In the pile, there was no sense of judgement. No awkwardness. No questions to ask among pack and pride when her bruises were showing across the expanse of her alabaster cheek. One eye was swollen, the other a bit less damaged, though the cornea stung as remnants of sand were feverishly blinked away. Injured grey hues gleamed dimly beneath the light leaking through the half cracked balcony window. The cling of cold was bitter, pouring through from the winter's washed streets like some sort of curse hoping to claim Cheswick's attention through her fatigued haze. It wouldn't, or perhaps couldn't, as she needn't acknowledge what was already known. The cold could be biting, and encompassing, and cruel- but the body among the tattered bedding was far more tempting to linger over. Predatory in her assessment, the creature stripped aged layers of winter wear off, casting them away as her gaunt physique craned over Braelin's fetal position beneath an indistinguishable pelt.
"Do you sleep?"
"No," Braelin began softly, his body remaining where it was, free of movement for the time being. "But I could try."
"Hm." Turning away again to kick free holey socked feet from weather combat boots, the Garou tucked them below the untouched bed hogging the other side of their room before slinking back to the pile. It consisted of torn linens; of ripped sheets and bedding, of furs and scraps and stray feathers. A hodge podge no Wendigo could live without, though hers was relatively groomed. No awkward bones were lodged in the gnarled driftwood frame, nor has there ever been enough blood spilled in the pile to stain the current decor. In many ways, this was her last real escape from the outside world, and in such, she took great pride in preserving the location for herself, and for her companion. They were not lovers, but were there a term more intimate than 'friend', the pair would likely fit the criteria. Cheswick didn't even think of her scarred body when she was nude, instead drawing a small circle through the air between herself and where the Golem lay.
"It's been many moons." Her other hand rose to rake roughly through her length of silver locks, nails pressed to her scalp as though an itch was being tended to. "Too many." Her frame was too thin, her skin taut across her broad rib cage so most of the ribs could be counted in their not-so-neat row. Bones had been broken in the past, dislodged and dislocated. Some were cracked and other were entirely shattered. Cheswick healed like many of her kind did, and though it was a process akin to human restoration, the time frame was greatly shortened. In days, she could be back to her old way, roving the unbeaten paths while searching for something that always seemed just out of her reach. Sometimes she would forget to eat in her travels, though often, she simply refused to do so. There were better things to accomplish; more to pursue with that unquenchable thirst for knowledge providing enough leverage to keep her going. A woman with many flaws, her curiosity was one of the most demanding. It took her from the safety of the pile for weeks and weeks, and just when the creature dragged her sore limbs back from the journey, something else would arise to the challenge of capturing her interests.
Nothing about Cheswick's routine was fair to Braelin. He knew this, and she knew this, though neither had the heart to speak of such things until the flames were fanned. It wasn't in either of their nature's to cause problems for one another.

Qan’gaax - Title for thread
-------------------------
Her visitor had vocalized such a unique scream, Angeveve found herself listening intently as though such wailing despair deserved nothing less than her utmost attention. A fine shriek with pitch she might describe as decadent were it not to end in mewling sobs. Wracking and weak, these pathetic chords stifled the overall composition of his pain, and within an inch of his life, Veve brought upon lashing and blunt force blows until he sang so mellifluous and clear that she knew no other sound. It was in his death that she found absolution; perhaps even closure regarding what heights her brutality reached.
Recollections such as these made time pass quickly. Meager attempts to alleviate her boredom.
In present company, these were idle thoughts of a day dreaming girl. Hardly fit for the boardroom congested with stratagems and financial bickering. Blinking to open her unappreciative eyelids, Angeveve's attention moved over those in present company. Circulating from the older shareholders to their younger counterparts, one point seemed as easy to get across as the chime of a bell on a quiet evening. Not a soul in sight was deprived of material wealth. Here sat the finest breed Metropolis was fortunate lucky enough to host, in their Giovinnici and Graucivino. Hand tailored suits, ties spun by hand, shoes polished to immaculate perfection. There was enough burdensome argot in their boardroom alone that Angeveve was certain they could fund augments for a family of four through thread count alone.
"-But managing the system authorizations for the department isn't guesswork, and there's clearly been a breach."
So the big wigs told themselves, though the more likely culprit was a Vesper employee lower on the totem pole than their collective, hooking for additional credits from outside sources. Angeveve kept her comments to herself as discussion moved to possible outcomes and how IT could handle further intrusions. Data jackers were a dime a dozen, or so they said. Always with what 'they said', because Vesper didn't know. As their elders sat portly and confused, piecing together what bright and youthful associates were trying to acknowledge, that much was obvious. Most of the Vesper figureheads knew little of the technology to their business, or the practices which maintained said business. All they knew was how to count their share of the money, and more noticeably, how to spend it frivolously.
On suits that didn't fit their stout figures properly. On shoes specially made to fit thick, gluttonous hooves. On their trophy wives who fucked their sponsored athletes. The list was retentive, but Angeveve had time to mentally recount several key expenses.

Ziggy held the note in hand, a splash of contempt playing her features. "It's a ransom note?!"
Errol had chores to cover (despite the nature of the building and its inherent capability to clean itself), so she washed dishes while musing, "What does that even mean? Like, okay- I get the idea of ransom, sure. I just don't get why anyone would steal your lucky zippo. Like, no offense, but it looked like any other generic zippo, yeah? Why go to the trouble of ransoming it? Most people'd just get a new zippo."
Shaking her bubblegum locks animatedly, Ziggy drew her index finger through the air in accusation while her other hand crumpled the letter. "It was special! It was one ov a fuckin' kind, genuine article! I've had that goddamn lighter for close to-" She paused, fingers wiggling at her side, "Goin' on thirty years! I stole it from Elvis himself, Er! It's a priceless heirloom!"
Errol made a face and paused her dishwashing to look at her friend. "Pretty sure Elvis has been dead longer than thirty years-"
"-That's what they fuckin' want you to think, alright? Look, take it with a grain ov salt if ya want, but you're talkin' to a professional necromancer, yeah? I'm the expert, you're a media digesting sheep." At all of 5' tall, Ziggy stuck out like a sore thumb. Dressed in a stark white tuxedo with matching black and white wingtips, her spill of messy pink curls was cut short so they fit comfortably beneath her white fedora. No one really knew how old Ziggy was, but if her looks were the only indication to go off of, she couldn't have been older than 21. Baby faced and blue-eyed, her tiny exterior was just as misleading as her accent was. Boston? New York? East end? Westside?
"Well, fuck. I'm not sure what to tell you. Like, uh... You could chase whoever took it?" Despite offering options, Errol was grinning like a lunatic, truly unable to squash how silly she found this situation to be. A missing zippo, a ransom note, and now-
"It was a fuckin' Leprechaun, Er. I know those two-timing sonsovbitches well enough to know I got punked for Patty's day." Like a ball of anger and energy, Ziggy shook while reddening, her lividity as impossible as the situation. "But I'm gonna show 'em this time, Er- Gonna fuckin' show 'em who fuckin' rules downtown!"
