When Garou start talking about the pit beneath Cold Crescent, well then it's time for a Theurge to step forward.
In this case, the one who steps forward to take the bone is Siren of Persephone. She weaves through the crowd of Garou on four paws, a slim black shadow of a wolf that is all long limbs with a long, narrow face. At the edge of the gathering she melts into a form better suited toward eloquent speech. Not that Phoebe's known for such, but it'll be easier to get across finer details. In her Homid form the Black Fury is tall, her slenderness obscured by the bulkiness of winter clothing.
She holds out her hands to Final Word, and when she has the cracked bone in hand she turns to address her fellows.
"This is what my sisters and I have learned about the pit from our Elders. The pit beneath Cold Crescent," she does not say Broadway or the city building, but addresses it by its proper sept name, " doesn't appear to have been brought into being by the Beloved Horror or any other of our enemies, at least not in known history. Not even our Athros have been able to name or categorize it, but it's old. Maybe as old as Forgotten Questions, maybe older. My point is, it's been around for ages, and is likely a natural phenomenon, albeit an unusual and rare one.
"Every attempt by our Adrens and Elders to cover or close the hole has been unsuccessful. The creatures inside are monsters that don't respond to any language we know. I've heard the language it does respond to," she says, dark eyes solemn, distant. "I hope I never hear it again.
"Unfortunately, there are those who do know how to call out the monsters. And since it can't be closed and the only way to cover it has been to build a building over it, all we can do is watch over it, and keep out the riffraff." She looks out, tries to find Javed even though meeting his eye is impossible. She looks for Erich. And then she looks for the Elders of Forgotten Questions.
"Surely our watch will be made easier if the sept is re-opened and its defenses reestablished. If your concern is with our safety from the pit, the monsters only come out when they're called."
Turning, she returns the bone to the Truthcatcher and shifts back into lupus as she returns to her pack.
