[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! )

Oh. That is strange.

[But not bad. Just-- strange.]

But you do not want that now.

[freezerburned]

No. [He shakes his head.]

Back home, most of our problems were about us being wolves, you know? Like, hunters and other wolves and whatever. Last time we were here, people kept telling me that nobody cared what we are. And if nobody cares what we can do, then... well, hiding it only means that we can't use our abilities to help people.

[Which Isaac is still not one hundred percent on board with, but he understands the gesture. So.]

Scott's big on helping people. It's kind of his thing.

[smellslikefish]

[She shakes her head slightly, almost dismissively.]

Does he ever find any reward for-- for helping people?

[freezerburned]

I dunno.

[Isaac doesn't really get it himself.]

Moral backpats?

[smellslikefish]

That does not sound worth very much.

[freezerburned]

Yeah. But he's all into it.

[He shrugs.]

Just the kind of person he is.

[smellslikefish]

A kind person.

[It's not quite a compliment, but not quite an insult.]

And you? What kind of person are you? Beyond the kind that helps his friends and wishes the world to know what he is.

[freezerburned]

I really don't.

[He sighs.]

It's Scott's idea. I'm just not gonna let him do this thing alone. [Not again, at any rate.] Other than that, I don't know. I'm just a guy, I guess.

[smellslikefish]

Would you like to meet someday?

[freezerburned]

...sure?

[He grins.]

I'm that interesting?

[smellslikefish]

Yes. I need to meet more people here.

[freezerburned]

Sounds like a plan. Scott and I are running to the rescue mission tomorrow, but maybe after that.

[smellslikefish]

I will come to your . . . place. Your place. Your home, yes?

[freezerburned]

Sure. I've got three roommates, but they shouldn't mind.

[Except, he'll eventually have to take a rain check, because... they're... going to the moon.]
