Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Did you see Vincent as a wolf?

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

I did. [He was adorable, if very shifty and nervous.]

Half the time I was a sorcerer, but I was also just me. He was cute.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Cute is an understatement.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

I mean, sure. When I was a kid, I always wanted a dog and having a big, floppy wolf in my lap to watch movies with was pretty fucking great.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

[A loud, beleaguered sigh] I'm puppy hungry now.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

Of course you are. But, I'm gonna just point out that'd be a major, weird power dynamic shift if you were to offer it to him.

[Hanna's own world had werewolves if he was so inclined.] Your pack dynamic seems a little more structured than the solo wolves I've encountered back home anyways.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Oh I don't think he'd enjoy being a wolf long term. I could be wrong, but that's the sense I get. It's certainly a thing I'd wait for him to bring up before I'd offer it.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

If he did want it with out all the structure, I'm sure I could have a talk with Toni. Though I'd want to figure out how to actually make a pendant like hers myself first...

[He's not about to offer him that either without talking with her, but at least her transformations didn't seem as painful.]

He's got options if he wants to howl at the moon. And now that I've had the chance to fix Toni's pendant, she doesn't look quite as pomeranian when she shifts as she did. Much more intimidating.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Sometimes back home not everyone turns into a wolf--some of them look more doglike. But I've never seen one turn into a pomeranian. Thank God.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

It was an energy preservation thing. She was so cute though, I might have to convince her to use that form more often...

Tiny, stealth mode.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

I'd love to see that in action.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

I have a picture somewhere...it might have gone in the zine I gave Vinny when I got back.[He'll have to look.]

It's kind of funny, wolves where I come from can talk in every form they have too, so she'd just be yapping away as this cute little puff ball.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Oh that makes me jealous. The things I could have done if I could have spoken words in the pound.

[He's kidding. That would have ended with him in a science lab. No thank you. But still the image is funny]

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

Oh, I'm sure she fucks with people all the time but usually regular people don't notice the paranormal.

They'd see a dog talking and immediately think 'naw, that didn't happen'.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

I wish that was the case in my world. We've got the military looking for us now.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

Oh shit, really?

[He really should be getting on with this bullshit, he's been multitasking, but...]

I'm not powerful enough to offer any kind of help at keeping your pack obscured, but... you ever think of something I can do to help, let me know.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

I appreciate it. I have some ideas; but they can wait until things have settled with your inmate. You've got a lot on your plate.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

Like I didn't already. [Hanna heaves a long sigh before he finishes his guidance spell, an impressive feat one handed.]

Alrighty I'm going to go on a fucked up scavenger hunt. Flick Vinny's nose for me if you see him.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

I would but...this is so sweet. Isn't it?

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

I never said it was, and I never said it wasn't.

[just like he told Vin that it actually was kind of sweet, and maybe a little romantic in a fucked up kind of way. He does at least have less conflicting feelings about his clumsily carved box. That thing is fucking adorable.]

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Look, just...don't be mad at Vincent for this. He did it because he loves you. It took a lot for him to do this. And your inmate isn't really hurt by it.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

[Hanna will pause a moment on his way out the door.]

I think the only person who can say for sure he wasn't hurt, was his royal pain in my ass. And while I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, that doesn't mean that I asked for it either.

I can accept all Vincent's reasons for doing this, and still be kind of pissed off at the same time. Those two things aren't impossible to feel at the same time. I contain multitudes of stupid, conflicting feelings all the time. This is no different.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

[he chuckles] Yeah I get that. I ran into that with Alec a time or two.

Just don't be angry that I'm not punishing Vincent for it. I think he did the right thing given the tools he has at this given moment.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[falkeditupagain]

I asked you to flick his nose, Lark. That is the least punishing punishment ever.

I mean, I could ask you to kiss his nose instead but that'd be weird and I don't think he'd appreciate it.

Re: Shortly after Vincent leaves Hanna to his scavenger hunt

[ukan]

Oh he wouldn't. And I'm proud of him so unfortunately I can't flick him either. He got revenge without causing a bloody massacre; that's more than I've ever done.

And with his history how often do you think he wanted to protect people he cared about? How often do you think he was actually able to do it?

This is a step forward for him. Grim as that may seem.
