☽ 004 [ Full Moon ] -- Action.

[lupinotuum]

[ A lone howl rips through the silence of the forest, a long, bone-chilling howl that sends shivers down your spine at the very sound. A dark creature lurks in the woods tonight, neither fully wolf nor human, but a strange and terrifying sort in-between. He is huge and covered in tawny fur, all teeth and claws as sharp as daggers. Gone is the human mind of Remus Lupin, for tonight, Moony reigns king.

He stands rigid under a pool of moonlight, maw lifted to the sky to drink in the scents and sounds drifting on the cold, night air. His plumed tail stands high, the tip twitching as his body hums with nervous excitement. The faint scent of man drifts past, awakening a familiar hunger deep in his bones. Moony is ultimately distracted, though, by the unfamiliarity of his surroundings. This is not the forest he is accustomed to, the trees feel too different. Claws scrape anxiously at the snow under his paws and he croons low. New place. New place.

Moony lifts himself up on his hind-legs, ears pressing back against his skull as he howls again, this time louder and more confident than his last. This shall be his domain.

Enter the forest at your own peril, for Moony will not recognize friend from prey... ]


(ooc: Feel free to encounter Moony if you wish, but please be warned that he will attack without hesitation. Animals will not be harmed unless they pose a direct threat to him, though. Marauders! Please feel free to jack any thread you feel like!)

[ Arya startles and falls back. She's quick on her feet again and moving away. Leaving Needle in her belt, she draws the sword Tony made her and turns it on. ]

What sort of wolf is that?!

[lupinotuum]

[ Moony lets out a pained yelp the moment Bunny's foot makes contact with his head. He's forced off-balance, sending him to the ground with a thud. The werewolf recovers quickly though and he pushes himself back up, snarling at Bunnymund. His hackles rise, the fur on his back standing on end.
He begins to pace back and forth, eyes never leaving Bunnymund's frame as he tries to look for an opening around him. ]

[ A snarl rends the air from behind Moony, as Padfoot finally catches up. He's confused by the rabbit, but the little girl's presence is more than enough reason to intervene. He lunges to place himself between Bunnymund and Moony, taking up a defensive stand facing his friend and growling in warning.

Moony no kill. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[There were way too many dogs in this place for Bunny's liking. His eyes remain locked on the bigger one. The wolf? Whatever it is. But still, he moves closer to Arya]

Best get out of here little brumby that thing means business, whatever it is.

[wolfchild]

[ She's edging back before he talks. Cautiously for the moment, to avoid causing alarm.

Which is when Bunny's wish of MORE DOGS comes true as a massive direwolf jumps in front of Arya. She faces Moony, fangs bared in a violent snarl.

...that threw the cautious plan to the seventh hell. ]

Nymeria! Come!

[ Arya turns and flees, praying to the old gods and the new Nymeria will actually listen this time. ]

[lupinotuum]

[ Padfoot's sudden appearance forces Moony to lower his head, his ears laying flat. He snarls softly, fangs still bared and tail slashing back and forth. Moony is conflicted to say the very least. His instincts dictate that he should attack, for no one stands between a werewolf and his prey, but the human part of his mind is screaming for him to stand down. He growls and chances a step forward, ignoring the voice like he would a fly.

The girl's voice is what triggers another bout of blood-lust.

The moment she calls for her wolf and turns to flee, Moony snarls and tries to leap around Padfoot and Bunnymund, not wanting his prey to get away from him. ]

[heirofficium]

[ Padfoot growls in reply, trying to keep between Arya and Moony.

Moony retreat no kill

When he leaps forward, though, Padfoot lunges to stop him, making to tackle Moony to the ground. He can't let him get to the girl.

Moony bad! Moony no kill! Moony attack bad! ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny is even less willing to let that thing hurt Arya. That would be a giant six foot rabbit landing on your back, Moony, pulling out a serrated boomerang, which might as well be a knife for what it can do]

You'd best behave yourself, mate, This is your last warning.

[wolfchild]

[ Arya almost turns around. She's quite had it with people dying for her. If Rabbit gets hurt, it'll all be her fault again. She's a bad luck charm and it's always everyone around her that ends up hurt. It's not fair.

But when she tries Nymeria blocks her way. For once, the direwolf bares her fangs at her. When Arya tries to get past her, Nymeria snaps at Arya's elbow. ]

What is wrong with you?!

[ Surprise keeps her moving away. The direwolf takes advantage and herds the girl further from the animals. ]

[lupinotuum]

[ Moony just barely manages to evade Padfoot's attempt to tackle him, but he's forced off-balance and the moment he feels the Rabbit's weight on his back, he tumbles to the ground with a bone-crunching thud.

His mind flashes with white-hot pain, cutting through the bloodlust like a sharp knife. He snarls as he tries to struggle, tries to remove the pressure the Rabbit's weight puts on him, but the sudden feel of a serrated edge against the back of his neck stops him.

Fear courses through him, the girl entirely forgotten, and he looks to Padfoot desperately, whimpering wolf-words to him.

Moony hurt. Mate help. ]

[heirofficium]

[ WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT. MATE WHAT. Sirius rears back a little, not sure how to react at first. But Remus is whimpering, and the panic that causes overrides his hesitation quickly.

He barks at Bunnymund, pawing at the large rabbit urgently.

Moony not bad. No hurt friend. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[The dog's reaction is the only thing that stops Bunnymund going in for the kill, really. It gives him a moment to look at the dog - streuth he hates dogs - before glancing down at the beast]

What's wrong with you?

[lupinotuum]

[ Moony whimpers softly as he feels the Rabbit pause and his ears prick forward momentarily before they flatten against his skull once more. Anxiously, he claws at the snow beneath his paws, wanting so badly to run, to be safe with Padfoot by his side. The human side of his mind is panicking, overriding the bloodlust and Moony snorts and tries to push it back.

No kill, no kill. ]
