Scene: Setting
|
Food: The big bay doors of the machine shop have been opened and tables set in the openings laiden with food. Large aluminum pans of mashed tatters, corn, biscuits are set up to cater to whatever sized group shows up. The main attraction are the wide selection of main dishes. Everything from vegetarian curry to barbequed pork, grilled salmon and steak with some whole, rotisserie chickens - juicy and herb-flavored to whet the appetite. Drinks: At the end of the line are a mixture of different coolers, each one filled with ice and drinks in a set up where people take what they want and move on. Selections include beer, water and a few brands of soda for those interested. Tables: Sheets of plywood have been set up on saw horses to create long tables for people to sit and eat at before taking their comfort around the fire. Fire Ring: Chairs, benches and everything in between have been set in a large circle around the central fire where the flames are kept moderately high to provide light and warmth for the crowd.

Welcome & Introductions
The young, bearded theurge smiles at the kinfolk's assistance and clears his throat with a faint smile. "Hey folks, for those who are new to the Gathering, let me first welcome you all here. I'm Jay Bergin, called Foe Hammer by the People but most people know me simply as Bergin or Berg." He smiles and looks around the gathered crowd as folks still continue to arrive and grab their food to settle in. |
"As you can see we have plenty of food and drink for ya tonight and you're welcome to take your fill." He takes a sip from his beer and smacks his lips with an audible 'Ah' in enjoyment. "But, since there are some who are either newly arrived to the community or it's their first time at the Gathering, I'd like everyone to introduce themselves so we might get to know you a bit better."
Spotting Journey of course Erin goes to give him a hug moving away from Stan. Erin smiles up at him then she goes to actually find a spot as she waves "Erin Harrison, Kinfolk to Mother Ananasa and related to the Fae" she then flops down into a seat as she seems to want to just rip the bandaid off.
Lyric peers over at Killigrew as she mentions an injury and then gives Journey a nod. He gravitates in the Elder's general direction, pausing as Bergin starts to speak. He glances around slowly, then once a few people have spoken, he does as well, his voice accented with a Middle Eastern sort of lilt, voice almost as pretty as the man himself. "Lyric. Bastet."
Tabi takes a sip of mead and steps forward. "Tabitha Danes, Tabi to my friends and Jumps-through-Fire to Family. Daughter to Bear, I am a Kovi Kieh born on two-legs." She raises her mead bottle in greeting. "I heal and I cleanse, for those that need my services."
Journey gets hugged by Erin, looking to the center of the gathering as Bergin kicks off, looking around and nodding to Lyric, and, looking back to the gathering, "Journey Farshi, Shaderunner of the Silent Striders. Elder Theurge of Homid birth, Alpha of the Zephyrs Hand pack, mated to Vesta Farshi of the Silent Strider Kinfolk, Father of Stephen Farshi, deednamed Baconcaller."
Gogh looks at people as they introduce themselves, and rubs the back of her neck self consciously. She steps towards the fire with stiff joints, and glances to Erin, to the others who introduce themselves. "Van Go Quickly. Most people call me Gogh" She says. Her voice is rather high, light, keeping with the look of her. The firelight gleams on her cheap white shirt "Here for work. Skulker of Mamma Rat, looking for short and long term contracts among the others" She says, taking a deep breath and shifting back from the fire, eyes bright and hands shaking "If you want to contract with me, let me know. Not money - looking to work for goods, mundane or other."
"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." The kin finds a spot on the west side of the fire and makes sure there's room for her European shadow. Riding a pleasant buzz from the mead, she sets the bottle between her feet to let it settle.
And also, he's been offered Food, whether directly or indirectly, so Lyric looks between Journey and the food and ... bypasses Journey in favor of deliciousness. It's a slow meander in that direction, and when Gogh speaks, he upnods in her direction and reaches for something upon which to start piling food.
Brooke arrives just a bit into this, with a gadget in her hand she seems to be working on. Once she gets closer to them all, she slips it in her pocket and pats it once. She waves a hand, "I am Brooke Spencer, rited Hushed Blaze, Elder Galliard Glass Walker born on two legs, packed with Zephyr's Hand, member of the Random Interrupts, Master of the Howl for the Sept of the Enduring Spirit." Then she smells the food, but waits a bit to see if there is anyone new tonight.
Sten bows his head to Journey in respect then starts his own introduction "I am Sten Blixt, Stormhowler, Alpha of Frostbite under Hildisvini, Adren Skald of the Fenrir, blessed of Nerigal, son of Eric Blixt, Ironheart, son of Johan Blixt, Starsinger, son of Torbjörn Blixt, Redsnow, Son of Olaf Blixt Stormhowler, born to Fimbul Winter sept." nodding to those present with a broad smile "I also invite anyone who wishes to Ravenscar, our lands, our Longhouse, to meet with Frostbite, to learn of our hospitality and if so wish learn from what we learned in our time here in Prospect"
Robert lets Paul do the driving today, as he's busy looking at pictures on his phone. "Well, I'm sure she'll get along fine with the cats, as long as they know that he isn't food..." he's saying as he steps out of the jeep
Dalibor joins in with the chorus of introductions. "Dalibor Gataric, rited as Burns-the-Night, Cliath Modi of Fenrir and son of the mighty Andrej 'Cleaves-the-Sky' Gataric."
Gogh slumps near one of the fires, clasping her hands together frantically, shoulders rounded, and shooting little suspicious looks around before nodding to Lyric as he joins her
Smiling at Tabi, Erin gives her a hug as she comes closer. She looks around as people begin to introduce themselfs and she gives a little wave.
