We're all someone's dog.

The door opens slowly to a dark sewer, three men, a gonne, and a dead wolf, lying bleeding in the water. The echoes of the gonne are still fading, bouncing off tunnel walls over and over, and none of the men notice the door

Allie's actually been downstairs, off and on, partially hidden by a potted plant from full view of the room.

But she squeaks at the noise when the door opens, and when she sees Angua...

"What happened?"

It's sort of blurted awkwardly, but... well, Allie isn't used to socializing with anyone but Bender.

[nightwatchwolf]

Angua's a little in shock. It's actually pretty common when people die.

Of course, being a werewolf, she's a little hard to kill, but for all she knows, the man with the gonne had some silver...

"I think I died." She looks back over her shoulder - the door is still open, and there she is... well, as a wolf... and Vimes and the other man are gone and Carrot's leaning down to pick her up... Yes, she's definitely dead.

[bcofthebc]

Allie peeks out the door. Her eyes go wide, and she starts to take a step towards it. "No. No, you're just... you're just hurt and there's people who can fix it here, right? There's gotta be... you're here, you can't be dead!"

Freaking out? Yeah, a little.

[nightwatchwolf]

She turns back to Allie and sees her wide eyes, sees that she's panicking a little. Angua gently closes the door behind her so she doesn't have to see.

"I think if I were just hurt I'd be back there... It's okay. It only hurt for a second."

Xander is walking in from outside, with yes, pizza. He's not really paying attention to anything, which is why he nearly walks into Angua on his way through the lobby.

"Ack! Sorry, pizza is-..." Xander stares. He's not very observant, but he can still see that her expression is not of the good. "Are you all right?"

[nightwatchwolf]

Angua blinks at him, still trying to process what had just happened. She hadn't even been thinking, jumping in front of the gonne, she just... had to make sure Carrot was safe.

"I got hit. With the gonne." She pauses, remembering the sight of herself, as a wolf, lying dead in the sewer. "I think I might have died. Only if it was silver, but..."

Maybe someone had caught on. Maybe someone found out there was a werewolf in the Watch. Maybe someone had been prepared.

[xandtheman]

"Died?" Xander blinks at her, unsure if he can believe her, because she looks so very alive. Sure, it happens in the Inn, but everyone he's met has already been dead. Not gone from alive to dead. "Seriously? You're... you just died? Do... you want to sit down or something?"

[nightwatchwolf]

"Yes, please," she says, a little weakly. It's a bit of a shock, is all. She'll probably get over eventually - she can get over a lot of stuff, when she puts her mind to it. But just now, sitting seems like a good idea.

There is a puppy sitting nearby, in a booth.

By 'puppy,' of course, the narration means 'big-ass black mongrel.'

It is staring at the sight outside the door, and whimpering sympathetically.

[nightwatchwolf]

Angua glances over to the dog as she closes the door. He doesn't smell quite like a dog, but she's not entirely sure what to make of it. Her brain isn't quite capable of dealing with figuring these things out just now.

She just died. Give her a break.

[scorching_black]

Poor Angua.

Mercifully, the dog leaps off the booth, changing into Sirius as his feet hit the floor.

"I say, Miss, are you quite all right?"

[nightwatchwolf]

She blinks a little at that, but after you've been shot and killed, it's hard to surprise you much. She decides to take it in stride.

"I'm... okay. I think. It's just... I might be dead."
