In Pursuit of a Fight

[Danny]

Danny landed near the wall border in the middle of what would have been a large square in the physical world.
He set both girls down and pointed down an Umbral street.

"The warehouse should be down that street," he said. "I will fly over the wall and see if it is safe, and meet you back there."

Sparrow nodded and started down the road to the warehouse, glancing back only to make sure Yvonne was on the same page.

[Yvonne]

"Thanks for the lift." she starts only a step behind Sparrow, walking briskly down the street. She's as chatty as ever, but even Yvonne keeps her voice down this close to the wall.
"So you're a talon? I forgot to mention, I'm from the Black Furies. I imagine you're quite a bit better with your nose than I am, so if you notice something let me know."

[Shehrazad]

"Yes, the Spirits guide my senses. Although it is harder in a city with so much taint," she stopped walking and Yvonne realised they had reached the end of the road.
It was just a generic warehouse with glass windows up where the offices would have been. There's nothing special about it. But Sparrow seemed to think otherwise.
"There is so much death here," she said.

[Yvonne]

Yvonne stops and looks around at the building, looking for any signs of recent use, a little suprised that it leaves such a firm impression in spirit.
"This must be an ancient building."
At Sparrow's remark, Yvonne looks around the area with a little more caution, examining the strength the weaver has on the area and looking for wyrm taint.
((sense wyrm))

[Shehrazad]

"It's them," Sparrow said, shaking her head. She pointed to the countless pattern spiders that wove their way around the city. "They are too strong here."

Sparrow wanders around for a while, sniffing the air.
Yvonne realises that she is right. The Weaver's presence in this city strongly outweighs the Wyrm's. She cannot sense any particular Wyrm taint in this area.
When she next looks at Sparrow, she finds her taking her wolf form.
"Wolves were here," Sparrow barks. "Many of them."

[Yvonne]

"You're right, I can hardly sense any corruption here."
She watches Sparrow's wolf form for a few seconds, then nods and... slowly... makes her way into her own blonde-headed black wolf-shape.

[Shehrazad]

"You can sense Wyrmtaint," Sparrow said. "We will need that."
She stared for a while at Yvonne's wolf-form, wondering about the blond head, but said nothing of it. She had apparently never heard of hair-dye.
"What do you think happened here," she asked. "Shall we take a peek?"

[Yvonne]

Yvonne nodded, although it was an odd sight, seeing human body language in a wolf.
"You go ahead, I'll watch your back, we can't let our guard down here."
Yvonne looks around, taking a sniff as well, although she hadn't had much experience with the wolf's senses, they weren't totally alien to her.

[Shehrazad]

Sparrow barked a thanks and concentrated on looking through the gauntlet. It took her a few seconds to push through with her senses, and then she was staring into nothing...

After a long time, she blinked.

"That explains the stench of death," she said cryptically. Then she explained."There is a large car-thing, only bigger, crashed into the door of the building. There are many bodies being removed from inside. The men with suits, what-do-you-call-them... pleasemen, they are keeping people away. Either our cub was here, or your pack has a very good reason for this..."

[Yvonne]

"That will make things difficult, although it's probably just an accident."
She looks up and around her, trying to see if Danny is making his way back to them yet.
"I'm not sure how we could track through that much trouble, even without the police, but an aerial view might give us a clue where to go. If they called just before leaving to attack, they couldn't of gone too far."

[Shehrazad]

Sparrow shook her head.
"When Garou are involved, it's hardly ever accidents," she said. "You are right, they will be hard to track here. But we will try... they stepped into the Umbra close by. You said they haven't been gone long, so their tracks should be fresh. "
She limped around on three paws, locating their scent again and trying to find which way they went.

[Danny]

Danny swooped down a few metres from where they were standing.

"As strange as it seems, there is no sign of immediate danger across the wall," he said with some puzzlement. Apparently he had been expecting giant crablike banes to start manifesting along the wall border.
"I will fly you across. What did you find here?"

[Yvonne]

Yvonne watches Sparrow limping about with concern.
"From what Sparrows-Song sais, a bus has crashed into the building, the police are there helping out. There is too much activity and probably too many distractions to track anyone from here, although it seems they entered the Umbra shortly so she'll be able to track them from here. I was hoping a bird's eye view would give us a clue about where to go next as well?"

[Danny]

"I think they took this road," Sparrow said uncertainly.
She looked up and indicated the road to the other two.
"We'll follow it from here. If we fly we will lose track of them."

"I'm afraid I saw no sign of them from above," Danny said. "If you must follow them, you will have to do it on foot then."
He turned away from Sparrow, who was still observing the area, and looked at Yvonne.
"Are you sure you will be alright?" he asked.

[Yvonne]

"Then we continue on foot. We'll be fine. You should get back to..."
Not 'sitting around doing nothing'! Not 'watching rocks'!
"...guarding the caern. We'll be back soon."
She gives him a smile to try and reassure him. But as ever Yvonne is trying to attach human expression to lupine features.
She turns around and heads after Sparrow.
"Ok, lead on then, I trust your nose."
