“Who Dreams the Dreamers” – Fall 1994

This is the introduction “Who Dreams the Dreamers” plot, concerning the legendary pack of Silver Sorrows and Darkness Falling Soul Stealer.

In this log, Sepdet summarizes what she and her friends knew at the time. Sepdet, Eligio, Song Weaver, Therru and one other were dreaming of a pack that had met with a mysterious and tragic fate. Before the end, the living Garou would have to fulfill the mission of the long-dead pack.

This is part of the “Who Dreams the Dreamers” plot. Eligio’s the GM.

A number of Eligio Sacateca’s friends had been dreaming of a long-dead pack slain while trying to defeat and bind a greater bane. Meanwhile, Sepdet’s living packmates — or at least Toxic, the alpha, and best friend Dia — had dreamed that Sepdet would perish in an attack on the caern. This is the epic battle that followed, when Toxic went out in a blaze of glory.

Aliases: Jace = Two-Stripe, Adia=Steelfur, Toxic = Bluefur, Firewyld = Kiana, Cujo = Rik,Celene=Lightfeather (the Corax)

Battle at St. Uriel’s and Aftermath

I don’t remember the details of this story, only that Esteban was a great GM, and the “Puppetmaster” bane and this scene were infamous for years. There was a Call of the Wyld from St. U’s calling for backup/help, and a second group of us ran to the city. Sepdet wound up saving a batch of Garou, then ran back to Renaissance’s apartment to have hysterics.  Includes rare glimpse of Dia.

Visionquest with Peyote

This is a hard-to-read log. You may want to skip it. It’s more preliminaries for the “Who Dreams the Dreamers” plot.

Summary: Eligio Sacateca, Uktena theurge who would become a great friend and mentor to Sepdet, guides her, Dia (her best friend at the time), and another theurge on a mescalito visionquest to try and unravel the riddles being sent to them in dreams. Short version: they don’t get any answers, they just learn a song to help them focus and not be overwhelmed when the visions come to them.

I debated editing out all the poses but the visionquest, but there is some good character stuff, including Stormcrow the Gatekeeper terrorizing a lot of new arrivals — Swipes, Dylan, Therru, Hazmat — and dropping poor Hazmat into the pool.

Metis Tête-à-Tête

Another non-earth-shattering log. I’m posting it mostly because it’s got a lot of Thorn in it.

The Master of Rites and Groundskeeper discuss recent Dancer attacks, Sepdet’s fears for Toxic, and visions by Eligio and Sepdet, the opening chords of the “Who Dreams the Dreamers?” plot.

This isn’t a very interesting log, just some character-building and personal interaction.

Sepdet had just been promoted from assistant to official Groundskeeper, following her return from her Rite of Passage. This was the first time Sepdet found herself having to assert dominance — against Echen, of all people!

Sepdet says she’s thirteen, but her birthday was only two days earlier.

Sepdet’s Rite of Passage: Salmon’s Cub

I lost most of my logs from mid March to August 94 due to a hard drive wipe, and only have a very few sent to me. Here’s the finale of Sepdet’s Rite of Passage.

The RoP was a long quest to Alaska to retrieve some fetishes for Stormcrow the Gatekeeper. Along the way, we wound up at a fomori-run sawmill that was polluting a river, and discovered a dilapidated Totem Lodge in the umbra where a weak old Salmon spirit asked us to save her children. The other cubs were Jess Asks-for-Directions, a Child of Gaia, and Dia  Fire-Drums, a Get of Fenris.  Dia and I were having scheduling conflicts and kept having to puppet each 0ther. The GM is Cindi, a valley groo Silver Fang theurge who was fond of us.

This episode is the reason Sepdet wears a salmon charm and later chose to start a Salmon pack.

May 1994 Moot Log

Horus, first alpha of the Wheel Renewed, departed for Malfeas on February 21st, which was about my first day in the caern. He did not expect to survive, but he was unwilling to let Aspen Demilune, his Warder, be taken by the enemy unsought, unavenged — at the least he would slay her rather than letting her fall to the Wyrm.

He returned during moot in May, quietly and unheralded. Being a cub, I didn’t get to see much, but Anubis’ greeting of his former mentor and teacher is one of the “highlight moments” of my MUSH memories.

Oh, this was also the log of my most embarrassing mav!
