[ Oh my god. ]

Well, I thought we already covered the not-a-metis thing, but -

Seriously? This is what you guys sit around and talk about?

[ Initial 'what the fuck' aside, though, why the crap hasn't he ever thought about this. ]

Although I guess it's safe shifter sex one-oh-one, "know what your dick is capable of". They should probably make pamphlets.

And no offense, but are you sure that's related to you being a cat? Because I've heard cats having sex. Nobody's having fun in that scenario.

I know you're not a metis, Josh.

[Pfffft.]

I mean it's probably one of those weird metis side effects. Like how some of them don't have a sense of smell or a permanent tail or whatever.

And okay, you seem to be a perfectly nice guy, but seriously some of those jerks, it's like - try to get them to stop talking about their dicks.

[Oh look a compliment]

Maybe it's just that I'm excellent in bed. Also, Josh, I'm not cat. I wouldn't call your girlfriend a dog.

[ Okay he's done with the dick talk he would like to not hear more about these animal guys and their dick fascinations, thank you.

QUIETLY MOVING ON....... although yes, thank you for saying he seems to be perfectly nice??? ]

Right, fair enough. Although you'd be one of a very select few, dog jokes are very in vogue in the werewolf circles back in Boston.

Yeah, because no one's ever thought of those before.

[scoff.]

If I'm going to take the time to insult a werewolf I'm not going to fall back on dog jokes. Frankly if I'm going to start a fight, I'll do it with something that I don't feel isn't quite as overdone.

[Pause, though.]'

You're from Boston?

To each his own.

[ Although he hates dog jokes too, actually, so- ]

But seriously, sorry about the cat comment.

And - yeah. Sort of. Ithaca originally. Why?

No problem. All forgiven.

Just curious.

[A bit of a laugh]

A lot safer a place than Los Angeles.

You don't know Boston like I know Boston, clearly.

[ hahAHA safe ]

I've been to Boston.

It has a huge vampire population.

Oh. So maybe you do know it like I know it.

Is L.A. really worse?

Yeah. We have a bustling vampire population mucking things up, and the ratkin and nuwisha basically took over half the city. The garou don't like it.

On top of it add those creepy fae out in Echo Lake and man.

Don't come to L.A.

[ the what and the what. ]

Did you really just say "ratkin".

[ but this is weird, because it's actually the closest someone's gotten to saying anything remotely familiar about back home, so- ]

Any chance there's a nasty flu going around L.A. that kills vampires?

I really did just say ratkin.

[Wererats are mean to her.]

I don't really follow if the bloodsuckers are getting sick and dying. But if they are I better not eat another one.

If they were, you would probably be at least peripherally aware. It's kind of a big and messy deal.

[ and wow eating vampires.......... ]

... just to clarify, you mean while you're a tiger, right.

While I'm crinos, usually. I mean. It doesn't happen often. They don't taste good.

But sometimes I get mad and I don't remember what happens.

[ oh, well. that sounds familiar. ]

Yeah, no, they aren't exactly gourmet material.

Is it - like, is it all the time? Because werewolves are obviously just a once-a-month kind of deal, but yours - yours isn't?

Once a month what now?

[S I L E N C E]

Uh.

Well.

No.

I mean, rage is rage, for me. I try and keep it in check.

Once a month. You know, howling at the full moon.

[ and that's - not good, and it reminds him more of vampires than wolves. ]

Don't suppose you've tried therapy?

Luna's not such a big deal for us.

[A pause, and a laugh]

Rage isn't like-

It's not as simple as that. Without rage I wouldn't have ever been able to change. But yeah. I try to keep it in check. There are ways.

[ luna, that's cute. ]

But you can control it? I mean, use rage to cause a shift. I would say that's handy, but your claw popping makes me slightly hesitant.

I manage.

[ excuse the random change of subject, but- ]

It's not contagious, is it?

Rage?

Well, probably. I mean, that's between you and your anger management therapist.

What?

I mean - no, not rage, your... condition.

[ he sort of regrets his word choice even as he says it. ]

[SILENCE.

DEADLY SILENCE]

No.

[PAUSE.]

Josh.

.... Daphne.

[ yeah that's all he's got. he could try to qualify the question, but that is a lot of deadly silence and he's slightly scared. ]
