Ted Marcus and John Mbusa were competitive swimmers. Tess Daley had been there coach before she was being warped all over time and space to join battles featuring transformations and giant robots. At least that's what the most recent dream Thalia was having said. It morphed into a video game, an all portals, bo context run with a different character, though Thalia couldn't tell who because it was from a first person perspective. Somehow the name Michael van Roundabout came to her, possibly an alias of the player. Finally it switched to an advert, "join Crystalplace the minotaur and her naga boyfriend for exciting adventures. " The setting resembled the demon town.
Meanwhile, Rajesh was using a scale model of the solar system to locate good spawn points for his planned game for the people of Earth. He'd realised the folly of his original plan and was instead trying to make a computer game based on the world that he would be able to sell. It was going quite well, he'd used the language of the system to program it but made sure the fiction marks he had used for the achievement debugging were hard-coded in. This meant he'd know which were proper to the player and which their character. He had an extra character species tree called Factory Spawn consistent with the factory dungeon breaking and presets relating to several characters he felt would provide an interesting challenge, including James, Wolfe, Sarah, Thalia and himself. The easiest option read "Following the disbanding of the Assassin's guild, John Quill has gained Telekinesis and joined the Adventurer's guild."

Stella Glazier, mother of Wolfe, was having problems with her husband using the newly introduced Mark Property feature to lay claim to everything. She'd spent the whole day casting a spell called Correct Property Marking which changed the details to pull from a neutral external source - she thought it was the system though it was really based on the perception of its architect Rajesh.

Her husband had also been arguing with the local magistrate about fair prices, which ended up with him receiving a lecture on the differences between fair and just. The last action he had taken prior to his arrest was to kick their son out of the house. Stella had found an option in the system called the friends list and was using it to keep in touch with Wolfe.
Her husband was guilty of the third most serious crime ever committed in the kingdom but it was just charging more than legal maximums for his goods, she wouldn't believe that was even in the top ten crimes but apparently it was more that he was only the third person to do anything criminal according to the events that took place at the conclusion of the trial.
Stella wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand for glass due to her lack of training having served more in the role once known as housewife prior to recent events. That didn't mean she wasn't going to perform the duties her husband was unable to, more that she was unable to maintain the expected quality of his services.

Someone was trying to convince a Smith to make a level thirty three sword but it wasn't working since that was another hidden attribute. How anyone other than those that could peak into records of Earth came across the concept was unclear but divine retribution was soon forthcoming after they refused to leave the Smith alone.

"I'm happy to be breaking foxes with the edge of the surreal." Declared the focus character of the latest dream. They'd been narrating people with strange properties such as being twenty-forty-thirty while opening a tin of purple not paint.
