Danger Room - Hey there Little Red Riding Hood

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 3:48 pm

Steph rubbed her temples, growling in frustration.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 3:57 pm

"...I'll go talk to her," Brigid sighs, getting up and heading after Jen.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:21 pm

Jennifer didn't go particularly far. You could still faintly see the campfire between the trees. Not that she was looking at that or anything. She was sitting here with her back against a tree, perfectly content to be by herself. Yep. Stupid Vertie and her stupid brain-vibes.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:32 pm

"Hey," Brigid waves, making her way over.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:36 pm

"Hey. What is going on back there?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:39 pm

"I've got no damn clue, but I don't need that stress."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:45 pm

"Seriously." she stuffs a handful of nuggets into her mouth before offering the remaining ones to Brigid. They're mostly milkshake free. "Mnuhmmets?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:51 pm

"Thanks," Brigid says, scooping them up and sitting down nearby.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 4:55 pm

"What's it like?" she asks after swallowing down the mouthful of almost-meat. "Turning or shifting or whatever."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:06 pm

"It kind of starts out like... I don't know, PMS on steroids. I was really moody the day before my first change."

"The change hurts, but after it smooths out it's pretty awesome. Liberating, you know?"

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:28 pm

"Right..." she says, not really sure how to take this. "Can you make it happen on purpose? Just... to get it over with?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:34 pm

"I don't even know. The only time I changed without the moon was when you poked at my head, and that was... pretty crazy. It took me awhile to manage to change back."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:35 pm

"Murphy's able to. I can try to help if you want to try." Steph said walking up to the girls, burger in hand.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:44 pm

"What do I do?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:45 pm

Trying to at least be a good example if nothing else, Murphy demonstrates by quickly shifting into a wolf.

A wolf with an eyepatch.

Adorbs.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:46 pm

"Murphy makes it look too easy. That didn't even look like it hurt."

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 5:51 pm

"You eventually sort of get used to the pain. Do something enough and it helps...mentally I suppose."

Steph looked at Jenn. "So...this sounds silly every time I say it, but it's true. Just...think back to when you were a kid playing make believe. Picture that you're a wolf. Growl. Bare your teeth. If you're able to and you're really focusing, it'll happen."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:16 pm

Jennifer tilts her head at Stephanie as if to say 'Really?' She may not be the best student ever. Instead she just stares at Brigid and looks for that mental growl. She's more than a little high and that's always blurred the line between her own thoughts and those of others. She doesn't try to dig very deep but her mind kinda drifts. Just listen to their thoughts, forget what they're saying, it makes more sense in their heads anyway... It doesn't take very long for her to find the growling mass of fangs and fur in Brigids head and as she zones out the simple, primal thoughts spread to her mind.

When her body suddenly lurches and falls to the ground her thoughts briefly snap to Maya and what she would have to say about this. She'd be scared out of her mind. That's probably not a good sign... is the last coherent thought that goes through her head before her body wrenching itself out of it's normal shape drives anything that isn't pain out of her mind. Her fingers dig into the soft soil as claws replace nails and thick, blueish-black fur spreads down her back. The sound of her clothes tearing is lost under visceral noise of her bones rearranging themselves until it finally stops and a large, black wolf shakes off the remains of her clothes. It turns and snarls at Stephanie and Brigid out of sheer confusion.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:18 pm

"I....should have perhaps encouraged a training outfit first." Steph frowned. "I'll buy you a new outfit if it makes you feel any better."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:19 pm

Latching on to Brigid's wolf is probably a bad idea, as soon after Jen manages to get a hold of it, she's writhing with the throes of change as well. Not long after Jen rights herself, an especially large, red-furred wolf is next to her, similarly confused.

At least she's wearing a training outfit.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 6:26 pm

"....well. When in Rome..."

Steph closed her eyes and let out a low growl as she too began to shift, brown fur quickly covering her twisting form until another large wolf sat with them. She seemed to have bulked up a bit since the last time they'd all been together.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 8:54 pm

Jennifer was easily the smallest of the three but that doesn't seem to deter her much from posturing. She reaches back with her head and snatches a large shred of clothes from her back, throwing it to the ground with a growl and placing a paw on it to rip it into bits with her fangs.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:14 pm

Whether Vertie can sense it or not, Brigid's wolf seems to be gaining more of a foothold each time it's dragged up like this by Jen, and right now it's very much in the driver's seat.

The big red wolf gives a greeting bark to Jen, and a friendly nudge with its shoulder.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:31 pm

Steph was mostly letting her wolf "drive" but it would feel to Vertie that Steph's human side was exerting more than a little controlling influence. She let out a friendly bark of her own at the two

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:34 pm

Jennifer growls for a second, then whips her head up and waves a scrap of fabric at Brigid before taking off in a sprint.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:37 pm

Brigid lets out another bark before bounding off after Jen.

As big as she is she can't corner very well, but those long legs are certainly eating up ground.

by **Stephanie Kaltiera** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 9:43 pm

Steph tore after both of them, considerably more used to the form than either of them--almost cornering on a dime, nimbly ducking and dodging branches and rapidly gaining on them.

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 10:08 pm

Vertie watched, Jennifer had been a butt, but now she was a wolf and all there was no way in hell Vertie was going to not keep an eye on her. "Play is a good start." she quietly said to herself.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 11:25 am

Theresa had gotten herself up into a tree, her back against the trunk as she tried to relax. "Stupid Vertie, stupid Steph, stupid... everybody," she mumbled to herself.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:16 pm

While the others were playing, Murphy walked over to where Theresa is.

"Problem?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:21 pm

"Lots," she said, not looking at Murphy.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 2:20 am

"Talk about it?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 8:32 am

"Not now. You have a pack to look after."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 1:40 pm

"You're part of it," Murphy says.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 1:44 pm

"Hmph."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:46 am

Jennifer keeps narrowly dodging her pursuers until she suddenly comes to a skidding stop, nose twitching and eyes scanning the forest. There's a low rumble in her throat as she tries to home in on the rabbit somewhere in the underbrush.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 11:49 am

With the wolf-version of a shrug (use your imagination), Murphy turns away from the grumpy Theresa and watches Jennifer.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 12:12 pm

Brigid for her part can't stop on a dime, so she does what comes naturally.

She goes crashing into Jennifer in a heap of limbs.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 12:21 pm

The rabbit bails at the commotion and Jennifer's growl turns towards Brigid, her jaws snapping at the larger wolf.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 12:43 pm

Murphy does her best to restrain herself. It would not help to start laughing.
