Finding their Place Redux

[Teeramus]

Chuck sat replying to an email on his phone in the William A Carroll Amphitheatre in front of the lake and across the road from 'Fairytale Town' while he waited for the rest of his pack to arrive. It was early morning this time and the peals of laughter and screams of delight were just beginning from the playground, replacing the eerie silence of a park at night, surrounded by traffic and the noise of the city.

He was frustrated. Holding a pack together never seemed like such hard work, and yet last time he was here he had an entirely different set of wolves with him. He wanted his pack to run well, smoothly, efficiently and wondered exactly what they needed to make his dream a reality while he waited for the rest of his pack to arrive.

Chris strolls into view wearing the same white hoodie had been wearing since he arrived in Sacramento, as usual ear bugs plugged into his ears and a tired look on his face. You know your tired when you day dream about being able to sleep. He walks up to the pack leader and Bridger and offers them a simple "Yo" before taking a seat next to Chuck so that he can prop his head down on his fist and use the bench to support his elbow. He hoped that this meeting wouldn't drag on so that he could return to the shitty hotel he came from, bury himself under the blankets and return to pretending that none of this was real.

Chuck looked up from his phone to give Bridger a welcoming smile. Despite the man harsh demeanor sometimes, he seemed to be genuine and friendly with those he knew. "Business actually." he replied before spending another few seconds signing off and sending the email. Slipping the phone back into his back pack. He stood, looking at Chris' weary expression. He'd never know a Uratha to be so lethargic and gave him a considering look.

"Welcome again Chris. You didn't make our meeting at the university, but this is our territory now. There is a certain area in the Hisil here that requires some investigating, but first we should familiarize our-selves with the park in general. There's a locus over by the amphitheater we can shift in there." He said, beginning to move towards the structure. "Oh, I heard from Virgil. He wont be joining us." he said with a serious look. Was there some frustration in there? Probably.

So this park was their turf now? A park. A place where people walked their dogs, had pick-nicks, and sailed kites, and it was all theres. soooo awesome Chris wasn't pleased to hear that Virgil wouldn't be joining them, he wondered if that girl from before would be here but he doubted it, which meant that already this packs numbers were dwindling, even he knew that this wasn't a good sign but he decides to not dwell on it, what difference did it make in the end, it wasn't on him to hold the group together, his only concern was with going with the flow until he figured out a way to cope with this new life or find a way to return to his old one, which ever came first. "Lead the way then boss man"

The pack heads to the park, exploring the ampitheater and finding the locus therein. Things seem still, and the locus is completely empty of essence.

[Teeramus]

"Here's the locus." He said to the others, pointing out what should now be obvious to them. "No essence at all?" he said to himself pondering the implications.

Just because they had a verbal agreement to take ownership of this territory didn't mean Chuck was going to let his guard down. He took a look at the area around the locus, in this realm and the next.

Both Bridger and Chuck look across the gauntlet, with the hazy fog that obscures it. There seems to be something on the other side of the locus that is moving about, but its hard to tell what it is other than it is big.
