Who, who are you really? [OPEN]

Who: Daisy Tonner & you!
What: Wolf time amongst other things
When: January
Where: Many places on the ship
Warnings: Possible references to police brutality, possible poor attitude towards other non-humans/left-of-human types, others noted in subject lines.
Notes: Hunt Sense Permissions, what does your character smell like? Feel free to flip me to brackets I am comfortable with either style. Also Daisy has her own wardrobe now which means she's in a lot of daisies/florals, light colours, generally practical but pretty clothes.


1. I have nothing left to prove [calgona gym]

Working out has become a more regular part of her routine now she has actual suitable workout clothes again, which means Daisy can be found in Calgona on a fairly routine basis, either using other equipment or tearing up the punching bags with her claws again (and occasionally actually punching them, like, you know, you're supposed to).

Besides the unconventional approach to the bags, though, her workout routine is very much normal seeming on the surface. She does her stretches, she spends time running on the treadmills, she does weight lifting... if you don't look too closely, there's nothing remarkable about it at all. If you do, though, you'll notice that her endurance goes well beyond even the fittest normal human being, and that she's lifting bars weighted far heavier than someone who honestly looks a little bit starved. And she's doing it without a spotter.

Still, the vast majority of the time she's having no issue at all. Except for the fleeting moments where it seems like her strength suddenly threatens to fail her and she barely gets the weight back on the rack in time.

But she's fine, really.

2. 'Cause I got nothing left to lose [memorial]

Only weeks ago, Daisy was stood at the memorial shamelessly deriding it, finding it pointless and hollow because she did, and still does, struggle to believe that anyone on this ship cares a bit about anyone from prior excursions, no matter if they've listed their names or not.

Yet now, she finds herself drifting towards it. Mostly she hovers nearby, watching people come and go, seeing who adds names or offerings or lingers for a while. Eyes burning holes in the backs of people's heads, body language strangely tense and guarded.

But there are a few times, when she thinks no one is around, that she approaches it herself. Checking out the names of people she knew, though rarely ever liked. Even adding a couple of names with some choice epitaphs (MARA - at least someone else had sense, SOUTH DAKOTA - THE hottest mess) before, finally...

BASIRA HUSSAIN
I'm sorry


At the same time, she places down her old Warrant Card, found buried within the pocket of her old choice of plainclothes in her recently returned wardrobe from home—the closest thing she has to anything that ties her and Basira together. If you catch her blinking back tears, beware, she might just bite.

3. See me bare my teeth for you [cabins, decks, around]

The wolf figurine in the sundries box felt like just another nonsense gift, when she got it. It wouldn't have been her first useless package, there was a wide variety of random tat that got handed out during the last voyage, so she just tossed the thing in a drawer and ignored it. That, of course, proves to be an error in judgement. She's not actually entirely sure what triggers it, the first time, but she wakes up from a scant couples hours of sleep in her cabin only to realise something is very, very off when the first thing she sees is paws.

What follows is a panicked assault on the furnishings of the room, that thankfully Siffleur doesn't really use and will repair itself when she leaves anyway, as she processes the fact she's suddenly a goddamn wolf. Growls and snarls and other sounds of distress interspersed with human cursing ("What the FUCK?!"). Honestly, from outside, without seeing her, it'd be hard to tell her form has changed at all given how much she growls on the regular.

Eventually she figures out how to change back (it is, apparently, simply a matter of choice, and that this is entirely under her control is at least better than the alternative) but it's only after a few more days to let this new reality settle in somewhat that she becomes a wolf again on purpose. More to figure this new bullshit out, than out of real desire, but...

Once she does, on a few scattered days throughout the month there's another wolf on board. Prowling the decks getting used to this four legs business. Tearing up random bits of furniture, or punching bags in the gym. Seeing how fast she can actually go. 'Stealing' food from one of the restaurants or buffet and hiding away with it. Napping, once or twice.

She has... mixed feelings, about this, but admitting the extent of them is an entirely different problem.

Daisy wakes from her doggy nap to find a plush husky with big blue eyes flopped on the floor next to her. Erin's scent, quite fresh, lingers in the air.

The plush scoots when batted, just as one might expect it to. It's clearly full of fluff and made of cloth -

And its tail is wagging.

"Oh sweet, you're Daisy!" It's Erin's voice, unmistakably; the plush hops up onto all fours and bounces in excitement. "You didn't tell me you can be a wolf! You're gorgeous!"

Says the person who's choosing to reveal her own shit like this.

"I made an educated guess! You're kinda wolfy to begin with and I figured it was either you or that Aiden guy I've heard about, but your fur's the same color as your hair." Perfectly logical.

No it's not.

"But thiiiiis is new! I can turn into stuff now."

"Neat! It's a good look on you, fierce and wild and regal."

Little hop closer. In a playful whisper: "I wish to boop your nose."

Hop. Hop. Hophophop.

Boop! The little plush nose touches Daisy's wolf one, and Erin giggles in delight.

"Yeah? It seems par for the course around here. SecUnit got a whole digestive system, and like...yeah." Now that she says it that too is weird but with so many people getting things like that how's Erin supposed to frame it?

Also..."Daisy, before I started wagging my tail were you gonna play with me?"

"Daisy, not to bomb your position here or anything, but -" Erin flops over stiffly. "It's not enough to just not do what you don't want to do. You've gotta figure out the kind of life you want to live too, or you'll have nowhere to go. You gotta start living like you're gonna succeed."

"There's lots of places to go. Hobbies to learn, people to get to know, cultures to share, me to fuck with a newfound blessing..."

Yeah she's just gonna slip that in at the end there.

"It's a cunning plan to ensure we have a whole-ass adult discussion about it, but also you can't escape that easily." Erin hops upright and puts her paw on Daisy's. "I want to help you be happy. You can't do that if all you're doing is fleeing your misery."

"Duh. Y'think I am, my sovereign?"

It's said gently, but there's no hiding the sorrow. The journey has been so long already, and there's so much further to go.
