For Pluralthon in response to a prompt by sinistmer about a plural system working as a medium.

I wrote this as deliberate pastiche of older styles, which I hope I haven't carried to excess, and imagine the setting to be sometime around 1920. In doing so, I also found it couldn't fit the standard "plot skeleton" expected of most modern stories and is more episodic in nature, and violates a lot of modern standards in writing like "show, don't tell"... but I really like writing in this style. There will probably be a few historical inaccuracies, though I did my best.
