So... fellow kidapped citizens of Paradisa?

How's it going? Good? Is this place better or worse than home?

Speaking of home, do you have shapeshifter lore and myths specific to your world? Like werewolves? If you do, what's it like? And if you do have werewolves- do they only turn during the full moon, can they change at will?

What other kinds are there?

Interested minds would really love knowing.

It's much better here.

And yeah, we've got like movies and shit about werewolves, but they don't actually exist.

[imalwaysright]

Significantly less war?

I'm guessing that's how it is most places, but I could be wrong.

Dictated forever

We have werewolves where I come from. They can change whenever they want, but when it's a full moon, they turn wolf for the whole night if they want to or not.

We also have some who are wolves most of the time and turn into humans on a full moon. It varies.

[imalwaysright]

Huh, I've never heard about it going from human to wolf, but never the other way around. Do they get bloodthirsty or more likely to kill during the full moon, or are they people who just happen to be wolves and vice versa?

[mal_addict]

From my experience with werewolves, and trust me when I say I keep it to a minimum, if they're going to be the bloodthristy sort, it doesn't matter if it's a full moon or not.

That said, I hear they get moodier towards a full moon.

[schrodingersghost]

I met one.

[imalwaysright]

You did?

What were they like?

[schrodingersghost]

Nice guy. Not big on conversation and kind of overaffectionate sometimes.

[imnot_likeyou]

Well, you have your standard shapeshifter, who takes the shape of other people. They tend to shift at will and can't really hold one person's face for very long before they have to shed the skin and start over again.

Then there's skinwalkers, who turn into dogs. They like to munch on human hearts, but they can shift at will too.

But where I'm from, werewolves can only turn on the full moon. They're on the human heart diet too.

[imalwaysright]

Seriously? Sounds like serious nightmare fuel you've got going on back home.

What's with the human heart thing? Does it go for all supernatural canines or what?

[imnot_likeyou]

[there's a pause]

Nah. Hellhounds just like to rip things apart -- they don't really have specific organs in mind.

[likethetragedy]

It's better here. [Onto the next subject.] Werewolves are supposedly change on full moons according to movies and books. Admittedly I've never looked into it.

[imalwaysright]

Huh, well, I didn't think a whole lot of people had. I'm just wanted to know if they existed anywhere and what they're like.

[likethetragedy]

Why? [Because interested minds have to get interested somehow.]

[ino]

Most people I know can "shape-shift", sort of. But no, I don't think we have werewolves.

[imalwaysright]

What's with the quotation marks?

[ino]

Well, it's not real shape-shifting. It's more of an illusion thing.

[luthored]

Still with the werewolves.

[imalwaysright]

There's nothing wrong with having hobbies.

[luthored]

That's a pretty specific hobby. I guess it was my fault for assuming it was the Paradisa effect.

[ Just assuming he's the most tactless werewolf ever. Because this is Paradisa and where there are vampires... ]

What got you into it?

[untilmydarknessgoes]

We got werewolves in Mystic Falls. They're forced to change during the full moon unlike hybrids. Hybrids are 50% werewolf, 50% vampire and 100% full pains in the ass.

[imalwaysright]

... There are hybrids of werewolves and vampires? I thought they generally avoided the hell out of each other.

[ Oh gross you are one of the people she was trying to keep him away from. ]

You're being helpful.

[hellshaped]

Mostly they're just crazy people who run around on all fours snapping at children.

[imalwaysright]

That sounds less like werewolves and more like people who need psychiatric help.
