An evening in September at the mall, with shopping for lingerie, chance encounters, and a fight in the parking garage.
Background[]
Lorelei had managed to recover her car and most immediate economic assets, and she and Alex went to the Pacific Place mall for shopping.[1]
Events[]
Immediately upon entering the mall, Lorelei sensed the demon Robert Gorge, which caused her to change her plans. She took Alex to a lingerie store where she encouraged Audrey into a tryst with Alex. Lorelei went off to confront Gorge, empowered by Alex and Audrey.
In the lingerie store, Alex met Taylor for the first time since high school, but Audrey brushed her off before taking Alex to the dressing rooms for their tryst. Taylor however decided to interrupt the tryst in order to get rid of a disliked boss and make love with Alex herself. This empowered Lorelei to a much greater degree, allowing her to dominate Gorge.
Tony Koblitz had recognized Lorelei as she entered the mall as the woman he thought had killed his old associate Damon. He and his friends J’von and Mike decided to investigate, partly for revenge but mainly to find out what happened to the money that Damon kept. They hatched a plan to abduct Alex in order to not confront Lorelei directly. They interrupted Alex’s and Taylor’s tryst, and brought them at gunpoint to the mall’s parking garage, where Alex attempted to fight them off. Alex was gravely wounded by a gunshot, but was saved by the arrival of Rachel.[2]
Results[]
- Taylor met Rachel and Lorelei.
- Alex asked Lorelei and Rachel to be nicer to each other.
- Tony, J’von, and Mike were imprisoned.[3]
- Michelle was introduced to Lorelei.[4]
- Taylor broke up with Gabriel.[4]
Theories[]
Lorelei had earlier mentioned that Alex’s sexual charm would be “espcially potent”. It is also implied that Lorelei’s used an enchantment on Audrey in order to set up her tryst with Alex. Alex’s luck in partners likely also affected him meeting Taylor.
If magic has side effects or wider effects than its primary target, it is also possible that Lorelei’s enchantment also affected Taylor.
