[ For context an hour or so prior to making this post, Derek gave in let his echoed howl happen, which ended up being a little bit louder than expected. Loud enough to be heard roughly halfway across the city. Give or take a few blocks.

To those further away, it would have sounded like an eerie but passable wolf howl. To those closer to the university grounds, there would have had an added ‘rumbling’ to the sound, lower in pitch and more reminiscent of a growling noise. ]


One of these days I’d like an echo that isn’t traumatic or problematic. No more strange ‘abilities’ that aren’t very useful. No more ‘visions’ of dying or killing someone. Something simple and unimportant for once. Or at least something with instructions.

We can all just agree that the ‘mysterious’ sound was a wild animal, right? And move on without acknowledging it further than that.

I would most certainly enjoy that. The instructions, that is. Or at least some sort of explanation.

Re: [handwritten]

[selfassured]

An explanation would be nice. Doubt anything along those lines will happen any time soon though, it would make things too easy.

[handwritten]

[wastingtime]

Far be it for us to receive such a thing.

[handwritten]

[selfassured]

Something like that.

[And finally, a reason for these werewolves to talk to each other :3 Because Lyall totally heard that. Super-hearing and all, okay okay, and now he is extremely curious.]

I'm sorry, but I don't really believe there are wolves in Locke City who aren't of the network variety, certainly not any that sound like *that*.

Will you answer if I ask what exactly happened?

[ It's been a long time coming. ]

We could pass it off as a mutated creature running around then.

There's nothing really to tell. I had the urge to howl, so I did. And it came out like that.

[Indeed it has. He's only even met one other werewolf so far!]

Ah, well, to someone *else* perhaps, not one of us.

I ought to introduce myself. My name is Randall Lyall, I'm the biology teacher at Locke High, and I seem to have become a werewolf. I have yet to make a sound like that, though, I admit.

[ Slowly they'll eventually all come together. Or run into each other at any rate. ]

Unfortunately. I'll never hear the end of this.

Derek Hale, I teach folklore and mythology at the university. I'm not sure whether to call that comforting or not. It could mean that i'm going to turn into a miscellaneous dog beast, at least a werewolf would have been vaguely familiar territory.

So far the only other werewolf I've met has been fairly different from myself. I believe there are quite a variety of types from whatever worlds these people have come from.

["These people" being the people they're turning into. Lyall still doesn't believe that this "other fellow" is actually him in another life. He's trying very hard not to believe it.]

It may be prudent to keep an eye on yourself at the next full moon, just in case. I and the other become quite dangerous.

[selfassured]

Different types of werewolves? I suppose that's one way to account for inconsistencies.

I've only just started howling, I doubt i'm suddenly going to go on a killing rampage during the next full moon. But sure, i'll keep an eye on it.

So I guess our list was pretty accurate.

Thanks for that, by the way, I'm now plus one pulse. And, well, it's not exactly an instructional manual, but I can offer a book with details on a bunch of different kinds of supernatural creatures. It's mostly in English and everything.

[handwritten]

[selfassured]

Unfortunately. I swear if you start with the dog puns again.

And you're welcome? It wasn't exactly intentional. How many of the canine related entries are in English?

[handwritten]

[detectivetroll]

Hey, it just happened, I'm more respectful than that.

Four of them that I've found so far. Their entries are in English, even if the names are in German.

[handwritten]

[selfassured]

So I have a few days to prepare for them. Good to know.

The names aren't the important part right now, I just need the details. I'll take you up on that offer whenever it's convenient for you.

[handwritten]

[detectivetroll]

The details, I can definitely get you. Work's pretty unpredictable right now, but as long as I don't get an emergency call, I can make time for whenever you're free.

[von_uberwolf]

That noise was you!?

[selfassured]

Yes, that noise was me. Unfortunately.

[von_uberwolf]

Well I don't know what you did, but a dog just called me bitch.

[OOC: Angela just echoed back canine language from that howl. Was there any actual information in that, or was it basically just yelling?]

[selfassured]

I didn't intentionally do anything. And I certainly didn't insult a dog.

[ ooc; It was basically just yelling. A vague sort of 'I'm over here' if anything. ]

[von_uberwolf]

I think it was more bitch in terms of a female dog. I'm just trying to figure out why I can understand dogs.

[grimmopedia]

[Monroe really tried to bite his lip and not give in, but he breaks and howls back. Damn instincts. Now all that's left is to be cranky at the guy that caused this.]

That was you? So this is your fault. What the hell man!

[selfassured]

It's not as though I planned on howling. It just happened.

[ And he's half tempted to howl again now. So that's put him in a good mood. ]

[grimmopedia]

You could have done it into a pillow.

[No more howling. Ever again, Monroe means that man. Together they've probably freaked out all the local dogs.]

[selfassured]

I don't know about you, but I don't leave my apartment carrying a pillow.

[ The local dog population will have to get used to it someday. Why not soon rather than later? No, wait. That's a terrible idea. ]

[grimmopedia]

Well maybe you should. And learn how to keep a leash in it. So the rest of us don't have to deal with this crap.

[Yes that's a very bad idea. Does Derek want every kid's puppy to run a way? What kind of terrible person is he?!?]
