on upcoming poly_chromatic plans

[affectioning]

You don't think I'm biting off more than I can chew? [ A glare. Please don't laugh. He's heard them all. Call him Rover. Really. ] I haven't been here a week and I'm already researching what we need for the new clinic? I just got here. It hasn't even sunk in yet. Stiles is still recovering. Is now really the time to try and head an animal clinic?

Do you think I can actually do it? If you haven't noticed, I never went to veterinary school. Because I'm seventeen.

It's not that I don't want to help. I just don't want to do more harm than good. I want to help.

If you're going to go through with this, then make sure I do my research. If I'm doing this, I'm doing it right.

At least it'll distract me from never seeing my mom again. Or Allison. Or, seeing how everything has gone to crap.

On second thought, can you just send me back. My friends need me and I don't know if I buy this "time stopping" thing.

[garou]

You're good at that. Helping.

[affectioning]

I try to be. I'm not always.

[ He couldn't help Boyd. Or, the Sheriff. Or, any of the darach's victims. He tried. That's all he feels like he does. He tries. He learns. He betters himself. But, to what end. ]

They don't have anything there like that. Just an animal shelter.

[garou]

It's still something. That's what you did before, right? With Deaton?

[affectioning]

Yeah. And I've been there alone before. But, I've never put one together. I'm trying to make a list of everything I need and I can't remember everything. Things are slipping away. Things I knew like the back of my hand. [ Where everything goes. Where everything is. But, this is Scott and Derek is here so he's switching modes. He's on the edge - canon mixing in with his worrying about this clinic - so he's switching gears. ] Cora's going to be okay.

[garou]

[ Derek opens his mouth and then closes it again, nodding. ] Thank you.

[affectioning]

And so will the sheriff.

[garou]

[ He swallows at that. ] Yeah.

[affectioning]

If I could, I'd get you and Stiles out of the city. I get everyone out.

[studmuffin]

I'm totally done recovering. [ In case you were, y'know, insulting his manly virtue. ]

And dude, you don't actually have to do anything you don't want to, right? Because like, a handful of people have pets sure. But some people even have dragons so maybe you shouldn't. Could you even wolf-out a dragon into being y'know, calm.

[affectioning]

... Dragons? There are dragons?

[studmuffin]

The Mundane's girl - she had a dragon with Mae. They were totally adopting it. Not sure what happened to it though.

[affectioning]

Did it set anything on fire? You'd probably know if that'd happened...

[studmuffin]

Nah, they put it in the bath.

[affectioning]

Maybe I could wolf out a dragon. Should I ask Derek?

[studmuffin]

Can I be there when you do?

[ 8DDDDDDD ]

[affectioning]

Aren't dragons dangerous?

[garou]

...That is a terrible idea, on multiple levels. [ Not the Derek in question, but man. ]

[affectioning]

We can calm wild animals down. With our howl. You don't think the same could be said for dragons? I'd be careful...

/threadjacks for justice

[studmuffin]

Or the best idea.

[leigheasoir]

You might not have gone to veterinary school, Scott, but you're certainly a fast learner. I believe once you find the resources you need to further your understanding, you'll have no problems settling up a clinic on your own.

And you'll be far more help than you give yourself credit for.

[affectioning]

[ DEATON. He JUST saved you. From when he came into the City. Good to know you're still all right. ]

Thanks. That really means a lot. [ If Deaton thinks he can do it! ] I did a lot of research. Made a list. We need to remodel. But, everywhere should have an animal clinic.

[leigheasoir]

[ Quite all right, and with great thanks to you, Scott. ]

Indeed, considering even the most barren place will reveal that it contains animals in need of assistance. [ A smile, bordering on proud. ] You're the right man for the job.

[affectioning]

[ He misses you, buddy! ]

Even though I'm only seventeen?

[leigheasoir]

[ He misses you too. ]

Even though you're only seventeen.

[affectioning]

I'm glad I'm making you proud.

[ And next time you get kidnapped, Scott is taking a human with him. ]

Hey, thanks for hiring me. [ Originally. ] I really like it. [ And he gets to help animals. ]
