nick_garou | Grocery delivery to Edgewood (Reply)

Someone left an Iron Man action figure tied around the neck of one of the pink flamingos outside my RV. Val. I hope. Unless it was a garou that spotted me a few nights ago in the spirit world. No. I don't think so. I think I'd have gotten a rude awakening--if I got an awakening at all.

I decided to partially ignore my crazy dreams and go interact with the garou again. I shed all of my lucky pennies and my new Talisman so they wouldn't ping as being magic in the event someone scanned and I wasn't able to shut them down fast enough. Then I melted one of the bramblefruit popsicles and poured it into the waterproof swimming container lanyard, which I wore around my neck. That way if someone did detect magic and ask me WTF, I could maybe have a little more time to shield myself while offering up the juiced bramblefruit as being the source of the magical "contamination." /That/ I could explain away. "I'd heard it can change people and garou, and that sometimes it's a good thing, and thought it might be useful to have in the event I got shot or kidnapped by a BSD or something--it might save my life in a no-other-options scenario. Why? Is that wrong?" That sounds pretty damn believable to me.

So after prepping myself, I went to the grocery store, bought a variety of foodstuff and snacks that'd keep for a while, and remembered at the last minute to discard all the plastic bags and go back and buy two bags made of recycled plastic. (D'oh. Don't want to offend Captain Planet, Nick Ol' Boy.) I was feeling adventurous, so I went to Edgewood just north of Kent Crossing for the second time ever. I ran into Sue there. We talked a bit. He seems really unhappy with his lot in life--or his tribe. Hard to tell, honestly. I think he's kind of an omega wolf type of individual. He dropped honorifics like nobody's business. I fished for information about the Black Furies maybe knowing someone I could talk to about getting counseling for runaways, but apparently Sue didn't know if the Black Furies here did that or not.

I also asked about Kavi and Rina. Sue said he saw them the other night and they seemed to be doing great. Secret motive for asking: I hadn't seen Rina in a while and was wondering if her drinking vampire blood had gotten her killed. Guess not. And it seems to be kept quiet, so I'll just reinforce not speaking about that.

Then Moros (his name refers to ancient Greek and the words "doom" and fate"--according to Google) showed up at the front door. Holy shit! The picture Val took of him with her cell did no justice to how huge this guy is. He and Sue seemed a little hostile to one another. Something about Moros giving chiminage (dictionary.com says it's like a toll or a fee) of some bane arrows (which are arrows that seek out banes and make them scream and are painful--one imagines more painful than simply being fucking SHOT by a fucking ARROW. Jesus. They are so fucking brutal.)

I didn't like the vibe in the room, so excused myself. Groceries delivered. New garou met. Didn't get my spleen pierced by an arrow. I'm going to call that a win.
