What is going on in your changeling the lost game?

!!!!!!!!!!! You have opened the floodgates but also I only just woke up sO less floodgates than they could be bc I am tired and have some places to be

The Changeling the Lost game I play with my friends has all of us as recently escaped Changelings in a freehold in Buffalo NY (like we’ve all escaped within the past 6ish months?). I play the wonderful enby that is my pfp actually; their name is Oleander, Ander for short, they’re a wreck. It’s the main freehold in New York because the New York City freehold fell a few years back, it was a disaster and a lot of changelings were taken or killed. A Mirrorskin was involved, she made a deal with the fae to save her sister and it backfired HARD. One of our PCs got taken because of it and the repercussions are felt heavily. All that to say that the Buffalo freehold is a season-based freehold, but we have vestigial Dawn and Dusk courts leftover from the NYC freehold when what was left came to Buffalo for protection. Game started in Winter, we’re switching to Spring rn in game.

We just wrapped up a plotline where one of our PC’s sisters became the Goblin Queen while he was gone so we went to rescue her and a bunch of other people from the magic garden she was in/ran, it was. A very interesting time and our characters are all recovering from that mentally (especially since two of us has forest and plant-centered durances and Leon, said pc who’s sister was the goblin queen, has some time loop and magic induced amnesia so he didn’t even really remember her but felt obligated to save her anyway, he’s somewhere between 15 and 1000 years old because well time loops, he’s a wreck)

Anyway! As we’re all recovering from THAT traumatizing ordeal (there were a lot of dead bodies), the second in command of the autumn court approaches one of the other PCs (her name is Noir, she is a bundle of issues, grey morality and knives). Turns out! That the autumn monarch, for who knows how long, has been someone’s PUPPET at least for some of the time, and their second is trying to figure out who or what’s controlling them. The main suspect is the Autumn Spymaster, but, y’know, by the nature of that position, the only one who knows who the Autumn Spymaster issssss drumroll please YEP the mind controlled monarch. Autumn’s second isn’t a spy but knows Noir is good at that kind of thing so is asking her for help, also since she’s too new to the freehold to be the one behind it all, and Noir both wants the Spymaster position and doesn’t want the very few people she cares about hurt.

So what started out as a chill found family Changeling game took a turn from rescue missions 1, 2, and 3 into Political Intrigue James Bond Time, Noir hasn’t slept in three days, Leon’s been dragged into this mess because he doesn’t know how to cope when there’s not a crisis, our Darkling chimera is getting to know her twin brother she was separated from at birth, wizened Coyote is MIA, ogre soldier went on a two day bender trying not to get arrested for punching people aaaaaand no one’s told Ander about the main plot because Noir wants to protect them EVEN THOUGH THEYRE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO JOIN THE AUTUMB COURT.

We’re Disasters

Also if you want clarification on anything please feel free to send more asks I fuckin love this group we’re a Mess
