voice testing this sulky jerk

[smilederek]

Just so we're entirely clear on this: You do not need an icon of me rolling around on the floor shirtless, and no I do not do it all the time.

And just for the record? There is a difference between undergoing involuntary bodily spasms due to being electrocuted and "rolling around".

Out of interest, have you ever been shot with a wolfsbane bullet? Or seen what it does to one of our kind?

[He'll circle around, keeping his eyes on her as she paces. Not growling at her yet, but poised.]

Yes. There's a family of them in permanent residence in the town I live in, and enough nearby that they can be called in over the course of a few hours.

[lupa]

Nah. Different set-up with hunters, too. Back at home they call themselves doctors and it's not a family occupation. I took a silver bullet to the shoulder, though. Once.

[smilederek]

How do they operate where you're from?

And how did you find the silver? [Asking because he's wondering if her biology is different from his. Werewolf is curious george.]

[lupa]

Professionally.

It was stuck in my shoulder, wasn't hard to find. [...:D ]

[smilederek]

Right. And now that you've proven how clever you are, would you like to give me any actual information in response to those questions, or should I not have bothered?

[Suuuuuuuuuuulk.]

[lupa]

Aw, take a nap.

You really want to know?

[smilederek]

I asked.

[No nap can cure his constant woe.]

[lupa]

It hurt like a bitch. And I would know. Stopped me transforming- silver does that- but I was already in my real shape. 

Friend had to cut it out of me with a silver knife she found on one of their bodies.

[smilederek]

Interesting.

For us, pain like that keeps us in human form. The rest sounds about right though. Our bodies don't heal as quickly from silver as they do from other things.

Wolfsbane is one step up from that. A shot in the arm'll poison you, if you can't get an antidote, you're be dead in a couple of days.

Also they have government backing in several countries, which never fails to creep me out. It's like all internet conspiracy theorists were right. What if there are reptilians?

[lupa]

Oh, yeah. Chem trails, too.

Internet conspiracy theorists never figured out us, though, before uh- everything. Did they?

--man, the apocalypse must have pissed off a load of otherkin. Surprise, you're not a werewolf.

[rainfading]

There were rumors. Are rumors.

You're both gonna hate this, but my friend Jo swears she knows a werewolf girl who ran a really profitable camgirl site for otherkin, back in 2009ish. They all thought it was just really good prosthetic.

[lupa]

Aw, shit, what? That's- I have very mixed feelings on that. I could have been rich by now.

Christ, though- people's impractical fetishes.

[rainfading]

Right? I try not to judge.

But I'm judging.
