    Midtown - Physical Realm - Dusk

    Southeast of the rail yard Tur, across the river, and many blocks down streets that turn residential, is the intersection of Q and 34. It's an innocuous neighborhood. A snazzy apartment complex on one corner displays a large Q, in case the residents forget which street they live on. Across from it is a little yellow house and a power pole. On that power pole is a 5g relay hub. A relay hub that has become a hot topic in the news. Some have argued that people in the area have gotten sick, and it's all the relay's fault. Others claim it is a gateway to a faster information highway and more should be installed. But no one's arguing over the strange disappearances that have been growing more frequent in the neighborhood. No one's even acknowledged it.

    Device-Addiction has promised Clarions Call assistance and information, their down payment, to remove the Azlu that has taken up residence at this fount of data. Bandwidth is gold when data is the currency of Sacramento's spirit courts.

    Midtown - Hisil Side - Dusk

    Southeast of the rail yard Tur where motes of rust and steel dwell, over the once raging river spirit that now meanders peacefully, winding down roadways that are becoming increasingly real as they are patrolled by traffic lights and police cruisers, is a thick wall of webs. Webs that span gray translucent houses and sleeping spirits of trees. Webs that bulge at random, weak electricity spirits fading as their essence is slowly drained away. Motes do not swirl here, anything that could contain essence has already been sucked dry or is trapped in the webs.

    Emily Makerith , Tiny , @Nathaniel Dormur , Chris Laurent Please post active gifts/equipment/form in post and which side of the gauntlet you're on. Remember it takes a Locus to step sideways.

    Tiny shows up where Emily said to meet, leaving his blue Honda sandwiched between a couple of Toyotas. He arrives early, catching an early dinner at a nearby friend chicken food truck. He gets it ordered as mild as they can do it. Unfortunately, Tiny's efforts to order it "no spice." have the opposite effect, perhaps the owner didn't like bald men in suits? The heat from the chicken certainly gets his attention. This has him sweating profusely, keeping the pain inside, where only Skolis-ur can watch with disapproval. Tiny is such trial to the secondborn. He gets a few extra pieces and some rolls for the others while he lets the water numb the pain.

    He looks at the 5G tower. Progress for sure, but that little box had its own spirit, part of a growing descant that was probably deep in the hisil and fighting to usurp the previous generation of tech. Of course, internet spirits were playing both sides against each other to boost their own power, while electricity spirits, according to some conspiracies, were playing the long con on all of them, metaphorical arms dealers, making them so dependent on the invisible fire that the choir held all the power. Tiny shook his head 'And we'll have to fix that too at some point.'

    He has his trusty Fireflash with him, as well as his dedicated Suit . The idea of a self-repairing suit never gets old. He has left the tie at home, the concept of fighting with a noose around his neck just a little too extreme.


    Should have brought a can of Raid though.

    As the time gets closer to what's expected, Tiny checks the message again from Emily, wondering who else might be coming.
    Then he sees the line advising to be in the Hisil side.
    Shit.
    Tossing the bag of food to a vagrant, he heads to his car, and while not speeding, moves with alacrity back to the pack's territory. Slipping across the gauntlet at the tur locus, he shifts to Urshul and runs like Skolis is breathing down his neck. As he gets closer to the meeting point, he snarls at the webs starting to cover everything. It'll take far more than one can of Raid to fix things.

    Chris had left just about everything of value back home. T-shirt and shoes were left near the pack's locus, but hidden, for the trip back home after. Only a slimmed down wallet and keys as part of his dedicated set of jeans. After crossing over Chris drops down to Urhan and begins a loping run towards the meeting point.

    At the first sight of webs the Irraka slows to a cautious stalk. Hosts are creepy, not scaring like spirits, no just super fricking creepy. Probably were the humans got their inspiration for some horror films. So Chris walks softly and listens for the others.

    Emily has several tattoos:
    - a sleeve of vines and flowers starting on her right shoulder and ending at her wrist
    - a collection of stars on her left wrist, tapering up her arm
    - flowers on her right foot around her ankle
    - A crescent moon on her left shoulderblade

    The Ithaeur is there in her silvery Urhan form, waiting. Stalking.

    Fucking spiders. Urgh.


    Emily didn't like spiders. She didn't mind killing them though, and fortunately, that was what they were here to do. She watched as Chris's dark form and an unknown wolf approached, but the smell was the same.

    If wolves could smile grimly, she would be.

    Where was Nathaniel Dormur ? He should be there too. Oh well. If her doesn't come, we're starting.

    Tiny walks closer to the other two wolves, slow, cautious, but not afraid. His brown fur looks far more intact than his human hair, not showing a single missing patch.
    Whats clearest are his brands of honor that snake up his neck into his Left ear.
    <<Fuck Spiders. I'm Tiny. Tear/Rip/Shred the webs and kill what comes, or sneak closer and hunt down Azlu in their nest?>>
    He grows his question in short, clipped barks.
    <<I like rip/tear/shred. Make them angry. Angry is stupid. If they don't show, then we go in.>>

    The hisil is eerily quite here, as if life itself was slowly getting sucked away, trapped in the spiders webs.

    A voice come from a bulging cocoon in a web, hanging high above the trio of wolves from the grey from of a utility pole, it is weak and fading. <help>

    Coming to a stopnext to his sister, and turning to face the newcomer, Chris offers both an opened mouth toothy grin of sorts. Wolves can't smile..its weird still.

    <<Like him>> The Talon takes in a slow breath. Eyes alight with something that he normally tries to hide. The humans don't understand the freedom of the hunt. Looking up for the source of the feint voice Chris grows before rising to stand on two feet in Near-Man.

    Eyeing up both the utility pole and the cocoon Chris lets out his breath. <<This better not be a trick>>

    2 successes (I missed two dice but that's on me)

    Emily looks at her two hunt-mates, and bobs her head in agreement. <<Rip-Tear-Shred. Safe with pack here>>

    She looks up at the voice, and another bob as Chris shifts and looks to go up the pole. <<May be trap. But have to risk. Must help if not. Earn Respect from Object Choir>> The wolf jerks her head at the pole. <<You go Rahu-brother. We watch for trap>>

    Tiny nods in appreciation of the compliment from Chris. He also looks for a good choice piece of thick web that would benefit from some sundering.
    <<Go free prey-of-spiders. I watch for Azlu.>>
    6 successes

    And Tiny fucking watches for Azlu.
