Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:01:24 PM)
(Nascha, how much silver?)
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:04:48 PM)
The location that would host the Red Iron Bridge at some point in the future was currently a pair of dry hills in the otherwise swampy bayou. Currently there was a crude circular earthen hut built low to the ground, however the entrance was such that Yama Kaze would need to crouch down or shift to lupus form to enter. Inside there was a hole in the cieling and crudely cured animal hides for flaps. There was a semi-circle on the opposite hill from the small earthen dwelling. The two hills are seperated by a quickly running, swollen tributary river roughly thirty-five or fourty feet wide at this point. The semi-circle was picked out by training staves that were planted into the relatively flat hilltop. A burnt leafless oak husk and a towering living oak provided the anchor points atop each hill. The burnt splintered oak tree was beside the semi-circle.
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:05:47 PM)
Yama Kaze was currently standing beside the small earthen dwelling. Casting a wary eye about to see whom would be coming, if they journeyed through the physical world. Occasionally, Yama would 'peek' into the Umbra.
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:07:00 PM)
[Minimal, a few conches interspersed with copper ones on her belt, a couple rings and bracelets. I should edit that to be clearer now that I can.]
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:07:32 PM)
(*nod*)
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:09:03 PM)
*Lobo slipped out of the shadows. Her little form looking almost completely black in the middle of the night. Her golden eyes looking doe-like even without a moon to illuminate the sky. Her nose touched at the ground, sniffing it some while removed from Yama.*
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:09:47 PM)
Nascha was curious about how things were going with Yama now that he's established himself a proper pack, and hobbles out the way she'd been directed when she'd inquired of the guardians where she might find the monstrous Gazer.
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:15:59 PM)
BC had made his way out into the swamp, taking care to not sink into the water from time to time, though eventually after his boots sunk in the mud for the last straw he shifted down to lupus, and began louping along towards the packhouse
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:17:37 PM)
He looked over Nascha and Lobo as they approached. His hideous features splitting into a toothy grin at the sight of the wolf and kin. He gestures with one scaled hand to the immediate surroundings. "Welcome home." He stated plainly once BC had joined the newly arrived group. While they may not have come together he knew there would be time for introductions and instructions soon enough. Anyone who knew the stargazer could immidietely identify the shrill whistling sound coming from inside the earthen hut.
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:20:07 PM)
"Ya'at'eeh, brother." She smiles pleasantly, glancing to the others who were also approaching the hut with a nod of acknowledgement for each.
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:23:03 PM)
*Her hackles raised in light of the stranger. Lobo kept her distance and at least Yama or Bee See between them. Her lupin nose scanning Nascha's trail to perhaps discern what beast she was (in more ways than one)*
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:25:22 PM)
Whatever Nascha was, she was clearly of Uktena's brood. She hobbles with the aid of a well-cared-for walking stick of a strange wood, her left leg twisted oddly despite her attempts to walk properly.
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:26:32 PM)
He looked over towards Lobo for a moment and then looks back to Nascha, shifting up to homid to tap her on the shoulder, "Do you have some silver on you dear? Do you mind if we set it aside for a time? Its agitating Lobo..." he gave an apologetic smile
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:27:19 PM)
"Ya'at'eeh, little one." A wave to Nascha, and he gestured for the two wolves and the kin to enter the hut at their leisure. His eyes shimmering like twin chips of molten gold in the dim darkness of the deep bayou in the evening as he spoke to be heard above the whistling sound. "The tea is ready as well. Though I daresay human-like forms will be required for polite consumption and conversating. Nascha Ooljee of the Uktena tribe, this is an honor to introduce two of my packmates- Bad Company and Loco Lobo."
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:30:04 PM)
*Lobo bore her teeth in an agressive smile. Nascha's limp must have spurned her on. Lobo kept some distance but scooted right into the hut so long as no one stopped her. Her tail high and wagging with a full bristle.*
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:31:09 PM)
She looks BC's way when he drew her attention to her jewelry. She nods slightly, removing her belt and various little pieces, wrapping them in her shawl.
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:33:44 PM)
He would wait without for anyone who was going in after Lobo. The flap to the earthen hut swaying with the kinetic force from the recent movement past it and into the inside.
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:33:45 PM)
He holds out his hands for the shawl and gave a short bow, moving off to set it upon a stump nearby, placing his jacket over it to keep from prying eyes of any birds in the area. Returning he smiled to her and held the fur aside for her to enter
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:37:04 PM)
She nods to BC, smiling pleasantly as she shuffle along into the hut with the boys, taking a moment to look over the interior,
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:38:16 PM)
*lobo was already curled up inside. Her human knees drawn up to her chest with bruised fingers holding them to her. Those feral eyes starting Nascha down when she finally entered. Her hair was wild and obviously hadn't seen a comb for three days. Her clothing was wrinkled and in a tailored men's style, a worker's shirt and a pair of polyester slacks.*
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:40:26 PM)
He comes back in and slips back down into lupus, moving over to Lobo and pushing his nose inbetween her body and her legs, barreling through to lounge on her with a slight smile.
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:40:26 PM)
Once everyone was in, Yama Kaze crouched, dwn, his homid form needing to crawl inside almost on all fours, but the domed cieing made his hunched walk not necessary. There was space for Yama Kaze to lay down on any side of the fire, but the cieling was too low for Yama to stand, even though it would support the standing of human-sized individuals. He half-crawled his way to a patch of dry earth and sat down on it, opposite of the doorway. The inside had a small dug-out firepit, over wich a tea-kettle was wailing like a siren steam pushing out. ABove them, the smoke holes(there were two) in the cieling revealed stars, clouds, and well, not much else. Aside from the battered and abused tea-set and cups/mugs, there was a bundle of dry, broken up wood of various sizes and a small 2 tier-shelf at what would be knee height for the average standing person. This shelf held just a few trinkets, mostly jars for tea and oddly enough a patch of crocodile hide and some sort of leathery strip that looked like tan skin. Bet
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:42:24 PM)
tween these two was a single canine, too elongated to be human, but too small to be Garou. This shelf was at Yama Kaze back. His scaled hands, once he was sitting, reached over the fire to pluck the teapot out. His scales giving off a sharp acrid scent as they seared ineffectually. No blisters for him! Gaia bless these scales sometimes. He began pouring the boiling tea into six cups. Placing two on a tray and then setting the others down before his guests with some more hunched shuffling movement before, once more. He sat back down before his own touch. The inside of the home smelled strongly of sandalwood, frankincense and myr.
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:46:11 PM)
*Lobo blinked some, unfolding naturally so the large, nearly pristine white wolf could use her as a couch. A small smile tugged at her human lips, showing only enough teeth that he could be assured it surely was a grin and not an aggressive action. The latina woman sunk down some, her nose burrying in his flank and neck, taking deep breaths of the musk that hid next to his skin.*
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:46:53 PM)
She leans her walking stick against a wall and knelt down beside Yama, contemplating the interior and the glimpse of sky above, quiet and contemplative.
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:49:08 PM)
He closed his eyes as he enjoyed the sense of family. Hurring gently against the warmth and eventually he openned his eyes when he saw that Yama had poured tea he smiled up to the huge man in thanks ~ws~ "Much thanks brother."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 8:53:12 PM)
He waved away Bad COmpanies thanks, ensuring that it was not required, though it was obvious he appreciated the sentiment of thankfulness. "Now then." he said, almost to himself as he settled in a bit more, his legs folded though he reclined back until his scaled hide was resting up aganst the wall. "We need to orient ourselves in a proper direction for our Sentai. I would like to put forward my reccomendation that ones date of birth and time of birth may aid in discerning the directions and elements predisposed towards each individual. A communicative experience that may aid us all in knowing more about one another."
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 8:56:46 PM)
He nods slightly, listening. His nostrils flaring occasionally around the smell of Lobo and the fragerant tea.
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 8:58:31 PM)
*She licked her lip some, giving Yama a long glance. She shrugged and shook her head, glancing outside for a long moment.* Doesn't know that... When I was born. Always little, always fuzzy yanno?
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 8:58:36 PM)
She waits till the others had their tea before she sips any of hers, holding it quietly in both hands and studying the curl of steam as it rose from the cup.
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:01:47 PM)
He had yet to pick up his teacup, instead allowing it to cool as he continued. "For example, by the matters of the Beast Courts, I was deemed a South-direction Air-element Heart Moon. My date of birth was Febuary second, and I was born in the twilight just before dawn."
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:04:11 PM)
~ws~ "Eastern -direction, water, Galliard moon... birth I don't know... as all my family's dead and the Fenrir didn't give me a date..." he shrugged gently.
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 9:07:47 PM)
Maybe... choose what is most fitting...?
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:15:54 PM)
He looked from Lobo to Nascha, and back again.
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 9:19:42 PM)
She sips her tea, looking contemplative as they spoke. When Yama looks her way, she smiles beatifically, nodding slightly without a word.
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 9:21:36 PM)
*Lobo reached for her cup, careful to avoid BC's snapping maw if he decided he should take hers away. The fragrant liquid taking control of her senses, and causing her to sip some at it.*
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:23:54 PM)
He remained still, allowing her to move and do as she will. His nostrils continued to flare as he took in the mingling scents of the tea, his companions and the house around them
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:24:10 PM)
"Well then... I'll look into it." Though he sounded disappointed for some reason. Who knew why? He lifted and sipped at his tea as he changed topics. "We must begin umbral reconnissance of the city. To locate an area that has sufficent infestation of banes to begin moderating through application of force should it be discerned the battlefield and conditions are optimal for us as a pack."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:24:14 PM)
"Any suggestions?"
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:25:12 PM)
He thought for a long moment ~ws~ "Burbon street... probably plenty in that area with all the lowlifes and drinkers wandering about..."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:25:43 PM)
"I'm not familiar with the area. I have yet to wander much of New Orleans."
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:27:40 PM)
He nods slightly ~ws~ "Drinkers, gamblers, strippers.... its an area of debauchery mostly...I would think that some banes might go there to feed or do what banes do..."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:32:46 PM)
"Very possible." he looked to Nascha. "What do you know of this 'Burbon Street'?"
Loco Lobo (Jan 6, 2011 9:33:12 PM)
(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 68.110.7.242)
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:33:58 PM)
He shrugs, "Its a main area for where there are festivals, bar for drinking... strip clubs where people watch women debase themselves... you know... the usual thing you'd see in a den of theives and horny people..."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:34:43 PM)
"No greater Hive of Scum and Villainy, you say? I've heard that somewhere before..."
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 9:35:00 PM)
She shakes her head as she lifts her head to glance Yama's way. "It is noisesome and crowded."
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:35:35 PM)
He chuffs a laugh ~ws~ "I wouldn't be surprised... though its not as crowded in the umbra... though I'd imagine with such an old history as this place there might be spirits lingering about of the dead..." he shrugged his shoulders.
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:36:26 PM)
"I am unfamiliar with the Yin Realms. I was under the impression only those of Owls Tribe have any dealings with the Departed Spirits of Non-Garou."
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:40:50 PM)
He shrugs, "Dunno... but here away from the Middle Kingdom we do have spirits that wander the umbra... and occasionally the physical realm."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:41:23 PM)
"Well. So be it." He responded simply.
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:43:40 PM)
He nods to Yama, ~ws~ "It'll be hard enough... though I'm sure there's a few things here and there we can clear out..."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:46:05 PM)
"Nascha, Do you feel there is anything you can do to help make this small hut a home for the pack? I could assist in the construction of alternate shelter for whomever was interested or what ideas you may have for the necesscities of any Kin whom find themselves associated and attached to the pack."
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 9:49:38 PM)
She shakes her head, blinking back into the here and now. She looks around the hut and nods slowly. "Of course, brother. Anything you require."
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:54:31 PM)
(I'm thinking this scene has lost it's steam. I'll be on Skype if needed.)
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:54:42 PM)
(*nods*)
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 9:55:22 PM)
[Sorry, I been deflated for weeks now]
Yama Kaze (Jan 6, 2011 9:55:30 PM)
(Same.)
Nascha Ooljee (Jan 6, 2011 9:55:49 PM)
[*Hugs* aww[
Bad Company (Jan 6, 2011 9:56:12 PM)
