Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:05:45 PM)
(Hrm, am I going to need my book for this scene?)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:06:31 PM)
((I don't see why in particular....I can lay out rolls if needed))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:07:57 PM)
(I just don't have my jump drive out right now, it's packed since I fly back to Utah tomorrow. Aight. So Caid is looking to step into the umbra near Fawn's home. Two reasons, he wants to learn Spirit speech so he can stay on good terms with the spirits near them since the pack has no theurge.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:08:50 PM)
((what spirit are you seeking, AND how does Caid mean to get past the communication issue?))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:10:25 PM)
(well, he's going to wing it. Caid's country to the core, he's going to try and find a way when the problem presents itself - so he'll start with maybe water spirits, possibly tree or woods spirits since they do technically live in the bayou's near raceland.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:11:08 PM)
((this is going to be.......interesting.))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:11:43 PM)
(ROFL. I will be in New Orleans tomorrow waiting for my plane. I love that dirty filthy little town. yeah. It should be very interesting.)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:12:57 PM)
*Caid walked out the back door, looked up at the moon, streeeetched, and closed the door behind him. Fawn knew where he was headed, so he turned and walked into the pole shed and silently stepped sideways, looking up at the moon in the spirit world before he slowly set out towards the nearest woods - which was of course not far away at all...*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:14:28 PM)
*Caid is umbral and searching the reflection closest to Fawn's home. He finds that the some of the far older trees have a glade child presense, most seem to be slumbering or near so, a pretty common condition with tree spirits, but one of the younger spirits seems curious enough to be animated (for a tree), other options is well, there is a sqirrel spirit, looking down nervously before it darts from tree to tree...otherwise sort of quiet. Though Caid might not know it, it's actually a pretty good sign to even have that much spirit activity in the area*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:15:13 PM)
((your totem is Fox?))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:16:51 PM)
(yes sir.) *caid smiled and moved toward the young glade child... oh, he did NOT dismiss the squirrel, but that skittish creature may be something he has to befriend only afterr he's got spirit speech in his bag of tricks. In the meantime, the tree couldn't run away... so he approached slowly and in homid, hands visible, and spoke softly* Friend spirit....
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:16:59 PM)
((I'm a she))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:17:12 PM)
(yes ma'am!)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:18:44 PM)
*The spirit manifests a face and eyes, studying Caid...and he hears the following: *sway, creek, creek, sway, leaf flutter, leaf flutter, sway*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:19:27 PM)
*creek*
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:19:41 PM)
*He sighed* I need to learn spirit speech... I need to learn so I may know what the land needs here... how am I going to do that friend spirit...
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:20:02 PM)
(*Facepalm* Totem. Durh. stupid James is Stupid.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:20:06 PM)
*the spirit just stares at you with greenish eyes looking confused*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:20:39 PM)
((Light bulb goes on? I was going to throw that out there after watching you torture yourself a bit))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:20:46 PM)
*in his head* Friend Fox, I need help....
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:20:58 PM)
(You ever see Scott Pilgrim Versus the World?)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:21:06 PM)
((Yes I have :D))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:21:35 PM)
(I suddenly feel like the part where Scott realizes Ramona slept with the blond girl and the sneedle swings from Clueless to Gets it.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:23:20 PM)
((have you sunk totem points in where the totem always understands you or knows where to find you?))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:24:01 PM)
(we have like two totem points available to spend I believe... what would it cost to buy that up?)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:24:37 PM)
(I intend to spend some XP on pack link anyway, and to make it so the totem can always hear and communicate with us...)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:25:06 PM)
(I'd be in the forum lookign it up but I'ms till waiting for the forum to load, the interwebs here are SLOW)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:26:09 PM)
((Now how was fox portrayed for your pack before? Was the spirit named? Personality traits?))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:27:30 PM)
(Okay, GG ran Fox as a kind of sly, atavistic little guy who nicknamed us - he refers to caid as "Boxy". Mirthful but not warm, fast, clever, nigh invisible, but friendly enough since we helped him evade some banes and killed them nicely.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:31:32 PM)
*suddenly the fox spirit's head appears out of a bush, his red tail twitching* gs What? I was enjoying your productive conversation with a tree. *the spirit is 5 feet away and you had no clue*
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:33:33 PM)
*He looooked at the Fox, and grinned* Much more subtle than me. I approve and picked wisely. *He set down on the ground and smiled up at the tree* Fox... will you teach me how to speak to spirits? The gift of spirit speech? Our pack has no Theurge, and someone needs to be able to do this to take care of our lands and speak to the spirits that we are blessed to have dwell near to us...
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:34:12 PM)
*He smiled* I'll bring you fresh mice to hunt and play with if it please ya...
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:34:51 PM)
*the foxes ears go back, it's small valpine teeth are visable, as it lays it's head on it's paws and thinks...*
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:36:15 PM)
*he chuckled* What is your favorite food, friend fox? I shall leave you a fresh meal in the woods within the week...
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:37:43 PM)
ws This isn't about food Boxy. It's about propriety. Mother Moon dictates certain auspices do certain things for a reason. An Ahroun asking for that gift is kinda like......a Rhino asking for roller skates? Funny to watch hell yeah, but what about the mess?
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:38:40 PM)
*the spirit communicates to you in a variant of wolf speech, it's sort of wierd, you had to get used to it, but figuring your totem is a Fox, and well....it's a distant cousin of a wolf, rather distant, it's canid at least...the animal mannerisms are similiar enough you get the idea*
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:39:28 PM)
*He laughed* I'm not trying to *be* a godi... a Theurge.. I can't. But someone among us should be able to speak to the spirits. Amara could, she's level headed, and so could Keith... but you KNOW Keith being our spirit liason? Bad idea... I don't want to bind them, or summon them to my needs and purposes...
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:40:49 PM)
ss Awwww watching the Fang be your spirit mediator would be funny as hell. Again a mess for different reasons but amusing. *that sly look, would Fox really do that?*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:40:54 PM)
(ws)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:42:21 PM)
*caid nodded* It would be funny as hell but it would... ultimately not make us very clever now would it? I just need to be able to communicate. *he rubbed his chin, the classic "Caid is thinking" gesture, what was Fox looking for...*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:44:00 PM)
ws Yes yes......not that clever. The Fang needs more education before he'd be ready for .......things. *again that sly look* As a temporarily solution you probably have the best idea. But I think this price is a bit beyond a snack. You have work to do.
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:45:19 PM)
*He held up a thumb* What would you have of me Fox?
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:45:33 PM)
I'm ready to get to work.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:46:41 PM)
ws Trappers enter the Bayou from time to time. See humans have no tails. A tragic oversight of the Mother I am sure. So they hunt us sexy Foxes for ours. They use snare traps. Nasty things, strangle a poor fox as they run by. Theres a few places I'm going to share. No need to cause an incident by scaring hunters or beating on humans. Thats more the Rhino way of charging in. Instead, just remove of spoil the trap. Or....maybe let them find a skunk in one alive? something fun. Something clever. Do this.....and you got your gift.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:47:46 PM)
*the fox preens his tail* ws At least garou can shift into something sensible. But humans....tail envy horrid I tell you.
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:47:47 PM)
*he grinned* I'd say a Gator... that might be REALLY interesting...
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:48:31 PM)
ws Ooooh I do have to guide you a bit but once I get you thinking you can come up with nice ones.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:49:10 PM)
ws So you promise to take care of the snares?
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:49:15 PM)
*He chuckled* no tail envy in me. *He clasped his hands before his knees* I just may have to head down to La Place, there's a guy down there raises gators, i can tie one up, take him out, leave him there for our trappers to find...
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:49:24 PM)
I will. I'm going to have some fun with this.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:49:58 PM)
ws OK you big Boxy rhino thing of an Ahroun...take a sensible shape so I can teach you.
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:50:41 PM)
*He chuckled and shifted into his lupus form, then looked up to the glade child and back to Fox* Thank you, friend fox...
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:52:38 PM)
*the fox looks into your eyes, and then he bores past that, you get dizzy and sort of a swimming sensation as cat-slit golden fox eyes bore into yours, and then it just sort of comes to you, you hear the tree spirit again, and then REALLY hear it*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:52:56 PM)
Tree: ss What does man-wolf want? Just sat there making noise.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:53:19 PM)
Fox: ss Fullmoon has much to learn pay it no mind.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:53:40 PM)
*the fox then breaks eye contact , grinning that canine grin*
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:54:07 PM)
Tree: ss OK I have wind to dance with.
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:54:18 PM)
SS: Man-wolf is here to learn from spirits.....*The wolf looked back to the glade child* I was seeking wisdom of spirits.
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:54:53 PM)
*Wolf smile at Fox and Glade Child* I am grateful, friend fox. Show me where hunter's traps lie....
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:55:07 PM)
*the Fox looks smug* ss It's a start, just try not to piss the locals off OK?
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:55:19 PM)
ss At least talk to theurges about basics of what not to do.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:55:35 PM)
*the fox looks at you* ss Think about the traps you already know.
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:55:56 PM)
*indeed as you think on it, you can see the locations in your mind, whatever fox did to teach you the gift had interesting effects*
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:56:25 PM)
*Caid stood up and turned south, toward Bayou La Fourche* i see....
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:56:44 PM)
(Do I need to make rolls or can I just blue book for that?)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:57:22 PM)
((bluebook is fine, just for an out of auspice gift I had to make chiminage slightly expensive....months on end of messing with snares until hunters give up is what you signed up for))
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:57:47 PM)
((though with the Gator that might be a matter of weeks hehehe))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:58:06 PM)
(Hey, as long as Foxy doesn't mind me spending time at the sept on guard then making a run every three or four days to lace traps...)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:58:08 PM)
((When you do XP request, cite me as having run the scene FOR you. Also detail chiminage))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:58:16 PM)
(I figure a few of them will realllly be interesting...)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:58:40 PM)
((The totem would understand sept duties))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:58:40 PM)
(You got it. I'll be putting it in there probably late tomorrow when I ge thome and back to my cable internet instead of this damn satellite noise.)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 10:59:06 PM)
(Thanks kindly for the scene! I doubt I'll ask for another out of auspice gift - but yeah, with no Theurge, we do kinda need this...)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:59:11 PM)
((And Foxy well...he thinks he just let the Bull into the china shop))
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 10:59:42 PM)
((Ahrouns with theurge powers is to the spirit like trying to hammer a nail with a jackhammer))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 11:00:31 PM)
(Naw. Caid's not a Theurge, so he's going to use this sparingly and carefully as he can... he's angry with the rage, but he's got good common sense.)
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 11:01:53 PM)
((hehehe...your the Rhino with roller skates))
Windseeker (May 24, 2011 11:02:31 PM)
((Well have fun....I'm going to log this in the STs do things thread and do stuff))
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 11:02:46 PM)
(More like the guy trying to kill flies with a sledge hammer instead of a fly swatter...)
Caid Younger (May 24, 2011 11:02:57 PM)
(thanks! I do appreciate it!)
