Erin's voice mail message is in a weary voice: "Erin Peters. If you called in the middle of the night and I didn't answer, I'm dying. If I pick up and someone on your end isn't dying, they will be shortly. Text otherwise."

Erin hrmms. "I can get something done there, yeah. I can't make you know dancing like you've learned it, but the pact can make you better at it, among other things. It might hit your writing too though - you down for that? To be clear, I'm not talking like an asshole wish-granting trade, I'm talking that fate is an idiot and thinks all art is fundamentally the same."

So fun thing about Changeling: the Lost's mechanics and the Expression skill: fucking everything is Expression.

"I might not be happy with the writing aspect, I'd prefer it to all be my own, but if I keep it in mind and pay attention to my own thoughts, I should be good."

There should be an easy way to distinguish the hard won thoughts of her own blood versus a contract's influence. Right?

It will not be, but that's also not how it will work. Fate nudges events to be...convenient. A source of writer's block doesn't happen, a brief perception of something that sparks a thought...

"Alright. Then I can either work this out now, or when you're ready for the first session."

"I don't have a preference, but you're the one it'll take the most toll on to setup, so I can adjust either way."

Unhelpful, but true.
