[After the public portion of this:]

How is it that she can directly ask you what she wants but not me? Asking people on dates isn't fucking rocket science.

[ragedagainst]

Is this one of them girlcode things where I shouldn't fuck her?

[wyldfire]

No, this is me bitching about the absolute worst way I've ever been asked out on a date. Fuck her for all I care. I assumed you already had.

[ragedagainst]

I have. But if you wanted me to fuck her off, I would.

Awww c'mon. That can't be the worst way. I've had worse than that.

[wyldfire]

Implying in the middle of a crisis where people are starving that I get to eat while others don't when she knows damn well that I run a women's shelter back home? Yeah, it's completely clear cut that I was being asked on a date.

Unlike you, I don't get asked on dates very often.

[ragedagainst]

Yeah. Not a great opening line for sure.

I got a mate, a baby and a girlfriend. Plus my idiots. [ Her beautiful idiot packmates. ] You think I got time to date!?

[wyldfire]

Before you had the mate.

My point is that in the course of the handful of times I've been asked out, that was the worst. Fuck, I almost never get hit on at lesbian bars when I go. I don't even have Rage as an excuse. All the baby lesbians hang out together over by me at the bar.

It's really depressing.

[ragedagainst]

I get it. And it's a fuckin' shame because you're a stone cold fox, obviously, but looking to Joan for quality companionship is like going to a O'Tolleys for a slap up feed.

Throw your seeds in a field that stands a chance of growing a tree.

[wyldfire]

It's just nice to be wanted, and sometimes a bag of greasy fries hits the spot. Usually when drunk.

[ragedagainst]

Jordana.

Are you tryin' to hit it and quit it? You slag. [ Her tone is clearly mirthful a d not intended to offende. ]

Look there's like at least ten solid farm lesbians here I could introduce you to.

[wyldfire]

I'm not not. I'm just keeping options open. It's not like I can keep going back to the same watering hole. That's eventually going to make things weird.

[ragedagainst]

Y'know, we're going to have to have the conversation of what we do when the Litany gets broke, Jor.

It's not like we can kill them and be done with it. Resurrections really fuck that element up.

[wyldfire]

Are you referring to the Veil or a different tenet of the Litany?

[They were just talking about sex. Was this about them? Did Ren want to-- Yeah, still awkward.]

[ragedagainst]

...the Veil, obviously?

[ Wait what tenent is she talking about? ]

It ain't no secret that getting attached to people puts the Veil at risk. If one of us rages out after seein' something bad happen to someone we're seein'...

It makes shit difficult, okay?

[wyldfire]

[If she meant the Veil she needed to refer to it as such! Not just 'breaking the Litany'. There are 13 tenants.]

This is why we're supposed to be involved with kinfolk, not humans, but that's not an option here, so there's no need to give me shit about saying it.

[Jordana sighed. This was also why she didn't have relationships anymore. It was too difficult. She decided not to point out that only one of the two of them were in danger of frenzying; Jordana's rage wasn't great enough to overcome her control.]

We can pass it off as the curse monsters the first couple times. That's what I did to cover your frenzy. You... and Dana are the only ones that know what I turn into. [And now she was regretting mentioning it to Scully.]

The Veil exists to protect us from the Wyrm and to protect humanity from us. Jill wasn't affected by the Delirium, but she also didn't get a direct look at me as I had the Curse of Aeolus active to shroud us in fog. She did shriek but either she has a very strong will or it didn't affect her because she possesses magic.

I don't know what's the best play right now, Ren. It does feel like it's an inevitability. People seem to nominally accept the other wolf. It just doesn't sit right.

[ragedagainst]

He ain't a wolf - he's worg.

[ Ren is sharp in her correction. She and Khoriya have bristled at each other already. ]

And an arsehole.

[ Probably goes without saying but hey, it brings her joy. ]

Wilks seem t'turn into werewolves or fuck off big dogs more often than not. Seen a few. Knocked me for six at first. Like seeing a funhouse mirror when you ain't expecting it.

Problem is, I don't know what I got waiting for me when I finally snap my shit. Rage seems t'burn hotter than zzadza for me.

[wyldfire]

So he claims. I haven't had the privilege of Scenting him to know for certain what he is. Regardless, he's openly walking around so if anyone sees us in crinos, they're going to think we're the same.

You may be a corrupted Coyote. [Since Jordana was a corrupted unicorn.] You are also Ahroun. Rage will always burn hot in you.

Do you want to force your monster out to know what it is?

[ragedagainst]

Not really, no.

I'm enough of a destructive force at the best of times. I don't really want to invite whatever a corrupted Coyote can do.

[wyldfire]

Good. I didn't want to go there, but I would've if you wished.

[ragedagainst]

If I ever do, y'need to use lethal force. Immediately. We can't risk whatever type of monster I might turn into. Not with my strength.

[wyldfire]

I don't have to go for the kill to stop you. Remember I am Philodox. Your monster will submit if I can't end the transformation like I can your frenzy.

But if necessary, I'm aware of what needs to happen.

[ragedagainst]

Yeah, well, I'd rather have it said then not said.

[wyldfire]

Of course. If you have the wherewithal to give me a mental shout and location if you feel like you're transforming, I'll do what I can to get there to minimize the collateral damage.
