ғɪᴠᴇ. [ action; Dead District, Sunday evening ]

[secondcomingof]

WHO: Pretty much all of you! Except Kallie. She sucks.
WHAT: Werewolf Hunting the Movie, starring yours truly.
WHERE: All around the Dead District.
WHEN: Forward dated to Sunday evening.

[ The hour is late. The sky is dark and the stars are out, the only guidance they'll have for this mission—and this was a mission, in Casval Mass' mind. One he intended on carrying out and returning successfully from, despite the difficulties involved.

He sends out the mass text to everyone when the hour draws near with the full details of their rallying point, sitting on the same trunk from his previous post on the network. He's dressed the same as always; in full captain's regalia, boots polished to an almost severe shine, coattails flickering in the gentle evening's breeze. The only sign of nervousness lingers in the occasional twitch of his knuckles. Otherwise, he's primed and ready for the challenges ahead, keeping a lookout for his "forces" as they arrive.

He's got no delusions about what's going down here. The borderline murderous intent is clear in his eyes. Let them come, his sharp gaze reads.

Let them come so I can kill them all. ]

(( And here we go! Operation: Werewolf is now go! Tag at will! Team assignments can be checked here while you are waiting. Please make sure to mark this post with your appropriate character tag as well.

EDIT: The mingling threads will proceed for awhile to give people time to tag in. Keep an eye out for special threads to go up. Until then, you're wolf free... for now. Please do not NPC running into the wolves, or the wolves themselves. At this time of estimation, they'll likely start appearing tomorrow evening at the earliest, but watch this space for updates. ))

[That last comment makes Hajime try to suppress a wince. He doesn't quite succeed.]

I've been in fights before, even if I haven't used a gun...I'm not scared or anything.

[So he says. This couldn't possibly be a bit of youthful bravado, oh no.]

[earnedmystripes]

[Yeah, not buying it at all. But at least Kotetsu won't call him on it directly. After all, he's definitely been there, back in his own troubled youth. Kotetsu will never forget the first time he was shoved headfirst into something he wasn't ready for: sixteen years old, a gun shoved in his hands, and gang members around him, pressuring him to pull the damn trigger already. Shaking and crying and the sound of sirens and his brother saving him from having that blood on his hands for the rest of his life.]

Right, right. Good to hear.

[Not really. He's just humoring the kid.]

But, y'know, if you ever are...there's nothing wrong with it. Doesn't make you a coward, or anything.

Being brave's got nothing to do with not being scared and everything to do with not letting that control you.

[He'd be quick to insist that he was very much an adult and not a kid, if he knew what Kotetsu was thinking.

At least it seems as though he's listening. There's a slow nod, as he's taking that in. It's reassuring, even if Hajime doesn't want to let on that he just might have needed reassurance.]

It's not even like we know if anything's going to happen...

[earnedmystripes]

[He offers a small smile.]

Mm, we don't. To be honest, I'm kinda hoping nothing does.

[chalicejoker]

[Hajime considers that.]

I'd still like to know what's going on here, but we might not even be able to figure that out if we actually do see one of these things...

[earnedmystripes]

[A quiet exhale.]

At this point...it's probably too late for what-ifs. We just gotta wait and see what happens, and go from there.

[chalicejoker]

[There's a nod of agreement.]

Yeah. Not like wondering about it is going to make everything stop and explain things for us.
