[20:13] * @Naze takes her pack and initiate back towards the second 5inch gun mount before moving into the aft superstructure of the ship. She opens a door and they come into a large room with a big round hole in the ceiling open to the sky. Orginally this had been a 5 inch turet on one of the two ships that made up the Chimera, but it seemed that while the mount had been made part of the hull
[20:13] * @Naze in its rebirth, its corresponding turret hadn't. Orginally the Garou had it tarped over, but Naze has pullled it back at some point. On the ground in the room is maybe several hundred cubic feet of top soil.
[20:17] * Tanith eyes Naze a bit. "You weren't kidding about all the money you've been spending off my account."
[20:18] * SNB walks to and kneels down before the soil, touching it with his fingers.
[20:20] * Magdalene looked at the soil that had been put into the previously empty and tarp covered hole. She grinned to Tanith and snickered at his comment before she went to kneel by SNB.
[20:20] * @Naze smiles as she gestures them inside taking off her flipflops outside the room bfore steping inside, enjoying the feeling of soil underfoot. <G> "Its taken a little while but Ive managed to pull all the bags of dirt I got from holbrook through the door and spread it out in here." she pulls a charge card from the inside of her bikini top and hands it back to tanith. <G> "And yes
[20:20] * @Naze I got permission from Strength."
[20:21] * SNB takes a little taste of the soil... a la some trackers that... you kind of hope its only dirt when they do that. He nods at the quality of the soil.
[20:22] * @Naze moves to the center of the room where the dirt is highest under the moon and night sky and bids her pack to stand in a circle with her.
[20:23] * SNB takes of his shoes to cary them as he walks, now barefoot (considering those shoes, the difference is largely ceremonial) over the soil to the place.
[20:24] * Tanith plucks the card out of her fingers and tucks it back among his person. "Mmhmm." He looks to the dirt. "... It is nice soil though.." His own feet are already bare, so he wiggles his toes in the dirt as he takes his place.
[20:24] <Magdalene> "You really do eat just about anything," Maggie teased SNB as he took a bit of a taste of the dirt. She watched him and ended up doing the same, both her sneakers and socks came off and she padded out in to the middle of the dirt circle - a dirtcle, if you will - to join the rest of them.
[20:27] * @Naze gestures to the soil around them <G> I am the Alpha, it is my duty to lay the foundation of this pack. She gestures to Tanith <G> "Do you have the seeds?"
[20:29] * Tanith nods and pulls out a small glass vial from his person, filled with countless tiny little black seeds, offering it to his alpha with a warm smile. "Awakened and ready."
[20:34] * @Naze smiles and nods to Tanith gently pushing his arm so that he offers the seeds to Magdelene <G> "Your packmates, they are here to help support you, and help you with what whatever you might need. We're here to help you grow. We are like a family, there will be trials but hopefully, they will be overcome."
[20:35] * Tanith passes the seeds to Magdelene at his Alpha's nudging, encouraging her to take the entire thing.
[20:36] * Magdalene took the seeds with a smile, taking the entire bag that was offered, cradling the bottom with care so that not a single seed would escape.
[20:37] <SNB> Not just a family, though.  Every living being on Gaia's face is its own purpose.  They are free and encouraged to serve the purpose of their own flourishing.  We serve that and the additional purpose.  Hense we seed.
[20:39] * @Naze kneels down and gestures them all to do the same, taking a few scoops of dirt from the center of the circle, making a spot to plant the seeds with her pack.
[20:41] * Magdalene listened to Naze and her smile turned bright once again as warmth filled her. She'd be there for them, too. She nodded her head in deference to SNB words as well. A good purpose to have! She knelt alongside of Naze.
[20:42] * Tanith lowers to his knees in the soft dirt.
[20:44] <@Naze> This done she gestures to Magdalene, <G> "Magdalene, Light Seeker, plant this symbol of our totem; may it grown and florish like you in our pack. The Hopefully the first of many you will plant along the way with us."
[20:48] * Magdalene smiled and did what she was told do. She took one of those beautiful, tiny black seeds and put it into the ground. With her free hand, which she ran through the soil just to admire the way that it felt - months on a boat made her appreciate moist and fertile earth - she used it to cover the seed.
[20:52] * @Naze smiles and moving to her belt she pulls off a small gourd filled with water and passes it to SNB "The Beta is here to support you as well, both alpha and beta will work together, earth and water, to help you grow strong with us." she nods for SNB to go ahead and water the ground where they planted the tree.
[20:53] * SNB takes the gourd and gently waters the ground, careful to nourish but not drown.
[20:59] * @Naze reaches out and lets some of her gnosis flow into the earth to feed the awakened sycamore-fig and encourage them to sprout, encourging the others to do so too before reaching over to join hands with her packmates.
[21:02] <Magdalene> The gnosis flowed easily from Maggie's hand, directing the vital energy towards soil where the seed was planted. She smiled up at them all once she was finished, joining hands with those around her in similar fashion to Naze. She didn't know if she was supposed to do that, but she wanted to.
[21:02] * Tanith shares his thin gnosis with the little seed then takes the hands of those to his sides.
[21:03] * SNB kneels down to pump a Gnosis point into the seed. "This is going to be a strange place... a place where you might never have found yourself and might be confused that you exist... I've done it, so you can you," he says to the seed.
[21:14] * @Naze closes her eyes a moment, reaching out with her senses enjoying the togetherness here with her pack, while above for a breif moment the stars wheel in the heavens and the firmament seems to reach down from above through the hole in the roof, like somethign heavy placed on a sheet, twisting down for a brief moment between the 4 of them, the night sky resolved into the upper
[21:14] * @Naze torso of a woman, upside down, stars twinkling on her body with Altiar and Vega shine as her eyes, who leans in and kisses Maggie on the forhead, before the weight is seemingly lifted and the sky woman moves back up back into the smoth firmament above without a ripple.
[21:19] * Tanith smiles to Maggy like nothing can make him more happy than seeing her right now.
[21:20] * Magdalene was absolutely stunned by this experience. She only closed her eyes when she felt the kiss to her forehead, the weight from the sky lessening. When she opened them again, everything was back to the it was before.
[21:23] * @Naze giggles <G> "Welcome to the Pack of a Thousand Secrets my friend."
[21:24] * Tanith pushes up to stand first, dusting his hands off. "Well, that's enough of that. I want something sweet."
[21:26] <SNB> Let's get food.
[21:26] <SNB> And, by the way, Maggie.  We never actually count the secrets, that way the actual number is one of the secrets.
[21:26] * SNB smirks as he heads back towards the common area.
[21:28] * Tanith snickers softly at his packmate.
[21:28] * @Naze laughs as she gets up and follows, after putting her gourd back on her belt
[21:30] * Magdalene grinned and followed everyone else out, practically glowing.
