The cleanup continues, roads being drained of water and reopened to the public. While the humans continue their efforts to rebuild what was destroyed, so to do their supernatural kin.   Persephone Blackwood formally apologized to the Tzimisce Corneliu, inviting him back onto their properties and giving him free range of the different venues that her fiancé controls.   There were more efforts to rebuild in other parts of the city - particularly in the Everglades, corrupted by Seeker, the Tzimisce. The trees, animals, even the very earth was corrupted by her blood, and the Earth cried out for its protectors. They answered.   The Glades were cleansed thanks to a joint task group of mages, garou, Mokole, and Corax. One of the Corax, Sebastian, ate an Asakku Bear’s eyeball and had to be exorcised. He was given the deed name Eats-the-Wyrm, but is unaware that the exorcism only temporarily put the demon inside him to sleep rather than truly banishing it.   Meanwhile, at the warehouse where the Garou fought a Tzimisce pack, Silence and Percival, Thalia , and Kaniehtiio cleansed the space. Miami can breathe easier this night.   Claire's cousin Abby Harper, a mage, arrived in the city and Claire found out she was one of the few Harpers completely ignorant of the supernatural most of her life. Her uncle and aunt and both cousins have known about it for a long time. Now the two are catching up.   Thomas the Gangrel had an eventful evening, first meeting with a woman who looked exactly like his childe Jenny Lightly, but seemed terrified of him - claiming he had killed 'her' once before and that he would do it again to keep his secret. After realizing it was not, in fact, Jenny, Thomas left her in her terrified state. Alone.   Later, he met with the Tzimisce Kadenz. It was wary at first, but the two shared a need to lose themselves for a time. Their chosen vice? Flesh, of course. One for a far different reason than the other. While Kadenz watched her women with a fascination to shape, alter and perfect, Thomas watched his with a need to dominate, taste and satisfy. Still, the two enjoyed each other's companionship - if not carnally, at least in a shared understanding of the beauty of a woman's body.   There is activity in Coconut Grove. Tents and speakers and vans coming in. Rumors of a surprise concert. Anyone in the know is excitedly sharing the information, and already there is a large crowd gathered outside of the pop up stage. Who could it be? Who was this performer? Only time would tell.   The sun sets, rosy pink and orange-red over the deep blue sea.
