31st Howl [Audio | Backdated to morning, February 13]

[There's a somewhat frustrated, exhausted, and pained-sounding biology teacher on the network Thursday morning, before school starts.]

I am officially calling in sick until Monday. At least Monday. I went wolf last night. It wasn't the full moon, that's tomorrow night. I don't know what happened. If I ran into you... I am so sorry. I don't know what changed, but something did.

So. I'll be needing my clavigers tonight. It might happen again. If you aren't too busy. Friday is taken care of, but tonight... I don't think I can manage it.

Also, if someone could perhaps send one of the doctors over here... I believe I got shot at some point? Not that I blame whoever did it. But it is a little inconvenient, and my bandaging isn't as good as it could be.

[Apparently he's got a bit of understatement going on there. Inconvenient, indeed. At that point, he signs off, at least until people start contacting him back.]

Yeah, well... don't fuck around with a gunshot wound, okay? Need me to run damage control at the school, or have you got a decent alibi? I can at least bring you any assignments your kids are due to pass in.

[Seriously, getting behind on grading is a bitch. It's best to at least try to keep up with it, werewolf or no.]

There has been quite a bit of gang activity as of late, even if I've actually managed to avoid it entirely. It works as well as anything for an excuse, even if it will surely make half the campus think I have gang connections on top of drug connections, now.

[Said with an attempt at wryness, but it comes out a bit more bitter than actually wry.]

Man, you're setting yourself up to be a real bad boy, Randy.

Well, you'll know where to find me if there's something I can do for you.

Yes, I'm sure to get quite a lot of attention once I get back.

[There's a sigh, there.]

Picking up my grading will be more than enough, though, and I do appreciate the offer. You can even ogle at the gunshot wound, if you're curious about that sort of thing. Though it does seem to be healing up remarkably well....

[He's never been shot before, but he's fairly sure it ought to look worse than this after less than a day, still.]

Well, that's convenient, huh? Gotta look for those silver linings.

I'll swing by later, then. I think I'll pass on playing doctor, though, Randy. Nice of you to ask. [Yep, she's teasing. Just a little. She's relieved he's okay.]

Seeing as I've already had a few people do just that, I suppose that's just as well.

I'll see you later this afternoon, then, Sheila. Just be sure you're here before sundown. I'm fairly sure I'm going to change again tonight, and I'd hate for you to be subjected to hearing that.

I'll try, but I'm not exactly a delicate flower, Lyall.

I can handle it, if it comes to that.

No offense meant. I'd just really rather keep the number of people present when I'm insane, furry, and clawing at the walls to a minimum. It's... well, it's a bit embarrassing, to be honest.

Hah! Okay, I can respect that one. I'll do my best to be there before sundown, Randy. Take care not to get shot again in the meantime, okay?

Thankfully, I don't think getting shot again is very likely. I'd rather it not happen again. Ever.

[Because ow.]

I'll see you later, Sheila. Good luck with your last class.
