Lutherische Kirche

[WoDBerlin]

Lutheran chruch in the middle of the city. It has been closed for a few years due to structuaral damage as well as funding being non-existant.Two stories, the main church part and the basement. In the basement there are two bathrooms, male and female. The office for a pastor and a small area for holding receptions for whatever.

[Danny]

Danny leads the small group up to the abandoned church. The place was basically boarded up, but around the back was a shattered glass entrance a fully grown wolf could squeeze through easily.

"I found this place when I first arrived in town. I slept here for a while before I got in touch with Simon and scouted out the area. It's relatively safe, but we'll need to do some shifting to get in."

[Klaus]

Christian smiles as they leave the park.

“Why yes, I've lived in Berlin all my life.” He says as they arrive at the church.

Taking a look at the entrance, Christian nods.

“If you have no objections to me scouting ahead...?” He says, motioning to the shattered glass. Hearing no complaints, he heads closer, stopping at the church’s wall.

In an instant, the bald-headed figure literally dissolves into hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny black spiders.

While each was no bigger than a man’s fingernail, there were just so many...

The eight-legged beasties skitter into the opening, yet oddly, make no sound at all.

Once inside the church, the swarm of arachnids gradually reform into the familiar shape of Christian. Taking a quick look around, he deems the area safe and calls out to the others.

“Looks okay to me.” He says.

[Kaleb]

Kaleb watches spider man mutate into his thousands of tiny spiders and he crinkles his nose a bit. Well he didn't ask to be a shifter of spiders, it was what he was born of...poor guy he thinks to himself.
He looks at Danny and then watches the spiders go into the church.
"Why exactly did we feel the need to come here with him? He never did say what sort of familiy buisness help he needed." Kaleb looks to both Lorelei and Warren. He stops his gaze at Warren.
"You bring anything else on ya besides that hot dog?" He smiles a bit.

[Lorelei Hagen]

Lorelei follows them dutifully, still staying dumb...for fear of looking it. She doesn't make anysort of distinctive movement until Christian dissolves into a small wave of spiders and her enitire body bunches, her muscles tensing as she fights the standard human reaction to seeing a man evaporate into hundreds of thousands of spiders...namely, shriek and cling to the nearest person gibbering like a fool. Time to grow up, kiddo... she looks quickly at Danny and then away, the look in her eyes clearly stating ick . It wasn't Christian himself she was disgusted with...but come on she was a teenage girl. Very few would appreciate a monsoon of spiders.

[Warren]

following danny around back he looks at the building. he wonders how safe it could really be inside but he trusted danny's judgement. reaching the back he spys christian disolving into many spiders. resisting the urge to step on them he transforms into the wolf inside of him. he takes a small running start and hops through the window. when inside he looks around before changing back. he soon looks at the others; first on keleb "no sorry man, i didnt. maybe we can go somewhere after tonight, im getting a little hungry too." he looks at danny " you know i was here when they closed this up. when did you say you started coming in here?"

[Danny]

"A couple of weeks at most. I haven't been in town that long."

Even Danny found it difficult to conceal his surprise at Christian’s act of dissolving into the creepy crawlies. He didn’t have a problem with spiders, but this had been a little unexpected. But unlike Lorelei, he was surveying the spiders with a surprised look of interest rather than horror.

“Relax.” He says, seeing Lorelei recoil. “Their venom might be deadly to humans, but you’re Garou now. There’s little that can hurt you.”

Of course, Danny would not understand that it wasn’t the danger behind the spiders that spooked her. There was still a lot about humans that Danny didn’t understand, even though he tried.

“Guess we’ll have to copy Warren and jump.” He says, shifting through to Lupus. Then with one giant leap he was inside the church.

[Lorelei Hagen]

Lorelei tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear, listening to Dannys reassurances. "I know...sorry." She is comforted, though it was not exactly the problem, and whats more he made sense. Time to stop thinking like a...human. Obediently, she mimics her mentor and shifts... she takes her jacket off first though. No one would notice it in the church grounds and she kept up like this she was gonna run out of clothes.
A couple of seconds later, more from trust of the instructions shes given than anything else, she too is stood inside the church.

[Klaus]

As Christian waits for Kaleb to join them, he looks at Warren, Lorelei and Danny.

"Danny, you seem like the alpha male of the group," He says, "I'll give you a brief rundown while we wait for the other to get over his fear of dark and spooky places..."

He flashes a smile.

"To put it bluntly," He says, "This city of mine is in bad shape. Garou who follow the Wyrm freely roam the area; Kindred... Vampires, vie for leadership of the mortals and extermination of the 'shifters'; my brothers and sisters have fallen to both of these threats..."

He pauses for a moment.

"I am not sure if you are aware of this," He continues, "But a Garou Caern lies within Berlin's limits, it is that which the tainted Garou seek to re-open."

"That is why I have sought you out."

[Kaleb]

Kaleb sighs and shifts as well. He follows Lorelie to the direction that Danny and the others had probably went to.
He arrives to hear the end speal of Christian's. He shakes his head at what he hears. Vampires and wyrm tainted fuckers killed his brothers and sisters? Well that is why he came here for help, one of him against them all. He understood him now. And a caern in Berlin's limits? That caught his attention as well. He never suspected or knew about it, and he had been here in Berlin a long time, and never heard talk of it. He looks around the church and then back to Christian.

[Warren]

he listens to christians story with his arms folded and a new cig hanging from his mouth. he only turns his attention away when keleb joins them

[Danny]

"Hmm, I'll need to take the time to dedicate those clothes to you." he says to Lorelei after he shifts back to homid. "Maybe just stick to Lupus for now?" he says somewhat apologetically. He had forgotten about that.

"I noted the vampire problem when I arrived. They seem to have run of the place." he sighs as his suspicions are confirmed. "Black Spiral Dancers, I was worried about that. At least they don't know about us yet. I am sorry about your brothers."

He looks thoughtful for a while. There were so few of them, and so many threats. They didn't really stand much of a chance.

"We cannot allow them to taint the Caern." he says finally. "If they haven't got to it yet, maybe we still have a chance. Do you know where it is?"

[Klaus]

Christian frowns.

"These Black Spiral Dancers," He says, "You have not yet encountered them? That's odd."

He pauses for a moment, thinking.

"Well," He continues, "I have no wish to see my city fall to Kindred, nor these followers of the Wyrm. If these Black Spiral Dancers consolidate their foothold, they will be quite a thorn in my... our sides. If we were to confront them now, I believe we may have a chance in cleaning up Berlin."

He looks the group over. It was going to be tough to attempt anything with this lot, but they were the best chance he had.

"And so," He says, "I suggest we take this Garou Caern before the Wyrm-followers have a chance to do so. From there, we can stage attacks against them, and, in time, the Kindred of Berlin."

He looks at each of the Garou in turn.

"The Caern is not far from here," He says, his voice hushed, "I can take you there tomorrow. I am sure you wish to make some arrangements prior to this inevitable battle, but I suggest you make haste in doing so."

He takes one final look at them, before speaking again.

"I give you twenty four hours. If you are not here by this time tomorrow, I will take the Caern myself."

With that, he once again dissolves into his Crawlerling form, and the arachnids scuttle-off into the shadows of the church.

[Kaleb]

Kaleb looks at Danny and Warren.
"So, he calls the shots now?" He sneers and looks around to see if there are any more creepy crawlies about.
"You know I've been here my whole life, and yet to hear or know about a caern. But if there is one, I suggest we take it. Who is he? One of him versus all the black spirals and vampires? He surely must have hit his head in the battle that killed many of his kind." He pads around the room, thinking to himself.
He seemed to be calling all the shots now, and they knew little to nothing about this shifter. But if Danny wanted to follow him for whatever reason, maybe he had an idea on him. Maybe he planned on taking the caern for himself and kicking the bug man to the curb so to speak. He snickered to himself, running an idea to himself.
He looks at Warren and motions with his head to come over by him.

[Lorelei Hagen]

Lorelei looks greatfully up at Danny and remains sitting on her haunches, hoping that Christian won't think she's being rude...but again with the nudity and the still human emotions.
She listens to it all, her head spinning and skipping past the chucnks she doesn't understand but she recognises some of the things he speaks off from her talks with Danny the day before...and watches her mentors face intently, reading the displeasure...not anger though. Acceptance, maybe...but whatever this was, it did not sound good.
She watches the guy disappear into the locus of bugs again, but manages to stay perfectly still when they scurry past her.
She just kept her eyes on Danny expectantly, waiting for translations or instructions.
