 ==== The Family Curse ====
-Ray demands, "How are you a marshmallow and the most metal guy ever at the same time?" Josh admits, "I don't think I'm metal." Leta interjects, "It's resilience. It's the Troy family resilience. It's gotta be in the blood." Ray freezes at that comment, and then asks slowly, "Wait, is this a familial thing? Do you have a heritage of hunters in the family?" Josh hedges a bit and then asks, "Why do you ask?" Ray demands, "Are you descended from [[wod:characters:sally|Sally Troy]]?" Josh doesn't answer, but Abby says flatly, "Yup." Josh admits, "As far as I know there hasn't been anyone carrying a candle in recent generations. My grandfather and I kind of got into it accidentally. How did you know about Sally?"

My grandfather and I kind of got into it accidentally. How did you know about Sally?"
-Ray counters incredulously, "Her book? We actually read it.([[wod:characters:groups:network0|Network 0]] did as much research they could for any context to some of the things they've caught on film. [[wod:characters:ray|Ray]] read [[wod:characters:sally|Sally]]'s journal months ago but wasn't sure if [[wod:hunter:pcs:william|William]] and [[wod:hunter:pcs:josh|Josh]] were Sally's descendants. By this point, Network 0 was well aware of how the [[wod:characters:groups:troycell|Troy cell]] had become the regional power bloc.)) Didn't you?" Leta says glibly, "We have Abby for that. She gets bitey if you steal her books." Veltis grumbles, "You're a terrible roommate." Leta and Abby both agree but neither clarifies which one they're referring to. There's some joking about watching them as they sleep, and Leta says flatly, "I don't know if you mean you, Abby, or our latest ghostly guests." The temperature around Leta suddenly drops radically, and she grumbles, "Yes, I know it's you. It's not fair that I can't see you though, [[wod:characters:petite|Petite]]." Ray eyes her and asks carefully, "Petite? Is she also involved in your family curse?" Josh looks confused, and Ray groans and says, "Read Sally's book! She talks about the familial Troy curse throughout most of it. It was kind of her obsession." Josh's eyes narrow, but Leta demands, "Wait, there's actually a family curse on the Troys?"

-Ray nods and replies, "Apparently. Sally thought so anyway. According to her, one of your ancestors in the Troyes region of France made a bargain with something supernatural and sold the lives of his or her descendants to pay for it." Leta turns to Abby and demands, "You need to finish reading that book! Where is it?" Abby replies, "At the Forbes Library." Leta rocks back in shock but Abby insists, "I don't steal books from the Forbes Library. The Smith libraries are a different story, but not the Forbes Library. Besides, it's part of their protected collection."

Leta turns to Abby and demands, "You need to finish reading that book! Where is it?" Abby replies, "Anita’s basement? But I didn’t find anything in it about a family curse.” Ray’s eyes widen and he gasps, “You found the original almanac? Wow!” Abby eyes him and Ray quickly explains, “We found Sally’s journal by accident at the Forbes Library. It referenced some previous version of the almanac. We found something about how this original was sold after World War I, but we couldn’t find it. What we found was essentially a second volume of her almanac combined with her journal. It’s still at Forbes, in their protected collection.
-Ray admits, "Yeah, Network 0 kind of took it illegally. We made some photocopies before returning it surreptitiously." Leta muses, "This French ancestor, could they have made a deal with a demon?" Ray admits, "We don't know. Sally's book is a little vague and she starts going insane while she's writing it, and the handwriting just gets terrible. We pored over the photocopies we made and still can't quite figure much of it out. We know this ancestor's from somewhere in the 1500s or 1600s, but that's about it."

 As the boys talk, Leta steps back and asks Abby, "Did anyone ask the [[wod:characters:totem|Academitrix]] about vampires?" Abby shrugs and replies, "I sort of assumed [[wod:characters:polly|Polly]] would." Leta murmurs, "We might want to ask quickly. I imagine Polly is up to her eyeballs in work." Josh overhears and asks Ray, "Have you heard of the Academitrix?" Ray frowns as he thinks back, and then he says, "I think so? Sally mentioned her in her book. Some sort of guardian-entity at Smith?" Josh nods and muses about falling down the rabbit hole that is the Vigil. He jokes, "You fit in." Leta says seriously, "You like learning." Ray says incredulously, "How else do you defend yourself?" Leta replies, "Fire and sharp things?" Ray insists, "Yeah, but knowledge and words help you point the sharp things in the right direction." Josh agrees, and Leta laughs and tells Ray, "You got Joshed."
