Relic

I spoke with Cierra about what to do with the Relic and she did insist on needing the information on the scroll. I'm not sure, but I may have a way to sort everything out (Session 86). I found Penny Garfield might be able to help, but she wants a favour with Cierra in return, or possibly for burning an archive of some kind. I may need to be careful with her and the Palimpsest (Session 87). Cierra has agreed to meet with Penny (Session 89) and I got Penny's contact information from Ravena to Emily to make an appointment by the end of the year (Session 90). Isaac returned to New York, which means he might be able to help out as well (Session 92)! Isaac inspected the palimpsest, and Penny managed to extract the text Cierra needed, saving the relic. Cierra was happy and she promised she'd send the palimpsest to the Empire State Building for me to tend to (Session 94). The relic was indeed delivered to me at the Empire State Building, where Mr. Worthington took care of its protection. I talked to Reverend Jonah about how to get it where it needs to go - the Church. But I've not found a way to handle that yet (Session 96). I arranged a writ confirming the age and nature of the Palimpsest from the scribe who researched it (Session 98). I tried sneaking the Palimpsest into the ROCOR building, but that really isn't my skillset. Luckily Dwayne was able to deliver it and make sure it arrived safely. Now all I can do is pray (Session 100). My faith was proven true when the church accepted the relic (Session 104)!

Blood of the Aftermath

I got seriously hurt while protecting Marcus after the demon was exorcised (Session 84), and I have had to take a lot of rest, first remaining in bed, then doing only very light observation activities and nothing too serious (Session 85). I seem to be doing a lot better now though I still have hidden bruises. I suppose it will have to do for now, I have obligations and I cannot stay in bed any longer (Session 86).

With so much blood spent on healing, I got really famished after my performance, but I've already fed too much on my herd. I looked around the Empire State Building but they couldn't really help me. The prince did suggest I ask Lindsey for help (Session 93), which she did, guiding me through finding some extra food at the Rotary (Session 94). I had to ask Lindseys help again, but I think I finally managed to find the blood I needed despite the nativity fast (Session 95).

Reestablished Harmony

Tamara came by to ask my help due to issues with her 'credit card' after the Demon Incident. (Session 89). I spoke with Mr. Worthington about it, though I was too afraid to admit I ordered the skunk - under possession of the demon, but still (Session 90). I finally admitted my guilt to Mr. Worthington (Session 91) and I managed to get Tamara back into the Empire State Building: the Prince said she could stay! Christmas cheer for everyone (Session 92)!

I asked a priest to bless the rooms in the Empire State Building but when I checked with the prince, she was rather miffed about the whole thing. I managed to reduce it to just my room, but it was not my intent to upset her (Session 99). I messed up again shortly after when I invited Miss Eslinger to perform for the Prince - it wasn't what she had hoped for and expected, and frankly it wasn't quite what I had hoped either (Session 100). The priest didn't cause any hassle when he blessed my rooms, but Tamara wasn't very pleased the prince had allowed it, so this whole thing has been such a mess... I need to do something to make up for all of this (Session 101). Tamara also seems worried about the Prince's mood, so more may be going on (Session 105). After working some negotiations for the Prince (and almost dying), the Prince spent time with me and she no longer seems to be angry (Session 109) - that was finally confirmed when she took me on a date and kissed me (Session 112).

Theophany

Svyatki will end soon with the feast of Theophany. I asked to participate in the ceremony at Church and to have the house blessed. The Prince wasn't as pleased as I had hoped, but agreed I could have my room blessed (Session 99). I bought a gown for the Theophany ceremony (Session 100), which was held by going all under in the icy Hudson river three times. It was quite something, and I felt reborn afterwards (Session 101)!
