Well, Shit (Yard)

It all seemed to happen in slow motion. Before Alex could do anything, the werewolf exploded into chunks of blood, flesh, and ice.

"No! NOOOO!"

Alex just collapsed onto the ground and started crying. How could this have happened?! How did everything go so wrong?! Someone had just died, right in front of them. The werewolves were going to retaliate in full force once they found out about this. What was going to happen to the school once this news got out? Or Fluffy?! It was all too much to bear.

Dorms

Ash had told him it was hot in the dorms, so Karl decided it was probably a good idea to turn the Air Conditioning on. He cranked it all the way down to 66, then went back to waiting.

He carefully marked down the positions of each chess piece, just in case of another tremor.

After that, he pulled out his Sherlock Holmes book.

After ten to fifteen minutes, he was beginning to be a bit concerned. It was nice and cool in the dorm room by that point. Shouldn't Ash be back by now? Had she gotten lost?

He filled up a glass of water for her, then went to go find her just in case...

Umm... so, I was here, I guess. If I wasn't, someone hacked my account. So, yeah.

Perry froze, wide-eyed with horror. And then her screaming started.

"AAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!" she howled—a sorrowful, terrified cry that probably carried for miles around. And Perry ran. And ran. And ran.

To where she knew not, she only knew she had to get away from that terrible scene.

She finally reached the tunnel and collapsed into someone. It happened to be Shane. She clutched at his coat and sobbed into it.

The ghostly pets also started up a racket in response to their master, an echoing wail to mark a horrific and grisly death.

Nurse's Office

Ellie and the others arrived in front of the Nurse's office before they could blink. For a nurse's office, it wasn't much to look at aside from a large stack of hulking books reaching nearly up to the ceiling. In the back, they could see a blond, buxom nurse attending to a large, bulky man in a white suit, though his face was obscured by her backside. "Hey there! Just be a minute!"

She rubbed the man's hands with a strange sort of substance before skipping along to the doorway, greeting them as they came in and as cheery as could be. "Hey there! Don't think we've meet! Name's Nurse Hello! So, what's up?" She glanced at Dante. "He doesn't look so good."


"Tunnel"

"I'm sorry," said Orthus to Jack. "That is all I can recall."

Top blinked inquisitively as he watched Perry approach. "Distraught" was too tame a word for her demeanor. Something must have...Oh no. He resisted the urge to approach. They'd get the whole story eventually— a butchered and tersely narrated version anyway.

Shane

Shane just stood there and listened to the kid cry. Combat was a brutal and torrid affair. She just wasn't ready for the real stuff - maybe for the training and anything simulated this school offered, but there was a world of difference between the bleeding front and robots you knock apart and put back together. He put a hand on her head and the other around her shoulder, and just stood there stock still, waiting. He breathed and then looked up at the top of the tunnel.

"...no idea what happened, but cry it out, kid. Cry it out. I don't mind. You're distraught, that's clear as day."

Jack's fist impacted the ground beside them "Dammit" They hissed in anger.

They took a deep breath and composed themselves. "I'm sorry, it's not your fault, it's just....frustrating, very frustrating." They said, a weary expression briefly crossing their face, only present long enough for those paying close attention to notice.

The Dorms

“#$&%.” Bonk. “#$&%.” Bonk. “#$&%.” Bonk. “#$&%.” Bonk...

That was what would've been audible to Karl from down the end of the corridor, and surely enough the pyrokinetic seemed to be in a trance just around the corner; eyes closed and repeatedly knocking her head against the wall whilst swearing under her breath. A red mark seemed to be forming on her forehead, and she initially didn't seem to notice the infernal's presence.

Until she stopped, slowly turned to him as if in a daze, and blinked rapidly at him.

“...Hi. Kinda... ahem. Kinda working through some s*** here, y'know? Uh... felt the urge to improve the wallpaper. Y'know, impulsive s***. I'm fine.”

With that, she turned back to the wall and began softly banging against it once more. She seemed to be weakening (amongst everything else wrong with this picture) by the way that her arms were becoming limp and her movements more sluggish. In short... well, tired. One could practically hear the torrent of chaos swirling about in her head. And judging by her expression, she was getting rather sick of it.

“So... what, Statue Boy? You gonna ask why I up and ditched you like that? Why I turned red as a #$&%ing tomato back there? 'Cause you might as well get that s*** over with now. We only have 364 more #$&%ing days to work it out. Christ...

She sagged now, letting her head fall against the wall for a final time with a last ‘bonk’ as she sighed to herself.

“I... I-I can't #$&%ing deal with all this crap, man. I just can't. #$&%ing... first day an' all this s*** happens...”

Nurse What? the sentence lingered in Oliver's head for just a moment before he spoke "Hi", he greeted sheepishly " Dante tried to possess this werewolf thing with his powers. That's why were here." He recited. "You know, to get him checked out."

Perry, between her shuddering and involuntary sobs, spilled the whole story in broken words. She begged the werewolves to not be angry. All in all, it was a very pitiful sight.

"Please not fight," she kept repeating. "Please not be angry."

At last, she let go of Shane's coat and slumped over on the ground, exhausted, and dropped into a dead sleep.

The cacophony outside still continued. Lucky hopped out of Perry and licked a paw fastidiously, watching over Perry.

"Hello, Miss Nurse." Sally said politely. "Can you help Ellie and Dante and is there any other students or teachers in here?" Sally wanted to make sure everyone was okay and the thought Armada could be there. She fiddled the sides of her dress nervously, waiting for a response. The stress of all that had happened was getting to her.

Hallway

Karl handed Ash her water, then sat with his back against the wall across from her.

He looked down at his hand, which he was just beginning to remember hurt like all hell, then looked back up at her expressionlessly.

He did not know why, but he somehow got the sense that now would be a bad time to talk.

So he decided to listen instead.

Tunnel

After having listening to Perry's story, most of the werewolves weren't sure what to think. Some of them were stupified, unsure of just what should be done to make amends for this tragedy. Others were livid, crouched and snarling liked rabid dogs as they cried out for blood. However, one deft gesture from Orthus was enough to cause their snarling to cease.

"It was not your fault. Nor was it the fault of anyone at this school. Rather, it was ours. Before we came to Super City, I told all of the wolves in the pack not to engage with anyone at Saint Academy under any circumstances. Obviously, it was not enough. Though from what you have described, there may have been more to this than meets the eye. But no. We do not blame you for what has happened. If anyone is to be blamed, it should be us."

Dawn, ...oh, Post-Fight

Something was wrong. The impact felt different. What was...? Dawn's bloodlust lightened up as she assessed the situation. The werewolf was nowhere... but she had shards of ice embedded in her fist... they were everywhere and...

Where did the werewolf go? "...where is he?" Her throat went dry as she clenched her fist harder, staring at the bloody frozen chunks. No... surely not... Sam wasn't with them to do this, how... "Where the fuck is he?!" Dawn stood up, looking around frantically, eyes darting to and fro in an increasing panic. She killed him? She killed him. No, that couldn't be it. But the chunks looked vaguely like parts of that werewolf... they carried a faint smell of blood.

She killed him. She killed him. "...no. No no no no..." Slowly, this titanic woman slumped onto her knees, staring blankly ahead. Her arms went slack and her fists unfurled as she stared at the shattered werewolf. "No... Father, I... I did not mean to..." Slowly, her head looked up as she stared at the man in black standing before her with a stern look. "I'm sorry, I got... I got caught up in the moment, I just wanted to make sure he understood, t-that..." Her voice was meek and deferential, so unlike her and more akin to a child being scolded.

She was talking to no one, of course - just a hallucination from the past that hanged over her like smog and surfaced in times of high stress. "Father... Father, I'm a bad girl... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I'll change, I promise..." She kept mumbling to the air, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Nurse's Office

"What, uh, what they said." Ellie gently set Dante down on the nearest convenient soft surface. "I don't know if his problem is like a physical thing, or a spiritual one. Might need to get Bozo actually now that I think about it but, ah. Oh, right, me too."

Ellie shifted her sleeve away, revealing the bloody bite mark on her arm for the Nurse to inspect. "Werewolf bite. I can't be transformed 'cause I'm a demon, but it still stings a bit. And not in the good way."


Tunnel

Thoughts ran through Mikael's head about what could have caused Perry to cry like that. Someone died? He sincerely hoped not. Were there other wolves? Was Orthus just the distraction? As Perry sobbed out her story, Mikael's head drooped.

At least none of our class was injured. But... to think someone in the class had become a killer... a killer like me...

"I should have been there." He mumbled, barely audible. "Or - or lent Ellie a tranq. I should bear that burden, not them. Never them. I didn't..."

He exhaled, rubbing at his eyes. They'd have to sort that out later. The whole class. He'd take the fall, if he had to, take the blame for attacking the main pack. But that was then. For now, he raised his head and crossed his arms, looking as strong as he ever did, putting aside his doubts and concerns. Kilgore should be here soon, and this whole thing will be over.

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

That was a shift in attitude, Hong Jian thought. Reluctantly, she deactivated her face mask.

"I'm not a werewolf, but I was created different from humans, similar to you. My creator's purpose is to make me kill and subjugate humans..." she shook her head. "I learned too late that I must make a choice to diverge from that past. You were not created to be a killing machine, you have a choice in this matter, so please don't rashly harm anyone, the regrets may be too much to bear."

Shane

Shane watched Perry as she basically spilled the whole story of what happened over there, and the death, the horror, and the fighting. He bit his lip a little, but didn't respond overly much. And then Perry slipped off into sleep - this whole thing it seemed was way too much for her to handle. And Shane...well. He knew how he handled it.

He breathed and looked around - someone needed to get this kid back to her home, and he didn't know which dorm she was in.

He knew it was abnormal, but he didn't feel in the least bit like anything was done wrong there. The werewolf was maddened, completely given in to desire to kill and slaughter, and was therefore killed.

It was done for the basic good of society - structures were preserved, more people were alive as opposed to dead. What was one death compared to 10, 15, however many would result if that creature had not been stopped then and there? Kilgore might've been killed himself even!

He wouldn't have done anything differently himself. Well, as Shane Calston, son of Jason Calston any way. Officially, he had to show some amount of sadness or regret over this. But he couldn't.

He settled for twisting his look into a frown and saying, "This was really fucked up, wasn't it?"

The Dorms

It took Ash a few moments to realise that Karl had moved to sit down near her. And a few moments more for her to register the fact that he hadn't raised any questions at all. If anything, he seemed more... patient. Like he was waiting for her to speak instead.

...Well that was... new.

Looking down at him out of the corner of her eye, she took a few gulps of the water that he had offered her, before putting her back to the wall and flopping down next to him rather roughly. The water spilled, of course—but she didn't care at this point. Instead she just pulled up one knee to rest her arm on and left her other leg outstretched, squishing her used gum onto the wall behind her and popping a fresh stick in her mouth.

“...Some... some #$&%ing day, huh?” she commented, fiddling with another pack before giving up and handing it over to Karl in its half-opened state. As she did so, however, she paused—tilting her head to the side and studying his expressionless face.

“...How do you do that?” she eventually asked him, motioning to his mug. “The whole ‘Statue Boy’ thing, I mean. How d'ya do it?”

She sounded genuinely curious.

Hallway

Karl looked down at Ash. Though he was expressionless as always, he was obviously in deep thought about something.

"I... do not know." he said eventually. "I suppose that it comes naturally to those who belong to my family, that we have difficulty expressing our emotions. Perhaps to us, what is difficult is not hiding what we feel, but rather showing it. I also suspect my upbringing only perpetuated this predisposition, as I think, when I was very young, I do remember occasionally showing emotion. My mother did not much like me doing so..."

He trailed off, still sitting stiffly, back against the wall, and looking at Ash. Despite this, he did seem a bit more... natural. Not relaxed, exactly, but perhaps more human. As if a tiny bit of his wall had been permanently chipped away...

Schoolyard

While everyone was shocked at the sheer horror and tragedy of what happened, something rather odd began to occur. Namely with the frozen werewolf bits. They began to shimmer and shift, almost as if they were somehow unnatural. Suddenly they exploded into several small bursts of dark, shadowy flame before they slowly dimmed, eventually evaropating altogether. In any case, one thing was for certain. Namely that the werewolf Dawn had seemingly killed was anything but. If it had ever been alive.

The Dorms

Ash pursed her lips. So Statue Boy was a lot more literal a nickname than she had anticipated. #$&%. That would explain why she couldn't read him in the slightest; the guy wasn't consciously repressing emotion as much as encouraged to imprison them against his will. Now, she didn't like emotions much herself (the #$&%ers gave her a pounding headache) but even she found herself frowning at this—a mixture of mild indignation and sympathy flickering across her face.

“Dude, that's #$&%ed up. That's like some 1984 type s***. I mean, if you have trouble that's fine—but your own #$&%ing mom gave you s*** for when you did stop being all statue-like? Okay,” she began, shifting slightly so as to face him better and poking him on the nose to make sure she had his full attention. “I need ya to understand how #$&%ed all that is an' I want you to think about whether it's worth it. Now I don't see any other tall pale creepmeisters out here 'cept you, so who's stopping you, uh? I ain't good with that mushy s*** but at least I can say I have a #$&%ing choice. An' I don't wanna see you without that. No one should be #$&%ing without that. It's basic human s***.”

Looking a little short of breath from her mini-speech, she flopped back down again, sipping the last remaining millimetres of water left in her cup before setting it down beside her. She seemed to be in thought for a moment or two, momentarily frozen up—before turning back to him in a decidedly more hesitant fashion, her voice having dropped significantly in volume and softened in tone considerably to match.

“Y'know... I-I could help you, if you want... like with... well with anything. I just... ah #$&% I'm so #$&%ing bad at this...” she muttered, momentarily putting her head in her hands before regaining her composure. “What I mean to say is... if you got anything botherin' you—an' I mean anything—don't be afraid to come see me. I know I said I ain't good at mushy s*** nearly about as much as I've cussed but I can sure as hell listen. Unpopular opinion's still another opinion, y'know? But uh... do get better friends as well. I know I ain't the most... uh, easy person to get along with most of the time...”

Rollo had stayed behind at the wrecked scene to join in the funeral dirge. But then something strange happened. The werewolf disappeared in puffs of shadow! Sniffing the area cautiously, Rollo couldn't figure out what the thing was. It smelled alive one second, then it smelled like nothing.

He melded into the shadow of a bush.


Rollo stepped out of a crack in the tunnel and licked Perry awake. They stared at each other, apparently communicating.

Perry, without getting up, explained in further confusing terms what had happened. Her mind was a bit addled by the exhaustion and fresh grief. Her broken way of speaking did not help.

Rollo joined Lucky in watching over Perry. Pip flew in and cocked his head. Little Jaqcues the snake curled around Perry's shoulers protectively, and Johnny the cockatoo screeched outside for the wailing to stop. And it did.

Dead silence.

Alex peaked back over at the werewolf. It just... vanished into black mist? What the hell was going on? Was this even a real living thing? Argh!

"What's going on?!"

"What's going on?!"

All of a sudden, Alex's male and female forms were present at the same time, even saying the same words at the same time. Why this was happening, nobody knows. But it seemed stress and confusion was causing their power to manifest in an unusual fashion.

"Huh." Well, none of this took away from the urgency of group training sessions. Only now they'd probably have to follow more therapy. After the group had tripped over each others' moves yet again Dawn ended up shattering Teenwolf into bite sized chunks. And...Alex was the first to cry. Huh. She'd been watching Dawn's routine, caught between the 'slap her' and 'kill it' presets when the 'werewolf' bits exploded and evaporated. "Huh."

Mahvash appeared before Alex, offering a handkerchief. She would not be caught in a hug when they were still potentially in the middle of a wolf migration. About that... She did not slap Alex but did put a firm hand on Alex's shoulder. "That just happened, yes. Now, please focus. We're still outside in the middle of whatever is going on and have only found one teacher. Could you please take Dawn back?"

Error: Werewolf.exe Not Found - Felicity "Fluffy" Shepherd

Like before, Felicity felt just a step behind in the going ons around her, the wolf shattering and sending near everyone (daevas excepted) into panic and horror. Felicity herself was frozen in shock - that is until the wolf chunks began to suddenly ignite and burn themselves out of existence. Something was obviously wrong here.

Instinctively the ice prison Felicity had formed melted back into ice then wrapped around the remains of the "wolf" before they all disappeared similarly, enclosing and freezing again to make sure that if it were a real and material existence it wouldn't escape, not completely. If it was some form of illusion, this would be to no avail, but it would mean whoever projected it was praying upon the students' insecurities. And likely watching at that moment.

Felicity would let herself get caught up in bewilderment and speculation later, however. A frozen dome encased where the werewolf remains would've been and Felicity's eyes vigilantly darted all around her surroundings, trying to find something or someone out of place in the environment.
