[Have a bombshell-blonde teen werewolf, Keeliai. She's dressed in the same outfit she wore to a rave and leaning both elbows on the console as she stares straight into the camera.

While she doesn't start by naming Isaac, Scott, and Stiles specifically, it likely obvious to them that her first statement is aimed in their direction.]

Boys, I know you're busy with your baking or whatever you're up to [what's up with that by the way?] but I'm here now so why don't you come out, come out, wherever you are?

[Ending with a sing-song voice, she addresses anyone else who might be paying attention to her feed.]

To the rest of you, that's one hell of a song and dance they do for you back at the palace, isn't it? Too bad it's probably full of lies or something.

[Her smile fades as she makes a face and gives a deliberate, dramatic sigh.]

So, anyone want to help a girl out and give me the 101 on place? Because this network doesn't have Google or WikiLeaks.

Comments

[cravats]

I'll try to remember. Modern informality is still a strange fit for me.

[He really is.]

Ah, currently nothing. Formerly sheep. And I've heard every comment on being a wolf in sheep's clothing already.

[unfettered]

[Modern informality? Sheep?--

...

Wait a second.]

Why would people be making wolf in sheep's clothing comments?

[cravats]

The fact that I am a werewolf who studies sheep seems to be a matter of some amusement to those finding this out.

[unfettered]

You're a werewolf?

[And he just. Came out with it. No big deal. That's what he is.]

You realize people can hear you on this network thing right? I mean this isn't a private conversation we're having.

[AREN'T YOU WORRIED ABOUT HUNTERS OR SOMETHING?]

[cravats]

The cat's been out of the bag on that subject for a long time. It's never been something I had to hide at home.

[He shrugs. Her reaction is definitely the more common one.]

I've had no trouble from anyone who opposes the supernatural. Many people here have powers or abilities beyond the mundane.

[unfettered]

[Oh my god he's a werewolf and it's just a thing that people know about. He's totally out of the supernatural closet and apparently that's just okay?]

What kinds of powers and abilities do they have?

[She is not going to come out with what she is on the public network so she's not about to chime in with HEY ME TOO but maybe if they meet in person she'll mention it. Maybe.]

[cravats]

Good heavens, far too many to list. I've seen people who can fly or cast magic spells- things I never would have expected at home. It seems you really can teach an old wolf new tricks.

[Not that he looks any older than Derek, honestly. Though significantly better groomed and dressed.]

[unfettered]

[Derek is still older than Erica and to a teen that gap is slightly significant though she wouldn't call him old. The way Lyall talks however makes her wonder...]

How old? And...when are you from anyway?

[He's really not giving off a 21st century vibe here.]

[cravats]

I'm from 1873, and I was changed just before King Henry VIII legitimized the supernatural community.

[Hopefully she knows her history.]

[unfettered]

[She has no idea when King Henry VIII was king but what she does know is that 1873 is a century and a half ago (or close enough) and King Henry VIII must be from quite a ways back before that which makes this guy really frickin' old. Not that he looks it at all. At all.]

How is that even possible? Is that some sort of werewolf power or something?

[Did Derek forget to bring up the possibility of immortality? Erica no.]

[cravats]

Werewolves- at least in my world- are immortal. Most don't live quite so long, but I don't tend to get into quite as many fights as others do.

[unfettered]

So. Werewolves are legitimized in your world by a king. They're immortal if they don't get killed by other werewolves. And you're like, really, really old. And you study sheep.

[Has she got this all right?

This is not the kind of werewolf she's used to meeting, okay, and do Scott and Stiles and Isaac know he's here? Have they met him?]

[cravats]

They were legitimized in England. Other countries are frequently less tolerant- especially America and Italy. We can be killed in other ways as well, but I am hardly going to enumerate them in public.

[He isn't afraid of hunters, but he isn't stupid.]

And yes, I study sheep and I am that old.

[unfettered]

[Wow. Okay. People Erica did not expect to meet in this city? People like Lyall. She'd ask a million questions but none that she wants to show interest in on the network where anyone can drop in on the conversation.]

What do you do here then? Been around long?

[cravats]

I manage a medical clinic in the Fire Sector. I think it's been six or seven months now- so, quite some time.

[If not as long as he spent at Woolsey, of course.]

[unfettered]

Hm. Maybe I'll drop in sometime then.

[Erica would love to talk to him more, preferably in person so she could talk to someone outside her circle of acquaintances about being a werewolf. Compare notes, maybe.]

I have someone coming over now, however. Nice meeting you, Professor.

[cravats]

I'm there most nights except the full moon.

[He would have a hard time working with a Dorian attached.]

Yes, it was a pleasure. I'll see you soon, I'm sure.

[unfettered]

[Nodding, she disconnects.]
