"So the rest of us figured out how to do something useful."

"Yeah? Without telling the elders?"

"Yup!"

"HA! " Fistbump offered

Fists are bumped.

"Missed you, Amiga. I know, it was only a day right? "

"Yeah."

SHe says "Look, about halloween... the veil gets thin and I might be expected to do Garou stuff. Which sucks. I want to hang with you and May, get our costumes together, party somewhere... but ah... yeah" Guilty look

"Well..." She frowns. "Halloween is hard and weird for us."

"YEah?"

She nods. "Magic."

"It's a magical night"

"Maybe we can party the weekend before?"

"Hey, maybe!"

"I'll be more myself after Halloween, though."

"Hey, me too... I mean, Iwon't act weird per se.. but ..thinner veils means more spirits meaning I'm gonna be distracted and spacy"

"Yeah? Man, I wish you could see the Dreaming proper..."

"Wish you could see the umbra... " A sigh

"Maybe... I mean, if they're both spirit realms?"

When Stormwake was returned to the paddock, Much Fussing was made over him. A challenging snort at Dagmar as if SHE was responsible for this condition, as she returned the stallion - but quickly nods her head in chagrin as Stormwake corrects her. She stamps and fusses around the stallion, lipping at the remains of his charred mane, before none-too-gently shoving/herding him over to his customary favorite spot to snooze, and takes up position next to him, her side every so slightly leaning against his flank. Welcome back, brave champion.

"Maybe, but it's the kind of thing you don't want mucking around with"

"Well, it could be an adventure."

"We ought to do something... DIrk actually asked me out to go mailbox busting, which is stupid, lame, and kind of a jerk thing to do.. and I was actually tempted"

"Okay, so we find some evil and smite it."

"We could smite Dirk?" She says "Y' know, just a little"

"Nah, he'd probably like it, and that creeps me out."

"Ugh you're right"

"Exactly. So - another evil."

"Well, wyrm related things are evil. We can see what we can both smash"

"Exactly."

"Hate leaving May out of things, but do not want her in danger"

"Agreed."

"Mmm okay. You want to shoot hoops? It's..normal. You know?"

"Well - Stormwake is exhausted, and Star is fussing. So. Yeah?"

"We should text May."

"Definitely!" She agrees, and she admires "Your dad always keeps the snow and ice and leaves and shit off the area where you play ball. He's cool."

"Yeah, he is."

And texting... leads May onto her way!

"My dad would tell me I got a back and can grab a rake or shovel" She smirks

"Well.. I mean, I mow?"

"And do other stuff."

"I know.. and I've even seen you load stuff in the store he works at "

May shows up "Hey hey..." She moves forward "Basket ball in October out doors? You guys are trying to freeze my knee caps"

But she's happy to be here

"YUP!"

"Think fast!" And it's on!

May moves smooth and easy, she's been keeping her practice up... and covers more fearlessly

"Hey, May, I thought you'd be behind on your game..." Lupita beams, then steals the ball from her and tries to weave past Dagmar.

And they have... fun?

yep. Fun
