Grip-of-Steel's routines

A couple of days after getting the job as a paperboy and renting an apartment Grip-of-Steel had already formed some kind of routines to get daily things done. He decided it would be important that no two days would be alike.

The only thing that needed to be done at the same time most of the days was the delivery of newspapers early in the morning. Grip-of-Steel doubles the benefit by scouting the area at the same time, using his dual senses to find if there are any spirits to be seen. It only takes two or three hours, leaving him lots of time to other things.

After his First Change Grip-of-Steel has noticed that he can manage with only 5-6 hours of sleep per day. He also embraces his lupine heritage by sleeping when there seems to be a good time for it, changing the time every day. After he wakes up, whether it is day or night, Grip-of-Steel meditates for about 2 hours. He learned this from his mentor The-Falling-of-the-Last-Leaf after his first change. It helps him to maintain his balance and control his rage, making him more efficient and deadly.

Several hours every day are used to patrol the pack's territory. Grip-of-Steel uses his dual senses every now and then, like when working, to search for spirits. Otherwise his methods vary depending of the time of day. In the morning he concentrates on humans, following their doings, to discern the mood of the crowd for that particular day. In the daytime he uses some time to visit library to read newspapers. He may also visit some coffee shop to hear rumors, small events and to get to know local shopkeepers. In the evenings Grip-of-Steel changes coffee shops to pubs, but other details remain the same. At night he uses urhan form to be able to cover more of the physical territory. He makes sure he's not seen and concentrates on sounds and scents, also marking the territory.

When Grip-of-Steel is not doing anything previously mentioned he is probably exercising and honing his body. Running, biking, climbing, push-ups, sit-ups,pull-ups, weight lifting, everything goes and everything is needed to survive.
