The kid started talking, and Stormy listened while Sully went to work getting these two up on their feet.

[quote] [b]"She wanted to know why I went after the [i]'old man'.[/i] I think she was talking about someone I tailed... black, has a suit and cane, white hair, weird accent. [i]Shayton.[/i] Worked with the bikers, then killed that asshole Judas, back at the club. For his [i]bosses.[/i] Same creeps those bikers were working with, maybe, I don't... I thought maybe [i]one[/i]of [i]them[/i] killed Ashley, and your friends too. Shayton said both he and his bosses  had [i]nothing[/i] to do with the murders, said [i]he'd[/i] kill Father Wolf himself. [I]'Bad for business'[/i]. But he got away before I got real answers, back at that [i]stupid[/i] Halloween thing where you were partying."[/b][/quote]

So, he had been taking his own initiative to track down answers, and almost paid a price he couldn’t afford for it. Stormy wanted to say something about how he was just a kid and shouldn’t be going off on his own like that. But he very clearly wasn’t just an [i]ordinary[/i] kid, no more than any of them were back in the old days. [color=00ff98]”Well, you’re alive and in one piece [i]now,”[/i][/color] he noted. [color=00ff98]”That’s the important thing, isn’t it? You might want to keep close to some of us for the time being. Just in case this woman wants to finish the job.”[/color] And if the rest of them weren’t around to act coherently as a group, then Clancy might not hold up against another shot from… Whatever those crystals were. 

Greenwood walked in, at long last. They certainly picked an interesting time to make their appearance. Introductions started off, and everyone quickly forgot about the incident. Which was fine to Stormy. He stayed next to Luca to let the aura of his magic ward off the Rot, smoking like a green chimney. [color=00ff98]”I met a few of you a few nights ago. Glad to meet all of you at last,”[/color] he said to the Greenwood Coven.”

When he heard the name “Rosefey” come up, it reminded Stormy of a certain arrogant prick from the young days of the days of the Sycamore. Stormy looked to the side and saw that the resident edgelord, Jack, was visibly cringing at the memory of that guy.  At least he had the sense not say anything out loud. [i]Yeah, me too.[/i]

[quote] "I know some of you have been very interested in an alliance. Our membership has also been interested in an alliance. I believe we can help each other with our respective issues in St. Portwell."

"Not just the 8th St. Coven, but with this serial killer that's after you. Yes, you might be thinking that the murders have nothing to do with us - they do; Sullivan is a target. Not just that, I'd be lying if I didn't think something bigger was going on that would, inevitably, drag us and the rest of St. Portwell into it. So, we're going to be proactive and see what we can help you guys with on that front."[/quote]

Today was a damn good day, in Stormy’s opinion. This meeting so far was going mostly great, a plan was formed, an alliance was coming to bare. Though, Ruby’s concerns had him wondering [i]what[/i] could be building beneath the surface. The PRA had been ramping up their hold lately, 8th St was clearly working for a higher up, he’d have to look into the Elite. And then there was the matter of the woman who made an attempt on Clancy’s life. There was no question that all roads were going to one place in due time. But [i]where?[/i]

[quote]"Any comments, questions, concerns, fuck you's?"[/quote]

[color=00ff98]”Is there anything we can do to return the favor?”[/color] Stormy asked. [color=00ff98]”You’re going to a lot of trouble by stepping up for us, it’s only fair if we give back.”[/color] Of course, they didn’t really have much in the first place, but that was why Stormy tried not to outright promise something in particular. Rather, he just left the question open for them to fill in themselves.
