Werewolves

[Bocaj Claw]

"I aint laughing" Weak attempt at a smile. "Er.. you've been out for several hours at least. I'm not sure. I was out too. And according to the computer thats tracking us theres only me, Richard, and Rooster left. Apparently they think you're dead. This may sting."<br><br>Applies alcohol pad.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard walks back to the computer and queries it again. "It still says that only three of us are alive, plus one werewolf." Richard pauses, then glances suspiciously at the three others with him. "Wait a minute..."

[Bocaj Claw]

"You don't think... Obviously it means the the werewolf that killed all these... And the silver coin?"<br><br>Props Giz up and tightly wraps a bandage around his torso.<br><br>"Sorry if I was too rough. Don't have any medical training. But I think any sudden movements of the torso would probably tear the wound open again."

[Gizensha]

*winces at the alcohol pad's stinging*<br><br>"Well, unless the werewolves-- Eeeesh-- are willing to-- Gaaaah-- Attack themselves, it can't be me or Richard. Ow! I thought you said it was going to sting 'a bit'!"

[Richard K Niner]

Richard continues typing at the computer. "Figures. The werewolf is in this room," he mutters to himself, then lets the terminal power down. "Hey, Bocaj. You remember what I said back when we were burying Ruedii's corpse?"

[Bocaj Claw]

"No medical training remember! But no infection now either."

[Gizensha]

"That's one thing at least", he mutters. "So, aside from my assertion that it can't either be me or Richard, do we have anything to go on?"

He looks too hurt to stand himself up. And haven't we all been attacked by the werewolves? I myself was knocked out and tied up. Who knows what they did to me?" Uneasy half-smile.

[Richard K Niner]

"Well, according to the information I've gathered from the terminal, one, we all have RFID implants that track our life signs, two, the werewolves are tagged in a similar manner, but their locations are reported as well, three, there are four living beings in the system, and four, the werewolf is in this room. Unless we're all blind, one of us is in fact dead, and the werewolf is standing right behind me breathing down my neck--"<br><br>Richard spins around to look behind him, and lets out a sigh of relief before turning back."...that werewolf must be one of us."

[Bocaj Claw]

"Well I see two ways about this. We can get all paranoid and shout at each other and perhaps lynch someone. I happen to favor this option but I'm an undiagnosed neurotic.<br><br>The other option is to somehow restrain a random number of us to find which of us is the werewolf."

[Richard K Niner]

"I don't like the second option. Because if the werewolf is the one that does the restraining..." Richard trails off, to let the point sink in. "1 in 4 is not a chance I'm particularly fond in taking without a really good reason."

[Bocaj Claw]

"Werewolf-ish... lycanthrophy... whatever is transmitted through open wounds right? And both you and Giz have ... very deep cuts on you. Me and Rooster look pretty un-cut but I'll submit to a search. ... Wow. I sound pretty reasonable huh? Therapy must be working <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> ... I jest, I jest."

[Gizensha]

"...Saliva via an open cut, as in, directly into the blood stream, is usually what the legends lead me to believe is the active agent in transmitting lycanthropy..."<br><br>He thinks about what he just said... "...Can werewolf saliva be digested? If so, I think you guys might want to restrain me, considering where I threw that coin before it wound up in my throat. Just keep guard over me considering I don't <i>feel</i> like a blood thirsty monster..."<br><br>"...Still, did they bite at either me or Richard, or just maul us with claws? I can't remember clearly."<br><br>For someone who was on death's row just minutes ago, he seems awfully talkative. But then, he might be talking and thinking in order to help maintain consciousness, rather than because he's made a recovery.

[Richard K Niner]

Richard sits in front of one of the terminals, and starts typing. "Nope, it can't be digested. Just saliva in open wounds, as Giz said. At least, that's what the tests say.<br><br>"And I can't quite remember whether it was biting or slashing last night." Richard continues typing. "Hmmm, that's interesting."

[Bocaj Claw]

Bocaj sighs. "Everytime you say that my day gets a little worse..."
