#anywhere

THe private tower they've been given is well stocked with ice cream and more. And Ramona the boggan says "Obviously gossip can do some damage..."

"Yes, but the gossip alone isn't enough. We can't have him just be baffled about why his fortunes went south."

"He needs to be confronted by the women he's wronged." She looks around the gathered group.

Valerie stands tall, easy to do, she's a troll.

Dagmar hangs back, listening and watching.

"But it can't be a ranting, raving bitch-fest. You have to be the ones in control, not him."

"I can't believe He would betray us" Francies says "Maybe we misunderstood?"

Gerd sighs "We DID misunderstand, we thought he was cool."

Jennifer says "it hurts, a lot, but Sylvi is right. Siv took me to a Fiona hold to think it over..and .. this is important, we can't let him get away with it"

"He's very good at the game he plays, Frances."

Dag grunts, scowls.

"Look..." she gestures at the room they're meeting in. "We don't want him in here. This is a safe space for us. Plus, y'know, ice cream. But we need a place where we can get him to meet all of you at once. Or...." a thought "...each of you in rapid succession...."

Luci says "Uhm.. does he know everyone's hand writing?"

Sylvi looks around the group for their response.

"In this age of smart phones, I use scrolls all the time" The pooka, Tieran or something like that, says.

"She's right, who uses written notes? Valerie says

"Gerd?"

"I LOVE notes, but no.. I never sent him one" she says "What's your point, Luci?"

" I was saying.. if he got a note... from 'his one true love' to meet at some place..." the winged boggan says "Who would he expect?"

Sylvi smiles. "I love it. It doesn't matter who he expects...you'll all be there when he arrives. Heck, I could write it. Anybody got parchment and pen?"

"Where do you think...in the courtyard?"

Gerd pulls out paper "I know he doesn't have willow whisper, or at least he never pretended to"

"It's best if we can get at least two other guys to see what happens, so they can spread the word of how you're not going to put up with games like this."

Sylvi accepts it from Gerd and gets ready to write.

"Mmph."

"Can we hit him AFTER?" Valerie says "A little?"

"You're a bad influence on Valerie there, Dagmar" Siv says but smiles gently

"No hitting. Hitting would be cheap and easy in this case. It'd weaken your rep."

"But it'd feel good."

"So...oooh...I bet if I write this just right, he'd invite some buddies to come watch the festivities."

Jennifer says "And hee's going to be more embarrassed than we are? " not sure

She thinks a moment, then recites, " Elegan, sweetheart...I can't stand it anymore. I know I've said we should wait, but thinking about you is driving me mad...." Then she pauses at Jennifer's comment. "Well, hm...okay, personally I think he should be called out where others can see the no-nookie consequences of his behavior, but then again, I'm not one of the wounded parties. What do you all think?" she asks the ladies.

Terriana steps up, the pooka girl says "I , as you notice, am a troll, like everyone else here. Unlike other trolls, I am blessed with the gift of fabriccation... Maybe I caan use that to tell him how funny hha ha he is but I am not ashamed at all? It.. it might work"

"Maybe you could get him to confess what he's been doing?"

Sylvi looks dubious. "I'm... not quite sure I follow."

"Folks talk to pooka."

"Oh! Maybe...and have everybody else step out of hiding after he confesses?"

Dag shrugs. "Just an idea."

The pooka says "How do you get good ideas with such little oxygen?" Gaping ujp at the girl and looks at the others "my back.... yours for 19.95!"

Valerie nods "I've got your back."

"The altitude clears the mind."

the other girls cheered by this combo of Luci/Sylvi/and Dagmar's plans seem reassured.

Siv grins "I'm going to steal that" Speaking of the clears the mind joke

"One last thing, though..." Sylvi looks around the group. "Those of you who've dated him have all been betrayed. If any of you decides to give him another chance, rather than turn your back on him, then you're betraying the other women in here. If that's what you're tempted to do, think really carefully about what that might mean for you in the future. Like Terriana says...you've gotta have each others' backs."

"We could take an Oath" Gerd says "All of those of us wronged. Not only would it keep one of us from backing out, itw ould aid our chances of pulling this off."

Varlerie nods "I could do that"

Sylvi nods. "I think that makes sense. The fact of being busted might hit him harder that way, too"

Terriana takes a breath "Right. Pooka re great at oaths"

Jennifer sticks her hand out "Let's do this...a nd later I have to go back to Earth Runes and return this tea cup or I'm in trouble."

Siv's eyes widen "Ah, I'll get that too her for you. Yeah." Taking that cup
