Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 12:01:39 AM)
*Cosette had done just what she said she was going to do with her evening. Once it had cooled off and before it got far too dark she had taken off for a ride with Persephone and taken her crossbow with her. Just now was she walking back across the Estate grounds, dressed in a pair of jeans and a form fitting black t-shirt. It may have been simple but every article of clothing she had on was designer. She was still carrying with her the crossbow trying to detach the scope as she walked alone. Every once in a while she would duck if she thought a bat friend was swooping too low*
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:01:54 AM)
*Lucian walks into the living room, stretching. His long hair is disheveled, and his eyes are still heavy. He sees Steven looking through the bridal magazine and snickers under his breath, before sitting down on the couch and checking out what the television is saying.*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:04:34 AM)
There was a knock a thte door, when it was answer it would walk Yuri dressed in a pair of black slacks white shirt w/ the sleeves rolled up and creased at his elbows. black vest and a thin black tie, and a pair of balck socks and black leather boots. He nodded to those present and sat down.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:05:40 AM)
*he heard lucian's snicker and knew at once it was about the magazine. He went and stashed it in the pocket of the recliner* Never you mind that any. *he heard the knocking on the door and went to see who it was.* Hey Yuri, how's it been going?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:07:08 AM)
"It has been going well." The sly slavic accent came out in an almost purr. He smiled his white teeth seeming very pleased.
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:07:57 AM)
*Lucian laughs at Steven's reaction, then grabs the remote and begins channel surfing.* "What brings you about, Yuri?" Lucian calls out, after Steven answers the door.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:09:28 AM)
"I was not aware I need a reason to visit the only others in teh city who are hated and reviled as much as myself." He smiled an almost vulpine smile.
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 12:09:30 AM)
*The redhead kin may have been a girly girl, but she clearly enjoyed spending a few hours outdoors. She as always taking the long scenic route, tonight was no different. Even with the Warder tightening his grip on the kinfolk because of some threat she had never felt safer or more bless by Grand Father Thunder than in the past week. *
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:10:57 AM)
Well come on in. Im sorry we don't have any refreshments prepared, but Im sure I can scrounge up something. *he smiled and held the door open for the russian*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:13:33 AM)
Yuri entered and stood, His bearing was much still taht of a pure breed, if one knew what they were lookign for to distiguish the tribe, Yuri would be an almost perfect specimen. "I have just eaten, but I thank you. Perahps something to drink?"
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:16:41 AM)
*Lucian remained in the living room, trying to find something entertaining to watch, idoling scratching his arm.*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:21:50 AM)
"I went to the sept last evening to introduce myself to one of the elders. It would seem they are quite excited about the finding of three spears. They are the key to binding a rather particularly nasty bane who excaped his prison a week agao. They have in thier possession one of the spears and have a good clue as to where the other two are. I have been invited by the Alpha of the Tmmyknocker pack to join them on their hunt for the second spear this sunday... provided I am checked out by the Wyrmfoe or the thruthseeker. I can only see this as an opportunity to find out more about this bane, and these mystic fetishes."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:24:04 AM)
*Lucian muted the television and turned towards Yuri, interested in this new development.* "It sounds as if they're willing to give you a chance to prove yourself useful to the sept. What has our Tribal Elder said of this?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:24:33 AM)
*he nods* I think Cosette drank the rest of your Vodka, but I have some bourbon around usually.. Give me a sec to find it. *he went into the kitchen to the bar and partially filled the glass with some bourbon.* Yeah, I helped Talisman Seeker on such a search for the information of the spears. I haven't met the Tribal Elder yet.
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 12:26:35 AM)
*Once she reached the Estate's door she stood there for a moment considering staying out a while longer. It was warm outside with a gentle breeze and the nearly full moon shown down on the grounds beautifully shedding light on the estate in way that gave it haunting feeling. Irene would loved to have been here. Then again she was more than likely off some place playing with her bats. Reluctantly, she reached out turning the door knob slowly deciding her fate to return to the indoors. *
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:28:30 AM)
"I have not yet met them, but I can only imagine that they would see it as I have... an opportunity." Yet another fox-like grin crossed Yuri's face. "I feel I must keep on my gaurd tho, shoudl things go badly... this would be a very opportune time for them to have to worry about one less Shadow Lord. Perhaps when i speek with Bloody Mary again I will request that others of my tribe come with me to help fill the ranks so that thier pack is not so short-handed."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:30:09 AM)
*Lucian nods thoughtfully* "I would be willing to accompany you, should the pack allow it. This is not an opportunity we can allow to go to waste."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:31:38 AM)
*Steven wasn't so certian. he's dealt with the other tribes both here and elsewhere* I suppose just making a pack of our tribe isn't out of the question. I'd hate to want to put in an immage that we need a babysitter to function.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:32:41 AM)
"Agreed. Another Theurge would be most welcome... Though I can only assume, we may need more muscle... unless you are trained in teh arts of combat."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:33:50 AM)
*Laughing, Lucian shakes his head* "No, I am about as skilled in combat as a child is. Perhaps we can find a Lord Ahroun around the area. Steven, do you know of one?"
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:35:00 AM)
"Ah but an Elder gives us validation... it will give us an edge on the council, and less likelhood that an upstart woudl dare question our rites of accomplishment." Yuri smiles at Lucian. "Yes a loyal Ahroun would serve our purposes nicely."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:35:03 AM)
apart from Uriah, no.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:35:45 AM)
Just what we need then... a simple minded meat shield to protect our scrawny asses.*he laughed*
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:36:33 AM)
"I don't think I've met Uriah. So long as he's willing to follow orders though, he'll be fine."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:39:46 AM)
*he chuckles again* Well I only met him once... he didn't seem to thrilled when I made the alternate suggestion to the warder's decree. Quite the opposite actually.. I doubt he's seen the other tribes playing freeze tag out in the bawn at that point. *he kept chuckling* Well if he's not willing to follow orders, Im sure he can be forced into submission.. It's the way of our tribe after all.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:40:03 AM)
"Nor have I, tho... we must always treat teh Ahroun with a gentle touch it is easier to lead them with a soft hand and a kind word than it is with a prod and whip... you risk having a powerful ally turn on you. Mother Luna gifted them with her rage and a powerful gift it is, but like a bomb... all it takes is a spark."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:42:23 AM)
*Lucian nods in agreement.* "Still, the idea of him taking off on his own due to the same Rage is a frightening thought. As long as he can follow guidance, he will be a welcome addition."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:43:36 AM)
Yuri sipped at his whiskey and considered things."He is a Lord amongst other tribes... i have a feeling he will act the consumate professional, but it is best we think of ways to keep his attention focused."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:45:53 AM)
Every one of our tribe knows it's Gaia first, the tribe second.. if we have time left over, we'll see about helping the rest of the tribes.
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:46:48 AM)
"He should be able to focus. This mission is not one to be taken lightly."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 12:47:33 AM)
*A un loaded crossbow clad kinfolk stepped into the living room, turning her head to the sound of voices within the estate. She had not seen any cars parked out front but then again she was not looking. She kept herself quite. She needed no introduction, besides it sounded like business as usual. *
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:48:07 AM)
"The Third spear is located in the city somewhere. If the three of us are even permitted to go with the Tommyknockers I think that those that do not, should concentrate thier efforts on searching the city and the umbra for any and all information they can about the wearabouts of the 3rd spear, da?"
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:49:52 AM)
"If we can find the 3rd... tehn we have a powerful tool to use in nteh binding of this greater bane... and they will have to recognize our part in this endevor."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:50:26 AM)
"I agree. Locating these spears are our first priority. Should I be unable to attend the hunt for the second spear, all of my efforts will be spent discovering the location of the third one."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:56:23 AM)
*he nods though his personal focuses were elsewhere.. For all he though, those retards at shared blood would go and fuck shit up again, and blame it on his own tribe yet again* I dunno.. help them sure... but make sure not to get in the crossfire of their own shots.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 12:56:45 AM)
"I refuse to stand ideally by and watch them fornicate with kin and drink beer and still retain all the glory for protecting The earth mother... No.. I will not stand for this.Not while there is still the blood of the most noble of linages in in my veins. We must find the 3rd spear and claim it before the others. If at all possible when we find the second spear we will claim this one as well... for it's protection, of courrse."
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:57:36 AM)
"Naturally. Nobody would ever expect us to do it for any other reason." Lucian grins, his feral nature finally breaking through in that moment.
Lucian Grevioux (Jul 23, 2010 12:58:03 AM)
(I gotta jet guys, early day tomorrow. "Twas fun, hopefully I can jump on tomorrow sometime.)

Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 12:59:24 AM)
Problem is, we aint got no choice but to stand around and watch it. Help them snag up them spears and get focused on our own problems.
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:00:15 AM)
*She thought she heard someone on a tangent. Of course she did not know what they were talking about for the most part. Not wanting to miss anything she quickly put away her weapon in one of the rooms that housed a large metal gun safe that she used to store you guessed it her archery stuff*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:00:17 AM)
and that's why could give a shit less about them fuck-holes. *he didnt know cosette was in the room so his language filter was in off mode*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:01:31 AM)
We got our job to do, and they got theirs to do. And it aint our problem if they are to busy screwing their kin to actually get our work done.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:02:03 AM)
"Agreed..."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:03:13 AM)
*It was not too long before she was back down stair's but instead of letting her presenence be know she sat down on the bottom steps, keeping to herself and listening in on the conversation. She was not hiding per say but she was not making any effort to get noticed either*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:08:40 AM)
And well, that's just how i feel about the whole damned shared blood situation. Why i been telling the rest of the tribe we just might as well start over and make our own damn sept.. They already done fucked up the one in the swamp.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:11:34 AM)
Yuri nodded his head. "I see...but it is still a place of power, and needs no be guarded."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:11:51 AM)
*Did she just her what she thought she heard? Her ears could not have been more happy, and her poker face had certainly failed her as well. A wide proud grin spread on to her lips. She knew she had smart and capable mate but his recent words had put her over the moon.*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:16:21 AM)
Yeah... well there's enough damn garou there to keep it guarded.. Once our's gains power, then we'll move back in.. Probably not in our time, but maybe when we have kids. Might as well make visits there occasionally and try to clean up their shit before they defile the place.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:20:16 AM)
"Thier totem's innsolence to Grandfather Thunder will not go unnoticed. Grandfather has a long memory and a horrible wrath. But I do believe we should give them a chance to make amends for how they have treated us, But I am willign to be benevolent tword them, and let them see the errors of their ways."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:22:31 AM)
"This way we can say, we gave and we gave to the sept and for our effortwe were given ashes in our mouths. They will have no choice but to conceed to our own sept after we break all tie with thier ."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:22:44 AM)
'We will make their Elders see it this way.'
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:23:47 AM)
and that's been my point for so long.. It's a waste of time and energy to kiss their asses with our tails between our legs. Hoping they will give us a chance.. Fuck that noise.. If they ask us to do something, and we got time for it... then we might do it. But priorities are priorities.. and I know damn well if I asked for something in return, they'll just tell me where to stick it.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:25:16 AM)
"Why should we kiss thier asses... we will do thier jobs for them and do it better, if they cannot recognize this... tehn it is time for us to call thier pride as their weakness and excile ourselves for their business, permently."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:27:43 AM)
*Although no one was likely to see it she nodded in agreement with Steven. Her smile had turned into a frown as she thought about how her tribe had been treated at Shared Blood. They deserved better. There was no need to let them make amends, Shared Blood would never do that. She doubted the sept even gave a shit if they left and made their own.*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:30:40 AM)
*he chuckled a bit* Well thats how Uriah seemed to want to do things.. Kiss ass and take a big one in the rump.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:33:47 AM)
"Besides they have resources at their disposal that we coudl be privy too, Yes they treat us like dogs, but they still ask for our help... they know the might of the Shadow lords, they know in thier blood that we can accomplish more than they ever could, it is why they come to us, it is why through gritted teeth tehy will listen to us, it is why when thing need to be accomplished they turn to us, because we get the job done, while they party and laugh and fornicate with their kin, we plot and scheme and stalk teh edges of the world searchign for the secrets to drive the wym back into it's pit. It is who we are, and I will not let them take that from us, i will not let them have us turn our backs on us and be rid of us, I want the Lords to haunt their footsteps and thier dreams, we will be their fighting the fight beside them, but we will do it better, faster, and cleaner thean they, and we will not comprimise, we will not shed a tear, we will shed blood." Yuris eyes were turnign from green to an almost grey g
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:35:23 AM)
green like the sea before a storm, and you could swear you saw lightening flash in those eyes as he spoke with passion and guile. "They will alwasy need us more than we will ever need them... this is why we lead, to show them this."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:40:18 AM)
*he nodded* Well it's really our call to choose what we want. They turned their backs to us, it's only proper we do the same to them. I been more than willing to help them out here and there.. But I do have better things to do beside watch them suck down lemonade and munch on cookies.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:43:23 AM)
(new lord being sanctioned)
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:44:34 AM)
As Lords we are unforgiving, quick and efficient. Why try to fix something that is clearly broken and flawed when with the same or less amount of effort we could make our own? *She asked speaking for the first time, revealing her location where she sat on the stairs*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:44:35 AM)
"How can we lead them if we are not apart of them, how can e dominate them if they think of us as weak and cowardly, like a child who is picked on takes his toys and goes home? They will respect us more if we spit in thier eye and do show them how pathetic tehy are. You want to show dominence over them, then quit acting like a spoiled child and dominate them. It is our way, we have never run from an obstacle... we out think it and prove to that obstcle that we are better than it. Saying to hell with them, and runnign naway is not the way of A Shadow Lord, you know this."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:46:45 AM)
My Lord, it is not picking up your toy and going home when you cut your losses. Need you be remined that no Lord stepped foot in that sept for hundreds of years? We are only there now as visitors and being begruded at that.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:47:06 AM)
"The easiest road is rarely the most rewarding... because it is the easier road.. tehre is no glory or honor, nor wisdom in easy. Life and war is hard. It will always be hard, spirits respect those who overcome."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:48:55 AM)
You may be looking for rewards, but Vincent and I are looking for results.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:52:44 AM)
Running away hell... The real question, are we the child that is upset at his friends and being stuborn and immature? Or are we the child that's simply not wanted and unwelcomed thrown away to the trash?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:53:37 AM)
"Results are the rewards. You want to annex us from tehm, and have no Shadow Lord be let back on that sept for hundreds more years, fine. You will tell the story about how you stood up to them because they were unfair, they will tell the story about how teh Shadow Lords gave up so easy because we had our feelings hurt and went to make our own Sept. With that many tribes? Who's story do you think with be passed own and remebered? How do you think other Lords will see it? I am From the Mother Land of our blood, There is Cossack and Mongul blood flowing in my veins... we took back that which was taken from mus, we did not let anyoen walk away from that."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:57:02 AM)
If you want to teach them a lesson this is how it is done. You make them need us to the point they open wide their arms in acceptence of us and freely as us to join the sept again... then you refuse them and their totem and go form a sept of Our own. That is how you dominate them. You make them need you so much that they will doing anything for you, then you refuse to join them."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 1:58:14 AM)
*She looked at Yuri a bit funny, then got up to get herself something to drink*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 1:59:09 AM)
"That is the Shadow Lord way to turn your back on those that have wronged you." Yuri took a sip of his bourbon.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 1:59:51 AM)
Think of the tactics though.. we have no official home.. The Truthcatcher himself decreed us nothing more than visitors. Waltzing right in with demanding this and that would be fool hardy. I never once say not to help them out.. I only said don't do it if it interferes with our own plans. So far it's not a problem.. But we need a clear and definite plan laid out. We aren't a bunch of glasswalkers that simply change our views when ever it's favorable.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 2:04:33 AM)
"Nor did I say i would walk in and demand anything. But in order to dominate them you must make them need you, they need us. They just believe they don't. We must show them. And I never said we would help them at any cost to us. They have not earned that right and they never will. I think you misunderstand a lot of what i am saying. The sept is a usful tool, nothing more... we do not need the tool to be an effective force of righteous anger for Gaia, but a tool is useless without a will to put the tool to use."

Likewise there's no reason to not go ahead with my plan. Make a sept of our own. Incase the stuborn elders of Shared blood don't really care for our own plotting. It's better than running around all anruth like we have been.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 2:16:30 AM)
unless it's such an offence to gaia to offer HER such a sacred place.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 2:19:55 AM)
"And what scared place did you have in mind for seting up this sept? I assume you have done scouting for this both in and out of the Umbra. Gaia has many such hidden places and Grandfather Thunder and made quite a few more since he visited New Orleans last."
Cosette Alder (Jul 23, 2010 2:21:00 AM)
*She came back with a bottle of water in her hand. Smirking slightly but not bothering to interrupt the Lords conversation with a good night she leaned over placing a light kiss on Steven's cheek as she passed by. She continued on up the stairs and towards her bedroom, letting her gestures speak for her*

"You say often that you do not want to lead, yet you have never waveredd from your thoguht of forming a new sept for the tribe. You have tunnel vision. You are so focused on what you want you do not see the larger picture. I say to you it is a noble endevour to give us as a tribe a place of our own, to fight for it with such passion, but do you not think others are not watchign us , waiting for us to do that. To create a sept of our own away from the fortified and protected areas of the established Sept. The wyrm is mighty and it's spys will feel the ebb and flow of Gaia's power as much as anyone connected to her. We are very few... we need to call all the Shadow Lords together, We don't even know how many there are... only then can we rationaly make a decision on if we have enough resources at our desposal to even begin to think about opening such a sacred place without proper defensive messures to protect that which we have rightfuly claimed. If we do not consider this... we may as well just give it to th

Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 2:53:18 AM)
It is my suggesion that we first form packs, tehn claim totems. Find the spears, Kill the bane. Then find a home for our tribe.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 2:53:31 AM)
it's quite understood.. You think a cunning hidden-moon haven't thought of such a thing? I don't get you man.. a few days ago you were all over this plan.. Now you are shying away from it like it's the worst idea you ever heard. I could go to shared blood right now... find easly a dozen garou to help without breaking a sweat.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 2:55:51 AM)
I never made no claim to be a leader, but I stick with my plans.. It's only our nature.. to abort such things is admiting failure. That I don't do.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 2:58:28 AM)
I know they are watching us.. I could give two shits less what they see.... If they see us making our own home so be it, Id figure they'd probably encourage us from getting the fuck out of shared blood.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 3:00:57 AM)
why do you think this trip for europe is planned.. So I can fuck my mate while you video tape? Trying to get some Lords to help us with such an endevor. You think a bunch of green ass barely cliath garou are gonna pull this shit off?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:05:21 AM)
"I think before I act... yes, I admit I was excited about having our own home, and I feel it is somethign Grandfather Thunder is leading us to do, but there are many , many varibles in mour way. We must find the right path in which to walk to make this a victory. I am not walking away from this idea, I never have, not for a moment, my conviction to the tribe is unquestionable. I ask that you not give up and throw them away, but you must see all things both past , present, and future.. you must plan for them. " He paused to take a drink and think a moment. "I did not mean Shared Blood woudl be watching us. There are fera in these swamps of this I am certain...a dn they woudl be powerful Allies if we can convince them we are a better choice than Shared Blood. The Wryms agents will be watchign us as well, waiting to strike... we must think on this... What sacred places have been claimed which ones have not... are there fera nearby protectiong them, will they feel threatened by us? And as for the Lords of Europe,
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:09:23 AM)
They may help, they may not... tehy will more than likely set us with the task of doing it ourselves to see if we are worthy of the support. What are prepared to offer them for their support in getting us started on our own Sept? What are you willing to trade to see it happen? Will it be enought? How will what we do further the plans of other Lords? Have you thought of this?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 3:12:56 AM)
So lets run around as septless garou for another 10 years.. while all our peers make it to Adren or Athro while we are chasing down some freekin near extinct fera that would probably shred us to pieces if given half a chance. And again, we are still to shit green to be even thinking about most this shit.. If I weren't thinking on a straight line, and 10 steps ahead, them damn Uktena would probably already had your soul half collected. Think about that one for a while when I told you I was already assaulted at Shared Blood myself. And you just want to walk in and tell them to forget everything our tribe done in the past while sucking off the warder and grand elder. There's way to many enemies all around like you said, and without a solid place to call home, unified as a tribe, we might as well hand them a silver dagger and stand still while we let them strike true.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:20:40 AM)
Yuri nodded. "I see... so you do not listen to my words." He said evenly and clamly as he had been since he had studied the man. His posture was relaxed yet still high born. "I merely ask you questions, and you infer my meanings behind them. You take my words.. twist them and then proceed to insult me while asking for my help." his tone was still calm, even, and confident. he arched an eyebrow at Steven and pursed his lips and nodded. "Most of what youi have just said to me is completely false and in no way what my convictions are." He breathed a sigh and took another sip of the dark amber liquid in his glass.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 3:25:28 AM)
My words false? *he chuckled and laid on the sarcasm extremly* So you are already Fostern then, you managed to defeat the stigma our tribe has had for generations. you have allies with the fera our ansestors nearly exterminated, you already have a stable home for the tribe, and you have already defeated any possible enemy. My apologies for hearing your anouncement incorectly.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:34:54 AM)
"See again you do not listen...." He shook his head. "I said waht have have just...just said to me.. about walking into the sept and tellign them words of forgiveness, and spending time in the swamp searching for some anchient fera... I merely asked if you had thought of such things, if you had plans for these events. You could have simply said yes, I have considered them and I working around them. I would have nodded and agreed with you, but it is curious to me why you assume that insulting me and speaking in sarcasm will further your own goals. I understand many things and I have understood all of your points, but I fear you do not understand mine." Yuri looked thoughtfully into his glass and drained the rest of it.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 3:43:29 AM)
I have heard your words and listened to them. I've told you my honest thoughts on them using reason and intelligence. They are fine and dandy plans, noble causes none-the-less. Infact I've agreed with them completely as I have told you so. Then I tell you to be aware of the sept, because they aren't the type to take you seriously especially of your tribe and heritage. I warn you that they will make you omega faster than you can blink an eye, I warn you of their own actions against myself, and other tribe mates. I've offered you a place to eat and rest in the house of my own mate. And you accuse me of twisting your words intentionally when I speak simple fact. You accuse me of making insults when i have up until reciently shown you nothing but hospitality until i was accused. I listened to you shoot down my own plans, reasonable and honest plans that i said myself were near impossible.without the aid of others. So what ever theurge trickery you are up to, it won't work on me.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:56:15 AM)
"Never did I say I would prostrate myself infront of the Shared Blood and beg forgiveness for our tribe, appologies are weak, and meaningless. I know the sept does not trust us, I know they have no love for our kind, nor do they want us anywhere around them. I know I have seen how they act toword me. I have heard you speak of the treachery of the Unktena. I would never in any respect give them the satisfaction of asking to join their sept, But they are a tool to be exploited, and used for their knowledge for our own ends. I have thanked you and your mate for your hospitality. And yes you have twisted my words to throw back in my face when you do not understand the meaning behind them, English is my second language, unlike you I do not always speak it plainly. And on the matter of shooting down your plans... no..." he shakes his head."I have agreed with you, but i have voiced my concerns, things to which you have clearly thought of, but not vopiced to the rest of us, so I ask questions to see if you have thoug
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 3:58:00 AM)
Thought of the same obsticles as i have and to see if you have prepared for them, as I would.. "He paused rolling the glass inbetween his plams, as a slow smile creeped across his face. "You believe I attempt to trick you?" He held up an index finger and moved it up and down. 'I liek that..."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:04:15 AM)
I simply said I work 10 steps ahead of everyone else. That way my strategies can be improvised and addapted. As for the elders of our tribe. I know there would be many with thoughts of power to advance in their own game. As I believe with this tribal elder who remains so secretive from the rest of us. However such wishes for power can be easily harnessed and put to use. It only takes a bit of careful strategy to find the right one.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:10:46 AM)
"Yes. So when I ask questions of you, it is not to shoot down your plans, but so that you may improve them should the occasion arrise, da?" He motioned to his glass. "May I?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:12:27 AM)
*he nods and gets the bottle he got out.* Not the smartest thing to do you know... Question a ragabash.. you'll take all the fun out of his job. *he chuckles, pours himself another glass and brings the bottle over to him*
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:13:19 AM)
Yuri pours himself another glass. "But if I don't... who will?" He offered back a good natured smile.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:13:47 AM)
Perhaps another ragabash.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:14:29 AM)
"Perhaps... only Grandfather thunder knows."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:17:13 AM)
"I had a thought... about where to place the Sept... Grandfather Thunder sent a great storm that almost wiped this city from the face of the world.... we should find the place that saw the greatest of his might and make that the sept... most of the building s are abandond and woudl be cheap to purchase and make them into whatever we wanted." Yuri offered another small smile.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:19:48 AM)
Why not here? The estate is already owned, it's far enough away from the eyes of humans, and it's quite large enough for quite a few.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:20:06 AM)
(Cosette has somewhere near 20 acres here)
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:22:48 AM)
He nodded and sipped at his whiskey. "Yes, but we need to find a place of power that we can use to house the totem of the sept, would you not agree?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:23:36 AM)
*he shrugged.. * Im no theurge.. but Im srue we can figure soemthing out.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:24:40 AM)
"Perhaps a tree that has been struck by lightening. "
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:25:05 AM)
Maybe, there's a woods out back.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:26:07 AM)
"Or even an old voodoo shrine..."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:26:38 AM)
plenty of them around here. Im sure Irene has called on quite a few of her bat friends by now.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:26:48 AM)
Lots of options available.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:27:01 AM)
and it's a realistic plan
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:27:07 AM)
"Indeed." Yuri sipped at his whiskey, thinking
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:29:45 AM)
"First... I will need to walk the umbra around, chat with teh spirits see if I can keep them quiet about our plans. I do not want anyone finding out abotu this before we have everything in place."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:30:10 AM)
It will be some time anyhow..
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:30:37 AM)
we'll take a look around and see what we can find. Might be something out there we can use.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:31:16 AM)
"I know it will... tehre is much I need to learn before I am ready for the task of openign a caern."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:32:00 AM)
"Yes, but first the spears, then in our free time we can look for the palce of power."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:32:19 AM)
Have you even heard what them spears are for?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:33:02 AM)
"They are used to bind a great bane that has been freed."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:33:16 AM)
is that what they told you?
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:33:24 AM)
*he chuckles*
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:33:44 AM)
or did you ask the spirits on this?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:33:56 AM)
He arched an eyebrow. "You know differently/'
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:34:06 AM)
I was there when they found out the information.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:34:36 AM)
"Well... tell me."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:36:13 AM)
It's little more than a legend about a bowl that that Uktena ragabash, Talisman-Seeker, is hunting to add to her own fame. Some legend about one of their tribe sealing up some bane a long time ago. She's nothing but a fortune hunter. Little else.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:36:39 AM)
the bane that was found was already taken care of.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:36:55 AM)
Now they just want the spears to add to their own fame.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:37:04 AM)
"Then it woudl not hurt for us to possess one of these spears for ourselves."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:37:29 AM)
Feel free.. if you can convince them to hand it over.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:37:39 AM)
Or perhaps we find it ourself.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:37:55 AM)
He smiled. "Now you see where i am going with this."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:38:11 AM)
*he nods* And where is this spear?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:39:28 AM)
"One is located in the city, another in teh swamps behind the sept, and one is in possession of the Uktena at the sept."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:39:57 AM)
so what do we do now?
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:40:05 AM)
Which one to track down?
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 4:41:10 AM)
(This user has entered Cosette's home) (IP = 222.154.1.47)
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:41:53 AM)
(you missed the fun Irene)
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:42:06 AM)
I still say it's a waste of time...
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:42:16 AM)
"Well, I was invited to come along with the Tommyknockers on their hunt for the one in teh swamp.. I'm sure I could ask to bring along others... just to fill out the ranks." He smiled a knowing smile. "I say we go for the one in the city, ourselves."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:42:35 AM)
hmm
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:43:03 AM)
while they hunt the one in the swamp. I say we go after the city.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:43:03 AM)
""But is it a wastes of time to kill an Achient freed Bane? or bind it back to it's prison?"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:43:30 AM)
I say it's nothing more than Uktena mumbo jumbo..
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 4:43:31 AM)
Coming down, looking a little grouchy, she heads straight for the kitchen and moments later the kettle is going. Ahh, so thats why the grouchy, she needs her caffeine fix.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:44:59 AM)
"I was thinking the same, but if we go with them in teh swamp we have a chance to possess them both. A chance... but we can certainly go after the one in the city, once we find it."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:45:18 AM)
So it's like this..
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:45:32 AM)
We get ahold of one.. we are fine
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:45:48 AM)
"Plus I would like to see what kind of spirits frequents the location of the spear, so we may know what to look for on our own journey."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:45:57 AM)
"Yes."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:46:10 AM)
If it's nothing more than some mumbo jumbo, we got ourselves a nice mantle piece.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:46:48 AM)
If there is by some chance a big nasty bane... we have the spear, and it will be them kissing our asses.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:47:07 AM)
"You see now my plan."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:47:24 AM)
no need for hunting 2 spears though
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:47:58 AM)
While one in the swamp is being searched for. We snatch the other one from under their noses.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:48:16 AM)
"No, you are right, but I would like to know what I am lookign for.And shoudl they find it and cannot claim it... we may go back to claim it later.""
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 4:49:09 AM)
Coming around with an extrasized cup in hand, Irene leans against the doorframe, vaguely listening to them as she blows at her coffee. Weird spears, uktena stuff and mojo jojo. Time for the powerpuff girls.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:49:12 AM)
"Purhaps I am being greedy... I see your point. We will concentrate our effort on jst the one unknown spear."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:50:52 AM)
*he nods* Im sure we have time to dig up information on this one.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:51:16 AM)
Besides... if a bane is freed, we already know about it by now.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:54:13 AM)
Yuri nodded and looked to Irene and inclined his head to her in a greeting. "Beside with Lucien and myself speaking with the city spirits or if we are lucky possibly even a Storm Crow... We should be able to find it without issue."
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 4:55:14 AM)
Moving to take a sip of her coffee, she lets out a faint sigh before a bemused touch at the two talking. Hell if shes going to intrude on what seems like "important garou stuff".
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:55:36 AM)
and if they find out about such things? Are you willing to risk such issues?
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:58:03 AM)
"We are doing the will of Gaia, no one will fault us for that. And it's not our fault that one of their packs told me about it and we decided to take the initiative and find it for ourselves."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 4:58:40 AM)
"Who better to gaurd it than we/"
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 4:59:11 AM)
*he shrugged* (you know the STs will never let this happen right?)
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:00:19 AM)
( Does it really matter... teh point is we've interjected ourseles into the storyline wheather they like it or not, and a creative ST will see it as good plot, not a hinderance)
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:00:57 AM)
(write it up, i'll get my ass chewed out by Ghostlin for this stuff.)
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:00:59 AM)
( If they didn't want us going for it tehy shoudln't have let us find out abotu it)
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:03:57 AM)
After a few moments of sipping her coffee, Irene moves to leave the two to it, heading out for the back door, opening it and settling down upon the threshhold, looking out into the near dawn, feeling the new day approaching.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:09:23 AM)
Yuri sipped at his bourbon quietly, thinking once again.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:10:42 AM)
well, you're more than welcome to go find it. I have my kin to look after. I have a wedding to plan. Last thing I need is go on some scavenger hunt for some uktena junk.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:14:27 AM)
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke.” Yuri sipped at his whiskey again with a far off look to his emerald eyes.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:16:59 AM)
Do nothing? Hardly.. It really doesn't matter if you find it or not.. Im pretty sure the other tribes will get it.. Weither they beat you to it, or weither they pry it from your cold dead fingers. *he shrugs* I myself, I'll stick to plans that won't further persecute myself or my tribe.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:18:22 AM)
Yuri shook himself from his reverie. "I'm sorry... I was someplace else. You were saying?" He looked over to Steven.
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:19:32 AM)
From the doorway, signs that shes been listening the entire time. "He was saying you can go do whatever you have ... but your on your own."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:20:51 AM)
*he shrugged* Just have my own plans that are taking up much of my time. Things I personally believe more important to the tribe that maneuvering around a sept that already distrusts us.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:22:10 AM)
Likewiuse, should you succeed, you can have all the credit, and responsibility.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:26:12 AM)
Yuri sighed, "I see. I suppose that is fair." He sipped at the whiskey.
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:36:00 AM)
Moving to gulp down her coffee, she places it off to one side and moves to pull her legs up before her, hugging them lightly, chin moving to rest upon her knees.
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:37:58 AM)
Well man Im headed to bed. You know where the door is.. Feel free to stick around if you want. Irene can show you to a spare bedroom.
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:38:34 AM)
Yuri downed the rest of his whiskey as she stared off into the middle distance. He turned his head to Steven. "Rest easy."
Steven Vincent (Jul 23, 2010 5:38:52 AM)
*he finishes his drink and heads up the stairs to crash out*

Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:42:45 AM)
Yuri stood the glass in his right hand , his left hand in the pocket of the black tailored slacks, he wore. Yuri was dressed in a white shirt with a buttoned black vest and a thin black tie and the cuffs of his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and pressed, and black leather boots. He moved with his usal grace over to the bottle of bourbon and poured himself another glass, he walked back over to the place he was standing before and sipped his drink, he was obviously deep in thought over something.
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:44:42 AM)
Irene doesn't really paying him any apparant head, a hand moving to shield her eyes as she watches the sun starting to hint at the horizon and hearing the birds starting to chirp more as the day arises.
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:46:05 AM)
(*heed)
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:50:53 AM)
Yuri emptied the glass in one gulp and rinsed it out with soap and water before leaving it in the sink. "I will see you later, Irene...have a plesant morning..." The words came as almost an after thought as he meandered to the door.
Irene Copp (Jul 23, 2010 5:54:35 AM)
A glance back his way before finally. "You too Yuri... morning."
Yuri Zharov (Jul 23, 2010 5:56:21 AM)
He opened the door and closed it behind him as he walked to his car and left.
