Wahya Must Die: Part III

[Brother of the Lost] Boy knew his territory. He knew how to balance the quiet empty neighborhoods with the troubling, everyday violence that meant the few people that lived there would want to stay living there, and would sooner cover their heads under their blankets than call the authorities at any sign of disturbance.

Strange sounds, like howling, for instance.

The foreclosure sign gets torn off the front door, and the lock on the door itself shatters with the force placed behind Glabro Boy's shoulder. After a quick sweep to confirm that the house was indeed empty and abandoned, he helped Bai carry Wahya inside.

[Bai Chou] Bai grunted before they found somewhere good enough to set the lupus down, glancing over the wounds again. He rubbed at his chin, knowing even if they cleansed him....healing him would be a bitch as well. But one step at a time.

"You still have enough water?"

He looked over to Boy once he's secured the door closed.

[Wahya] The unconscious lupus grunts and groans has they handle him. His sides move in a slow labored breathing.

[Brother of the Lost] "I think so." Says the hulking teen. "You ready to try again?"

[Bai Chou] Bai nodded some.

"....round 2..."

He rolled his neck, sliding his coat off and setting it aside...his fingers moving to draw another series of chalk designs around the fallen form of Wahya, slowly beginning to chant once more...

[Bai Chou] Charisma 2 + Ritual 2
Dice Rolled:[ 4 d10 ] 5, 6, 8, 10 (Success x 3 at target 7) [WP]

[Brother of the Lost] And with his flask of pure water at the ready, the two began again.

Charisma+Rituals+Ancestors roll
Dice Rolled:[ 5 d10 ] 1, 3, 7, 8, 10 (Success x 3 at target 7) [WP]

[Bai Chou] Bai watched as the ritual finished, sniffing slightly for a moment.

"...I'm not sensing anything...at least, no more then what is to be expected...I think its done..."

He paused a moment.

"...we need someone who can heal him."

[Brother of the Lost] Boy lowers himself onto the ground, careful not to sit against the wounded leg.

"There's no one else to call." He says. His voice sounds tired. This ordeal has taken him nearly to his end.

"We have to end this. I didn't want him to die with the Wyrm's taint. I don't want him to die by another tribe's hand."

[Bai Chou] Bai blinked and then looked at him...staring blankly.

"...why in the fuck would we kill him?"

He was moving halfway into pulling another cigarette out, the chainsmoker pausing in mid movement as he stared at Boy as if he had grown another head.

[Wahya] The wolf's breathing quickens, he coughs and hacks, that eerie green mist rising from his nose and mouth and pouring from open wounds as they had performed the rite of cleansing, the taint expelled out of him. He starts to look less sickly, still wounded from when they took him down... but for now, Wahya seems to have lost the taint.

[Wahya] (Hey, just to let you guys know. If Boy justifiably has a reason to kill Wahya. I am not going to cry over it. It is just a character.)
to Bai Chou, Brother of the Lost

[Brother of the Lost] "He's eaten man-flesh." says Boy. His shoulders square and his back straightens, but only slightly. And even then the strain of it is too much, and he sits hunched and tired again.

"And he's probably breached the veil with his crazy ass stroll through the city in his wolf form. We cleansed the taint, yeah, but we cant erase his sins. And when the others hear about it they'll ask for his blood. He'll be hunted and his punishment will be worse than death."

Boy sighs, tugging at tufts of his own hair.

"It doesn't matter that he fell to the wyrm taint because he was doing what Uktena do. The rest of them won't see it that way. I'd prefer he die quickly, with his honor intact, than to have someone from some other tribe claim glory for hunting him down like a dog.

Worst of all. The one he killed and ate his own ward. His own ward."

[Bai Chou] Bai just shook his head as he slid out a cigarette.

"...my first question is this....who left kin with him in the first place?"

Bai struck the match, looking at him as he spoke.

"Because...if you knew he was tainted...you had left him holed up and kept down, right? The loss of a kinfolk...his ward is tragic...but they were fucking retarded to have gone in there on their own regardless. If you warned them, regardless of the consequences, they went in there of their own peril."

He inhaled for a moment, finger idly coming to scratch the side of his nose as he talked.

"Frankly...I don't give a fuck what the other tribes think in regard to this matter...he's purged of the taint. He ate flesh yes, but under the effect of taint. As far as the veil breach, he was in lupus when we found him...there's no confirmation of a breach of the veil yet...I can ask the spirits to confirm later on that. So....it comes down to a number of things..was his ward of our tribe? Was his only crime that? If so...there are other punishments he can undergo rather then death. If Gaia had given up on him, the rite wouldn't have succeeded."

[Brother of the Lost] "No one left Kin with him." Boy rasped, lip curling slightly at Bai. "Her instructions were to find Soledad. I came to find you. I thought we could restrain him, cleanse him, and keep this between Uktena."

Drained as he was, he struggled to stand and plant his legs under him, one of which was still torn and bloodied.

"Right. No breach. Cuz wolves walk down 35th street every fucking day. And don't forget which moon your were born under, God Slayer. Balance without fault won't give a fly fuck what you think of the laws Many Tongue's broken. He'll pay for them severely. And when he dies by their hand, he'll do so with no honor or wisdom to his name. Do you think that's how he should be repayed for the sacrifice he's made?"

[Bai Chou] "If they kill him over something he could not control, then they're bigger idiots then you are right now. Is he an enemy of the Nation? Has he destroyed a caern? Did he rape, pillage, and plunder? You are trying to use a nuke for a flea. He's Trueborn....which are born less and less as time goes on. We are dying, Boy. If they kill him over this...then we should go around purging all the damn tribes for the crimes of their ancestors...for allowing the decimation of the Red Talon populace, the destruction of the lands belonging to Native Americans, for killing another Garou in a challenge....the list can go on and on and on. You are judging him not with the mind of someone trying to seek wisdom but with the fist of retribution. A life for a life. That's not how it works in our world and you know that."

Bai glared at him now, almost about to get into his face.

"In the eyes of the Nation...a kinfolk's life will not equal up to the life of a True Born. Especially if we managed to cleanse him. Sure...he will get an ass-ripping...he might even have a new anus for awhile after they're done with him...but I doubt its fucking likely they will kill him for this now that he's untainted."

[Brother of the Lost] There was a Boy underneath all that muscle and hair. The Glabro form masked that, and even as Bai 'almost' gets in his face there's no sign of the boy inside. Its his wolf side that spits in a sudden growling snarl, large blunt teeth gleaming at his own tribemate, eyes angry and...

...Tired. Too tired to fight.

"If you're wrong about this. I'm taking it out on you."

[Wahya] (I need to ask. What are Boy and Bai Chou going to do about Gina's house and Maija's remains?)
to Bai Chou, Brother of the Lost

[Bai Chou] "I'll make sure to put a date down for it in my Hello Kitty notebook under Ass-Kicking by Uppity Whipper Snappers. In the meantime...let's get him back into the car...get him to the caern. You can explain yourself...and what went down...but try not to use words that implicate him as some sort of horrid monster."

Bai just stared at him as he smoked, fingers flexing just a little as if he expected Boy to take a swing at him...almost waiting for it.

"You need to have a little more faith kid and not be so cynical on the outcomes of things."

He then moved over to Wahya, looking over the damage..he sighed, moving around the house...going to make some bandages...it wouldn't do if the wolf born bled out before they got to the caern and into the hands of a capable healer.

[Bai Chou] I'd assume go back and clean it up best they can.
to Brother of the Lost, Wahya

[Wahya] (Will they pass Maija's remains on to one of her tribe, or bury her themselves at the caern or ?)
to Bai Chou, Brother of the Lost

[Bai Chou] (Bai is planning on taking Wahya to the caern...I'm still not sure what Boy is doing. x.x)
to Brother of the Lost, Wahya

[Brother of the Lost] "You keep fucking talking." Boy spat back. "We'll move the date up to 'sooner than you think'."

The two of them may have had their bone to pick, but right now dealing with Wahya was more important. They'd get him stable and take him to the caern. And somewhere in between he'd get word to his pack. Someone had to clean that place up.
