"Oh yeah, the Concord. I don't have time to get into the nitty-gritty of it all here…" And they say I'M lazy. Well, lucky for you, I have the time to get into it. I was even there when the papers were signed. So I can REALLY get into it. So, why not? Plus, No. V wants us all to make a receipt so we'll be registered into the CaDCom system officially. Apparently, our branch name won't even show up until all five of us make a receipt. So I guess I can talk about the West Virginia Concord for a bit. If, you know, anyone finds that to be interesting.
Dan said it was an agreement between the "Master of the House" and Eisheth, right? Well, I guess that's kind of true. That's not really what the Concord is. The Concord is an agreement between the Hamilton's and Eisheth. It basically reiterates our original agreements and requires the Indigo Government to stay out of it. The agreement between the Master of the House and Eisheth is a lot older than the Concord. I'd know, I signed it. It's my house, technically. Or it was my house. I don't know. I guess it could still be mine if I really put in the effort to take it back. But, it's a lot less work for me to just let the Hamiltons or whoever keep it in check. Plus, ever since Phantom hijacked the thing, I can't even call it back to the Ouroboros, so what's the point? I don't need a vacation home in Phantom's lane.
So, I guess the more interesting question would be, how did the House come about in the first place? Well, basically, we all wanted out of the Ouroboros. Mind you, this was a long, LONG time ago. Back before we could leave the Ouroboros. And being trapped in there kind of sucks after a while. So, Eisheth came up to me and said, "Hey, I want out, you want out, and I know how we can do it." Turns out her "how we can do it" involved asking a bunch of Elders for help. Fate, Phantom, and the Pale, specifically. So that fun crew got together and helped us put together the House allowing us to leave the Ouroboros. Fate supplied the road that House would lie along, Phantom provided the doors and windows, the Pale provided the frame, Eisheth added the magic, and I added some finishing touches.
Eisheth had no interest in actually owning the House, so she gave it to me. In exchange, she and any of her descendants were free to walk along the road laid by Fate to cross between boundary lines. Fate wanted nothing in return for providing the road as it was, and still is, part of Fate's plans, I guess. All Phantom wanted in return was for the House to open new doors elsewhere. Basically, Phantom wanted to have the House travel around a bunch. I didn't hold up that end of the bargain and just kind of let the House sit in the Ouroboros for eons. Whoops. Which led Phantom to eventually repossess the House, and now it pops in and out of Cycles constantly, opening doors as it goes. I think it shows up on Wednesdays, so there's always one last day to use it before a new Sphere starts. Part of Fate's plans, no doubt. And the Pale wanted the same thing as Eisheth, a free ride for her and her kids. Of course, the Pale got tossed into the Underside like I dunno, thirteen Spheres ago? But her kids can still use the road. And I guess if she ever got out of the Underside, she could use it too. That'd be scary, haha. It'd suck for the Flipside to go back under her control. It would probably be a mess I'd have to clean up.
Anyway, yeah, that's pretty much it. It was a House made by myself, Eisheth, Fate, Phantom, and the Pale to leave the Ouroboros. It worked and still works, though it's basically in Phantom's control now. The Concord was an agreement made by the Hamiltons, the Indigos, and Eisheth to basically uphold the original agreements now that I don't use the House anymore. I wonder if Phantom was involved with the Concord at all? Eh, not that it matters that much. Fate and Phantom will do whatever they want with the House, and there's not much that the Hamiltons, Indigos, or Eisheth could really do about it. Fate could just cut off the road at any time, and Phantom could shut the doors once and for all. I don't think they will, though. It seems like the House is sort of integral to their plans.
