(jukebox)
weight shifts and the dreadlocked Gnawer half-rises
bootheel nudging back in some gentle maneuver
lobster-trap turned hammock-bench repositioned against the wall
successfully arranged in what resembles a proper chair a little more closely
last minute prayer the seat's version of comfort will last just that much longerat least the steady supply of beer will join rank to fend off such irritations
thus satisfied, James o' the Eagles settles in for the long haul
Adren's deep umber eyes casually watching the gathered Sept(aurelius/foxfire)
The Silver Fangs stand together, a coterie of lean figures, one clad in black, the other a sleeker contrast in her crisp white suit. And of course one could not forget the other, Sevastian also present. The Alpha's two packmates, lounging behind her. One tall, steady and silent, the other a contrast in expression and demeanor. It was quiet murmurs and arch smiles all around with the trio as they awaited the Moot's commencement.--
Riss stands among her Pack, the rangy Glasswalker's eyes constantly leaving one figure for another, keenly absorbing all around her, occasionally engaging in whispered laughter with her Packmates. Shoving, nudging, playfully shushing and, of course, madly chewing gum.
(hail mary)
The Opening howl done, she shifts again to homid, her body once more clothed in the off-white simple dress. Her rosary remains in hand, and her dark eyes open to watch the proceedings as the cracking of the bone begins. Joining the others, she sinks again to her knees, with a clack of the obsidian beads that dangle from her fingertips. She places her hands in her lap, smoothing the skirt across fragile looking thighs.She is silent, solemn. demure.
[Innocence is relative.](justin case)
He stands a respectful distance back from LeRoy. Not knowing what to do, wagging his tail periodically as he keeps a keen eye on everything, but especially on LeRoy, for any sign of something for him to do.(yu gan/Hyde/Will/Ewan)
Yu Gan is sitting with his pack. In lupus form as he usually is in the Moots. That of a long legged Maned wolf. Reddish and black furr blowing gently in the on shore breeze from the lake. Nose raised a bit scenting the air and the many Garou in attendance.
Hyde is in his birth form for the moot. That of the massive steel gray furred crinos. His 3 fingered hands tipped with wicked black talons in this form. His Nordic Ice eyes looking out from his place with the Eagles. Being a child of elementals it shows forth here in the Caern, where the real world and the umbra overlap. Little flickers of purple electricity play across the Godi’s fur. Icy fire burns behind those Nordic blue eyes. The air seems charged with ozone around him and the wind stirs his packs fur and hair. Hyde was VERY MUCH claimed as the elementals own and it showed.Will, being Corax, doesn’t want to be eaten for fuckin’ up a GAROU meeting so he’s perched up high in Corvid form. Absently playing with the red woven band at his ankle.
Ewan stands with his Alpha. The Obsidian Data showing a unified front this evening. The newest pack in the city present at the moot. Tonight Ewan’s in his birth form. A tall sleek furred crinos with black fur, dark gray markings on it, but that’s not what stands out. Most present have seen Glasswalkers before. What stands out are the bones protruding from his skin. Large shards of bone jut forth from his shoulders, his elbows, down his for arms in sort of bony scaled plates. Around his knuckles… even across the massive crinos chest the bones layer like some sort of gruesome chest plate. Down in patches across his abbs. The outside of his thighs show the spurs, and at the knees. Even his head is incrusted to a point. Bone shard and plates ascending from his muzzle up between his eyes to fan out in a sort of bone spur crown on his head. Small jagged bones peeking though over the brows, behind the ears. The entire effect rather disconcerting. At one hip a gleaming cell phone glimmers, alive here in the umbra. Shimmering with repressed power hanging on a dedicated belt, At the other a roll of mystical urban cammo duct tape.
(leroy)
BnB lead his troupe in. It had grown considerably even. Barny, Nelly Bell and Harold flanking him. Justin's shoulder under the grasp of his hand was escorted hence. Tashna likewise to the side. Soda Pop however absent for the moment.Taking up their usual stance and position, eyes leveling upon those present and arriving. A nod given to his battle buddy Jukebox. Another towards Jedi. William however got a smile.
(whoops..didnt see Justin's post. Insert turns and fetches him with a grasp and brings the cub to his side)(electric jedi rayne)
*The newest of the packs of Chicago, Jedi stood against Ewan in homid form. Her once blondish long hair was now cut shorter and dyed the deepest of blacks. She wore a black vinyl corset with red inlay and black ribbon lacing the front and the only thing holding it together. A pair of matching black vinyl pants into matrix style boots. SHe even went and took the time to polish her nails a deep red. Just uner her navel in that bit of skin shown, is the purple marking of wireless bat, same markings seen at the base of her neck just under her hair, as well as the small of her back*(Cliona)
After the howl, she takes her place with the Watchmen, comfortable in her tanktop and jeans. hunkering down to a crouch, she slides her pack off, and cracks open one of the beers inside. What, you thought she'd come unprepared? No way. She takes a few swigs, and watches as they all gather, her gaze on the Grand Elder, ready to get this party started so the REAL party can begin... She also stands as Second for the Fianna Voice, until the Sandman pulls himself away from other discussions. Much to her annoyance.Fingers scratch at the scars along her belly, then the upper arm, where it looks as if her left arm has been torn off and reattached. It has. by Fenris, even. Ow.
(AnneMarie)
Silent, she stands near her beta, with the Eagles. She is on double duty until the arrival of the Fenrir Elder as he is waylaid by a discussion elsewhere, standing as his second and Voice on the Council until he arrives - as amusing as a concept that might be to those who know her. Arms cross, she remains standing. Tall and slender, strong and lean. Silent, as always.(jack salem)
Jack stands alone after the opening howl, returning to the form of a teenage boy in faded jeans and a wrinkled gray tshirt. He stands back from the crowd a bit, dark eyes passing over the other Garou as he seeks out his packmate. Who, of course, hasn't shown.(tashanaheca/kasche)
Tasha stands with his alpha to be, quiet and stoic as always, dressed as always.. with just a little more flair.The big German rocker enters and looks around seeking a group of Fenrir, staying to the back, and in homid.
(kemp)
Cracking of the bone time and all he think was it was more like cracking his ass. Shaggy hair dyed a hideious red with a good inch of muddy brown roots showing by now. Jeans sagging, hanging off narrow hips. Boxers showing above the jeans. Wrinkled shirt looking like he dug it out of the bottom of a pile of clothes. Sitting down near his pack with a huge sigh.(st)
The Opening Howl has taken place. Voices pitched to the sky above, transformed into howls that cascaded in a mournful waterfall of sound over the Umbral landscape of the Assembly area. Trickling back till there was again peaceful quiet, this stillness now only broken by the soft lapping of water against land. Somewhere close by was the heart of the Caern, and situated within, Maelstrom thrummed.The Caller of the Wyld has done his duty, called upon the Caern Totem, those of the Packs present and collected Spirits that have some place of value in the hearts and minds of the creatures standing and sitting collected together.
Now it is time to speak. Air grievances. Ask of the Council and address issues of concern. Rites pass by and soon enough, it is to the Truthcatcher then, that attention turns. And to the Cracking of the Bone.
The Grand Elder, Balance without Fault, holds the bone - thick and heavy, taken in recent hunt. Dark gaze pass over all those who have gathered, his own eyes undreadable. He stands, a massive man, with barrel chest bare under open shirt, jeans pressed and perfect, and dress shoes that would better serve in the board room, then here. When he shifted to howl, he had those shoes. When he shifted back, he had those shoes. Of all things to dedicate - the Glasswalker made sure to have his shoes.
Seconds pass, and then with a crAAAACk the bone breaks between his hands, and waving his right to speak first with nothing more then a nod, he hands the bone to tonight's TruthCathcer: Tashna, Philodox of the Uktena.
And so it begins.
(tashna)
Tashna steps forward and sweeps the crowd with his gaze, accepting the bone with little formality. His eyes drop on Cliona, and he walks to her, offering the bone with a slight smile, and remaining before her.(syndel)
Syndel stood alone, simply watching the others while in homid form. A plain white long sleeve shirt, black jeans, gloves and her ususal black aligator skin cowboy hat.(Cliona)
When she receives the bone, she steps forward, the slender Irish lass taking point before her new packmates. Packing with a Lord and a Glasswalker - this is bound to have some detrimental effects on her personality... either that, or the others will learn to hold their Liquor."Most o'yeh know me, but for th'ones that dinnae - Cliona 'ricinus' Murran, Fostern Fianne Spirit Talkin lass, an' th'Mistress o'Rites. I stand b'fore yeh t'announce th'new pack formed o'me and me mates; Cheza, Milo an' meself were accepted by Owl. We're a scoutin pack, an' strive t'follow in'er Ways o'stealth n secret. Territory claimed in th'downtown area where none o'yeh have taken yet.. Yeh'll see th'markers."
And that's that. She hands back the bone, retakes her seat, and yeah, opens another beer. Always come prepared, and all.
(kemp)
Silently cheering Cliona for a short, sweet speach. A lift of his chin for Butta and a wiggle of brows at Nelly.(ytashna)
He nods at the speach and looks to the bone, then up to his packmates to be Nelly and Butta, walking the bone to them and offering it dead between them.(nelly)
Nelly stood with her pack. A hand drapped around Justin's shoulders still the bone started around.She stepped out in front two paces to make known the pack's voice had something to say when time came.
Blue eyes peeking from underneith the brim of her hat scanned around, smiled upon Cliona's newfound home, and gave Kemp a moment show of puckered lips to imitate a kiss.
"Ah wish to speak, but ah'll get it after othas," pushing Tash gently with a smile to her lips. ((Player just got here needs to type LOL sorry))
(mother's riddle)
Mother's Riddle is there. after the howl, his presence has been anonymous, standing in the background behind his packmates. The large crinos with his dark pelt and scars stands with arms crossed, listening and waiting.(tashna)
He winks back and smiles, and walks back around the circle, holding the bone out then to Decker and nodding firmly with the offer.(Decker )
He had been there for the Howl, and would be there for the rest -- but sometime after the Theurge portion of the moot, the Fenrir had briefly slipped away.He was back now, stalking Hispo-formed from the shadows of the Penumbra, blood on his muzzle. God (or was it Odin, and Thor, and the rest of his ancestors' cold gods?) only knew what he had been up to.
The direwolf nudges his packmates one by one, James - Kemp - Hyde - Annemarie. In that order. Here a whuff; there a brush of a powerful whither. Then he turns to catch Tashna's eye, his own -- pale and almost silvery in this form -- holding the other's for a beat. He did not recognize him. There were many new Garou at this moot. That was, he thought, probably a good thing.
He takes the Bone in his teeth, and clamps it under a forepaw as he sits on his haunches. Something about the anatomy didn't quite ring true as Canis lupus -- nevermind the size, five feet at the shoulders. Something else about it; the shoulders too broad, the chest too barreled, the digits on the paws just a touch too long. And the eyes; the shape of them, the ferocity and intelligence (what intelligence this Modi had, anyway) within glinting. Just as something about Glabro reminded one of wolf, something about Hispo reminded one of man.
"There have been ritual killings in the city," those who have heard his uneducated drawl are always surprised by the flawless, hard High Speech he is capable of. In his veins, the blood of Fenriswolves; the blood of savage kings. "Prostitutes found slain, their bodies carved. A kin is responsible. A kin may have performed these murders in order to bind the spirit of the slain for some greater purpose.
"If you know anything of this, speak now."
(tashna)
Tashna turns to look for anyone who wishes to speak on it, reaching as he does for the bone from the Fenrir elder.(Vašek )
Black as night, the enormous Shadow Lord crouches in Crinos, a necklace of old and yellowed skulls the only break from his pitch fur. That, and the gleam of his yellow eyes. Beside him, his sister: tall and sleek, cool and remote. They are completely silent, completely watchful, completely still.For now, anyway.
(Calvin)
...is already sighing loudly and fidgeting.(Vast)
...is whispering in Josephina's ear, grinning as he does so. Occasionally he tosses glances in the direction of James Wagner.(kemp)
Snorting because he had already told this to Barny. Course, the guy was old and hell may of forgot to tell his pack. Kicking off his shoes to start picking between his toes. Nothing like toe jam to flick at people.(yu/hyde)
*Yu Gan tilts his lupine head and his huge ears flicker forward to listen. Scenting the air. He'd not heard of this but it's something that would intrest the Uktena.*Hyde for his part had started to investigate it, but the sorce of information he tried to tap had screamed and freaked out in public so he'd told Decker that route wasn't going to work and Decker speeking here was perhaps the end result of that*
(aurelius/foxfire)
Gabriel is silent, however he does cast a vaguely amused glance his Packmates way, as they whisper. Josephina places a hand on his arm and draws his ear to her lips. Perhaps she repeats what Sevastian had told her, for the Theurge's expression certainly shifts and his dark eyes move to the Fianna Elder, then briefly catch his Packmate's. He smirks briefly, and then returns his attention to the Fenris Elder. The Silver Fang knew only what his Elder had told him, their part in the investigation small enough, a request asked of the Carreau de Sang and performed.They seemed content to watch and listen.
(decker)
After the protracted, albeit interested silence, the Modi growls low in his chest."None have anything to add? No insight into kin performing Rites suddenly? No ideas on what her final purpose may be? No questions, no answers, not a [fucking] thought in all your heads?"
(james)
James was the lucky recipient of touch from muscular shoulder
strong enough to nearly shift him off the lobster-crate, at least he wasn't wearing any of the blood
the Modi's steely grey fur stark contrast to the tanned and tattood flesh it touches
the back of his right forearm flexed against the direwolf's passing flank
Eagle pack's body language communicado transmitting all that needs to be said
there's little other movement as Decker takes the proverbial spotlight on the floor"Wen' wi' Doc Slaught'r a in'erview th' Lord Kin Agnessa coupla day' back. She'd seen th' killer, 'n th' secon' slaying, gave good 'nuff f'r Im'gen a do a sketch. S'all I know've it."
(yu)
Yu stands and shakes his head to the offer of the bone. He wouldn't be speaking long. In the language of the wolves he replys shortly* ~WT~ There are tales of the Skinner, a kinfolk whom proformed rites to become garou, but such had to do with the deaths of garou. Unless these prostitutes are all dead garou. It wouldn't apply.*The Manned wolf turns and sits again. Kin ... COULD do rituals but Yu didn't know of any that benifit from killing hookers*
(jack)
"You said 'her'. Do you have any reason to believe the killer is a woman, or was that just a blanket statement?" His voice comes quietly from the back, and the expression on his face suggests that even he is shocked that he spoke.(barny)
HE shrugs a little, looking at Decker. "The Knights will dig into this further. Either myself or Bread'n'Butter is going to come to the Eagles to make sure that we spread our searches properly. But so far, we have precious little information, and knowledge beyond it has actually happened, which Truth'in'Frenzy shared with us." A slight shrug of his shoulders. Before KEmp sought him out and told them that some kin was killing people, he had no idea of nothing, and they still dont. not even a clue where to begin looking.(tash)
His brow furrows and his dark eyes fix on the man speaking, a rattlesnake spirit curls up around his throat from inside his shirt, fixing the garou with it's gaze as well.
"Do not speakssss withoutss the bonessssss"
So the mute philodox does have other resources when need it seems.He looks to the Fenrir elder, who still has the bone, figuring he wishes to speak next, for a moment.
He also then fixes Yu Gan and Mother's Riddle with his dark gaze.
Kasche then steps forward, gesturing for the bone
(Milo)
Milo growls under his breath at the mention of his sister, but stands and moves forward. Eyes stealy dark, lost in the paleness of his skin. He glances at Tash, and gestures with a smirk, but speaks beforehand. "The elder asks a direct question. We answer. Agnessa is my sister, and has done her duty by giving the description of what she knows." Here his eyes lock on Jukebox. "I would appreciate next time, however, the intimidation go through me."Break gaze, step back.
(hyde)
to MULTIPLE: A mental nudge from Hyde. "See.. told ya the fuckers wouldn't tell me shit."(yu)
Yu Gan looks at Tash and flicks an ear. He wasn't going to play hot patato with a bone and take 43 hours for the entire group to answer a question that was posted openly.. twice.Decker hadn't ceeded the floor he'd asked for information.
A bit of a nod to Milo's words about a direct question and answer.
Sitting. Rather moody now the pup had tried to give him the fuzzy eyeball.*
(jukebox)
the Bone Gnawer Elder lifts a brow at Tashna's hissing commentary
chuckling a bit to himself before quietly allowing Milo to field a response
beer lifted in toast of appreciation for the other's clarification
"Az I'd 'ppreciate nex' time she dunn choose a lie t'me firs' when I've ask'er a direct question." the Adren smiles "'Fair 'nuff?"(leroy)
(Edits) LeRoy's eyes go to Decker. It was obvious he wished to say something upon the matter. What however that could be was not so easily distinguishable from his expression given to he.(milo)
(Milo)
A sharp nod toward Jukebox. A brow toward Hyde. "I will speak with her."
(decker)
Well, now they were talking, after he'd insulted them all. There was some grim, distant humor to be had in this. Chicago Sept: where people opened their mouths only to snap at each other. Not that he could complain."It's fine," the direwolf barks/replies to Tashnaheca. "They are answering me, and I don't care to play ball with the Bone." Another feature of the Chicago Sept: shockingly non-traditional.
Jukebox, then Milo, makes him flick a glower at the Shadow Lord Milo. "Hyde later went to extract more information. She declined to speak to him."
And Jukebox: "Where is the sketch?" Perhaps he should be embarrassed; his mate drew it, and he has no idea where it went.
Yu Gan: "Is it possible for kin to court the favor of banes directly? To become ... fomori, favored servants to powerful banes?"
Jack: "We don't know who the killer is." Still garouspeech; still direwolf; still bloody about the jaws, though as he listened -- his ears swiveling, his head cocking to each speaker -- he had licked his chops clean at least. "Nor the sex."
Mother's Riddle: a nod.
And finally, he gives Kasche the bone. Snaps it up in his jaws and flings it arcing in a toss of his head.
(jukebox)
(adds)"Im'gen's still got ih, far'z I know."
(jack)
Jack nods at Deckers answer, frowning thoughtfully as he resumes trying to blend into the scenery.(tash/kasche)
Kashe shrugs.. garou moots.. interesting.
He steps forward, looking to Decker.
"Modi, Ich habe information, writings of dreams from Agnessa, can bring to you, see if makes sense.. this man seems to haunt her somehow."Tashna nods to Milo and the snake wrapped around his throat speaks again
Irregularsss from what I amss used to'sss, but effecientssss itsss issssssss, acceptedsssss(yu)
*When Queried directly, before the bone is passed. He nods and speaks again in the language of wolves* "Yes.... it can happen though not the traditional way. Banes sometimes even make aggrements with humans. Pacts to get what they want. Most possessions are not known and aginst ones will. But some humans enter into them freely.. "Deals with the Devil" so to say. Not as frequent but very possiable Rhya.(leroy)
"Good.." He growled then. Hands slipping to his hips. "I do not know anything about this Rhya-Silence. But that does not mean I am not interested nor willing to vest our commentment and aid should you require it. In fact..I offer our help to the fullest of our capabilities. But we can speak later on that" LeRoy's voice booms; mindful that here and now was neither the place to discuss information of that sensitive of nature nor discuss what and how he and his pack could offer in aid. Nor why he's so vested to give it even."I will say this however...I have noticed of late a pattern in which the wyrm has been plying his trade. It seems thru our kinfolk." And he just leave it at that. And how many times do we pit ourselves into the maw of the wyrm because it all started with our Kin? Who here would agree with that assessment?
(aur/foxfire)
"And of course, Silence-Rhya, you are aware the Silver Fangs are more than willing to assist however possible."Virago's comment is mere polite reiteration of fact, and she is silent once more after this point.
(decker)
Catching the Bone again in those huge teeth -- neatly, and one doubtlessly has an irreverrent image of the Fenrir Elder playing catch with a frisbee, all half-ton of grey and glowering muscle that he was -- the Modi again clamps the Bone beneath his right forepaw.Most of the speakers simply get his stare this round, and a whuff of acknowledgment here and there. When Kasche speaks, the direwolf rises to all fours and shakes out his fur. Except his fur seems to shrink back into his body, and when he crouches again, he's homid, dressed in some old wifebeater-and-jean combo or other, the Bone now large in his rough hand.
Speaking in plain(?) English for the benefit of the bird, "You know where ta find me." And that applied for them all: "Y'all know. We's on tha Docks now. If ya figger anything else out. 'R find a dead body cut up in Wyrm-glyphs. Let us know quick as ya kin, so we kin Deathdust it 'n have a chat."
A glance sideways to the Silver Fang, her and her fuckin' white. "We know," his low acknowledgment to their neighbors.
Then, the Modi frowns at BnB. "How ya mean?"
(Cliona)
There's a slight smirk for something- quite possibly unheard, as she flicks a glance toward her packmates. Then she remains sitting, comfortably. She does flick a glance up at Decker, however. "If'n yeh have need o'more talens, lad, Yeh let me know."Directly. Not through th'fookin fangs.
"An' Me mates n'I would like t'check out th'umbral areas o'th'scene o'th'murders - if'n yeh could get th'information to meself, I'd appreciate it."
(leroy)
There was a single glance given to Virago. His eyes unflinching, hazelnut amber'd orbs swallowing up her form. Peircing like hot syrup. Of the Fangs, only she thus far had he no complaints. But that was neither here nor there, and his eyes fell from she and their cold stare. Back upon Silence they came with a daring gleen.A shrug given. A sigh, but his eyes never strayed away nor flinched and blinked. "For that other day, We'll compare notes. Till then..I will not upset this moot with presumptions I have little proof to support. Yet when you and Drums'on'Skulls 'ear m'out. Ya miaght see what Im hinting about. Till then. I'll hold my tongue on the matter. I'll make arrangements to seek your two's audiance." A nod, a warrior's nod to a battle hardened brother he gave to James. It lingered in his eyes, the trust that he had something important to say. Just not here..not for everyone to hear. Warriors as well had their own councils..this was his way of seeking one with them.
(decker)
Decker seems to have forgotten he's shifted out of the wolfskin. He bares his teeth briefly at Cliona, a low growl vibrating silent in his chest. He'll ask for talens from whomever the fuck he damn well pleased, the look says. So much for gratitude. "Our Godi's more'n capable'a makin' talens," he deigns to add. "He was jus' busy seein' to tha pack's defenses."He's scowling when his attention comes back onto BnB. Hard to say why. "Fine," he says, short and final, and flicks another storm-grey glance around the gathered. If no one else was talking, he tosses the Bone back to Tashnaheca. Steps back. Pulls up a crate; sits his ass down.
to MULTIPLE: (good god. you guys realize we are ALL ON AT ONCE? *amazed*)
Totemphone: Think tha stupid Coggie's 'bout ta spout some shit 'bout how we cain't trust our kin again. His ass was anglin' that way at tha meetin' after my frenzy.
(CLiona)
The only reply? A chuckled smirk, as she leans back and listens.(jukebox)
dangling ends of dreadlocks dance over the t-shirt's seamed shoulders
rugged jawline tipping up in his pack's trademark statement
transcribing the all but mentioned perameters of what sought audience would entail
the Gnawer and Coggie had fought at each other's backs time and time again
the least James could offer in return was a fair ear in a time of need
indifferent to the Modi's own choice of reciprocal scowl
unreadable his own anticipations regarding the matterhe was, after all, the Eagle's dedicated public relations liason
beer wench, too, as it seems.... bottle dug from nearby cooler and tossed to now-seated Fenrir(hyde)
to MULTIPLE: *Hyde snorts.* "Probably more worried about one of these new guys or lone wolves poaching their many many fuck toys... that's my guess.Speaking of kin.. *a beat* Found a high bread Fenrir. Going to take her under our protection. Nissa Sorensdottir.
(truth)
Looking up from the fascination of watching grass grow. A look around at the others and then attention was shifting towards Hyde with a lift of one brow.(tash)
Tashna catches the bone with a nod, and his eyes now go to Milo as he walks it over there, holding it out for him, at close range his throat muscles seem to move under that rattlesnake as it speaks.
"You wishessss the floorsssss, Eldersssss?"(am)
to MULTIPLE: Totemphone - her metal voice somehow soft, yet hard, and unfailingly polite for all her ire. "They seem to think too much of themselves, the knights. Barny's attack for walking though their territory is proof enough of that. What is the point of bringing up something only to say 'not now, but later?'"(decker)
At least Decker doesn't try to catch this in his teeth. The beercan smacks into his palm and he wipes his bloody chin on the back of the other hand. Then he grabs a handful of his shirt and wipes again, leaving rusty streaks on the white cotton. Now you know how he gets 'em so filthy.Pophiss, and he settles, feet planted wide, ass on the edge of a crate, elbows on his knees, shoulders thick. Crouched like a gargoyle, listening.
(kemp)
to MULTIPLE: That the same one that is called Agnessa and calls herself Nessa? Cause if it is, forget it, nothing but trouble. Realizing he must of missed something. What attack?
(decker)
to MULTIPLE: What tha fuck? If she told him, he must've let it go in one ear and out the other.And, Why tha fuck is a snake speakin' fer tha Truthcatcher?
(ewan)
*Ewan looks around and down at his Matrex-esk Alpha. Flickering an ear*
(jukebox)
one scowl, one snort, and now one BG's low chuckle rolling through the totemphoneLikely.... just smile and nod, and it'll let him blow enough steam to make up for it in longer periods of silence inbetween.
(am)
to MULTIPLE: "He is mute. Battle Scar. As for the attack, Barny provoked me into a fight. I lost. It is not something I am proud of."(hyde)
to MULTIPLE: *Hydes voice* Nissa Sorensdottir is not the same one as the shadow lord.Agnessa or Nessa is the bitch that started screaming about Jukebox when I asked her if she had a moment to talk about me. You'd think I ass raped her.... well.. or James did.
(jedi)
*she glances up and to Ewan as she was leaned back on him carefully. She pulled out her little cell and tapped out a text message and held it up for him to read*(deck)
to MULTIPLE: A grunt acknowledges Hyde's claiming of the kin. When Hyde first joined he'd had worries about the Metis overstepping his bounds, but the Godi had proved time and again he was a stalwart shield to the kin, no more. Too stalwart sometimes; like he wanted to protect every damn kin out there, though Fenris himself couldn't do that. But fuckit. There were far worse crimes than that.We'll talk ta Agnessa's brother later. Figger out why he's lettin' our best lead throw tantrums 'n refuse ta give up inf'mation.
(ewan)
*He reads and nods. His rur rippeling along the protruding bone. Raching up with one taloned hand to scrach around the bone plates on his chest. He agreed with his alpha*(ewan)
*He reads and nods. His rur rippeling along the protruding bone. Raching up with one taloned hand to scrach around the bone plates on his chest. He agreed with his alpha*(kemp)
to MULTIPLE: A mental snicker for that entertainment. Ass raped, he he he, he said ass rape. She must have his dick in a vice, that's why he lets her do this shit.(ack - whoops. *posts for Milo again)
Milo
When the time for those of his rank to speak finally comes, and past business has been addressed, Milo takes the bone with a polite nod to the Truthcatcher and steps forward. He's shifted back down into homid, so it's a thin, not too imposing looking, pale and dark-haired human form that steps forward to speak to the Sept.Words dribble out of his mouth, self-assured but not arrogant, though some might describe him otherwise. "I have spoken to others of my tribe who stand as a part of this Sept, and will assume the position of Elder Shadow Lord on the Council." His eyes drift across the gathered Garou, staying just a bit longer on the other Tribal Elders that will be his 'peers' should no unforeseeable obstacles crop up to impede him.
(jukebox)
this following bit of low laughter is a bit... darker... than his initial transmission
as if James would give a Lord kin that much of his attention and effortAsk Imogen... I was a pussycat. they can hear the smirk I didn't even get to growl at her.
(decker)
to MULTIPLE: Ain't nothin' funny 'bout rapin' a kin, Decker bristles. Sore spot.(tash)
He looks from garou to garou around the circle, gauging the reaction.. as always as when people speak, testing for truth as best he can, such as when people replied to Decker, then he nods.
It seemssss to be acceptedsss, issss moressss?
(kemp)
to MULTIPLE: Another mental shrug. Like he would ever rape some girl himself. Hell he avoided them as much as he could. Too much pain involved with them.(jukebox)
the Gnawer Elder doesn't cheer or veto the propositioned leadership
nothing more than a nod up acknowledging the matter all officially and shit
traditional Lord snipe met with traditional Gnawer Fuck You.
til proven otherwise, Milo back to neutral in his books(milo)
Milo shakes his head. He is finished. For now. And thus hands the bone back to the Truthcatcer.(tash)
He takes back the bone and walks it to Nelly Bell, nodding and smiling, offering it to her without a word from his.. friend.(nelly)
She took the bone from the Truthcatcher, stepping forward...Southern twanged voice carried for all to hear, "Gibbious Moons! Lets research these dark atrocities which the Fenris Elda speaks of. Perhaps something within history can be a key to the future..." a shrug of shoulders before they firmly squared.
"Ah, Nelly Bell Crenshaw, Murphy's Law to the Nation, gibbious moon of the Knights of Black Unicorn's Fury, Child of Vine, Talesinger of the Sept has answered the call for representation within the Council and motha to my local tribesmen. Tribal Elder of the Warders of Men I now am," she paused. Eyes gliding around to pick out the newest Roaches to the city. The hat which held all her hair up within tilted in a bow to each.Straightening, a hand brandished out as she stepped to the side, "Not long ago, Holly.. or Ricinus brought to our house a new found cub. His name is Justin Case, dubbed by Butta, 'Shit Happens' ... blood of the Children of Gaia hence claimed cub in training by the Knights of Black Unicorn's Fury. As such he is a pack hopeful and is under our protection, trained by his Tribal Elder Butta and his moon's mentor Tashana-Heca of the Uktena. Any others however who wish to impart their wisdom upon the Cub feel welcome to do so and we will honor any help that is given..." breath number two filled her lungs like two great balloons. Here came the long one...
(kemps)
to MULTIPLE: He had to look down and bite his tongue because well shit, having a snake around Tashnaheca's throat, just gave him the wrong mental image and each time it hissed, he just thought...dick..his dick is talking. Gonna die here, just gonna fuckin die.(nelly)
A breath..."I speak as the Voice of the Knights of Black Unicorn's Fury: One year ago we barred out doors... passage sought thru our shores denied. Access within restricted. We have enforced this doctrine for over a year. Yet here of recent we recall no bell chime, no rescind of our stance, no countermind of our desire to be left a peace and unchallenged. Yet, we are besiged by those whom heard out call to the Council a year ago. Perhaps by example, perhaps by remiss, perhaps by idiocracy - now newcomers to our Sept and city mock our legacy of pack territory brought down and weighed by our Nation.
"This will no longer be suffered without complete retaliation. In no short of words, we shall attack any found within our territory hailing without prior permissions. No questions will be asked. Should one so caught fall, our prayers for their soul will be heard. Mercy will not be shown. Quarter not given to anyone whom for no other reason to be there is simply there.
"Only ourselves, our kin the Squires, our friends and some certain elders posses these permissions allowing safe passage and entrance. All others are denied.
(aur/foxfire)
Riss perks up as Nelly starts speaking, and her glittering blue gaze settles on her Tribe's new Elder. That wide grin splits her lips as she listens, head tilted. Still chewing frantically.(kemp)
Frowning while listening. Hell it was hard to understand her sometimes. Was she saying no one was allowed to walk the streets, drive the streets or anything near their territory? A glance to his pack. So like do we all close our borders and fuckin kill anyone that comes near them? Is that what she just said they are doing?(justin)
He stands next to Butta and watches everyone and marks how they react to her proclamation. Saving it for later discussion with his mentors.(yu/hyde)
*Hyde looks down to Kemp. Speaking over the totem bond* That's what THEY are saying THEY will do yes.. but we're free to do what we like with our own territory.
*Ewan raises is brow points and one ear flickers amist the bone spurs. His pack were one of the few that had been told they were ok. He nods to Jedi*(leroy)
Upon Nelly's first invocation upon her assension to Tribal Elder; her claim, LeRoy made little expression. But his hand rose once more and as she spoke on, identifying the cub Justin. His finger extended in pointing direction. For all to see as he towered above his tribesmate. Proud like a father over a newborn heir. Obviously he favored the cub. Why? Remains to be known. But after the point, and whilst she continued to speak upon him, that hand fell upon Justin's shoulder and pushed him forwards. For all to see. Once her words began upon another topic..That hand had slipped upon the back of his neck and he jerked the cub back to his side again. Smiling brightly however, hovering his eyes over everyone as if proudly showing off what he had and they hadn't.(kemp)
Wait, ok this is confusing the fuck out of me. She just named most everyone I know as being allowed there. Or am I getting this completelyfuckinwrong?
(barny)
Mother's Riddle stands silent, still in the background, watching and waiting. Not a change in his expression through it all, just some emotionless mask.(jedi)
*she nods as well, after listening to Nell*(cliona)
A snort. She keeps her thoughts to herself though. And though she is on that list, it is unlikely she gives, as she'd say, A 'flyin fook.'(tash)
He takes the bone back and nods, eyes scanning the crowd, then takes position beside nelly, tucking it under his arm.
"I, Tashnaheca, Half Moon of the Uktenassss, soon bondedss to Knightsss of the Blacksss Unicornsss Furysss seesss the sept positionsss of Mastersss of Challengessss opensss, assss wellsss as truthcatherssss. I seekss to fillsss these'ssss positionssss." The snake speaks as he eyes the circle.(hyde)
to MULTIPLE: *Hyde grunts and flickers a thick finger at all the bunches of new garou and the 4 or 5 packs she didn't name* New folks I guess...(jukebox)
Nah. Just means that future calamity cropping up on their turf is wholly their responsibility until embossed invitations are hand-delivered to the cavalry. We're still.....
there's an absent wave of his nearing empty bottle towards Eagle's Godi
that's a good enough explanation of it for James's silence over the totem line
to each their own, and all that(virago/twilight)
Virago speaks up - raising her hand before the trutchcatcher can pass on the bone - quietly and succinctly, "While I appreciate the need for closed borders, Murphy's Law, I wonder at the wisdom of completely closing it so. Is freedom of passage to the caern still allowed for those not mentioned specifically? My understanding is that the Knights territory flanks the caern on two sides. That is correct, no?"(kemp)
A faint shake of his head and smile for Butta. He'd keep what little tiny bit of wisdom he might have for his own ears. The other kid didn't need the shit that ran through his head even when he slept. Then the snake spirit started that distracting hissing talk? Again and he had to bit his tongue and lower his head again.(yu)(
*Yu's ears twitch at Tash and he looks around to see if any others would speak. If not he stands showing indication to. Awating the bone on this as it might last more than a moment and direct answer.*(tash)
Tashnaheca nods to Yu Gan, then holds up a finger, and passes the bone a moment to Nelly to answer questions."One Momentss elderss Yu Gansss, for this to be addressesss, and will give you'ssss bonesss"
(yu)
*He waited patiently. Scenting the air. He figured the questions for Nelly would be answered first, but he didn't want the other point swept away in the floatsam and jetsum of the replys. A soft movment of tail accknoledges the words*(jedi)
*another quick message tapped out on her phone and held up for Ewan to read then cleared once he was done*(nelly)
She nodded to Virago, a hand on the bone, "A larger side yes. Of course passage thru our territory to achieve entrance to the Caern is allowed...we will not obstruct this. Only lingering in our territory... look, we got too much shit goin on raght now n too many folks stickin their nose where it dont belong. After a while it'll be ova 'n shit can lift again."(bambi)
Bambi is keenly listening, occasionally shifting by Riss' side, the rhythm sticks held loosely (but respectfully silent) in her hands. Not quite the bundle of energy that Calvin often proves to be, nevertheless there is a restlessness about her that the moot is only serving to increasingly bring out. To her recommendation, she is actually attempting to restrain it.At least it got some outlet in the stifled laughter that ran out of her mouth before she could snap the sound off, upon the announcement of what the Knight's had named the cub.
(virago)
Virago nods, smiling at Murphy's Law briefly in understanding, before letting gaze flick back to the truthcatcher.(nelly)
Lets go of the bone.(tash)
He takes back the bone gently from Nelly and holds it a moment, before walking it over to Yu Gan and offering it.(ewan)
*Ewan reads and grunts. Scraching at a forarm.(yu)
*Yu Gan takes the bone in his mouth and steps into the center of the circle. His fluid stride even more alien and supernatural in Lupus than in homid. Placing the bone on the ground he speaks in the language of wolves to Tash and the elders. Looking to each elder in turn*~WS~ I would oppose my tribal brother at this time taking these positions.
We do not know him well, for he is new to these lands nor does he know us and our ways. There are philodox here plenty. The open postions are not small and are in need of trusted known individuals. Individuals that have had time to interact with the peoples here. Know them. Know the sept the totem and Chicago.
While Philodox often hold these positions it isn't to be passed out casually to somone just appearing in our lands.
Also a master of the Challenge has need to be able to stop challenges with but a word. Mearly more than a thought should a garou go too far and risk endangering the nation by killing another.
Your wound prevents this my Tribe brother. Nor have we seen any indication of your decision making skills on any moderated challenges thus far. Franly you were born under the right moon, but past that we don't know if you CAN do these jobs.
For a time now, Philodox we KNOW and agree on have stepped into these positions.
When we know you, perhaps you can step up, but untill you've proven able to proform them, in... any way. I would say no.
I put it before the consel.
*Dippinghis nose scoops the bone and flips it gracefully though the air to the Grand elder to speak first. He'd pass it as needed.*
(leroy)
LeRoy steps forward. Indicating his desire once more to hold the bone and speak.(st)
(GE)
The Grand Elder arches a brow, slightly, and takes the bone. He rarely speaks. He prefers that things be dealt with on the council by the council. He is the end voice, but the Sept has proven themselves worthy of leading their peers well.That said. He lifts his chin toward YuGan. "You speak well, but make a mistake. The Master of the Challenge slot has been empty since vacated by the" What was their name again? "Fang. None has stepped up since then, Philodox or otherwise - though of the number of Philodox, all who are here would be new. If someone wishes to challenge for the position, so be it. If you do not challenge, stand down and allow another to do so." And he hands the bone back to Tashna. His piece said.
If the regulars could not be bothered, then perhaps new blood is exactly what is needed.
(damon's posse)
Decker lifts his head from his own ruminations over grass growing. Apparently once again choosing to ignore the game of toss-the-bone, he poses the question straight."'N who is you suggestin' ta take tha place instead, Fasttrack?"
Calvin is now well and truly restless. He gets up and starts shifting from foot to foot, hissing a whisper to Riss, "Man I can't sit still much longer!!! How much longer is this going to go on? Are we done yet? I bet I can surf Maelstrom, if I had a good enough board!"
Sevastian is still biding his time, waiting, watching with a small smile never far from his face.
Vašek Relentless-Foe has gone down to a full crouch now, forearms folded beneath his massive chest, crossed at the wrists; hindlegs sideways, the way wolves lay. He yawns, baring his curling tongue and all his white teeth. He shakes his head, the thick fur about his head ruffling and tossing, the necklace of skulls rattling and clonking hollowly about his neck. Resettles. Watches, his yellow eyes slitted.
(tash )
He moves up to the grand elder and nods
"I'sss can indeedsss stop a combatant in hissss tracksss, Eldersss"
He turns and glares at Yu Gan(yu)
*He looks from the GE to Decker, whom actually held higher rank* I'm saying it's better not to have the position filled. Should the only one to fill it be somone we don;t know is able or fair. We at this point do not know wich to be true.He's in this area less than a month, has not presided over any challge I've heard about... *A pause to see if the one behind him speaking though the snake would clarify that, still watching the Adren, respect given to the rank* If nothing else.. challenge should be given by the elder or elders to prove worth, before one takes such possitions. * A nod of his lupine head to Decker.*
(twilight)
Twilight Judgment, Philodox of the Shadow Lords gives indication to Tashnaheca that she would like to speak, on this subject.(leory)
"Psst.." A scowl given upon Calvin. But was it really a scowl for he? Perhaps not as LeRoy moved towards the other, his bid for the bone now seemingly ignored whilst some quarrel commenses he doesnt want any part of. But in his hand he carried something. Outstretched, he offers it to Calvin. Nothing muttered. It was a gameboy. The game on it however was probably of interest. As it was 'Get Laid', where one tries different approaches and chooses different lines to see how far one can get with a girl for the night. Perhaps Calvin wouldn't be so restless if he played a game and just ignored the rest. That scowl was replaced with a snicker. A nod towards Riss and he stood there palm open with the gameboy in offerance(tash)
He gestures to Twilight
Speakssss, floor is open on subject.(au/firefox0
Riss leans back, her attention riveted on the two speaking. Her Atlantic blue eyes darting back and forth. She doesn't break eye contact with the assembly but reaches a hand into her pocket, withdrawing a Gameboy and tossing it casually at her Packmate. Across the link to Calvin.Got a high score on that snowboarding game! Try and bea--
She breaks off, and peers up at LeRoy with a partially open mouth. Then blinks several times and a wide grin appears again. She beams at him and accepts the proffered toy with a nod and offers it likewise to Calvin. He could pick, and she'll give the other to Bambi. Snowboarding was more her style anyway.
(damon's)
Calvin lights right up like a christmas tree. "AWESOME!!!" Loud enough for everyone to hear, incidentally. But whatever glares he gets bounces right off. The scrawny Ahroun (is that a contradiction?) is fixated on the gameboy, diddling buttons like there was no tomorrow. Bambi will get the snowboard Gameboy.Decker grunts agreement with Fasttrack.
Vašek sits up as his packmate indicates she would like to speak. Beneath the jet pelt, his musculature rolls like waves in a black ocean. He shifts onto his hindlegs, still crouching, a handpaw splayed on the ground for balance. He knows what she'll say already. For all the indolence of a moment before, he is alert now, broodingly silent.
(kristpher st peters)
*Kris sits up in the rafters, his favorite perch for a Moot because you can see everything from above.He listens to the debateing going on between Tashna and Yu-Gan, listening to Tashna he commends his desire to do something for the Caern, hell if Kris wasn't a Corax he'd put in for the position of Truth Catcher...but he knows the reaction that, that would get.
Than turning his head to listen to Yu-Gan, he respects the man and his opinion and he's never had a reason to do otherwise. He also agrees with his point that the man is new and has not proven that he is capable or trustworthy of either position yet alone both of them*
(twilight)
"I am Natasha Kružíková, known as Twilight Judgment, half moon of the Shadow Lords and ranked cliath of the nation. I am new to this sept, with my brother and packmate, Vašek Kružíkov. He is known as Relentless-Foe and is crescent moon of our tribe. We are bound under the wisdom of Ourobouros." Her voice is low-pitched, quiet, yet it carries through to all at the moot, the introduction directed at the elders."Only some here know us, and I appreciate that it may not be well. I had refrained from challenging for any position that may be open to my auspice on that basis. However, perhaps it would be of some relief to Yu Gan-rhya if the two positions were not held by one not so known to the sept, but instead two." Her lips quirk in a dry amusement at her own statement, but it does not linger for long - gaze latching on the Truthcatcher.
"I challenge for the position of Master of Challenge."
(jukebox)
James tips a thoughtful nod as Yu Gan explains his concerns
contemplating his own conclusions during the time it takes to arrive at his turn
he can appreciate Tashna's confidence at stepping foward so green to the Sept
and while mistakes are made by all, he being the first to admit it after all
battlescar of his own would have denied Eldership had it been any worse than lingering slur
the soon-to-be-Knight has already proven his lack of familiarity for their ways before all those gathered tonight
and the raggedyman himself is wholly unfamliar with the Philodox to begin with
all too recent events in the Gnawer's story proving how detrimental such unfamiliarity can be"I share Fas'track's c'ncerns, s'well'az th' Gran' Elder's seni'men's in turn.... let who'ev'r challenge f'r it prove they c'n play wi' th' big dogs 'r stan' down 'r be taken down." muscular shoulders roll in a nonchalant shrug "New face'r ole hist'ry dunn matt'r.... I won' put a Garou in office 'less I c'n trus' they're able. Seems fair 'nuff."
(decker)
(decker)
Why don'tcha jus' speak Garoutongue, James, Decker suggests, wry. If even he had trouble deciphering his packmate's speech...(tash)
He looks to the Grand Elder, since there is no master of Challenge.(nelly)A hand pops up to cover Nelly's mouth. Biting then upon her finger softly to keep from showing grin or grimace.
(yu)
*Yu nods to the elders and others as they speak. Should the guy prove his ability, Yu too would accept him. When the shadow lord steps forward to lay challenge he nods. If NOTHING else. the challenge between them will show the sept BOTH their abilitys, and if they deserve it.Ragabash duty done. He bows his lupine head deeply to Decker. Then to the GE and steps back to his place.*
(justin)
He watches the going ons with eager eyes. Absorbing everything. Very glad he's not in Tashna's shoes but realizing that someday he will...For now, he just watches. Hoping the best for his future packmate.
(st)
He watches Yu Gan, as another takes up the Challenge. Which is exactly what challenging for position is intended to accomplish, see another not step up to lecture, but to stand up and challenge as well so that both can be proven.As the Ragabash sits, he turns his gaze to Natasha, then Tashna. "The challenge will be set and carried out before me after the Moot. Carry on." A flick of manicured hand bits the bone be passed on yet again.
(kemp)
Well his ass was well and truly numb by now. Knees drawn up, wrists laying over them as he sat there only half listening it seemed.(twilight)
Twilight Judgment inclines her dark head, the dark figure she cuts in the sober black she has chosen to wear, slight and disappearing next to her brother's dark pelt.(jukebox)
You honestly think it'd be any clearer? the reply is just as wry, really, even smirked Unless you're offering to step up as translator....
(justin)
He smiles to himself and thinks aloud softly, "Either way it goes, a Tash will be Master of Challenges"(vast)
Vast speaks up just loudly enough for his words to carry all the way to the Shadow Lord Philodox. "Make it bikini mud wrestling." And he grins, unrepentant.Surely he jests.
(leroy)
His brow quips, holding back his chuckled amusement at Calvin's interest in the sex game. He'd have to remind himself later to share his knowledge of those secret codes to make girls do well...certain things one oughta not look at in cartoon. As the council begins speaking upon their ideas, wishes and well challenges, LeRoy steps up to be heard."Listen folks. Who better than a Shadow Lord to find all the shiet we donnae think of to pass challenges? And whom better than an Uktena to tell if someone is of the wyrm and if they be lie'n? Me? I say..fuck the challenge..Tashna use those Gifts granted by his totem. A totem of wisdom and wyrm lore to be used in the position of Truthcatcher, whilst we let the seneschals of the Nation whom know betta than most how to manipulate and compromise to get what sneaky little thangs they want to be the Master of Challenge? Anyone agree? Miaght be easier and let us get on wit this if we just all think bout it. Each triabe just as each auspice has a certain nack for somethin.." shrugging "Why ignore it?..Ya'll know where I stand.."
(decker)
Maybe you kin borrow Annemarie's scribbleboard. Outwardly, the Modi is grim and silent as ever. There's a gleam in his eye, though.(nelly)
Both brows go up at Vast's request. Almost a 'here here' emotion playing across her face. Yet it fades as she relaxes to sit upon the ground and simply listen.A blink and she looked up to LeRoy's words... "here here," actually said outloud to that.
(twi)
Vast's remark gains Twilight Judgment's attention, but that is all. Perhaps that is enough, the coldness of her stare, the otherwise neutrality of her face, resting on him for just a moment, before her attention returns to whoever is speaking. Interesting how that look only modifies a fraction as it moves away.(am)
A slight brow lifts as she looks at her packmates in what passes as amusement for the Modi. "Get your own." The totem reply, with a smirk.(decker)
Decker frowns at Butta; the gleam is now gone. "Hell no. Sept positions ain't fruit fer tha pickin'. Cain't step up if you ain't worthy. Ain't worthy if ya don't challenge. Better we ain't got no Truthcatcher 'r Master'a Challenges than have shitty ones."(james)
You ever see my handwriting? maybe the Gnawer missed that gleam while tipping back another slug from his beer.... unless of course that was just to hide the appearance of lopsided smile for the sake of keeping up the proper demeanor up here on Council Way It's even worse than yours.(jedi)
((*smirks to TASH* I'm a HER, thank you))*the GW alpha took the bone and looked it over, waiting while last comments were said and done. Then her eyes swept across the gathered garou around her.*
My name is Rayne 'Electric Jedi', child of cockroach under the new moon and alpha of the new pack Obsidian Data under wireless bat. We have precured a small area of territory in the downtown area as well which can be easily found both here and umbrally and does not tread upon anyone's toes. Should our assistance be needed for anything, you need only ask.
*she pauses a moment, having listened to the earlier comments of the Uktenas and the elders, and decided what the hell*
Having heard the earlier argument laid down, I must tend to agree with our Grand Elder. None of the sept have stepped forward in months for certain positions. Perhaps there is reason, who is to say? Or maybe, just maybe, our Elder is correct in thinking new blood may be what's needed. So with this, I say now I would like to lay challenge for the Keeper of the Land position, and in doing so, take on tests from the elders to prove my worth, as you cannot take it on my word alone less one of the more senior garou of the city wish to finally step up and take it.
(virago)
Virago's own response to her packmate's unasked for contribution is the faintest flick of her eyebrow upwards. If her mouth quirks ever so slightly in amusement? Surely it must be any onlooker's imagination.(hyde)
*Hyde shoos off a persistant earth elemental in the shape of a large crab. He drew spirits like gnawers drew flys**Ewan, still in the bone incrusted crinos form behind Rayne nods to her words. Then scratches one of the spurrs at his elbo*
(leroy)
"Oh I agree..Silence-rhya. But thats the difference between yous and me. I'll let have a chance and a go at it..if they fail..then well...they aint no good now are they? But if they succeed? Whats the problem. Maybe tis jus me..but Im of the mind tae start trust'n in what Gaia deems us tae be. And the ability she gives each. I aint gotta quibble ova it too much. I aint gotta search it. If I did..well hell man..means I aint got tiame to m'own shiet I gots to. Im more lean'n to trust'n that Gaia 'as given em what they need, than believe'n I know betta than see and ave tae see"(nelly)
She turned to look upon Rayne. A blink of lashes as she pondered the possibilities. Yet a smile brandished her lips and she gave her a nod.(justin)
Whispers to Butta for another explanation.(decker)
"When they fail it's too fuckin' late," is Decker's final word on the subject. No matter if Butta replies or not, he won't say anything more. The moot has moved on.(hyde)
*Hyde puts it on Kemp. Let him deal with the thing.*(decker_)
...and if Kemp puts it on Decker they were gonna have crabspirit for dinner tonight.
(kemp)
Grumbles, flicking the thing back. "Man, I don't want to share your crabs."(tash)
He looks to Decker, then nods in agreement, it is better one's prowess is known and proven.(jedi)
*the vinyl coating her bosy creaked as she moved, twirling the bone in her hand as others continue to speak on other matters while she was talking, but a word isn't said, waiting for any who would step up, and a nod to Nelly having her aproval now*(hyde)
*Hyde takes the crab back and grunts sitting it on his shoulder and waits for the bone. Wincing heavily as it bites his ear for putting him on kemp.... Somedays it just doesn't pay to get out of bed*(tash)
He nods to the LADY (cough, sorry) Rayne
We have a challenge for keeper of the lands, anyone against, or wish to challenge for it?"(yu)
*Yu looks to the GE to see if a challenge would be layed before the Glasswalker too. His arguement had been heard and even accknowledged by the new girl.*(james wagner)
( When I say late like a period, I mean late like a period. Anyhow, I'm here. And I'm gonna just make something up on the fly. :P )The Sandman had been sitting silently, listening, more or less going along with the flow of things, sitting with the rest of the council of elders once things had gotten under way. He had found himself a nice milk crate to sit on, of all things, smoothing his goattee every so often and just all around listening. They generally went along with James' viewpoints when the challenges for Master of the Challenge and Truthcatcher came up, and the Grand Elder had final say over what happened with that to begin with. He didn't want 'em, so he just shrugged and more or less had a "toss a coin" attitude.
(decker)
Smirking as the crab clamps onto Hyde's ear, Nice earrings, Hyde. Did Imogen pick 'em out fer ya?
(Ileroy)
There is a long look at Jedi. Then back upon the other elders. Then once more upon Jedi. Head falling askew. He wondered if she perchance had the ability to speak with spirits. Since they dealt so much with those holding said title 'Keeper of the Land'. Interesting. What was she up to? He wondered while grinning towards her.(kemp_)
Boy was he getting confused with all the challenges. First no one, then the whole famn damily got on the kick. Snickering with a look towards Decker. Hyde has crabs, pass it on.
(hyde)
*Hyde just ignores the Modi. Vowing to send Buzz over by telling him Decker had some batteris in his underwear... after decker went to sleep tonight. *
*A smack up side the head to Kemp then and warning growl*(kris0
*Kris stands up in the rafters, slowly shifting into Corvid form and flys down to the gathering than shifting again into Homid, waiting and listening to the debates. He will wait untill they have decided about the Master of Challange before he speaks up in decission for the position of Truth Catcher*(kemp)
Rolling on his back with a fit of laughter. "Hey man, spoke the truth."(hyde)
*His voice quiet not to intrrupt the serious matters going on* I hate you all....... *Clearly he didn't but as the Godi he HAD to play nice with the spirits.*(am)
(AnneMarie)
That even gets her lips to twitch. Amused.
(kemp)
The girly like comment just made his eyes water up as the laughter shook his body. Starting to hurt from it.(kris)
*Kris watches Rayne jesturing to her that when she is finnished that he would like the bone*(GE)
He levels a gaze on Yu Gan, meeting it and matching it as the silence lingers. When it seems none would step up to challenge another new Garou from taking a position, he flicks a gaze toward Jedi and nods. "Challenge accepted - dealt with after the moot." to Tashna. "continue."[cont'd next scene]
