== Chapter 1: The Oathkeeper Problem ==
''Doorbell rings. Dr. Johann Jr. enters Lady Geist's apartment.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Apologies for the mess, I had company over last night.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I can see that...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' If it makes you uncomfortable you can wait outside while I...

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' No, no, i-it's fine...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You're very convincing, doctor...

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I'm sorry, it's just that seeing it is different than...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Of course, of course... Let me, ah, move the rug.

''Lady Geist covers a blood stain on the floor with a rug.''

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Thank you. So!.. What's going on?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' It's Oathkeeper. He's... Stronger? Angrier? Hungrier? I don't know. Life doesn't sustain me the way that it used to. Oh, don't look at me like that! You're safe here.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Tell that to the last guy...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' If I wanted to talk to the last guy I probably wouldn't have killed him.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' You're hilarious. Let me see you arm.

''Johann Jr. inspects Oathkeeper's lock.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Your dad would have laughed at my jokes.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' My dad had a horrible sense of humor.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' He was a good man.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' He did his best.

''Johann Jr. finishes his inspection.''

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' The lock is still intact, but... the ward is getting weaker.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You reapplied the ward 5 years ago!

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I know. It's concerning.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' How concerning?..

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' How long have you had Oathkeeper trapped in your arm? Thirty years?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Closer to f... 50.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Very concerning! Do you know how the warding actually works?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Just the basics. Your father described it as a puzzle box that Oathkeeper would be compelled to open... and that the more focus and energy he exerts unraveling the ward the less he has to make demands of me.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Well, after 50 years, it looks like Oathkeeper got better at multitasking.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' So build a better ward!

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I can't.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' A pity. I don't mantain relationships with... useless people.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I thought I was safe here!

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And I thought you were good at your job! We both made mistakes.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I can't tell if you're joking.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Do you want to find out? Or would you rather just propose a solution?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' There might be some... alternatives.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And I can't ''wait'' to hear them.

''Lady Geist visits Dynamo during one of his lectures at Columbus University.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' ... And that concludes today's lecture on ley lines... Don't forget to review your notes on Astral Gates tonight, there will be a pop quiz tomorrow. Please act surprised.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Hello, professor. I believe Johann told you to expect me.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' Uh, he said his grandmother would like to have a chat, but you don't...

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I moisturize.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' Ah, yes... You're the one with the, uh... "Condition".

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Indeed.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' The intersection between magic, medicine and science is a fascinating one, isn't it?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Riveting.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' It's so exciting to find a kindred spirit! Have you been going to Brown's recent lecture series? If not, you absolutely must-

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' My time is at a premium, professor. The longer we chit-chat, the more likely your course is the only one at Columbia with a body count.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' How can I help?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' My ward is failing.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' A dire situation, to be sure... but I'm afraid my knowledge of binding wards is journeyman at best.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Yes, but your connections with science and academia are vast.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' "Vast", that's, uh... That's very generous of you.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I want to host a bit of a... symposium on my... condition, as you called it. More of a gala, really. It's pivotal that the right people are in attendance. The brightest minds.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' Oh, I imagine I can drum up some interest. Uh, when next year are you thinking?

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Oh, it's in two weeks.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' Ah-uh-that's simply impossible. The sort of folks you want to speak with are taking sabbaticals, or doing field research... And as we both know, no one's leaving the [[Black Château|Black Chateau]] to come to your event.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' For every expert you bring, I will donate a quarter-million dollars to your department.

'''{{PageRef|name=Dynamo}}:''' Annnd what a gala it will be! I'll get you a list of names soon.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Thank you, professor.

== 2b - Understanding Oathkeeper ==
''Lady Geist and Johann Jr. meet up in a café.''

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Tell me you have good news.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I have news. How ''good'' is relative.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' You're very glib today.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Well, we're in a public place, so I figured I'd live on the edge.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' What did you learn about Oathkeeper?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' The notes dad kept on him were meticulous... I still haven't fully digested everything, but there's a promising option emerging.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Go on.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Oathkeeper wasn't named ironically: that thing is like the Patron Saint of Faustian bargains. So, while I'm sure he's pissed that you trapped him for 50 years, there's probably a part of him that's impressed.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' So what's the promising option?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I just told you.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' ... I want to make sure I understand: the ward is failing?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Yes.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' And there is nothing that you, me, or a minor act of god can do to change that?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Correct.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' But I should be encouraged by the fact that I tricked Oathkeeper into bondage?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Exactly!

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Out of respect for your father, I'll let you finish that horrid cup of coffee before I kill you.

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I don't think you're seeing the big picture.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' As soon as the ward fails, I'm as good as dead!

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' Possibly.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' "Possibly"?! For 5 decades, Oathkeeper's had nothing to do but stew on what it can do to me when he's free. Do you ''know'' what 50 years of revenge looks like?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I don't, and that's why you have a chance... Oma, you are a uniquely cruel woman, and Oathkeeper has to respect that on some level. That thing ''lives'' to make deals, so make it another one.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' I have no leverage, why would he... oh my god. Of course... he doesn't know how close he is to breaking free, does he?

'''[[Johann Geist (Jr.)|Johann Jr.]]:''' I don't think so.

'''{{PageRef|name=Lady Geist}}:''' Well then... that ''changes'' things, doesn't it?
