[Have a rather sleep mussed Andrew Warner broadcasting himself to the network guys. His hair in a great state of disarray and he clearly hasn't crawled out of bed just yet if the pillow behind his head is anything to go by. Its early in the afternoon and he should be in work, but he probably should have been in work a lot over the last few weeks but he just stopped going.

There's a wide grin before he starts speaking in a grumbly voice.] Hey super-people! [Yeah he really did just say that. Because he was equal opportunities between superheroes and villains.] So uh, I figure I've been here kinda like a month now? Been a full cycle at least an' I'm havin' a total blast there's just one tiny thing.

[He flops back onto the pillows like he was having a conversation with a good friend rather than an entire country of people.] Where's the fun? I mean there's gotta be bars in this place, clubs, that kinda crap? This wolf has a cravin' for some place up-beat where I can shake what the good lord gave me. Any suggestions would be amazin' and y'never know, maybe we could call it a date?

[Shameless. Utterly shameless. He can't even get drunk but that won't stop him from making an ass of himself on some kind of dancefloor. Give him suggestions, good imPorts far and wide.]

Huh. Sorry. Y'made it sound like you weren't exactly besties.

We uh... we were. First guy I ever loved... 'til around the time he turned me. Moment I became a wolf we didn't get on so good any more. [Such tragedy.]

Re: video;

[orions_shadow]

There's a ton of prejudice against werewolves and lycans, so no real surprise there.

No offense.

It's sad, but hey?

You're a leaps and bounds above me in the romance department.

Ain't too much of it back home, mostly 'cause we're known for bein' the quick to anger supernaturals, a lot of people would sooner kick up dust about the witches.

[He smiles.] Always was kinda a fan of the wolves myself, even before Javi made me one. Guess I walked straight into that one.

[orions_shadow]

Buh, witches. Warlocks are worse.

[A shrug. This Javi character is confusing. Did he want to turn him into a wolf or not? And why did he get mad?]

I didn't have plans to turn into a lion kid.

[He shoots the other man a glare.]

Dude there's nothin' wrong with warlocks, or witches. Keep that kinda shit away from me.

[Because he was incredibly equal opportunities for all supernatural beings regardless of their origins.]

Don't think anyone really plans it.

Re: video;

[orions_shadow]

Dude... You ever meet a warlock? They're scary.

[Maybe someone had a bad experience.]

video;

[willinglychanged]

Ain't nothin' scary 'bout other supernaturals, dude, y'should know that more than most people. [He grins, reminding the other man that he clearly wasn't human and might just be considered scary, too.]

[orions_shadow]

Rrrgn... Maybe not the ones who 'act' like normal people but the ones who are evil?

And there are, by the way, ones who really are evil, even call themselves that, who are scary as hell.

And I was under the control of one. So yeah. Scary.

[He tilts his head, confusion and concern on his features.]

Somethin' tells me warlocks where you're from an' warlocks back home are totally different. Back home there's a pact between the supernaturals, no-one does shit like that. There'd be too much retaliation.

video;private

[orions_shadow]

That pact would be nice, but that's not how it works everywhere else.

Most of the werewolves and vampires I know? They're sooner gonna rip your face off and kill you than play nice.

video;private

[willinglychanged]

Figure that's the best thing 'bout back home. We had to come together... it was either that or let ourselves die off.

Re: video;private

[orions_shadow]

Where I come from it was anarchy.

Almost.

Bad people did bad things. Even some of the animal folk were not to be trusted.

Like Noble.

Video;private

[willinglychanged]

Damn, kinda thought that was how things probably would've gone back home from time to time. But then findin' a common enemy helped the supernaturals, an' it was all happy ever after from there.

Video;private

[orions_shadow]

There is no happy ever after.

You have periods of peace and unrest and that's just how things are.

Video;private

[willinglychanged]

...wow, that's really nice an' pessimistic right there. I'm more of a happy kinda person. Totally a fan of the happy ever after.

Re: Video;private

[orions_shadow]

Yeah but, that's only in movies.

[willinglychanged]

Been workin' pretty well for me in real life too, kid. Maybe y'could try bein' more positive about things?

[Oh sad lion. Let him help you.]

Video;private

[orions_shadow]

[What are you talking about he's totally positive.]

Uuuh, don't you think it's better to be realistic about those sorts of things? This place I'm in now? Best living conditions I've ever been in.

But I just don't think 'happy' endings are that simple. You gotta work your tail off to keep the peace else it falls apart.

Entropy, y'know? It happens.

Video;private

[willinglychanged]

Workin' my tail off ain't exactly my thing. [Even his smile is lazy as he says it.]

But I'm glad things are lookin' up, this place has been good to me so far, too.

Video;private

[orions_shadow]

Me either, but that's just the cost of keeping the peace.

Anything worth having has to be fought for.

Video;private

[willinglychanged]

I'm a pacifist, if I'm honest. I'm all for fightin' with words, fightin' with feelin'. But fightin' with fists or actually fightin'... ain't gonna fly well with my pack.

Video;private

[orions_shadow]

I don't have the luxury of being a pacifist.

Video;private

[willinglychanged]

Damn, my world is lookin' better an' better by the second.

Re: Video;private

[orions_shadow]

There's a whole alternate reality out there were you're evil, and your entire world is crap.

Law of averages.
