-| ::: | American Christmas is here, so I went and bought some items and supplies, and I made some gifts. I gave the Prince a plush bunny to cuddle with. The prince gave me some new furs, and Carol got me a Snowglobe of Rockerfeller Square - she's so considerate //(Session 91)//! I bought a new dress for the American Christmas Elysium but I think I got the wrong colour - nobody said anything though. At the Elysium, I found out about Santa, I'm not entirely sure how it works yet though and I gave gifts to people, which was wonderful. And when I got Gabriella her gift, she shared her own private ballet room with me //(Session 92)//​. ​ Isaac and Lindsey both got me a lovely gift as well //(Session 93)//. A bit later, I visited the Church to celebrate Orthodox Christmas as well, completing the Christmas celebrations //(Session 96)//. |

I found Penny Garfield might be able to help, but she wants a favour with Cierra in return, or possibly for burning an archive of some kind. I may need to be careful with her and the Palimpsest //(Session 87)//. Cierra has agreed to meet with Penny //(Session 89)// and I got Penny'​s contact information from Ravena to Emily to make an appointment by the end of the year //(Session 90)//. Isaac returned to New York, which means he might be able to help out as well //(Session 92)//! Isaac inspected the palimpsest, and Penny managed to extract the text Cierra needed, saving the relic. Cierra was happy and she promised she'd send the palimpsest to the Empire State Building for me to tend to //(Session 94)//. The relic was indeed delivered to me at the Empire State Building, where Mr. Worthington took care of its protection. I talked to Reverend Jonah about how to get it where it needs to go - the Church. But I've not found a way to handle that yet //(Session 96)//. I arranged a writ confirming the age and nature of the Palimpsest from the scribe who researched it //(Session 98)//. I tried sneaking the Palimpsest into the ROCOR building, but that really isn't my skillset. Luckily Dwayne was able to deliver it and make sure it arrived safely. Now all I can do is pray //(Session 100)//. My faith was proven true when the church accepted the relic //(Session 104)//! | | ::: | I spoke with Cierra about what to do with the Relic and she did insist on needing the information on the scroll.

 | ::: | Elysium took place in a rather seedy dancing, but as predicted by Chocolat, the dancer named Jaqueline Eslinger was really, really skilled. The Prince will want to see her, and if she performs well, maybe we'll be able to help her find a better place in life //(Session 87)//! To get her to perform though, I'll need '​references',​ and Emily suggested I should go visit her with someone to ask about what she needs //(Session 90)//.

The Prince said no to the pole, and suggested I ask Miss Eslinger what she needs //(Session 98)//. I arranged for Jacqueline to perform for the Prince next Thursday, and I spoke about her future at Elysium. Nicolas may offer her a chance to dance at his clubs and Christine said she'd try to arrange something for her in Paris. I hope she can manage before Thursday... //(Session 99)//. The dancer made it here, but her performance was -not- to the Prince'​s liking and I may have angered her. At least Christine managed to come through and we're arranging for some extra training and a trip to France for her //(Session 100)//. I asked Emily to arrange the trip for Jaqueline, so it should soon be sorted //(Session 101)//. Nicolas and Christine both want another demonstration of the dancer //(Session 102)//.

Upon arrival, we realised we didn't know where the Prince Francesko of Rome was staying, but fortunately,​ Carol helped out. We were allowed to stay for a few nights and we looked at some tourist attractions in the inner city. It was very beautiful! //(Session 47)// We planned a date to see the Pyramids at Giza //(Session 50)//. We visited the Pyramids and the Sphinx - they are HUGE, and we saw a shade of some sort //(Session 51)//.

We next flew to Abu Simbel and visited the impressive temples there //(Session 59)//. In Alexandra we visited where the Great Lighthouse once stood, the Necropolis of Kom El Shoqafa (though I did not go inside), Pompey'​s Pillar, the Temple of Taposiris Magna, and various minor locations and I purchased some gifts for my friends back home (including Cierra) //(Session 60)//. Upon returning to New York, I gave gifts to all the friends I left behind, including Egyptian silk scarves for Tamara and Carol, a necklace for Gabriella, alabaster carvings for Cierra, a bust of Nefertiti for Imogen and a plushie camel for Prince Michaella.
