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.

"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."

[shakemyhand]

Guide pauses at that last remark and then places his hand on her chest above her heart, setting the claws in her skin, a moment and the enzyme would be released into her bloodstream, and the pull on her life force would begin.

Daniel flinches at the claws digging into her chest, that had to hurt.

[psychowolf]

The claws dob't bother her, she's been shot, stabbed, and worse. but when the enzyme hits it's like nothing she has experienced before. The pain shoots through her whole body. Her hair goes grey and wrinkles until her heart stops and her body goes limp.

Clay watching and he can hear when her heart stops. "She's dead." the werewolf says calmly and without accusation.

[shakemyhand]

Her life force is blinding and strong, stronger even than that of Shepherd's. He watches her whither, but only just slightly, which he finds strange. He feels her heart slowing, and finally stop. He steps back from this woman with an exhalation. Her life coursing through him.

"Well, that was disturbing," says Daniel, "Do you think she's really immortal?"

[psychowolf]

"She's says she is. And told us to give her time to recover."

After a few moments there are little lightening bolts all over her body, including her face. As the lightening moves across her face the wrinkles smooth out. And after that her eyes open as she takes a sharp inhale.

Clay's eyebrow goes up. This just isn't right in his opinion.

[shakemyhand]

That was just strange. Guide watches with interest. That explains how blinding her life force is.

"Remarkable," he breaths between his teeth.

Daniel is just speechless.

[psychowolf]

After seeing this woman go through and understand that she did it for her Pack, whatever her Pack may be, he can respect that, he walks over to her and offers a hand to help her up.

She takes the hand and gets up.

[shakemyhand]

"Thank you," says Guide with a bow of his head. The white hair falls about his face only a whisper on the leather of his coat, "You name does you justice."

"So, you really are immortal. Does the you know." Daniel makes a cutting motion across his neck.

[psychowolf]

Amanda smiles to Guide and then frowns at Daniel, "You doubted me? And that is personal." and she looks over towards Clay who is just standing watching the group.

Clay doesn't miss the motion or her reaction

[shakemyhand]

"Huh," says Daniel, "Well, I'm gonna go get some coffee."

He stands up with his notebook and data pad. He walks back in the bar.

Guide watches him go back into the bar. "Are you well?"

He's found out that even with the retrovirus those who had been fed on were usually very tired and sore afterwards.

[psychowolf]

Amanda gives a good stretch, "Yes I am. Though I think I could go for a cup of coffee."

Clay's stomach growls, he's just come back from a run in the city and he hasn't eaten since breakfast. "Where do we get food?"

[shakemyhand]

"Ask the Bar," says Guide feeling much better, "I hear the food is quite good."

He looks at his blood cover claws and hand mouth. There she is looking fresh and new as ever, her blood literally on his hand. He shakes his head and then realizes again the non-human feel of this man''s being. "

What are you?" He asks squinting at the man in the sun.
