14 Howls: Freaking out

[coyote_walking]

What the...?

I can't...

What is wrong with me?

I can't smell anything!

And I can't... I can't shift.

I feel like I'm going to lose it.

Lost your powers or something?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't know.

I can't... something's wrong with me.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I think it's a curse. This may be one of those weird random curse weekends. The last one of this I got hit with one that made me lose my powers.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Then I should be okay by tomorrow, right? If it's a curse?

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

I was. All better at midnight. It really sucked to have human senses for the day.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I never realized just how much I was different from a normal human.

I mean, I knew I had enhanced senses, but it's different when you lose them.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

For me it was like suddenly being blind and dear would be for a human. I don't think my boss really liked that for an excuse to miss work but I wasn't coming in.

Mind me asking what you are?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm a walker. I can shift into a coyote.

Except for today, apparently.

[alittlewild.livejournal.com]

In regular human form you have enhanced senses?

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

Oh you poor thing, can't you change anymore?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

No. And this has never happened before. It's got me a little panicky.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it's just a curse.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

It's... frightening.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

If it really worries you that much, I could teach you a spell...

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

A spell?

I'm no witch.

[dresden4hire.livejournal.com]

It's one that anyone can do. But I don't think we have to worry about going that far just yet. I'm sure it's just a curse.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I hope so. I really do.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

It's all right. Probably just a curse today.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm freaking out a little, Kyle.

Maybe more than a little.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

I know. But you've got to remember that it's only temporary.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'm trying.

It's like waking up unable to walk or move.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Try not the give the City new ideas, hm?

Stay in bed today. I'll bring you brunch.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Seriously?

You're such a good friend.

Yeah, maybe if I just climb back into bed and pretend it's all good I'll feel better.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Pretend you have a cold. Then the lack of smell will make more sense, as will staying curled up under the covers.

Does your omelet want green peppers or no?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

A cold it is. Getting undressed right now.

My omelet would love green peppers. And some cheese.
