1st Howl: Arriving: (Accidental Video)

[coyote_walking]

A woman appeared beside the fountain, kneeling down as if in the process of picking something up.

Medea?

She looked around in some confusion.

What the hell?

Samuel?

Anyone?

She turned in a circle, cautiously scenting the wind.

This is no place I'm familiar with.

Where the hell am I?

Oh really?

Flying pretty common around here then?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

Couldn't say, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

O-kay...

You fly?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

No, but I'm thinking this could be a new City game. Superpower Twenty Questions.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

*laughter* Superpowers?

What are you suggesting, Will?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

Oh come on. Someone has to have told you something about the City by now. Didn't any of it sound out of the ordinary?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Well, I've got this guy named Thomas saying he's not your ordinary guy and asking me odd questions, but... superpowers?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

What do you want to call them?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Are you saying you have them?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

I'm saying a lot of people here are out of the ordinary.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Just got picked up by a friend of mine from back home and that's what he tells me.

So... what's the deal with, say... pecking order for those less ordinary around here?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

As far as I've seen, it depends on who and what you are and who and what you're talking to.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Is there... an Alpha?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

Like with wolves?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

... Yeah.

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

Why wolves in particular?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

This have anything to do with why you were sniffing the air? Sorry. I noticed.

Re: private;

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

... Maybe.

... Yeah.

But I'm not a wolf.

Just... raised by them.

I'm something else entirely.

Re: private;

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

I'm not a wolf, but I turn into one. That help?

Re: private;

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

Should have known I'd run into a werewolf within minutes of getting here.

I'm... have you ever heard of a walker?

Re: private;

[wolfspecialist.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me what it means where you're from?

Re: private;

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's... a lot of Anglos think it's like Skinwalkers. The evil witches the Navajo talk about?

But we're actually indigenous shapeshifters. Heh. I say we, but as far as I know I'm the only one left.

Would it help if I said that soon after I was born my mother came in and found a coyote pup in the crib?

I think you covered the important parts with the first few sentences, and I don't think there's an alpha around here, not the way you seem to mean it. I could be wrong and he or she hasn't caught me running around the woods and tried to beat me up yet.

Re: private;

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Good to know.

I was actually raised in a werewolf pack - my Mom's uncle had her send me there when I was a baby - and they're pretty darn picky about other wolves - or coyotes - showing up and not presenting themselves right away to the alpha.

And don't they just like to try and control every aspect of your life. No offense.
