Andy Nichols (Aug 1, 2011 11:59:24 PM)
Kewl. But yeah. So what all else has gone down in the last year?

Gabby Girl (Aug 1, 2011 11:59:35 PM)
*One of the kinfolk added*I read it makes a person more suseptible to emotions of those around them, that are vegtarian.. *the others where eating and happily but nick broke the peacefullness by asking* so you guys on secret b ussiness or ya wanna tell us whats got you guys up here?

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 1, 2011 11:59:50 PM)
"Mountain bearer here is on his rank challenge."

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:00:09 AM)
"And, I'm a tag along. Given that he tagged along on one of mine and sort of saved my bacon in the process."

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:00:12 AM)
*He looked over at Andy* pretty bad ass brother, another outstanding tribe member..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:00:28 AM)
*Rick and Nick both gave andy a thumbs up*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:00:55 AM)
"You wanna tell 'em or should I or leave it be?" *to Andy*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:01:38 AM)
*The metis then replied to tristan*Our kind always does better with pack close by, we are pack creatures. I have at times been guilty of underestimating my packmates, but they have saved my hide in the past on many occasions as well.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:03:57 AM)
*metal handsign* S'why it's pack, man. Sadly, my rank challenge is not like, seek out and wooing the most beautiful woman in the pacific northwest. *sighs theatrically*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:05:01 AM)
*The girls laugh at that and smile brightly taking it as a compliment the way it is made and the men chuckle in responce..All in good fun and obviously a laid back group of individulas*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:05:51 AM)
"No, we're looking for a klaive. One that was lost. incidentally by a former member of the pack during..well, lets just say it's a longer story and I dont really blame him for that. but, looking for a klaive"

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:06:29 AM)
It hasn't been in the right hand for, y'know, quite long enough, y'know?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:07:00 AM)
*nodded and the metis spoke*With the name of the spirit in the klaive a ragabash of fostern rank whom posesses the gift of sence prey should be able to find its location reguardless of where it is hidden

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:08:25 AM)
*The metis spoke to Andy this time* If that is the case it could be a cursed fetish it would take a theurge with skill in such a area to sooth the spirit within, and even then it might not work and the spirit might need to be released from it's duty.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:09:02 AM)
*the theurge did how ever seem to be quite informative about such things.*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:09:04 AM)
Oh, that I got. And that I got. That I can kick on later, but right now, y'know. We're more kinda getting a layout of the place. What happened, what hasn't hasn't happened. No need to charge in like an Ahroun cub who thinks he was Gaia's own gift to Ahrouneyness.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:10:09 AM)
And I have yet to see my favorite theurge tank on something heavy. If necessary.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:11:24 AM)
~nick~Well there was a battle here a long time ago, though we never found no fetish we did assult a spiral sept.. ~rick~ its called a hive, how many times must we say it? ~nick~yeah well dude its a sept of spirals or what ever, hive reminds me of bee's and it don't sound right, why should bee's get such a bad rep?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:11:35 AM)
*The girls laugh at the banter between the twins*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:14:46 AM)
*got very quiet, listening, eyebrows furrowed a bit*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:15:12 AM)
Well...helllo I think I may have died and gone to heaven.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:15:42 AM)
*eyerolled* and to Nick* "Did the spiral sept get cleaned out?"

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:19:54 AM)
*rick replied*It was not a good night, in any case there was a spiral "hive" out by the waters, they had these dangerous land shark things ya didnt even see them at first then ya seen a fin slip right out of the ground when ya stepped on it and they where not friendly.. *rick* wyrm creatures rarely are friendly brother, But my brother is right the land itself in the fleshlands was quite dangerous. *The metis answered tristan*Yes it got cleaned out, and properly cleansed the blight in which it was.. *nick responds* great peril to savior of spirits, as he sacraficed most of his gnosis in the attempt and got heavily tainted from it.. *Rick responds* the sept would not allow him on the bawn, and none of the elders could be bothered to help cleanse him.. *both brother responded* we tried over and over, but it was a painful process, both his pain and ours at seeing him in such pain.. *The metis responded* I began to loose faith that i would ever be restored but my packmates refused to end me, and there continued e

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:20:58 AM)
efforts at cleansing and there faith in gaia is why i sit here and eat with you now. Yes the area was cleared, but besides the bones my packmates gathered to honor our totem, nothing else was retrived by us..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:21:25 AM)
*rick adds* not to say nothing else was retirved by others..

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:21:34 AM)
*there was a low, low growl from him starting right about the point "the sept wouldn't let them on the bawn" and the elders bit, hell, it wasn't very low by the time the elders part was done*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:23:30 AM)
Well, it was pretty distinct. I mean, not like there's anything average about a klaive, just...this one...it stood out pretty serious.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:24:35 AM)
"It was old, very old, by Fianna standards, and silver." *and gave a pretty good description of it, clearly had seen it in person before*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:27:41 AM)
*The metis listened to them describe it.. Then he thought long and hard about whom he may have seen with it, but he could think of no one*I do not recall seeing any one with some thing like that.. *Nick added* not like he was there often only normaly to be kicked around or insulted, it was a constant pissing match with those people. But I was there with my brother often enough I can honestly say I had not seen anyone with such a blade at the sept.. Though the sept has not been around for awhile, like i said it seems to have dissapeared and all the members either moved to the city or dissapeared with the elders.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:28:21 AM)
*nodded*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:28:43 AM)
Thank you. *furrowed his eyebrows again, looking thoughtful while he ate*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:30:12 AM)
*finishes his salad at least, then...just for grins, lights up the scent of the prey gift*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:32:02 AM)
*the one girl spoke and reached a hand out to place on the metis shoulder* they wanted to kill me I had been severly tainted, i held no pure breed and no knowledge of garou, though i was not effected by the delrium, they the members of the sept wanted to kill me, but savior of spirits he begged to be able to try and cleanse me, and teach me the ways of the children of gaia, and adopt me into his tribe, they would not allow a metis this, so the fortman brothers won the right to do so in a honorable combat challenge, and he cleansed me, and they took me here, my life has such a deeper meaning then it ever did before..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:33:22 AM)
((1 success@diff6 )) *casually grins* Some people are like that. Y'know, they just...everything they don't know to be a friend is an enemy. Frankly, it's a hard way to live, wouldn't you say old man?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:34:09 AM)
*The old metis nodded to him.. Andy could feel the pull of the fetish it was a distance from where he was but he could feel it pulling him in the direction he could smell it on the wind*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:34:54 AM)
Also, It's thataway. *casually points*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:35:51 AM)
"Depends on where you draw the line on what's a friend and what aint, as to how hard that is."

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:36:36 AM)
I unno. Friendly girls seem friendly. *smirks*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:38:29 AM)
*The girls smiled brightly at Andy and the metis nodded his head in responce to andy's comment.. The fortman brothers where leaning back and the girls where taking the empty dinner plates into the house*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:38:56 AM)
*rick* you guys wanna borrow the dirt bikes for your challenge?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:40:55 AM)
Nah. He doesn't trust me to drive, *elbowing Tristan* and the jeep's a 4-wheel. If it gets to wear she can't handle it, we go four-footin'.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:42:11 AM)
*they nodded there heads.. The direction andy had pointed in was the direction of the city.. Go figure right?*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:43:49 AM)
*smiles casually* And we rest easy tonight, tomorrow though...we'll be outta your hair, y'know?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:44:08 AM)
Oh, and no taking liberties with my packmate. he's a married man, the poor dear.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:44:33 AM)
"Happily. I might add" *glaring at Andy*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:46:06 AM)
Oh I know. You're so....southern.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:46:09 AM)
*the girls smiled at Tristan and one of them made the *awww that is soo sweet..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:48:03 AM)
*Rick nodded and added* well ya have to stop back through when your done, we got that air glideing to do remember? *And Nicks eyes lit up* yeah air glideing! *he seemed so excited by the prospect of jumping off a moutain cliff*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:48:09 AM)
(mountain)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:48:48 AM)
That is dangerous, reckless, and Irresponsible. *pauses* I am so down.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:50:18 AM)
"I aint so sure why you'd wanna jump off a perfectly good mountain..." *and didnt sound so sure, although probably would go anyways*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:50:39 AM)
*They both seemed rather excited though the metis seemed like he was not excited as he responded*I will of cource sit that trip out, sit here and work on the garden

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:50:57 AM)
Heights?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:51:30 AM)
*The twins responded* naw hes a workaholic, and he does not have our zest for a good old fashioned thrill..

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:52:21 AM)
*to the metis* Tell you what, how about when we come back I work in the garden and you go? I'm dead serious when I say one day you regret that shit if you dont.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:52:26 AM)
*the females had left with the empty plates at this point.. The fortmans looked at tristan and andy*allright you guys get your rest we will be back by dawn..

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:52:37 AM)
*nodded to the fortmans* Sure thing.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:53:01 AM)
*although rest? hah, shifted assuming it seemed and okay area to do so down to lupus, and totally was figuring out where he'd patrol*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:53:04 AM)
*The metis looked at tristan but he for some reason agreed with him to go*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:53:58 AM)
Man. Dude needs to come to Big Easy. he will ~learn~ chillness, and the state of grace that comes from being in a moment of joy. *skritches Tristan* Go find 50 things that'll kill us, Old Man.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:55:29 AM)
*And the two brothers and the metis all shifted to lupus as well, the metis had small little ram horns on his lupus head that just seemed quite silly.. But his smaller lupus form found itself flanked by the two large fortman brothers whom where both rather menicing looking in there lupus forms and the three let out a howl of thanks to there tribal brothers before heading into the darkness.*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:56:18 AM)
*would stay very close to the house, and mostly out of sight the best he could. for no good reason other than well, it's tristan..he's like that*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:56:22 AM)
*While Andy was at the table after tristan had shifted he would notice the metis had left some thing behind when he went off..*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:56:39 AM)
*And ~just~ to make the old man more paranoid* ~PL~ You do realize you're leaving me here with three women and a jar of honey, right?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:56:43 AM)
*It was a Large bamboo stick leaning against the chair in which he had eaten his salad*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:57:27 AM)
*Eyes it professionally, tapping it a few times for balance and springyness*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:57:33 AM)
PL Not now, BlackBook.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:57:41 AM)
PL Lest I tell the women your full name. Hibby

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 12:57:55 AM)
PL You wouldn't.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:58:35 AM)
*ohh it was balanced and springy and oddly perfect and it even felt alive when held as if it was some how obsorbing the energy from the earth still. As if it was a living bamboo stick*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 12:59:10 AM)
(LOL black book)

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:59:34 AM)
PL I wouldnt make good on one of my own threats?

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 12:59:53 AM)
PL Is that a challenge?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:00:30 AM)
*Tristan makes his way around the property he will find some dirt bike trails not to far off, and a large old rock quarry that looked like it had some time ago hit a under ground spring of sorts which had filled the rock quarry with chrystal clear water that sparkled with brilliance under the light of the moon*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:00:34 AM)
PL For making women happy, I suffer. Man, that is a bad lot in life. Also, Holy shit. Homes has got to be a BADASS spiritualist. Seriously, this is...the third most awesome staff I've touched in my life.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:01:07 AM)
PL Perhaps when we get back you can bargain to learn something from him then.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:01:31 AM)
*would sniff at the trail, and the spring, and most everything with a bit of "it's too perfect, where's the trap?"*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:03:50 AM)
PL No, this is...this is heavy heavy shit. *putting it down, and looking at the women* You'll forgive my packmate. He will absolutely adore the jelly and stuff. *lowers his voice* And if you've got anything laying around dehydrated or anything like that, it would be...well, I could certainly trade something, y'know?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:04:12 AM)
*It was strange for tristan to be in, the animals in the area seemed allmost bold in the face of the lupus as if it was the norm, there was a peacefullness, as if the pack was really concearned with the health and well being of not just the land but the animals as well.. True children of Gaia to the very core of them, leaving a toucvh of unicorn every where tristan seemed to explore*

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:05:00 AM)
PL Andy- when we get home, we really should work on doin things there like they do here. they're way puttin us to shame in the name of tribe.

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:05:13 AM)
PL and oh that kind of badass..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:06:49 AM)
*one of the woman asked* dehydrating? Like Vencine Jerky?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:07:25 AM)
PL Their lands are their lands because they are one tribe. Ours is ours because we have the touch of so many totems on us. Y'know? The martial, the passionate, the downtrodden, and the peaceful...all these things are ours because of what we are. It's beauty in chaos.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:07:48 AM)
*Nods* Yeah, except I'm personally more partial to fruits.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:10:00 AM)
*they nodded to him* yes we have dehydrated fruits as well.. Would be our pleasure to get some set up for you in a bag for your trip tomarrow incase you get hungry while you are out there fighting.. *Sounded so silly but you always packed some sort of lunch or provisions on such things.. So the one girl moved to take the staff*ahh he left his staff, I should bring it back inside for him.. *The other one spoke*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:10:28 AM)
Crescent moons often have there minds in more then one place, we have come to understand this..

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:10:35 AM)

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:11:05 AM)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:11:14 AM)
Yeah. And...be...be good to that staff it's...wow. *grins*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:11:17 AM)
(it will not be a problem at all we can call it for the night, andy knew this would be more then one nights play, andy if hes still awake and alert can continue into the scouting part of his mission if he would like)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:11:32 AM)
Suuuure. I'm good for a few more hours.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:11:44 AM)
(im not upset i was late also no big deal im wide awake reguardless so i can keep running for andy if he wants lol)

Tristan Redgrave (Aug 2, 2011 1:12:08 AM)
((he's in a diff time zone and on a diff schedule than i am. part of why we have such issues getting it together. he's much more nocturnal than me! anyhow thank you gabby for being so flexible. i'm out! tristan will stand guard and be avail and all that if needed)

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:12:10 AM)
*She smiled at Andy and moved back inside*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:12:52 AM)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:15:00 AM)
((Might. It's definitely a good time for crash-course things. :) ))

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:17:44 AM)
(So that night was pretty peaceful, the girls had a apple pie made for dessert, and with whipped cream added on top, they all gathered round to watch a movie, cource it was a silly comedy and one that had seen before, the original American pie, just to throw in the gross factor that they where eating apple pie*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:19:04 AM)
*snickers a bit, humming a few bars of the old Don Maclean "American Pie"*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:21:45 AM)
*the girls seemed extremly friendly, not overtly flirty but they did giggle and blush at compliments.. very family like atmosphere. When it was time for bed they all headed itno there bedrooms and went straight to sleep.. And at dawn that morning Andy awoke to the sounds of what sounded like heaving banging sounds as if three people there beating on the floor boards in another room*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:23:25 AM)
*Groans softly* Drum circle before coffee...gods be good, it's like Anna and...*muttering quietly and padding downstairs barefoot and shirtless to see just what the world is doing...*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:26:40 AM)
*One of the ladies was down stairs sipping on a pot of coffee.. The shower was going on up stairs and the drum circle was going on in the shrine room which the door was closed in that room. Tyler looked at andy over her cup of coffee and asked pleasently *how did you sleep?" *She said this as if waking up to crazed drumming was a normal thing around here*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:28:30 AM)
Right up to the part where I was in an african village with mad drum action before shrinking heads. *grins*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:30:03 AM)
*she laughed at his responce and she moved to pour him a cup of coffee.. As she grabbed the cream out of the fridge and there was small sugar packets on table on a dish* Yes they do that every morning, some sort of druming ritual to honor mammoth and strengthen him..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:30:57 AM)
*grins* I just watch my koi.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:32:00 AM)
*She looked confused at that* You watch your fish?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:34:00 AM)
Mm-hm. I live in New Orleans. I work at a tattoo shop, and I'm a psychology major. All that when I'm not trying to save my little piece of the world. Watching koi be koi is restful. They're good luck.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:36:37 AM)
*She smiled at Andy* you certainly do keep busy.. *She offered him a brilliant smile* Watching fish are restful..*It was then that the metis came into the room with a bright smile.. He moved to put a tea kettle on the stove, and the brothers followed in shortly after to fill there mugs with coffee.. The female handed andy his cup and placed the cream beside his cup, before she moved off with a exit reply of..* Need to check on wolfs bane

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:38:15 AM)
Thank you miss. *grins at the three coming out* So anyway. Do me a favor and distract Tristan, hey? I'mma take a run uptown and see the sights.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:38:55 AM)
*The metis asked* how would you like me to distract him?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:40:02 AM)
*rick replied*ohh i know a mystery!

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:40:41 AM)
*nick rolled his eyes at his brothers comment* this is not one of your mystery stories, im sure there is a more benficial method to distracting the man..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:40:52 AM)
*though all three sets of eyes fell back on andy*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:41:57 AM)
Staff-fight, or show him some of the finer points of the layout here. He's very taken with how you've worked the energy of the place.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:43:45 AM)
*they nodded there heads and the metis added* My packmates are not as skilled as I am in that forum of fighting.. *Nick motioned to the metis* yeah hes like the grand master of bamboo.. *the two ahourns smiled brightly at that.. and added together spoken at the same time* we prefer our claws..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:44:22 AM)
*the metis added*So It will be left to me then to "keep him busy", but you keep in touch I don't want him upset with us if some thing happens to you

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:46:20 AM)
Yeah...he's got the bamboo worthy of it. If something happens to me, he'll freak right the fuck out. *grins* That said, I may whip out my pine later, if the search is good.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:48:27 AM)
*A smile was given to Andy and the Man moved off to harass tristan and the other two smiled at andy there was a bag set up for andy on the counter with his name on it, it looked like a kids brown lunch bag, inside was some plastic bags with dried fruits for him to take with him*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:49:24 AM)
*looks up* Thanks mom. *grins, finishing the coffee and hopping into the jeep to follow his nose.*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:51:32 AM)
*He found himself heading towards the city, and not in the direction of the ware house, he was actuly headed in the direction of the old destroyed macha sept*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:52:53 AM)
*Blinks, driving in a series of smaller squares to try and get a good bead on where it might be. At least narrowing it down to a few blocks*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:54:55 AM)
*it was moving right towards macha it would take him right to it.. not just a few block radius this was sence the prey it would take him directly to his prey, and it seemed his prey was in the flshlands some where below the halls of the destoryed building.. *

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:55:49 AM)
*no visable way to get into it*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:57:02 AM)
*And now, time to totally cheat...

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:57:29 AM)
(cheat?)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:57:32 AM)
...lupus and Domestic Seeming time.*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:57:39 AM)
(( >.> ))

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:58:01 AM)
(lol you got that child of gaia domestic seeming? lol)

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:58:23 AM)
(such a awesome gift)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 1:58:25 AM)
((Hellyeah.)) *Parking the jeep several blocks away, and near a nice deserted alley*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 1:58:32 AM)
(but thats not really cheating haha)

*Andy parkd the jeep in a nice deserted alley way.. Nothing seemed to be around, when he shifted to lupus and used his domestic seeming he truly did appear like a normal doggy who was not leashed

*As he was padding along down the street he could smell chocolate guiess cake from a near by pub called flannigans*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:05:32 AM)
*Noted for later...but the interest is in a way into the building. Joy. A sept that fell before he even got there...*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:07:29 AM)
*The pub was not far off from the sept perhaps a block and a half away total.. As he got closer to the sept he could see where the once huge sky scraper was, most of the rubble had since been cleared away and it seemed a new building was not yet errected. Though the area was all sorts of closed off with large wired fences to keep people or children from getting hurt..*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:09:05 AM)
*thankfully, he's not a people. Or a children...looking up, down, maybe squirrel in through a hole in the fence. Failing all else, a little open seal never killed anyone*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:10:03 AM)

*Andy sees a basketball go flying over the fence on the other side from where he is standing, his ears pick up two teens arguing about who is gonna hop over and get the ball.. *~kid 1~non way man that fuckin place creeps me out, remember when timmy went in there that one night on a dare? ~kid 2~ listen it is broad day light I will show you there is nothing to be afraid of.. ~kid 1~Yeah where is timmy again?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:25:18 AM)
(andy managed to get the gate open with his open seal and inside the rubbley ground he went there was large shards of glass massive bricks and foundation pieces this had been a massive building and it looked like it had at one time collapsed in on itself.. there was the basket ball bright and orange in the sun light as the two boys where on the oposite side of the fence arguing about retreving it*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:27:34 AM)
*Time to play Stupid Dog. Bark. barkbark. Attack the basketball and boot it toward the fence. Maybe they'll be bright enough to get their fingers through the chainlink and get it over to their side*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:31:59 AM)
*The boys looked at the dog.. yeah.. they seemed happy to see it and they did move there fingers through the fence.. one saying* thanks boy, your like awesome dog.. *the other responded* its not lassie dude, it can not understand you.. *they worked together and got the ball then the one boy stayed there grabbing the fence* dude we cant leave him stuck in there! *the other boy looked around* how did he get in there?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:33:44 AM)
*Woof, bark, splay-legged "PLAY!" before running off*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:36:34 AM)
*They moved around the outside of the fence trying to find a way for the dog to get back outside, while calling to it* good boy, yeah you wanna play with the ball? You stuck in there boy? *Till they found the opening to the fence they both seemed naturaly petrafied of moving inside the fence so they stood out side the open fence calling to andy..* come on boy come on out of there before ya get hurt..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:36:54 AM)
*one said* look at the glass he keeps jumping like that he might get his paws cut up..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:39:44 AM)
*Pad, padpadpad...and taking one last look around for an entrance before hauling ass back the way he came, squirming a bit to look like he got in through luck and not because it was unlocked*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:40:43 AM)
*When he got through the one boy knelt down and began undoing his shoe lace the other kid reached over to pet andy as he asked his friend* what are you doing now?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:42:05 AM)
*dumb dog. dumb dog. scratchscratch ear.*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:42:08 AM)
Just makin sure no one else or something else does not wander in there.. *The kid pulled the shoe lace from his shoe and tied it up high to keep the gate closed and his friend sort of laughed at him* yeah that will keep people out.. *to which the shoe lace tier responded* well it will keep dogs and small kids out, thats what matters sides i dont carry around pad locks.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:43:03 AM)
*hell yes. Yip, wag-tail...and bolt like a mofo for the bar.*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:43:09 AM)
*they both then looked down at the dog, noteing no collar they asked* want to play some ball? *the one kid bounced the basket ball against the pavement*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:43:30 AM)
*Then they seen the dog dart off*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:43:33 AM)
*He's not Lassie! Lassie was a girl.*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:43:54 AM)
*They looked at each other and shrugged* well least hes safe.. *the other responded* and we got our ball!

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:44:10 AM)
*The two moved off* dayum good start

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:44:57 AM)
*Andy would find it difficult to enter the bar in the guise of a Female dog!*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:46:05 AM)
*Sniffsniff. Sniff. Back to the alleyway, lose the disguise and get back in homid. Time to look normal for the bar. Slumming Student it is..*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:50:04 AM)
*When andy went into the bar he could see the owner was a stockey looking dude there was a single waitress the place had some costumers, but seemed to be a former shell of what it once might have been.. The customers pretty much seemed to be police officers on or off duty as flannigans also served food.*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:51:55 AM)
*Shit. Of course, the one thing every good Breaking and Entering scenario nees is...a cop bar a couple blocks away. Easy grin, nod, and grabbing a barstool, bouncing his hands a little bit against the bar*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:53:30 AM)
*The tender came up to him* how can i help ya sir?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 2:54:52 AM)
Eh, coke and...y'know? If you got a few I...well, this is gonna sound a little silly... ((3 succ))

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 2:57:24 AM)
*While andy was talking the man went to grab him his coke he seen a female cook come out the back of the counter from a swinging door her hands holding a tray with what looked like tradional fish and chips, there was a large milk shake on the tray as well.. But what he seen before the door swung shut looked like a back door of sorts with a great many deadbolts on it as if they where expecting a massive break in! Who the hell would break into a cop bar? The man behind the counter also had a bit of that fianna pure breed in him*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:03:18 AM)
*hopefully the guy at the bar is quick on the uptake* ...so I'm a student, y'know? Doing like, some summer research crap because one of my profs at the U is gonna be a ~dick~. He wants me to like, look into some places that are supposed to be haunted. Stories get around, and I was talking to this one ~fine~ coed and she says there's a haunted building like, y'know, just over there? *while his mouth motors, his hands are drawing an upside down Coggie symbol on the bar with the dew from his coke.* Figured the least I could do was check it out, y'know? *easy grin and wipe the bar off a bit*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:07:22 AM)
*The man looked at him* ahh yeah, think I know what your talking about lad, well the place been out of commission theres no sure way into it these days, sort of condemed. But I heard that place was like really really old, ya know seattle never really had a under ground trail system but some parts of the city where connected, some tell of a entire city beneith this one, not sure about all that though.. They do say some of the buildings use to be connected.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:10:10 AM)
Huh....kinda like how a bunch of cities used to have underground rail stuff for coal? That's kinda cool. So who owns it, like, officially, y'know?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:12:53 AM)
Oh the building? The old owners they like dissapeared which is part of the creepyness behind it all, though the fact they where rather high society law firm makes it even more bizzar.. Makes it more of a urban legend if you would. The law firm tenchnicaly owns it the city has been trying to fight for the slot because they dont want it remaining how it is, the law firm itself even with the heads of it having dissapeared as mysteriously as the building imploded on itself will not budge will not sell and so it remains as you see it to this day.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:14:00 AM)
Weird...when did that happen?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:14:32 AM)
Years ago lad years ago.. But I know a place that its rumored to be connected to..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:15:02 AM)
This place? *there's a half-laugh*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:16:06 AM)
*he then moved andys glass and wrote in the persperation of it "yes" before putting the glass back and responding* you should come by later some time, when im not on duty, i can tell you all about the legends..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:17:14 AM)
Deeeewwwwwd. *in the long, drawn out, southern california way* Totally, I don't want to keep you. What time you guys close up shop?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:18:24 AM)
2 am.. It's a bit late for most folks but not for the officers who change shift, we chase them out around 2 am so we can clean up and close shop, so your more then welcome to come then if your awake..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:20:59 AM)
Yeah, I might be back around another night, y'know? *grins cheerfully, finishing his soda* Okay, I gotta bounce. Date with a choice lady or 5...*leaving a 5 on the bar and heading out. Scouting part done, now back for some staffwork and making plans A-L...*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:24:28 AM)
*When Andy made his way back it seemed they manage to skirt tristans questions and keep him quite busy with the staff training and explination of why there area was soo peaceful..Tristan by the time andy arrived was off with the fortman brothers who where explaining things to him in there epicly cool dude fashion, and Andy was left with the metis and three kin*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:25:07 AM)
Dude. This is screaming too easy.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:29:22 AM)
*The metis looked at him* then be ever cautious, most times paths which look easy are any thing but easy. *like a old wise men or something, he was currently leaning on his bamboo staff as he watched andy and replied*I heard u also study the art.. *The man lightly touched his bamboo staff*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:32:01 AM)
*grins casually* yeah. Learned it from an Elder in Montana, went out there with Tristan a few years back. there was a thing, we did the thing, and our reward was learning the rudiments. I picked up a few more pieces, but not enough to where I could be good to a chunk of bamboo, y'know?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:35:18 AM)
I would like to see just how much you have managed to pick up.. I do know of a place where the bamboo is tended by a sept, where it is awaked for this particular use.. The bamboo is just really a blade of grass, so it does not kill the plant when it is removed, since it is awakened it truly does stay alive, one can feel the pule of gaia run through it when they hold it, feel her breath and her guidance.. It is a fitting weapon for a child of gaia deserving of it.. *his hands lightly gripped at his bamboo stick* don't you agree?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:37:40 AM)
Definitely. Though my own staff is pretty well set for homid, which doesn't do much when other forms are called for. The balance goes to hell, y'know? *undedicating his little pine staff*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:38:54 AM)
The bamboo staff i hold is naturaly made and tended to be for the grasp of a crinos hand and when awakened it will shift with you through homid glabro and crinos and dissapear in your fur when in lupus and hispo

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:40:51 AM)
The bamboo is a special kind only tended to on the bawn of a sept, I know of such a place as I mentioned before. Oddly enough my packmates the fortman twins mother serves at that sept..California.. *he nods to andy*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:41:35 AM)
Which one, I got bounced around a couple. *half-smiles* I was a bad boy.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:41:53 AM)
*He chuckled

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:42:42 AM)
*I bet you where, I had thought it was why they where here, that perhaps they had gotten in trouble there. But I really think it was to try and shine on there own, there mother was quite important there, and so they where lost in her shadow..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:43:27 AM)
Would you like to show me what it is you are capable of?

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:44:43 AM)
*grimaces* If it's a place I was, I probably called her a dryboxed hag. It seemed the thing to do. *casually backing a few paces, taking an offbeat starting stance*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:46:53 AM)
*HE looked at Andy* doubt it, there mother is a sparkling gem woman aint got a sour or haggish bone in her body..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:48:45 AM)
Yeah, and I was a 16 year old who hated the idea of being a Garou. *flicking his staff up and out in a pirouette*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:49:20 AM)
*He was still holding his staff* Mahasu qatu *he called to andy*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:51:53 AM)
I hear it was the oposite for the fortman boy's they where so excited by the chance to go to war and how "cool and far out" it would be to defend the great earth mother that they actuly put away there surf boards and dirt bikes to treck the umbra in search of "cool dangerous thrill seeking stuff" they could do in the name of unicorn.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:53:41 AM)
(we don't have to roll it just role play it out..)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:53:52 AM)
Yeah, well...*snapping through the maneuver casually* I'm guessing they knew what they were going to be. I didn't. First trueborn in my family in...6, 7 generations, depending on how you count it. *and just because, runs through it again, going for the other wrist as well.*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:53:54 AM)
(you went quiet you getting sleepy?)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 3:55:05 AM)
((Nah. Was looking at bookage and making sure it was what I thought it was.))

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 3:58:12 AM)
*He seemed to block the manuvers cause well he knew they where coming and he was quite adpet at this as well. He then said in english* Dragon emerges from mountain.. *he called to andy this time and allthough the metis seemed to be talking andy could tell his attension was on the way andy was holding himself and moving..* Not sure what they knew about the garou nation but i did hear it was quite th suprise when they both shifted on the same night at the same time with allmost dreastic consequencs

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:01:48 AM)
*His style is...highly unconventional, flipping the staff behind his neck and firing it forward almost like a pool cue. Fopr all that, he does hold himself with a lot of balance and skill, without much waste in movement or effort* Whadya expect from twins, hey?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:06:23 AM)
*He chuckled and nodded motioning to andys style of movements..* very fluid quite impressive and I do enjoy how you make it your own, that is actuly a important part in this style of fighting to not only be balanced but to be able to move fluidly like a blade of grass.. *he motioned to his bamboo stick* on the wind.. *And he showed Andy how he could move between the two moves serving to snap a wrist then hit with the blunt end there was no stoping in the movement but fluid like a kata he called out each move as he made it..*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:08:30 AM)
*cocks his head* Problem - the people I fight usually aren't polite enough to stand there and let me roll from a to b to c, so isn't it better to move to a stance that gives you choice?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:08:48 AM)
To make it your own also means practicing to add new movements to the style itself, with keeping in mind the nature of the style and what it came from, and what it is used for, one can create many moves that they themselves master, making it change and move like it is ment to, adding the old and mixing the new like creation itself, the foundation of everything we ever where and everything we will strive to be in the coming days.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:11:04 AM)
If the people you fight would stand in place then you could simply talk reason into them.. you are correct the people you fight will not stand in place, but practicing the movements in a more serene inviorment allows you and them to become one, so that when you are in a fight, they come as easily as breathing the air each day

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:12:51 AM)
Problem two; staff doesn't balance well in crinos.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:15:58 AM)
*He looked at him* You retrevive the Fetish and I will send word of your deeds to the fortmans mother, I will let her know your skill, and what a dangerous and great deed you did for your rank challenge for fetish that was captured by the enemy.. Being a Cresent moon like myself she loves to hear such good news that spirits are being saved.. By the time I get to telling her about your lack of a proper staff, I am sure she will be checking the glades for the perfect staff..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:16:49 AM)
Oh gods. As long as she doesn't tell my parents...they're sketchy on some of the finer points of the thing.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:19:21 AM)
*He smiled at Andy* I will be sure she does not approach your parents. *He offered the man a smile* It is good to be around other tribe mates.. We do not get out often enough to socialize with our tribe as much as we would like, with keeping our eyes here, and our frequent trips to the umbra, it is hard to find the time.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:20:25 AM)
You really should get out more. Probably why the twins are doing so much crazy shit. Small social groups are tight, but the interaction with larger ones reminds us of the vastness, hey?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:25:36 AM)
*He looked to andy* Im not one for crowds to be perfectly honest with you, and I do enjoy the interaction with tribe mates, and have tried to enjoy interaction with others outside the tribe, but its not something i seek any longer

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:27:39 AM)
It's your face. *smirks* It's too pretty. Scares the other tribes.

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:28:33 AM)
*He huffed at him*

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:29:45 AM)
I'm just sayin...

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:30:15 AM)
*He then smiled at him a bit* I think its my horn's they dun want me near there women afraid im to horney..

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:31:22 AM)
You don' need horns for that. Trust me. *perky grin*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:32:36 AM)
*He chuckled at andy* So let's get to gabbin you want to come in grab some grub, you and tristan will be heading out tonight yes? Perhaps some rites would do you some good?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:33:40 AM)
You should know breath of gaia at least right?

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:34:04 AM)
Every child of gaia ragabash should know that one.. *He offered a smile to andy*

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:34:25 AM)
(im looking at your sheet you definately do not have that rite)

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:35:31 AM)
*a little grin* I'm weak in the actual rituals bit.

Andy Nichols (Aug 2, 2011 4:35:49 AM)
((And I need bed in like...10 minuytes.))

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:37:42 AM)
*He looked at andy* Then I must impart wisdom on you.. It seems me and you where ment to cross paths.. Here have a seat.. *motioning to the ground before him.. The metis then sat infront of andy.. He explained* this is called the breath of gaia it is a minor ritual but very important to us.. With each breath you are asking gaia to enter with each exhale you loose any doubt you might have ever had about your inability to protect her..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:38:24 AM)
13 breaths each day or evening or noon it does not matter when just as long as each day you sit and take 13 deep breaths of her and exhale the doubts that some times lingure within us..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:38:53 AM)
You will find it easier to detect all sorts of things as well as easier to heal when you need to do it most of all..

Gabby Girl (Aug 2, 2011 4:39:09 AM)
