What the Spirits Whisper January 2021

Sept of Hope’s Vigil, we see your deeds, we hear your words, now hear ours and understand how your actions help and hinder Gaia.

Quoth assigned Freya to take others to investigate the attacks by and on the homeless population of Miami. Whilst here Cub Joe contacted human informants investigating these attacks, which helped the group determine where the attacks were taking place regularly.

Freya, Joe, and Mikki went to downtime Miami and spoke with a few of the homeless there. A quick search revealed an alleyway where one of the homeless humans had been living, also a toy made by Avalon Incorporated. Whilst there You Sneaky Bastard got in touch with Freya informing her, as well as Mikki and Joe, about an attack that happened at the Port, that the perpetrator had even been arrested by the police. Once there You Sneaky Bastard convinced the police to leave the man behind so that they could deal with the problem.

They met up at Mikki’s apartment in Downtown in order to interview the homeless man, who’s name was Ethan, the tained human slowly began to become Fomori, as none could see the bane possessing him over time, they were not able to stop it. They found he’d been taking a new antidepressant called Brainlyft. Before he became formori he’d mentioned nightmares, likely caused by the fomori process. The Fomori babbled in wyrmspeak yelling, ranting, raving, and we know there is little point in translating the tongue of the wyrm for you all, you need not hear these obscenities, they don’t leave much to the imagination of anyone, especially You Sneaky Bastard.

After a brief scuffle You Sneaky Bastard tried to finish Ethan off, but was stopped by Joe. Even with the explanation that once you become fomori there is no rescue, Joe still didn’t seem to want him slain, even though that is the duty of all Garou. Destroy the Wyrm wherever it Dwells and Breeds. You Sneaky Bastard forced the issue, which led to a staredown from Freya and command by You Sneaky Bastard to force Joe to stand to the side. Joe then took the knife and killed that Fomori herself, and even after being told not to allow the tainted blood on her, she wiped the knife clean on her clothes and pocketed it. Risking Taint on oneself is not wise Joesephine Green, you endanger yourself and Gaia with these actions. In the future you should be more careful.

Ignoring renown is what the Black Spiral Dancers do, ignoring staredowns is how you anger those of higher station. It is dishonorable to do these things, we have watched, and keep watching, your failures and successes are whispered among all spirits. You will have a reputation, for good or ill, among all spirits in time. Honor yourself and those around you, Honor Gaia. When you dishonor Gaia, yourself, and your allies… You fall to the Wyrm’s manipulation.

We thank You Sneaky Bastard for disposing of the Fomori afterward. Black Bear has worries about the Cub Joe, worries that should be dealt with. (+1 Honor to Freya and You Sneaky Bastard for handling the situation as best you could. +1 Glory for Eliminating the Fomori in combat to those who can have it from Quoth, eliminating one threat for the Sept.)

Rips and Tears, of the Get of Fenris, Kuril of the Rokea, Demetrios of the Black Fury, Rides the Whirlwind of the Silver Fangs, and Walter Munchausen kin of Rokea were sent by Breaks the Spear to deal with the Taint Causing Wrapping Paper. They discovered several things, first Avelon Incorporated is behind the tainted paper, Avelon is a toy manufacturer among other such good related to the holiday scene, they even get much of their products from other Pentex Subsidiaries’ holdings out of China, one such group Good House International makes paper products used as the basis for such things.

The Group arrived at the Avalon Incorporated Distribution Center in Eastern Miami, after being told where the Dollar General the paper came from was in that part of the city, and Rides the Whirlwind did a quick search on the internet, the only acceptable use of the Weaver is finding the Wyrm to destroy it!, which led them to the Distribution Center. Once there they were beset by terrible smells wafting from the sewer, out of the storm drains, which Rips quickly opened up for them to investigate, they noticed stains of blood on the storm drain, found flesh and wrapping paper that was decaying, and even animal bodies, hundreds of dead rats, a few dogs, and a sewer maintenance worker to name a few. In spite of the groups investigations they didn’t manage to find a good entrance to the Avalon Incorporated Distribution Center however, they did find Fomori. They did not have luck on their side however when it came to maintaining stealth, Rides the Whirlwind stepped and broke some of the concrete and it fell in the sewer water which got the attention of the Fomori which charged them. The battle was swift, one sided even, in spite of the large size and danger of the biggest fomori the group it attacked, Demetrios, Rides the Whirlwind, and Rips and Tears never got harmed by the monster. And Walter, with his powerful pistol, kept one of its allies from ever even getting a chance to enter the fray. The Blood nearly sent Kuril into frenzy, we know you embrace your rage Rokea, but there in those cramped quarters would have been a terrible place. You slaked your rage with the meat of the other Fomori, we saw the taint grow within you from the location, your actions, and we wonder just what limits you have Kuril. You kept the veil though, even if it was in a repulsive manner that harmed your body and risked your soul, a necessity to be sure. (+1 Glory to those Who fought the Fomori, from Breaks the Spear. +1 Honor to Kuril for eliminating the evidence of the Fomori. +1 Wisdom to Rips and Rides for making the decision to return and inform the Fool, and be cleansed of the Taint.)
