Loerei appears all in black, her rather sinewy form moving much quicker than she usually would, though she is not out of breath. Her eyes flick across the park, fixing on Danny as soon as he is in her line of sight, and afraid she's late she makes a beeling for him. She looks somewhat like a mime, as she's white faced with dark shadows beneath her eyes, and her long hair fans around her as she didn't take the time to tie it up. Glancing at Kaleb she gives a smile, and her steps slow as she sees the only person in the vicinity she didn't know was the innocent looking man on the bench. He looked as if he'd been put there just to make the park look inhabited, she thought as she came to a halt next to Danny with her eyes downcast.

Christian continues reading his paper, again flicking to a new page. Such a beautiful day to be out in the park, just enjoying the atmosphere...
Meanwhile, back on Danny’s shoulder...
The little black spider watches from beneath the man’s collar as the newcomer approaches, not quite sure of what to make of her just yet.

Kaleb looks at Lorelei, she apparently had a rough night it appeared. He turns around and looks at the guy on the bench, still reading that paper...he was sure he had some coupons in that damned paper. He shrugs it off, and looks at Danny. "She looks, umm...tired." He attempts a half smile to Danny. He takes the coins and wanders over to the nearest phone booth, he once called home. He picks up the phone, puts coins in and dials Warren's work number. He waits patiently as it rings. He looks at the other coins in his hand, he smiles. He could buy a hotdog at the local cart that was smelling them.

"You alright?" Danny asks, looking a little concerned. "What did your mother to your being out so late?" He still hasn't noticed the spider on his shoulder. "Kaleb went to call Warren. When we're all here, we can plan our next move. Let's walk around for now, and I'll tell you a little about the other creatures who share the world with us. How's that?"

She feels more alert already as she scans Danny. She doesn't see the spider just yet, and she draws a touch closer to him to listen. "I heard her yelling as I left the house but I didn't stop...somehow I'm not feeling her authority over me at the moment. I'm fine...I've had about an hours sleep, so I'm feeling a little...fragile, but I want to hear more." She looks a little over-excited...possibly her body is trying to compensate for the lack of sleep with adrenaline. "Tell me."

Wathcing and listening, watching and listening. The little black spider continues it's surveillance of the group from the security of Danny's collar...
As Christian turns another page of his newspaper...

"Warren it's Kaleb. We're all at the park..got some free time from your slave labor?" Kaleb smirks, he never got the idea of working...you could get all you need in life from nature or from other people.

Kaleb nods his head and hangs up the phone. He looks at the coins again and heads over to the hotdog stand and orders a hotdog. He gives the man the correct change and takes a bite out of the dog and heads back to Danny and Lorelie. Food in mouth he says, "He's coming." Takes another bite

his hummer slowly comes to a halt in front of the park. he turns the vehical off and looks around a little. sighing he hops out and locks his car. he walks around the back of it and can faintly smell some hot dogs from the local vender. his first thought is of keleb and he jogs over to buy him one. he is soon walking down the path with a hotdog in his hand. he spys the man sitting on the bench and walks right on by for he spots the 3 people he was looking for a little ways ahead. "hey keleb, got something for you"

“Let’s start off with the other changers out there. It’s not just wolves, even though many fairy tales that surround us would suggest it. But that only proves that we’re the least subtle of creatures out there. Now, I don’t claim to be an expert on changing breeds. The only ones I’ve known enough of to form a full opinion of are the Corax and the Ratkin. The rest I’ve either met in passing, or just heard stories about." he starts walking away from the man on the bench, until he's well out of earshot.
"Corax are were-ravens, and damn clever little critters they are. They love secrets, and many of them know almost as much about the spirit world as we do. They’re Gaia’s spies, and they’re really good at what they do. Ratkin are twitchy, nosy and sneaky little rodents. I met a colony down in Stuttgart. They don’t trust us, actually, they hate us is more accurate. They still carry a grudge from the war of rage, not that I can blame them really. The Gurahl don’t… I met a were-bear once. They’re supposed to have been wiped out. But they’re just sleeping, biding their time."
He stops and turns to Kaleb. "Good. You didn't buy that with my money did you?" he smirks, and then continues.
"I’ve heard of were-sharks, Rokea they’re called, but we’ve never crossed paths. They’re fierce, more so than the fiercest of red talons. The Nagah, were-snakes, they’re supposed to have been wiped out, but that’s just what they want you to think. I say, if the Nagah don’t want to be found, we won’t find them. Then there’s the cats, the Bastet. I’ve met a few myself. Not the brightest of folk. They’re supposed to be Gaia’s eyes, too bad they don’t have the brains to match. The Mokolé are giant dinosaur shifters. The war of rage burned them bad, there’s so few of them left. They’re Gaia’s memory. I’d love to meet a Mokolé, can you imagine the stories he’d have to tell? All the way since the dawn of time… Well, that’s about it. There’s the Nuwisha and the Kitsune, Coyotes and Foxes. I haven’t met too many, foxes are nasty tricky folk who take nothing seriously. Coyotes are different, they are teachers of sorts, if you’re smart enough to understand their lessons. And there's the spiders… Yes, spiders," he smirks grimly at her reaction. "I haven’t met one, and I don’t think I’d like to either. And not those cute little spiders either. Huge fuckoff spiders with eight huge eyes and pincers that drink blood..."

“...you mean Ananasi?”
Unnoticed by the others in the park, the bald man had since folded up his newspaper, stuck it under his arm, and approached the group of misfits.
Smiling, he reaches towards Danny, picking a little black spider from the man's shoulder. In front of their very eyes, the spider crawls along the bald man’s arm, up his neck and across his face, disappearing into his nostril.
“Hello Danny.” He says, nodding his head a little.
“Kaleb, Lorelei, Warren.”
He addresses them each in turn, standing in silence when he is done.

Kaleb looks at Warren and smiles, food it had to be food. "What is it?" He looks at him eagerly. He then turns back to Danny, "Well, you did give me some extra money, and it happened to be sitting right there." He smirks a bit, then looks at Lorelei. "Glad you could make it, though you look tired as...well...tired." As he was eating his hotdog he heard the man from behind him. Turning his head he looks at the man, who had the paper with the coupons in it. "You know, it's not polite to interrupt private conversations." He stops eating the hotdog and throws it in a nearby trash recepiticle. "I would think this would be the time to tell us who the hell you are, and what you want." He glares to the man. Kaleb then notices the spider running about on the man. "And I thought I had issues with cleanliness." He smirks.

The bald man shakes his head at the men.
“Now, now,” He says, an innocent smile on his face, “Why all the hostility?”
He looks at Warren as he reaches for his weapon.
“There’s no need for violence, officer, I’m unarmed.”
Turning back to Kaleb, he nods to him once again.
“My name, young man, is Christian Schneider,” He says, “Or ‘Lurks-in-Shadows’ if you really want to embarrass me.”

Lorelei listens devotedly, having had time to digest all the information yesterday and she was yet again ready to absorb whatever she could from Danny, in a spongelike sort of way. "So theres ravens, rats, cats, d-dinosaurs, foxes cyotes, cats, spiders..." there would have to be spiders..."and wolves of course. Avoiding rats, cats, foxes and spiders to begin with...." She falls quiet as kaleb and the new one join them. Nodding nervously to Warren she jumps as Christian adresses them. Watching his performance with the spider she moves a touch closer to Danny again, wincing internally eight foor spider...why did it have to be spiders... He knew her name too. Wonderful. She becomes very silent and though she can hardly become paler than she already was, she wonders if it was obvious how unnerved she is becoming.
