There you are, you mangy mutt! You owe me a pair of pants

[The wolf's growls sound like thunder.]

[He bares his fangs at Junpei, the front half of his body low to the ground, hackles raised.]

[Though it was playing before, the fight turned suddenly serious. Especially with the addition of Hermes.]

[Sinewy muscles tense under the skin as Junpei lunges. But the survival instinct kicks in.]

[The wolf turns and leaps away from him, becoming just more blackness in the night.]

[They'd assembled with wonderful speed. Or perhaps less wonderful, considering this was something of a lynch mob, from the wolf's point of view.

But even-perhaps especially-if it was a being that couldn't control itself, it needed to be stopped.

Lupin looked around at this self-assigned team and found he was unaccountably nervous. He'd thought broadcasting that… well, outing announcement was difficult. And it had been. This was worse.

Glancing around, with either a rueful or petrified smile, he said,]

All right.

[Forcing down his lingering dread, bizarre nervousness, and acute humiliation, he laid aside his jacket, said goodbye to the rest of his clothes (better to do this all openly so everyone could see and not be surprised; and damned if he was going to top it all by stripping), he

[elementally]

I'm good to go. [Ready like this, Hope sounds a little more confident than normal. He's got his airwing drawn (it... basically looks like a fancy folding boomerang) and snapped out, and his posture is alert.

He kept looking right ahead while Remus changed, focused on the task and doing his best not to pay any mind to the fact that he just... changed into a pretty terrifying looking creature.]

If you take any hits, I've got your back. Cure magic is something I'm good at.

[The wolf pads down an alleyway, but stops suddenly to sniff the air. Whatever it smells, it doesn't like.]

[The monster growls, and the hackles along its neck and back begin to raise.]

[Suddenly, it starts to run. Coming for them.]

[totally didn't see this! sorry for delay]

[lumenrelegandus]

[Before the (other) wolf can reach Hope, Moony barrels into it from one side.

His claws remain sheathed. The aim at first is only to knock it over. Show it there's something sort of like one of its own kind around and give it time to take that in. You've only encountered food so far. Will you try to communicate if given the chance? Moony's posture is an animal kingdom equivalent of Hi there… We can talk this over…

Of course, if claws become necessary, teeth will be ready too. He doesn't think lycanthropy will be an issue should he bite this thing. Might even soften it up.]

[Nightwing's never been one to let a group of civilians get involved in something the police would even have a hard time dealing with, plus hey, it's his job and what he was trained to do. So he sets off -- hopefully before the other would-be-do-gooders -- to try and track down this wolf before anyone else gets hurt either by being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or by trying to do something stupid.

He's got his arsenal of Bat-weapons stocked, a couple of tranq-darts, and plenty of clever wolf-related quips at the ready. But when he finally catches sight of the thing he wishes that he had about six dozen or so more tranquilizers. And a gun to shoot them from would be nice. Damn. Ah well.]

Hey! Big Bad! You wouldn't be able to point me in the direction of Granny's house, wouldja?

[scorchednpcs]

[Funny he should mention Granny. Because the remains that the wolf lifts his head from could have belonged to an eldery woman.]

[The animal sweeps his tongue across its lips, licking away the blood.]

[But those beady eyes never look away from the one addressing it.]

[It takes a step towards him...and then breaks into a charge.]

[immyfathersson]

[Well, now he feels like a heel.]

Nevermind, looks like you already found her.

[Stands his ground and flips over the wolf at the last minute, use its shoulders as a springing point, aiming a kick at its back when he lands.]

Just hope I'm not too late to save Little Red!

[scorchednpcs]

[The wolf yelps, but it's as much a sound of rage as of pain.]

[It spins, heavy jaws snapping at him. Anything unfortunate enough to get caught between them will certainly be crushed.]
