I apologise for the delay in this promised announcement. I hope it didn't cause anyone anxiety, or further misconceptions.
[In either lifetime, this feels like the strangest thing he's ever done. This has always been the thing to hide, to want to deny. …Different world. Different rules. Adapt and deal with it.]
My name is Remus Lupin. On my world, I suffered from a condition known as lycanthropy. Also known as werewolfism. It involved my involuntary transformation on full moons, the most dangerous aspect of which was the loss of my human mind: memories, sanity and control.
In Anatole, this condition appears to have changed. It is no longer linked to the moon, no longer involuntary, and no longer insanity-inducing.
However, with the onset of the current crisis, I feared a relapse, which is why I did not try to refute accusations.
Last night I was voluntarily detained in a prison cell. My cooperation was officiated by Policing Division Commander Kuchiki and Vash-san. I spent the night under constant surveillance by Officer Standfast.
Unfortunately, the killings continued elsewhere in the city during the night.
Fortunately, I can officially announce that I am not the beast in question, and I no longer suffer from the condition known as Lycanthropy, as defined by its dangerous and involuntary symptoms.
I would like to offer my services, and what I may now call my "abilities"-
[brief disbelieving smile. Never thought he'd call it that; never not think of it as a plague]
-in locating and combating the true culprit. I believe I can provide some advantage in this regard.
I thank everyone who offered me support and assistance over the last few days, and would be honoured to join you in the attempt.
Io. Hope. Vash. Byakuya. Sakura. Jim. I'm especially in your debt and at your service.
[[OOC: And please let me know if I used an incorrect address/title for your character, and I will with great speediness correct it!
Anyone want to team up and head
