OK Loco Lobo, we know theres some pending issues Ghostlin needs to deal with. You are welcome to be in this scene, just realize the end results of whether you are packed or not will depend on your PCs status once that is settled.

alright..

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:25:49 PM)
Kk

Grandmother Hilma (Jan 4, 2011 10:27:29 PM)
*She awaits your pack at the outdoor rituals circle she has set up somewhere in the bawn back behind the Barricks buildings. Hilma is an older Native American woman, shes dessed in a ankle length cotton skirt, and blouse, medicine pouch around her neck. For all her age her eyes are still shrewd, and she has a subtle sort of power about her.*

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:29:02 PM)
Yama Kaze, Loco Lobo, Bad Company and Abigail Wainwright wuld be heading as a group over to see Grandmother Hilma. When theya rrived. Yama Kaze would lower his gaze respectfully and speak to the Grandmother. "Mistress of the Rite. We wish to beseech your aid in uniting us as a new pack beneath a totem that would have us."

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:29:22 PM)
BC fell in behind Yama as he approached Hilma, bearing throat to her to show reverence, dressed in his usual biker garb with katana hanging from his belt

Grandmother Hilma (Jan 4, 2011 10:30:57 PM)
Humm.....packs strengthen the Nation. This is good. *she takes out an old ceremic bowl with painted glyphs on it. You may realize they are the glyphs for all tribes, it's very old so even the Gazer glyph is still upon it. She takes out some leaves from a nearby pouch and begins to chew them*

Grandmother Hilma (Jan 4, 2011 10:31:49 PM)
*she then spits the chewed mass into the bowl, and adds some small bit of water...she mixes the mass up with a pestel*

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:32:29 PM)
Gently he kneels before Hilma, awaiting the annointing of the paste.

Grandmother Hilma (Jan 4, 2011 10:33:15 PM)
Ah....one who is familiar with this rite. That helps. *she comes over and dabs the paste over Bad Company's eyes, and then beckons, doing the same with the other pack members as they step forward*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:33:38 PM)
*Lobo was in her usual lupus form. The surprisingly small frame shadowing Yama Kaze and stepping to the side as he bowed. Dark paws stretched forward to emit her belly to the ground, with her shoulder pointed to Hilma and her nose burried between where her wrists would be, she was obviously avoiding contact. A smile of teeth just hidden under her lips.*

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:33:53 PM)
He remains kneeling after the annointing, keeping his eyes closed.

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:34:31 PM)
He kneels besides Hilma also.

Grandmother Hilma (Jan 4, 2011 10:35:38 PM)
*she mutters a chant for a short bit and then speaks again* Step across to the spirit world, be vigilant for signs left by the spirits. Though many seek the patronage of one, remember it is the spirits that choose. Respect whichever may find your pack and purpose most worthy.

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:36:57 PM)
He bows his head respectfully to Hilma, "Thank you rhya..." and vanishs as he slips sideways into the umbra. Finally opening his eyes and standing, looking around for his family to join him.

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:37:19 PM)
He slides across the gauntlet with practicied fluidity, gesturing for Lobo to follow them.

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:39:10 PM)
*Lobo glanced at Yama, then to the Silver Fang that joined them. Her hesitation existed only in her wariness to join them and ended abruptly as the wolf bled like water through a screen into the umbral landscape. Lobo touched down instantly, her eyes intent on the others. Despite a history of failures, Totem Rites were actually fairly happy memories. Lobo's tail rose slightly, wagging slowly in the spirit's wind.*

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:39:56 PM)
He glanced about the umbra, searching the scents rifting across the umbral winds.

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:41:08 PM)
*The Umbral bawn is a slightly more vivid reflection of the earthside. What buildings the estate has are old enough to be reflected, though only the manor house with any firm definition. Trees are reflected growing vibrant and strong, the forest and swampland around the bawn show vitality. Above you the umbral sky shines with stars brighter than even the unblighted night country sky.*

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:41:32 PM)
He closed his eyes once more and openned his senses, his umbral form was covered in tiny bubbles of light, they neither moved nor burst. He reached into his inner wolf and then opened his eyes, smells, sights and sounds coming to him quickly

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:42:25 PM)
They are in the Umbra. Kaze looking for any sig of totemic involvement thus far...

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:44:00 PM)
(guh... guys.. I'm gonna have to head out...)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:44:04 PM)
*You see the rites circle, if you look at the ground carefully you see glyphs...on the edges of the circle...wards perhaps?*

Bad Company (Jan 4, 2011 10:44:06 PM)
(gotta get ready for work...)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:44:12 PM)
((You'll miss the fun but I'll keep going))

*The area has the background noise of insects and living things*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:45:27 PM)
*Lobo broke from Yama's side, her night vision having picked up on these strange markings. Her nose moved to investigate, touching the ground as delicately as possible so as not to disturb these fragile road signs.*

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:45:59 PM)
((the glyphs are just protective wards Hilma has in place just in case a summoning goes wrong LoL))

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:46:07 PM)
He strolled over to stand beside Lobo. Looking over the ritual circle before casting his glance back into the umbral distance.

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:47:02 PM)
*A sound above that of insects is heard....that of running water?*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:47:07 PM)
-ws- Is moon-dark. *She commented moving away after having taken note of the wards. Her eyes flowed now to the woods, her nose following shortly after. The wolf in her yerned for those safe and private confines.*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:47:22 PM)
-ws- Snake-Father....

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:47:28 PM)
((what?))

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:48:26 PM)
Yama Kaze slid into his breed form smoothly. His amber eyes looking out across the umbralscape as the echoing yuff of his wolf speech was lifted to Loco Lobo's ears. -Ws- ~Perhaps~

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:51:02 PM)
-ws- Go go... *Lobo urged with a chomp of her fangs all too close to Yama's side. Her playful demeanor fighting to free itself from a harsh realism nature. Or was it vice versa? Lobo started some steps forward into the velvetine glades. Eager to be away from the Plantation house, and the works of men.*

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 10:53:48 PM)
*Well it isn't long before you come to a stream, it's a nice brook, running water, some vegitation around it....it flows towards the South*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:56:18 PM)
*Lobo scented the ground here, circling contentedly in this glade. She made little noise and checked their rear, but otherwise enjoyed the sound of the water. She licked her lips softly, eyes turning to Yama cautiously.*

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 10:57:23 PM)
He looked towards the stream. He reptilian form ached to slide beneath the soothing cool waters and drift along the currents. Yet he did not. Looking to Lobo then to the stream, his gaze followed it south. -WS- ~Come. Close now.~

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 10:58:38 PM)
-ws- is sea. Where source?

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:03:00 PM)
(G2g in 10.)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:03:17 PM)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:03:21 PM)

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:04:25 PM)
(Yeah, sadly)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:04:41 PM)
((well if I have to do this the short way, give me a per+enigmas roll diff 7 both of you...I hate rushing these things, you lose alot of flavor but OK))

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:04:53 PM)
(We'll set up a scene for flavor timez.)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:05:43 PM)

*You follow the maze of streams into the swamp, you follow the convoluted swamp paths into a bog proper, you follow an intriqute maze which would drive other garou buggy until you stare at a deep pool of open water*

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:07:55 PM)
He helps guide Lobo, making sure to stick close, protectively over the young Garou he had under his tutelage. Upona rriving at the pool he would stare down into it. Looking over to Lobo, he tilted his head to the side, before looking back down into the water, staring at his own hideous reflection.

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:08:46 PM)
*suddenly a serpent rears up from the water, it has a cougar like head and antlers, it stays there glaring at you, it speaks the garou tongue or Aby translates* What do you seek?

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:08:58 PM)
*Lobo's ears flicked to the side, their velvetine triangles swiveling to take the sight in. She sat now, elegantly poised with her tail curled toward the front. With water all about, and even Yama in his scaled visage, Lobo seemed most at ease. Her eyes were star-ward for a time before she lowered her head, her glistening gold eyes penetrating the deeps...*

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:09:03 PM)
(Lobo has SS!)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:09:09 PM)
((blah hate rushing, there was going to be alot more to this but well cut to the chase due to time))

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:10:40 PM)
~GS~ "I seek the Wisdom of Warfare from you, Uktena. I bring you the offering of knowledge of my people and the esoteric lores of the Hengyokai. I, Yama Kaze, deeded pariahs-Path, Heart Moon of Chimeras Brood beseech you to look upon the pack I have gathered in your honor, that you may bless us with your patronage, wise and mighty incarna!" He lowered his gaze respectfully from Uktena.

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:11:59 PM)
*This spirit was quite fearsome and even Lobo edged back slightly. Her ears drew hesitantly forward to drink up the rustling sound of the voice as it was meant to be heared. Lobo licked her nose with a soft whine, belly down and paws out in homage to this paternal spirit. Surely she knew of his brood, and the strength of it.*

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:12:10 PM)
Tell me now Gazer of the Stars one secret bit of lore I may not know.

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:16:02 PM)
*The great spirit seems more.....curious than anything, yet curiousity is probably good here, he probably wouldn't have shown himself if you hadn't caught his interest*

Yama Kaze (Jan 4, 2011 11:16:04 PM)
"My mother snapped my neck upon my birth, attempting to extinguish her shame. She dropped my body into the wet earth and left me there for the carrion feeders. My rage was strong, even then. I survived and was taken in by my Sensi. This is the tale of my joining the Stargazer tribe."

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:17:56 PM)
(I think I have some lore Uktena might like... though it's not 'lore')

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:18:14 PM)
(I guess, Lobo gets to be a galliard, and tell of an ancient tale...)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:18:21 PM)
(The reschedule gives me time to write it)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:18:33 PM)
((To be honest Loco if you are going to be using demon info IC at all you really need to request the lore for it or something.))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:18:50 PM)
(Not Demon Lore)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:19:03 PM)
((XP requests or something.....))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:19:09 PM)
(Because Demon is such a high powered game, we're all under the agreement we're pobably not sharing lores cross table)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:19:27 PM)
(not without ST permission from both sides at least)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:20:15 PM)
(I just wanted to put forward a diverent version of one of the pre-stories, maybe demon-flavored, but easily transferable to Werewolf)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:20:20 PM)
((That would be best. Then how are you using demon interaction to claim spirit knowledge IC? Like your instant guess about Uktena))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:20:23 PM)
(gives Uktena something to chew on)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:20:55 PM)
((Not that it's a hard one OOCily but....IC wise? Did kinda want to treat you.))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:20:57 PM)
(Lobo thought it was Shinjo, who is in his apocolyptic form, a naga-like man with horns and an affinity for water and nature)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:21:40 PM)
(Now, though, she realizes this spirit is obviously more enigmatic than Shinjo, and is possibly somehow... like... Serpent-Grandfather)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:21:55 PM)
((Right...demon interactions crossing over into your IC responses. That isn't a great thing))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:21:58 PM)
(Loco's got a lot of Enigmas, Rituals, and Occult)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:22:39 PM)
((This kinda thing can just get complicated real fast))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:22:49 PM)
(So say your point)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:25:18 PM)
((That even though you agreed with this Demon player not to lore swap, the moment you start using the info to color your IC interactions, I got a feeling my higher up STs will probably either want it reflected as lore on a sheet, OR won't like it too much. That sort of bleed over RP wise always seems to drag the venues together whether you mean it to or not.))

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:26:43 PM)
((As for the Uktena thing...not all that worried....so your PC knew it real fast....doesn't harm RP none. Just be careful with the Demon stuff))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:26:44 PM)
(It wasn't Demon lore in general though, it was Lobo's personal experiences with Zaebos (Shinjo). She is careful not to say much with any other company)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:26:54 PM)
(gotcha)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:28:08 PM)
((Am going to let the team know about the demon stuff though. As a precausion, maybe I'm just overly worried and they won't care. I don't know. I'm just a grunt.))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:28:57 PM)
(As far as I know, the HSTs of both venues communicated and are aware of Lobo and Shinjo)

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:29:45 PM)
(With a few exceptions... werewolves won't immediately frenzy when seeing them in apocolyptic form, but Lobo has a -1 difficulty to Frenzy instead)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:30:29 PM)
((to summarize this, you give offerings of knowledge, you woo Uktena and he takes you on....but I don't want to end the scene this way as it's lame. If your pack wants to put in XP Request for pack tags, be my guest, I'll back it. You'll have to do it that way because unfortunately I'm just a Narrator and don't have sheet access to add things.

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:31:04 PM)
(*nod* we intend to buy Totem also)

Giver of the Signs (Jan 4, 2011 11:31:08 PM)
((I DO want to reschedule a scene so we can do some flavor RP for Uktena taking you on....want to close out the scene))

Loco Lobo (Jan 4, 2011 11:31:20 PM)
(I'll let them know but it might be a good idea for you to FPM Yama also)
