Born to be Wild: Were-Creature Rp Open!

(You’re fine! I was just about to get off the school bus when I wrote mine lol)

Javalle took the man’s extended hand as a gesture to shake it, which he gratefully did. Noting the apprehensive tone in his voice, Javalle wondered if his client was worried if his leg injury was going to hinder any aspect of his work. He seemed to be healing fast; he couldn’t scent any signs of infection anymore, but he knew it was far from completely recovered. Perhaps his wolf-like abilities were beginning to take hold? Well, he may as well ask him it now.

“How is your leg doing? I see that you’re still having trouble, but I’m sure the library has everything provided to accommodate your needs. If not, I can certainly make arrangements to help in any way. If you’re up to it, could you come with me over to the counters? I’d like to show you how to organize the books.”

Javalle listened intently to the applicant’s words, then nodded slowly in contemplation. “Well, I’m glad those exercises have been working well for you.” He made his way to the counters where he did the majority of his work and pulled up a chair for Jack to sit down. He continued on, explaining what specific work he needed to complete.
“Luckily, the job you’re doing won’t require too much movement on your part. All we ask is that you organize books by putting them on this rack”, he motioned towards the aforementioned rack and gave it a nudge.

“What you need to do is scan the barcodes like so.” He demonstrated by flipping a random book from the rack on its back cover and picked up a scanner to read it. “Then, it’ll read on this computer right here. The computers here are a bit dated and finicky, so let me know if an error message pulls up. After you finish that, the book will be placed on this rack. Books are organized by the author’s last name, but if for some reason two books have the same last name, please alphabetize them by the title instead. Do you understand everything so far?”

Javalle didn’t realize how quickly he was talking; since he’s been working here for a little over half a year everything came naturally to him. He was just relived by the fact at least someone was willing to work with him, and being in a teaching position gave them a new opportunity to pass knowledge onto someone else for a change.

(Ahh, just double checking! Are we writing for the day of the full moon, or not yet?)

(Alright! Thank you, haha. My brain got a bit lost, lol. I'm excited to write for the full moon though!)

(WOO! I’m here! I won’t keep Jack much longer, how about a couple more messages and we should be good to go!)

Javalle peeked around as the other man asked his question. At once he knew what he meant since he asked the same thing when he was first applying to the library. It was good to know someone had the same concerns as him, especially as a fellow shifter, but Javalle wanted to make sure no one was unexpectedly watching. The library was supposed to be empty to make it easier for interviews, anyways. Once he made sure the coast was clear, Javalle went on in a hushed tone.

“The most that we can offer is to take time off for sick days, but I’ll talk to the staff about your…”, he paused for a second to catch himself before he gave too much away, “…condition and see if we can give you something a little more, though I’m not sure we can do much. I will recommend taking the morning shift with me, since the afternoon schedule doesn’t get off until around dinnertime, and I don’t think that’d be ideal for you. I’ll do what I can.” He waved his hand in a vague gesture. Javalle assumed that what he was saying wasn’t very reassuring, but it was the truth. He glanced at the clock on the counter.

Only five minutes before the library opens. We’d better wrap up soon.

Javalle gave half a smile and nodded. “Sure thing. It’ll take a couple of days to talk everything over with the other staff, but once we get word and have everything situated, we could begin working. I doubt anyone would dismiss you from working this job.”

Or, at least I hope so…

He didn’t dare utter his thoughts out loud. There was no issue for him to take a couple sick days off, especially due to his leg, but if this man used them incessantly, would anyone else take notice? Could suspicions ripple across the library that a pair of were-creatures were working at the very heart of them? Javalle shook his head as he tried to settle his anxieties. He decided to switch the topic to quell the raising storm in his mind.

“By the way, um, did I ever get your name? Your applicant form lists you as Jack Rivers and I want to make sure I’m not confusing you for someone else.” How unprofessional. That should’ve been the first thing he asked. He hoped this “Jack” didn’t mind the sudden change in discussion.

Seeing that Jack’s response warranted a chuckle from him, Javalle cracked a much more genuine smile. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, Jack. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other soon.” He took another glance at the clock; work would be starting up soon. He should close things off, he just hoped Jack wasn’t feeling rushed.

“How about you meet me here again, at the same time, in three days? I’ll let you know if you got the job, and we can plan things from there. I look forward to working with you.” He replied, meaning it. He would advocate as much as he can to get Jack on track, and especially since he was new to shifting, perhaps he could talk things over in secret one day? Well, they can discuss later. He could already see people lined up by the front door.

”My shift’s starting up now, so I think now would be a good time to end things off. Sorry if things were a bit rushed today, normally I’m a bit more composed than this.” Came the rushed response. He still couldn’t shake off the paranoia he felt walking in this morning and was ashamed with himself for running late… He just hoped he wouldn’t have another interaction with that officer anytime soon.

(Oh yeah oh yeah woo I’m ready I’ve never been more ready, how about everyone else? After a few responses one of us can tag Hawk!)

(Hawkeyes258 We’re ready to start the full moon! Wanted to let you know! Super excited to hear what ideas you have planned)

I don't think I asked this but do we want to rp the full  day of the full moon or skip to dusk when the moon is rising?)

(I’d prefer dusk just so I can get straight to the angst, but I understand if people want to just do the day of so tensions are high and what-not!)

(Maybe like, mid day, nearing dusk? So we get a bit of time before hand to set the day up, then go towards the moonrise?)

(That’s a good compromise! I like that idea!
Also I’ll probably be here for an hour more! It’s getting late for me, but I’m staying up anyways!)
