Matthew arrives at Fremont Park, hoping that all the human occupants have cleared out by now. So much has changed these past few months. I never thought I'd be the one to call the next meeting, and certainly not that we shared the city with so many diverse beings.

Julia is already there, sleeping under a picnic table. Tony is there as well, and you see that all of the humans have been cleared out. There is also the smell of smoke, and you see that he has a large trunk with him.
"Matthew, honored Alpha of the Shadow Seekers, the Justicars send offerings of peace. We also brought the grub." He poitns to the the trunk.

Matthew is quite surprised by Tony's greeting, so different from any of their previous interactions. "I thank you, Tony, and the Justicars. Let us not dwell on the past. The present carries enough trouble."

"We know, We just disccovered that we executed over three dozen spirits by accident." He says this with great pain. In fact, Tony just doesnt look his normal self. He seems...off balance.
Gwen arrives only a few minutes later, finally having put in a few hours of restless sleep. Now to find out what this is about.
She gives Matthew a thin smile. "Matthew, it's nice to see you again." She gives Julia a nod, and Tony a little two-finger salute. She was really never one for protocol, alpha protocol even less so.

Mateo arrives sauntering up casually, he greets the others with a nod of his head, smiling at Gwen. He carries a large brown paper bag, as he sits it down you hear the clinking of large bottles.
"The Sworn come to this meeting in peace, well met all of you. I also brought some liqour for after the meeting." He says with a smile.

Matthew, still a bit shaken by Tony's admission, returns Gwen's smile in kind. Then he turns to Mateo, the smile, such as it is, disappearing completely. "Good. By the time the meeting is over, I think we'll all want a drink."
If Tony wants the other packs to know what happened, he'll have to tell them. Once River's Thunder arrive, we can begin.
Grip-of-Steel arrived by foot. He walked to Matthew, nodded to others with a smile and waited what would follow. Meeting of the Alphas, so he could probably stay quiet.

"So Matthew, you called this one, what is up?" Tony says, as he opens the trunk and throws a roasted whole goat onto the table.

That Tony did not start with a rite this time frightens Matthew. That accident must have had a terrible effect on him. He attempts to hide his reaction by busying himself with ripping off a large chunk of leg and taking a few bites.
Finally, he speaks. "I have two items to discuss, but they're both big enough issues that I'm only putting one on the table at a time. My pack's totem" He subconsciously glances toward Tony. "told me the reason why the Shadow is so empty. The Anshega used the city as the testing grounds for a new rite, powerful enough to render the Shadow unsafe for spirits." He falls silent, watching everyone's reaction.
