Tale as Old As Time [Finished]

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian yawned as he made his way from his room. He looked...a little ragged and somewhat stumbling like he wasn't entirely awake. "Mrrrrarhg" At least that seemed non-threatening.

[accalia]

Julie: Mrppph...

Julie is sitting at the kitchen table, wearing her suit once again and looking barely awake. She raises a cup of coffee in silent toast to Obsidian as he enters.

Echo is absent from the room, presumably he is still trying to avoid Julie

Siegfried slides a plate of sausages in front of Obsidian. "Pancakes will be up in a moment. Good morning, Ms Schallen. Any dietary concerns?"

[accalia]

Julie: No allergies with regards to food, but i will take the steel cutlery over the silver. Thank you.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian murbles as he starts eating the sausage. "The hell you doing up?" He seems to be directing that to Julie.

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried puts a plate of sausage and fruit in front of Julie with the requested fork type, then grabs a mug of coffee for Obsidian. "I'll get going on pancakes," he adds, moving back toward the stove.

[accalia]

Julie: the morning calls and I answer. I'd love more time asleep but that would leave my other side in charge and she can be a real bitch when i don't keep control of her, so here i am.... awake when i would rather sleep.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian takes a bit sip of his coffee. "Sig...thanks." Well, that was obviously some amount of appreciation. "Sounds like a pain. Figured it'd be less a constant problem...course didn't get a lot of information that wasn't really removed." Obsidian winced a little. "Damn kid hits harder than I thought."

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried nods back as he pours pancake batter. "Do you know much about these types of things?" he asks, curious.

[accalia]

Julie: Well as I am also a werewolf, yeah I would say that i know a thing or two about it.... With practice and patience, and a lot of self discipline it becomes more manageable. But the wolf never does go completely away so you can't let your guard down.

Julie also winces as she shifts in her seat.

Julie: I haven't run like that in ages. that whelp almost got me a few times.

[CalamityJade]

Obsidian shrugged. "There was some books that I was able to get while in prison. Helped in trying to understand what I could do." Obsidian took a bit of time eating some sausage. "Thankfully the information on how it's passed on was correct." He pauses a moment. "Granted, I tried to look up a lot making the counter-measures and it's still not perfect."

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried nods. "What most concerns me is... the mental aspects. Is the Young Master truly himself? Or is he... something else now?"

[accalia]

Julie: Yes on both counts. He is himself, but he is not the only one living in that body... there's also a wolf in there. Who he is depends on who is winning. For Feral werewolves the wolf won, but not all werewolves are feral.

[CalamityJade]

"Also the point that it doesn't just take a bite to cause it. Apparently it's transmitted through flesh contact with wounds...well, unless you believe that claws can be removed and still make a werewolf. Not sure I buy that one." Obsidian took another pull off his coffee in the hopes of waking all the way up. "So...just so I have a reference. How rare is it that someone goes a decade on their own and doesn't turn feral?"

[yamikuronue]

Siegfried adds, "Is there anything the wolf wouldn't do? Or is it a singularly depraved creature?"
