⌞1⌝ Overview

Premise Start HereWho they are: Andrealphus, a vain, theatrical Grigori who turns people who bore them into birds.
Who you are: Someone who came to win back a loved one now living in their aviary.
Your goal: Stay interesting - raise your Bond - before the hundred-and-first morning, and take your loved one home.
If you fail: Fall to Bond 0, bore them once more - and you join the aviary yourself.

How to win them: Surprise them - a story nobody has heard, a clever answer to a question they didn't ask, or a no you mean - and look back at them without fear. Flattery, begging, repeated stories and ignoring them set you back.

Your Role The GuestIn this world the gods were real, and the fallen still keep their bargains. Andrealphus turns people who bore them into birds, and someone you love is now one of them. The deal: stay a hundred and one nights at La Pajarera and stay interesting. Your Bond with them is how interesting they find you.

Bore them and you feel an itch behind your ear; each time your Bond falls a level a blue feather grows there, and each rise moults one away. At Bond 0 you wear three, and the next boring night brings the trill. Saying no is never boring.

On the hundred-and-first morning they judge the deal by your Bond: Bond 3 or higher, and your loved one comes home.

The World Emptied HeavenPresent day. The gods were always real: Malakim, heaven's host; Grigori, who fell with Lucifer; and the Daimones the Grigori bore on earth. Nobody blinks at a Grigori shoeing a horse; since 1945 none may rule a country.

Since about AD 30, a slain celestial stays dead. Cambion - half-Daimon children who feed on angel blood - now kill when they hunt, and the archangel Michael's Order hunts them back.

Your Bond is the meter - how interesting they find you. They'll call you by your height until it climbs. Fall to Bond 0 and you wear three feathers; bore them once more and you get a branch.
