Born to be Wild: Were-Creature Rp Open!

“Just make sure there’s a way for me to escape when I need to,” he replied, keeping his voice as steady and clear as possible. As much as he would like to sink into the bed and ride out the night where he was, but if it does happen, he would be putting Adeline and possibly the teenager in grave danger. He would need a clear path and maybe a good excuse for leaving.

Jack, who had been trying in vain to stay somewhat awake, was slightly startled awake at the arrival of Adeline. He struggled to sit up for a bit before finding his balance and he muttered a quiet thanks as he took the medicine and water from her. The water certainly helped. It was cool and crisp and was soothing for his overheating body. The part of him that was still awake absolutely hated being a bother. He was sure he had interrupted her day somehow.

“Sorry… You had to do this…” he said as he lowered himself back down, “Won’t stay long…”

(Go to sleep lol)

Adeline watched as he took the willingly given medicine. He.. really needs rest. Probably a hospital. But again, she can't force him, and he seemed near.. scared to go. So. Time to.. reassure? She took in a breathe, eyes a tinge surprised at how starkly clear it felt. Like she was in the forest, surrounded by trees, and leafy smelling dew.

Reaching out to take the cup, a finger slightly brushing Jack's as she took it. And.. suddenly rather than just breathing the forest air, she.. could see the forest. And a- creature. Gangly, misshapen claws, and jagged teeth like knives. Sharp ears.. and a howl just as piercing as it's eyes.

And then it's gone, and she shakily sets the cup down. "It'- it's fine Jack. I'd rather you here getting rest, then- then rushing.. to leave. Y- you're- you're sick." She fumbles over the words slightly, trying to shake off the horrific image. Internally, she's as confused as can be, because what the fu-

(Oooh I liked that description, soot! I like to imagine she’s seeing him mid-transformation and that’s gotta be terrifying)

.' - Adeline Nicholson - '.

She looked up towards the younger girl with a slight smile, trying to brush of the.. frankly bone chilling- image? The creature's howling.. it wasn't for it's pack- it was.. terrified, but ravenous. Putting her hands into her pockets, Adeline gives her a nod.

"Yeah.. we're friends. We met recently- we both also.. moved to town recently." Adeline offers to the slightly anxious seeming teenager. Oh.. maybe she should contact the kids parent's.. "Hey- do you.. need to get home? It's getting late."

(Right?? They’re so good!)

Delvin glances down at his phone for a moment before looking up at the sky. As it slowly got darker, Delvin could feel the urge to shift getting a lot stronger. The hardest part was waiting for the sun to finally go down. Delvin curls his hands tightly for a few seconds before letting them go. "Just a few more hours." He muttered to himself.

"Has anyone brought out the drums yet? We can't start this off without the drums!" He called out placing his hands on his hips.

(Okay now I'm going to start typing Javalle's closer up. Just like pretend it's a flashback to midday and not the fact that I'm slow lol- this is mainly to avoid timeline inconsistencies if we had any! Don't need anyone to respond to it; I'm basically saying "So he did leave the coffee shop and is going home now")

Adeline listened aptly to the younger girl, shifting on her feet. Oh jeez, every time someone her age says 'I can take care of myself' worries Adeline, in complete honesty. She has the oddest feeling (Witchy? Maybe) that she's lying. "Alright. Well.. if you're gonna stay here for a bit, you can go out and sit on the couch? Or get a snack or- ah- a drink or something?" Adeline offers idly.

Like mum taught her, treat the guests kindly. Have some manners.

Fiddling slightly, Adeline remembers with a hint of dread that.. she won't be able to make it to work. Whoops. Pulling out her phone, she's quick to send a short, but explanatory text to her boss. Forgoing the mention of the guy she's met once in her entire life passed out in her bed...

She's sure you can see why she decided not to mention that little tidbit.

.' - Adeline Nicholson - '.

Adeline gave the younger girl a slightly approving look. Well, at least she was warning her.. better than some people she knew at that age. Giving her a little smile as she left the room, Adeline turned her attention to the passed out Jack on her bed. She was a bit hesitant to really get near him, what with that little flash of an image.

Sharp teeth like a beach cliff side. Claw's like daggers but cut even sharper. Eyes so bright they could pierce your soul.

But.. she needs to check his temperature, so she reaches forward, careful not to shake him to much, and sets the back of her hand against his forehead. Warm.. definitely a bit of a fever. Which means his leg is probably infected... so antibiotics, but she'd rather an actual doctor prescribe those. She pulled her hand away with a quiet gasp.

Blood. Blood? Glinting like a ruby. Blood and water feel the same.. with your eyes closed.

And an odd voice. And.. she's pretty sure she's going insane. Or she drank too much coffee today, same thing?

(I'm loving reading both of your guys' responses! They're very entertaining xD And sorry for a late response!)

(Righty-o guys! I think I’ve delayed this long enough! Give me a bit to write up something to get him going)

(Ohooho can already tell tonight’s gonna get CRAZY-)

Noticing the atmosphere has lightened up thanks to Zhenya, er, Detective Anya, Javalle loosened his posture, even replying with a chuckle at the officer’s teasing quip before repeating his interests. “Horror and science fiction, huh? I’ll see what I can find for you.” A mild smile inched across his face and his eyebrows lifted a little. Javalle lent his ears as the were-tiger explained why he normally didn’t don his police outfit when around the job, and giggled once more once they struck their winning pose. It seemed fair, and he noted to the back of his mind that Anya was indeed in more casual wear when questioning Jack. Otherwise, the new shifter might’ve been much more fight-or-flight when answering his questions. For the first time, Javalle felt a pang of guilt that he interrupted their interrogation at the library so suddenly.


Then, as soon as conversation was just beginning to lighten up, Nola glanced at a watch, Javalle presumed (perhaps it was a heirloom like his pendant?) which determined that their break was over. Javalle felt a little disappointed that their conversation ended early, but he knows not every job closes early in preparation for the shifter’s moon. All he could do was say goodbye and watch the couple of officers exit.

“Well, nice meeting you, Nola. Anya. See you both around I expect.” With a wave and a dip of his head, he bid his farewell as the pair walked out the cafe door. Unexpectedly, he quite liked the chatter with the other shifters, even though it was brief. It gave him some peace of mind. Nola seemed like a peaceable person to be around, and he was interested to learn more about how well the werewolf retained her manner during such an ansty day. Perhaps he could gather intel for Jack one day. As for Anya, well, they were more of an eccentric puzzle, but at least they were on good terms. He didn't want to hold a grudge from some night terror anyways.

Javalle took a sip from his now pleasantly warm chai. What was he to do? Luckily, he didn't have to ponder on the question too long as his body made the choice for him. An itching, dare he say cat-like sensation in his legs caused him to stir up from his seat and prowl outside for a bit. A little walk through the forest couldn't hurt? He exited from the shop and took a deep breath of the crisp summer air. The sunlight was a bit bothersome as it climbed deeper into the sky, and Javalle wondered if bringing some sort of parasol like Zhenya's would've been a good idea. Another sip from their chai. The taste was good, but he just needed more... His senses were craving for some stimulation, so he might as well start the scenic route back home... He had time..
