((rowan pants!))
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:42:29 AM)
(YO!)
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 12:43:06 AM)
(hey :) )
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:45:51 AM)
*The house is a doublewide trailer, containg four bedrooms and two bathrooms and it sits on 2 acres of land that consists of swamp, meadow and a field, some of which is used to grow the herbs for the prodcuts sold in the shop just down the acreage from the house. The house itself is a beige color, with brown shutters, screened windows and surrounded by foilage consisting of virgin mary flowers, lavendar and marigolds. There is a small screened-in porch, large enough for a small round table and a few chairs.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:46:22 AM)
*She shows up with Cole, having had him drive his car, and she on her motorcycle*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:46:35 AM)
*There is a rock/gravel driveway that circles from the main road and to the front of the house.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:46:50 AM)
*aaaaaaaand....took it easy on the motorcycle. Cause gravel is evil*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 12:47:46 AM)
*he parked and got out, waiting for Sarah and walking slightly behind her, quiet as ever*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 12:48:29 AM)
*Michelle is out sitting on the front porch, she has a tall glass of water sitting nearby and her guitar over her knee. She strums lightly as she seems to be relaxing at the moment, she perks up a bit at the arrival of vehicles but relaxes again seeing it is Sarah and the kin*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:48:30 AM)
*The interior of the house is cozy in it's look and feel. Some of the furniture is outdated with it's plastic covered sectional couches, save for the large recliner which could seat two people. There is also a rocking chair and a chaise which sits near the door.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:48:51 AM)
*She parked her motorcycle and takes off her helmet and shook out her hair, and gave Michelle a wave*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 12:49:44 AM)
*a polite nod of greeting for the Fury*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:50:47 AM)
*The floors are all covered in a beige carpet, save for the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen had been recently updated with a dishwasher and a fresh coat of lacquer on the cabinets. All of the bedrooms were prepped and ready for the rest of the pack, as well as the living room, in it which sat a basket of blankets and two extra pillows in case someone needed to utilize the sofa bed.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:50:59 AM)
*She walked up towards the house, unziping her jacket - leather of course* Hello Michelle. How are you?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:51:17 AM)
*Aaaaand NOOOOW!!!..Rowan is seen cutting vegetables in the kitchen.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 12:52:00 AM)
Evenin yall, *she gave both that big grin* I am doing fine, how about you? *waiting for Sarah's response with her full attention before directing an* And you? *to the kinfolk*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:52:13 AM)
Good good.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:52:14 AM)
*She perks up, hearing chatter and vehicles pull in. The knife in her hand is gripped slightly, until she hears familiar voices. She sighs, smiling as she moves to the front door.*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 12:54:10 AM)
I an quite well Michelle-Rhya. Pleased to hear you are doing fine.
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 12:55:29 AM)
*She smiled, then returned her attention mostly to Sarah* So, what have you been up to?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:55:35 AM)
*She opens the front door, smiling, slightly beaming. She is wearing a discolored apron around her lower half, dark jeans, mocassins and a faded t-shirt.* Hello, everyone.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:56:01 AM)
Hello Rowan. And so far..just training a bit, and preparing for moving.
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 12:56:14 AM)
Goodevening Rowan-Rhya *a polite nod*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 12:57:04 AM)
*She smiles at Sarah and Cole.* Come on in, dinner should be done soon if anyone is hungry. *She looks over at Michelle and grins.* What music are you working on?
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 12:57:40 AM)
Dinner would be nice, thank you Rowan.
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 12:59:35 AM)
*nods a bit to that, then looks to Rowan* Oh... its just a Ballad that I am trying to figure out... *grins* I talked to the Warder, we have about two and a half weeks to make our trip, so we really should get going this week sometime... cause it could take a while to get there and back, and Mom will throw a fit if we dont stop by on the way there or back for a day at least... *she laughed lightly at that, and then headed in to the house itself*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:00:08 AM)
I am ready to leave when you are. *she nodded*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:00:17 AM)
You are all family, as far as I am concerned. And family, gets fed. *She chuckled and nodded to Michelle slightly, opening the door for everyone to come in as she returned to the kitchen, dicing carrots before tossing them into a pan to sautee with onion and garlic.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:00:54 AM)
The truck would fit us, I think, unless we have another way of getting there.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:03:35 AM)
That would work. *she nodded* Do you think it would carry my bike if I brought it along?
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:04:30 AM)
*to Rowan* It smells delicious, thank you *He quieted as the others poke*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:05:34 AM)
*She nodded to Sarah.* Surely, along with our bags. *She looked up and at Cole, smiling.* Thank you, as well, Cole. And you are most welcome. *She stirred up the vegetables, adding in the chopped sausage to the pan.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:07:13 AM)
Good. *She nodded and would sit down* This is a nice house Rowan. I appreciate you allowing us to make use of it.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:10:39 AM)
*She blushed slightly.* Thank you, Sarah. *She smiled, almost whistfully.* All are welcome, so long as love is in their heart.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:12:13 AM)
*She chuckles faintly* well, strong feelings of amicability at least
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:12:17 AM)
I can promise
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:12:19 AM)
*She moved to put her guitar up in her room, then came back to sit down at the table, she takes a drink from her water* Cole, I wanted to thank you for the research on land for sale near the Sept though. We have not yet decided if purchasing it is within our means or something we really want to do yet though... *said as she glanced to her packmates*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:12:48 AM)
*She glanced over, and set her jacket in her lap*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:12:52 AM)
*She smiled, nodding to Sarah as she stirred up the food in the pan, moving to then pull a casserole dish from the oven containing cornbread.*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:13:36 AM)
Certainly. *he nodded to the Fury* If you wish to move forward just let me know. I can also find investment options if you like, but nothing must be followed through on
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:15:41 AM)
*She nods to that, then looks to Rowan* Rowan, what do you think?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:16:53 AM)
About? *She is carefully handling a hot pan with oven mitts.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:18:37 AM)
There is a plot of land for sale near the Sept, how would you feel about the pack making a home there? We could arrange moving your home there even, I think... It is large enough that we would have plenty of space, it would help shore up the borders of the bawn and such...
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:20:12 AM)
*She leaned back, listening*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:21:53 AM)
*She paused a moment, blinking slightly, staring at the cornbread after it popped from the pan and onto the plate on the counter.* Would...*She cleared her throat.*...this be beneficial for the pack? *She looked up, her face normal though her eyes slightly concerned.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:22:49 AM)
*She pauses* It does not mean we have to abandon this land. There are other options. *she said quietly, calmly*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:24:31 AM)
*nods agreement with both of them at their statements* I understand this land means more to you than the homes the rest of us had here, so your opinion on this decision weighs in more to me.. .but I do think it would be good for us all, and for the Sept.
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:24:42 AM)
From what the elders said, they prefer to have a 'barrier' around the sept of pack and tribal lands. I understand that certain packs have left and thier land plots are available.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:25:42 AM)
If nothing else, we could purchase the land and use it for protecing the sept better. Establish a small house there. That way we have a solid place near the sept..and a place where we can get away - if such a thing is sustainable.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:26:07 AM)
*She took their words into consideration, and at mention of it being good for them as well as the Sept, she nodded firmly.* Alright. *She looked at them, nodding.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:26:55 AM)
*She watched Rowan quietly for a moment, then looked to Cole* Alright, what do you need from us to get the land?
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:29:40 AM)
I need to know whose name it should be under and I can gather the paperwork and push it through. Once it is processed things will need to be signed by whoever will hold the title, but most I can complete while you guys are away. Including the loan.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:30:49 AM)
*She nodded, busying herself with the food as they spoke, still listening.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:32:09 AM)
*She nodded* How complicated is the legal obligation once that is established
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:32:29 AM)
*she was quiet a few moments thinking about that, then blinks at Sarah's question, then looks to Cole for the answer to it*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:34:10 AM)
*She set plates on the table, putting the platters of jambalaya, spiced green beans and cornbread on the table with serving spoons and utensils. She then nodded to the question as she poured glasses of lemonade and set them beside the plates on the table.*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:34:56 AM)
It depends on what you decide to do with the land. Merely owning it means basic yearly taxes. Obligations increase if you decide to build. Or you can try to put the land on natural reserve status for wildlands
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:35:13 AM)
which involves complicated paperwork but gives a tax break and very little work once it is granted
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:37:45 AM)
*She nods a bit*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:39:45 AM)
Then... would it be possible to set up some sort of.. I dont know, foundation? And have the Foundation buy the property, that way in case something should happen to one of us the pack still controls it? And perhaps work it so that someone at the Sept is the heir to the land if we were all to be wiped out in a battle?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:40:27 AM)
*She thought for a moment, nodding.* I want to give Alpha power of attorney...that thought had crossed my mind, as well. *She smiled at Michelle.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:40:51 AM)
That way, the land here can be sold or used properly, instead of being taken over by the city, or the bank.
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:41:05 AM)
I will look into the formation of such a foundation *he gave a nod*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:41:54 AM)
*she nods a bit* I am no lawyer or banker, or anything close to such. I am sure there is a good way to set this up, such that the land is safe for the pack should anything happen to one of us, and safe for the Sept should anything happen to the Pack...
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:42:23 AM)
Thank you Cole *She smiled and looked at the food* And that looks delicious, Rowan
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:42:29 AM)
I will bring you all detailed information on the subject
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:44:08 AM)
*She nodded,* Thank you kindly, Cole, and you Sarah. *She grinned just slightly, her face slightly somber, though it were really her mind on things to do before the move.* Please, let's eat. We seem to have some work ahead of us. *She smiled at that, adoringly at those who were there.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:44:27 AM)
*she smiles to that* Yes, thank you Cole. *then she too looked at the spread Rowan had set out* Goodness, you think you are feeding a whole texas football team tonight, Rowan? *she teased, as she grabbed the first pan and put some on her plate and passed it to her right and went for the second*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:44:31 AM)
*She moved over and settled at the table*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:46:10 AM)
*he gave a nod to them, and a ghost of a smile as he followed and settled to eat* This is a stunning spread, Rowan-Rhya.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:47:55 AM)
*She started to eat what was on her plate and nodded in agreement * It is extremely good
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:48:22 AM)
Thank you...*Her cheeks flushed at the comments on the food.* These are my mother's recipes. There isn't a dessert-...*She nearly blanched.* I am...oh, goodness I forgot the dessert.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:48:43 AM)
*She covered her face and laughed at herself, shaking her head.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:48:57 AM)
*She began putting food onto her plate, smirking still.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:49:27 AM)
I don't think desert is needed. This is beyond good. If nothing else, desert would mean jogging would be even longer tomorrow
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:50:36 AM)
*She laughed aloud at that, nodding.* Are you suggesting a pack run?
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:52:57 AM)
*she laughed lightly as she got her food and commenced eating as well* Eh, wouldnt be limited to the pack even, Cole is here too, and he would need to work it off as well *chuckles again*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:53:39 AM)
*She chuckles* Are you up for a jog, Cole? *Grinning a bit*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:54:21 AM)
*She nodded.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:54:51 AM)
*Then she grinned, eating her jambalaya while holding back a torrent of giggles, covering her mouth with one hand.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:55:10 AM)
*She glanced at Rowan*...I...don't think my joke was truly that funny?
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:55:34 AM)
I could be up for a jog. *he blinked a bit*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:55:56 AM)
Unfortuantely sitting at a computer for most of the day is not good for you. I do enjoy getting out
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:56:13 AM)
*gives a brief glance to Rowan, then looks back to the Lords present with a smirk*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:56:40 AM)
*She gave both of them suspicious looks*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:56:52 AM)
*She coughed a bit, eyes wide for a moment before quickly sipping lemonade.*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:57:23 AM)
*Cole chewed his bottom lip as if wondering what he said*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:57:41 AM)
*She looks at Michelle, waggling one eyebrow.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:58:01 AM)
I don't suppose you two drank before we came.
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:58:34 AM)
*She gave a sweet smile to Sarah* So,... *then she nods* Maybe? Is the lemonade spiked? *she asked Rowan*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:58:41 AM)
*She died laughing.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 1:59:01 AM)
I...think I'll be drinking water.
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 1:59:07 AM)
Perhaps it is simply a night to be mirthful?
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 1:59:43 AM)
*she nods to Cole at that* It is the time of Luna's face being hidden, the Ragabash moon is in the sky.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 1:59:55 AM)
*She calmed herself, sighing, smiling.* I...I am sorry.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:00:44 AM)
Apparently *To Michelle, Dryly and looked at both of them* In any case, when are we leaving?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:01:43 AM)
*She looks at Michelle for a moment, then back to Sarah.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 2:03:18 AM)
*She thinks for a moment* How about Sunday? That will still give us two weeks for the trip, and hopefully enough time for us to get a meeting the Mistress of the Rite to ask her assistance with negotiations with a spirit about some of us learning spirit speech. Speaking of which, Rowan. What are your aspirations as far as sept positions and such?
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:03:34 AM)
((ROFL - all the traffic in portland was shut down by a little dog running off on the freeway))
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 2:03:38 AM)
*blinking, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose at Sarah's comment and quieted to enjoy his meal*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:03:47 AM)
It would not take me long to pack, and I can have Grandmother tend the store. (OMG!)
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:03:49 AM)
Sounds good.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:04:13 AM)
*she had stiffed mildly at the mirth,but she relaxed as the conversation moved onward*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:05:49 AM)
*She shook her head.* I am wishing to help the pack, and be where I am needed. I do not want to take a position unless I am required to. *She smiled slightly.*
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 2:08:10 AM)
*She nods a bit to that* Fair enough, I just wanted to be sure my own hopes did not mean we would have to compete in that realm *grins* But, I am hoping that the chiminage that I am planning and our packs task will help with my goals, and the rest of yours thats all. But anyway, back to the trip and chiminage planning. So, the truck will be big enough for all of us you think? And is it reliable enough for the trip across the country?
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:11:01 AM)
*She nodded.* I've driven it here and there, it is spacious and good on gas, though I may need to change the back tires, they seem to be balding...no thanks in part to Louisiana roads. Also, before my father passed he had the engine tuned up. *She grinned.* He had the tendency to drive it as if it were a porsche.
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:13:53 AM)
that's handy, and if there is an emergecy, we shall have my bike.
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:14:34 AM)
*She nods.*
Rowan Wintermoon (Sep 27, 2011 2:15:03 AM)
*Sipping her lemonade, she looks at the others.* More lemonade anyone? *She moves to the refrigerator, grabbing the pitcher and bringing it back to the table.*
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:15:10 AM)
Sounds good then. *she nodded* And..no thank you
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 2:16:18 AM)
I would like some, please
Michelle Reyes (Sep 27, 2011 2:16:24 AM)
*She laughed lightly at the banter, and just worked on her food some before answering* Sure, thank you.
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 2:16:37 AM)
(and I need to head to bed >.< faling asleep at the ketboard. sorry guys, ty for the RP!)
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:16:56 AM)
((Nini!))
Sarah Matthews (Sep 27, 2011 2:17:04 AM)
((and I need to leave soon too. Silly work))
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 2:17:28 AM)
*cole would remain quiet, polite and head out with Sarah when she left*
Cole Moore (Sep 27, 2011 2:17:34 AM)
