010 [Video]

[accidentalfugitive]

[Isaac's stood in the zoo in Xanadu, in front of one of the cages, inside which stretches a huge forest.  He grins at the camera]

What this.

[Throwing his head back he lets out a weirdly realistic howl and after a moment and pack of grey wolves start to pad forwards out of the trees]

Cool, huh?

Comments

[lupusalpha]

[Oh my god he gives up.]

Have you been seriously practicing that?

[accidentalfugitive]

[And... Yup Isaac's bright red now. And replying slightly sulkily due to the embarrassment]

It's not really something you can practice without people noticing. [Maybe if you taught your baby beta these things instead of just beating each other okay Derek beating Isaac up]

[lupusalpha]

What kind of people?

[accidentalfugitive]

Just... people. [Look its fun when he's messing around with animals, they're less judge-y. ]

[lupusalpha]

Right.

[accidentalfugitive]

Shut up, it wasn't that bad.

[lupusalpha]

It's fine.

[accidentalfugitive]

[Flatly] Your eyebrows disagree.

[Then again, Derek's eyebrows never really seem happy about anything]

[lupusalpha]

My eyebrows don't have a personality of their own.

[accidentalfugitive]

Uh-huh. [Lies, all lies]

Hey if I go in the enclosure will they think I'm a threat or do they react like dogs?

[lupusalpha]

Don't go in there.

[accidentalfugitive]

But... [look, the older cubs have started to play fight just at the tree line, how can Derek not want to join in?]

[lupusalpha]

Don't.

[accidentalfugitive]

Dogs like me still, more probably. Why not? You can't just say don't do it.

[lupusalpha]

Wolves aren't dogs.

[accidentalfugitive]

Obviously. Fine, I won't. I'm bored though.

[theassassin]

[She's impressed.]

You're not going to go all... Wolverine on me and take an extended vacation in the wild with the wolf pack, right? I mean I won't mind if you do, but just.. don't bring me back half eaten deer carcasses okay?

[accidentalfugitive]

Nah I'm not allowed. Ew, no if that happened you'd have to bring me daily picnics. Not really a fan of freshly slaughtered deer.

[theassassin]

Oh good. [She nods with a little touch of a smile.] I think I could manage a few picnics if it means preservation of the deer population.

[accidentalfugitive]

Hey no promises, I only said I wasn't going to eat them.

[theassassin]

[She shrugs and nods] It might just suck to be Bambi then.

[accidentalfugitive]

...That's the Disney film, yeah? Not sure I can be bothered though, the burger place is more obliging.

[theassassin]

Yeah... They really are, and so much more tasty.

[valentineluke]

What will you do next?

[accidentalfugitive]

Only trick I'm afraid, but I'm here all week.

[frekish]

So cool. How do you howl like that?

[Zeb is very impressed. Probably partly because of his own dreams of being Odin's wolf. Or mostly, if we're being honest.]

[accidentalfugitive]

[He shrugs grinning] Just can, I guess. Wasn't sure if they'd come the first time but it's cool that they did.

[frekish]

Wait, so you haven't done that before? I didn't think the wolves would respond like that if they weren't used to you already.

[accidentalfugitive]

No that wasn't the first time, but I guess my impression must sound like one of the wolves in the pack for them to answer it.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Someone was raised with wolves.

[ Video ]

[accidentalfugitive]

I wish. It's more like, recently adopted by.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Part of me thinks you're shitting me, but that right there's not something you see every day.

[ Video ]

[accidentalfugitive]

I don't actually live with would animals, here or at home.

[Slightly awkward] It's not that odd, it's just imitating a sound.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Never said it was odd, kid. Interesting? Sure.

[ Keeping an eye on the pack of wolves whenever he can see them in shot. ] You're not worried they might get hungry?

[ Video ]

[accidentalfugitive]

Oh, um ,thanks?

[Aww Clint, he didn't know you cared] If they were hungry they'd be out hunting.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ In his own way, and he's a sort of friend to Stiles, so by extension more so. ]

You've got a point. Just don't let 'em get too close, yeah? Not looking to shoot down a pack of wolves if it can be avoided.

[conglomeration]

...Are you a Beastman? [They're not entirely unheard of in his world. In fact, he worked with a half-wolf for a time, years ago. So there's no hint of fear in the question, just an almost academic curiosity.]

Re: voice;

[accidentalfugitive]

A what? [Isaac on the other hand sounds slightly nervous]

voice;

[conglomeration]

Part wolf. You don't look like one, but. [But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.]

voice;

[accidentalfugitive]

Nah, no such thing where I'm from I'm afraid. [Isaac doesn't particularly like lying but its better than people finding out. Just because they haven't seen any hunters, doesn't mean there aren't any here]

voice;

[conglomeration]

Oh. [A shrug that can't be seen because no video for the stone boy.] Sorry, then. They're not that uncommon where I'm from but they're usually... furrier.
