our neurotic inside dog got out and is running way too fast around the neighborhood

[crittersheep]

WHO: Rose (+ Lethe, Charon, and Maomao)
WHERE: outer meadow
WHEN: Day 27, night

[Rose has been running around for the past day and a half, prepping everything they'll need for the mist expedition to save Angel Devil from eternal wolfhood. But in the wee hours of the morning, the night before they planned to head out, Shadow Fiend's bell jingles gently. If she weren't still awake, she might have missed it. But she doesn't, and when she follows a hunch and checks on Angel Devil's location, she gets the distinct ping of a flock member in the pasture—before it recedes back into the vague sense of "in the mist."

So screw tomorrow morning. This might be the best chance they have of avoiding an extended mist expedition. And so, a mass cube call goes out, to all of Rose, and Lethe, Charon, and Maomao, too.]

WAKE UP! Um, sorry. Change of plans, we're going after Angel Devil now. I just sensed him at the edge of the mist. He stepped back inside, but he can't have gone far—this might be our best chance. He's not far from where we planned to meet up tomorrow, too. Okay! See you there.

<sub>[ hi azdaja, even if you run, uh

there's a werewolf coming for you while monologuing ceaselessly in people's heads,


Blood... blood, blood, I need blood, just enough-- I've been twisted, after all, haven't I? By this world.. like all of us have. Now... I can't heal myself on my own power, anymore... My victory... It's never been all mine... it's always been that unreachable star, hasn't it, always just past where I can grasp it... Ever the dog, waiting for its day. Well. Even a dog. Bites.

I need-- blood. I need. Help. Help. Yes. A little blood. One more sacrifice. I'll be whole.

You'll do SO nicely. The straggler. Always away from the herd. You set yourself apart. You make yourself... perfect... prey! ]</sub>

[okay she WAS running away, but it's obvious there's no chance in hell she can get away from him when a single stride is like 10x her body length]

[In an instant, he's upon her, jaws open wide—]

[at the last moment, she wheels around and-----]

[wants_the_phd]

[—EXPLODES out of her clothing, her every dimension lengthening, bristling from snout to tailtip with gleaming black and red spines. Where Azdaja once was, there is now a big angry pinecone shucking shreds of fabric like confetti. Muscles ripple under her skin as she twists, dodging around Angel Devil's snapping jaws, and she sinks ten claws built for rending solid stone into the side of his enormous face and neck.]

done

[wants_the_phd]

[—Then sinks her teeth into the side of his neck, just behind the jaw where his mane is thinnest. Grappling him with all six of her clawed limbs now, her every spine erect with fury and panic to make herself her most unbitable shape, she clenches her teeth and injects him with every drop of venom in her body.]
