I was a teenage werewolf

Who: Max Brinly and Laura Kearney's unbetter halves, and YOU!
What: The wolfsbane's bloomed, and the moon is full and bright
When: December 8th, the night of the full moon
Where: All over the ship
Warnings: Violence and gore, with the potential to shade into body horror depending on how bad good bad the fights get


1. I had a teen-land mind, I had to blow my top [the brig, CLOSED to laura and jack]

A pall goes across Max's face as Jack closes the brig door. He wants to make a joke, like, 'do we get room service?' or 'promise you'll let us out again!' or whatever, but the words get stuck somewhere in his throat and he has to make do with a weak sort of grin.

Cool. Cool cool cool. No big deal, just back in jail and wanting to cry and drill a hole in the floor Great Escape style, no problem. Deep breath.

"Alright, babe, this is... gonna feel like crap," he says gently to Laura. It's 1) kinda his fault she's in here too, and 2) her first time, and he would really like to make it a bit easier and less confusing than it was for him the first time he popped. "But no worse than, like, that flu that went around freshman year. Remember that thing? It's nothing, you got this. I got you."


2. and under teen full moon, no-one could make me stop [around the ship, OPEN]

2a. multipack

The warm, salt night air is split by a wolf's piercing howl. It's answered by another, just as loud.

There are predators on board the ship.

The smell of accumulated humanity -- and other smells, a hotpot of smells, a whole Korean barbecue of different living meats -- draws them first to the Promenade. Two hulking hairless creatures, tall even on all fours, growling and slavering from mouths with far too many teeth.

The electric lights are bright, brighter than they'd like, but not so bright that they can't see. At first the two werewolves just lope excitedly from new smell to new smell, giving the loudest joints such as Rischie a wide berth, noses to the ground as they explore this totally alien environment of ice cream parlours and restaurants. As soon as they pick up someone's fresh scent, though, or hear somebody moving around? Exploration will turn into hunting faster than you can say 'bad doggy'.

2b. sold separately
They peel off from one another after a while, the better to hunt. Who knows where you might be when you hear a scuffling of claws on the floorboards, or a snuffling of nostrils, or see a pair of bright yellow eyes shining in a hideous face?

Maybe you'll encounter Max, or maybe you'll encounter Laura. Or maybe which one you encounter won't matter all that much, because neither of them is in the driver's seat right now.


[ OOC: welcome one and all to Full Moon Hours!
➼ We both have permissions posts for werewolf stuff: here is Laura's and here is Max's. Check out Max's for info about werewolves in their canon, including helpful info should you wish to fight and/or get bitten by one.
➼ If you're tagging, please comment on one or both of these posts with what a werewolf's powerful sense of smell might pick up from you!
➼ We've planned which characters are going to take Max and Laura down, but outside of that, this is basically a free-for-all so long as neither of them are permanently incapacitated. Go nuts!
➼ Visual learner? Me too. Here's these gross lil werewolves in screenshot, gif, and video format (please do not @ max about this video he had a tummy ache and he was trying so hard). ]

WOLF TIME WOLF TIME

At this point, Darcy kind of knows that her occasional patrols aren't really necessary. Since the ghosts got their shit wrecked, it's been the same as usual; the night belongs to the vast population of insomniacs, there's little actually lurking in the dark.

Usually.

She's got one headphone in her ear listening to something loud and thumpy to keep herself alert when she sees... something slimy stalking down the hallway with the cabins. Gross. What- she has to deal with slimy people now?

"Uh- you good, buddy?" she calls, a hand on her sword and the other moving quickly to pull her headphones out and stash her ipod.

"Oh my God-" she takes a step backwards, hand tightening further on the hilt of her sword, her other hand going to her misericorde.

"Jesus- okay are you just- are you good? Like, is this just- what you're doing or are you about to try and eat me?"

"Okay-" not like the ghosts she'd encountered who were gross but friendly. The roar kicks her adrenaline in, and there's a brief moment of clarity before she starts moving. Ordinarily she'd lunge at the motherfucker, but the last thing she needs is to fight it near a whole bunch of bystanders.

"Okay," she repeats, "you want me?" another step backwards, and then she turns to run, hoping to bait it away from the cabins, "come get me!"

Darcy's taken out regional medals for 100m and 200m sprinting. This, unsurprisingly, does not help her here. Or at least, she doesn't think it will at first. Surely she can outrun whatever this bitch is, she just needs to make sure she doesn't lose- oh fuck he's right on her heels, change of plans, she's fucking booking it. There's no shadows deep enough to teleport through, and levitating won't make her that much faster. Her best option is to get to the stairs and Cold Wind Caul up, drawing him further away from the cabins. Or- maybe down a couple of floors? She'll work it out when she gets there.

For the moment she's not tiring out, but if this turns into an endurance race, she's definitely going to lose.

Lucky for Darcy, the concept of impractical shoes doesn't exist in her world- her combat boots grip well enough on the surface that she makes good on the lead she's been given. She pushes off the wall to dart for the stairwell- she's on the side that's going down, so go down she does, activating the Cold Wind Caul to run up the wall, saving her the time of having to go down the stairs individual.

"Slimy bitch!" she calls behind her, just in case it was thinking of going after easier prey. Presuming it understands what an insult is. Look she's not a werewolf hunter.
