[A. 339 Brady Lane]

[It's a lovely Saturday; the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and Mika Whitepaws is holding a box addressed to her! What is it? What could it be? She turns it over in her hands, looking surprised, then shakes it a little to see if she can hear anything rattling inside. No, the box makes no noise, and it's small and ( Read more... )

[Quinn thought he heard something weird going on outside, and he was right. Talk about a scary and confusing scene.]

Whoa! Mika, are you--?

Quinn?

[She cocks her head to look at him over her shoulder, her ears twitching toward him. Her arms trembling, she slowly pushes herself to her feet, only to have her right leg almost buckle as soon as she puts her weight on it.]

H-Hey now, take it easy. [He gently tries to help her up, arm around her waist.] Think ya can manage? Let's get ya in on the couch.

[She's mostly muscle and bone now, all those chubby curves long gone now. Mika wheezes softly, a rasp in her voice and the very fresh scars on her throat are a clear reason why.]

Yeah, I'm fine. My right leg's just a bit weak, is all. Hellbeast got me in the ghost town, nearly chewed it off.

Don't mind the help, though.

[She glances down at the photo in her hand and sighs. It's a photo from sometime after she was found in the basement of the haunted house. One that she knew had never been taken.]

This town has a hell of a sense of humor, Quinn.

Tell me about it. C'mon, one step at a time. Maybe I oughta drive you to the hospital.

[He'll walk her slowly inside. He gets a good look at the ears too, as they do.] So ya really weren't kiddin' with all the wolf references, huh.

Sounds like it might be a good idea.

[Her ears droop and she whines softly, the limp in her right leg noticeable. There's a band of pale fur across the back of both ears, and it appears that both ears have been pierced twice.]

Not at all. If you think that's bad, you should see my roommate. She's a snake.

'S alright. Seems pretty common in this town. So far, I know two wolves, a tiger, a shark and a... whatever the heck Daniel is.

[Setting her down on the couch now.] Alight. Catch your breath. Ya want me to call an ambulance, or do ya think ya can make it to the car in a bit?

Don't think I know who Daniel is, yet.

[She sinks into the couch, sprawling out and panting as she tips her head back.]

I don't care, whatever's easiest is fine. Give me a moment, I should be able to make it to the car.

Alright. I'm gonna go get it up as close to the door as I can. Hang in there, darlin'. [Off he goes, and will be back in a minute or two.]

[When he comes back, Mika will actually be hanging up the phone.]

Sounds like a couple of my coworkers want to come and poke at me a bit. Think we should wait for them here first?

Probably a better idea than drone doctors. But we can always see what they say and move ya to the hospital if need be.

Yeah.

[She grits her teeth and hisses a little as she tries to get into a more comfortable position, her fangs gleaming. An awkward laugh escapes her and her tail flops against the couch cushions.]

I'd almost completely forgotten how much this had hurt.

I can honestly say I ain't ever had the privilege of seein' a hellbeast, but I can imagine it's nothin' cuddly and friendly. Ya need anythin' till they her here?

Eh, it's not the bite wounds that are bothering me, those are several years old now. It's the bullet holes that I'm worried about.

Ah...

[She thinks, her ears drooping as Mika rests her head on the back of the couch.]

I can't think of anything that doesn't involve a ridiculously large amount of pain killers.

That and some bed rest might be all ya can do.

Probably. I don't think I'll be going to work much for this next week.
