Where wolf? Why wolf? How wolf?

WHO: concerned citizens
WHERE: The clinic lobby
WHEN: Day 63, around noonish

[Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, a little red sheep with a tophat has likely waddled up to you with an invitation to come to the clinic for a quasi-urgent meeting to talk about the current werewolf situation. There will be refreshments. Newbies are especially encouraged to attend.]

[If you can’t read, the sheep will probably maaa at you and gesture clinic-wards.]

[mourning_star]

[ coos. and turns into an orb. not bothered by the touch, but using it as an excuse to express himself.

Not like... WANT to let myself go, this body. Just... much to adjust." ]

[electricflock]

Is strange, isn't it? Isn't like being mer for fun or like my shifting. Isn't your body.

[mourning_star]

[ Yes. This... feels things. Different. Loud."

un-orbs long enough to ask.
Like that... being wolf? For you? ]

[electricflock]

Wolf felt differently. Not louder, um... Hunger was loud. Was reactive. Wanted food and fun.

[mourning_star]

[ Definitely... wanted food. As wolf.

more specifically, definitely wanted blood blood blood blood as wolf. ]

[electricflock]

People kept feeding me.

[deer, an ankle, so much jerky...]

Was easy to distract. Was easier when fed.

[mourning_star]

[ Other than... danger, parts... hurt...

DID have some fun? ]

[electricflock]

I liked playing fetch.

[with live sheep]

[mourning_star]

[ ...

Distracted you from... getting help. Didn't I? ]

[electricflock]

[a little too quickly,]

Weren't distraction. I— thought I had more time to get to Daffodil.

[finalbows]

[ coos.
Next time... will be... more goal oriented.

Smash cut forward to night 68, where he will fly to Muffin's room intending to ask about that thing he needed help doing with his body and instead get COMPREHENSIVELY distracted with playing around. ]

[electricflock]

[if only they'd been able to get him a body he could work on his own with oh wait]


..."next time"...

[finalbows]

[ Always... plan for worst! Reap for best! ]

[electricflock]

Best of... both of us being okay.

[finalbows]

[ Yes.
No Muffin, I start... burning things. ]

[electricflock]

[ducks his head guiltily, but he's shyly going pinker too]

If... had not found you okay, think would have been much worse wolf.

[mourning_star]

[ Then... ]

[mourning_star]

[ Guess... everyone should be... telling me... "thank you!"... for being alive~. ]

[electricflock]

Thank you for being alive.
