((Alrighty, I'm assuming Dalton will search for an Ancestor spirit in the umbra? lol How are you tracking one down?))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:06:29 AM)
(He was gonna ask his totem for guidence in that matter, dalton can not speak to spirits, and he has no ancestors background to pull from. But Crow knows many secrets so like he would ask storm crow his packs totem)

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:06:56 AM)
(Storm crow should know of a ansestor spirit dalton can seek out)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:09:18 AM)
((Kk, that works!)) *the dark bird eyes his follower from one side and the other, nodding abruptly and taking wing with a flurry of motion and a loud cry, bidding the young Lord to follow through the umbra and soaring out of the packlands, Dalton had best move fast!*

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:10:33 AM)
*Dalton shifted to lupus his gift for crow in his maw as he followed after the bird as fast as his lupus legs would let him be carried*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:12:50 AM)
*the flier could easily outdistance his alpha below, but he circles back and harries the wolf from time to time instead, cawing as if to urge Dalton faster, his totem's tone is good natured through the pack link* "What did you bring for me, Twists the Truth?"

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:18:10 AM)
*The pack link responded back to the bird* My newest think box, you seem to have used the last one all up.. *He was determined to move faster and even the good natured totem could feel dalton pushing himself forward to try and please the spirit in his actions*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:21:01 AM)
*cackling laughter as a swell of pride in his pack lifts the bird high and the journey brings the pair out to the North, soaring through the Umbra to what looks like a collection of homes in open country. The black bird dips low to flap madly and land on the gutter's rim over a house, rapping his beak on the metal to clang loudly enough to wake the dead*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:23:16 AM)
**Maybe 5 homes in all, each small enough to qualify for the term "Cottage", well kept yards full of sprawling gardens, fruits and vegetables aplenty. It's older..than it seemed at first glance. The houses mostly plaster and tar paper roofs, nothing Weaver about this little neighborhood**

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:23:21 AM)
*He got there and he sat on his haunches before shifting to homid.. He wiped the lupus drool from the think box and dryed it to a shine with his shirt while the bird rapted his beek on the metal..*

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:26:13 AM)
*He then placed the think box on the ground for his totem.. His eyes looking around at his enviorment as he took in where he was.. Then he moved towards the cottage that the crow had been rapting on and raised his hand to knock upon its umbral door*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:29:12 AM)
*another staccato "knocking" brought a grumbled answer from the house* "I'm comin!!" At which the bird cackled gleefully and leapt down to glide over and seize the offering in his claws* PL "Answer well, and this one will teach you, Twists the Truth!"

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:29:55 AM)
~pl~thank you storm crow

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:33:18 AM)
*and the door opened to reveal a rather disgruntled 50-something man with an easy smile and hard eyes that take in the Shadow Lord critically. He wears pioneer clothing and speaks with a trace of an old Cajun French accent* "Well.. Who are you?" *one gnarled and scarred hand resting on the doorknob still, the other braced in the jamb*

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:36:15 AM)
I am Twists the Truth Homid born half moon of the shadow lord tribe, alpha of the storm crows, member of the sept of shared blood, honorably mated to Dama and father of two, seeking the wisdom of an ansestor for tutilage in that I might keep as close to tradition in the ways of my auspice as possidble. *He offered the spirit a smooth bow at the precice time to add that daunting respect to a superior that storm crow imparted on his children*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:41:40 AM)
((afk a few, IRL stuff, sorry!))

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:42:35 AM)
((Something came up wonky on a routine check of our checking account, so give me a moment. >_<))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:42:46 AM)
(ok no prob)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:51:34 AM)
((Back! He's tracking it down on his compy now.))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:51:48 AM)
(ok)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:55:02 AM)
((And..we're good. lmao))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:55:19 AM)
(awesome! well your laughing so thats awesome!)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:55:44 AM)
((Yeah, it's a matter of the bank's site being slow. ))

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 6:55:55 AM)
((Anyway!))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 6:56:14 AM)
(i posted lol!)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:00:38 AM)
*the spirit watches and seems to approve in some manner..as he returns the introduction* I am Stone that Hears of the Children of Gaia, Athro Philodox of the Nation and member of the Sept of Shared Blood, Alpha of Crow's Feet and father of 6, 2 Trueborn and 4 kin who mated honorably. Grandfather of another 13, 4 of which bred True. But I could stand here all day an talk kids with ya. What buisness of yours am I? What sort of Rite are you lookin for, Twists the Truth of Thunder's Brood?

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:04:09 AM)
I was hopeing to learn the rite of ostrasium a punishment ritual to strengthen my knowledge in rituals befitting my auspice moon.. I currently am capable of preforming the stone of scorn and voice of the jackal

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:09:25 AM)
*and like his deedname, there is no change in his outward expression, but Stone that Hears nods slowly after a long moment* A good start. .. *he moves to step outside and shut the door behind him, walking a little slowly and seeming to think that Dalton will join him* I have known a few of Thunder's Brood, Twists the Truth. I am curious to know if you are like them, or of a different breed. So I must ask you a question. If I like the answer, I'll ask a favor of ya, an teach you the rite you seek. If I don't, I'll be of no help to ya, and our mutual patron will have to seek out another for you. *taking a seat on a fallen log overgrown with mushrooms and moss, he looks up to Dalton* We all live hard lives, take comfort as we may in the mates and children that fate allows us. We all serve one Nation, we strive for the same truths. But it falls to the half moon to judge and seperate, to divide by our very natures and our calling. When all around us..nothing is needed more than Unity. So my Question

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:12:28 AM)
*He followed the spirit listening to what it was he was saying. Moving at a rather easy speed with the man it was not like chaseing his totem a much more relaxed stroll.. When the man sat down and looked up at dalton, it was dalton whom took a seat on the ground across from him so that the man was not looking up at him but straight ahead at him. He listened to what the philiodox was saying to him, a enigmatic question from a ancestor spirit. He had not been expecting this.*

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:12:40 AM)
My question..is this. Why do we Punish?

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:19:47 AM)
*He looked at the man with a raise of his brow* Because we hope those we punish are capable of redemption, we seek to see them rise from there mistakes from there punishments and stive to do better to be better, to be determined to make right with gaia, the tribe, there families, and the nation. Even some of the stronger punishment rituals such as the great hunt are ment to allow the offender to regain there honor. Very few punishment rites are ment to kill, and those are only reserved for the worst offenders of the littany, for those incapable of redemption..Without punishment rites, without half moons those whom walk the thin line to keep the balance of beast and man within the nation are vital to the survival to the laws and to gaia herself. What would the garou nation be without us?

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:21:39 AM)
(not done)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:23:59 AM)
((kk! lol))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:25:55 AM)
Also to note not all the punishment rites are to divide in fact some like the stone of scorn actuly promote sept unity, when the entire sept is involved and together in a matter it promotes unity and togetherness in the ritual itself. True the offender might be an outsider in this unity, but so are many whom find themselves punished for misdeeds to pack, sept, the nation and gaia. The unity can also be found in the ritual I seek to learn tonight, as it is more then a philiodox preforming it, it is the sept that turns its back together on the offender. Again that is a show of unity, though we may divide we also unite such is the way of the half moon, not a singular side like sull moon or no moon, but the balance of all phases of luna fall to us.. It could only be a half moon after all to divide one by sending him away while uniting the others in the action to do so..

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:26:57 AM)
(ok done)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:34:28 AM)
*Stone that Hears listens ponderously, and again, a long moment passes before the Philodox elder nods* You are indeed like those I knew in life, and it is good to know another. My task is that you spend one day to judge yourself and your own pack, to see if your honor and strength unifies you with the sept, or divides you from them. To determine which purpose you better serve in the end. Twists the Truth, the rite of Ostracism is a few simple words, given strength and meaning by the unity of purpose that brings the rest together, to drive out the individual for whom it is cast. For it is not the Trueborn we seek to banish, but the darkness of their sins instead. *and Stone leans down to gather little rocks and show Dalton the arrangement of the garou for the rite, telling him the words to speak ..now that he's sure the Shadow Lord already knows the Meaning behind them*

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:38:22 AM)
*He listened closely to the elder then watched as he laid out the stones.. Judge his pack, that was a daily occurance was it not? He would have to look at it from the angle in which the elder asked him to, which he would have to complete in a days time.* (you want me to blue book the answer?)

Dastai (Aug 2, 2011 7:39:17 AM)
((Sure thing! and please roll to learn the rite. ^_^))

Dalton Fortman (Aug 2, 2011 7:40:34 AM)
