Born to be Wild: Were-Creature Rp Open!

For a time, Jack was drifting in an almost blissful unconsciousness. The pain wasn't so bad. Then suddenly, all at once, a rush of agony ran through his already weakened body. He sat up with a start, a hand clamped over his mouth so he would scream out. He could hear his own heart beating loudly in his chest. He needed to leave. Now.

For once in his life, his body seemed to be on his side for once and he was able to force himself out of bed, taking him a second to get his bearings. He can only hope he could convince Adeline to let him leave before... God, he didn't even want to think about it.

(I'll get Adeline's response up either tonight or tomorrow! And I've really gotta work on Nola's ^^'

.' - Nola Levington - '.

Nola's work-shift ended a bit earlier than usual, most of the were-shifters in the force antsy and ready to leave. And she's not too different. The moment she get's home, keys hung up where they always go, she heads upstairs to get changed. A simple pair of running shorts, a tank top, and her favorite running shoes.

The day went.. not too bad. Nothing much found on the rogue shifters, which make her inner wolf positively unsettled. But there's not too much she can do, especially when she needs to get ready to head to the Primal Blood's preserve. So Nola throws her hair into a neat ponytail, and heads out the door.

It's getting darker. The days are always longer in the summer, but it's still late. Even just the peaks of the visible moon makes the crawling under her skin shudder. And as she hops into her car, the window rolled down for air as she heads for the ever familiar preserve. Her senses are so sharp it makes her cringe internally. The screech of her car's breaks. The smell of fumes, or roadkill. The feel of the crawling under her skin, and the beginnings of the subtle tearing to get out.

Her first shift was the worst, and she's long since gotten better. She's long since gotten used to shifting.. but when she's unsettled, the shift is more unsettling. The moment the full moon is at it's high, it'll be a smooth shift. Just rockier than usual. Perhaps even a tinge painful. It always has the tinge of an ache, especially in her arms, and back. But during shifts where the wolf is more eager to get out.. the ache can increase in it's eagerness, in a faster shift than usual. So Nola just knows to not be quite so surprised if this full moon is more painful than the last.

She paused when the door peaked open, getting a look at Jack. He still.. seemed tired, she'd guess. Still having that pale sleet over his face indicating pain. She's well versed with that look, most people she helps on a day to day basis have it when they're gaining strength back. Or even using muscles they've not used in years.

Besides that.. he doesn't look worse, which is good. "Hi- sorry.. I just- well, thought I heard you? You okay?" She asks quietly, eyes furrowed in concern. "D'ya need anything?"

Oh how he wished he could just tell her in that moment. How he still felt too hot and achy. How his limbs and finger-tips had now begun to strangely tingle. That his vision was still both too blurry and too focused. But how could he? Would she even believe him if Jack revealed that his worst fear was coming true?

“N-No… No. I-I’m fine now, really,” He said, a little too nervous sounding as he carefully moves around Adeline, “Thanks for… Y’know… Helping me. But I think I should get home now. Don’t want to be anymore of a bother than I already am.”

Looking between the two adults Maria thought of something to say. She knew Jack needed to get out, and no medicine was gonna fix his problem. She raised a shaky hand and asked, "I-if it makes you feel any better miss Adeline I can help him home. I am s-sure that I can get him home if needed. Besides I have taken up enough of your time anyways, and I need to go home soon s well. Though I am not trying to just leave because you haven't been a good host or anything, you have been great." She Just groaned as she closed her mouth. Why did she even try and speak, she should know to just not.

.' - Adeline Nicholson - '.

Adeline pauses at that, looking them both over carefully. It's not a bad idea she supposes.. Rubbing at her elbow, and returning the smile Jack gives with one of her own. Though hesitant.. it's not like it's completely dark out yet, and Maria probably knows her way around plenty more then her and Jack combined.

And.. there's this odd feeling, nudging her to agree. That if she doesn't- ..

She almost swears she sees Jack's eyes look different, but she blinks and it's gone. "Yeah.. alright. Uhm- I'll see you later than Jack? And make sure not to stay out too late Maria.." She says, fumbling slightly. Adeline knows she shouldn't be bossing around a random teenager, but she feels she's somewhat valid.

She still has her doubts about the kids parents knowing where she is. "And- ah, thanks." She adds idly to the girl, hesitating. She certainly hopes she's not leaving a sickly, 6'ft tall guy's life to a teenager.

Maria shook her head as she said, "O-oh there is no need to thank me for anything miss Adeline, it is nothing really. Don't worry if anything happens I know exactly what to do." Yeah cut and run home, where she will lock herself inside her room until this night is over. Honestly she did not expect Adeline to trust her to help Jack, cause well look at her. She looks like she could barely take care of a cold, much less a grown man. She then quickly followed after Jack towards the exit.

.' - Adeline Nicholson - '.

Adeline watched to two leave with a slightly lost expression. The further they seemed to get, the more just a few moments went on, that odd feeling seemed to dissipate. But at the same time, another built.

She shook her head, running a hand down her face with a sigh. Her phone buzzed, indicating some information from her boss. Adeline clicks her phone on, taking a look. Considering that Jack nor Maria stayed too long.. she could go tonight, just taking over the shift of the person who took over hers for a bit.

Yeah, seems the best way to go, it certainly helps that she's still ready.

('end on her subscription to breathing' made me crack up xD)

(Alright! Back to the chaos!)

Jack just shook his head as she talked, not even looking at the girl anymore. He was instead focused on his hands. They just felt… strange. Like they didn’t belong to him anymore. He continued to slowly back away as he stared at his hands. To be honest, he had no idea if he would be a danger. For all he knew he could be turning into a lazy wolf that just wanders the forest, but it was a chance he wasn’t willing to take.

“Just… Just get home, okay?” he pleaded one more time desperately before running off, neither checking to make sure if he was being followed nor did he have any idea where he was going. All his instincts were telling him to isolate himself in the forest, and that’s exactly what he’s going to do.

(Next post’s the one! Very excited)

(Gonna wait a bit for others to make posts for their own characters but the next one I make is the transformation sequence haha)

(Hungry like the Wolf starts playing) 

The Pack House: 

A singular howl pieced the night air soon followed by a second and a third. Wasn't long before the night was filled with howls, roars and cries.  Delvin stood in front of a large fire as members of the Primal Bloods gather in front of him.  He could feel the tension and anticipation in the air.  "Friends! We gather here once again to our monthly shift and to embrace our wild selves! As usual, you know that going after humans is forbidden and you are to stick to the forest.  Please don't try and kill each other okay?  Those who are new to shifting have already been taken into the forest with their guides.  Please be mindful if you see them." Delvin takes a moment to let everything sit before his eyes turned more wolf like.  "No go! Embrace your wild side and catch some prey!"   This caused to cry out in excitement and caused some to already shift.  Those who were ready race off into the forest shifting mid run while others waited for everyone else to go. 



Meanwhile:


Roger and Darcy were tasked with looking for Jack. Teagan had stopped by to pick Jack up only to find he wasn't in his room or anywhere on the property. She ordered the both of them to look for him and make sure he didn't harm anyone.  Roger  was worried while Darcy was more than annoyed by the whole situation.

(AYYY! The time has come, now I've gotta write up stuff for Nola and Adeline! Adeline's gonna have an entertaining interaction with this- and Juno! If you want Jack to meet Nola in the woods, or something- haha, just let me know! I'm writing their stuff up right now.)
