01, video.

[workout]

[ there's an awkward second of someone fumbling with the device. when scott steps back a second later, the reason's obvious: he's trying to get it to balance on his desk, giving a clear view of both him and isaac standing a few feet off. ]

Hey. My name's Scott. I was here once before, so I guess I don't really have any questions.

[ except for maybe why am i back, but he knows that'd just be wasting time. anyway, they're broadcasting for a reason, and that's not it. ]

I know stuff is really weird here, like angels and superheroes and shapeshifters, so I don't really get the point in— [ keeping secrets? that's pretty broad. he obviously didn't map this speech out, so rather than making more of a mess he just stumbles for the finish line. ] I'm a werewolf. If you have a problem with that, let me know.

[ there's no challenge in his tone. it sounds more like "sorry, but we can probably talk it out". he almost steps forward to end the feed there, catching himself abruptly to add: ]

Isaac too. [ And Isaac offers a casual little wave at that, in the midst of all his eyerolling at Scott's... presentation of sorts. Really, Scott. ]

People are missing and people are hurt, and we want to help, but we can't do anything if we're too busy hiding. [ which is the real point of this, except hold up, one last thing. ] And we know there's a full moon in a few days, but we aren't crazy and we won't hurt anyone.


( ooc: icly the day after the party/kidnappings. all dialogue is scott's because isaac is rude, but replies will come from one or both! )

[ staring so curiously... these guys look like normal boring humans. but then, so does she right now. ]

What's a werewolf?

video

[workout]

[ wow okay, questions he wasn't expecting to be fielding. ]

Um. A person who turns into a wolf? But we don't... actually turn into wolves.

[video, private to scott and isaac]

[werewolfing]

[there's a few long seconds of peter just sort of staring at the camera, his expression somewhere between freaking and incredulous.]

I really hope you know what the fuck you're doing.

[video, private to the three wolf moon pack ]

[workout]

It's okay. We can take care of ourselves, and there are already some people who know. And trust me, there are way weirder things here.

[ he sounds really sure. well, mostly sure. he's kind of still trying to convince himself that this was a good idea. ]

[Video | Werewolves only :| ]

[freezerburned]

[Isaac just shakes his head.]

I really hope Scott knows what he's doing. [Is the gist of it.]

[smellslikefish]

Tell me what a werewolf is.

[A beat. She adds, uncertainly:]

I do not . . . I have no problems with it. But I do not know what you are. I am a kitrite, though.

[freezerburned]

Right. Werewolves.

[He takes a deep breath.]

You know, on full moons, turn into wolf beasts and eviscerate people. [Pause.] ...without the eviscerating. On Scott and my part, anyway.

[workout]

What's a kitrite?

[ he asks before realizing manners probably warrant answering her question first. which dang, that's two for three. ]

People who turn into wolves on the full moon. Or sort of wolves. Wolf... people. [ that seems to somehow be lacking in clarity, so: ] We mostly still look human.

[squirrelyknight]

( It's not like a squirrel will use the network. He barely understands that such a magical communication invention exists; and today he's merely running endurance rounds up and down the fire escapes, scampering across higher windows as he surveys the immediate area.

Only he stops now to knock on a window form which he has heard a most disturbing thing. )

My lords!

( Asks a partially plate armored squirrel holding on to the outer sill of their window. )

Pray tell, did I hear you say beware of wolves?

action; christ

[workout]

Holy—

[ it's not like a squirrel appearing on the windowsill is startling. but then it talks, and then scott nearly falls over in his haste to jump away from the window. which is totally normal and not at all embarrassing for a werewolf with superpowers, thanks.

either way he ends up almost tripping on his desk chair, but he recovers enough to look like he's just idly considering taking a seat. ]

Um.

[ come on, angels and superheroes and who knows what else; he can handle a talking squirrel who happens to be wearing armor. ]

Uh— [ or not. he gives up on that failed attempt, glancing to isaac. he doesn't look freaked out so much as intensely bemused. either way, please help. ]

video ( private to scottledee and isaacdum )

[argentite]

Uh, guys. [ she's not commenting them coming out of the werewolf closet or whathaveyou... much!! but she's got a mostly confused expression on her face. ]

You do know there's other hunters here, right?

video ( private to scott's pack!!! )

[freezerburned]

That's kind of what I said.

[Kind of. But come on, Allison, you know how Scott is, right?

Isaac just sort of sighs.]

video ( private to scottledee and isaacdum ) wow excuse u

[workout]

I think half of them knew what we were last time anyway.

[ it's not like they're super subtle even when they aren't making dating ads about it, here. ]

But this way we can actually help.

hacking! (politely. text and also to scottiecakes and isaacpie)

[bumbles]

It's okay. There are mediators, too.

video

[liprings]

Hey, no shit? Fuckin' sweet, bro! Yours truly just so happens to be a vampire. I'm thinking you grab a couple of buddies, I grab a couple, and we do some West Side Story dance-off bullshit!

video

[freezerburned]

[Vampires. That's a new one.]

I'm thinking we could take you any day of the week. [Casually, but seriously, come at me bro.]

video

[workout]

Only if there's actual dancing.

[ because this is a joke, right. except wait, he's a werewolf and he's in the future, so maybe not. ]

You're seriously a vampire?

video

[hyanaimne]

[finally, a creature she's familiar with. At least, in the sense that she's heard of them]

Why would anyone have a problem if you are not dangerous?

video

[freezerburned]

Stigma, mostly.

[He shrugs.]

Some people are idiots.

not here

[gevurah]

[ but when things aren't hectic she'll be keeping a closer eye on them and ACTUALLY INTERACTING. because a werewolf nearly got her killed once, fun times. ]

not here

[workout]

[ wow don't be that guy!! ]

video;

[collectedloot]

You two would be the first werewolves I'd have ever met.

video;

[workout]

Really? [ wow no pressure, act cool. ] Do they not exist where you're from?

text; private to both boys

[controlledvariable]

let me know if anyone gives you crap about the werewolf thing. i'll help straighten them out.

[That's not actually the main reason she responded, though she does mean it. What's she really here for is to say the next part:]

isaac. sorry about being kinda short with you at the party. [by which she means "sorry about being a bossy jerk"] i'm glad you're okay.

text; same!

[workout]

Thanks.

[ also um not to be rude but. ]

Who are you?

video;

[freewoman]

Is that like a warg? [What are supernatural references?]

video;

[workout]

What's a warg? [ what is epic fantasy literature? ]

voice;

[boughtabookstore]

If you need any help on the full moon, you know how to find me. In the meantime, what are your immediate plans?

voice;

[workout]

Hey. [ HI ROS THANKS ROS. ] I know we aren't the only ones who want to do something, and there was a... power thing we need to figure out.

[ namely losing their abilities at the party. kind of merits not rushing in. ]

But I think we're okay for the full moon.

text;

[falla]

How much control do you have during full moons?

text;

[workout]

Enough. I can use it without losing control of it. What do you know about werewolves?
