A quiet, calm morning dawns with only the barest of whispers of wind, cold and unrelenting. Lucien met the interesting yet charming twins Phino and Ryou as they delivered a gift from their unannounced employer. The gift, a resin covered person designed to look like a doll, repulsed the Toreador who only received the enigmatic message “from one Rose to another.”   Meanwhile, the Fenrir Ahroun, Vidar Stronghammer, found himself in a fight club where he quickly dominated his opponent. He then joined up with Percival Kent  although found the Satanist unnerving and left to rejoin Ian Stronghammer  and the group trying to resolve the Omen. Black-Spiral-Shredder and Winter’s Bite summoned the Caern totem, Hummingbird for answers and advice about the marks. Hummingbird informed them they were all chosen for a social weakness that left them vulnerable. The brightly colored spirit seemed to take a liking to Shredder, telling the Theurge she was wise and would make a strong Alpha. Burns-with-Rage officially announced his challenge of pack membership to Loves-all-Things although Ian and Brinn quickly pushed the challenge to the side as there were more important things to handle. The new Galliard, Lou/Sings-through-Sorrow has been making new friends.   First they listened to a tale sung by fellow Galliard Speaks-with-Stars, then they met the Philodox, Claire Harper, and then later bonded with Loves. Lucien told Corinthia Banner about the tragic tale of his twin sister, Juliette, and the fall of his family centuries ago. Claire Harper was attacked on the street after leaving her job at the forge. Heading to the Beacon, a pair of motorcyclists tackled the Glasswalker, attempting to inject her with some sort of substance presumably to kidnap her. She managed to fight them off long enough to escape and side step. While not entirely sure who it was, due to their preternatural speed and already being told by Sabbat Kindred that she would be their play thing, Claire currently believes it’s the Sabbat.   Ethan Ambrose and Wolfgang spoke at some length about him being mentored by the Malkavian, and Ethan agreed. Wolfgang told him that, at some point, he must choose whether he follows the path of the Warrior or Healer Salubri.   Aea went out to find a chimera who could give her some insight into the Neveah case, but instead came upon a tiny feral chimera who she summarily adopted as her own.
