*the old toyota POS pulls up nearby and parks*

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 9:33:42 PM)
His smile a faint grin, at the lose of the smoke. He pulled out a nother, lighting it and takign a drag. He looked at Sky, "Basil."

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 9:34:46 PM)
*in the shade and shadows of the trees, Samuel would step out of the umbra and look around, not sure what was going on and start to walk toward the camp.*

Sam Angelico (Oct 7, 2010 9:34:52 PM)
*She kept up sliding her hands in to the back pockets of her jeans, tugging her back pack a little higher and glanced around as they moved towards the source of the fire and music* So much for a couple six packs.

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:35:40 PM)
*looking around, he sighs and gets out of the car, looking at the swampy muck and trudging along towards the source*

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:35:49 PM)
*Craig was puttering downriver in a pirogue, why the hell not? He lived two blocks from the wharf at the crescent. Where in the hell he'd gotten an old wodden pirogue was anyone's guess, but the little Mercury pull start putted as he glided past the old camp's on the river banks in the afternoon....*

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:37:33 PM)
*She nods to Ryan, her attention drifting back towards the direction Raven had given her, the bird seemingly content to remain affixed to her shoulder as she continues to walk.* Nice to meet you, I wonder if we're about to crash someone's party.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 9:38:34 PM)
"I hope it's a good party, if we are," he smiled and continued on with the group.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:39:11 PM)
A rather serious expression had fallen over his features as they marched through the words. His perceptions shifted to gaze across the gauntlet and he found some comfort in seeing his totem cirling in the skies of the umbral landscape.

*She chuckles and sweeps her hair back over her shoulder it being entirely impossible to tell where her hair began and the bird ended, pausing for a moment in thought.* Maybe we should leave them to it, if it's a vision quest our arrival could ruin it.

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:41:00 PM)
*with a small prayer on his lips, he continues to walk along as his feet make little sucking noises in the sticky slime...*Baruck ata Adonai.... (2 suxx Primal Senses)

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:43:21 PM)
*The cool thing about the missippippi river is it's just dotted with wharfs, jettys, camps, old docks, you name it. Craig kept the little mercury at a quarter throttle which was quite enough to push the old boat along at three or four liesurely knots and he only occasionally had to watch for swell as a pilot or a tanker or a barge and tug passed... nothing went fast here, it wasn't a good place to do it, but a few dozen feet from the shore it was calm and easy to navigate....*

Sam Angelico (Oct 7, 2010 9:43:28 PM)
*she glanced over at Sky and shrugged lookng towards the fire* should we go back then? or do we want to crash ?

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 9:43:30 PM)
**All of you arrive in the area, and feel something that has not happened in New Orleans for a very long time. The gauntlet here is weak. Very weak. The spirits that live in the trees, the water, the air, they seem to be comiing alive. There's a magical feel to the place. A fire is burning unnaturally on a pool of water in the middle of the abandoned campsite*

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:44:36 PM)
*Craig blinks at the fire... he has no clue about the gauntlet, it's not in his milieu, but he turns the pirogue shoreward and putters on in to get a better look at this shit....*

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:44:50 PM)
*pauses, looking around* I knew it.

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:44:54 PM)
Too late. *She speaks gently to Sam, her eyes jumping with a very natural excitement as she breathes in deeply of the magic around her. Feeling something almost reverent about the place her voice drops to a hushed tone as her eyes drink in the surroundings.* Do you -feel- that?

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:44:58 PM)
His rather serious expression lightened, becoming a soft smile as he walked past the others towards the fire. When he spoke, he did so in that melodic language of primal yet simple notation. "You bless us with your presence, dream walkers."

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:45:11 PM)
( He's speaking Odu, the first tongue of spirits if anyone has it )

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 9:45:52 PM)
"That...is...trippy," he mumbled to himslef as he took a drag from the cig, and stared at the fire. He stood, taking in everything as he looked around.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:45:56 PM)
He paused, however, glancing to the strangers who seemed to be arriving more and more by the moment.

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:46:25 PM)
*Craig guided the boat up to the camp, found an old pier or piling, and tied off the little flat bottom boat before heaving himself up onto the old planks at the site and going to get a closer look....*

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:46:47 PM)
Oh hell....*noticing all the other people converging on the spot* Stop where you are. If thats....what I think it is....its very important...but also potentially very dangerous.

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:47:52 PM)
The Gates.

*Turning her face to the side she speaks quietly in navajo to the bird who gives a single caw before with a beat of it large winks it takes to flight and pushes itself up high into the air.*

*headlights in the distance were visible. spread far apart as if belonging to a large all-terrain vehicle. the lights made thier way carefully through the swamplands, it would take a few for them to actually arrive.*

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:48:16 PM)
The gates to where?

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:49:00 PM)
If you believe the legend? Hell. Or the Voodoo version of it, Guinee. Im hoping its just a shallowing forming.

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 9:50:11 PM)
*You all see the fire expand, the gauntlet falling through the area. The area around you, the industrial muck seems to fade away, the cars seem to fade away, the roads become overgrown. The place...looks like it did, 200 years ago. You watch as the place seems to slip back in time. you're at a Native American campsite, one of the few that managed to survive the french, the spanish, the smallpox and the measles.

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:50:57 PM)
Okay.... now I'm out of my element. Josh, bro, you wanna give me the real short version of what I need to NOT do here?

Sam Angelico (Oct 7, 2010 9:51:04 PM)
*She lifts her gaze which follows Skys bird for a long moment before she looks back over and at Ash. Hanging back, way back, this was not her thing by any sweep of the imagination. but she toyed with her cellphone in her back pocket. in the tall grass the tail of a cat occasionally visible behind or around her, but as things start to change, she shifts a little nervously from foot to foot* Fuck. Me.

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 9:51:07 PM)
*sam looks around scratching his head* well now.. this is interesting.

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:51:44 PM)
No thanks got a girl already. *he said absently to Sam while still watching Josh.*

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:51:58 PM)
In the weakning gauntlet, the abnormally large black crow totem spirit could be seen flickering in and out of existance in the sky. Ash smiled in awe as the environment reshaped itself around him. He shouldered off his leather jacket, revealing the tribal marked bones around his neck and the large black feather that denoted him as one blessed by the Crow.

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:52:12 PM)
Welll....we should be ok...I think. As long as we dont piss off any of the Loa...or whatever spirits or angels might be waiting on the other side. We're not likely to get permanently lost on the other side.

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:52:17 PM)
*A smile makes it's way onto her lips as she glances around the new environment in appreciation.* This probably isn't the time for that kind of thing anyway Sam. *She chuckles a soft warm sound.* Ever get the feeling that you just -should- be high?

Xander Sinclair (Oct 7, 2010 9:52:27 PM)
*a large black hummer, original civilian design, came to a park some distance away. heavy tinted windows, and a look of reinforcement in the armor and the frame. It remained quiet and silent in the distance*

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:52:47 PM)
Not likely to get permanently lost.... you fill me with upbeat enthusiasm Josh.

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 9:52:51 PM)
"Trippy," he listened to the conversations, he put out the cig and pulled a joint from his vest pocket. He placed it in his lips, unlit, "Just tell me to do anythign, if you want...otherwise I'm gonna watch, Crow."

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:53:25 PM)
If a sleeper accidentally wandered through...they could get lost. Forever. We have a better chance of getting back.*pauses* I think.

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:53:29 PM)
*She winks over to Craig and Josh as she hears their banter.* Hey you worry too much about the future all you end up doing is missing the moment.

Sam Angelico (Oct 7, 2010 9:53:30 PM)
*she paused for a moment a little as if she where some how praying for patience, then looked over at Sky with a faint nod* Some times more then others. * her dark eyes flicker over the camp and she sighed*

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:54:01 PM)
He nodded, glancing to Ryan from over his shoulder before he went back to regarding the changing environment. As if for some reason protective, he did take a few steps back towards Angelico, pausing once he was within arm's reach. He continued to watch the spirits of the land, awaiting a response if they meant to offer one.

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 9:54:05 PM)
*sam smiled as he leaned over to look into the fire water.*

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 9:54:08 PM)
**You can see the native tribe now as they come out to dance, some sort of gathering. A festival around a fire. The drumming, the dancing, the food. Celebration. There is something real here, Something wild. Something pure.

*a man of large stature exited from the driver's side, and scoped out the local area. A moment later, the tall thin man in his fresh clean suit stepped from the passengers side. The pair began a slow journey through the swamplands and up towards the group*

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:55:02 PM)
.

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:55:03 PM)
*looks around at the other people here* Are you all...aware? *glances back at the natives as the come out and nods* The origins of the festivals.

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 9:55:28 PM)
*looks to joshua and smiles* the umbra is a very.. chaotic place.

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 9:55:54 PM)
) Do the appearing natives seem to notice this mass gathering of strangely dressed people? )

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:56:03 PM)
Definately Horatio. *Still smiling she lets her head fall back once more and calls out in Navajo to the sky above, the large black Raven returning quickly to her.*

Sam Angelico (Oct 7, 2010 9:56:43 PM)
*She gave Josh a faint nod but her eyes where lifted and glued to the Native Americans, canting her head a little as she watched them begin to dance. Stepping a little closer to sky * seriously Horatio. Do you have a glimmer of whats going on ?

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 9:56:49 PM)
"Dude, don't harsh the party," he spoke, lighting up the joint. He took a hit, babyign the joint.

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:00 PM)
*Craig crossed his arms, watching, spirits were not his forte, so this was.... interesting....*

Xander Sinclair (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:04 PM)
*Xander finally stepped into the clearing, standing a few feet behind him was the large man in a suit, that some would recognize as Jacob. There was something odd about Xander however, oh... it might by the ancient claymore that was in a dated sheath on the back of his suit jacket that some had seen hanging in his office* Hope I'm not interupting ladies and gentlemen. *he smiled softly as he walked int he crowd, Acob staying along the outskirts*

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:13 PM)
(no, aishei)

Kaydence Phillips (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:34 PM)
Uhhhh...ok. *She also crossed her arms, tilting her head to the side slightly*

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:45 PM)
This is what we....and THEY....have been looking for....*slowly starts to move forward*

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:58:49 PM)
*Craig shook his head at Xander* not interupting....

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 9:59:03 PM)
They meaning who, the Technocrats?

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 9:59:07 PM)
*Her nose scents a familiar scent and she looks to Ryan before slipping a slim silver ciggarette case from her pocket and flicking it open to offer the contents to Sam.* That is a very wise man.

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 9:59:08 PM)
**As you all look at yourselves, and as the gauntlet continues to fall iin the area, you're transformed into people of that era. Some of you are priests, some creoles, some are landowners, some farmers*

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 9:59:40 PM)
*looks at joshua* what is it .. that is being looked for?

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 10:00:37 PM)
A frown began to crease his features as he looked back at the gathering, which had grown much larger than he had originaly noticed. He began to find this all very sacrilegious, so many outsiders spying on these noble people's ceremonies. He didn't even seem to notice as his boots disapeared to become moccasins, his jeans the hide and tied pants, laced in leather up each side.

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 10:00:40 PM)
Hey. *She smiles in greeting to Xander as she takes out a joint for herself.* It's someone else from our time period. I'm Sky and welcome.

Craig Killian (Oct 7, 2010 10:00:52 PM)
*Craig.... okay, he might be a white kid, but his soul wasn't always, so even though he's a white guy, what's standing there looks more like a shinto monk than any anglo, despite the obviously western face.*

Joshua Davidson (Oct 7, 2010 10:01:05 PM)
*nods* Yes....them. *looks to Sam* The source. They killed everything else here...but they couldnt find...this. *Josh says another prayer, expending a point of quint and cloaking himself in a Body of Light*

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 10:01:26 PM)
what is this exactly?

Ryan Cooper (Oct 7, 2010 10:01:39 PM)
"Wow, this trip," he speaks as he looks at his hands, and his clothes change, "is awesome. Crow, would it be an insult to dance? Please tell me it wouldn't be!"

Kaydence Phillips (Oct 7, 2010 10:02:27 PM)
*kay is not actualy here. She is at her house in her office*

Ashishishe Heyoka (Oct 7, 2010 10:02:33 PM)
"For you, no...it wouldn't", he said softly to Ryan in the rolling Navajo language. "But all of this is begining to bother me more than a little. This is a sacred thing we look upon. It is not for all eyes to see."

snowcrane (Oct 7, 2010 10:02:41 PM)
(actually kay my bad. you're here.)

Kaydence Phillips (Oct 7, 2010 10:02:51 PM)
*Takes that back*

Xander Sinclair (Oct 7, 2010 10:03:00 PM)
*looked down at the oddity of his dress, yet found the elegant outfit comforting. he peered into his pocket and noticed a collection of colorful beads and trinkets. this may be a bad sign.*

Samuel Andrews (Oct 7, 2010 10:03:14 PM)
*was probably dressed like a shaman.*

Sky Hawthorne (Oct 7, 2010 10:03:23 PM)
*Sky lights the joint as her clothing shifts to native garb, the black feathers throughout her hair more stark against the tanned leather. She looks to Ash and Ryan in suprise as they speak Navajo speaking to them in that tongue.*
