Query 2: [OPEN COMMENTLOG]

[Poor, poor residents of Deck 7. It had been such a nice, quiet day, too. Bennett had been enjoying it-- the pain medication he and Herz had found had pretty much knocked him out most of the afternoon

[Mikaela isn't having a very good day. Someone she truly cared about disappeared, and she's pretty sure she fractured her hand punching a mirror. Her temper is short, and she's moody and depressed.

Uninterested in staying in her room, her travels take her listlessly about the ship. She has no idea she's on deck 7, she's only going where her feet take her. She's absolutely oblivious to any danger.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[There's another howl just around the corner from the hallway she's in. Are you sure you want to go much farther, Mikaela?]

[chopshopgoddess]

[That does snap her out of it]

...Uh.

There a dog around here?

[It's muttered to herself, but she creeps up to the hallway, and peeks around the corner.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[The Wolf comes careening around the corner at top speed. Conveniently, there's a woman there-- it lunges, preparing to tackle her to the ground.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[HOLY FREAKIN-!

She yelps and stumbles back, but she's not much match for a WOLF, especially with no convenient buzz saw or vehicle to hotwire. She goes down under him like a sack of potatoes.]

Get off!

[Trying to kick at the underbelly, here.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[Sorry, Mikaela, that's not going to work; the beast weighs as much as Bennett did, a good one hundred and thirty-something pounds, it's not going to be moved so easily.

Bennett realizes that the voice sounds familiar just as the wolf tries to sink its fangs into Mikaela's shoulder.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[...It's trying to bite her. It wants to CHEW ON HER oh eff that.]

Knock it off-!

[She's currently trying to sock you in the nose, Bennett.

What is wrong with this ship.]

....keywords are appropriate 8|

[nowlycanthropic]

[Its head pitches to the side with Mikaela's blow-- it does nothing but make it angrier. Good job. It lashes out again, this time attempting to clamp down on her forearm before she can withdraw it for another strike.]

...oops

[chopshopgoddess]

[Oooh, she landed her hit! Nice.

Except he's going for her arm now crap crap crap. She flails mentally and physically, thrashing violently just to make this as difficult as possible. She can feel his teeth graze her arm and she shouts, then draws her other hand back to aim for the eyeballs.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[It can take a punch, that's not going to be a problem-- it squeezes its eyes shut and Bennett is thankful for the reprieve, he doesn't have to see whatever the beast is doing even for a moment-- but he can feel the jaws clamp down. Bennett prays that they miss her arm and just snap down on air.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[Mikaela's luck can only take her so far, and she can only thrash so much under the weight of something that's definitely heaver than her.

She screams when she feels those jaws clamp down on her arm.

OW.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[This isn't fair to anyone involved, Bennett decides. The wolf yanks its head to the side in an attempt to tear the flesh-- it doesn't need much, just enough contact with her blood, and it'll be satisfied. It wants another cry out of her before it thinks about leaving her to bleed.]

[chopshopgoddess]

[Mikaela is in complete agreement with that.

He also gets his secondary shriek - having her arm completely mutilated like that is definitely going to elicit a reaction.]

[nowlycanthropic]

[Jaws unclench as fast they snapped shut and the wolf snorts at her. Its job is done-- it runs off down the hall, leaving Mikaela to bleed on the floor. Enjoy that!]
