Act II Summary

= = = Storyteller perspective, despite Wonk's broken heart over Gloria in Act I, it was mostly about introducing characters and plot themes. Act II has more action and more emphasis on how the characters feel.
= = =

Love interests in Act II
Traveler falls in love with Leilani
Wonk falls for Fortia which is complicated because of Gloria, (Fortia and Gloria become friends)
Clara Bow and Yolanda become very close in another complicated relationship
Guy and the Net Girls keep doing their thing
Pedro and Yolanda have something more than just a 3 session relationship


Act II in one word: polarization.
The original Krewe that came together in Act I is begin to divide, mostly over Yolanda. She is getting ever more radical, extreme, moving towards what she calls the spiritual, but everyone else would call the occult.

The rats in Madagascar have splintered, in fact become biologically separate. The Lemrats, reach sexual maturity in 1.5 years, 120 day gestation, find themselves allied with Circle and Depository II, but it is not an entirely comfortable relationship. Neaderats, 3 weeks to sexual maturity, 21 day gestation, are also afoot, especially to the South.

On the political scene the HNMNBies and their more extreme allies The Social Justarians find themselves at increasing odds with  The Flat Earth party and their more extreme allies, the Robusts.

Deep State which tries to remain nominally neutral is more comfortable with Flat Earth. Picking up more and more information, they are beginning to map HNMNBie news network and tangible blockchain sneakernet. They are also starting to zero in on Angelica who is still trying to shepherd the HNMNBie  movement underground.

Yolanda branches H Coin to begin Principus. Traveler and Gizmo begin to divest themselves from H Coin second level and wonder about their options for the level I gold deposits.

We have a meeting in the Tea House in Portland Oregon, you can see there are stresses and strains all ready, even as they are trying to agree on a unified IT architecture.

Traveler is enjoying his time in Hawaii. He has met a girl, Leilani. Guy gets his house, has a great party and comes to visit Traveler. Josh from the Blue Circle High Table pays a visit to say that the high table is probably going to withdraw fellowship from Yolanda.
Wonk and Fortia develop a relationship and become engaged.
Traveler is invited to High Table and accepts
Wonk is invited to Blue Circle and accepts
Guy's company and Net Girls formally become Circle
Angelica remains Blue Circle, declines High Table to remain the leader of the HNMNBie movement
Pedro and Controller side with Yolanda


At the end of Act II
Traveler is returning to Hawaii during the hurricane
Chase Slocom has assumed more of a final judges or possibly priest role
Yolanda and Clara Bow move to Madagascar, Pedro and Controller will be along in Act III.
Wonk and Angelica are focused on their businesses.
Gizmo is in poor health

Looking forward to Act III
