Guide me, oh Magic 8-ball.

[nick_garou]

Now that there's another mage--that I know of--in Saint Claire, and he seems trustworthy, and the Magic 8-ball says I can trust him, and I've quasi-vetted him to make sure he won't spill the beans to the garou, and.... I called Charley over to Kenward's Curios and showed him the secret door that leads to Peter's old bedroom and sanctum--currently my sanctum. Except that my sanctum doesn't even take up half the room. So I offered Charley the other half and access to the library within. SERIOUSLY stressed the need for discretion coming and going. No cell phones on, double back in a car, leave the car at least a block or two away, etc. And watch out for Val. Not that I think Val'd do anything per se, but.... there's stuff in there that she ought not see lest it get spread to the four corners of the globe.




We talked a bit more about sanctums and ritual magic (very convenient having two adjoining sanctums IMO), garou and their tempers, and how getting a vasectomy might get Charley out of an arranged marriage intended to yield offspring--since he's not in a more progressive tribe like the Walkers. Seems like he knows a bit of Entropy and Mind. Nothing fancy or flashy--not that you need nor want to be. If I can get a better idea of what and how much he knows, sphere-wise, I might show him a few tricks he hasn't thought of yet--and maybe vice versa. i did advise him that Spirit magic is particularly useful when dealing with the garou, especially in shielding oneself from their own particular brand of static magic.



I emailed Salem about getting some brush piles built up in the spirit world out on the Glass Walkers' property out in the woods so I could practice working with fire. I'd suggested it as a punishment for a rited garou or perhaps as training for a cub--as it's tons easier for one of them in the war wolf form to lift and haul brush than it is for me to do it. He said he'd do it himself. In exchange, I need to bring milk and cereal to the Walker cubs because--and I quote Salem here--"the kids eat like locusts." Still, I ought to pick Salem up a gift of some sort--even though he said simply having me report back on the status of their rarely-visted woodsy property would be thanks enough.


There's a showing of the entire 6 episodes of Star Wars in Seattle starting tomorrow night and concluding Saturday night. I think I'm going to pop over for that, then spend Sunday enjoying the local culture/sights.
