Emily leans against the wall under the yellowing lights of Makerith Motors in her battered overalls, once an electric blue but now muddied with various oils and fluids. Her bare feet enjoy the cool of the concrete floor as she drinks her beer.
It was time to start the pack working together. Properly. They'd tracked down the leaflets and knew they needed to track a group down.... but right now they barely knew one another.
Glad I dug out this old thing. This is easier than relying on phones. Plus, it's always fun to appear like a cryptic shaman... the Ithauer chuckles to herself.
She draws a chalk circle on the ground, and picks up the knife she uses for rituals - First Tongue runes gouged into it's blade - and slices across her palm, deeply, squeezing the blood into the centre of the circle.
Onetwothreefour...five...six...
She counted the dribbling red liquid into circle.
eighteen...nineteen....
Another drink of beer.
thirty-two... Thirty-three.
Quickly she wraps some gauze around her hand, and speaks gentle into the pulsing blood.
"Hector - I'm calling you all up. Thought we should do some bonding. Work as a Pack. Meet at my garage, Makerith Motors, on the East side of our territory. Emily."
The blood ripples and grows, taking the form of a shadowy crow, which then takes flight.
Emily undoes the bandages, slices the hand again, squeezes the 33 drops of blood, and begins talking.
"Patrick - I'm calling you all up...."
This is an open scene for all wolves! For those of you that don't know how Scarlet Messenger works, each wolf will get a crow show up and relay the message to them, inviting them to Emily's to try and get to know each other better and work as a pack.
