A Professor Wolf Walks in the door

[psychowolf]

Clay takes the stairs in his building two at a time, frustrated that he doesn't feel any less restless than before his run. Every fall it's the same and even worse, this year he has to be away from home. He opens the door to his apartment but instead of his apartment there is a bar at the end of the universe. There is a moment of shock and confusion, his senses assaulted by all of the smells of this place. In that moment the door shuts behind him.

He turns and tries to open the door, his pulls getting more forceful and a bit panicked, not that he would admit that last part.

The tall muscular professor is wearing shorts and a t-shirt which show his physique. Not that you would know he is a professor by looking at him.

Comments

[psychowolf]

Clay tenses and a small growl breaks out from deep in his throat at the mention of being bound.

"How do I get unbound?"

[shakemyhand]

"That is between you and the Bar," explains Daniel.

"And this happens to many people?" asks Guide almost academically.

[psychowolf]

Clay is curious about the answer to that question too. So he waits for the answer.

[shakemyhand]

Daniel shrugs, "I guess. I've been bound here before."


"Why?" asks Guide.

"Uh, well, I don't know," says Daniel apologetically, "It just seems random."

[psychowolf]

"Well then what is this place?" he doesn't like random. If he is stuck here he needs to understand this place to navigate it.

[shakemyhand]

"Milliways Bar," says Daniel, "It's the Bar at the end of the universe. You can watch it exploding out that window over there."

He's pointing at the observation window.

Guide bares his teeth and growls, he really doesn't like that window.

[psychowolf]

Clay looks towards the window and reacts much like Guide. This is not comforting.

"How did I get here?" Is someone coming after the Pack, getting him out of the way.

[shakemyhand]

Guide looks at the man, he seems much more like a Wraith than anyone else he's met here.

"The Bar took over your door," explains Daniel.

[psychowolf]

"And what am I supposed to do here?" his irritable mood is coming back.

[shakemyhand]

Daniel shrugs, "I tend to get a lot of work done here. Or get coffee... take it easy. Do you like fishing?"

Guide laughs slightly. He might be able to find a sparing partner here, or just explore. "There are many things to find here."

[psychowolf]

"Well I was taken after a run, I don't have any of my work with me." all of his research is back at school. Perhaps, "Is there anyplace to workout? And where am I supposed to sleep? And eat?"

[shakemyhand]

"There is a gym here," says Daniel, "And you can order food from the Bar and the rats. There are also rooms to rent."

Guide hisses as his hand mouth spasms. His hunger was growing, burning in his chest. But it isn't as bad as it had been when he was starving.

"Guide are you okay?" asks Daniel.

"I will be fine," Guide says through his teeth, "I was just about to enter the feeding chamber."

Daniel's eyebrows raise above his glasses, "I take it then, you're hungry."

Guide nods his head.

"Well, that complicates things."

[psychowolf]

Amanda overhears, "Well I say." she comes over and sits down with the men.

Clay glares at the woman. Humans are so inappropriate. And his foul mood overrides his better judgement as usual, "It's rude to ease-drop."

Amanda turns to the newcomer, "You don't know what Guide eats do you?"

[shakemyhand]

Ah this one. She Who Must Be Loved. He bows his head at her slightly.

Daniel looks on amused and leans over to mutter at Clay, "Wraith live in a matriarchal society. Also, seriously, this is probably a good thing."

[psychowolf]

Clay gives him a why is this a good thing look.

Amanda inclines her head in return, "What do you say we take this meeting outside so you can get something to eat?" yes, she is offering.

"Why outside?" Clay asks.

[shakemyhand]

"Because security frowns on violent acts in the Bar," explains Daniel, "Actually, the back is pretty nice."

Guide nods his head and stands up towering over everyone. Then looking at Amanda, "Are you certain? The pain will be immense."

[psychowolf]

Amanda stands and nods, "Yes, I'm not a fan of pain but as I said before. Better me then someone it might kill."

Clay stands up listening intently at the exchange between the two. He will follow them. He has nothing better to do.

[shakemyhand]

Guide moves towards the back door, the skirts of his long leather jacket whispering about his ankles.

Daniel follows with his notebook and data pad. He falls in step next to Clay.

"See, he's what we call a Wraith," explains Daniel, "They are a species of alien in the Pegasus Galaxy that survive on the life force of humans. Amanda here claims to be an immortal, and that it won't kill her, so she's offered to feed him when he needs it."

[psychowolf]

Clay nods as Daniel explains. Though he isn't happy to learn about aliens and immortals. Even being a werewolf this is just strange.

Amanda walks out the back door to the green meadow, forest, and lake.

[shakemyhand]

Guide's eyes are contracted to threads and he is squinting in the bright sunlight. He strides to a nearby pick-nick table and stops.

[psychowolf]

Clay steps outside and is amazed at what he see's. His senses enjoy the outdoors.

Amanda walks over to the table.

Clay's attention returns to the table to learn more about these Wraith.

[shakemyhand]

Guide looks down at the woman.

"You may want to sit," he says.

Daniel take his own seat at the table, he's actually rather interested in watching Guide feed.

[psychowolf]

Amanda listens to him and sits down, bracing herself.

Clay stays standing, arms crossed, watching intently.

[shakemyhand]

Guide towers over her his handmouth throbbing it's lips pulled apart revealing the faintly glowing membrane within, "Are you sure?"

[immortalthief]

Amanda nods, "I'm as sure as I'll ever be." she smiles, though her body tenses up in preparation for the pain. But does add, "In case I do die, give me a little bit to recover."
