(Go ahead and make your post..)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:25:27 PM)
*Tristan would knock politely on Travis' door*

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:26:05 PM)
*The voice on the other side called out* Come in, come in..

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:26:35 PM)
*stepped in, and was trying to see if Travis was in a good mood or not before he made his request*

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:28:09 PM)
*He looked up at Tristan with a raise of his brow.. If anyhting the man looked rather somber.. There was a black bottle corked and unopened on his desk, with no label on it.*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:29:12 PM)
"Ah, had a request of you, if you had the time." *scratched the back of his head, noticing the bottle and wondering what was going on*

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:30:36 PM)
*He looked at Tristan*What is the request?

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:31:44 PM)
"There's a rite, that's in our tribe, that I'm hoping you know, and I'd like to learn it. I dont, quite, know the name of it. But if what I heard is true, it will tell you how to cure anyone, of anything."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:33:51 PM)
*He watched Tristan. *It is a very guarded tribal secret you speak of. Whom have you heard about this from? It is not common knowledge to say the least.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:34:50 PM)
"rumors, whispered through tribemates, not local ones though."

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:35:38 PM)
"Mostly heard of it back in Washington, once, a long time ago. Although to confess, I wasn't entirely sure you wouldnt' tell me it wholly didn't exist to begin with."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:37:33 PM)
*He then looked to tristan*I am leery to teach tribal secrets at this point. Just recently I had a crippled kinfolk of another tribe ask to learn a sacred art of our's that she could not have possidbly learned about had someone not explained it to her. She is obviously incapable of even standing on her own without the use of the stick she carry's to keep her balance, let alone being capable of doing the manuvers the art calls for. "

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:37:51 PM)
"Actually, she just asked me to learn staff fighting"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:38:02 PM)
"I didnt tel her anything other than i couldn't teach her what i knew without your permission"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:38:49 PM)
"Besides, everyone knows that you know that staff art, and beat the living snot out of the warder with it?" *tilted his head*

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:38:58 PM)
*He looked at Tristan* And you where incapable of telling her something along the lines of. "This is a tribal art form, you are not only incapable of the moves, due to your physical condition, but we do not even teach it to our own tribes kinfolk?"

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:39:32 PM)
You will be a elder of the tribe one day..

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:39:39 PM)
"Actually I had no idea whether we teach it to our own kinfolk or not." *folded his arms a little* "And yes, I punted. And the HELL i will"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:40:03 PM)
"I've got zero aspirations beyond Adren and you can consider me out of my ever loving mind if I ever do."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:41:02 PM)
*He motioned to tristan* You will be one you know it, you can't hide your deeds from everyone forever.. The spirits are gonna take notice, and you are gonna be pushed up the ranks, it is gonna eventualy be up to you to know what is and what is not acceptiable. Be able to respect other tribes bounderies and stand up for our own.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:42:09 PM)
"Not if I don't challenge for it. Tradition is what we live, die, and screw ourselves over by. So riddle me this then, why is it such a secret to know how to kick ass, or to heal people?"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:42:35 PM)
"I'll grant you that's how it is, but if you want to put me on the spot the next words out of my mouth are going to be why it is what it is."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:47:03 PM)
*He looked at Tristan*Well you allready answered your own quesiton mr. Riddler.. "tradition is what we live and die and screw outselves over by". We have been screwed over plenty in the past in our own tribal history. Our ability to heal and mediate and have faith in the other tribes that they would use this wisdom in the ways we did has caused great atoricties in the past. Take this kinfolk you speak of. We gathered blankets from other tribes and aided in healings and tried to hold councils between the pure ones and the rest when we first arrived. The others they put diseases in those blankets our kinfolk delivered to the natives as a offering of peace and good will to help them through the winter.. They of cource did not make it a week let alone a month.. When we tried

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:48:48 PM)
to stop the others from killing the fera.. We tried to bring them together for peacefull negociations as the other tribes lied to us, the fera where slaughted and allmost all of the healers of the fera are utterly gone.. Rare if you ever see let alone hear of one of the great bear shifters of old.. Ive heard stories they could cleanse great distances with such ease, and even heal wounds we children of gaia are incapable of doing.

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:49:39 PM)
Our eagerness to share our secrets and help all, have killed a great many of gaias creatuires because we belive everyone is as pure as unicorn herself.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:50:49 PM)
*he paused a minute, something had irked him by this point in the conversation and he was taking the moment to rearrange his words*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:53:16 PM)
"Fine." *he eventually said, whatever more he wanted to say, of which there was likely plenty, he apparently wasn't going to.* "I'll thank you for your time then. Elder." *and he waited to be dismissed*

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:55:43 PM)
*He looked at Tristan a moment longer* I did not say I wouldnt teach you tristan.

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 8:58:37 PM)
*He opened his draw and picked up the bottle placing it back in his draw before he stood up* Infact I would like to pass on the knowledge of the sacred hidden ritual to you, if you want to learn it. And we have used it to aid other tribes in the past, we keep it guarded so that it is not misused or used against others in a darker light.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:59:07 PM)
"Color me confused, how can you abuse a rite that heals?"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:59:17 PM)
*and that time it wasn't snark, he actually didn't get it*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:59:43 PM)
"And yes, I do want to learn it, and no, i'm not saying i'd teach it to anyone out of tribe, although I am wondering what you want for that"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 8:59:59 PM)
(to learn it, not for him to teach it he means)

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 9:00:22 PM)
(He is saying he "would not teach it to anyone outside the tribe yes?)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:00:47 PM)
(right. he want to know how it could be abused, but dont take the question wrongly. he *wont* teach it outside the tribe)

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 9:01:31 PM)
"What I want is your promise that you will never teach another living soul this ritual, until you yourself are a elder, and only then will you teach it to only a child of gaia worthy of it's use. "

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 9:03:47 PM)
*He looked at tristan*And it can be used in the wrong light because part of the rtiual summons a very rare spirit. It is the only way I know of that this spirit can ever manifest itself. If a person tried to bind this spirit or use it in a malice intent it would actualy rend further uses of this ritual incapable of action, leaving us forever incapable of ever preforming it. It would be a great loss to our tribe and to gaia herself.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:04:08 PM)
"oh. I didnt realize you could even do that."

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:04:14 PM)
*A Theurge, he wasn't*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:04:34 PM)
"And yes, I can promise you that. Although I'm pretty sure my packmate knows of the rite. Can I send him to you if he asks me? I mean andy."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 9:04:42 PM)
*He tapped the side of his head* Yes, you most certainly could, and you do see the danger in such a thing?

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:04:51 PM)
*he nodded* "Yeah."

Gabby Girl (Dec 4, 2010 9:07:37 PM)
*He gave him a nod of his head once tristan understood the dangers he was trying to express. Perhaps tristan would see the earlier reflection the elder had given him, making more sence. In a attempt to teach and heal others the children had invertantly caused a great many pure ones and fera to die, because they assumed the other garou of the naiton would never lie or mistreat the stuff they shared with them. And with a rite such as this, if it fell into the wrong hands it could essentialy rend the ritual incapable of use and no future generation would ever be able to complete it, all those lives lost would fall heavy on the tribe who spilled the secrets of it*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:08:43 PM)
*Did seem to get it, might be brash and stubborn and rather demanding of answers that he thought made sense, but once he had them, generally didnt take issue with them and got the point*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:10:35 PM)
"I get it." *scratched at the back of his head*

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:11:11 PM)
*The Elder moved towards the door* Come with me, I will take you to this lesson, it will take a great deal of effort and concentration to master this ritual, but you will feel such a over whelming closeness to gaia like you have never felt before.. *And he moved towards the door holding it open for tristan to step out of.. Once tristan was out he moved with him.. And began leading him on the bawn.*I heard this ritual was actually recently completed not far from here.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:12:45 PM)
"hrm. Hadn't heard that. although I bet I have a good guess"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:12:53 PM)
*and he stepped to follow Travis*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:15:19 PM)
"Although by the way, I'm still serious. Tribal elder, not in this lifetime."

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:16:06 PM)
*He nodded to him moving to the edge of the bawn, there was a brilliant looking lake that seemed to have a frost slithering over it, giving it a nice fog like effect.. Beside it was a huge weeping willow tree, and on the ground there was some broken willow branches that must have fell free from the cool winter winds.. The elder knelt down and began picking them up.. Tristan could feel the pulse of gaia seeming to come from the tree as if reminents of such pure healing energy still lingured around it..*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:16:55 PM)
*shut and got serious when travis started, and paid the heck attention for a change with his mouth shut*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:17:28 PM)
*although did give the tree a funny look, finding that strange, not bad, but weird*

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:17:59 PM)
*He stood up* there are some things to take into consideration before preforming this ritual

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:18:18 PM)
First thing to remember is, that the ingrediants themselves are not always found in the fleshlands.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:18:29 PM)
*nodded*

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:19:06 PM)
Which means if you use this ritual to heal a kinfolk, it is the kinfolk who will be given the instructions by the spirit on how to heal itself, if it names umbral things the kinfolk obviously will not be able to obtain those ingriednts

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:19:25 PM)
So the kinfolk is likely going to need a garou to gather those things for it

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:19:51 PM)
"Right, kin doint go otherside. Makes sense."

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:20:13 PM)
"And you dont be a dick and tell someone how to solve something then tell them too bad so sad we wont help do it."

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:23:23 PM)
*nods his head to tristan* yes indeed, and some of these umbral ingrediants can be very difficult to find, and quite dangerous to obtain. However if not obtainted the then entire procedure was a wasted effort.. Also you must remember that who ever you do this ritual for, should always remember as clearly as possidble ever detail of the instructions.. Such as i did one for someone whom the good doctor told them "must be done when luna is not watching"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:23:52 PM)
A no moon was when we had to mix the ingrdients for them to ingest

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:24:39 PM)
"Ritual, spirit, instructions. The usual. Picky, and occasionally puzzling. Got it."

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:27:48 PM)
*He chuckled with a nod of his head* Good glad you got that. Now for a lupus it is best to you a hollowed out den of some kind, it is always best to wrap one in gaias warmth. *He motioned to the large roots of the tree which where parted in areas.. And said* go in and take a look, this area had been used for a kinfolk you will see the way the cresent moon made it as comfortable for the kinfolk as possidble but still kept her within the earth.. Very creative method I must say so, and done in a willow tree was rather fitting as well.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:29:32 PM)
"huh" *and he shifted down, and wriggled his way in, limping*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:29:50 PM)
~ws~ Hope they aint claustrophobic...

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:30:09 PM)
(heh sorry. what's tristan without his commentary on life? hee)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:31:42 PM)
*When tristan got inside he noticed it was not that small inside it was a large wide area just not very tall.. there was leaves that had been used to make a soft bedding and then a warm hand stiched wool blanket ontop of them the area was warm and seemed utterly wind free he could hear the russtle of the beanches outside and it seemed extreamly peaceful within it..*(haha yeah it is quite awesome yes?)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:32:05 PM)
(the scene? yah)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:32:54 PM)
(i mean tristan lol is quite awesome)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:33:06 PM)
(oh lol. well *I* have a biased answer on that. XD)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:33:43 PM)
*he took a good look around, kind of was impressed by how quiet and calm it was*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:34:06 PM)
*and once he'd stuck his nose in near everything, wriggled his way back out through the tree*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:37:32 PM)
"That is pretty slick"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:39:09 PM)
*When tristan slipped back out he nodded to him*And yes the clostephobic thing can come into effect, so could a fear of spiders or bugs or any number of things.. This means when you are doing this ritual you should really ask the person about such things. because if they are afraid of the enviorment they will have a hard time getting to sleep in it, and that could essensialy cause the ritual to fail. So your comentary on clostephobia(sp?) is actualy a wise one.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:40:06 PM)
"So they gotta go to sleep in it. got it." ~ws~ *and shifted back up* "What spirit does this summon, anyhow?"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:43:09 PM)
It is also very important to remember that if you know the origin of the sickness that plagues them it actually makes the ritual you preform easier to acomplish. There is another ritual which actualy makes this one easier as well.. Breath of gaia should be preformed correctly for the correct number of days before attempting this, if you truly want there to be no sucess at failure. (diff 8 -1 if the person preforming the rite knows the origin of the illness *breath of gaia -2 diff to any healing rolls thus he just explained how to make diff8 go to diff 5)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:44:21 PM)
(oh, nice)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:44:35 PM)
*he looked sheepish* "That'll be next on the list to learn. then"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:46:26 PM)
Well I have heard the spirit takes on different forms from time to time. However oddly enough most people speak of a old Doctor Finlay, appearing as if he stepped out of an old black and white photograph.. *Shrugs his shoulders* spirits are an engima in and of themselves. However after they awaken if the ritual is preformed correctly a spirit will appear to them, and give them the ingridents and recipe to the cure for there illness.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:48:26 PM)
*he nodded*

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:49:50 PM)
Now there are a couple things one most note here.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:52:40 PM)
"A few more? Okay." *didnt seem suprized, was trying to commit it all to memory*

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:52:42 PM)
Some time between gathering the ingredients, there must be a treasure or sacrafise given to gaia for her love and understanding.. I have heard of some ritual masters asking for the person to go on a task to get them something the ritual master himself might need.. However to me, and all the children of Gaia I have come across whom know this ritual are quite selfless, it is more important to us that gaia be remembered and honored then something we might personaly want. Remember when a offering is made to gaia in this fashion, it should be noted that what ever gift is given, that it has a bond to the person giving it.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:54:17 PM)
"Ah, okay. how big of a sacrafice are we takling?"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:55:40 PM)
I know of one whom had only had one thing left from there past, it was a childrens book that there mother had read to them when they where a small child. It was there cherished position for it was the only thing they had left to remember her with. It was something they cherished and managed to keep ahold of all those years, filled with memories of love and warmth. You would think a childrens book is nothing more then some pages and binding.. But giving something of such meaning to the mother of us all is quite epic on a spiritual level.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:57:15 PM)
"okay, that kind of thing. I follow ya."

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:57:27 PM)
What ever the thing that they give to gaia is, it must reflect the love of parent to child it must be something they cherish it must have meaning to them, it might not be a treasure to you or me but it would be considered a treasure to the person giving it to gaia.

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:58:06 PM)
As the one preforming the ritual you must make sure they understand what sdort of treasure is expected

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 9:59:10 PM)
"I get it, personal meaning, not otherwise"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 9:59:49 PM)
*nods his head* Now here are some things you must do

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:00:08 PM)
First always cleanse the area before a ritual takes place

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:00:50 PM)
second after the sacred prayer i am about to teach you, you must make sure no one disturbs the sleeping injured person. This is extremly important there rest can not be disturned or it will fail

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:01:27 PM)
they must wake up when the spirit is ready for them to, most often then not, i have seen it take anywhere for 12 hours to 24 hours for extreme cases

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:01:43 PM)
so you should be fully rested before doing it,..

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:02:44 PM)
"right, because i'll be up and guarding to make sure."

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:07:37 PM)
*he nodded his head then he turned to Tristan and moved close* This is the prayer that is used, guard it's knowledge well.. When you are ready to preform the ritual, make sure the person is comfortable.. then as a father would a child or a mother would a child, you must sit beside them get them to relax and send them on there journey with this prayer.. (prayer is incomming)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:09:53 PM)
*He whispered it very softly saying it in a rather fatherly voice..*May you have a world of wishes at your command, Gaia and her spirits close at hand. Friends and Family there love impart, and Unicorn's blessings in your heart.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:10:19 PM)
*looked at Travis, raised an eyebrow, bit his tounge and nodded*

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:10:45 PM)
(lol. ooc. lol. cute. XD)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:11:01 PM)
*He looked at tristan* That is how it is done.. Any questions?

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:11:06 PM)
(lol thanks)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:11:33 PM)
"oiy. no. other than if andy asks me about ever learning it, can i shoot him your way?'

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:11:53 PM)
"i'm pretty sure he knows it exists. and frankly y'want my opinion. he's the better coggie of the pair of us"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:12:27 PM)
Sure Shoot him my way.. Tell him you are incapable of teaching it to him until you yourself are a elder, and since you plan on never becoming a elder, you plan on having this sacred ritual die with you.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:13:03 PM)
"Can we not have this argument, again?"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:13:13 PM)
"But thank you"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:13:16 PM)
(LOL)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:13:49 PM)
*He grinned and nodded to Tristan* yes yes no need for a new argument on a old sore subject. And you are welcome.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:14:21 PM)
"Sides, for me to be elder, you'd have to be dead

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:14:36 PM)
(you can book it, it will take 3 weeks and all i think 3 rolls 1 A week and such)

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:14:44 PM)
"And i will tell you what a packmate long ago once told me. You die, and i'm having a theurge bind your ass into a fetish as an anestor spirit just to give you DAILY grief for having the nerve"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:14:49 PM)
(cool)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:15:13 PM)
*He looked at him* You can gain the "rank" of elder without my death.

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:15:46 PM)
"Huh. I thought the old one had to be dead for a new one to be chosen. Even though I knwo we do the whole three elder thing usually"

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:15:48 PM)
I did not say you had to be a elder of a sept, just that you had to be a "elder" *smirks and he begins walking back towards the bawn* now for my dandalion wine

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:15:51 PM)
"Either way, you're stuck with the job."

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:16:02 PM)
*nodded to him* "enjoy it"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:16:14 PM)
(the wine, not the job. lol. he's being sincere)

Gabby Girl In Scene DND (Dec 4, 2010 10:16:21 PM)
"Yes and you keep up the good work"

Tristan Redgrave (Dec 4, 2010 10:17:27 PM)
*(imma log out, thank you for the scene!)
