Chapter 1 SNAFU - Situation Normal All Fragged Up

He smirks at Greer... He always got off on bossin' round his elders.

"Follow me chummers..."

With that Huginn promptly heads for the door, and as soon as he gets outside, he pulls out a Deepweed blunt he rolled up earlier. He torches the blunt and takes a big puff, quickly saturating the area with the pungent smell of the dried flowers. He took a big deep hit, and the astral realm materialized before his eyes. "Gotta stay safe.." he thought to himself. Intoxicated on deepweed, Huginn could do the one thing any other mage on the block could do - perceive the astral realm. Without it, he would not only be blind to the presence of spirits, but he would have no way to gauge the astral signature left from his use of magic. He took another long pull off the blunt, as he waited for the others to join him.

It's not far to the safehouse, but the way is dangerous - and it's already pretty late....

As the three are making their way down the street a small figure emerges in front of you. She looks to be about 15 or 16 and she is crying. It is cold and dark but this young blond girl is wearing a slim white blouse and blue jeans. She rubs her tears away and walks quickly toward you.

"More friends of yours... ?" Huginn asked, but the tone of his voice registered his doubt. He reaches down for his Katana out of habit, knowing full well he left it hanging on the hook next to his bed. It didn't matter that she was crying... It didn't matter that she was a teenager... Huginn could make himself look that way if he wanted to, so appearances don't mean a thing to him. As he checks her Astral signature out, he notices his own begin to glow, as the mana begins to flow through him...

Huginn casts Mindprobe F:5 on the girl.

"Did you feel that? I think she's using magic!"

The little girl's mind is full of confusing waves of thought. Only one recurrent surface thought bubbles up. So hungry.

The girl stops and looks at you three, then screams "Get the frag outta my head!"

"Whoah baby - try a breath mint or something"

The girl moves like the wind running and jumping at Huggin's face. She attempts to bite his neck.

Huginn is definitely gonna try to get out of the way

Rea+int [phys] == 11d [8]

I'll spend point of edge for a seccond chance, i don't want that nasty thing to touch me.

The girl jumps at Huggin and grabs his shirt collar, she leans in to bite but Huggin uses her momentum to flip her behind him. Amazingly agile she lands on her face still facing Huggin.

With no options other than to slug the freak or run away, Huginn knew what he had to do.
