Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:01:09 PM)
(thank you for making an Eyes-p free room)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:01:32 PM)
*Rides in the truck to Mark's house. The whole way there teasing Elise about the playlist she left for him.*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:01:33 PM)
(( Lol she's not welcome here like she would be at the gym))
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:02:08 PM)
*she just smiles the whole ride, parking out front, and waiting for Bastian to come round to her side to the open the door*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:03:59 PM)
*Mark's house has a set of Christmas lights on the front porch, in the front window the curtains are pulled back and there is a small tree lit up in the window and a ornament hanging from the window the reflects the lights.. it looks hand blown... the driveway is empty and the backyard is fenced in by a privacy fence.*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:04:38 PM)
*she checks out the Christmas decorations as she waits, still smiling to herself*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:05:00 PM)
*He hops out and walks around to her side opening her door and offering her a hand down...*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:05:24 PM)
*she takes his hand and steals a kiss quickly before getting out of the truck*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:06:32 PM)
*He smiles and closes her door and holds her hand as they head up to the door.*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:06:36 PM)
((seeing how long before TPO kaia is on))
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:07:37 PM)
*she gives Bastian a wink, stopping beside him in front of the door, and knocks*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:10:16 PM)
*Hearing the knock Mark gets up off the couch and mutes the TV walking over and opening the front door seeing the pair* Sup was wondering when ya would get here... Kaia's still running behind.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:11:52 PM)
*she gives Mark a smile* No problem.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:14:15 PM)
Well come on in, can I get ya guys something to drink while we wait?
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:14:16 PM)
Hey Brother. *He offers a hand.* Thanks for meeting with us.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:18:28 PM)
*shakes his hand and leads them into the house*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:18:39 PM)
((Been trying to find the floor layout that I had used))
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:18:49 PM)
*she follows inside*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:19:15 PM)
*He looks around and sits down on a couch and offers Elise her usual seat.*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:20:08 PM)
*she, of course, accepts it*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:20:26 PM)
*The house is small but well kept, the living room is seperated from the kitchen directly behind it by a bar there's a small table in the kitchen... off to the left from where you walk into the house is a small door leading to a bedroom, and a converted office/workout room.. the bathroom is also there... on the TV is muted with Sportscenter on*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:21:11 PM)
Water would be good bro. Got to keep hydrated.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:22:47 PM)
*nods and goes into the Kitchen and grabs three glasses filling them with Ice and water and bringing them back offering one to Bastian, then the other to Elise*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:23:26 PM)
*she takes hers with a nod* Thank you.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:24:50 PM)
*He nods his thanks as he takes the glass and drapes his arm around Elise's waist.* How was your workout bro?
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:25:12 PM)
(Sorry I am a little detached trying to put in my XP and Renown... )
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:26:16 PM)
Well I am not sure if Kaia is going to make it or not but it's not paramount that she be here for it. Workout was pretty good. So we can sit in here or I got a new firepit Kaia and I built a few days ago out back if ya want?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:26:56 PM)
*she shrugs her shoulders, seeming easygoing about wherever they want to talk*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:27:24 PM)
Here's good brother. Just got settled.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:27:55 PM)
*nods* Well you want to start it off Bastian?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:29:28 PM)
*she has a drink and looks at Bastian*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:34:13 PM)
( sorry it is the crazy time at the house.)
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:34:37 PM)
((it's cool gives Kaia time to get home and online)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:35:31 PM)
Mark and I were talking, hypothetically at first about what to do about the current pack issues.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:36:09 PM)
We had hoped that talking to Odonata would bring closure and we would be able to remove Eyes from the pack.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:37:35 PM)
*she has another drink, listening*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:39:38 PM)
It seems that Odonata does not care or is letting us handle this ourselves. So I wanted to meet to discuss the idea of leaving and splitting off to make a new pack. But, for you and I, it will be mean moving.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:40:21 PM)
*Nods* As I really have little to no presence on the packlands due to my issues with Eyes Like the Sky.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:41:18 PM)
*she only nods*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:43:56 PM)
We'll still need to find a third. And we will be on the hunt for a Garou that, well, is a good example of a Garou. No matter what tribe, breed, or auspice.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:44:52 PM)
Yeah someone who knows what it is to be Garou and doesn't need to be taught
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:45:38 PM)
*she nods again, with a shrug* Well, there it is, right? I don't think there's anything to discuss here.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:46:56 PM)
Your thoughts love?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:47:27 PM)
This really uproots your guys life more then it does mine. So we were wanting your opinion on the matter Elise.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:48:18 PM)
*she shakes her head slowly* No, if you both wanted my opinion you would have asked before you decided.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:50:49 PM)
We havn't decided anything yet, other then to talk about both of us leaving the pack instead of just myself.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:51:31 PM)
Mark is leaving. He has made up his mind. But, this is a discussion. Nothing has been set in stone.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:54:17 PM)
*she looks between them, ending up with Bastian, shrugging* Whatever you decide is fine. It's not like we're moving to Colorado or something.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:54:52 PM)
I hear Breckenridge is fine this time of year Mark... *Smiling.*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:55:21 PM)
*chuckles* We could move back to West Virginia.. hear they have a really good football team this year..
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:55:41 PM)
Above average... not really good...
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:55:41 PM)
*she frowns, rolling her eyes, but keeps her mouth shut about that one*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:57:38 PM)
*He squeezes her to him a little.* We'll have to move back into the Gym until we find a new packhouse.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 9:58:12 PM)
*looking at Elise* Which is something we would really need your help with.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 9:58:57 PM)
What about Sven? *reaching to put her glass down*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:00:32 PM)
*looks at the pair wondering what she means*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:01:20 PM)
I can probably put him up at the Budget Lodge for a month or so. Or he can stay at the Gym like planned and you and I can find a little place to rent short term.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:02:16 PM)
*her head tilts to one side, not saying anything a few moments* And where is this packhouse supposed to be?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:02:49 PM)
*shrugs* We really hadn't gotten to far in the discussion ya know... specifics wise that is.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:05:21 PM)
Honestly, we had gotten to, "This is bullshit, we should bail together bro". Everything after that is, well, just brainstorming.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:06:18 PM)
*she nods again, sitting back once more*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:09:27 PM)
I'm thinking we could aid some kinfolk project in the City. Claim the area around it as our protectorate and then find a packhouse nearby to use as a base of operations. Old warehouse, or firehouse or something?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:11:14 PM)
What project?
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:14:04 PM)
Not sure. Perhaps you could help us find some project that needs a pack to help keep it safe from crime and such?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:15:14 PM)
And when are we talking about moving? This week?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:15:59 PM)
*excuses himself to go into the kitchen and grab some fruit from the fridge while he talks to her about this*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:16:42 PM)
As soon as convenient. I do not want to be in the way as the pack tries to move on.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:19:20 PM)
*she nods again* And how are you going to handle the no central air and heat deal at the gym? You can't freeze out your customers.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:21:52 PM)
Mark. This is why we find Mates smarter than us... *He smiles.* What do you think about camping on the roof?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:23:10 PM)
*she looks at Bastian, her jaw dropped open a little, before she snaps it shut*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:24:37 PM)
Maybe find a cabin for rent then?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:25:00 PM)
So what are you guys talking about you can't have central air or heating?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:25:15 PM)
*she shakes her head slowly* I don't think we can waste money on renting something if we have to have money to buy a warehouse.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:25:52 PM)
I promised a Fire Spirit that I would only heat my home with open flame.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:26:08 PM)
For how long?
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:26:13 PM)
Yes
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:28:41 PM)
Yes what? *shaking her head again, confused*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:30:29 PM)
He asked how long, I said yes, as to mean forever.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:30:45 PM)
What did you get in return for this?
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:30:59 PM)
I'll never fear any flame.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:33:36 PM)
*she looks between them before her gaze drifts to the silent SportsCenter*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:34:28 PM)
Hmm so your gonna have to figure that out huh...
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:35:04 PM)
Not too hard brother. Just need a fireplace in our room.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:35:26 PM)
Technically the Air Conditioning would not be a problem.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:38:10 PM)
So I can set up some tents for ya guys out back you can use the firepit to heat em *grins*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:39:41 PM)
*she keeps watching the tv*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:41:35 PM)
Well, depending on the hospitality of Apollo, I don't think it will be a imminent need. We can take a few days to figure out what we need to do. But, thank you for the offer.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:43:32 PM)
Excuse me. *she pulls Bastian's arm away to get up, heading for the front door, pulling her cellphone out of her pocket on the way*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:44:02 PM)
*He watches her trying to read her.* Of course love...
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:44:48 PM)
*looks at Bastian* She doesn't seem as keen on the idea as I thought.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:47:02 PM)
*she puts the phone to her ear and walks outside, closing the front door behind her*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:50:11 PM)
She's worked hard making our cabin a home. And surely she views this as much of a failure as I do. The worst is she probably feels like she has no say in the matter. And now the family she has been working on with Kira and Jessie is well, null. Under those circumstances, I think she is taking it quite well.

Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:52:46 PM)
I can understand that, but would you be happy if you remained there?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:53:18 PM)
*is out front, talking on her cellphone*
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 10:55:03 PM)
(just lurking for now, working on work laptop)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 10:56:36 PM)
*He shrugs a little.* Everything that I had planned revolved around that place brother. Everything. It was to be an example of the way a pack should live. Elise bought into my plan and has helped with every step of it. She's upset. But, she won't make a fuss. I imagine we will talk late into the night though.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 10:58:25 PM)
*Nods* I can understand where you wanted to go with it, hell thats why I joined in the first place, but things didn't work out that way. Honestly if I left alone I don't think that they would return to normal too much damage was done by Eyes not just to me but to everyone else. Dragonfly's failure to answer your call already says that she has withdrawn her support doesn't it?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:01:30 PM)
*she slides the phone shut after the call and checking her messages, moving back to the front door and opening it to go back inside*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:01:36 PM)
The logic behind it does not make the pill any less bitter to swallow brother.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:03:27 PM)
*nods* Well you know I will do what I can to help.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:05:57 PM)
*she walks back over to the couch and picks up her water to have some more*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:09:17 PM)
*He sips his water.* That's how it goes brother. We take care of our own. I'll tell you if there is anything we need help with.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:10:03 PM)
*she looks down at Bastian, and then sits down beside him on the couch*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:10:21 PM)
So if you have to have your house heated by open flame does that mean a new packhouse is gonna need a large fireplace?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:16:53 PM)
.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:16:55 PM)
*she works on her water steadily till it's gone, leaning forward to put the glass down again*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:17:01 PM)
(k wasn't sure if I was ghosting)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:17:14 PM)
I think, once we find a space, Elise and I can quarter off a section of the packhouse for our abode. That will suffice to oblige the fire spirits.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:19:33 PM)
Well if it was necessary I suppose I could sell my house to help pay for a new place.. if we got a old warehouse it would be big enough or a old fire house it would already have a kitchen and living area in it.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:23:31 PM)
*she finally speaks up* Let's not put the cart before the horse. One, you don't have a enough for a pack yet. Two, you don't have a project to protect, and three, we need to see where that is before we start worrying about the logistics of fireplaces or lack thereof.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:25:47 PM)
*He smiles at Elise.* I love you...
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:25:50 PM)
Yes we will need a third to form a pack under a totem, but that does not mean that we should wait to find a suitable place to house the pack. The entire city need protecting yes we would like an area that the Kin have a need for protection be they our own or those affiliated with the sept in some way.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:26:20 PM)
Well you need to wait until I find something for you to protect.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:27:00 PM)
I mean you charged me with that, after all, didn't you? *quirking an eyebrow at Mark*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:29:28 PM)
*looks at Bastian and grins a bit* That seems to have got her talking finally. Yes Elise that is a task that is set to you, find a suitable place for us to protect and call home.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:30:21 PM)
*she shakes her head, frowning, getting up and carrying her empty glass to his kitchen without further invitation*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:31:50 PM)
If you have something you would like to say Elise I would rather you get it out now.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:32:14 PM)
*the water just starts running*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:37:25 PM)
*she comes back several minutes later, with another glass of water halfway gone*
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:42:57 PM)
(kk, wrapping up work in a few minutes)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:43:16 PM)
*He smiles at Elise.* Well brother. I think I need to go home and think about the next step. I am sure that the decission made tonight is going to have ripples.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:43:19 PM)
*watches Elise wondering what is going on in her head at the moment he then looks at Bastian* So any suggestions on a third?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:43:45 PM)
*nods* I understand I will see you guys later I am sure.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:43:56 PM)
*she had been moving towards Mark, perhaps to say something, but when they go on she stops, by the tv again, finishing her drink*
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:44:25 PM)
*looks at Elise and waits quietly for what she was going to say*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:44:37 PM)
*she's watching tv again and misses the look*
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:45:10 PM)
None right now brother. I will keep my eye out.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:45:19 PM)
Elise, you were going to add something?
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:46:02 PM)
*she shakes her head, moving to get Bastian's glass and then carrying them both to the kitchen for Mark*
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:48:47 PM)
*she returns again, empty handed, looking to Bastian and waiting for him being ready to go*
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:49:41 PM)
(soooo, should I not come in yet?)
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:49:42 PM)
(lol)
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:49:57 PM)
*He nods to Mark.* Alright brother. *He offers his hand.* Lots of work to do, again. We'll work out specifics as we get more information.
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:49:58 PM)
(You can come in whenever you want)
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:50:37 PM)
*nods shaking the hand* Yeah we do.
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:50:47 PM)
*she takes his hand, getting her keys out of her pocket with her free one*
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:51:15 PM)
::Kaia walked through the front door, a paper bag in hand, as she moved through the door, wearing jeans and her hoodie::
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:52:33 PM)
*Hearing the front door open behind him he looked over his shoulder at Kaia and offered her a smile then looked back at the couple infront of him*
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:53:22 PM)
::she smiles, waving to everyone with her free hand, her smiles fades slightly as she glances over everyone:: Did I miss something important?
Mark Renner (Dec 17, 2010 11:53:58 PM)
*looks at Kaia* Yeah but I will tell you about it over dinner.
Bastian Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:54:17 PM)
*He takes Elise's hand and waves to Kaia.* Yes, but, I am sure Mark can fill you in.
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:54:45 PM)
Mmm, how do you know it's for you? ::raising a brow to Mark, but she looks to B and E:: I.. okay. ::she leans in to hug E gently:: Hey you..
Elise Schmitz (Dec 17, 2010 11:55:11 PM)
*softly, giving a bit of a hug back* Hey.
Kaia Skaare (Dec 17, 2010 11:58:11 PM)
(whew, that's one long day. 7:45am-9pm)
