ACTION

[technohap]

[There's a blinking red light coming towards you out of the darkness. It's very high up and you don't know where it's coming from. Then you see this. A HAP (aka werewolf) wearing an electronic collar with a blinking red light. What will you do?

Henry whines slightly, painfully aware of his current state and his inability to transform into his usual one.]

Comments

[heloise]

[ Lucrezia is headed to the lobby, an illuminated manuscript and a snuffed out candle in her hand, so she has resorted to feeling the walls. The blinking red light seemed like a beacon of hope and she quickens her steps until it faintly outlines a rather monstrous figure.

She doesn't scream, gagging herself with her free hands instead, now that her book and candle tumble to the floor. She might have noticed that whine if she isn't so scared for her life. ]

[technohap]

[Henry takes a step forward, wanting to comfort her but it doesn't take him long before he realises how scared she must be. It makes him torn, unsure, confused. So he just stops and waits, trying his best not to look threatening, even if this form doesn't help much.]

[heloise]

[ With his one step forward, she stumbles back against the wall with a gasp.

She would shut her eyes so she wouldn't have to watch the creature lunge at her--only he doesn't, so she simply holds her breath and stares at him, unblinking. A second feels like forever. ]

[technohap]

[Henry watches her sadly, wishing he could explain. And he would if he could transform. But he can't so he just doesn't move or do anything to scare her further.]

[heloise]

[ She thinks she must have turned quite blue from holding her breath. Perhaps the monster doesn't see her as prey, and maybe-- ] Are you--tame?

[technohap]

[Not exactly but it's close enough considering he can't correct her. So he nods, the red light dipping and rising to prove his point. He doesn't want to hurt her.]

[mal_addict]

[At least Maladict can see in the dark, she's none too happy to see Henry, though]

Oh wonderful. We have a werewolf now. There goes the neighbourhood.

[technohap]

[Henry recognises Maladict. It's hard not to when you've had to kiss them! He growls non-threateningly as a greeting but says nothing more.]

[mal_addict]

[Mal keeps an eye on him, remaining tense] Right, growl growl, howl howl, great conversation piece.

[technohap]

[Henry rolls his eyes. He doesn't need this. If he wanted to be insulted, he'd find Tesla. Perhaps he should go and find him. At least then he'd know who he was dealing with.]

[mal_addict]

[Maladict waves a hand in a shooing motion]

Go on, bugger off.

[technohap]

[Oh he will. He's just tempted to try something else. But he decides against it.]

Action

[demontobeloved]

[The corridor flares with a brilliant white light for a second as Cole Turner orbs into view.

He stands there for a second, before a dull orb of light forms in his hand and he casts it out in front of him]

Hello? Anyone here?

Action

[technohap]

[Growl. Henry growls in response. What else can he do?]

[demontobeloved]

[A growl? Uh oh. Cole takes another step, unable to see much past his orb's light]

Someone there?

[technohap]

[Another growl. Yes someone is there. Someone you know! But he can't tell you that.]

[demontobeloved]

[Cole sends his orb ahead of him, walking a bit cautiously, until the light shows...]

Well, well.

[technohap]

[Henry growls the hello again, not expecting Cole to understand but that's still no reason not to be polite.]

[noblefive]

[And there's someone walking the halls, pausing every now and then. The figure stands 7'8"...

And swearing every time he stops.]

[technohap]

[Henry's very curious of the figure coming towards him so he starts towards him. The red light of his collar still blinking.]

[noblefive]

[Pause. Jorge tenses. He hears something, his heightened senses going crazy...

Apart from his sight. His suit's night vision sensors were static-y at best. He does spot that blinking red light, though.]

Identify yourself.

[technohap]

[All Henry can do is growl his name though he doesn't hold out much hope that the other can understand him.]

[noblefive]

[The translation circuits in his helmet don't know HAP, Henry]

What the-?

[Jorge takes a step back, dropping into a defensive stance. If only he had a weapon.]

[vampirize]

[What to do? Sigh in frustration and turn your head towards the blinking light in front of you as if this is somehow making you unable to do some insanely important thing, of course.]

If this is some sort of prank, I have to say I'm not very amused-

[Oh. Wait a second. Tesla sniffs slightly, peering at the familiar-looking shape standing in front of his prison.]

...A HAP?

[technohap]

[Have a growl Tesla. He's not just any HAP. And if you don't know it, then you're not the genius you claim to be.]
