Strider here.

There's trouble in the Dead District -- more than usual. Those who live there are leaving. I can't be sure how much truth there is to this, but they are --

-- they tell me they're afraid of werewolves. I don't recommend believing every rumor we hear simply because some things previously believed to be impossible have happened, but a man came to the clinic today with a bite that he claimed was from a werewolf.

What do the rest of you think of this?

Frankly? They could say that Mars is invading and I'd believe it at this point.

We've dealt with strange animals already. I agree that one impossible thing doesn't lead to another, but I think the possibility that they're onto something with that isn't worth throwing out the window, either.

[And you can bet he's adding this to the list of things he wants to put together what they have on, in friendly newbie guide form.]

Somehow, I believe it. There are worse monsters that could be showing up, I suppose.

Did the bite look particularly unusual?

Is -- is that all that they said?

Orange hat guy, right?

I'd usually think there's just a big dog, but the people there, they'd be used to those, I think. And, you know, all the other shit happening.

Werewolves?! But...they're a fantasy, surely! All of this is strange, yes, but...werewolves?

I think it might be time to change 'impossible' to 'improbable'.

[Lyall gets the message on his computer, of course, like he gets most of the messages, even if he doesn't respond. He even opens up Word to reply back.

Except then he says the word "werewolves". And for a moment, there's no more computer. There's no more hands. All Lyall is seeing, for that one moment, is forest and fur and his own front paws. Except he doesn't have paws, so that should be all wrong, and it really isn't. It feels more real than sitting with his fingers over the keys. There's running, and howling, and hunting-- and familiar scents that say "friends" and "family" and "leader"-- and it only lasts for a few seconds, but it's more than enough to throw him off.

The reply that comes a good five minutes later is brief.]

Did anyone describe them? Or say where exactly they were?

Some other sort of possession...?

Assuming there's any truth to these claims at all, it at least tells us that the creatures aren't bound by the lunar cycle.

Of course, whether or not this fact is useful remains to be seen.

[dorkytracksuit]

Stranger things have happened at this point. Something like werewolves isn't outside the realm of possibility, unfortunately.

...I think it's time to do some hunting.

[ yeah I sure am creative with this tag totally not just repeating myself nope ]
