care and feeding for your wolf

Who: Ylva and the curious
What: Shenanigans with Wild Shape
When: Early September, I guess. Time is soup.


just a little nap

Ylva is a wolf and has no problem telling anyone about that fact. Still, there are other shapes she enjoys. She is not one to be pinned down to one approach to anything. She's flexible that way.

What this means, at the moment, is that there is an allosaurus stretched out on the pool deck, enjoying the sun. Mammals are fine, but have you ever been a large, warm-blooded reptile in a patch of sunlight? Her feathers are fluffed up strategically for maximum sunning, tail curled politely around her, head tucked gently into the classic bird pose of "using my own back as a pillow."

She is very much asleep, but not deeply so.


just a little awoo

When night falls, though, it's possible to hear howling.

The curious will find a large, shaggy wolf pacing the sports deck under the moon, restless and unhappy. She throws her head back to howl, and stops, listening. There's no answer, of course. She knows there can't be an answer. Still, she does howl, and wait, and listen.

She remains alert, though, one ear always out for someone who might come to investigate the actual howling wolf wandering the deck of the ship.

"I mean..." Shrug?? He really doesn't know. Like, you go your whole life with nothing weird happening, and then for three years there's magic meth brainwashing people into zombies??? What's he supposed to do there??? "Not enough that I ever noticed it, I guess..."

But there's a bigger question here.

"How the fuck did he lose a whole-ass tower?"

"Ooooh, like Baba Yaga!" He and Ava had been talking about that! "Y'know, with the legs and shit -- whatever, what I wanna know is why the dude didn't have a spare key! If I had a walking magic wizard tower, I'd probably have like, a whole keyring full of spares."

Or a secret portal into his bedroom or some shit.

"Guess we can't all think ahead like that, though..."

Honestly? A mood Sharky gets.

"Is that how you learned how to turn into animals? Like, is there some street smarts lesson in shapeshifting where you come from?" Because obviously, she ain't no wizard!

Okay, so, fantasy nerd shit. The things Ylva's saying make way more sense to Sharky than most of the other magic around the ship. "Huh. That makes sense, though. Like, you watch an animal and learn how to embody it in, uhh, body and soul, I guess?? Understanding their rich inner world and the unique way they adapt to their surroundings??"

That all makes 100% sense to him, an avid connoisseur of furry media. But the thing that doesn't is:

"How do you get your body to... like... do it, though???" The transformation part, he means. That's so weird!!!

"No, yeah, makes sense that it's hard to do. If it were easy, anyone would fuckin' do it, right?" That's what the motivational posters say, anyway! "It's just... really fuckin' cool, dude. You! Are so fuckin' cool. What the fuck!" He's straight-up starstruck by her powers. And her vibe. And her looks...

"Well, yeah, obviously I think it's cool! It's bad-fuckin'-ass is what it is, like, turning into animals is a fucking dream of mine!!!"

Okay, furboy, tone it down. Except, fuck that, "It's probably the most awesome magic power to have, and if anyone gives you shit about it, you can turn into a fuckin' wolf and chomp 'em!" Not seriously, but he's in hypeman mode okay? "Way cooler than having a walking tower, forrrrr sure."
