stereotypes and wyrmhounds.

[Gina McClaren] *Raucous melodic laughter and jingling, Gina stumbles out of of a local club, dressed to kill, or at the very least, drive a few people into sin. Like the slightly inebriated businessman she's pressing against the club wall with that buxom body of hers, oblivious to the open mouthed stare of a young bouncer. Fuck being melancholy. Fuck feeling used. Fuck ..her? Oh no, not for the panting yuppie she's crushed against. Tonight was about her. She's a sordid and suggestive picture, dangerous curvature poured into a cream colored minidress, color setting her caramel skin a glow. A shawl with trinkets rests about her hips, laughter echoing down the adjacent alley as she murmurs something that can't be decent into the fresh faced blond man's ear. A teasing smile as her hands slip across his chest... and .. somehow come away with his wallet. Slim fingers drop it easy as you please into her satchel as she looks around and gasps*

Peaches.. me coat! Stell enside ah reckon.. effen ye wan tae grab et.. ah'll catch oos a cab?

*A hooded wink*

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] It's cold. Chicago gets a whole lot colder in the winter than New York does, and though Lukas has lived through a few chilly winters in Boston, the Windy City's still a different ballpark. This is early November, though, and not yet weather for heavy overcoats and layer upon layer of wools and cottons. The Shadow Lord is in heavy jeans, distressed at the knees and thighs; a silk sweater under a wool coat that stops a short ways past the hip.

He's not out to trawl the clubs. He's not out to find an anonymous fuck. He's not out here for a smoke, either, or a stroll. The Ahroun is walking steadily, purposefully; he cuts through alleys and crosses streets diagonally. There's something cagey about the way his feet fall, the way his shoulders move. He looks like he might be looking for trouble. He looks like what he is: a Full Moon under a full moon, and not quite so stable as he pretends to be.

Up ahead a bar door spills open and Gina McClaren pours out, all jingling bells and husky laughter. She presses her young man up against the wall of the alley Wyrmbreaker is pacing through. She slips his wallet out of his coat and then sends him back for her nonexistent jacket, and by the time the poor fellow stumbles off, Lukas is very near. Close enough that it's the easiest thing in the world -- as easy as it was for her to filch a wallet -- for him to reach out and catch her by the wrist.

Lukas reels her in with one hand, reaching out to pick her satchel off her shoulder with the other. When it's firm in his hand he lets the woman go, his eyes on her as he undoes the clasps or clips or zippers.

"Determined to prove all the stereotypes true, are you?"

[Gina McClaren] OCH! FOOK AFT YE TOSSE- *She snaps, savagely. There's a tone not heard often from the soft strider kin. Pure unadulterated ear splitting rancor, delivered in a voice as expressive as it is loud. Her hair fans out behind her as she whirls around, spitting her assailant with a glare - only to go ashen as its Wyrmbreakers face that greets her. Fear spikes the air electric, pikey falling silent as her satchel is lifted down one arm and the contents collected as easily as the little strider was. Her jaw twitches and she arcs an eyebrow, but her voice is considerably smaller and softer now.*

Reckon stereotypes are mostly based en truth darlin.. ..

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Lukas's eyes are level and hard, cold and pale as ice. He rummages through her satchel without looking, and his eyes get harder and colder as he feels one... two... nearly half a dozen others.

The Shadow Lord pulls them out one by one, flipping them open onehanded to expose credit cards, driver's licenses, wads or neat sheafs of cash, receipts, phone numbers, pictures of friends and family.

"Jason T. Weissman," he reads, "Senior Personal Financial Representative."

He snaps that wallet shut. It's thin and neat, black leather. Dropped back into her satchel, it thumps lightly against her other things.

"Benjamin Chung. Systems Analyst and Engineer." Another wallet into the bag, battered and brown. "Eric North. Consumer Lending Consultant." And another, fat with cash.

"Johnathan Hendriks." Lukas's eyes pin Gina over the edge of the wallet as he snaps it shut. "Criminal Defense Attorney-at-Law. Really sounds like someone you should be pissing off."

He tosses it into her satchel and pushes the mess back at her. "Walk with me." And he starts walking away from the bar that her young mark disappeared into.

[Gina McClaren] *Dark eyes meet Wyrmbreakers only briefly, Luna's pale reflection looming behind an icy glare. Bangles clink discordant as she teases a hand through long brown hair., lips pursing as she focuses instead on his cheekbones.*

Sounds like somewan ah should be pissen on. Ye notice the photo's? Ee's got a wife an' fookin children... Skirt chasin chancer.

*The pretty strider kin sings at his heels, all too happy to be trotting away - and quickly from the Bar where Eric North would soon discover she hadn't a coat at all. She catches up to his long strides and trots beside him, head tilted up at the full moon, trying to figure his sudden interest.*

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Lukas is well over six feet. His legs are long and his stride is long, and he doesn't make an effort to shorten them for Gina's sake. His mood is unstable tonight, moon-touched. He's irritated at her, at what he's caught her doing, though only faintly; there are things on his mind that weigh on him, though only indistinctly. Mostly, it's the moon itself, so huge, so white, so angry.

Lukas snorts under his breath as she points out the wife and kids. He casts a glance at the strider kin -- over his shoulder, past his collar, it's a slice of his face, a cut of brow and jaw and nose, a glint of pale blue.

"Are you about to tell me you're stealing out of a sense of justice? Save it for the jury when you get caught." He turns forward again. "Why on earth are you enticing men for their wallets, anyway? Don't tell me this is how you get by."

[Gina McClaren] Och nae darlin... Jes sayin tha felly deserved et. Handsy fooker anyhows. Rude as shite.

*She catches his sleeve, attempting to keep pace with the man that was out striding her as easily as breathing. Her charms jingle, her scent faint and smelling of spices and road dust and Owl and cherry whiskey. Her fingers gentle firm against his arm as the kin sings.*

Peaches.. esnae how ah gi' by... wh-.. ye.. peaches!

*She lets go and falls behind. Not about to continue loping at his side like a heeling Sheltie. A rueful shake of her head and laughter, expression warm, if slightly exasperated. Amusement dancing in her eyes.*

Yer either gintae 'ave tae slow up, fook aft, oor carry me.. ah've nae the length o leg ye 'ave, Tall dark an' moonstruck.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] "Don't call me peaches," Lukas says, low, even, but only because he's consciously keeping his voice level. He does slow down, though, marginally. "Have you managed to make contact with that wolf of your tribe? Layla... Hunter?"

[Gina McClaren] Tha ah've loves. fed her, clothed her. Gi'en her shelter. Aul o et. Reckon wan o ye's pess out o luck, as she doesnae wan me. *A curt nod, and a shrug. A sigh as she rubs her cheek.*

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] "She doesn't want you?" That gets Lukas's attention, which is otherwise a mutable, capricious thing tonight, flicking from shadow to light, moon to street to passing car to alley cat. The Ahroun stops, turns, faces the Strider kin so swiftly she'll have to pull up short or smack into him. "You're her blood. This isn't an optional thing."

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] Some picked pockets for fun.
Some picked pockets for money.
Others still asked nicely for cash with cardboard signs and adorable smiles.

Chloe stalked the mile because there was an abundance of people who were willing to throw a five-spot at her and tell her to get a job and take a shower. You get used to it. Chloe probably did need a shower. It was strange, because her hair was always clean. Her face might be dirt-splattered, her jeans so dirty they could probably stand up on their own if she took them off, and her sweater riddled with holes to the point that it was almost a formality, but god damnit her hair would be clean.

Chloe walked down the street, and green eyes looking down, paying more attention for cats than anything. Packpack came off one shoulder and a bag of catfood was produced. She shook it, making the contents make the teltale sound of I'm going to feed you.

"Here kitty... c'mere, it's okay."

She even bought the good shit, too. Chloe was eating out of dumpsters, but her cats would live like queens.

[Gina McClaren] Och! *She brings a hand up and presses it to his sternum, maintaining their distance with a shake of her head. A tinkle of charms as her hand drops from the shadowlord's chest. Face upturned to look up.. waaaay up at him. An impressive shrug.*

Said she doesnae wan tae ward me, an ah'd gi' by wi' out. Can come tae her effen ah've trouble. Effen ah can find here, reckon. But naethen official-like. Like yerself ah reckon.

[Katherine Bellamonte] Katherine Bellamonte was in so many ways the utter opposite to her Alpha.

Where he was dark, she was fair, where he tended toward pensive silence as a matter of course, Katherine preferred a slightly more ... open manner of expressing her feelings on any given subject. Capricious as any alley cat, the Silver Fang that emerges suddenly (we say suddenly but for a Garou she may well have been watching this little exchange for far longer) under the light of one of many street-lamps governing this particular street on the Magnificent Mile is dressed somewhat casually for her tastes.

In a pair of dark washed denim jeans, boots and a calf-length white winter's coat, Meridian's Truth looks much like any other young sophisticated woman out on the town; except, perhaps, that behind her regal features -- a monster lurked in loose-fitted chains.

She does not rush to announce her presence, there is little need, really. She feels Lukas' nearness as if it were no more than a natural extension of her being, a certain itch if you would that spoke of a connection. She steps off the curb, and begins to move toward him, her hands tucked into coat pockets, breath misting in the evening air.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] "Ridiculous," Lukas snaps. Then he falls sharply silent, frowning, thinking for a moment.

"I'll have a talk with her about it," he says then. "As far as I know she's the only Strider in this city. So she'll either accept her duty as the only representation of Owl, or I'll find someone to ward you. Have you got a preference?"

[The Purifier] The mile. So great they called it Magnificent. Like it were the valley of kins and queens. Glittering shop windows and expensive (over-priced) shit that wasn't up to his own expectations when it came right down to it. What was he doing in that part of town anyway? Why, looking of course. Not all of his designs were strictly his designs. The best of them stole from one another. Sometimes blatantly. He was a virtuoso of creation, perhaps, but coming up with the ideas was not his strong suit.

A sleek black bike races down the mile. Engine reaching heights of purring that cats everywhere would envy. It looks futuristic and stylish. The kind of thing Will Smith would ride in IRobot. It weaves between traffic easily and then darts to one side and parks in a spot not even a SmartCar could take from him. He throws down the kickstand, stands up and dismounts. Pulling his jacket closer to himself. Not his usual brown suede tonight, but a riding jacket. All bulky hidden plates and kevlar in case he wiped out. Although honestly he'd be more worried about the bike in that case.

[Gina McClaren] Och. Nae russians? Side frem ath ah'm moore oor less content. Ah'd say jes raffle me aft o yer next moot, but ye dinnae look like yer hurtin fer coin.. *A cheeky grin spreads across her features, and she shakes her head, growing more serious as she sings softly.* Reckon ah'll find somewan loves. An effen ye dinnae mooch feel like bein ET, en tha mean time, ah understan. Ah'll gie by, nae matter.

*Her eyes slip sideways at Katherine's approach, fang getting a worried pinch of her lips.*

Allo Katherine loves... mind me askin.. how's Gabbie?

[Katherine Bellamonte] Katherine's expression betrays a small amount of lingering concern at mention of her younger sister as she crosses the street to come to a halt beside the Strider and her Alpha.

"She does better by the day I am happy to announce, a few more spent at the Loft with her mother's intensive care-taking and I believe she will be clamoring for the door once more." The blond's lips curve a little in amusement.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] "Gina, I'd be honored to ward you in the meantime -- "

-- abruptly Lukas breaks off. His head snaps around, his profile sharp as a wild thing's, eyes narrowed, face turned to the wind. His nostrils flare once, twice.

Katherine is near, but he's not looking at her. He's looking past her. Chloe is farther down the same alleyway Lukas, Kate and Gina stand at the mouth of. Ben is perhaps twenty yards away on the main street, parking his bike at the curb.

All of them can hear a low, subdermal rumbling -- too irregular to be machinery. It's getting louder.

Lukas turns back to Gina. "Run." He points back the way they came. "That way. Don't stop. I'll send word."

(okay, i'm allowing everyone one single turn to activate whatever you guys wanna activate!)

[Katherine Bellamonte] Katherine pivots, her attention fixed on Lukas' suddenly intense expression. Her reaction rides atop his own, she is instantly scanning the street-side, instinctively moving to put herself between the retreating Kinfolk and whatever it is that has caught her Alpha's attention.

"What is it, Lukas?"

(eeeee, activating Resist Pain!)

[Gina McClaren] *Gina blinks, staring at Wyrmbreaker in mild confusion at the topic switch. A heart beat passes between them and then - * Och Fookin Hell...
*She's off, jingling back the way they'd come at a steady bouncing lope.*

[The Purifier] He pauses. Rumbling. And it wasn't his bike. He'd turned that off. The buzzing in his nether regions remained but he had most certainly shut down the bike. He glances at the dash just to make sure. Yup, it was off. Which meant it was something else. OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE NOT AGAIN!

He growls and peels his jacket off. He was gonna be naked again tonight and he fucking liked these pants. He was going through them faster than he would have liked. He seriously had to find someone to dedicate something as his second skin. Waking up after a frenzy in the shreds of your dignity wasn't fun.

Helmet and jacket are thrown over his bike and he's off running towards the sound. Who runs towards danger? The Purifier does. "Evil, prepare to be cleansed..." He mutters.

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] She stops, and her bag comes off her shoulder immediately. She looks at the cat and gives it a little shooing motion. The animal scuffies off, and instead she is rutting through her bag for something. It looks like mud and what-have-you in a bottle. She looks, she pulls the bottle to her lips, and downs it.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Lukas doesn't get a chance to reply. The ground bursts open in a shower of asphalt and dirt. Breaching out of it, fast and graceful and effortless as fish leaping from water, are four hunched, hungry shapes. Their quadripedal stance and cagey movements have something in common with hounds. Curs. Whipped, mangy dogs. Their snapping jaws and their dead eyes, their scaled skin and strange, prehistoric hunch give them something the look of reptiles; dinosaurs.

Plates of bone and chitin hang about their bodies. It's impossible to tell if this strange armor is crafted or somehow grown from their very bodies. There's not enough time to look. As one, the creatures attack.

Recap coming in 5!

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Other than the clanking of their bone and chitin armor and the snapping of their teeth, the hounds of the wyrm are eerily silent. They come on with preternatural dexterity, light on their scaled and clawed feet.

Two of them immediately close on the members of the Unbroken, perhaps drawn to the strength of their pack bond. They attempt to seize the Fang and the Lord, to bear them down for their brethren to tear to shreds.

Their teeth snap. One seizes the blackfurred Ahroun, but his strength is more than a match for the bony creature on him. He throws it off. Another lunges at the silver-white Philodox, and fails to even touch her.

Then it's just carnage. Garou and wyrmhounds snap at each other, the former snarling and growling, the latter simply -- silent.

Even when two of their number fall. Even when a third is brought down, panting and twitching, barely alive.

There's still a fourth. He's unharmed, his eyes blank, devoid of hate, devoid of intelligent, devoid of everything but the starkest, most primitive hunger.

He throws his head back like a dog about to howl. What comes out of his throat is a sound unlike any mortal canine's:

a shuddering, bellowing, obscene noise, vibrating the ground beneath their feet, exploding streetlights half a block away.

An instant later the ground behind him explodes upwards. Chunks of asphalt fly everywhere. A dumpster -- relatively neat and clean, because this is the Mile, after all -- goes flying like a child's toy.

A fifth creature twists out of the ground, graceful as a breaching dolphin. It lands on not four legs but six, an enormous creature, armor clanking against scaled knees. A shimmer surrounds it, as though it were several hundred degrees warmer than the air around it. It has no eyes. It has empty holes that burn with flame.

When the roars at them, its maw is a white-hot cavern.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] The Garou organize, but imperfectly. The elder of the two Ahroun takes point on the great beast. His packmate, perhaps used to flanking his targets in countless maneuvers just like this, flanks the Beast; the other Ahroun follows. Chloe is left alone on the single wyrmhound remaining.

But the wyrmhound is no longer attacking. It's channeling, sending its own energy into the Beast. Its armor-plates stand on end. Black lightning crackles around its pricked ears, and every time it channels, the Beast grows

stronger.

The enormous wyrmbeast is slow, slower than almost all the Garou here, but immensely powerful. When its massive paw swipes out, the gesture is almost casual. It catches Wyrmbreaker square in the chest. Wyrmbreaker is no lightweight: he's huge in his hispo form, nearly six feet at the shoulder, well over half a ton in weight.

He goes flying. Soars back fifteen feet, lands in a skidding heap, scrabbles to a stop against the wall. He's on his feet a second later, running back to rejoin the battle

while his packmate, meanwhile, is grasped at -- missed -- and then crushed under the Beast's massive paw nonetheless. It's blunt trauma, but the Beast is so very strong. Red blood gouts out of Truth's Meridian's mouth, her internal organs bruised and ruptured by the force.

The Beast turns on Ben, then. Snaps into him so hard he tears a good chunk of the Gaian's shoulder away. He doesn't bother to deal another blow. He wheels on the last of their number, the Gnawer Theurge, and his mouth drops open.

Heat gouts out of his mouth, white-hot, shedding globules and runners of liquid flame. It's intensely hot. She can feel it burning right through her fur, sinking into her flesh, pooling in the hollows of her body, searing to the bone.

He's nothing but fire and rage inside. Nothing but searing heat. And that heat just won't quit. It won't die. The Beast rages back to life, molten gashes on its body resealing, six legs scrabbling for purchase.

It stomps the Theurge into the ground with a single smash of its paw. She lies still.

It smashes the lithe Fang back, sending her soaring much as her Alpha had.

It tears into Ben -- doing little damage, but only because of the Gaian's own resilience.

And then, ominously, it treads after Kate, intent on destruction.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] The Beast must, for a while, feel utterly invincible to the small and dwindling force of Garou that stand against it.

They bite at it again and again. Their teeth glance off its heavy bone plates and chitin armor. They bounce off its scales. They do little to the juggernaut, even though they can sense -- they can see, from the great bellowing gashes of white-hot flame on its sides -- that it's close, so close, to death.

Then it retaliates. Belches flame and fire all over Truth's Meridian. Sears her fur away, scorches her skin, melts her flesh to her bones. Sends her down, as damaged as her Alpha, more, dying, dead.

...and alive again. Vibrantly, radiantly, furiously alive, rising out of her own ashes. Her wounds are sealing of their own accord. Her pelt grows white and luxurious over the charred flesh, the burned skin and deformed muscle, and all of it, all of it, is healing and resealing and

almost perfect, Truth's Meridian fights on. She and Purifier tear at the Beast again

and again
and again
and again

and again.

Until finally, after more futile blows than either will care to think about, and Kate at least will not even remember --

-- one last, crushing bite from the Gaian Ahroun takes the Beast past what it can withstand.

It arches its head back and roars, a moaning sound like steel bending. Armor falls off its body, piece by piece at first, and then entire swaths of plates and scales at once, collapsing from its body, sheafing off until Purifier, who is the only one remaining conscious or in control of his own wits, can see that all the Beast ever really was was armor, bone and chitin, around a core of flame.

That's guttering now.

That's sputtering, flaring blue and red, orange, dimming, burning out.

The last of the armor clanks to the ground. For a moment, the very heart of the Beast hangs in the air before them: a tiny, shrinking ball of fire that twists on itself, crumples, burns away.

It fades to nothing. The alleyway seems very dark in the aftermath. Consciousness is beginning to return to Truth's Meridian, the haze of frenzy lifting away.

They can hear Wyrmbreaker's labored breathing; Chloe's as well, much quieter for her homid form.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] (final damage tally:

Wyrmbreaker 7agg
Kate 2lethal (healing now) + rage revive
Chloe 4agg 3lethal
Ben 2agg

Famine, Death, War and Pestilence: 7hp each
Beast: 10hp, but got healed repeatedly)

[The Purifier] The beast falls. And he lets out a bellow of Rage. Pure fury at his own failures. A tortured scream. His head tipped back and maws yawning open. His huge paws dig and scrabble in the arm plates. Continuing to smash at them angrily after they fall to the ground. Cracking plates like ceramic plates. Picking one up in his huge teeth and crunching down until it breaks and falls from his mouth.

Then he lets out another bellowing scream of triumph. His emotions running in all directions. The scream melts away as he shrinks back to his fleshy human form. Naked. Again. For the second time in as many nights. Fucking naked in the streets amid piles of Wyrm stuff. With fallen comrades around.

He rises slowly from his knees and goes over to Hatchet. Making sure the last embers are out. Leaning down to check the man's vitals.

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Wyrmbreaker is, as they say, a hot mess. Literally. Though the liquid flame has largely burned out, he's badly burnt -- all blisters and black scorches and dead white deep burns. Huge patches of his fur is simply gone, incinerated away. One ear is completely eaten away by searing, gelatinous flame.

He comes to groggily at first, and then with increasing alertness. The hispo's big paws scrabble at the alley floor, fail to find purchase. Fail to find strength. He lies still again, whuffs.

"Bandages... in dedicated bag."

A small leather bag melds out of his body, drops to the alley floor. When they bring the bag before him, he noses through it, delicately picks out the last bloody bandage with his teeth. It melts away in his mouth, releasing its energy directly into his body. The worst of the burns fade away. Some of his fur regrows. His ear regenerates, and then he's getting to his feet, padding over to nose at Chloe's face and trampled body until she, too, begins to revive.

[Katherine Bellamonte] The Silver Fang's senses are somewhat slower to return to her after the Beast falls. She remembers battle, she recalls some vague sense of heat searing her flesh in the midst of it all and then -- and then -- there is nothing until moments ago, her Rage fading until there was only the creature left, claws outstretched as if to rake at a monster now fallen. She drops forward, panting heavily for a moment before the snowy white creature lopes across to her fallen Alpha and whines, an anxious sound before she nuzzles him with her snout.

Get up, the sound encourages.

And when he does just this there is a whuff of pleasure, the Philodox's tail begins to wag as she follows his head.

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] Chloe isn't moving. Being a bloody, awful mess does mitigate the fact that she smells vaguely of garbage. It's the scent of a Bone Gnawer post-battle. Blood and destruction and burnt hair and fur and muscle and garbage.

She gets nosed a few times, and eventually the Bone Gnawer stirs. She groans and rolls over to her side. Moving was not easy.

She comes back around, and her reaction is immediate. The redhead- all bloodied and trampled, focuses enough that she shifts into glabro. Larger, with lines more harsh and teeth sharper than necessary.

She should start to patch herself together.

"Got some talens in my backpack... I'll help cleanse this."

[The Purifier] Done with Lukas, he helps revive Chloe. Get her up and moving again. It's not the way she probably imagined waking up, to a naked man-boy. But we can't all get what we want. He rises again. Letting out a heavy sigh and glancing around. Going over to the shattered remains of the creature's armor, he picks up a piece of it's armor and holds it over his manhood.

Then he shows everyone his scrawny ass as he trots over to retrieve his riding jacket and hides behind his bike to slip it on.

And soon pads back. Still covering himself with an armor plate. "I really need some clothes that don't shred when I change."

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Wyrmbreaker whuffs -- something like amusement, though tired. His rage is spent; his spirit totally drained; his body battered and bruised. A productive full moon, all in all.

"Come by the Brotherhood. If our Theurge can't line you up with some dedicated gear, the Sentinels' Theurge will." The hispo noses the armor plates, then raises his head again to look at the two near-strangers, a Gaian and a Gnawer. "It was an honor to fight by you two. Let's bring something home for the Wyrmpole and get rid of everything else."

[Katherine Bellamonte] The Silver Fang dutifully picks up an armor plate, though the noises she makes are ones akin to distress at touching something she considers foul. She waits, the armor plating held between two large paws until decisions have been made before she nods in the strangers directions, signifying her approval.

Even if her hold on the armor suggests she wishes to cleanse her paws as soon as she's able.

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] !!rite of cleansing!!!
Dice Rolled:[ 6 d10 ] 2, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9 (Success x 4 at target 6) [WP]

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] The others get to taking back their trophies and disposing of the problem. Chloe, however, begins to try and cleanse the area. It's a rite she knows backwards and forwards, but one that is still treated with reverence.

After all was said and done, she stops, and she offers a lopsided smile.

"It was an honor to fight with you all, too... I'm Chloe. Chloe Rowan Abernathy. Whispers to Nothing- Bone Gnawer, crescent moon, cliath... and alpha of the forgotten."

She waits a moment.

"You guys are amazing. If you ever need anything, I'll do whatever I can for you."

[The Purifier] He glances between all of them. Again, he was naked around a bunch of women. Why was he always ending up naked around women after these fights? Like, really hot ones too. They were Garou, but still. It just added to his embarrassment. He's starting to shiver a bit, what with being naked in the cold. He shifts his weight from foot to foot. Anxious.

"I'm Benjamin Purifier Abramson. Ahroun Claith of the Children of Gaia." As if his breeding hadn't already shouted his tribe to all present. There was a boyish nobility about him. Even when he was anxious and naked. Peacemakers, spiritual leaders, and revolutionaries in his bone structure, his eyes.

"I'll take you up on that." To Lukas. "But for now, someone have a car? Hopefully not with leather seats? Cold leather and my berries don't get along."

[Lukas Wyrmbreaker] Lukas takes his Glabro form, remaining out of Homid. All the better to heal with. He picks out a scrap of armor, too - the carapace that had once fit over the Beast's head.

"Lukas Wyrmbreaker," he says, largely for Chloe's benefit. Purifier herad this yesterday. "Ahroun Fostern of the Shadow Lords, and of the Unbroken." Then, "I can give you a ride, but I've got leather seats." He grins suddenly. It's toothy and ugly in this form, rather savage. "Maybe you can sit on your jacket. I'm not sure I want your 'berries' on my seat nayway."

[Chloe Rowan Abernathy] She nods something solid, and waits until everyone else is done. The Gnawer doesn't touch the spoils of war until everyone else is done and has what they want.
