Black Steel, Hourly Chaos

Fresh off of the Black Mass, and taking to heart the encouragement from Cardinal Rishi & Bishop Middlewaithe on the role of priest, Legate Seth Cardigan calls a pack meeting for Alastair's Blooding. The Lucid Legate sets up a Test of Pain for the rite, though without a Blood Feast as he'd intended. Alastair puts up a good attempt, but loses against the Legate with his hand in addition. Ductus KK is next, and frenzies upon losing to Alastair (along with her hand). Winston, still blind, tries to overcompensate and ends up frenzying twice. After KK returns from her frenzy, the Blooding is done and Vaulderie cements Alastair's pack membership. Pack meeting then occurs to discuss how to handle the Mortal Problem. Seth also chastises KK and Winston for their behavior at the Black Mass.
