Meeting the Boys

[Dark Passenger]

Stop by and you can meet the boys. Digger had said. Well here I am, fresh and fruity, early in the morning.

Melissa had been looking forward to this. Seeing another part of town at first, then the possibility of meeting all Crusaders. Sure they're a nice bunch of guys, not only blood crazed pit fighters. Or not at all. She wears her leather jacket again, hopefully not looking too sweet. She took a cab to the Prophecy Motorcycles. She has no car at the moment, and who knows... she might be buying a motorbike soon.

Let's see if I fit in with the pack first.

Since she has no idea where she is supposed to go, she just enter the retail area of the club. 'Hello,' she says to no one in particular when stepping inside.

[Swift]

Skaald was an early riser type of person, so he was often the first into the shop. Not always, but often. Most especially on days that he had a particular bit of work to do out back. Today he was running a bit late. He had needed to pick up a few extra things from the hardware store and that had turned into an absolute disaster. Not wanting to start work pissed, he had decided to stop and grab donuts. He didn't grab any coffee. As most of the pack knew, he had had one bad experience with coffee and an emergency shape-shifting and that had been enough.

So, somewhat gruff but in a decidedly better mood than an hour or so ago, he arrives at Prophecy and comes through the front door. He was more than used to smelling Uratha around the shop, but this early it wasn't usually this strong. He stops, inhaling deeply and covering it instinctively as a sigh. There were two people in the front and one he was certain wasn't one of the People. He doubted that one of the Pure would simply waltz into the shop, but they were at war, so he wasn't about to take that on faith.

Staring with no small amount of challenge in his stance he calmly sets the box of deliciously hot fried dough on a nearby counter. He nods to the unfamiliar face, maybe just a drifter or a customer who didn't know? Doubt it. He gives Beth a nod. "Good morning," he says to either or both of them.

[Dark Passenger]

Melissa steps towards the counter with a smile when someone else arrives from behind her. With a nod to the black haired woman behind the counter, and then turning around to the... sniff sniff.... fellow Uratha, she says, 'Good morning.' Hopefully one of the Crusaders. And the woman, how she is connected to the group?

I better be secure. Although... she only knows the Alpha by the name Digger. 'I think I met the owner of this club a couple of days ago, among some other friends?' Melissa turns towards the unfamiliar werewolf.

'He told me to come and take a look around here, if I were interested.'

[Dale Hunt]

Dale stepped into the main floor of the store, coming through a back door that probably led to the workshop...considering how greasy the Rahu looked that morning. He was wearing an old pair of jeans, stained with grease and oil, a white tank top that was far from being white at this point. One of his tattoos was showing on his right shoulder, which happened to identify him as a Blood Talon. The one on his left was a newer addition, which happened to be a depiction of wolf head bursting through a historical crusader helmet. The word Crusaders was above the wolf head, and the word California right beneath it.

Surprisingly enough, Dale was actually an early riser, and tended to go for runs at the break of dawn, doing some patrolling of the pack's turf before clocking in at Prophecy. Noticing that Skaald was hanging around Beth and some other pretty girl, he decided to walk up to see what they were up to. As he got closer, the Rahu recognized the other Cahalith, having bumped into her and Nick in South Sac not that long ago.

"Hey y'all," said Dale as he approached them. He wasn't exactly sure as to why the Ghost Wolf was there, but since he had given her a map that outlined the pack territories, he assumed that Digger had told her to swing by. "You shopping for a bike, Melissa?" asked the Rahu, offering her a quick smirk.

[John Holt]

The deep sound of the trike can be heard pulling into the parking lot before dying. Several seconds later, John enters the garage with the usual easy smile, while wearing the typical black pants and shirt combo he is usually wearing, along with his Crusader's vest. However, there was one stark difference today.

There was no white dog-collar symbolising his devotion and profession.

"Good morning, everyone. At least, I do hope its good," John said to the pack before turning his attention to the unknown wolf and offering a hand. "John Holt, nice to meet you."

At least, he hoped it was nice to meet her. If she turned out to be trouble, she certainly picked the right place.

[Swift]

Melissa's explanation makes sense. Digger had used Prophecy as a public place in their territory to introduce new potential prospects pretty much exclusively, though he or one of the others had generally escorted them here. Then Dale shows up and confirms the story and Skaald relaxes.

As Nick and then Chap show up he becomes even more so. With pack on his side even if she turned out to be trouble he was certain they would be fine. He gives Dale a chin up-nod and another to Nick. Chap gets a grin and a "Good morning!"

To Melissa he responds, "Skaald. Glad to meet you. Shall we move this party from the front entry then?"

[Dark Passenger]

Where there was only one wolf at first, Melissa is now quite sure she is in the right place. When she hears the second rumbling engine she realizes they only appear to her as the Crusader's own way of howling. So there is only one good answer.

'Oh who knows, I've always liked the look of a bike.' She shrugs sweetly, she mostly likes it because her father particularly disliked bikes. 'But I should try a test ride before I decide.'

'Hey Nick.' Melissa nods to him. Then she turns to John, 'Good morning John. If I may speak for myself, it is a good morning, meeting you all.' They all look nice, so far. And yeah, they have names such as Skullsplitter, but maybe that makes it all more exciting.

'Hello Skaald, that sounds great.' Even though she has no idea what to expect.
