A Howl of Introduction 10/25

*Nods*
"Dany, this is our dear cousin Violetta. Since she will soon meet the Maid of the Mist, we would like for her, for all of us, to be purified."
*Miguel turns to Violetta*
"I'd never let a cousin jump alone."

"Thank you. It is good to be back with family that understands me." again the little wolf looks tired

The look Asya gives her is one of concern, "You look like things have been difficult for you, lately. You say you have a Get baby?"

Daniel looks perplexed. "Why are you using monkey-babble? I cannot understand you if you do not use our High Tongue."

"I havn't slept in weeks! I is care taker for my best friend's mates. He didn't tell me they was pregnant before he died. The hairless one cries all the time!" She sighs, "I don't think I wanna be a Get Daddy any more"

"Another one?  How extended IS your extended family?"

The voice resolves itself into the ever-snarky, ever-cynical form of Jenny Smoke, of the Guardian Pack.  She's about to say something more when a harsher, colder voice cuts her off--the voice of Onslaught of Winter, the Guardian Pack's Ahroun.

"Jenny.  Skip the wisecracks.  Do the job."

*Turns to the wendigo and bows gracefully, replying in Seneca*
'Very, Ms. Smoke-yuf.'

*He raises an eyebrow slightly at the voice of the ahroun.*

A low whistle emanates from the trees. Artemis Kokkinos is nestled comfortably on one of the branches, wearing layers to ward off the cold. She waves to the Guardians, and then to the gaggle of Silver Fangs.

"Welcome to Falling Waters!" she manages to get her mouth around the Garou language most expertly. "Beyond Good and Evil are Fox's children, right? You're in good company." She turns around on the branch to reveal the large embroidered Fox head on the back of her camo jacket. "Have fun with the jump. It's thrilling the first time down."

"I'm sorry for the loss of your friend," she says solemnly, "and I'd hate to suggest anything that would help you violate an oath to him. Is there anyone that can help you take care of the children? Perhaps his kin, or your own? That way you can take turns and rest."

Asya grins at Jenny, light-colored eyes sparkling, "They've got a factory for us, you know..."

She waits as the warders do their business, waving when the Gatekeeper shows up. "How's it going, Artemis-rhya?"

Daniel seema to understand a bit once people stop speaking in German, French, English and other manner of weird new-age babbles. Daniel sniffs at Violetta, and then shifts to his Crinos form so he can access his ritual implements. "May I cleanse your spirit before the jump, honored guest?"

"I tried to sell it but then it's mama got mad at me," she shrugs. "Thank you for kind words, Socks was an Ahroun and death come to quickly for them."

She looks into the tree, "Maybe if you are nice I will show you my inspection stamp from the factory." With a grin she laughs, "Fox is a good match for me as totem"

Once sniffed she turns to the Crinos wolf and smiles, "You may"

*Nods to Dany to begin the ritual, assisting as he is instructed*

"I'm mostly nice." Artemis says while watching the rite. "Redleaf told us the story of Socks Dragonsbane. Valiant, honorable death. We should all aspire to such. Thanks for taking care of the youngest generation." She settles back against the tree trunk and resumes her watchful pose encompassing a large swath of the park, folding her hands across her belly.

She sits and allows the ritual to be done and follows any instructions given

The ritual involves a small fire and breathing in the smoke.
(Ten minutes later, Wyrm taint is removed.  Yay!)

"All done." Daniel then leaps abruptly over the side of the Umbral falls and vanishes into the mist.

*Miguel stands and bowing*
"Normally I would say 'Ladies first', dear cousin... but this is a door one must open for one's self."

*Saying so, he turns to run, leaping into the chasm.*

With no sign of fear she leaps at a run

Jenny watches the arc.

"One of these days, someone should tell the tale of Takes The Fall. Purely sucked that nobody warned him NOT to do that in the real world."

Asya follows, leaping off with grace and laugh of pure joy.
