Event Six.

[awashmods]

If you see this hairy creature Your first choice should always be to run Otherwise you had better hope You have silver bullets in a gun.

he full moon hangs brightly over the Town, hovering so low that it almost feels as though you could reach out and touch it. It should be comforting. But as the howl of wolves fills the air, it's anything but. There are werewolves on the prowl, and their target is very clear -- the Town won't be able to last without your help. Welcome to Awash's sixth event log, everyone! Further information on this event can be found here at the OOC post. You are welcome to start your own posts or logs for this event as well.

I don't think it matters how deep it is.

[Now he's concerned. Denial is the worst kind of thing to have with something like this. If Lupin really was bit, which it sounds like he was, then this behavior was only going to worsen.

It was like vampires, really, but a little less time to let your brain do any work. At the very least, he puts his sword away.]

It's like an infection. It spreads too easily. Has anything else changed?

[heartsteals]

[ he looks slightly puzzled at the question, even though it should be easy to answer. Somewhere inside, Lupin's shouting that, yes, he's had a weird craving for meat, he keeps blacking out and then coming to in front of people's houses or attacking animals, he needs to be locked up somewhere before he hurts someone... but none of that comes out. The greater part of him is really hungry, and knows that if he says that, he's not getting anything. On top of that, the fact that Guren is getting in the way of this is starting to annoy him. ]

Not in particular, no. Just a bit peckish. [ he folds his arms. ] Familiar with these things, are you?

[swordfucker]

[Peckish...............]

With people losing their minds and turning into monsters? Yeah.

[He takes a step towards Lupin, hoping that it will get him to take another back. He doesn't need him near the other chickens, either.]

Let me make it a little more clear. What were you going to do with this chicken?

[heartsteals]

[ as it turns out, Lupin isn't much of a fighter; Guren is an imposing guy, and the pressure does get him to back away another step. Night hasn't quite fallen yet; he's still got enough of a grip on things to not throw himself into attacking people. ]

Nothing! I was just looking at it. You're the one getting so defensive over a piece of poultry.

[swordfucker]

[He'll throw down over a chicken!! Don't test him!! But he'd rather not, since it's Lupin, it's one of them. He's satisfied by the control he has, the step forward and the step back, and eyes him with a frown.]

This chicken is a pet. She's not a piece of anything. Like I said, if you're having weird hunger, go find something from the forest.

[heartsteals]

And get myself killed? You've got to be kidding. I'm the guy who goes around telling everyone to stay out of the woods; I'd make a fool of myself.

[ and that's important, obviously. Either way, his aversion to the forest remains. ]

[swordfucker]

Haha... that's fair.

[Lupin can't fight... Okay, noted. He doesn't want to tell him to go to the forest if he can't, then.]

Why don't I go with you?

[heartsteals]

... Into the woods?

[ Lupin makes a dubious expression. ]

[swordfucker]

Yeah. I've been in there before. And I don't want you by these chickens.

[heartsteals]

No way. I don't want you getting killed in there, either.

[ not that he doesn't think Guren can handle it - he knows he's in charge of the defense force - but he thinks it's asking for trouble. ]

[swordfucker]

I've been in there deep plenty of times. I can take it.

Besides, if you just go in a little ways, it's nothing all that bad. Just a bunch of freaky mutated animals.

[He was literally just discouraging forest strolls earlier this month, but now... this. But it's different when you're talking to a furry,]

[heartsteals]

I'm not eating those.

[ he eats them the rest of the time... but he really doesn't want to go in the forest for some reason, it seems. ]

[swordfucker]

Hey. You don't get to be picky.

[That's spoken with a point from his free hand now, and some deadeye staring.]

[heartsteals]

I'll go to the lake and catch some fish. You're not keeping those as pets, are you?

[ dryly. ]

[swordfucker]

Then why didn't you start at the water, you asshole? This is someone's front yard!

[Don't SASS HIM, he gets ANGRY!!]

[heartsteals]

Oh, shut up already. I didn't come here to get nagged by some two-bit copper.

[ Lupin makes an expression of disgust, stepping back onto the main road at last. ]

[swordfucker]

Yeah, yeah. Get going.

[TWO-BIT COPPER... This is the second time he's been compared to a cop and he doesn't get it, but alright!!! Bye, punk!!]
