[Mature]Werewolf: The Forsaken PbP - Blood in, Blood out

[Shalimar]

"I'm not hungry, really, I just came from a party where I had a big steak, I couldn't possibly have another bite." Faith says, trying to turn down the offered meal without offending the mad mother. She is a bit perplexed by the flip in the conversation though, from she isn't good enough for Camera since she is a slut, to Camera being good enough for her. The conversation really could make your head hurt.

"Your sons are very handsome." she agrees, "But Camera is like 6 years older then me, if I was a little older, I would be lucky to have him, but I do already have a boyfriend, he's on the varsity football team." the pink hair girl explained, try to get out of the tricky conversation. It was true as far as it went, the boy she had fooled around with was a football player, he was the kicker, and a junior that she had known since elementry school, but she wasn't serious about him or anything and she hadn't been doing anything with him since before the break because of all of her training with Candace.

The card just has a number on it. There is nothing else on the card. Buzz listens and gets in the van, “So you knew this guy, well I sort of figured that when the Russian started flying. But you thought he died? Well maybe he did… dude looks like a total lick head… I don’t trust him.”

Buzz gets in the van, “So now what?”

Piotr tucks the card into a pocket and jumps in after her "Now? Now I had better check what the others are doing, I hope they were not planning to gather at the store."

The Russian took out his new mobile phone (he lost his previous phone after the death rage a month ago) and punched in Ari's phone number.

While the call connected Piotr's attention returned to the weapons in the rear of the van. One firearm caught his attention in particular.

"Ah, be nice to that one, it only likes to stomach cartridges from a specific range of grainages. I can get you the perfect cartridges for it at cost price, if you're interested," the English that Piotr knew best was all about his area of expertise.

"Ah, be nice to that one, it only likes to stomach cartridges from a specific range of grainages. I can get you the perfect cartridges for it at cost price, if you're interested," the English that Piotr knew best was all about his area of expertise.

Buzz listens, “Well we can always use a better source for cartridges. Tell you what I will talk the guys, and decide, but I am thinking that we will be taking you up on that offer.” She guides the van to his place and see no one else is there.

She pulls into the parking lot, “So you got pack stuff to do?” She lights another cigarette.

Ariella recieves the phone call.

 

[DrZombie]

Dreams.

"Dreams?" Ari hesitates, almost missing the turn. She has to hit the brakes and crank the wheel to make it.

She looks over at Drake then, eyes a bit wide. "You've been having dreams, huh? Listen, did...I mean, was I dead in any of them? Did you ever dream that I died?"

"Why did you think I wanted to gather the pack?" He takes a cigarette and lights it, opening the window a little to blow the smoke out.
"In my dreams,the lot of you are dead, untill Faith finally stops arguing and accepts me as alpha. By that time, it's too late." He blows out the smoke, thinking. "I'm not about to let that happen. I'd die before letting one of you get hurt."
He sounds grim and determined, clearly meaning it as literally as possible.
"To the right here. Should be close."

 

[Shayuri]

Ari hangs the right and scowls.

"Lets wait until we all hear what happened in the dream before we start trying to figure it out. I know someone who's kind of a specialist in omens and stuff. We could tell her, maybe get lucky and get a lucid answer..."

Then the phone at her hip starts beeping insistantly. She scoops it up and answers, "Hello?"

Camera rouses himself from his trace.
I'm terrible at this...
... or maybe I should use my gift?

His mother's voice echoes up from the floor below.
But if someone comes up and sees me when I have Two World Eyes on then they'll freak.

Camera gathers his books and makes his way down the stairway.
He finds himself cringing in the hallway.

“What in the hell, I brought Camera out here to get him away from trouble and he is out here messing with underage skinny white girls! Oh lord what have I done to have this happen to me! You better not be pregnant, oh lord don’t let this pink haired white girl be carrying my son’s baby. Oh lord, we need to go to church, we need some prayer! Jamil how could you let this happen?”

Jamil shakes his head, “Mom, please I am sure she is not pregnant, right?”

Camera’s mother looks at Faith, “I swear I am not raising another baby!”

The herd can't know....
Tell them something normal...
I'll tell them we're part of a gang....
... no...

Paralysed Camera continues to lurk in the hallway, wishing he could hide in his room.

"All my boys are good men, and they have good taste in women,” she adds with a look to Samantha.

“Now child you are all skin and bones, I am going to fix you some fried chicken, green beans, collard greens, and mash potatoes. Now don’t say no,” she stands heading to the kitchen, “I can’t let you leave here with no food we got plenty to go around. Lord knows you could use a little jiggle in your walk.”

Once in the kitchen she starts fixing Faith a plate. Samantha smiles, “I am not sure what is taking Camera so long.”

Jamil rubs his forehead, “He is probably drawing or something.”

Camera slinks into the room once his mother has left. He's hunched over in his big coat, with his satchel over his shoulder.

"Hey."
He glances at everyone quickly before saying, "We have to go actually.
Maybe, ah, you could tell mom that Faith will have something to eat a'nother time?"

Camera scoots towards the door.

 

[Tokiwong]

Outside Camera’s home…

Assuming Camera and Faith make a quick exit…

Outside the home the air is chilly, and ice and snow are still on the ground, not too surprising given the season. But they notice Ariella’s beat up Honda approaching and inside they see Drake and Ariella. No sign of Piotr though. Overhead some light cloud cover obscures the Judge’s Moon of Luna’s face.

A chill gust blows, and then the night is calm once more.

 

[Shalimar]

"Hi Camera, its good to see...you?" Faith greets her packmate before trailing off in confusion as he scoots out the door and tells his brother to have their mom save the effort for another time. "Well it was nice to meet all of you, I guess we'll see each other again soon." the pink haired teen tell's Camera's family with a smile before following him through the door and out to the street. She watches her packmate a little worriedly, but shrugs he knew his family better then she did, he knew how to handle them, well maybe not, but it was on him.

"We should try and meet up with the others, we have some stuff that we need to take care of. I take it your ready to go find them? Do we want to go Urhan so its faster? Or not." the pink haired girl says, waving to Ariella, and grudgingly including Drake in the gesture, there wasn't any need to be rude when tonight would take cooperation if they were going to come together as a pack and find a totem.

"Good to see you guys, we have things that we need to take care of as a pack. Does anyone know where Piotr is? We'll need him for what we have to do." Faith says, smiling.

 

[Graf]

Camera grins, quickly and slyly, at Faith once they've made it outside.
"You too."
"She's feeling the pressure of the spirit-here," he gestures vaguely around.
"But she can't see that and all, so I think she's thinking the bad vibe is coming from the white folk around."
Camera shrugs slightly, “Maybe.”

He glances over as the Honda pulls up.

“Good.”

And looks back at Faith.
“That thing that’s been hunting little one’s?”
“It’s making moves on our turf.”
“Maybe.”

“Rumor from the SS was over.”
“I said we had firsts.”

Camera pauses; the words stop tumbling out of his mouth for a moment.
“That cool?”

 

[Shalimar]

"Spirit? What bad vibe? This place feels normal to me. I grew up in this neighborhood, We moved in after this place was built, but I was still little. Maybe I'm just used to it." Faith offers.

"Its on our territory so its up to us to deal with. But totally thank Rumor for the offer of help, the spirit might be too big for us to handle as such new Uratha so we don't want to right off all the help we might need, but its definitely ours first. I talked to Candace about it tonight after all the Blood Talons gathered for a hunt in my honor. We hunted Buck With No Fear, I led the hunt an earned first blood." the girl said proudly.

"Anyway, about the spirit, she suggested that we talk to other spirits in the area and try to learn about the spirit, to learn its name, and to try to learn its Ban, and then we could plan from there. She also suggested that we should find a pack totem to represent us and bind us together as a pack, that it could really help in this hunt." the pink haired teen told the others. She was really looking forward to finding a totem for the pack. "I really think that finding a totem would be a good idea."
