coyote_walking | 20 Howls: Afterwards

Animals running rampant, Mara tried to kill Shalimar, Anthony's in a coma. You know, the usual.

I knew something had happened with Shalimar.

Is Anthony going to be okay?

Are you okay?

The doctors are saying "only time will tell." Doesn't sound too good.

What? Me? Why wouldn't I be?

Damn. I'll pray for him.

Because you've been here in the middle of all this and I know you're friends with them.

And... I worry.

I was off being all crazy wild and lost and you were here dealing with all of this stuff.

Granted, I've never sat vigil over someone who doesn't move, and doesn't wake up, with bleeding in their brain before, but...I'm dealing, yeah?

and you couldn't help it.

Damn...

I know. I was sort of stuck in coyote form. I mean, I'm sure I could have changed if I'd wanted to, but all I cared about... well, you know.

Just wish I could have been there for you.

...thanks, Mercy.

Welcome.

So, how was the run through the forest?

Not really interested in thinking about some of the stuff I ate...

Okay....ew.

No kidding. Usually it doesn't bother me. I'm a coyote then and that's what we do.

But yesterday...

Let's just say I've brushed my teeth like ten times today.

You're so cute.

Oh, that's soooooo not what I'd consider a cute image!

Not the image. Just you.

And now you have me blushing again.

You missed my fabulous self with the addition of a wonderful pair of tits.

...

I just need a moment to process that.

... You were a woman yesterday?

Technically I was a female yesterday. The woman part may or may not be accurate. And more technically, I was Promise. But who is counting technicalities?

Wow. That... that's weird.

I actually kind of liked it a little. Better than a run through the woods.

Yeah. Not my most fun outing.

I put three people in the hospital and someone tried to kill me.

How was the woods?

Oh, Shalimar. I'm sorry. Damn curses.

Not my best experience. When midnight hit I almost shifted back human and came home naked, just to be done with it. If it hadn't been chilly I probably would have.

I'll be fine, just need to heal. She...can't say it isn't messed me up some but I'll move on. Anthony on the other hand, he's in a coma. He's just a kid.

Probably best you didn't, you probably would have gotten a lot of odd offers walking through the City naked.

I'm praying for him.

Yeah. Growing up in a werewolf pack you lose your modesty fast.

But I try not to be naked around people who'll read the wrong thing into it.

They don't want me to blame myself, but I can't help it. I care about him, Anthony is a good kid, he doesn't deserve what this City throws at him.

Really? Because when they change they're naked or something?

How could you not feel guilty? Even if realistically you know it's the curse's fault and not yours, you still must feel terrible. I know I would. You'd never hurt any of them uncursed.

Well, they can change while they're clothed but it will destroy their clothes. Turn an average sized man into a 250+ pound wolf and...

And yeah, changing back you're naked.

Me, a coyote's enough smaller than me that I can change in my clothes if I have to, but I'm still going to be naked when I shift back

Thomas seems to think I should stop acting so self deprecating though. I wouldn't hurt them uncursed but some people don't think that.

That would definitely destroy the clothes. Do they change back in a place where there's clothes available?

Another advantage to you changing into a coyote, you don't destroy near the amount of clothing.

It won't help you or them to keep putting yourself down. The important people know you didn't have control because of a curse.

Back where I grew up they had caches of clothes all over. But yeah, usually you take your clothes off, shift, and when you're ready to change back you go back to where you left your clothes.

We're all pretty good about stripping down fast.

I know...I'll try.

That's a good plan. Unless you forget where you left the clothes.

Good. I'll do anything I can to help.

Well, usually when you change for the moon or a hunt, you have a starting place. Not so hard to remember.

Quite a bit, it seems.

Heard about the Shalimar stuff and the Robin stuff.

You okay?

I told him. I said...I kept saying be careful. That child never listens.

Ianto is beside himself. And Owen is gone, so we can't get him to have a look at Anthony.

Not sure anyone could have predicted this.

Poor Ianto. Anything I can do?

No.

Obviously I'm not going to ask.

Well, I'm here if there's anything I can do.

You can tell me what the point is. This place...it's madness. No order, nothing safe, nothing secure. No law.

What is the point of here?

I don't know, Kyle, I just don't know.

How can anyone claim temporary insanity here, where the insanity is a full-time occurrence? It never stops.

And there's never anything I can do.

I don't know. I wish I could help.

That's got to be terrible for you - the law not being able to do what it should because people often have no control over their actions.

It's like they're laughing at us for even attempting to make a society.

I think they laugh at us a lot.
