So, uhm. [clearing his throat. Guess what, he isn't drunk this time! Yeah! So he's just as shy as all hell instead.] There's... been talk about everybody coming clean, right? And - given what happened last month, with our memories and all - there's not really much of a point keeping secret. I think.

[He hopes there isn't a point. Pls.]

So, who... who here is a wolf? I don't mean werewolves - although they're perfectly okay! But I mean generally. Any kind of wolf.

[Insert silence.

Really long, awkward silence.]

... I'm a wolf.

wolf as in literal wolf?
as in the ship turned you human?

[childofthemoon]

Where I'm from, people like me are just called wolves, but I only take that form during three nights a month, so I'm guessing that's not what you mean.

[Ruby purses her lips, then looks friendly.]

Are you a wolf, usually?

[endeavors]

I could - [he can't believe he's saying this] I-I could show you.

[endeavors]

Oh - no, no! I've been able to turn human since I was born. It sort of runs in the family.

[endeavors]

Wouldn't that count as a werewolf? I'm just asking.

[doip]

I can be. I have to be, actually. It's a necessity to switch back to a wolf.

video; also, I apologize in advance

[raisedontolkien]

[Charlie blinks. Then she blinks again. When she speaks, she sounds awfully confused.]

Huh? But. I thought the wolf was supposed to dress up as the grandmother, not a [pause] pseudo-hipster.

never apologize

[endeavors]

Hipster?

[HIS FEELINGS






wait]

Wait, what? Grandmother?

[mindtricks]

Why did you want to learn self-defense?

[ she has been wondering. does it take long to turn is that why? or is it because he was trying to keep it secret? ]

You know, wolf tattoos were always very popular in my shop.

I'd say there's a point. Not everyone wants to spill all of their secrets whether some of them have gotten out or not.

[And Wash here is definitely one of those people who would rather not share secrets. He's still pissed that some of them got around.

The thing about wolves brings him to a screeching halt, however. For a few seconds, he just stares, eyes narrowed slightly. He's heard about the werewolf thing, weird as he still finds it, but just plain wolf?]

...You're a wolf. What is this, the ship can make AIs human, and now animals too?

[endeavors]

[why does he suck at this]

I, erm - I don't know, I can't speak for others, but I've - I've always been able to turn human? It's part of - of our nature. Not every wolf's, j-just a few.

[endeavors]

Aren't they a bit cliché-?

[endeavors]

I guess I - wanted to know how to fight. Normally.

[skindeep]

Nothing's cliché if someone really wants it. But there were a fair number who wanted "lone wolf" tattooed beneath it.

[endeavors]

That never made much sense to me.

[he hates being alone. 8(]

[skindeep]

I think what they were really saying was that they're afraid of getting hurt.

[So does he, Andy. :(]

[endeavors]

Oh. [pause.] Is that what it means?

[curious.]

Did they say why?

[skindeep]

Why else would someone advertise that they don't let anyone get close to them?

Of course, to hear them tell it it was because they 'can't be tamed' or something of the sort.

[endeavors]

'Can't be tamed'. Huh.

[ok silly humans whatever u say]

I like being around people. I liked having a family.

--I mean like. I still like it.

but you're a wolf that turns human
not a human that turns wolf?

[skindeep]

I'm no David Attenborough, but I always thought wolves were social.

So do I. I never struggled with forgiveness until this ship took me away from mine.

[endeavors]

I guess if it really comes down to it, I'm... both? But we - people like me go a little haywire if we don't turn wolf every now and then.

[endeavors]

We are! They are. [uhm. Gosh Andy, stop being awkward already.] You'd have to be pretty bad to end up alone.

[Remus is still tremendously overwhelmed by the fact that there are wolves of any kind here, of the were-variety or not.]

Can you, ah--shift at will, then? I assume you wouldn't be affected by the moon.
