and so buried it instead, Quicklime in the tree, watching. He asks about Larry Talbot - wanting to know if he's in the Game. Snuff admits that he thinks so but that the man does not seem to have a companion. Quicklime suggests that he might be his own best friend. Quicklime then tells Snuff that MacCab has thrown Graymalk in the well outside Crazy Jill's house - he thought it was too early in the Game to start eliminating players. Snuff ran to Crazy Jill's and dropped the bucket into the well for Graymalk to climb into then he cranked it back up. Graymalk explained that Jill had taken some herbs from MacCab and Morris - that they'd been on the porch and she'd taken them. Snuff told Graymalk about Larry Talbot and Bubo's visit as well. Graymalk promised to go with him to check out the Count's resting place after she'd recovered from the shock of her near drowning.
9th Oct. Snuff and Graymalk went to check on the Count's resting place the previous day. Graymalk had climbed down and when she came back she reported that she'd seen a casket and some personal belongings but no mirror. And Needles himself sleeping hung up on a protruding root. Afterwards, Snuff invited her in to see the Things in the Mirror. She asked what they were for and he replied that they were sticky. He walked her home but she told him that she couldn't invite him in in turn. She was quite apologetic about it, but Snuff was philosophical.
Late on the 9th, Jack and Snuff out on the town collecting ingredients, they run into the Great Detective and his companion. The detective warns Jack that things are getting dangerous and he should be careful. Jack agrees. Soon after parting from the detective, they meet Larry Talbot and we learn that he is an American. When he admits to being a moon-watcher, Jack admits that he suspected it to be the case. Larry warns Jack that the Count is in the Game and that he suspects the Middle-European man to be an opener. They parted to go home. Nightwind was hanging about in the tree in their yard when they got there. Snuff rushed in, sniffing and looking but there had been no home intrusion. Just spying.
