Archimedes tires of Laughter's herbs and goes to find a satisfying boom. Fortunately for Laughter, Cameron returns to the Castle and gives her an excuse to trash his sword. She is asked to use a practice sword from now on. The rest of the crew is fairly sedentary, being ready to throw up, sleeping through the feeling, being missing (presumed dead) or merely being reticent by nature. A page informs Jubal that the King has granted him a closed circuit audience, and Jubal shows his appreciation for this by making his mother's safety the responsibility of the Crown and, presumably, the fink that wears it. At this point, the log wishes to note that the Crown Prince stinks. Gerard and Ulysses are among the displeased, as the Royal Fink breaks wind through the third, excuse me, SECOND floor. Jubal convinces Sandr to assist in laying protective spells on his mother, and their efforts are later shown to be an utter misuse of time. Cameron shaves his head. Laughter spends her afternoon in Foil, planting the Pattern in her lawn, to the right of the gardenias, but before the aster. Before dinner, many people clean up, Ulysses goes for a walk, and Cameron gives Archimedes a ten in execution but only a 5.4 in attitude for his little stinky bomb. I suppose dinner happened, or something. Food was probably eaten, and several people were likely uncomfortable, but these should by no means be seen in correlation. Sandr, Ulysses, and Laughter troop to the infirmary on the theory that things happen around Jubal. It is a matter of discussion whether or not they know that he's in the library. They hear an explosion from Archimedes' room, and Laughter foolishly investigates. After a brief conversation, she realizes that he can be just as annoying as Jubal and returns to the infirmary. Cameron joins the fun, but apparantly it wasn't informed, since it left as he arrived. Sandr starts seeing things, and everyone wonders just how strong that peyote was. Before they can wonder where to score some for themselves, a voice announces that the Logrus is now in the Castle. A fight ensues, and in the aftermath several young Amberites bask in self congratulations, or just lots of pain. Ulysses has proven himself useful by assisting Jubal in his escape with his mother's corpus. Cameron has snatched a Trump of the ragged edge of disaster. Archimedes has perhaps dulled a Chaosite's claws. Yes, it was a good day. Rhiannon tells her son that she thinks that their opponents are Hendrake's, but of course she can't be sure, since her social life ended with Caine's first woody. Jubal goes looking for Corwin, taking short intermissions to answer several thousand Trump calls and to allow Fiona to tidy up after Sandr, who spends the rest of the session throwing Tarot for the same question until he gets a response that will allow him to get himself kilt. The others rehash what they've found out, share information in new and interesting ways, and act basically stymied. Laughter gives up and returns to Foil. Archimedes flees the infirmary with his father's aid. Sandr and Ulysses ask a much confused Gerard about the feasibility of Prozac in Amber, and when he responds with a resounding "Eh?" Sandr decides to have the Pattern take him to Brand. At the end of the session, Cameron is in a Trump contact with Rhiannon, Laughter is sitting by Jubal's mother, Archimedes is healing in his room, Jubal is riding for Chaos and plot, Ulysses is probably wherever Sandr was before leaving, and M is protesting vehemently against cliff hanger endings. So just what in hell was the Day of Broken Branches anyhow?
