Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Lifa seems to have caught the attention of many, flipping a dime. Finally one dives off the wire and Lifa thinks for sure she can grab him. However before he's even in reach, he pulls up and avoids her reach. Not only does he not take the bait, but bird crap hits her shoulder and drips down her clothes. As the bird returns to his post the other birds increase in noise, cawing away, very amused by what just transpired.
Add one point of temporary rage, and make a rage roll for being directly insulted.My OWoDhouse rule reference page.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Lifa's skin bristles with a barely restrainged rage as she feels the small damp spot coagulate on her shoulder.
She looks up at the ravens and crows on the telephone wire, then back at the stain on her shirt, then back up at the birds.
The Theurge offers a curt smile then turns on the heel of her boot and seems to leave.
She crosses the road to the convenience store where she gathers some baking powder, a bottle of water and some childrens water balloons and an apple. Giving the store-owner a couple of dollars for them, she asks if she can use the bathroom to clean off the bird crap from the shoulder of her jacket.
Several minutes later she re-emerges carrying an apple in hand. She walks back up to where she was standing but a little closer this time as not to be on the road.
She takes a bite out of the apple, then hurls it up at the group of birds. It flies a little wide which may result in some more cawing from the birds and a false sense of security.
Lifa then reached into her jacket and pulled out another red object. She hurled this one up at the clustered birds and aimed it at the top of the telephone poll that they were all gathered around.
Upon impact, the red water balloon, easily mistakable as an apple, splatters in a wide splash that sends out a plume of a sticky mixture of water and baking powder that will cake half a dozen of the pesky birds, at least.
OOC:
SpoilerShe deliberately misses the first shot to give the birds a false sense of security. She also throws an apple at them so that when she pulls out the small red water balloon, they think that that's an apple too and she'll be as equally inaccurate.
Lifa is spending a turn aiming, which, considering that I'm using Dex + Athletics to hit, I'll assume I can do. (as the usual requirement is Firearms, but thats when it's using Dex + firearms for a gun)
I'll also spend a willpower point so that I'm guaranteed at least 1 success, which should hit and send a mixture of water and baking powder over a bunch of the birds.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
SpoilerThe way rage rolls work, you NEVER want to spend a willpower point.
Honestly only one success works very well for the calm Lifa appears to be at right now.
The apple had more of an effect than Lifa desired. Many birds, jumpy by nature, fly off even though the apple is no where near hitting them.
The water balloon from the gas station of convenience hits almost perfectly, and the gooey mix hits half of them, a third of the original birds, while the other half was either out of range or reacts fast enough to not get hit. Those that haven't been covered move down a little ways, and once more pick up their chatter. Apparently they thought that was funny.My OWoDhouse rule reference page.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Softpaws is content to not be in the spotlight for now, and does not interact with the birds. She seems eager to leave the park, now.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Scanning the collection of birds and believing she got the last laugh, Lifa pulled herself away from the assembly and moved back over to the group. If the ravens weren't going to open up then let the park have them.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
A Raven flies over the heads of the pack lands on the Sedan. It seems to be looking at the four of you, with it's head turned sideways. The others still seem to be cawing in amusement.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Pausing to look at the raven, Lifa eyed the little creature up and down.
"Have something to say?" Lifa asked, her tone a little gentler now that she didn't have to yell up against a cawing flock of pesks."Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
"Are we going?" Softpaws asks the pack. Not her pack -- just the pack. In her Homid form, she is again shoeless, with her nailless hands gently scratching her arms as they are folded across her chest.
She eyes the raven suspiciously, but does not engage it.Thanks Gigi Digi for the avatar.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Lifa opens the door to the sedan to allow the raven to get in. She does not reply to Softpaws, she'll let someone else do that.
Assuming the raven gets into the car, Lifa will get into the driver seat and start the engine."Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
The bird does indeed get in the car, but when Lifa gets in to start the car, before she can turn the key she is startled by the naked guy in the car with her.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Lifa considered the nude man for several seconds, focusing on his face. Understanding that she wasn't just representing a pack anymore but the local Garou as a whole, she rescinding her prior annoynace and spoke with a much more level tone than one would expect.
"Heart-of-the-Storm of the Get of Fenris," she introduced "Yourself?"
After he had responded, she pushed a question forward: "How long has your group been observing the park? What have you seen?""Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Jason looks around the park one more time as he sees the raven fly into Lifa's vehicle. Getting into Deep Fang's SUV, he rests his head against the back of the seat. He's hurting slightly from the pain of the webbing and combat, but thankful that he's alive.

"Do you... are you hurt?" Softpaws gingerly asks Hour Tales. She gets into the car with him, not really wanting to be alone with Lifa and Laughs.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
SpoilerIf I recall, the Sedan belongs to Jason. And the SUV deepfang, correct?
"Einarr Sun-chaser. Pleased to meet you."
The naked man appears to be in his mid thirties, has short dark balding hair and a small strip of hair on his chin. He speaks in a sly matter, almost as if this is a game to him.

Lifa perked a slender, black eyebrow. A trap? So they knew they were coming.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
The Theurge considers the Corax silently for several seconds. She was knew in town - she knew nothing that could be considered a 'secret'. She didn't even know any secrets about the Cearn she used to participate in!
"Wait here," she says and gets out of the sedan. She approaches the SUV with Luke and Softpaws in it and taps on the window. When they wind it down, she speaks.

"A bird in a car is easy to catch -- even for a werewolf," Softpaws says glumly. She avoids looking at anyone, intent on the dashboard.

Lifa held out one thumb to count a single secret, then she looked at Luke, the last person to speak.

Lifa, whose looking in through the window of Deep Fangs SUV at the time, speaks up to Luke. "Yes, there is. He might know something as to Deep Fangs whereabouts but will only barter info for it. Laughs has a secret to tell him, we just need one more. Do you have one?"

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
"I've got an amusing one, but it could ruin some of my reputation if it gets out," Jason says as he leans against the car. "I sometimes have to create original stories to tell before my clan when we meet, since I'm the only Glass Walker Galliard that regularly attends them. That said, I suffer from writer's block sometimes... Just last week, I told a tale of a Garou in a small town being pressed into service as a sideshow performer. That was actually Howling VI..." Jason chuckles slightly. "I mean, I put my own slight twists in on the stories I plagiarized, but the majority of it was from someone else. I've done that about four or five times."

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Listening to Jason, a genuine smile crept across Lifa's features. She appreciated a bit of humor to ease the tension that had sprung up after events of today.
"I'll see if he buys it." Lifa mused. She imagined that the Corax, as capricious and easily-amused as they were, might find the idea of an actual werewolf acting in a film about werewolves to be more up their alley.
"Coming along to say yours?" she speaks to Laughs as she heads back to the sedan and hops into the front seat.
"Alright, " Lifa stated to the wereraven, "We'll say one of ours first, then you say yours. If we like what we hear, we'll tell you the other." she said."Of all the words by tongue and pen, by far the saddest are "I could have been...""

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
"No dice. I hear both secrets first. Then I will let you choose which secret I tell you. You may not like what my secret contains, and I'm in no position to force you to tell me what you agreed upon. So you pay up front." He says, calmly as he leans back in the seat. At that point Lifa does get a brief but good glimpse of his genitals before he shifts his leg so she can no longer see them.

Re: IC Werewolf:TA-Chicago
Laughs smiles and presses his snout to the glass. He begins telling his secret, though he does so in the Garou language.
"So you see, I was curious about humans, and their urban jungles. My tribemates would only tell me the worst of it, diseased cesspools where humans mated in the streets, and feasted of animals by the thousands.
"Surely I thought there was something worthwhile in these cities. Even humans would have a reason for building these places. Still, I was venturing into the unknown, going to a wild, untamed land. So I stole it. A little fetish, you see? It's not with me now, but it can make me look like a man even if I am wolf or in war form! I bet the other Red Talons want it back, but they were not using it, no! Though I must admit I am far better looking as a wolf, don't you agree?" The mangy, wolf pressed his snout a bit more against the glass, a truly ugly site for the corax.
