Location Kinfolk House


Leif trudges in with a little wolf pup slung over his shoulders like a fine fur stole. The pup has a shoe that's almost as big as she is grasped in her teeth.


Heidi trots up to grab a seat and passes by Leif. "Hey Leif. Freya.." the pup is greeted and she chuckles over the shoe. "Who's cabin did that come from?" Hehe.


Khol Comes walking out, having decided to take the walk out to the Kinhouse, rather than drive today. He has his nicer silk outfit on today, but he doesnt look like he is planning on anything formal.


Bella arrives for her cabin while adorned in a simple whilte blouse and blue jeans. Her dark hair is gathered into a long side braid that reaches to her tiny waist. She peeks over those gathered here, having a smile.


Dalibor comes walking down the trail, from the deep woods, a long soft-sided case slung over one shoulder. He pauses, nodding in greeting to the group. "Evening all."


George walks in with two brief cases, one regular sized and shiny crome and a second extra long and matte black. Looking around for a bit he heads to somewhere to sit with a mischevous grin.


The little wolf pup waits for Leif to come to a stop, then the shoe slips from the pointy grip of her teeth. Leif puts a hand up on the pup and then crouches down to retrieve it, offering it back to her. She chomps it. "Fuck if I know. She came home with it," he tells Heidi, bending down again as the pup drops the shoe and handing it back to her. The pup gives the shoe a little shake and Leif gives her scritches. Then drops the shoe again and Leif bends down once more to retrieve it. The pup has taught the big-ass Ahroun to fetch!


The rattle rumble of a bike can be heard for a mile out or so, and by the time it arrives there's no mistaking the wild haired brute on the back of it, or the statuesque blonde riding bitch. Einar brings the hog to a park along the dirt road, and waits for Sonja to dismount before he's swinging a leg over the bike and standing to his full height. A hand goes through his hair to semi-tame the mane and he waits for his companion to ready herself before slinging an arm around the kinfolk and walking up to the big ass group. "How are ya now?" he greets.


The backyard of the kinfolk house has been set up for the Friday night Gathering. A big fire burns away merrily in the firepit, with a stack of wood nearby to kept the flames happily fed. Zoe is wearing what is becoming more normal for her - low slung bdu's belted on, a long sleeved black shirt with an olive drab shirt over it. There's a ring on her right hand and a bracelet on her left wrist, but otherwise, just the lip and septum rings for jewelry. "Good evening, everyone! As we gather under Luna's face, to enjoy the weather Gaia provides, please make sure everyone knows everyone else." There's a pause before she launches into her own,formal, introduction, "I am Zoe Killigrew, daughter of Mist-Walker, grand-daughter of Shatters-the-Throne, great-grand daughter of Death-Sings-Loudest, great-great grand daughter of Voice-in-the-Silence, great-great-great grand daughter of Patriarch's Bane. Black Fury kinfolk, shapeshifter and enchantress."


Sonja climbs off then takes off her helmet, putting it on the seat of the bike before turning to step up to Einar. She smiles at him as he pulls her up against his side, her arm sliding around the small of his back to hook a finger in a beltloop. Using it to half hug him she walks towards the group, nodding and murmuring hellos as they walk along.


Leif leans down yet again to pick up the shoe and grumbles as he hands it to the little wolf cub draped over his shoulder, but he ties the shoelace around one of the little braids in his hair. He's 7 foot tall and that's a long ways down. "Leif Pederson, rited The Wall, Homid born Cliath and Modi of the Get of Fenris tribe, great grandson of Dies Twice and dedicated to service of Badger."


Erin arrives with Ben, letting him drive as they where chatting all the way to the gathering as she looks around she takes a breath "so many" she looks to Ben and smiles at him.


Walking alongside Erin, Ben arrives shortly after most the others. He glances around, offering smiles to people as he arrives. "Plenty of people, yes." A grin to Erin. "You know most of them?"


Bella peeks over the large gathering, having a sheepish smile. She then goes to curl up on the grass somewhere. "I am Bella, kinfolk."


Sonja perks up, Killigrew mentioned introductions, and since it happens to be one of the things a Silver Fang enjoys she's happy to provide hers. "I am Sonja Nikita Tvarivich, second cousin to Queen Tvarivich of Clan of the Crescent moon, daughter of the Theurge Vladir "Spirit's Cry" Tvarivich, granddaughter of my namesake Galliard Sonja "Windwhispers" Tvarivich and great granddaughter of Theurge Mishka "Gaia's Light" Tvarivich of the Tvarivich Dynasty. Kinfolk to the Silver Fangs, and Oracle of House Crescent Moon. I am currently fulfilling the role of Shaman for the Moon Lodge in Prospect." She smiles warmly and looks to Einar. "Mate to Einar 'Rides-Thunder' of the Get of Fenris."


ERin looks at all the people and then nodnods to Ben "yeah, but still overwhelming to see them all at once" she nudges him and then guestures "Shall we get closer" she does take his arm cuz you know she is known to do that and he is totally going to save her .. ok not really but it's still funny.


George grins at Killigrew "I'm George Andrews, rited 'Mocks-the-Dark', Homid born Elder Ragabash of the Silent Striders. Member of the Council of Elders for the Sept of Enduring Spirit." Then he reaches down and pats the chrome brief case "This is Aquetas." then the matte black long case "This is Veritas."


Khol smiles a little seeing everyone. He listens to the introductions as they start, not hurrying to get his done, letting everyone else do their first. When it does come about he offers in his calm voice. "I am Khol Cooper, Kinfolk to the Stargazers, Mate to Johanna Cooper, Who is Denmother and Elder Philodox Rited Starchaser. We follow Mammoth in the pack of Kandula's Hope." He doesnt go into greater depth than this, but does give a slight bow to the gathering in respect.


Theron arrives as introduction have already started. The Get kinfolk looks around, he has met the entire crew and so he just hangs back and shuts up. No need to introduce himself, or at least he thinks not.


Dalibor unslings the case, carefully laying it down. As he straightens, he adds his accented-voice to the chorus of introductions. "Dalibor Gataric, rited as Burns-the-Night. Cliath Modi of Fenrir, born on two-legs to Andrej 'Cleaves-the-Sky' Gataric of the Gaiine Suze Zagrmise."


Evonna wasn't here, but now she is. No she is not a no moon, but she has friends that are. It has to rub off sometimes? Really, it's a big crowd, so not that hard to just show up in it. She adds her own voice to all being said, "I am Evonna Kummerow, rited Blood Thorn, Cliath Forsetti of the Fenrir, daughter of Henrich Kummerow, rited Bathes in Blood, Ahroun, son of Elder Godi, Helga Kummerow, rited Vision of Northern Lights."


"Congratulations, Sonja and Einar on your mating!" Killi calls out, whistling and clapping loudly. "I know this is a little different than the Gatherings of the past. And I apologize for that. Bergin left some big shoes to fill for these parties. Taika is willing to teach anyone that wishes to learn the Rite of Contrition. And Evonna has offered to teach any of Fenrir's Get the Rite of Lodge House." The Fury kin pauses, then speaks up again, "Who here is willing to tell a story tonight?"


Ben smirks to Erin. "And you're shy about this many people being here?" He grins. "Your daughter is like you." He teases, friendly in tone. A glance then to the others as they start introductions. "I am Benjamin Godwyn, Patience Of Eikþyrnir, Cliath Forseti of the Fenrir. Son of Stephen Godwyn, Clenched Jaw of the North. Grandson of Thunder's Reprieve. Great-Grandson of Tusk-Breaker."


Heidi drops the cooler full of beer she was carrying by her feet. "Heidi Vardanyan. Kin to the Mighty Get of Fenris. Hello everyone."


Einar saunters along with his kinfolk as they settle into the gathering, finding somewhere sturdy to lean on and keep the blonde close, of course his positioning is somewhere in between all of the Fenrir in particular, giving each a chin-up greeting. There's a hint of a twist to his lips though as introductions continue to go on around them, and the Get ends up only some what wrinkling his nose - he wouldn't try to rob the joy from Sonja. "Einar Skallgrim, rited Rides-Thunder, Cliath Fenrir born on two legs under the new moon to Elder Modi Brynhilde Skallgrim rited Battle-Born, of the Iced Rune Sept there, third bearer of the Jarlhammer Skjoldbresta, daughter of Elder Modi Harrolt Skallgrim rited Hammerhands, of the Frost Fang sept in Greenland, second bearer of Skjoldbresta, son of Athro Godi Torsvald Skallgrim rited Wyrm-Biter maker and first bearer of Skjoldbresta. Official Lead Asshole of Rescue Team Blue," and he does it all without having to breath in the middle like one long run-on sentence until it's done and then he sucks in a breath because fuck that was long-winded. Course the pride shown at Sonja's proclamation goes into the thousands of lumens in brightness. Evonna appears, and he gives her and Detlef, Ben and Dalibor in particular some friendly greetings. Zoe makes a big deal out of it and he just gives her a scowl.


Oh sure of all times to arrive, introductions Erin's least favorite. When Ben picks on her nd nudges her she sticks her tongue out at him. She looks around and bites her lip waiting for more people to speak up before she does "Erin Harrison, Kinfolk to Mother Ananasa and related to the Fae" she smiles and then claps for Sona and Einar as Zoe points out the news.


STories? Leif has a few of those. He's been travelling for a while, but he is disinclined to speak up, especially since the wolf pup has caught onto Leif's trick with the shoe tied to his braid. She gives it a violent little shake and Leif barely even notices. "I'm going to make you walk if you don't stop," he informs the little wolf, who schlurps Leif on the face and continues to tug on the shoe


Heidi passes down the line some beers she points over to Einar and Sonja in a celebratory gesture. Two bottles of iced Dark Howl go their way. She gives the couple a thumbs up and then returns to looking at Kill who is hostess tonight.


Taika steps forward, leaving Kora to sit in her pimped out wheelchair. He steps forward as someone wants a story told and he leans back, hand to mouth, and shouts, "Hiiiiyeeeee.". Taika moves to fireside so they can see his face, which is fixing Maori stares and broad tongue displays. "I want to tell a story of friendship, a story of family, and a story of loss. Will you hear me?"


Theron meanders on over towards Heidi, giving her a light nudge as he passes and finds a spot to sit near by. He gives Einar and Sonja a nod, but doesnt make a big deal of the pair, plenty of that going around. Instead his gaze is brought to Taika as he begins his tale. Theron has reconnected.


Killigrew moves to the side as Taika steps forward, building the fire a little higher, then joining the rest of the people that have gathered, finding a spot to sit and listen for now. She is joined, a few moments later, by a black hispo with a Fury glyph branded on her right shoulder. The big wolf laying behind her to act as a backrest.


Erin blinksblinks as there is Taika and she smiles and tilts her head as he seems to be the one that will be telling a story, yay she likes story time. She looks to Ben and nudges him and then goes to get some beers from Heidi and gives her a hug before she comes back to Ben's side and offers him one of the beers as she settles to hear the story.


Einar gives a loud hoot for Taika as he shows up and volunteers a story. Hey, he's always going to root for Fenris!


Leif wanders over to Kora and sits down next to her. The pup around his shoulder manages to get the shoe free from where it's tied and drops it at Kora. Well? Can YOU play fetch too? Freya the pup is very good at teaching people to play fetch. Leif reaches out and picks up the shoe and hands it back to the little baby woof. So obedient, he is. Leif is watching Taika and his story


Evonna claps in support of Taika, and howls to encourage him to share.


Dalibor nods in answer to the Maori Skald, "Of course, my friend..."


Heidi smiles over when Kora appears and she lifts a hand to wave to the Maori girl in the wheelchair. A nod to Taika when she sees him stepping up to the fire and she sits back to listen. Theron gets a nudge back, and she moves over to share her seat with the berserker. While being quiet, she reaches a hand into her ice cooler and passes him a beer. Erin gets a few brews, heck who else? She receives the hug then waves over to Ben with a smile.


Khol moves around the outskirts, smiling and will say hello to people, but he wont interupt anything.


Ben wanders over with Erin towards Heidi, offering a hug to the woman as well. Once beers are retrieved, he finds a seat nearby to listen to Taika's story. It's a relaxing evening for the big man.


Taika continues, "I am not the first to have met Zoe Killigrew when she found her way to our Sept, but like any who happen upon this Black Fury kin with a list of ancestors longer than most of ours out together...and I think someone needs to verify all of those Miss Killigrew," he jokes as he finds her in the crowd. "Like any who find her, they can't help but be taken in by her powerful personality, her boundless generosity, especially when it came to my sister, and her story. It is a story we unfortunately have similar tales to. A story of loved ones lost to the enemy, of the horror of not knowing what is happening to the ones left behind, and a story of trying to find help. This is a sad story, but it is also a story of hope. It is a story of a Sept uniting - all for one and one for all. It is a story of our commitment to Mother Gaia as well as to each other. Miss Killigrew asked is for our help and we not only gave her help, we gave her our friendship and family.". He pauses.


The beer popped open, Theron lifts the bottle in a salute to Heidi in thanks and then takes his first sip. He listens on to Taika as he begins his story, a hand reaching back to unclasp the sword to settle it next to him as he listens on, all to be more comfortable of course.


Erin looks at Ben and then all the people near Heidi and she takes a breath before she sits down near them someone is going to get leaned up against for sure weather it be Ben or Heidi is yet to be determing right now there is a story so Erin pays attention as she fidgets.


Evonna sees Heidi and the brews and makes her way over toward her to see if she can get one as well, while listening to Taika.


Killigrew wasn't expecting that. Cheeks go red, and she sits up a little more, absently ruffling the ears of the hispo Fury. The big wolf headbumps the kin, rocking her in place before Zoe shushes her Mom with a gentle tug to those sensitive whiskers. Mist-Walker turns the full weight of her focus on Taika, the kin just getting pinker in the cheeks.


Leif lifts his beer in support of Taika's words. Where did he get a beer? Who knows. But he has one, and it's lifted as Taika speaks about Zoe.


Einar will totally slide towards Heidi with Sonja in tow if there's booze being handed out! But he's also giving his attention to Taika's story giving a whoop of recognition as he tells a very recent story the Rotagar knows well.


Heidi extends an arm to take Erin under her left wing and shares bench room. "I got jerky too." She whispers to the group. The Swedish kin is like the Momma that packs everything for all the kids in the movie theatre. She brings out jerky and passes it along to the group one way, and then it goes the other way. And in another bag she pulls out some smaller samples of swiss chocolate. The really good stuff, and passes it along as well. Evonna gets a handful of chocolate first. "Hey," she greets with a whisper and smile, still being respectful of Taika's epic story.


George is listen to the story and sipping a beer someone brought him. It might actually have been meant to be his in the first place.


Taika makes a Maori face and continues, "Our Elders went to war. They frozen hell for one of us. They took down a corrupted Totem for one of us, and it isn't just because the Litany demands that you combat the Wyrm where it lies, for fuck yeah we did, but they did it because that is what you fucking so for family.". He drops into a deep horseback stance and beats at his chest, making a face.

Our Elders weren't the only ones to go to battle though, although they were the ones to bring the most destruction as is the way of things. Blue Jay's pack of Get rescued Killigrew's family and kin. They rushed in without fear for their own safety and did what had to be done - because of family. They are new to this Sept themselves and yet family is THE language of our Nation. It is the ONLY language that matters and you fight for your family. You do what must be done regardless of the outcome for family."

Taika then looks to find those who were with him, "And once the kin were rescued, we had healers ready for them. The healers were targets too. Chases the Wind-rhya has my respect because he did what had to be done, what was probably the hardest thing to do on that day. He brought Zoe's Mother back to her. Her Mother's last gift was a battlescar on Zoe's chest. Let it me a reminder of all that was good in your Mother, but let it also remind you of your new family here. We would go to hell and back for you - for each of you. All you have to do is ask, because that is what families do.". He moves to give Zoe a hug before returning to his seat in the crowd.


"Jackpot." Theron murmurs as he gets himself some jerky, listening on to Taika's tale, washing it down with some of his beer.


Sonja takes the offered drink from Heidi with a warm smile and a whispered thanks. She looks to Taika as he tells the story, leaning against Einar to rest her head in the crook of his shoulder.


The unfortunate soul is Heidi, I mean no no it's Erin's saving grace and Erin leans against Heidi as she closes her eyes to listen to Taika, if you can't see them, they aren't there. No one said that the red headed trouble maker was not complicated if anything she is super odd as hell. When it's clear the story has come to and end. She opens her violet eyes and gives Taika a cheer and even wolf whistles for him. She looks around and cheers "For family" then awkwardly leans back against Heidi.


Khol listens as the tale is told, saying nothing, not even continuing to do his walk around as he attends to it and what Taika says as well.


JACKPOT! Evonna scores with more than just a drink but CHOCOLATE! YUM! Not just chocolate, but from closer to home. She grins in thanks to Heidi, not wanting to interupt the great tale by Taika. As he finishes his story, she is howling in appreciation for his rendition of what they did for Zoe.


Heidi makes sure everyone has brews tonight after that fantastic story told by the Maori. She also offers reassurance to Erin. "Thank you for healing our people, Erin. I know you were there too. Or so I heard." She sees George with something to drink. Is it a Vardanyan brew? He gets a curious eye-ball. Heidi claps also after Ev cues. She then lifts a fist to cheer.


Ben has jerky and beer. The big Philodox cheers and applauds at the appropriate moment, nodding to Taika for a story well told. He sips from his beer, after raising it in a toast.


Killigrew rises to meet the Maori man's hug, squeezing tight, then slapping his back. "Jerk." she mumbles affectionately, smiling and rubbing at her eyes to remove any conspicuous wetness. Mist-Walker rises to sit primly, flicking her tail around her paws as if to warm them. Posture regal. Proud.


Fiona steps out to the clearing from the house, the forest floor crunching under her boots. When she sees the large crowd a smile grows wide on her lips. Once there she gives a friendly wave and moves to find a seat on one of the timbers


Erin turns to Heidi and nods "yeah and no worries, for family like Taika said" she says softly and then takes a piece of chocolate and sticks it into her mouth giving Heidi a wink.


Who's getting chocolate?! Not Leif. He has a drink and a wolf pup with a slobbery shoe on his shoulder, but no chocolate. As the story ends and hugs are given, Leif lifts his drink again in a sort of salute.


Taika embraces Zoe, gives her Mom a formal bow, and then walks back to sit next to Kora. He spots Leif and offers the man a fist bump. Kora is raptured by the 'widdle woof woof' -her words- and asks, "Can I let her?". It's totally a her in Kora's mind. Taika gives Kora a kiss on her knit cap and flops down next to her chair. Ben is spotted and Taika crawls over for a moment, "Ben, I have a proposition for you when this is over. I'll find you.". He gives Erin a quick hug, offers knuckles to Heidi with a wink, and crawls back once that is done and waves to anyone else he spots. Einar and Sonja are given a thumbs up too, not that he fully knows their news just yet.


Dalibor shifts his weight slightly at the mention of the kin rescue. He gives taika and Zoe a nod, while fishing his flask out of his pocket and raising it in a toast.


George salutes with his beer when the story's over and site there sipping it with a look of contemplation on his face. Waiting for the next thing.


Einar lifts his celebration beer up and shouts, "Cheers to doin the right fuckin thing," he calls to the newbie Gets, and to Taika, and to Erin, and the whole gathering. Then the Fenrir puts the bottle to his mouth to gulp down several swallows before coming up for air. He wears a broad grin on his features and with Sonja close he happily turns to press a kiss against her temple, his hand kind of tugging at the leather Cut around her form, keeping her close. Taika gets a fist over chest salute with a broad grin, "Fuckin well told, brother!"


"Alright. I have some paintball guns for tonight's main event." Killi says, getting herself together, still a bit pink in the cheeks. She motions to a trio of trees with simple targets up made of plywood and spray paint. "The skills of our warriors have been tested in many ways, but those that favor guns haven't been tried, yet." There's a a bale of hay with a half dozen paintball guns laid on it. "Keeping it simple, tonight. Highest score, wins."


Oh yay hugs and she hugs Taika back, Erin does enjoy hugs it seems, she smiles at Taika and waves to Kora and Leif before looking around as she takes a sip of her beer smiling at Heidi and then tells her "Thanks"


Leif fistbumps Taika and dismounts the little wolf from his shoulders. The wolf doesn't mind. She's getting used to it. He scooches over closer to Kora with a little wiggle wiggle and sets the pup where Kora can reach and pokes the wolf pup in the nose. "No bites." Chormpschlurp! The little wolf, whose name is Freya, slooooowly bites Leif's finger and then slurps it. Einar's cry gets a 'HUZZAH!' from Leif and another raise of the beer.


Ben looks to Taika when he comments to him. "Oh?" He looks intrigued, still relaxing where he's seated. "Later then." A grin to the Skald. He looks to Heidi and Erin, grinning. "Excellent work, with the healing, indeed." He praises.


Sonja holds onto her bottle, not diving into it yet. She laughs softly as Einar whoops and hollars, giving him an affectionately amused look. A soft blush starts as he kisses her temple and she turns to hug him tightly in return, resting her cheek against his shoulder. She watches the group at large, a small shake in her head. "This is beautiful. So many of different paths together for each other." Then she straightens back up and loosens her hold on the Get next to her, already knowing he's going to want to try.


Heidi gives Taika the slip of some snacks when he fist bumps her. He gets jerky and chocolate to take back to his sister, and Leif now that his hands are free. She nods back to Erin with a smile. 'Hey. I killed my arms today pounding metal in Theron's forge. And I'm going to pass on the paintball. I'll check in with you guys later, ok?" She offers to leave the cooler with Ben.


And now it's time for Leif to get up off his ass and do something. He pulls a little cloth that doesn't really qualify as a blanket out of one of his pockets and drapes it over the pup, then pushes up to his feet. MAN he's tall. He just keeps going up and up and up and up. "Never shot one. I'll give it a go."


Khol doesnt know many of these newer Garou well, so he is mostly just listening unless he is addressed.


Erin hugs Heidi "Put some ice on it and make sure you keep your arms moving, they will get fucking stiff if you baby them' she sagely nodsnods then looks to Ben "you coming?" she skips over to get in line to give it a try cuz you know you at least have to try.


George grins a little wryly when Killigrew mentions paintball guns and he pats his cases and says something in spanish before heading over "I haven't played paintball in ages. I'll have a go." and he takes one and looks at the targets.


Ben gets to his feet, finishing off his jerky. "Sure. Guns aren't my primary training, though." The man offers over, heading over with Erin towards the paintball guns.


Theron rises when Heidi does, "Someones gotta keep her working.." he muses, "I'll pass on the challenge this time...god knows I can't shoot like I can swing a sword." he then moves to head out with Heidi.


Taika gives Einar a Maori face in response to the salute. Warrior respects warrior. Kora pets Freya and doesn't mind the occasional bite in return. She does say 'No! and then ticks, "I ain't afraid of the big bad wolf." Pop. Taika can't shoot for shit and would likely end up shooting someone. With a nod and a thumbs up to Ben.


Heidi nods to Erin, "Ice. Got it. Thanks doc." She grins and grabs her bag to head on out. One hand does fist bump Taika in the shoulder as she goes. "Well done story."


Einar gives Sonja a quick rump squeeze and gives her cheek another kiss before he goes up to the challenge. He's not a TERRIBLE shot, but he's no marksman! He manages to hit all three shots, and when he's through with his turn the Rotagar goes into cheerleader mode for any of the other Fenris, "Fuckin get some!"


Dalibor wanders over and hefts a few of the paintball guns, until he finds one he likes. Sure that'll work. It's no SKS or SiG, but it'll work. He takes three rapid shots and grimaces at the placement. Paintballs are so... not bullets. But he hits the targets each time, so there's that.


Ben's shots all hit the target - very much all in the same place. Though it's hard to tell the scoring - we'll see how it totals out.


George is a marksman, and still manages to miss the target circle with one of the shots completely. The other two splat fairly solidly on point though, and George just smiles and shrugs.


Dalibor is right paintballs are not normal. She hit the target but who knows indeed who won. Erin smiles "Well that was different" she smiles at Ben and then looks around "I hit at least so that's good, much better than my throwing" she giggles.


Sonja moves to watch Ein shoot, a soft smile lingering. She claps for him when he's finished, and moves back to stand next to him as she watches others take their turn. "Could you teach me to shoot? Real guns, not paintball. I do not think it would be a bad skill for me to know. For just in case?"


Leif spends almost a full minute trying to figure out the mechanism. He has literally NEVER shot a gun before. Ever. Not even a toy one. Claws. Teeth. Fists. Unga Bunga. But he finally figures it out by watching someone else do the thing. He pops off his three shots, taking a really long time getting it all set up and hey! He doesn't do too bad at all! Nothing is dead on target, but he does better than a few people!


Killigrew calls out the results of the shooting, naming Erin the winner and clapping loudly for the kinfolk.


Einar returns to Sonja and then gives her a quick nod, "Get'cha set with a fuckin shotgun, and a hand gun for whatever you may need," he agrees, "We can fuckin maybe set up a range at Stonecreek for practice," he thinks aloud for a moment, and then glances around at those who're competing. He wasn't planning on being the winner, so he's just content for having hit the boards! Back to celebratory beer with a thick swallow as he settles again. "Good stories, good competition, good fuckin gathering," he says with a broad grin.


Evonna is cheering for everyone and moves over toward Einar. She speaks softly to him for a moment.


George ambles back over to sit beside his cases where he left them, accquiring a new beer from somewhere. He sips at it and looks out over the crowd again.


Erin for a moment doesn't think she won because she never wins at these things but she always tries then blinks as the score goes up and Zoe calls out as her being the winnner, shit she won by the hair of her chiny chin chin and then she looks around and yays and can't help but do a little dance before she bounces over to Zoe and hugs her before she returns to her spot near Ben and seems pretty happy right now.


Ben nods to Erin, the man smiling. "Well shot, Erin. Seems like you're a dead-aim with a firearm. Good to know." A grin as she celebrates with a Zoe-hug before returning.


Leif offers a fist bump to both Erin and George, since they beat him, and then to the others who competed. "Good shooting, guys and gal. Who's up for round two?" He glances over at Zoe. "Can we do a round 2?" He seems almost excited about the idea now


Dalibor raises an eyebrow as he nods to Erin. "Good shooting." Dal's not much of a talker. And that simple phrase means quite a lot from the Modi.


Einar perks some as Evonna approaches, and he angles his ear to her for that murmur, he nods once and then sets a hand on her shoulder gently, "This is fuckin good, any help I can give, it's yours," he assures his sister. A few loud claps are given for Erin, she won fair and square! The other competitors are given salutes when he catches their gazes.


Taika gives Erin a hi-5 and Kora gives her a thumbs up followed by the middle finger and a pop. "I didnt know you could shoot that well. Next time we will have to set you up with a sniper's post and you can cover us." Having overheard Einar, Taika states, "I'll add a range to my honey do list."


Evonna grins, "Perfect. Soon, ja." She calls out, "Good show Erin."


"If you want to continue shooting, there are plenty of paintballs." Zoe says indulging Leif with a laugh. "Erin brought fixings by for S'mores, earlier. You're all welcome to stay and enjoy the hospitality of the kin house for as long as you want."
