Some time ago, Javed ran into Samantha Evans and told her that people were hoping to reopen the Sept of the Cold Crescent. The Glass Walker kinswoman sort of dropped off the radar for a bit, but she's resurfaced from the social quagmire that is work and raising an infant son and caring for a skittish cat. She found Tamsin here last week and that's when she saw the book lending shelf. Which is also when she realized Javed had said they needed help getting things organized inside the building again. And she thinks of Hosea and the children that he helps care for as they struggle with their growing Rage.
Within days, the linen closets are full of sheet sets that aren't the nicest or the fanciest or the most expensive, but they'll get the job done in those dormitory rooms. There are a few spare pillows and one or two spare blankets now, things that are readily available to guests of the building both permanent and temporary alike.
There is also a small tower of stackable boxes, each with shirts and pants and socks (no underwear, the Garou who stay here are on their own for that), with a note:
Take what you need, return it if you can.
If you wear it, wash it!
There are two small whiteboards that have been affixed to one of the fridges in the kitchen area. One titled in permanent marker:
What We Need
with a narrow one beside it labeled:
Grocery Run Sign-Ups
Samantha Evans' name is at the top of the list, with a few others below it. Hopefully, people will share the responsibility of keeping this fridge stocked with the essentials (and perhaps a few luxuries like ice cream or pudding cups or whatever).
[[Edit: Nobody HAS to sign up for grocery store runs, anyone can assume that they're helping out if they wanna! And the extra clothes are hopefully in the laundry room if there's space!]]
The Sept of the Cold Crescent has been reopened and it's leadership positions have been filled sometime between that fateful moot and the one upcoming. Phoebe, wise wise Phoebe Stavros, the Siren of Persephone, Alpha to Desert Oracle and a Fostern of her tribe and her auspice, should not have such a hard time settling into her position.
But truth is, it's a weird transition to make. She grew up - with so many others of course - in The Sept of Forgotten Questions. She lives closer to there than she does downtown. She was for quite some time only a fringe supporter of the downtown sept. Then, gradually and over time since last summer, things changed, and while things changed the Fostern grew into her position of leadership, and after she stood with her fellows in support of reopening the sept, she decided to challenge for more.
And you know sometimes she still feels a bit weird about it. It was one thing to call together the Theurges to cleanse the area after the event on the top level, but it's another to do it under the mantle of Mistress of Rites. It takes a few warm-up tries, a few times talking to one, two, a very small handful of her auspicemates to gather up the - not courage, but command, and her faith in it. She says the same thing to all the Theurges she speaks to:
"I am the Mistress of Rites for Cold Crescent, but I'm still a Fostern. There are still many rites out there for me to learn. There will surely come a time when someone comes to me and requests something of me that I simply cannot at this time do. When that time comes, I hope that I can rely on you, both to assist where I cannot, and perhaps to teach me those rites that I don't know yet."
