xp_chambersJono and Mel have an awkward chat while he waits for Paige to finish getting ready.
( There had admittedly been two downsides to dating Paige. The first was that he wasn't allowed to set her mum on fire. )

xp_submarinerNamor, Meggan, and Paige work to find a mechanical repair to the Engine. While they learn more about its inner workings, Meggan’s affinity for the fae realm and Paige’s current form prove to offer certain advantages aiding in repair. However, they find they'll need something more than a wrench and elbow grease.
( Oh! That’s really, really new! I . . . I think I’m seeing where everything’s gone wrong. )

As the group searches for a solution, Jono, Jay and Pixie hit upon a potential answer.
( Though I am no engineer, with instruction, I might be able to repair your machine. )

( Were you not to provide Me with Entertainment? )
( Were you not to provide Me with Entertainment? )
xp_submarinerJay and Jono travel through the city of this Otherworld on their way to be presented to the Grand Dame, and the city is both stranger and more modern than expected.
( The rest of the city may be more Goblin Market, but this building was pure Cinderella. Maybe a bit of Narnia with those possibly living statues. It was the type of thing you could compose poetry about easily and songs not long after. )

xp_submarinerSettled into their lodgings on the Isle of Man, the members of eXcalibur are interrupted during breakfast by the arrival of subject matter expert Jono and special guest Paige.
( Fairy tales – hopefully ones that will lead us to a breach. Just a day of fieldwork in eXcalibur. )
***
The team spend the afternoon canvasing the town, but split up as the location of the dimensional tear is narrowed based on what stories they can gather. The group splits – Paige heading back by herself, then Jay and Jono, leaving only Namor, Meggan, and Pixie to investigate the tear.
( Since when did people ride horses through town? )
( Could it be a manifestation of the portal they sought? )
( And then the dust came in. )

Jono wanders into the chapel to find Namor reviewing his compilation of Atlantis research. The two chat about expertise, politics, past assistants, future assistance, and being an ass in this instance.
( Yes, well, even noble purposes often and most especially seem to require help if you want things done correctly. )

xp_chambersJono takes Paige sight seeing around his hometown, and they ring in the new year while watching his band perform at a pub.
