*If Deacon went looking for his Elder he would know where to find him or at least in the general sense he would from the last encounter he had of the Elder..Deacon would track through the muck and the mud for roughly about an hour he would come across several paths that seemed to be well worn from the locals that hunted the swamps fo he would come across several tree stands and little wooden shakes that were barely big enough for a cot,but they suited there purpose...By now he would be deep in the swamps but he would see a clearing up ahead the glow of a small fire would alert him that there was or were people or at the very least a person in the clearing*

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 9:28:55 PM)
*Deacon makes his way into the clearing, wearing his usual jeans and work boots, along with a leather jacket half zipped. Hands tucked into his pockets those feline eyes worked over the night, scanning it as he approached the clearing and its faintly crackling fire*

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 9:32:56 PM)
*As Deacon stepped into the clearing Phinn would look up from his seeming trance as she stared at the fire..He looked no different than the last time Deacon saw him and the smell he wore seemed to be the same as well,he had a walking stick in his hand as he stocked the fire sending small embers into the night air*Hello again Deacon*offering a plaseant smile*to what do I owe the honor of your presence?

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 9:35:51 PM)
Ohhh I have been feeling philosophical of late, and you seem to be the only of our blood aside from myself with any adequate knowledge to talk with..... *He approached over to stand alongside the fire, his feline eyes gleaming in the flickering light*

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 9:41:41 PM)
*he smield at Deacon*sit sit *points to a log with his staff to a log that is a make shift seat semi next to where Deacon is standing* Then let us have a philosophical chat,although I do not have much knowledge with that kind of thing...But,sit and chat with me anyway*still smiling*

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 9:44:45 PM)
*He moved to the log and sat not atop it, but he set his jacket down on the ground and sat with his back against the log, looking much like an old cowboy out on the trail by the fire.* Oh I would hazard a guess that you are well aquainted with the principles of our... protean nature... I have been working on my advancement of our blood, and its getting to a point where a sharing of views could be useful to expand my understanding of it

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 9:50:00 PM)
*Phinn watched him sit down and Deacon did indeed remind him of the cowboys of old but he did not say anything to that fact,the smile on his face did not waiver.*Ahh so it is adivce you seek,I had wondered how long it was going to take you*soft chuckle,as he poked the fire once again*And what views do you seek out? For I do not really have any views on it anymore.

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 9:50:54 PM)
Advice not exactly, your views on protean, and how it works really is what I am after, your experiences with its changing nature, and developing its later abilities.

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 9:55:25 PM)
*he was silent a moment or two before answering him* My view is it is a very personal thing espically the futher with development you go along...*he tilted his head to the side for a moment as he thought about something*How it works,I have not thought of such things for a very long time..I do remeber when I first tried it*he laughed a bit*I remember the tree well what was left of it when I was finished but there was not much thought in that either..Now if you are speaking of turhing into an animal that is a different matter....That takes a great deal of practice,and you should choose animals that are native to your surroundings,draws less attention to yourself when you do change....

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 9:56:43 PM)
You will have many instances where you fail and only develope certain parts of the animal you are attempting to change into..do not choose many animals only choose one to start...

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 9:57:38 PM)
I am not trying to choose animals, I am attempting to let the inner animals come out.... I dont think personally it is a thing of concious thought, but more of the inner beast taking its true shape.

*he gave a slight nod of his head*In a sense it is,but the beast can only choose what he wishes to choose and just like you control the beast within you,you must also control what you transform into...Cause you become more profeient in transforming if you let the beast choose for you or take over you might transform at the wrong time and place...So it is a conscious thought..

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:15:57 PM)
I suppose it can be looked at in such a way, in a theoretical sense, one could make a concious thought to try and guide their inner beast towards a specific animal, but that does not seem to be a very natural progression of our ever changing nature.

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 10:21:27 PM)
8He gave a slight nod of his head*True it does not..How do you think this works from your point of view*he said curiously*Do you think you can change into many animal form? At will?

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:22:49 PM)
No I believe that my beast has an animal form for the two instincts, fight and flight like all others I have heard of... Its own representations of them, and as I progress I will be able to change into either of them at will, or near to at will

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 10:26:26 PM)
8he laughed and lifted a hand as if saying"there you go"*They why do you seek me out for it seems you already know what I would have told you...However,I said it in a different way...The younger generations*he just chuckled and shook his head*

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:27:55 PM)
Because I am young, and I believe this step is personal, but it never hurts to talk, and get confirmation on your thoughts, especially when something like this also takes confidence

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 10:30:07 PM)
Choose your brute strength and then choose your fleeing strength...Or as you said it..Choose your fight form and then your flee form*he smiled at Deacon* I agree with you it is very personal indeed..It took me sometime before I had the confidence to attempt such a transformation...For as you have realized it does indeed take great confidence in yourself,and is freightening at first...But*smiling at him*I have confidence in you that you will accomplish this very soon,do n ot doubt yourself...

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:31:26 PM)
Its also confusing when you find yourself flopping around with a bird talon, a leopards leg, a beak, and fur and feathers...

Phinnaeus Phillips-Please do not PM (Sep 18, 2011 10:35:12 PM)
*he laughed at that*Oh,yes indeed..I do remember what that was like,it scared me to death well not in a literal sense of course*chuckling*..I learend as you will to focus on one animal first then the other,until one was mastered then move ontot he next...But,that is merely how I choose to do it,everyone is different..

(k and ur post...ty =-)

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:48:00 PM)
I feel I am getting close, its just a matter of time now anyways... but abit of confimation that I wasnt thinking about it completely wrong was good to hear. *He chuckled and looked up towards the sky*

Phinnaeus Phillips (Sep 18, 2011 10:49:24 PM)
*He smile at him*No,you are looking at it right...And Iam certain you will master it soon....*as he poked the fire with the stick once again sending embers skyward*

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:51:33 PM)
So what do you do in New Orleans I must ask.... I have heard of you, but you seem to have no actual ambitions aside from survival that I have seen... It makes me curious.

Phinnaeus Phillips (Sep 18, 2011 10:55:11 PM)
*he simled at Deacon*I dont have any but survival and to help my fellow clansmen when Iam needed nothing more...But,as you sought me out for help so must others*he shrugged and when he did a couple leaves fell off his shoulders* Curiosity killed the cat*playful smile8

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 10:57:00 PM)
This is one feline, that curiosity is going to have one hell of a time hanging onto long enough to kill. *He smirked*

Phinnaeus Phillips (Sep 18, 2011 11:01:01 PM)
*he laughed*Good to hear indeed*said as he stood up,stoking the fire once again*Now then was there anything else?

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 11:02:40 PM)
Nothing more at this point in time. *Deacon shifted pushing himself up on the log behind him and grabbed his jacket, dusting it off*

Phinnaeus Phillips (Sep 18, 2011 11:04:50 PM)
*nods with a smile*You know how to find me if you do...Good luck and remember have confidence yourself,that is key...*he turned from Deacon wakling tot he edge of the treeline leanding down picking up water jug then turend and poured it onto the fire,it hissed and smoked as the water put it out...darking the area but Deacon would ssee the red of Phinn's eyes and then he was gone without a sound*

Deacon McCarthy (Sep 18, 2011 11:06:32 PM)
*with that, Deacon too left*
