#001 [video]

[killtime]

[ For a long moment, the stern-faced woman in the camera feed just purses her lips hard around a dwindling cigarette, puffing away in a decidedly annoyed manner. Finally, with an exhale of smoke, she speaks: ]

I'm going to make this straight forward. I want the mangy mutt that tried to rip apart a kid named Martin during the repeating day shitshow. I know he's one of us, and someone around here can either tell me who he is or where to find him. We can talk payment or favors — I don't give a damn.

Not saying I'm going to try and skin him for a wolf pelt, but the longer this takes me, the less civil I'm likely to get. Fair warning.

[ A little bitingly: ]

Who says I'm not just going to hit him on the nose with a newspaper and send him on his fucking way?

[ oh, no. he thought he felt guilty before. he should have known attempting to maul a small child to death would have its fair share of consequences. also: "mangy mutt"? he'd be offended, if she wasn't, like. you know. in the right. a little bit. maybe. ]

Publicly declaring your intent to hurt another imPort seems like a crazy thing to do.

[killtime]

My intent to harm is entirely dependent on how forthcoming this community intends to be. Who knows, a stern talking to might still be on the table.

[ Is she being sarcastic? Hard to say. ]

[calloused]

[ Derek's a pessimistic dude, so. he's pretty sure that was sarcasm. preeetty sure. ]

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who appreciates stern talkings to, if you ask me.
What with all the mauling.

video HELLO AGAIN

What happened to Martin?

[ Rex looks like he is going to try and skin whoever this is for a pelt, wolf or not, but first: answers. ]

WELL HI GUY FROM THE BAR also 1/3

[killtime]

A giant wolf happened to —

2/3

[killtime]

[ Squint. ]

3/3

[killtime]

You're the guy that pissed off that drunk.

[ct_7567]

Yeah. I am. Is that going to be a problem?

[minorgod]

[ Definitely listening in. Decidedly not pleased. ]

No other clues?

[killtime]

What clue is more obvious than "he's a giant wolf?" Do we have more than one of those running around here?

[minorgod]

There was a lot of things happening last week, but you're positive it's an imPort.

Either you saw them for sure, or you're not saying something that can help find this wolf.

[youresovein]

I had no idea we had a wolf problem.

YESSSS lestat!!

[killtime]

It was news to me too, but nothing about this place surprises me anymore. Guess this doubles as a courtesy announcement to anyone looking after any bite-sized imPorts.

( ᐛ )و🌹✨

[youresovein]

For which I am immeasurably grateful, as it just so happens that I have a bite-sized imPort in my care.

[ Never mind that she bites back. ]

Although of course, by making an announcement like this, you do run the risk of someone taking matters into their own hands.

video forever

[wronganswer]

Wait-- this happened a second time?

[ Anderson is so annoyed, almost offended, and outright flabbergasted at Martin's ability to attract trouble that she doesn't even get to touch the part that Andy is posting about this. ]

[killtime]

It happened more than once?

[ Andy is also very annoyed because CLEARLY SHE HAD NO IDEA that there was even another incident. ]

Please say you were there and you fucking stopped it.

[lesterzeppelin]

Wait up. A... werewolf or some kind of wolf-shapeshifter tried to rip a kid apart?

[ just what the hell did he miss while he was up in outer space... ]

[killtime]

Maybe. Can't say for sure — didn't see it change myself.

It was bad though. Messy.

[functusofficio]

[ Well, this all sounds very unpleasant. Padme is in rather official garb when she responds, lookin gworried. ]

While I cannot condone seeking justice outside of the system, I am concerned about a few things. You say you are certain this was one of us, and that they wounded or killed a child?

That is something that should certainly be addressed if at all possible.

[killtime]

Addressed how, exactly?

[heliophilic]

I thought you said you weren't violent, Andy.

[There's no smirk to go with the gentle teasing this time. Not when injured kids are involved.]

[killtime]

[ Wry as ever, but with a little edge today: ]

It's a special occasion. Besides, the violence is hypothetical at best right now.
