gwydion* Given the thorough incineration of many buildings in the oil train disaster in Quebec, they have given up hope of finding the rest of the bodies. They are calling the death toll to be 50 people. The company spokesman is blaming the engineers saying they didn't set the brakes properly. People in Quebec are calling for an end to oil trains what with them not wanting to be suddenly incinerated.
* British MP's have given themselves a 11% raise in pay, presumably to rub their 1%er privilege in the noses of all the ordinary public sector employees who have their pay frozen due to illogical austerity measures.
* "Why Queen recognizes a US tribe but US government does not:" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23233104
* The House of Representatives passed a stripped down Farm Bill with EBT/SNAP stripped out as welfare for rich corporations and congressmen is an important emergency, to the point that they larded in more pork than feeding the children and working poor would have cost. After all, who cares how many people who work for a living starve and how many children can't learn because they are hungry as long as the rich get their welfare? Who cares how much it hurts the economy as long as the tax payers continue to subsidize the richest 1%? Who cares how much human suffering it causes as long as the Congress people get their extra hand outs at tax payer expense?
Oh, and they removed the Sunset clause, so all this corporate welfare will become permanent if this is made law.

Kenna the Crow traded rats to an Owl spirit for the gift that lets her speak all languages. Scent (the Wolf) called on the local war leader to get help retaking the Caern. What with the war, he could only lend three packs, but they now have back up for when they fight the Night Court. Of course, they need to hide the Bear and Tiger from them mostly, what with the genocide. The plan is to send the wolves into the Umbra while they fight in the Tellurian. Kenna found out they ought to have bells and cold iron, so she asked around and discovered that a downed Lune was within a reasonable journey, so they flew there. On arrival, they discovered the pack they met in Pangaea was also there for the iron. They agreed to split it and have a fish fry while the Crow did some smithing. Marigold Sharp Tooth and the others hate the Saxon Silver fangs, who invaded their island, and say they'd like to avoid them. As our pack is mostly avoiding them too that suits fine.
So mostly rp and outside of some social wrestling, no actual fighting.
