Accidental Crossroads: 14.
Some time later, after several rounds of restoratives, John and Cassie were in bed and cuddling.
"This is so nice," Cassie wiggled in closer, "If a girl can get a Cassandrian guy in bed ... they don't cuddle. They're not interested in a girl's day. They don't pet or stroke," she shivered as John ran a hand down a silken flank. "Little kisses never happen," John took the hint, she sighed. "This is wonderful."
"Well," said the Seven, "The mating habits of the Cassandrian female are certainly something to see."
Sure enough, when John felt like he still had a handful of the Powers that Be ... he did. Even if nobody could see them. This private snuggle time was precious and the Powers picked a piss-poor time to show themselves.
"Who are you?" Cassie cried. "How did you get here? Guards!"
"Won't do any good, Cassie," The Powers that Be said, "On this planet, you have to have a previously observable physical connection with a Watcher to see us."
Ceiling said, "Cassie? Is something wrong? Is there someone there?"
"Where have you guys been?" asked John, "I thought I felt you."
Cassie looked daggers at him.
The Powers said, "Checking things out. Interesting place you have here. This is Cassandra?"
When the Powers are together they speak in seven part harmony. It's melodious and quite charming ... unless you happen to be a naked Cassie, then it's uncomfortable.
"Crossroads, it's a connection between Earth and Chaos." Cassie said. She was trying to find clothes. "I don't know why I'm telling you anything ... completely against the rules." She looked up, "Ceiling? Will you dress me please." She was.
"The bank on Chaos is interesting." TPTB said.
"You WENT to CHAOS?!? How did you get back? Which bank? What's going on?" Cassie moaned, "I am so fired."
