Your work there isn't done, so you text Elton in the morning. He tells you to bring dinner, so you log in a boring day sorting and organizing Epicycle's hex wrenches (a task neglected for over a decade), cajole Udolpho into ordering a whole large pizza that he quickly forgets about, and arrive at the bookstore where Elton works at the end of his shift. Everyone clears out the moment you walk inside. Ah, right, the Rage. Elton glares at you from over a copy of The Library of the Lost, then orders you to stand outside, across the street. You do so, and sidewalk strollers deflect away from you like you're magnetized. Regular people are weird. You don't even want to kill anyone that badly at the moment.
Finally Elton invites you back in; you both have to work together to fight the bookstore cats, Clorinda and Tisbe, who desperately want to eat all the pepperoni off the pizza.
The bus stops outside just as the two of you finish eating dinner; you race outside into the cold late winter air.
"So what are we looking for at the site?"
"Is the water still corrupted? How are we going to start healing it?"
"I wish we could do this when it was a little warmer."
"Any word from that Glass Walker about us fulfilling our sacred duty as Garou? I'm not sitting around waiting for an elder's decision."
