Rather than clutter up the main Day1 thread, this thread is primarily for Rhiannon, Natalie, and Cassandra, and the events that unfurl when the temporary block on your Trump abilities, primarily your ability to "Sense Trump" expires and collapses.
As a reminder, Rhiannon's collapses at about 10:40, about the time she finishes her current bout of online shopping, Natalie's at about 11:30, and Cassandra's at about midday.

If you've bothered to open the "Trump Basics" Lesson plan Cordelia gave you after the meeting in the library, then the first point to note is that the further you are away from a major trump source, as in trump object or artefact, as opposed to a 'tappable' energy source which is what you use to create trump objects such as your pictures, then the weaker it's influence. Inverse square law if your familiar with the term, doubling the distance decreases the effect by a factor of 4, trebling the distance decreases the effect by a factor of 9, etc.

Now the strongest sources in the Mansion, aside from Cordelia and her Sword, are her Trump deck, her workshop, which is on the second floor on the far side of the house from your rooms, Siobahn's room on the 3rd floor, and Qiong Yan's room on the 3rd floor (see the mansion plans).
Now Rhiannon's room (Diamond) is closest to the strongest source on your side of the house, whilst Cassandra's room is closest to the second strongest.

Returning to the Candela analogy used by Cordelia in the "Post Meeting Meeting" thread, Siobhan's room aggregates to about 60million Candela, whilst Qiong Yan's a mere 10 million.
This means that when the blocks expire you're all in for some very serious migraines until you learn to consciously block, then unconsciously block whilst conscious and alert, the radiant sources.. basically you all suffer from massive sensory overload, and Rhiannon gets the short straw, whilst Natalie is the least affected, at least initially.

Remember if you move towards a source, or a source moves towards you then, the closer to the source your are the more it hurts!

Given Rhiannon is going to be first..

Rhiannon completes her shopping, and realizes that the block on her Trump abilities installed by Cordelia could expire at any moment..
What does she do .. if anything?

It was almost time. Cordelia claimed that she installed a block on Rhiannon to prevent her from crumbling under the excruciating pain she felt at Cordelia's first arrival. With no reason to doubt Cordelia, Rhiannon crawled up in her bed, covered her head with her pillow and braced for what came next.

Whilst not quite as crushing as Cordelia's arrival, the sudden onslaught of Trump energy as the block gave way, was nearly as bad, and just as painful.
When Rhiannon came to a few seconds later, the pneumatic jack hammer that was pounding on her skull which felt like somebody had cleaved it in half with an axe was possibly worse than Cordelia's arrival, but given she didn't remember much about that it was difficult to be sure. It did remind her of the incident in the Dorm at Easter...

Rhinnon will find concentrating on anything or doing anything almost impossible, certainly for the first hour or so, by which point she will have started to work out how to shield herself from the onslaught, although only when she can actually concentrate on doing so. She may find some form of painkiller helpful....

Whatever Rhiannon prepared for in her head was nothing like the reality. In a sudden rush, a swell of pressure filed her skull, threatening to burst it apart while a sudden sharp spike of pain brought instant darkness. She awoke to sensation of a cricket batter practicing with her brain. The intensity brought almost writhing agony, which she tried to squeeze out by folding her pillow around her head.

"Zou Yan!" She cried out, with tears staining her cheeks. "Please! Call Kassidy to bring me Motrin."

They tablets will take about half an hour to work, but they'll cut the effect of the sensory overload in half. They have a peak efficiency for the next 2 hours after that after which time they will start to wear off, losing all effect by the end of the 5th hour after you took them.

Next under the spot light will be Natalie, so I need to know where she is circa 11:30..

When Kassidy brings in the tablets, she looks up at him pathetically, trying to focus on his instructions. She takes the first two tablets, throwing them hungrily tote back of her mouth and follows it with water. It would be a long 30 minutes, but she went back to her curled position with the pillow wrapped around her head and closed her eyes.

In reply to GameMaster (msg # 7):

Natalie's morning run had a practical purpose apart from maintaining a familiar routine in an unfamiliar place. It allowed her to get away from the immediate environment of the mansion and find a secluded location where she could prepare herself for the impending fall of Cordelia's block. She decided on the gardens and one of the natural waterfalls, settling in roughly half an hour before the drop to meditate. She sat cross-legged on a low, flat outcrop a couple yards from water's edge, facing the waterfall, and closed her eyes. She focused her breathing as taught in the sweat lodges of her people. My runs today will have to suffice when it comes to purifying sweats, she thought to herself. Not like I had adequate time to build even a small temporary lodge. She stilled her thoughts as best she could and prepared herself much as she would in the moment while expecting a hard body-check during a hockey or lacrosse match.
