Night blankets the villages south of the wall. While the pacifistic Gagarians are huddling around what may be the last bowls they'll ever smoke, the Hildnr are preparing to march and ride out in force come the dawn. Thankfully, you're far enough north that the nights are a hell of a lot longer than normal. Looks like you have about fourteen hours to kill.

You'll probably want to make a stop at the armory to get equipped, at some point, but there's also a fair amount of feasting happening where a bard is telling tales of the Hildnr's victorious history. The Blood Queen is in attendance, accepting oaths and blessing the warriors.

Of course, if what you'd rather do is train, the training yards are open, and there's a small barracks hall that's been outfittedwith clean furs and a roaring fire so you can rest before unleashing your bloodlust. Thoughtful!

Just don't forget: you still gotta find the blood champion, save the helpless stoner fratboys, and make it over that fuckhuge wall before lunchtime tomorrow.

[sneaks some food out of the feasting hall because everyone is loud, drunk, and horny and likes to throw shit. it's not a safe eating environment]

[thisbit]

[ hiding through the night in the place his camo is highest: a pile of the bedfurs. ]

[fairyvagina]

[nearly sits on if it wasn't for the beady little wolf eyes staring back]

[shuffles off to the side]

Well, you'd just scare the crap outta anyone wouldn't you.

[thisbit]

[ snorts and tucks a forepaw under his chin. ]

[ it's not my fault that people find me intimidating. it is pretty funny though. ]

[fairyvagina]

Not every day these people see a live wolf runnin' around their village. You better be careful they don't try to skin ya.

[sets plate down and picks at some dried fruit]

So you said the wine did this. You really can't turn back?

[used to werewolves looking like wolves other than weird hybrids]

[thisbit]

[ why do you think I'm hiding in here? making nice with the locals isn't going to make for a great distraction in the morning. ]

[ stretches and yawns, tail flopping a few times until it relaxes. ]

[ my sister. she could take this shape. ]

[fairyvagina]

Didn't know it varied...

[the more you know]

All the ones I knew before looked like this. I thought you were just gettin' outta bein' a girl.

[thisbit]

[ shakes fuzzy head, ears going side to side. ]

[ no...not exactly... ]

[ curls tail in around himself. ]

[ pretty...pretty sure the girl thing happened too. ]

[fairyvagina]

[thats more than i ever wanted to know about a wolf's junk]

Sorry...

[thisbit]

[ drops head to the blankets. ]

[ ears flatten. ]

[ at least no one is groping my ass. ]

[fairyvagina]

[reaches over and gently scruffs at him between the ears]

Can't stop you from bein' pet though.

[thisbit]

[ tongue lolls for a moment before he remembers himself. ]

[ whatever, it feels nice. no judging. ]

[fairyvagina]

Hey, I'm sure it does.

[lifts up after a moment and pats the fur back again]


Ya hungry? I think I brought too much. When I tried to get what I wanted, they said it wasn't warrior enough and then just piled things on until they thought I was ready. I'm all for warrior spirit, but honestly this much food might kill me.

[thisbit]

[ sniffs a little. dried fruit is about as appetizing as a pleather wallet but there's some cheese in there, and smoked fish. ]

[ so yeah, it's nature or whatever, but it's embarrassing to eat without any hands. do you mind helping? ]

[fairyvagina]

[raises eyebrow at him]

Really the time to be fussy?

[picks up the fish and holds it out to him]

[thisbit]

[ it's only partially better. i'm still having to lick food out of your hand, but at least i won't wind up with fishflakes and smelly cheese in my whiskers. ]

[fairyvagina]

At least no one would blame you for it.

[thisbit]

[ i would know. i would judge me. ]

[ i get my car waxed twice a month and i take hair gel with me when i run from the law. ]

[fairyvagina]

Can't judge you for havin' standards, I guess.

Guess it's kinda cute you keep on like that even now. Stuck like this. I wouldn't have been able to give less of a damn.

[thisbit]

[ ears twitch. ]

[ whining yip. ]

[ i draw the line at bathing myself with my tongue. ]

[fairyvagina]

Well if the boys do their job, you'll be back to normal in no time.

[thisbit]

[ snorts and licks the last bit of fish off her fingers. ]

[ it's not just them. we've all got a part to play. you're not planning to sit out, are you? ]

[fairyvagina]

Yeah...right. wur ha

[or whatever]

[idly cleans fishy hand with an old rag

[thisbit]

[ first time he put his tongue on you and it was over smoked salmon, sookie.
that's not his thoughts that's just a bracket, calm down. ]

[ flops forelegs over her lap and looks up at her. ]

[ what do we know about the blood champion, or whatever that is? you keeping up with that? ]

[fairyvagina]

Haven't really been scoobyin' around. All we know is that she's missin' and she's important to them. Haven't really picked up on their thoughts, not that I can't, just nothin' really stuck out.

[on the list of ruined firsts with werewolves]

[sets rag down and pokes at the tufts of fur between his toes. those are some mighty big claws you have]

I'd think maybe the Blood Queen might offer a good insight, but you can't get near her. I'd need to be able to touch her to get a look.
