WHO:
allthesame2me and YOU [OPEN]
WHEN: Dusk
WHERE: Throughout the Keep
Alex had been getting tenser and tenser throughout the past few days, and he was perfectly aware of the reason; the moon was nearly full, after all. When the full moon broke above the horizon, there was nothing he could do but ride it out in the cover of the woods. At least in the woods, he would be safely away from everyone and able to run the course of his change without endangering anyone. It had worked his first moon here at the Keep, so he'd had little in the way of concerns.
However, life had this way of throwing wrenches into ones' plans in life, and as things would have it Alex hadn't prepared as well as he would have back at home. He'd not particularly payed the best of attention during his last moon, as he;d been new to the Keep. He'd not realized that he'd shifted a good degree earlier than the full rising of the moon. He wasn't at home, after all, and assuming things worked the same .. Well, that never worked out well for anyone, did it?
No, it seemed that the simple hint of dusk was enough to trigger off the forced shift that Alex underwent every month. Only, instead of being outside the Keep walls and in the middle of the woods where he intended on being, he was just climbing out of the thermal pools where he'd been hoping to ease his pre-shift tension. This was not to be had, the mistake realized too late as the shift began to take over his body. There was not time enough to get from the Keep, the change sweeping over his form like a fire catching over tinder, burning its course without pause or feeling.
With a cry that changes from human to a feline yowl of anger, the young man known as Alex is gone for the evening. A short sharp shake of it shoulders sends rivulets of water flying all over as the leopard steps the remaining step from the pool of hot water. A soft growl slips past its lips and it pads out of the room, already feeling the rise of hunger.
He slips silently into the Keep proper, the closed off place of refuge now becoming his own personal hunting grounds.
