*Beside mark lay several large highly polished sterling silver bowls. He had spent a few hundred dollars on acquiring these bowl and of the five he had 3 were ruined. He was sitting in the middle of the pack house in Crinos etching the story onto the outer edged of the bowl in the High Garou tongue. He was almost done with this one and when he carved the last stance of the tale upon it he sighed out in relief that he managed to do this one without miscarving any of the runes. His previous three attempts had not been as fortunate the first was embeeded into a pile of boxes after being flattened with a powerful strike of the Modi’s fist and then flung like a Frisbee across the room only to bury itself three quarters of the way into some boxes. He took the finished bowl and after rechecking it for errors he was satisfied it was worthy of it’s use. He pulled a clean polishing towel and some brasso and set to giving the outer edge a high polish so that it would reflect the moons glow on it.*

(Ah, excellent)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:22:32 PM)
*sat off to the side, trying to not look amused with him, after all she was smart enough to know who would win if he frenzied, so she gazed off into the distance distractedly*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:24:06 PM)
*He looked at Safina and a slight growl came from his lips* You know I can FEEL your amusement...*he stood up and shifted back down to homid* I am going to need to you to speak to the spirits for me. A Lune specifically. I hope to get them to teach me a gift.

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:25:15 PM)
Hey I was doing my damnest to not laugh. *she grinned up at him only have sheepishly* Ooo a Lune, and on my moon too...

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:26:28 PM)
Yeah... so don't all googly when we find one *laughs at her* Alright I guess I should dedicate this so that it crosses over with us.

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:27:22 PM)
*she nodded in agreement with his statement and yawned, streaching and standing up*

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:27:37 PM)
(Lune's can be summoned to this side of the gauntlet, so you don't have to cross over)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:28:08 PM)
(Don't have the rite... need to fix that)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:28:17 PM)
(*sighs*)

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:28:36 PM)
(alrighty, then a searching you must go, and a dedicating you must do)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:30:26 PM)
*Mark sets about Dedicating the Sterling silver bowl to himself so that he can take it across the gauntlet... after the process and the gnosis was spent on it he looked at Safina* Ready? *he asked as he pushed his way through the gauntlet of the pack house*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:30:58 PM)
(1 suxx on the dedication)

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:31:09 PM)
(alrighty)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:31:21 PM)
*nodded just a bit, following after him*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:33:22 PM)
*After they cross the gauntlet he looked at her* Well lets see how that Godi spirit finding nose of yorus is working.

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:34:43 PM)
*she wrinkled her nose up at him for that* You realise most spirits don't have scents.. atleast not in the traditional sense *but she shifted down to lupus, and padded off.. weither it was at random or she had an idea where she was going... you decide*

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:36:00 PM)
*as Lune's oft times inhabited moon pathes and bridges, the little spirits flitting about ribbon like with their outlines of blue and gold, seemingly somewhat lazy as they moved, relaxed and calm, seeing as the moon was descending towards it's shadowed side, it was easy enough to find these spirits and in part, they almost sought out the Garou when they began traveling near one of the moon pathes, being drawn by the highly shined bowl that Mark carried and the touch of Luna that walked with both Garou*

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:37:27 PM)
*she yuffed quietly to some of the spirits as they passed by in a polite greeting, and gave Mark a wolfie smirk*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:38:36 PM)
*Mark chuckled at Safina as she led the way.. he carried the bowl in his hands with the polished side out and he watched as the glow of Luna flowed across it as they travelled.* Well it seems you might know a thing or two after all there Crimson Claw *smiling at her. He walked up bowing his head to the spirits that were gathered around the moon path*

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:40:13 PM)
*the lunes seemed generally content, their emotions placid and somewhat complacent as they swirled around the two Garou, sharing their pleasure at what they were seeing and their curiousity tickling at the back of Mark and Safina's minds, curiousity about their presence but more importantly about the silver bowl*

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:43:05 PM)
*she looked over to Mark curiously waiting to see what he would want/do(

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:43:36 PM)
*Mark moved so that he could sit in the very center of the moon path so that even in Luna's wanning presence she would glow on the bowls surface* I have come so that I might learn a Gift from you Sprits of Lune. War comes to the Sept and soon we engage in battle with the Spirals. I wish to be prepared when we meet. For you aid I have come with a tale...*motions to the bowl where it was etched* And a promise to have this mounted atop my packs house in the Umbra so that always the story will be there for you to remember and that Luna's grace shine upon it.

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:46:17 PM)
~ss~My packmate comes to ask for a favor... war comes to our sept, and soon we should engage in battle againist the fallen... he wishes to be prepared... in return he brings you information, a tale... and a promise to set this bowl in a place of honor, atop our pack's dwelling in the umbra, so you might always have it.

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:49:48 PM)
*a few of the Lunes swirled down into the bowl like coy in a pond, swirling about in circles and creating a rippling light pattern almost like liquid moonlight as they danced across the lettering and their pleasure at what they were seeing practically overwhelmed the two Garou as there were several and then the flow of amusement as Safina translated and the sensation that it was unneccessary to translate what was being said, and then they flitted around Mark's head for a moment before moving back to the bowl and then rising to the sky and then coming back to the bowl as if they wanted something a little more out of the deal, something they wanted to be sure of*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:51:38 PM)
The story of Sir Arngim. Ho for the white of the withered bough And the red of the wrinkled leaf! Sir Arngrim sits in Ironwood, And his heart is filled with grief. The sun sinks down on Ironwood Blood-red behind the trees; Sir Arngrim stares upon the sword That lies across his knees. “Oh my father died a death of blood, And my mother of wasting woe; And their spirits dwell in the rocky fell Where the trees of Ironwood grow.” “And still the guilt of the life-blood spilt Doth unavenged remain; And in the red of the wrinkled leaf I read my father’s pain.” “Oh the kings were three, sailed o’er the sea To work us havoc and harm; And I see in the white of the wizened bough My mother’s beckoning arm.” Sir Arntrim stood with the sea beneath And the rocky fell behind, And there he saw three gallant ships That sailed before the wind. “Oh red of hand, they come to land With a host and a mighty horde! And how shall I wreak my father’s death With the power of a single sword?” W

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:51:42 PM)
*sheepish wolf grin, wrinkles her nose at Mark*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:52:05 PM)
Sir Arntrim stood with the sea beneath And the rocky fell behind, And there he saw three gallant ships That sailed before the wind. “Oh red of hand, they come to land With a host and a mighty horde! And how shall I wreak my father’s death With the power of a single sword?” When the writhen shadows in Ironwood Grew long, and the fading rim Of the sun sank low behind the fell, The Fenrir-Wolf came to him. “Now hearken to me, thou Brave Modi! And, if thou Trust in me, I’ll bind a spirit shall serve thee well For Vengeance of thy families fate shall belong to thee.”

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:52:18 PM)
“Oh a spirit am I from dawn till dusk… But my night of a magic rune, And a weird of woe, a wolf I go O’nights beneath the moon.” “Thou shalt slay three hosts in Ironwood That the Fenrir-Wolf will aid this deed… Then as Modi true, when the fight is done, Shalt pay the spread the word of Fenrir-Wolf to everyone.” It was the first o’ the host came on With the rush of a roaring gale… But they might not stir the single sword That bit through bone and mail.

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:52:31 PM)
Oh half o’ the host at eve were slain, And half o’ the host were fled; And all night long in Ironwood The wolf howled o’er the dead. It was the second host came on As Levin leaps from the sky; But they might not quell the Fenrir spell And the sword of Fenrir Eye. Oh half o’ the host at eve were fled, And half in their blood lay still; And all night long in Ironwood The Fenrir got his fill.

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:52:47 PM)
It was the third o’ the host came on Like the waves of a winter sea; But they broke on the sword as billows break Where the hidden skerries be. Oh half o’ the host at eve were slain, And half were fled away; And like the dad, among the dead, In a swoon Sir Arngrim lay. The moon shone down on Ironwood Above the trees so tall; And lo! The read and wrinkled leaves Upon his face did fall. And lo! The shade of the withered bough Across his face lay dim, And the mighty Fenrir-wolf howled That his journey did just begin.

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:52:54 PM)
Ho ho for the read of the wrinkled leaf! His spirit has gone to dwell For the first of Fenrir Mightiest In the halls of Valhalla!

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:53:13 PM)
(Sorry for the Spam he actually did have a story on it... not just some made up thing)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:54:05 PM)
*As Mark finished telling the tale that was etched carfully on the bowl he looked at Safina for her to let him know what the spirits thought of his offering*

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:55:24 PM)
(No, that's fine. I really enjoy that kind of stuff)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 4:56:55 PM)
(2 suxx on Charisma Expression roll)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 4:58:22 PM)
*she ponders for a moment... looking at him... thinking* They like it.. I think they want a bit more...

Lune (May 25, 2011 4:58:38 PM)
*the Lune's swirled about his head some more, their pleasure emenating from them and too him, obviously pleased with his telling of the tale and with the tale itself, they again lifted to the sky and descended to the bowl, there was something they were still slightly desiring, though from the level of their worry it was a detail of minor importance as they danced rather absently inside the bowl, their images reflecting cleanly on it's surface that seemed to amuse them greatly*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:00:18 PM)
*Looks at her* Well what is it they are wanting? *obviously he could feel their pleasure coming from them but he was at a loss of their meanings and seeing as she was the Godi he looked at her for an answer*

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:02:16 PM)
(You may make a Wits+Enigma if you would like to figure it out, or try a couple of ideas. The lunes are quite pleased at the moment, so a wrong guess will prolly not cause any problems)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 5:02:51 PM)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 5:04:42 PM)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:06:08 PM)
*Nods* I planned on having Bastian perform the Rite of Adoration on it also. Unfortunately neither of us know it...

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:08:38 PM)
*Looks at Safina* The bowl's Round... and the outter surface is highly polished and we will keep it that way no worries on that... there will always be some face of it visible to Lune

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:08:56 PM)
Atleast while Luna is visible to us that is.

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 5:10:27 PM)
*looked up at the Lunes to see if they approved*

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:11:09 PM)
*they twisted in the air around their heads as their pleasure increased and their worry vanished and one of the Lune's slid lightly along the side of Mark's head, imparting to him the knowledge of how to imbue his claws with Luna's grace*

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 5:14:38 PM)
*smiled a bit at Mark*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:16:22 PM)
*As the knowledge on how to unlock the Gift was imparted to him he lowered his head in thanks to the spirits. Mark then looked up at Safina and chuckled* What's the grin for.... someone is going to have to polish this you know *laughed at her*

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:17:17 PM)
*He knelt down and picked up the bowl so that they could carry it back and have it placed atop the packhouse honoring the bargain made*

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:18:22 PM)
*the Lune's would flit about the bowl a bit longer and as it was lifted and left, they turned and resumed their lazy drifting and listing along the moon path* (Well played sir, good Chiminage. And congrats for your gift)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:18:42 PM)
(many thanks)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:19:25 PM)
(you wouldn't belive me when I tell you it took me a week to come up with that idea.. and I had outside help ... was told to read some novels to additional ideas

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:19:31 PM)
(If you could add the Chiminage to your BB and what have you so that it's recorded that you've done it)

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:19:54 PM)
(Oh, I believe it)

Mark Renner (May 25, 2011 5:20:14 PM)
(will do)

Safina Karlson (May 25, 2011 5:20:15 PM)
(lol)

Lune (May 25, 2011 5:21:02 PM)
(And you're all set, I'll post for the scene and you can spend for the gift to get it added)
