We'll find our path here together.
Nikolai Lantsov, King of Ravka has opened his house and yard for a get together! It's Saturday, and he and Sabrina are playing hosts to anyone and everyone who wishes to come for some food or lawn games- mostly as a chance for Nikolai to get to know some more people, but partially a chance to thank everyone who helped with the Sea God shenanigans. Clio, Nikolai's Golden Eagle familiar and Chaos, Sabrina's Hellhound can both be found running around- they're generally friendly, but both are still young and may not quite know what is too much for some guests.
There's grilling, yard games, and paper crowns for everyone to wear. Bring food if you'd like, drinks of all kinds are available, and Nikolai starts a bonfire late afternoon for s'mores and general cozy vibes.
OOC: This is forward dated for Saturday, April 6th. Everybody's welcome- Nikolai and Sabrina would have spread it by word of mouth around Pickman and with their friends.

I'm interested in extending my contract if that is agreeable with you.
It's been just over a week. No fever, no tentacles yet. I'm not ready to say that I'm in the clear, but I'm relieved all the same. I'd still like to look into getting this thing removed if it's all the same to you.
Don't think this let's you off the hook. I could still turn. Even if I don't understand why I haven't yet, as long as I have this parasite it remains a threat.
Are you mad at me?
Are you okay?
I probably should have asked this earlier--thanks for the idea, Percy--but are any of you having any weird dreams about the ocean.
Or lighthouses?
Who's good with dream magic and making talismans to ward against creatures getting into your dreams?
Hello- I believe I've spoken with most of you before- Sabrina suggested you as a group who might be able to help me. I have this..dark magic inside of me that seems a bit unpredictable so far. Would you be willing to meet with me some time this week to see if we can determine any triggers and if there might be a way to control or contain the..creature that I become?
Hi, Percy- my name is Nikolai, and Julia pointed me your way. My girlfriend, Sabrina, and I were attacked down by the beach yesterday out near the boardwalk. The creature..looked like a child at first, crying for help, and then turned into some sort of half octopus, half human monster that seemed determined to drag Sabrina down into the ocean. She wasn't successful, but we were both pretty banged up after. We're pretty sure this is related to a local sea god.
All this to say- we understand that you have some..communication with the water and the creatures in it? Is there any way you might be able to help us figure out some sort of protection?
