Malcolm De Witt: Those showing up for the meeting will be escorted through the backstage door into Malcolm's office backstage, which is a converted dressing room.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She shows up ASAP, pulling the Bitchmobile to the parking garage, and heads on in, following the escorters to the office.

Silkie: Looking all around as she's escorted in. She's only been here once before, when she came looking for Karlos that time.

Malcolm De Witt: Malcolm and Okami are already inside. Malcolm is sipping at some Perrier, sitting on the couch beside Okami.

Angelia Caponelli: Ang shows up promptly. She's still got that hollow-eyed look to her but everything else about her seems to be together. She doesn't say much to anyone. Just sits and waits.

Okami Yuki: hh. be right back!! quikc Okami bathroom break..

Angelia Caponelli: (or sorry delete the sitting part) She nods a bit to Mal and Okami when she gets in and takes a seat.

Malcolm De Witt: But Okami runs into the bathroom.

Malcolm De Witt: "I was hoping Ingvar could be here, but...I've not been able to contact him."

Silkie: Makes the rounds, giving everyone a hug, because she's Silkie, then settles down beside Ang. "Are you okay?"

Silkie: "I talked to him the the day before the police got me. He sounded like... like he sounds sometimes when he's drinking a lot. He said he wished I'd stayed dead."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over to Silkie, "Not particularly. But my being okay isn't important right now." She says quietly before turning her attention back to Malcolm.

Malcolm De Witt: He hugs Silkie warmly, very glad to see her.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*L*)) She takes a lean against the wall, sympathetic eyes going to Angelia, before looking around. "I'm trying to find him, too. Gimme time."

Malcolm De Witt: "I stopped by Abbey's to ask for him but...he wasn't there. And Abbey wasn't taking visitors."

Silkie: Pat Ang's knee. "Of course its important."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I'll find him as soon as I can, Malc. So what's up?"

Malcolm De Witt: He looks to Ang, frowning, worried. "I think Silkie's right. Is...what Karlos did...still weighing on you?"

Angelia Caponelli: "Yeah she made some threats last time I saw her." She notes before she puts a hand on Silkie's and gives it a squeeze.

Angelia Caponelli: She raises a brow at Malcolm, "What he did? What bothers me more is his utter lack of remorse for what he did and his refusal to even admit he did anything. And I'm sorry Malcolm I just... I can't accept that. It's not okay with me."

Silkie: "What did Karlos do?" Taking Ang's hand and looking up at her.

Malcolm De Witt: "Angelia..." He sighs. "What he did was try to mirror the good in you back to you. He had no idea you still held onto that much bad."

Malcolm De Witt: "Of course he has no remorse for trying to show you how beautiful and loving you are. It is your own mind that attacked you. Not Karlos."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She frowns a little bit at this, but says nothing.

Angelia Caponelli: "That's not the point though Malcolm. The point is he used his abilities to punish and bully me cause I wasn't doing what he wanted. Because he think's I'm some broken little girl who needs to be kicked and she'll fall into line. And I'm not doing it any more. It's not the first time he's taken it upon himself to use his abilities to 'instruct' me or 'put me in my place' when it wasn't warrented and it wasn't asked for."

Silkie: Her eyes dart from Malcolm to Ang, and she pets the hand she's holding.

Malcolm De Witt: "He wasn't doing it to punish or bully you, Angelia. You're the one who did that to yourself."

Okami Yuki: ((Back))

Angelia Caponelli: "Malcolm..." She shakes her head and looks at the roof.

Okami Yuki: *she slips back in, sitting once more, smilling soflty and bowing her head to all*

Silkie: "I think Karlos loves you, Angelia. Maybe he made a mistake. You could forgive him?" she suggests hopefully. "And you could make a deal that he won't do stuff to you, like that, without asking first."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Guys..." She looks between Malcolm and Angelia. "There's some seriously bad feelings over this whole thing, but I think it needs to be resolved, if you let me say so, between Angelia and Karlos directly. Not by proxy through Malcolm. If I can make a suggestion, let's leave it for now, until Karlos is back with us, and we can have thast conversation. Everyone agree?"

Angelia Caponelli: "I would Silkie but again the whole problem I have is that he doesn't see anything wrong with what he did. And that's a big problem for me."

Silkie: "Where is Karlos?"

Okami Yuki: *and blinks, looking from Malcolm to ANgelia and Reyna, at lost of what they are talking about*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods over to Reyna and slumps back a bit sliding back into the emotional numb that is much preferable to the alternative.

Malcolm De Witt: "Karlos has been captured by the Garou kin smugglers and is being held by them," he says to Silkie.

Silkie: Nods to Ang. "I had that problem with the police. They said I can't swim naked, but I can. I thought they wanted me to be remorseful, so I pretended I was. Karlos is Karlos. You can't make him feel sad about loving you and trying to help you any more than the police can make me feel sad about swimming naked in Hudson."

Okami Yuki: *sighs softly seeing Angelia*

Silkie: "Karlos is kin?" *blinkity*

Angelia Caponelli: She just looks at Silkie, refusing to discuss the situation further.

Angelia Caponelli: "He's pretending to be kin to try and find out more about these smugglers. Malcolm have you been able to contact him at all?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans back, quietly, listening for now, as eyes pass back to Malcolm.

Silkie: "We need to win Firesnake back, so we can talk to him."

Malcolm De Witt: He nods. "I spoke to him via Rose late last night. He gave me the location and I informed him that Firesnake has cut communications with all of us, not just him."

Angelia Caponelli: "Well in the mean time Reyna, Malcolm, Karlos.." She pauses and shifts a little uncomfortably. "Trevor and I all have Rose."

Silkie: "Is he okay, Malcolm?"

Malcolm De Witt: "He was angry to find that out, but I'm not sure what about it made him angry."

Okami Yuki: *Blinks* Rose?

Malcolm De Witt: "About Firesnake, I mean. And Karlos is fine."

Malcolm De Witt: "Well, here's the thing...I think one of the reasons Firesnake is angry with is...because of what Okami has been mentioning. We need to claim renown for what we've done. But we haven't been, because to do so would endanger the One Who Watches."

Silkie: "Oh good. Soo, no one's told me about the kin smugglers. I've been busy trying to get Hudson cleansed still. Did you put my movie on t.v. Malcolm?"

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Okami, "She's a spirit of Love." Nods to Malcolm and frowns.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Silkie. Focus, please, on what we're talking about."

Silkie: Gets up and goes to sit beside Okami.

Malcolm De Witt: "I've bought the TV spots. And I thought Xu and I and some of the Garou took care of the Hudson?"

Okami Yuki: *nods to Angelia* thank you Shisuta *reaching to soflty touch Silkie as she sits beside her*

Silkie: Reyna> "I'm listening. I can focus on lots of things at the same time, you know." Sounding vaguely insulted, like Reyna just called her stupid or something.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Malcolm and Silkie, "They cleaned up the supernatural poisons didn't they?"

Silkie: "Did they kill the bane? I was gonna fly north and check. Did Ang rain a cleansing for her? She's very big you know. She needs a big cleansing."

Malcolm De Witt: "Well I took several cannisters of toxic waste out of the spring that was poisoning Hudson," he nods to Ang.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smiles to Silkie a little, nodding as if to say 'I know,' then looks back to the conversation.

Silkie: "It's not just her water that was sick, it's her heart too."

Angelia Caponelli: "I don't know about the bane I wasn't there."

Malcolm De Witt: "Well, you'll need to talk to Sea about that, I guess," Malcolm says to Silkie.

Okami Yuki: *Listening, tilting her head slightly*

Silkie: "We need to finish that properly. It's important. And we can claim renoun for it too."

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie, "I'll do the rain tonight... we could use some rain. I could use some cleansing."

Malcolm De Witt: "No, Silkie. We can't. Because Xu led the attack on the cave."

Silkie: "Thanks Angelia. So how does our claiming renown endanger One Who Watches?"

Okami Yuki: *and frowns slightly again, listening still, many things again she was not aware of*

Angelia Caponelli: She ahhs and nods, "But we can claim renown for doing the rite of the open sky and cleansing the waters."

Okami Yuki: WE Need to claim Renown for exterminating a Big entity of the Centipede in that Laboratory , and having claimed the Title

Malcolm De Witt: "Silkie..." Malcolm says laying it out very clearly. "The One Who Watches fled his punishment. He shamed himself and Firesnake, and Father Manhattan by losing the Diamond Throne after being declared the General Zi Teng. He was declared ronin by the Court back in April. Since that time, we, as upstanding members of the Court, are supposed to have turned him in any time we've seen him or known of his whereabouts. We have not."

Silkie: Stands up and tugs her shirt down. "Well a lot of this only happened because I pestered everyone with the strength and resources to do something, to actually do it. And even after ALL that, it was barely done right. Hudson hasn't even been cleansed yet. No wonder Firesnake is angry. We're all over everywhere and not properly finishing what we start. If OWW wants renown too, he can claim it himself. It's our job to take care of the Sentai and keep our places in the court. OWW makes his own decisions."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Silkie* Silkie chan things are not as easy sometimes

Silkie: She's a little incensed that they let Hudson suffer needlessly all this time.

Angelia Caponelli: "No Silkie... if we clam renown for anything that has to do with.. Him.. then we'll loose our place in the courts and he'll loose his life."

Malcolm De Witt: He looks to Reyna and Ang to see what they're going to say.

Silkie: Crosses her arms. "Well then maybe we should UNronin him."

Silkie: "Because he's almost always involved in everything we do ANYway."

Angelia Caponelli: "He has to decide that's what he wants Silkie."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs, rubbing at the bridge of her nose. "Silkie, hon. We've had a lot on our plate. And our claiming renown has nothing to do with the Hudson not being cleansed. We're trying to get everything taken care of, but we keep getting sidetracked by shit. All of our fault, yes. But we're trying, and we're here to try and fix things."

Okami Yuki: *Sighs, closing her eyes a moment* We have Failed this far because we have not really became One

Silkie: "Maybe he should be at this meeting too."

Malcolm De Witt: "And that sidetrack shit...almost always...has to do with the One Who Watches. It's a wonder Firesnake has been so patient with us this far."

Silkie: "I don't think we're a very good sentai."

Malcolm De Witt: "The only way to unronin him is to turn him in and let him face his punishment. Let him regain whatever face he can from that. Karlos said the only way we can help him now is to have the One Who Watches declared dead."

Angelia Caponelli: (brb)

Okami Yuki: Which I sugested the day I told you for the first time we should Reclaim our renown.... but is not so... we has another way we can help him...

Silkie: "Wouldn't they want a corpse?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Okami, eyebrow raised. "How?"

Malcolm De Witt: He looks to Okami, surprised by her saying that.

Okami Yuki: *Takes a deep breath, looking to Malcolm* There are two ways... and I once told them to him. The first one is called Harakiri... he'll regain his honor by death under his own hand. The second.... is handing him over

Angelia Caponelli: Ang looks increasinly uncomfortable with this talk about Trevor. She looks over at Okami and then away, staring at the wall.

Silkie: "What would happen to him if he was handed over?"

Malcolm De Witt: "It's hard to say. With Trong's influence gone, he will probably at least get a fair hearing."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at Okami for a long moment, then sighs and looks back. "So, the options are declare him dead, which actually isn't that difficult, as he's no longer the One Who Watches, though he is still Trevor...or turn him over."

Okami Yuki: He is Ronnin.... he is nothing, has nothing, owns nothing.... *looks off* They might consider a fitting punishment and if he undergoes it.. he might have the opeortunity to start from cero.... maybe

Malcolm De Witt: "We can't declare him dead. The court must. And if Trevor keeps being sighted all over the city..." He sighs and shakes his head. "The Court's not going to believe any bullshit we try to throw at this. We have to turn him over. Or get him to turn himself in."

Okami Yuki: Father Firesnake once said... he might .... be able to see him... if he pays for each and every of the deaths he brough to his people... In more then a way we own FAther to give Trevor san this oportunity... which regretfully consists in turning him over to the Courts

Malcolm De Witt: "Wait..." he tilts his head, looking at Reyna sidelong "What do you mean he's no longer the One Who Watches, tho he's still Trevor?"

Silkie: "What if we claim some renown first? We saved Trong's sentai, didn't we? Let's finish that. Get some renown, then if we return him to the courts one way or the other, maybe we'll have some influence. He's so involved with us, wouldn't it make sense for him to be part of the sentai?"

Okami Yuki: *blinking lookint to Malcom then to Reyna*

Malcolm De Witt: "Silkie, we didn't save Trong's sentai. They're still stuck in the Corrupt Bear totem's dream."

Okami Yuki: Another thing we have yet failed in fulfiling

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "He's no longer the One Who Watches, Malcolm." She sighs. "He...he's been by and large healed and restored. The spirits have accepted a new name for him. And Trong's sentai still isn't saved, Silkie, Bear's still holding them. And once again, that was something Trevor was involved in."

Angelia Caponelli: Ang just keeps staring off to the side as the Trevor talk continues.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Healed and restored spiritually, I mean."

Silkie: "We need to finish that then. Like Hudson, they're still suffering too." Scowls. Didn't anyone do anything while she was dead?

Malcolm De Witt: "What do you mean, healed and restored?" He looks, puzzled at Ang, then the others.

Silkie: Blinks at Reyna. "Really? If the spirits have given him a new name, then One Who Watches IS dead."

Malcolm De Witt: "How can he be dead? We just saw him last night."

Okami Yuki: *Frowns now listening*

Silkie: "If he got a new name, then you saw someone who looks like One Who Watches last night. What's his new name?"

Malcolm De Witt: He shrugs and looks to Reyna.

Angelia Caponelli: Some tention starts to gather around her jaw.

Okami Yuki: Wait... if he does got a new name from the Spirits, means they have forgiven him... which WILL actually restore some good to him in the eyes of the Court... It can actually be his oportunity

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Trevor was healed and restored via an effort by myself, Karlos, Angelia, and a couple others, and the Cup that cleansed Silkie and Father Peyote, to what he once was. In doing so, he earned a new neame."

Malcolm De Witt: "What do you mean, 'to what he once was?'"

Angelia Caponelli: "Reyna." She finally says softly. "This is for him to share if he wishes."

Silkie: "Father Peyote was corrupted?" She really liked him.

Malcolm De Witt: He looks curiously at Ang, then to Reyna, waiting to see what she says.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "No, Silkie, I meant to say that Father Peyote and the Cup that helped cleanse you helped. And what he once was isn't something that's relevant to this discussion right now." She looks to Angelia, nodding a little. She was never intending to go that far.

Silkie: Scowls at Ang. "No it's not! What he does affects us all. He doesn't have the priviledge of secrets from us."

Silkie: "We're not claiming renown because of him. I think makes his situation quite relevant."

Malcolm De Witt: He frowns, considering all this. "So...it never occured to any of you that...perhaps Firesnake might be offended that you chose to help the One Who Watches...while Trong and the others are still suffering?"

Angelia Caponelli: "Yes he does Silkie. He's not a mamber of this Sentai. He doesn't owe 'us' anything." She says in a carefully restrained tone though it starts to waver at the end, it becoming very obvious she's having a great deal of trouble keeping her emotions in check.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "And I've mentioned everything that's relevant, Silkie." She looks at the girl, calmly. Her eyes pass to Malcolm, and she shakes her head. "No, it honestly didn't. Which was my own mental retardation, perhaps."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Malcolm and nods faintly* We have been innactive... we have let our differences distant us... we keep things from each other...*sighs* we have become a circle clinging for one another without really wanting to hold *said softly* We are pretending to be a Sentai when in our hearts we have not let it happen

Malcolm De Witt: "I think he does owe us, Angelia. If you recall, we used the power of the sword to restore him to life."

Angelia Caponelli: "Or maybe we asked Ingvar several times about Trong to be told 'it's being delt with' and stupidly trusted out suposed brother not to lie to us." She gets up, pacing, pulling lightly at the sleeve of her sweater.

Silkie: Ang> "That's not true. Because if it is, then we owe him nothing, and therefore are guilty of harboring him. He's involved with us whether he's a member of the sentai or not."

Angelia Caponelli: "Silkie that doesn't give us free reign to go about telling you his secrets. Get him to tell you." She growls a bit before she rolls her shoulder. "I can't have this discussion. I'm just getting angery."

Okami Yuki: *she closes her eyes yet again, pulling on that calm, still listening contenace of when they first met her*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "People. Can we...please, stop sniping at each other? Please?" She looks around the room, tired. "I've told you everything that's relevant to the situation, Silkie, Malcolm. Okami's right, we all have our own secrets, and we need to get them out and resolved, I think."

Silkie: Moves to sit beside Malcolm. She's growing quite annoyed with Angelia. "We're your sentai. Trust us. Reyna was right to tell us what she did. No one's asking you to betray him."

Malcolm De Witt: "What are you angry about Angelia?"

Okami Yuki: 4,5,7,8,5,

Silkie: Sighs and settles her gaze on Okami, a warm smile coming to her lips.

Angelia Caponelli: "I'm a garou. We get angery." She sighs heavily. "Ang land is really not a happy place at the moment."

Malcolm De Witt: He pats Silkie's leg, glad to have her alive and happy to be reminded of that dance he gave to Sea.

Malcolm De Witt: "Tell us what's wrong," he says to Ang. "And we'll see what we can do to help."

Okami Yuki: *and sighs, softly, opening her eyes again, reaching to touch Silkie again, she stands, so she can see them all, she speaks softly but firmly* When I came to the states I had nearly just ran my Rite of Passage... all involved in ti died... months before when I first shifted I ran trhough the Change at the sight of seeing my whole Clan murdered. *halts a moment to look into the eyes of each of them* you are all that is left of my Family *peering into Angelia's eyes* I chose to Unite to you and probably displeace the only person of my Blood still alife. I stand true to my choice. We need to start doing the right thing... even if our hear aches with it

Malcolm De Witt: When Ingvar arrives he's allowed in via the backstage entrance and escorted to Malcolm's office, which is a converted dressing room

Angelia Caponelli: "I can't Malcolm. He already thinks I betrayed him. If I lose him..." She shakes her head and looks away biting into her lower lip.

Silkie: Snuggles against Malcolm, and sighs.

Malcolm De Witt: "If you lose him, you'll have us," he counters. "And if...you both have Roses...you can't lose him anyway."

Malcolm De Witt: He puts and arm across Silkie's shoulders, and nods to what Okami said. "We need to choose whether we are going to be true to Firesnake...or whether we are all going to go our own ways."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Grace muted by things waiting behind his eyes. He's quiet, perhaps a touch haggard around the edges.. but hidden to the casual eye with usual aplomb. A tailored navy suit, leather shoes. Manicure looks great.*

Malcolm De Witt: He reaches around and pulls the door open at the knock from security, and does a double take. "INgvar!"

Angelia Caponelli: As Inhvar walks in she doesn't say anything, just hugs herself lightly.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks to Angelia, her gaze going soft, offering the woman a supportive smile, before looking to Malcolm. "It's...entirely personal between them, and I absolutely promise, has nothing to do with the sentai. It's no more sentai business then any relationship difficulties you and Karlos may have that doesn't relate to the sentai itself, or that Trevor and I have, or any other friendship or romantic relationships of that sort. Which means it's Angelia's call if she wishes to share." She looks at the door, at Ingvar, and blinks, before smiling a little.

Okami Yuki: *she looks to Angelia, then Reyna then Silkie* I told you all once... A Sentai is a circle.. no buldges.... not cuts.... or we will fall appart. *blinking her eyes moving to the door, looking at the man in surprice*

Silkie: Takes a long look at Ingvar as he walks in. (per)

Silkie: 8,2,4,8,6,

Silkie: He didn't sound so good on the phone the other day.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Malcom. *A bit of regard leaks through his voice as he nods to the young man, gaze lingering across him briefly as he moves to sit where its available.* A long time my friend. *Pale eyes skate around the room, accompanied by another nod.* Fellows. *He blinks.. that was a little bland.* As I am late, do continue.. certainly we are seeking an answer to Firesnake's withdrawal? *He adjusts a cufflink, and settles into a chair.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Heya, Ingvar. We're getting there. Howya been?" She nods to him, then looks back to the group.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The rumble is muted so as not to interrupt, he answers Reyna quietly.* Fine, thank you.

Okami Yuki: *Sighs softly, still standing*

Angelia Caponelli: "Okami, the last time I tried to talk to some one in this sentai about my relationship problems with the exception of Reyna here, I got yelled at and told how broken I was. I love you sister but you're going to have to allow me some leeway here cause I really can't handle going through that again."

Malcolm De Witt: He nods to Ingvar, smiling to see him. "Firesnake withdrew because...Karlos told him he believed we did not belong together as a sentai. I think it made him angry."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He blinks, his eyes swiveling to Angelia at her words. A touch of confusion flickers across his face, before it stills again. He drapes a knee over the other leg and laces powerful fingers together.*

Silkie: "Maybe Firesnake withdrew because he agreed with Karlos."

Okami Yuki: I am not asking you to speak of it shisuta... *lookign to Angelia* if someone here knows the price of privacy in your soul is I... But you need to set it aside... to be able to stay with us... or you are tearing us appart from you, not with silence, but wiht actions...

Malcolm De Witt: "Angelia, when have you talked to me about such things? Or Silkie? Or Okami? You act as if only Reyna and Faris and Ingvar are the sentai."

Angelia Caponelli: SHe glances at Ingvar and then away looking emotionally worn.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Spirits... they grow frustrated themselves.. or so I understand. *He nods to Malcom, continuing* Firesnake has, after all, thus far been doing the work of holding us together- at least to the larger extent.

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Malcolm* I think it make Him realise we are not.... and he is giving us the opoertunity to prove him wrong

Angelia Caponelli: "No Malcolm I haven't tired to talk to you about this particular thing. I was going to talk to you about Karlos but me and him had it out any how. Silkie's been in jail and I don't know why I didn't talk to Okami."

Malcolm De Witt: He nods to Ingvar. "Yes. Half of us have been running around putting the One Who Watches back together, while others have been...incommunicado...and Two Hands with no direction cannot accomplish the task of a whole Body."

Okami Yuki: *smiles a little to Angelia* no one tlaks to me Shisuta, lately

Silkie: "I think we should decide if we're going to try to remain a sentai or disband. I want to try. What do you want, Angelia?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Well, yeah, I think that's part of the problem here, Malcolm. There's an obvious division within the sentai, and I myself have been guilty of viewing Fists, Eyes, and even Mind and Heart at a distance. I personally have closeness issues, and I acknowledge that even now, five months later, I'm trying to get through those issues in regards to everyone. Malcolm, Okami, Silkie, and Ingvar, I owe you all an apology for that."

Angelia Caponelli: She looks over at Silkie, "I want balance."

Malcolm De Witt: "I died for all of you. I fucking ~died~ for you. I lost Rage. I lost Gnosis. I lost Willpower. I lost a life over you all. And no one sees fit to tell me anything." He shakes his head in disgust. "And I'm sorry I fucked up with Ammon but maybe if it had been more than two Hands and Voice there we could have pulled together."

Okami Yuki: IT is a fault we have all fell into Shisuta...*halts and adds* as I told Malcolms san... I am Yuki... Okami is the Title of my Clan, *bowing her head* something I should have said when we gathered as One

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Malcom again, considering for a moment before his attention swivels to Angelia again.* You will need to prepare yourself, Angelia. *His voice is even, completely calm, though calculating.* I require the attendance of the sentai tomorrow- at the KR, at nine in the morning. I will be challenging you for the position of Mind among us. While we're both distracted by personal affairs- Malcom's summons and Firesnake's absence has at least drawn me out of myself. Do you agree?

Silkie: Ang> "I don't think that's enough." Blinks at Malcolm. "WHAT?!"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Interestingly enough, Ingvar reaches out to settle a hand briefly on Malcom's shoulder. It doesn't linger, but its more in the way of contact comfort than the grim creature usually shows.* We know. And it is not in vain, yet.

Angelia Caponelli: "Hey now Malcolm. I don't see you calling me and asking me to come spend time with you either."

Malcolm De Witt: "Silkie, you were there when we climbed the Mountain. How do you think you could have come back from being dead? Because I gave a life for you all."

Okami Yuki: *shakes her head to Malcolm, moving to place a hand on his arm* I still owe you more then I can really place in words Kyoudai

Angelia Caponelli: She just looks at Ingvar, "Where the fuck have you been for the last 4 months?"

Silkie: Looks at Malcolm a long time, almost in awe.

Okami Yuki: *sighs* When Urgahaldt san and I were lost in the Wyrm mysths.. I was aksed whhat will I give to be fred of it.. I gave my life... and Malcom gave his to bring me back... don't you remember?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: As the rest of us. Not difficult to find. But very absent. *He nods, canting an eyebrow.* Tomorrow. At nine. Yes, rhya? *The reminder becomes pointed.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She rubs at her forehead a little. "Angelia. Defensiveness away, Babe, please. Throwing accusations around isn't helping. You're diverting. Malcolm, you are right, and I'm sorry. Ingvar...hi." She's running out of brain capacity to try to reason with people.

Angelia Caponelli: "Nine. Yes."

Okami Yuki: *and sighs faintly, moving slightly pass Malcolm, peering for a window hiw his office... *

Angelia Caponelli: She sits down heavily. "I"m sorry Ingvar. You missed the whole part in the begining where I was telling everyone what an absolutely horrible week I've been having."

Silkie: Blinks at Okami.

Silkie: Smiles at Ingvar, glad he's challenging. They need their mind back.

Malcolm De Witt: (THere's no window it's a dressing room inside the Concerto) He squeezes Okami's hand, then releases her to let her walk away. "I think we should turn Trevor into the Court. As soon as possible. So we can claim our renown and quit shaming Firesnake by our actions."

Okami Yuki: *she actualy offers a small sadeneed smile to Malcolm, and moves slightly around still, not seeing a window... listening*

Silkie: "..and inactions," she adds to Malcolm's statment.

Silkie: "Is nine o'clock very early Angelia? You'll still cleanse Hudson before the challenge won't you?"

Malcolm De Witt: "Silkie, I really think you need to check. Because I think Hudson's already been cleansed."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans back further against the wall, rubbing at her eyes with the palms of her hands. CHRIST, she needs a cigarette.

Okami Yuki: *she sudnely turns, lookign to Silkie* and Silkie chan... you too need to weight your actions... please

Silkie: "I'll go drink from her after the meeting."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((sorry- back now))*He nods to the woman, perhaps a hint of respect beyond familiarity.. at least she acknowledges the lack gracefully.* Very well.

Angelia Caponelli: "Silkie, I'll go with you to check the water. If it needs it we'll clean it together. But 9 is fine."

Silkie: Okami> "I don't understand." Her actions are, as far as she can tell, what they should be.

Malcolm De Witt: "Hopefully the Garou will have freed Karlos by then."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Oh have I? *He cants an eyebrow slightly.* It seems to be going around.. something in the water.. I have heard it described as the city growing "more assholes than brains". Descriptive.. but rather stubborn when one looks for further elucidation on the matter...

Silkie: "I don't when nine is!" Sounding frustrated. "I'll sleep with you tonight, so I know when to go, okay?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His gaze swivels around toward Malcom.* What do you mean, "freed Karlos", Malcom?

Malcolm De Witt: (I'm confused as to who that last post was responding to, Ing?)

Silkie: ((Inserts "know"))

Okami Yuki: *smiles to Silkie, shaking her head, then looks to the others*

Angelia Caponelli: She nods to Silkie, "You can stay with me. I would like that."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((As am I.)) "Karlos is in the hands of kin smugglers, Ingvar. He went into this situation in order to stop the slaving ring. The Garou, led by...oh, shit, I dunno. Someone. Joshua, I think. Are trying to get the situation resolved."

Okami Yuki: You have already talked to the Garou?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Responding to Malcom's comment about the Garou apparently "having" Karlos?? *eyes Rav* I know you did it... I just don't know what you did..*L*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Malcolm did."

Malcolm De Witt: "Karlos was kidnapped by the Garou kin smugglers. I asked Joshua earlier today for him to formally ask the Sept Elders to send Garou to move against these corrupt Garou. To clean their own house and restore Karlos to us, unharmed."

Malcolm De Witt: (I meant the one about the assholes and brains. I can't figure out who Ing was talking to on that one)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((We don't know where the post that begins "Oh have I?" was responding to, Deep.))

Okami Yuki: *nods to Reyna*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((oh- whoops. That was in response to Angelia's comment about having a bad week. Lack of something to respond with led Ingvar to make a rough witticism to diffuse the fact that he doesn't know what to say. Was talking generally to Angelia.))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((He was talking generally about having a rough week. That's Ingvar being empathetic. Sorry guys, a little worn out.*G*))

Angelia Caponelli: (gotcha I gotta go to bed in about 25 min just so you all know) She looks over at Ingvar and nods a little bit bit, "Malcolm did the garou say if there was anything we could do to help there?"

Malcolm De Witt: "We can't act against the Garou without violating the treaty. We are...of the Court. And therefore...Neutral."

Malcolm De Witt: "If the Garou refuse to act in a timely manner...then we will have cause to free him ourselves."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cradles his chin on the points of his index fingers, eyes narrowed in thought.* The cretin. *He looks up, then proceeds to clarify.* Excuse me. Mr. Esposito. Unless Trevor has already aquired him I am certain Piotr still knows his whereabouts. I will see what I can find in that direction. He is known to these smugglers.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She doesn't much notice Okami's nod, still rubbing away at her eyes. "What Malcolm said. Thus, it's up to the Sept to resolve that situation."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Mantion of Micheal doesn't do much to brighten her mood...rather, it darkens it quite a bit.

Angelia Caponelli: She nods. "But we can... help them. You can give them updates on where he is and what's going on around Kalros? Or is that too open?"

Okami Yuki: *and she finally halts once more, regarind them, listeniing again*

Silkie: "Who's Michael?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "A sick little kin-raping and torturing bitch who the Sept had better fucking take care of," she mutters.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants an eyebrow, looking at Angelia* As yet I am only reasonably certain I can provide the man's location. Beyond that I would not go so far as to assume on the extent of his knowledge. He is... difficult... to predict, without Sadie to provide a baseline for his motivations.

Okami Yuki: *and regards Reyna again, frowning*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants an eyebrow, looking at Angelia* As yet I am only reasonably certain I can provide the man's location. Beyond that I would not go so far as to assume on the extent of his knowledge. He is... difficult... to predict, without Sadie to provide a baseline for his motivations.

Silkie: ((Amend that to Who's Esposito))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes flick between Malcom and Angelia- then it occurs to him what they mean.* Ah- excuse.

Angelia Caponelli: She grimices and nods to Reyna. "Malcolm's able to contact Karlos still through Rose." she notes to Ingvar.

Silkie: "Is he one of the kidnappers?"

Malcolm De Witt: "Offering intelligence as to the whereabouts of violators does not go beyond our Mandate," he answers to Ang. "So I can apprise them of the location of the Laundry."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yes and no. Yes, he's kidnapped someone, but no, not as part of the slavers."

Okami Yuki: *frowns, still listening now, looking at them*

Silkie: "Who did he kidnap?" Frowns looking confused.

Malcolm De Witt: "I believe...but I'm not sure...that Karlos...mind controlled...Micah to snatch him and turn him over to Alexi."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "It's not our problem, Silkie." She removes her palms from her eyes, folding her arms over her chest as she looks to the floor. "It's Sept business."

Silkie: Her eyes flicker from speaker to speaker as she tries to piece it all together.

Okami Yuki: Alexi?.... *that name sounding familiar*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He holds up a finger and opens his mouth- almost about to speak to Reyna.. then closes it again, thinking. Perhaps Abbey could...*

Angelia Caponelli: "We do have problems we need to deal with though. Ammon. I'm still stuck with all signs pointing to Paris. And there's Sadie's kids."

Silkie: "Wasn't that the bad wolf from the lab? The one Ingvar pulled out his tongue?"

Malcolm De Witt: "Alexi Rothechilde. The Shadowlord who we freed in the Lab raid. Apparently...Trevor made him one of his...bitches."

Okami Yuki: *frowns, looking to Malcomk in disbelive* pardong what?!

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Oh? *He perks a bit at Malcom's words.* That's convienient.. *He seems rather satisfied at this.. though considered from the sentai's point of view or his own remains unspoken.*

Angelia Caponelli: She pulls her hand up to rub her temple.

Silkie: "Sadie's children? Your Sadie?" Looking at Ingvar.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "That Alexi. Oh, beautiful." She sighs. "There's a name I was hoping wouldn't be hopping back into my ears anytime soon."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks bemused at Silkie for a moment. Experience having told him that a response would be a bad idea, he simply shakes his head and returns to his thoughts.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks up to Reyna* He has returned?

Malcolm De Witt: "Well, Trevor had Alexi put in an order to the kin smugglers for Sadie's kids and Micah...and the kids were at Alexi's aparment, but then...when Alexi and Micah were taking Karlos to the smugglers...someone broke in and stole Sadie's kids. Someone who Karlos and Trevor think is associated with that Princess who's in town looking for Trevor."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Sadie's kids..." She shrugs, looking a little lost. "They're in the hands of the Silver Fang Royalty in town. Again, something that we can only be involved in peripherally, at best. Ammon...ah, hell if I know. If he's in Paris, it's not going to be easy to go after him. If he's here...we need to find him. And I'm aware that I'm stating the obvious. I just like to hear my own voice from time to time."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Possibly in the hands of the Silver Fang royalty, sorry."

Silkie: Scowls when Ingvar ignores her, and digs in her pocket, pulling out a sticky bit of candy and throwing it at him.

Okami Yuki: ah...*frowns, this seems just complicated,nods* what you told us at the boat

Angelia Caponelli: She gets up slowly to take up a slow pace. (I have to get to bed now. Some one log the rest for me please?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Already loggin', Ang.))

Silkie: "Paris is far away?" she asks hopefully.

Okami Yuki: ((I'll have to log off soon too))

Okami Yuki: Across the Sea Silkie chan

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Paris is across the ocean, several thousand miles away, Silk."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Who would have Ammon's contact information? *Pale eyes flick from the candy stuck to his sleeve to the creature that threw it.. though the question is left for the room.* It is my understanding he delt in things that may provide cause for me to reach him in comparative innocence. *The candy is flicked away, and the diamond gaze returns to Reyna... quite interested.*

Malcolm De Witt: "Paris is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, pretty far inland, Silkie."

Silkie: "Oh good."

Angelia Caponelli: "Rauko might know something. If some one could contact her."

Okami Yuki: I know hardly nothing of this kinjin except his crime and his scent

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods to Angelia. He remembers where the girl lives.*

Silkie: Gives Ingvar an innocent look.

Angelia Caponelli: (now bed. Nini all)

Okami Yuki: Rauko?

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((goodnight.))

Okami Yuki: ((nightSG!!))

Malcolm De Witt: "TRevor would know. He knows...about the vampires in the city." He sighs and looks to Ang. "Rauko still babysits for me. And Jan. I'll ask her to contact you."

Silkie: "I know how to find Rauko."

Silkie: ((Nighty night SG))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A tired look goes to Silkie, though she doesn't evey try a smile. She looks to Ingvar. "If you're talking his vice shit, Ingvar, I've been trying. I am a bit of a dealer with street cred myself, after all. He's being very incommunicado. Still workin' the angle, though."

Malcolm De Witt: To Okami>> "Michelle. The quiet girl with the strange eyes who lives in the building?"

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Mild distaste as he looks to Reyna.* You deal drugs?

Okami Yuki: *Looks to Malcolm, considering* I do not believe I have ever... maybe once *nods faintly* thanks

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Shut up, Ingvar." She honestly doesn't have the patience for that.

Silkie: "I used to sleep with her sometimes, but not since I cleansed her." Frowns.

Malcolm De Witt: He nods to OKami and listens to Ing and Reyna, frowning at how tired Reyna is.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He actually looks a bit suprised, as he continues to regard the woman. But she drives a volkswagen...*

Okami Yuki: *she goes back to watching them all, in silence... at least they are talking... sighs closing her eyes once more*

Silkie: ((*LOL* Anyone who drives a Volkswagen...))

Malcolm De Witt: "Ingvar..." he says, his voice a bit tentative.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Nods a bit* Let me know what you find, then. *He does leave Reyna alone after that, to his credit. Offended? No. Still only a bit frayed himself under the fine cologne.*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His attention swivels again to Malcom.* Yes? *Interest there as he encourages the young man.*

Silkie: Gets up and goes to sit beside Okami.

Malcolm De Witt: "I don't know why you...split from us...or why you think that...you have to hide from us. If you don't want to be our Mind, that's fine. But don't challenge if you're not going to...fulfill the obligations if you win. Because if you...disappear on us again. I will have to challenge you."

Okami Yuki: *opesn her eyes and smiles soflty to Silkie, then her eyes shift to look to Malcolm, smiling a tiny bit more*

Silkie: Grins at Malcolm.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She leans in her spot, quietly, staring at the floor.

Okami Yuki: *glances to Reyna, touche ssilkie's arm fainty and moves to her, sitting by Reyna's side, just doing so*

Silkie: Watches Yuki go to sit with Reyna, then looks over at Ing and Malc, her eyes flickering between the two of them.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Silent, and still. The young magyar watches Malcom intently... unblinking, only the crystalline gaze slipping across the man's face. Eventually, he leans over and claps Malcom on the shoulder- a gesture both of ritual and affection that rings through the room like a pistol shot. At a loss for words- but apparently, more than a little pleased at Malcom's assertiveness.* Excellent.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sighs, then, looks around. "All right, so the slaver thing is being handled by the Sept. That pretty well includes Sadie's kids, and Micheal. Malcolm is going to apprise the Sept of Karlos's location. Ammon is a priority, let's find him. Ingvar's challenging for Mind tomorrow morning at nine. And we need to claim renown, which means that we need to turn Trevor in. Did I miss anything?"

Okami Yuki: I think not Shisuta *softly said*

Ingvar Urgahaldt: However, Malcom. I did not disappear. My position was seized by Angelia. Do not forget that. I was ill equipped and ill informed regarding what I was doing- I did not, in either case, abandon it. *He nods.*

Silkie: "You abandoned us Ingvar."

Okami Yuki: *Looks to the man* You cut us off from your live Urgahaldt san

Malcolm De Witt: "I am tired of...this three way war between you...and Angelia...and Karlos. I love all of you and I don't want...us to be at each others throats...or paralyzed with indecision." He shakes his head and from his scowl his feelings on that are clear. He nods to the tail end of Reyna's words. "I know I fucked up with Ammon but I will...learn from that and I will be...better."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Not your fault, Malcolm, any more then it was mine, Yuki's, Angelia's, Karlos's, Silkie's, or Ingvar's." She looks solemnly around the room. "Anything else?"

Okami Yuki: *smiles sadly, spaking softly* I felt at fautl during that incident REiruno san

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He regards silkie flatly. Before remembering the gesture is likely lost on her. Instead he leaves her to her world and concentrates on Reyna.* Only that it would be best if we begin practicing a bit of teamwork. We should as a body concentrate on one thing at a time. Complete it, and move on. Piling further frustration when we are nearly at the breaking point in the first place is ill advised.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: Such things are solved through learning each other, Malcom. Not decisions. I will do my best with what is given me. As I have always done. *He nods, listening to Reyna.*

Silkie: Looks back at him, observing how he again disregards her.

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *almost as an afterthought- as though remembering more was expected in response to the words, Ingvar looks at Malcom again.* I will keep it in mind. Yes?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We all fucked it up, hon." She looks from Okami to Ingvar. "Well, as soon as the bad guys start taking numbers, I'll be happy to install the Take-A-Ticket machine at the K-R's door, Ingvar. You're right, though, we need teamwork. Let's work on that."

Okami Yuki: *nods, peering to Silkie then to ingvar* and you need to work out your anger with Silke chan Urgahaldt san....

Malcolm De Witt: HE nod to Ingvar, and then to Reyna. "Yes. We can adjourn, if you like. You look like you could use some sleep."

Silkie: Checks her pockets for something else to throw. She really needs to start carrying rocks. Finds another piece of candy. No, that one's chocolate. She pops it into her mouth.

Okami Yuki: *Peering to Reyna, nods but there is something that is still bugging her, she sighs and says* I need to retire ((I am falling asleep!))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: I am not angry, Okami- san. Silkie will become worthwhile, or she will remain not. Emotion does not assist or hinder such things. I, for a time was not worthwhile to the sentai. I then removed myself from it. Now, I am back- because I am again an asset. It is a matter of honor and principle. Not feelings. *He snorts, apparently still not agitated.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Yeah, sleep. That's it. She nods to Malcolm a little. "Yes, let's adjourn, please."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods as well.* Please. *checks his watch.*

Silkie: "Who decided you were worthwhile, Ingvar? Do you think Sea returned me as punishment?"

Malcolm De Witt: He nods, and stands. "THank you all for coming. I'll see you at nine am tomorrow." (and I'm assumming we're going to try and sched that for the weekend?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: As soon as Malcolm's done speaking, she turns, opening the door and heading for the back entrance.

Okami Yuki: *Looks to ingvar, stands and moves to him, placing a hand faintly on his arm, the touch is light and lasts seconds* a Sentai is let in your heart... of you'll never fully close the circle... Sentai is Family. *she then though looks to Malcolm* I need to make my leave Kyoudai

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He glances at the girl again.* Another time, Silkie. Enjoy your evening.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((*Would like to point out that Sunday is the Mage scene*))

Okami Yuki: ((yuz... guess.. you just let me knows when I really most fade...))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((That would be good. I don't know if I'm allowed yet to work saturdays or not- sunday may be the best bet.))

Silkie: "You who so willingly abandoned us. At least it took my murder to absent me. I didn't crawl off to snivel about being unable to deal with my emotions and look for some place to hide from them."

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((actually let me see about saturday tomorrow- does that work for everybody?))

Malcolm De Witt: (Then if we need to put this challenge off for too long, let's have Ingvar set the day and time farther off, so we're not hung in backdating?)

Okami Yuki: ((I NEED to go .. falling askeep!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Go, Okami. We'll let you know.))

Malcolm De Witt: (you guys who have to go, go, we'll working scheduling in the forums)

Silkie: ((Can do either Sat or Sun))

Malcolm De Witt: (Work out scheduling. doh.)

Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He chuckles at the girl as he departs.* How quaint. You learned pop psychology and assumption. *He rolls his eyes, exhausted.* I have no time for this creature. *An offhand gesture to Silkie.* Good evening.

Okami Yuki: ((tell me when I'll be here.. though Sats I'll log later, like 10-11 central.. I really need to fade now))

Okami Yuki: ((night=) ))

Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((sounds good. I'll see what they say tomorrow and post.))

Malcolm De Witt: Malcolm nods to Ingvar as he leaves, frowning at the way he treats Silkie. He glances over to her. "Would you like me to order some chocolate mousse and cocoa for us?"

Silkie: Rocks. She's definitely gonna start carrying rocks.

Silkie: Nods at Malcolm.

Malcolm De Witt: And he orders said chocolate delicacies and they share a nice little time together and then Malc sees Silkie home to Ang's place (And let's fade there?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((See you, guys. Thanks for the RP))

Silkie: ((Actually, Silkie's going to swim Hudson after their snacks, to determine if she's clean. So I need to know if she is indeed clean?))

Silkie: ((Night guys))

Malcolm De Witt: (I have no idea you have to ask Fox about that, it's her SL. From the renown Troy claimed, I'm guessing it is.)

Silkie: ((Ah. Ok))

Malcolm De Witt: ( I know MAlc, Xu, Laidan, Kristjan, and Tasanee attacked the spiral cave and killed the spiral pack there and took the toxins out of the water)

Silkie: ((I left her an icq message on the bane and cleansing.))

Malcolm De Witt: (Anyway, I need to get away from the comp for a while, fever kicking in)

Silkie: ((good night))
