Seeing the paper airplane descending in front of him he will catch it just before it reaches the ground and open it and read it.

It reads as follows,

"Mack,

Running late - alternative timeline still being resolved.  Will bring Tartuia and Cody with.

-Lucas"

Mack not really wanting to talk back to a paper airplane will simply fold the paper and place it in his pocket. Out of one of his pockets he will then pull a copy of "The Art of War" and begin reading it. Is there any other Avatar at the Beacon area?

A small indigo ball bounds over a hill in Proper. Nearing the Beacon it stops abruptly and grows outwards, reaching standard redhead height.

The shell turns to an opaque skin with blue lightning dancing and as it fades off into the ether, Arwen Galen steps out.

The Technomage reaches out to touch the Beacon in an almost revered fashion. Realizing there are others here after she mutters a prayer under her breath, she turns to face Mack.

Pulling back her hood, her hazel eyes twinkling, she greets the Lightfoot, "Good day to you sir!"

She extends a hand in greeting and then poses a question to him, "You waiting for the sky to fall too?"

Mack puts his book back in his pocket, then takes her hand and bending down some greets Arwen. "Good Evening Ma'am, I am not sure what to expect. I do know that this thing has messed with a housemate and that is not acceptable. I also gave my word to help and I take that pretty seriously. I believe some others are on their way. I freely admit that I am not sure what to do, but I will try anyway."

Arwen blushes a little at the title Ma'am and smiles, "I will admit that some of this requires some background, I do know that the Chaos Wolf took a Galahad named Tarkin beyond what we here call death to a Final Death that no one returns from."

Sitting down cross-legged motioning the Lightfoot to join her, "Messed with a housemate? Seems this particular disaster of chaos has done more than that…."

Pausing to concentrate a little on a small blade of grass, pushing it down so that it bent the same way as the others, satisfied with it continues, "He has upset a lot of souls' apple carts. Not that I am saying that is a bad thing or a good thing…just a thing, but it seems to me that most here look for something that they can change yet personally they wish to remain status quo so to speak."

She tilts her head abruptly as a thought skitters through her implants and looks at Mack, with an ernest smile, "But I tend to ramble….your thoughts on the matter at hand….?"

Tommy Vercetti eventually catches up with Mack. When he catches up to Mack he says "I got caught up with some business mind if I tag along with ya" Then Tommy turns to Arwen "hey yo hows it goin' doll face" Then Tommy awaits the pain that follows that line

I have heard of Tarkin, he was a good friend of Hyran's. I was looking forward to talking to him. I am sad to hear he is gone.

Sitting down cross-legged motioning the Lightfoot to join her, "Messed with a housemate? Seems this particular disaster of chaos has done more than that…."
Mack will sit down beside her but still seems to hold a military type bearing, even sitting on the grass beside Arwen.
"Yes, he tried to deprive Lightfoot of it's leader, and the Council of it's chair. This alone would cause me to act. The Chaos Wolf problem needs to be tended to, before it takes more of our precious leaders. The first move of all who are trying to conquer is to try to destroy or render useless all who would effectively lead against it.

I simply know that we need to determine who will stand with the Chaos Wolf and who will stand against him. We then need to formulate a plan taking in as much information as we have on it. Once a plan is formed people must take up their roles in the drama to come. Anyone who simply wishes to bicker or delay stands with the chaos wolf in my opinion. That council meeting was a victory for the wolf as far as I am concerned.

Enter Tommy.
"Welcome Tommy, I have a feeling any help we can get will be a plus." Mack holds out his hand to Tommy, because of his height, even sitting he is not much lower than Tommy's height.

In a shimmer of transporter sparkles, Cutthroat appears... upside down. As the sparkles fade away, the little otter falls to the ground, almost (but not quite) as agile as a cat. Grumbling briefly to himself, he looks about, taking in the Avatars in the area, before checking a note card in one paw.

Not finding any of their names on the card, he greets the group in his usual russian accented voice, though he sounds far more cheerful than usual. "Count me in as well. When it comes to fast action, I am there. Whatever we do though, we need to be sneaky. Violence won't work, we'll need to trick it. And since we are Lightfoot, except for you Arwen, we can come up with a sneaky plan. We'll just wait for somebody else to think of one, and then we'll steal it."

Arwen's eyes flared a coppery blood red and slowly faded back to the even hazel shade.
"Tommy, Tommy, Tommy your mother brought you up better than that…"
She shook her head in an almost matronly way….stopped in mid-shake and then smiled… a wicked smile lighting up her face in an almost iniquitous manner.

"You are such a cad, dear soul."

The Chaos Wolf problem needs to be tended to, before it takes more of our precious leaders. The first move of all who are trying to conquer is to try to destroy or render useless all who would effectively lead against it.I simply know that we need to determine who will stand with the Chaos Wolf and who will stand against him.

Turning back to Mack,
"There has always been something that has nipped at our heels from the darkness. This time it is a creation pulled from an otter's mind that has soundly smacked the reality of the Nexus. Crafty, Cutthroat and the whole romp of otters have talked about Chaos Wolves to the point where most thought they were real. Evidently they are in some fashion….however it seems someone might have wished this one into existence on this level of our reality. One wonders whom did this and for what reason?"

In a shimmer of transporter sparkles, Cutthroat appears... upside down. As the sparkles fade away, the little otter falls to the ground, almost (but not quite) as agile as a cat. Grumbling briefly to himself, he looks about, taking in the Avatars in the area, before checking a note card in one paw.

Not finding any of their names on the card, he greets the group in his usual russian accented voice, though he sounds far more cheerful than usual. "Count me in as well.

And since we are Lightfoot, except for you Arwen, we can come up with a sneaky plan. We'll just wait for somebody else to think of one, and then we'll steal it."


Her eyes twinkle with a random hazel and plaid melding into hazel.
"Greeting Cutthroat you are a soul that might be able to help give us more details on these 'Wolves'."

She pauses…..and thinks a unpretentious thought…attempting to wrap her mind around a single thread someone once said while she sat in the diner.

Standing up to stretch out her mind and her body, "I suppose a good place to start might be to find a Delphi and start asking questions. The Oracles seem to have some grasp of the here and now and beyond the garden gate. And I think if we play our cards right we could ask a Delphi without too much hassle….hopefully they are in the same loop we are cuz that would aid in the situation don't you think?"

Her staff tip starts to glow a carnelian glow as her fingertips on her left hand turn a soft indigo blue.

"Anyone else have any suggestions?"

"I believe Lucas, Tartuia, and Cody will be arriving shortly. When they do we should compare notes on what we all know about this particular Chaos Wolf." Mack greets Cutthroat with a nod and offers his hand to the otter next, while still sitting since there is such a disparity in their heights.

Arwen cocks her head to one side and holds her other ear as if she is concentrating on a signal only she can hear.

"Mack I must take my leave for now....I am going to try and consult a housemate...that is if he isn't busy."

"Cutthroat take care of Mack," winking the otter, " I must go talk to a man about a horse." A smile breezed over Arwen's face as the ball of lightning comes up around her sealing her in and then fades off.....leaving the scent of jasmine behind.

Placing a cookie in Mack's extended hand, Cutthroat waves goodbye to Arwen with his unoccupied paw. "We should all go to Cody's House. She told us to meet there after the Gathering. That is probably where the others are. Um, let's not shoot her until after we take care of the Chaos Wolf. I know Bron wants us to, but he didn't say we had to do it right away."

"OK, will you take us there?" Mack says as he eats the proferred cookie.
