Before leaving the caern Monday afternoon, Jacinta and I had decided that I should focus my efforts on figuring out more about The Nothing (being offensive in the pursuit of knowledge) as opposed to warding the caern against it (being purely defensive). I mentioned how she might be able to enlist the garou to make some kind of ritual circle around the perimeter of the caern, thus getting them to do all the physical work for me and making it easier for me to come back later and charge the perimeter up with a ward. She's considering it. Time will tell. But I'm relatively certain I can use a Mind-Spirit-Correspondence-Prime blend to trigger a brief delaying effect should someone with ill-intent towards the caern try to enter the caern. That might briefly belay The Nothing (and other foes), provided the area within the caern is affected, not just the perimeter.

After hiking out of the woods, grabbing a shower, and reading a little more, I opted to pop into town to see about harvesting tass from the two nodes there. Mission accomplished. Ghost turned up at Harbor Park, bitched a little at how she was being treated by other garou and Val, and I pointed out that that's how people treat Ronin. She pointed out she was a Walker, but I pointed out she was more or less acting like a ronin and that nothing was going to change until she did something to change it--either joining the Walkers at this sept or going to find a new tribe. She's afraid if Walkers from elsewhere came here looking for her, none of the local Walkers would defend her. I pointed out that she needed to give them a reason to defend her.

I see a lot of my old self in her. The "fuck you all, I can make it on my own" mentality. That is a hard, lonely road to take; and it seems to be wearing harder on Ghost than it ever did on me. They're pack animals, and she has no pack. It's clearly hurting her.




Back to work, Nick.
