Timewatch, Session Four.

So after a significant RL hiatus, we picked up at the dinner party, reconvening after tea and rest to embark on the dinner portion of the evening. Things that were learned:

1) Prince Edward is bored and has a roving eye for married women. His relationship with Freda Dudley Howe is waning, and he's getting interested in Lady Thelma Furness. This is as it should be in 1930.

2) Prince Edward thinks that war is awful and should be avoided at any cost. He also thinks he has something to offer England and that the king should be thoroughly in charge, with a lot more power than his father chooses to wield. Also, he really likes Germany.

3) No one has heard of Wallis Simpson. She should be living in London about now with her husband Ernest. and they should meet Prince Edward in a few months at a party in town.

4) None of the women except Lady Anastasia, Lord Mountbatten's wife, seem to have any real affection for their husbands, and Anastasia is much more focused on her life as a mum. Thelma Furness encouraged Caroline to come stay in Freda's house, and they'd get her a rich husband so she could join their clique.

5) Edward adores America and took great pleasure in making Jason die repeatedly by pretending to shoot him. He even tried to get Freda in on shooting Jason so he has to fall down, but Freda politely refuses.

6) Kurosawa was ill (his player was too) so he didn't make it down to dinner, meaning that his attache (Solomon, played by Toasty) was pressed into service to round out the table.

7) Lord Mountbatten only wanted to talk politics, which Edward didn't want to talk about at all.

8) The food was extravagant and heavy on the meat side of things, including aspic salads.

9) Edward "Fruity" Metcalfe is an enthusiastic member of the British Society of Fascists, aka blackshirts, and encourages Edward's thoughts of taking power. He made sure to chat up Solomon.

10) People were polite to Micah but didn't reach out to include him. Prince Edward scarcely spoke to him at all, leaving it to Freda and Thelma.

Following dinner, the agents all discussed things via their tethers and decided to jump forward to the party in London and make sure Edward and Wallis meet on schedule. This should be interesting. :)
