[Hello! It's been awhile since he's done one of these, but in the spirit of a new year, and the love of everything he's had to drink, Cailan thinks this is a great time to show everyone something he's been working on for awhile. Hence why he has the biggest, brightest smile on his face.]
Back in Ferelden, there are some celebrations to bring in the new year. But not as many as you would think! None to the extent of the celebrations here, in this place. I found, while being dragged on an excursion to many different bars, that there are many who do not watch out for the perils of such a place. [And he really does not want anyone to get hurt, here.]
And truly, there are some terrible things in this world that, if you are not vigilante, will harm you, or your loved ones, in many ways. As we all know, most of the people here are not from the same world. And even if they are, they could be of a different race entirely. As king of my homeland, I feel it is my duty to ensure, not just the safety of my subjects, but those who may not be able to protect themselves. The best way to do this is to impart knowledge. Knowledge, my friends, is the first step in protecting yourself! And so, to start off the new year, I will be sharing what I know to everyone about...
Werewolves. [He is deadly serious.]
There is some basic information that everyone should know about werewolves:
~ Werewolves, also known as lycanthropes, are not a myth. They are real, as real as you and me.
~ They only change under a full moon, so you are safe except on a full moon!
~ Once they are a wolf, they are uncontrollable. They cannot be reasoned with, argued with; they will behave like a wolf.
~ To become a werewolf, you need to be bitten by one. Or be possessed by a demon. Maybe both at the same time.
~ Some werewolves say they can change at will. I don't believe this, but many do!
~ Werewolves don't have tails. I've never seen a werewolf up close, but this I have learned from others.
~ They do not have opposable thumbs! This means they cannot wield weapons, and they do not wear armor.
~ Werewolves travel in packs. It's best if you stay clear of the leader.
But, Cailan Theirin, king of Ferelden, how can you tell if someone is a werewolf or not? Your first conversation with a werewolf should be as thus:
"Hello, I am Cailan Theirin, king of Ferelden, and we will be living together in this set of small rooms."
"Hello, I am your roommate and I have a terrible secret!"
"Yes, what is this secret? Perhaps you are a werewolf?"
However, if you choose for that to not be your first conversation, here are some simple ways to tell if you are in close contact with a werewolf in human form:
~ Check under their tongue for bristles! If they will not show their tongue willingly, you should attempt to check while they are asleep.
~ If you cut a human that is also a werewolf, there will be fur under the cut. Make sure it is not from their shirt.
~ Do you often hear howling from your neighbor's home during a full moon? This could be a sign of lycanthropy.
~ Is the person abnormally hairy? If so, they may just need to keep their hair trimmed. Or they could be a werewolf.
*Does not include my good friend, who does not need to worry about this sort of thing.
~ Does this person own any large pets that occasionally disappear? Are they then replaced by other large pets? Werewolves enjoy eating large things, animals in particular.
~ Some believe that to tell if a person is a werewolf, they will need to check their urine. Purple means that there could be a possible problem.
Once you have identified that a person is a werewolf, it is now the time to take action! Guard yourself and your loved ones from the terrible hurt a werewolf can cause! There are many ways:
~ Werewolves are weak to silver. In this world, there are such things called "silver bullets", but in Ferelden, we make due with swords inlaid with silver.
~ Cutting off the head of a werewolf is the only way to kill it. It can then be stuffed and hung as a trophy in your castle!
~ There is a plant known as "Wolfsbane" that will keep a werewolf at bay. Many theories abound, but if you make small bouquets of it and hang them around your house, I'm sure that will work.
~ There is no way to save someone who has been bitten. All you can do is hope for the best.
*I have now been informed that you could try to kill the wolf that bit you, but it seems to be what they call a "mixed bag" of results.
From what I have read, lycanthropy is a true issue, across many different worlds. I can only hope and pray to Andraste that this will help someone out there. I, King Cailan Theirin, will try to stay abreast on the other races of people in this world, so that I may give the gift of knowledge once again to the good people on this "network".
[You're welcome, everyone.]

He looks up and nods vigorously.] Yes, if that was the case, we would all be locked away for good! I don't truly understand why someone would wish to hunt a werewolf down. Perhaps if they attacked, but that wouldn't quite be hunting them down...
[He straightens up.] If they don't turn into wolves, how are they a werewolf? Even as people, they are able to see better and smell better? Wouldn't that be a problem, having to go through life with those abilities? Perhaps they get tired of it? Do you have werewolves in your world, that you know about these things?
[He perks up.] Have you met a werewolf? Is that how you know these things? How do you help them, is it helping them to control it, or is it helping them to not attack someone while they're a wolf?
no subject
( She leans forward, amused. Wow... this guy is totally taking notes! )
There are people with all sorts of weird jobs and prejudices out there.
( With a small visible shrug of her shoulders as she settles back again. )
If you get a few wolf-like traits, sounds good enough to me. I don't think it's always so literal! As for on my world? Not that I know of, but there are some crazy things, so it's not impossible.
( Improbable, but not impossible. As to the last... she smiles. )
One of the best guys I knew around here is one, really. So are several of his friends. They're good people -- and back home right now, which is pretty good too. I mean, who doesn't want to be back home?
no subject
There are many. I try not to judge as well. Terrible things are done during both times of war and times of peace, and my ancestors have done things that I was still trying to fix, back home.
[Surprise!] They were here? There was a group of werewolves here, and I missed meeting them? [A little sad.] It must be good, for them to be home. I may be one of the few that doesn't wish to be there!
no subject
One of the few not wanting to be back home, or what?
no subject
[He nods.] Yes. I have no wish to go back home. There is nothing there for me to go back to!
no subject
Ah, I see. Imprisoned, defeated, or dead?
no subject
I am dead, or so I've been told! I don't know for sure, but they would not lie to their liege.
no subject
... Are there werewolves where you're from, mister?
no subject
[A nod.] There are. I've never met one personally, but a friend, she's met them before. I would love to meet one, whether they be from my world or another. [He smiles.] And please, call me Cailan.

( Stop, that's nonsense kid, just leave the poor man be!!! )
Who's the most interesting person you've met here so far?
no subject
The most interesting person? That would be my roommate, Kotetsu! He fights crime while wearing a mask and in costume!
no subject
You know who I think is even more interesting than Kotetsu? Kotetsu and Barnaby together! They're partners, you know! Tiger and Bunny.
no subject
Yes, they are! They are partners in fighting crime. That is such an interesting job, is it not? To dress up and fight crime, the way they do?
no subject
Wait, you only learned he was your brother recently? Isn't that cool! ... Is it cool?
no subject
It's... complicated. Very complicated.
