Werewolves

[Rooster]

"Why do you get the gun when everyone else gets nothing but a bad set of clothes?"<br><br>Rooster sits down on the curb of the dusty street and closes his eyes. He puts his hands in his pocket and finds a small box. He takes out the small silver cigarette case that he didn't know he had and opens it. Inside are 5 cigarettes and a small silver lighter.<br><br>"At least <i>someone</i> likes me. Anyone else want one?" he says as he lights a smoke.

[Richard K Niner]

"Sorry, I don't smoke," replies Richard. He looks at the door with the red paint; it makes him feel uneasy. In fact, he begins to doubt his initial assessment that it was red paint. He starts approaching it quietly.

[Bocaj Claw]

"Don't go Richard... I'm getting a bad vibe about that house. That red paint looks like blo- ... well, it doesn't look like paint."

[Richard K Niner]

Richard positions himself with his back to the outer wall beside the door, and lowers his stance. He looks at the group, trying to figure out who he should partner with for his next (potentially suicidal) task.

[Gizensha]

Gizensha locks eyes with Richard, and states, completely emotionlessly "If either one of us is right about pawns in someone elses game, or reality tv gone wrong, you know that doing what I think your planning on doing will make it all the more worthwhile for whoever's controlling this, right?".<br><br>He smiles a joyless smile. "Of course, on the other hand, we're not going to get to the bottom of this unless we do go for it. And better a volunteer than a nominee, since you're clearly after a partner for doing this." He looks to Tails. "Would you mind lending either Richard or myself that gun you found in your pocket, it appears that my clothes came empty."

[Richard K Niner]

"Well, I figured, if this is reality TV gone horribly wrong, and somewhere down the road millions of people are watching us on primetime television, the least we could do is put on a show," explains Richard. "Besides, the footprints indicate that, if there are two werewolves, only one is present here. Since this is completely unexpected, we'll have the element of surprise, and if we also outnumber it when we run in, maybe we'll have a chance of getting out alive.<br><br>"In other words, I'm going for ending this nightmare as fast as I can, and I see an opportunity here."

[Rooster]

"I'll cover the back" Rooster says as he walks away before anyone can stop him.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard reaches over and slowly checks the handle to see if the door is unlocked. He looks around to make sure that everyone is in position, and quietly asks, "Ready?"

Tails replied.

With as little warning as possible, Richard swings the door open, and dives into the room brandishing Tails' gun. There is no reaction. A dark fur-covered body, complete with tail, is on its front, facing away from the door; a trail of blood and red-coloured hand prints, leads from the doorway to where the body lies. Richard approaches the body slowly; as he moves around it, he notices that its head is missing, and that the fur is thinning in various places. The neck appears to be torn where the head would've been.<br><br>"Eugh!" exclaims Richard. "It looks like we got a dead one here!" He steps out, hands Tails the gun, and vomits. Again.

[TyVulpine]

Tails looks down at the body, his face pale. He looks ready to vomit too, but manages to keep it down.<br><br>"Who- or what- did this?"

[Richard K Niner]

Richard recovers, and re-enters the house. Covering his nose with his shirt, he turns the headless carcass over; on the front side, the body is clearly more human than lycanthropic. As he lets go, he spots something in the corner of his eye: a human head, with a look of shock on its face, clearly torn off the body of the <i>thing</i> in front of him.<br><br>Examining the footprints, Richard says, "I'd say it was the other werewolf, if there were two of them. It looks like this guy was turning back into a human, and was killed before completing the transformation. There was a struggle; it definately started outside, which is why there's blood on the door handle. Whether this is the original, or the new one created out on the road, I don't know. But the remaining werewolf is not here, unless it re-entered around back."

[TyVulpine]

Tails tightened his grip on the Magnum, and looked around, completely unnerved at Richard's statement.<br><br>"God help us if it decides to come back for seconds..."

[Richard K Niner]

Richard grabs a torch, and makes his way to the back door, motioning for somebody to follow him.

[TyVulpine]

Tails holds his gun up, ready to shoot at a moment's notice, and follows Richard, walking backwards to cover their back.
