Attention: Werewolves [A few days into liminal space, after Helena's suggestion]

[professorwolf]

This is Randolph Lyall... I'm sorry I didn't get this out to everyone sooner, but I know there are a number of us who have kept traits of the werewolves from the previous Jaunt. I've been one for several years now, and particularly in the light of there being a party coming up shortly, here, I wanted to make myself available in case anyone needs help adjusting to their new senses or instincts, or pointers in regards to shapeshifting or hunting. Getting used to this takes time, but I've gone through it, and I'll offer what help and advice I can-- or spare clothing if you need it. These shapeshifts rarely are kind to clothes, and I have the ability to create clothing from nothing, in here.

I also wanted to assure everyone that whether or not these forms come with whatever the full moon drawbacks of their associated bloodline, liminal space is a moon-free zone. Any "moon" in here that shows up isn't real, and hasn't ever affected me, so it oughtn't affect you. Whether you wish to experiment with full moon drawbacks in any of the Jaunt worlds we visit, if anything gets out of hand, all you need is someone to portal you back in here.

And finally, er.

[Here he hesitates, and there may be a slight sense of embarrassment when he continues. Only slight, though. This is, after all, a largely tone-free network.]

Regarding that party... seeing as I do seem to have expanded my clothing-adjustment skills to other people, these days, if anyone needs help creating a costume, I'm happy to oblige, if I can. Just come to me with an idea, and I'll see what I can do.

I was not surprised either to remember the man you were there. The experience was interesting, but I am left with questions.

[professorwolf]

Well, if there's any I can answer, I'd be happy to try.

You have been your kind of wolf, and an Ashina. I believe those natures are not the same, even if they appear similar on the surface? Do they…conflict? Does one make it easier to succumb to the negative aspects of the other?

Or, would they conflict, if you had both at once? That is probably the question that needs to be asked.

[professorwolf]

The negative aspects of the two werewolf types seem to be quite different. The Ashina have no desire to hunt human beings, and are relatively harmless on the full moon, not to mention they aren't the least bit undead. I suppose the madness involved with their witchcraft may be an issue, as Alphas and loner wolves are both at risk of madness in my world, but with luck and care and avoiding using that magic, one can hopefully mitigate that to some extent.

[Lyall's quick, at least, don't ever say he's not, so he follows that up with a question that he thinks is pertinent at the moment:]

Did you keep your werewolf aspect, on top of your Cerebus aspect, Lupa?

[papacerberus]

I know, but you have the most experience of any of us so if anyone can make a guess, it would be you.

[There’s a pause.] I… think so, but I haven’t tried yet. I am concerned about the complications of the two interacting.

[professorwolf]

Warwolf and dog demon? I suppose they actually have a few things in common that might be troublesome. But your friend Gale doesn't seem to have any ill effects, and I've seen both of his forms, as well, as he was kind enough to show me the second after I'd stumbled upon the first. I believe your Cerebus aspect has more in common with Gale's other form than it does with any werewolf, so that's probably the proper comparison to make.
