This session was played on 02/08/2025. Kort has paused the Hunt, and in the resulting mess, Maelle requests Iorena's help to retrieve the frozen body of Zach before it's handed to the Paranormal Foundation, and gets Clark and Gaia mixed up in the mess.

• Clark Dubois
• Gaia Dynko
• Maelle Kurimoto
• Iorena Sevel
• Agent Kort
• Ferret
• Ossip Halkin
• Boisterous Hunter

• Iorena: Please tell me you haven't been in the deep zone.
• Gaia: What's considered deep zone? Like, how deep is actually deep?

• Gaia: There was that unga-bunga person, she went there.
• Iorena: Unga… bunga… person? please tell me this was not a black person, Gaia.

• Gaia keeps going around the events on the zone, and as the night goes on iorena slowly keeps getting the rest of the story out of her. First she learns of the rigasian patrol there, and how Gaia had no idea where they came from because she had been tied; and then she was free but under attack, and she is trying to be brave and a little boasty about how she managed to put a couple soldiers down.
• And then she notices she's crying.
• And she has no idea why.
• And then Iorena is hugging her very hard.

• Kort: Since I came here and my helicopter crashed right after a very suspicious explosion we've had people deploying illegal pesticides that are killing your families downstream, some terrorist has been walking inside the zone as if there was not a guard, and we've had aberrant events that we have no idea where came from, just to list some
• Kort: If you keep doing things like this your families are not going to need any money, because they will be poisoned and dead, or all the money will be gone on hospital bills, is that what you want?
• Kort: We're not stopping the hunt, we're making a pause while we sort all the bullshit that's been happening, and ensure it doesn't happen again. most of you already got enough money to last until we resume so just let me do my job so you can have a family to give that money to.

• Iorena: Okay, that makes a lot more sense, but look down here
• Maelle looks down, and sees that Iorena is pointing a gun at her.
• Iorena: Now, don't make any sudden movements.
• Maelle: Okay
• Iorena: I have no idea who told you what about me, but I have not survived this long by allowing random accusations to go unanswered. So please, start againt from the beginning and make it convincing.

• Clark in is the forest area when he does hear the “Orange, Banana, Pineapple” call; and it's at that point that he knows that peace is merely an illusion, there's only Gaia.
• Less then ten minutes after that gaia pops her head on his hiding place; there are squirrels on her hair.

• Gaia: Iorena wants you… to come.
• Clark: What? Look, I'm charmed she think of me like that, but I'm not interested.
• Clark, you have no idea how, but you have the impression that the squirrels are judging you.

• Clark: Gaia, do you still have that glove? That's the thing that froze her, so we might need it.
• Iorena: Allow me to invite you to pass the night; we have a couple free rooms… what glove?
• Clark: Oh, sorry, I assumed Gaia told you everything.
• Iorena: She apparently skipped everything about some glove.

• Clark: So, I'm gonna sleep in an actual bedroom… Is that what being rich feels like?

• Iorena: Are you telling me that Victor Vituska almost got his hands on a glove that allows you to freeze things?
• Iorena walks up to an old grandfather clock, opens it, rummages inside, and gets a bottle and glasses out.

• Iorena: Little known tidbit about our mutual aquaintance vituska. The thing he does where he shreds stuff with wind? It was not originally his gift. It was someone else's. I don't know what happened, but that person is now dead, and the gift is in Vituska's hands.

• AMANDA: TELL THE ICE CHILD THAT THE TEMPLE IS NOT A PLACE.
• Gaia: Tell the Ice Child that the Temple is not a place.
• Clark proceeds to have a panic attack.

• Iorena: Okay, Gaia, so you clearly saw something there. You did not become an ant though; I think it's all in your… head… like the squirrels… oh fuck.

• Iorena: Clark? Can you hear me? There's one thing that you need to understand, okay? I don't know how many people have told you otherwise, but you. are. not. a. freak.

• Gaia: Amanda, how old are you?
• Amanda tries to raise her paws to show but results are inconclusive. You don't think squirrels can count that well.

• Iorena: There's a young woman that is going to be taken to Rigasia against her wishes, so I propose that we steal a body.

• Iorena: We can create a security hole to get a chance at taking the body by using one of the most dangerous skills in our arsenal: paperwork.
• Gaia: Nooo!

• Halkin: Initial analysis is that this was a human body brought in from the zone, affected with an aberrant effect of some kind. Then we started measuring and noticed that there doesn't seem any reality variance on the body itself, which makes this something else, that instead might be under the purview of the Paranormal Foundation. And then I have here some utter bullshit that says that this could be considered an aberrant human, but I have no patience for that one.
• Maelle: What if it is an aberrant human?
• Halkin proceeds to lose his cool in almost every conceivable way.

The first man Iorena had to kill was a blackcap officer who was getting very pushy with her fourteen-year-old sister; she bashed his head in with a shovel, then she used it to bury him, and finally proceeded to vomit everything she had eaten that week.
