A Werewolf Walks Into a Bar In Seattle
Greg walked into a bar called AFK and grabbed a stool at the bar. The bar was a hangout for local geeks, but beer was beer and that was all that Greg wanted. He didn't feel like the type of clientele that occupied normal bars. Tonight he just wanted a beer and quiet.

He ordered a Guinness and got lost in his own thoughts as he waited.

	Jo was thankful that the walk back was long enough for her to get back to normal. "Goodwill store. Hid them inside a clothing rack every day for a week until their sticker color had a half price day." She shuts the door once everyone is inside. "Help yourself to anything in the fridge. First aid kit is in the bathroom, and also under the kitchen sink." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Bride looked around, but did not comment on the decor. Her tastes, such as it were, often amounted to needing little more than a place to get out of the rain. So much of her life had been spent on the run or hunting monsters, that she had rarely had time to "relax." "It is... nice?" she tried. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just put him on the futon. Comfier than the floor at least." She nods at the largest piece of actual furniture in the place. Along with the bean bags and a pair of storage ottomans, it sits adjacent to a large wooden spool. Nearby is an entertainment center made of cinder-blocks and plywood.

	"I'll just start getting that first aid kit ready," Rita offers. "You got paper towels,right?" Rita looks very thoughtful as she tries to figure out just what they'll need. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tyler sets the man down gently on the futon. "They're getting the necessary equipment. Try and relax as much as you can. Don't worry, we're going to take care of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

If anyone had expected the Bride to look regretful, she was going to disappoint them. It was not, as some of the group might have suspected, that she felt no remorse or pity for her actions. Rather, it was a combination of being at peace with a monster who killed monsters and having lived too long and dealt with too many other vampires, werewolves, and worse to believe that their conditions were anything more than a curse.

No matter how in control they suspected themselves, cursed individuals always eventually snapped and someone needed to clean up their mess. Better death than that.

So if an apology was expected, there would be a long wait.

Instead, her thoughts turned to more musing prospects. "So many unusual individuals in one place, one city," she said. "The supernatural has only grown in my long slumber."

	"I've got plenty of supplies, but I'm no EMT. Do any of you know how to treat a bullet wound?" Jo brings out one of the kits, along with some clean towels that have seen better days and she won't mind losing. Backing away from Greg in case Rita or Tyler need more room to work, the lady-creature's comment catches her ear. "Yeah... fascinating, ain't we?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can do it," Rita decides. "I have steady hands." So she searches the first aid kit and pulls the gloves she had been wearing off and tugs on a pair of disposable gloves then picks up a pair of forceps and tweezers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He gets out of Rita's way so she can work. He turns to the Bride. "It does seem to be a very ironic coincidence." He frowns slightly and in a lower voice replies to the Bride alone, "Sorry about earlier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Jo's Place not_your_wife 2012-01-20 11:20 pm UTC (link)
	The Bride nodded slightly and responded in a low voice as well. "You did what you thought necessary and showed great courage. I cannot fault you that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo busied herself grabbing some food for everyone, finding it better to stay out of the way of those who were more medically inclined. "Everyone here can eat human food, right?" She started putting some cheese on crackers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Jo's Place artofcreation 2012-01-21 12:59 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I'm pretty much a 'normal' compared to everyone else here." She was taking care to not do more damage to Greg than had already been done as she went in search of the bullet. "Almost got it." And when she does she lets it drop onto one of the towels Jo had brought over. She sets the tools aside and starts to clean and patch Greg up. "There. Got it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Half-conscious Greg groaned when Rita dug the bullet out. It hurt as almost as much as it did when he was shot. His eyes rolled back and he slipped into unconsciousness. The wound was already starting to heal now that the silver bullet was out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When Greg went into unconsciousness, Tyler spoke. "We should probably talk about what happens next." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My thoughts exactly." Jo agreed, flipping through her phonebook. "Chinese or sushi?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's... Japanese. It's a way they actually used to use for preserving fish. Now they serve it up that way as a cuisine. It's not something everyone enjoys. Chinese might be better," Rita says as she tugs the gloves off and drops them in the trash so she can rinse her hands off.

"And.... Really. I don't know what should happen next. It's weird that we all ran into each other at almost the same time. I'm not used to getting back up, though it's been known to happen."

	"Not really a fan of either, but I'll go with the majority." He sits down. "Well when things settle down I plan to research Morlun. Something tells me he's not done yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Jo's Place devilonstrings 2012-01-22 12:25 am UTC (link)
	Jo excuses herself to order a generous amount of spare ribs, sesame chicken, and beef and broccoli, before rejoining the conversation. "So... Morlun, that was the scary dude? Can someone fill me in on what was going on before you all came crashing into my job?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay. From what I saw this Morlun guy attacked the werewolf I just patched up. I guess he must have tracked the werewolf down," she guesses out loud. "I'm not sure what his deal was. He seemed like he was trying to feed off of whatever makes this guy a werewolf.... I sort of assumed he was a vampire when I saw him. Wrong guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A totem hunter," the Bride said, after a moment. "I had heard rumors of ones such as that, long ago." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
