I spent most of Tuesday in bed, covers over my head, trying not to die. Note to self: stay away from spiritually awakened rum. I napped off and on most of the day, played a little "Star Wars: Force Unleashed" on the Xbox, then spent the evening reading the remaining two books from my interlibrary loan request. Neither was particularly interesting. A gloriously lazy day--and some downtime that was much needed.
Met with Mouse in the park on Wednesday. She managed to catch one of the wasps for me, alive, so I'll see what I can do with it. The Garou seem to have a good idea on where the wasps came from before, so I no longer need to worry about that. They also seem to be more and more convinced that they're going to have to relocate to the city temporarily while the caern is being inhabited by wasps and a queen is born. Mouse thinks this option will be so revolting to some that they will simply go live in the mountains. Well, good! We don't want them in the city among humans, anyway! Mouse also mentioned that two city spirits have come to her and making overtures as a replacement for chimera, and there's thoughts that maybe the node in the park will become a new caern that the garou will have to share with others. I kind of like that idea, actually. Mouse then told me about how the Glass Walkers have roach as a totem spirit, and I think I surprised her by not going all "ew." I briefly had one of those hissing cockroaches back when I was about 10 and going through a bug phase. (Boys will be boys.) Of course, I managed to accidentally kill it, but.... They're not bad and they're actually even fairly clean--so long as you've got them in a clean environment.
I extended an invitation for Mouse and Salem to come over to the houseboat at some point. Neither knows where I live--just Val. A part of me is screaming "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?!?!", but.... I don't know. It feels right. And they might get crowded soon and I could put maybe one other person up there. Two if they don't mind really, really, really close quarters. Maybe I'm seeking the family I never really had since my mom and dad split up? Maybe I'm just horribly alone. Maybe I just need to feel useful. We'll see where it goes. If it turns out to be a bad idea, I can always sell the boat and buy a new one or rent an apartment or cabin or something.
Okay. Time to head over to the sanctum to see about doing some research with this wasp. I was going to try and get an idea about the location of its origins, but it looks like the garou and Val have figured that out. I think I'll try and determine if the wasp has a mind I can read, if there is a hive mind aspect that might be exploited later (a la a Manchurian Candidate situation), and what its dreams involve. If it's anticipating something to come, or has an idea about timing of things to come, that might be very useful. But I've got serious, serious doubts about this.
