Mari Gwynn attempts to explain the meaning of life, the multiverse, and everything to Aloise Hartley, but it goes poorly.
This would be a cute little meeting.

The Grimoire of the Dead has resurfaced from the depths of history, and now Denner Fabellian planeswalks to Siraus in search of it.
I mean, I'm sure you'll find it, but why do you want it?

The multiverse has it out for Raef, as Aloise Hartley curses him with exposure to mycosynth spores. Poor Raef now has to get Beryl, the Heart-Scarred's help.
I think this is a sneaky attempt to hook up two of her friends. It won't go well, Aloise...

Zhiran throws a party on Zhiran's Academy. He invites The Shifter, Gale, Sava Pith and Aamir, but nobody shows up!
Maybe you shouldn't have invited The Shifter. Also, I love that it ended up with Zhiran on Zhiran's Academy.

Vasilias, Lord of Ariva finds himself in command of a very strange army comprised of Goblins, Skeleton Dauthi Assassins, Spawn Orcs, and even Unicorn Samurais.
Hey, an army's an army, even if you do need to rely on Unicorn Samurai.

Ygraine of Segovia throws a party on one of the thousand refractions of Rabiah. She invites Chardis of the Dual-Walkers, A Timmerian fiend, Aamir and Raiker Venn, but Ygraine never throws good parties! Will this one be any different?

In the Black Kithkin tavern on Ravnica, in the center of the main room, Nasperge gives an Aubedore reading to Mari Gwynn in the "Crossroads pattern."
For the corners, he draws the Manacles, the Tempest (inverted), the Knight, and the Pond (inverted).
For the spokes, he draws the Statue, the Huntress (inverted), the Horse, and the Smith (inverted).
At the Crossroads, he lays the Shapeshifter (inverted) vertically as the destination, under the fate card of the Field (inverted), which is horizontal.
Mari Gwynn tells Nasperge to stop drinking.
You see, Mari feels trapped in her false form (The Manacles), which is causing her to bottle up her emotions (the inverted Tempest). The Knight, in this case, likely represents her external emotional "armor," and her unwillingness to open up to others. The Pond usually represents a calm, pastoral scene, but inverted like this, it likely represents Mari being throw out or expelled from such a place.
The Statue leads from the Manacles, showing a lack of action to free herself, probably out of fear of the risks involved. The inverted Huntress leading from the inverted Tempest indicates that her bottled up emotions are started to prey on her, and the Horse from the knight is clearly a representation of her true form. The inverted Smith from the inverted Pond shows that Mari must forge her own path back there (had the Smith not been inverted, she would have to move on, but in its inverted state on the spoke, it shows that the backwards path is both possible and preferable.
The inverted Shapeshifter as the destination shows that Mari wants to find a single form, rather than being forced to alter hers. The Field card, especially in the Fate Card position, usually represents a wide variety of opportunity and many possible paths to take, but inverted, it likely means that while there seem to be many options, only one is really true. This likely reference's Mari's desire to go home.

Raiker Venn has decided to write a new poem about Kahr-ret-Taris. Poor Kahr.
Raiker Venn wrote:
There once was a pharaoh named Kahr,
Who loved to ignite and to char,
But through fiery flashes,
He must scoop up the ashes,
Of Skavlakur into a jar.
