During the big fight in Detroit Ohm made a bet with Lylith that she couldn't toss a vampire and impale it on the light post, she of course did, and Ohm's payment was several racks of meat. We decided we would throw a big barbecue with it instead. Lylith and Lady Abigail attended. Abigail providing a temporary reprise from the fear of the fire so Danno could also celebrate, we invited the whole pack of wolves who brought several kegs with them. It was a grand time, we drank, ate, danced naked around the fire (with a little mind mage coaxing for the timid). Ohm and I blatantly enhanced the barbecue with vulgar magics because we were in the presence of Lylith who can even scare the abyss away.
Lady Abigail told us and Red the story of Lylith and Red saw a peak as to what Abigail truly was.

This was a wonderful night, I haven't felt this carefree in many many years. Throwing around magic without fear of the abyss was very exciting and dancing about the fire, naked, completely free was very liberating. It was very primal, basic, without any complications. I never felt so close to the fallen world as I did this night. I think I saw a glimpse as to what the wolves must feel all the time. Speaking of wolves, this might be a good time to back fill a little. The connection between Kat and I has slowly been getting stranger and it turned a big corner into the strange a few weeks ago.
I forgot exactly what I was doing that night but when I got home Kat soon showed up and started sniffing me and her eyes became quite wide and filled with hunger. Not the I'm going to eat you hunger, but of sexual hunger. She merely said "You smell like wolf" and we had quite a nice night. Later she informed me that I actually had the scent of a wolf, not on me, but emanating from me. I of course couldn't smell anything and I didn't sense anything out of the ordinary with mage sight. She also mentioned earlier at the gym some sleeper had annoyed her and Kat willed her to feel some pain, and she did, the sleeper apparently had a nasty migraine, the same kind I could give people with the mind arcanum. This I found very strange, Kat was apparently showing signs of the awakened and I of the Uratha. We decided this had to have something to do with Lady Abigail's boon she had given me after returning her book I had stolen from Donovan (another long story for later) so we went to see Abigail. She confirmed our suspicions and even Lylith said she smelt wolf when I walked in, at the time I thought she was referring to Kat, now I understand she was referring to me. I was first concerned that this was a full on transformation, as much as I could enjoy being full wolf, I don't think I could bare not being able to continue having relations with Kat, which would be forbidden if I were full wolf. Abigail ensured us this was a hybrid and a result of the connection our souls have.
The strangeness did not stop there though. A few days later I had a dream, a silver haired wolf leading me through the city and to a point where 2 paths led off, she sat as if waiting for me to make a choice. One was dark and shadowy, I felt as though going down that road I would simply be able to disappear. The other was abound with technology and I could feel a connection to every device. I chose the path with technology. When I awoke the next day I sensed something was different, I could feel all the devices in the Faraday cage, that they were some how alive. I picked up a tablet and ran my hands along it, I could feel the spirit within, much like I was able to do with the spirit arcanum for simple devices, but this feeling was much stronger, more natural. As I concentrated on the force inside the device it simply stopped working, much like Kat had done to parts of our security system when she broke in. I quickly scanned myself with the spirit sight and sure enough embedded within my aura was the signs of possessing a gift of Father Wolf. Curiouser and curiouser. When I next saw Kat I quickly scanned her aura and lo and behold she had the slight twinkling of the awakened in hers. Apparently she had a similar experience and she chose the path of the mind. This is both fascinating and frightening. I'm not sure I'm ready for her to be looking deep into my soul, hell I'm not even ready to look in there.
