Ooooh dear. Trouble ahead. THAT's the other one we see come to your 'rescue'.

Oh, yes. She’s the enforcer and resident loose cannon. Your unicorn self would be right to be nervous around her

I could split off and talk to her in human ghost-form, but then if she ran off with the glasses...

On her own volition, she might. But I doubt she’d try given the proximity of her alpha. He let her off the leash, but he can put it right back on

Well, I'm scared.

If you didn’t do anything wrong, then there’s no reason to be ^^

Acrathia: Ah! Nothing like seeing a feral warrior woman first thing in the morning to raise one's spirits!

I thought that was Imoldra's line: "I love the smell of ferals in the morning."

Acrathia: Imoldra is not the only one capable of admiring strength, and I for one am always greatly pleased by women who defy convention.

Constance: *smoothly finishes the Shift, remaining in a somewhat anthropomorphic state. She sniffs, inclines her head in appreciation of a kindred spirit, and tenses to hunt* Our rabbit just bolted and I’m going to catch it. You wanna come along?

Acrathia: *readies herself to keep up* Certainly love, literal rabbit or metaphorical?

Constance: *grins wickedly and begins to lope down a back alley toward a dark and rainy thoroughfare, careful not to lose her new companion* Metaphorical. Can you smell the fear in the air? He may be a lycan, but he’s as helpless as prey in our little trap.

Acrathia: Oh indeed love! I am quite familiar with such fear! Tell me, what did this not so little bunny do to earn the ire of you and your pack?

Constance: *glancing backward momentarily* He’s a homicide suspect. We can’t afford rogue wolves in Elmwood. It’s too small of a town for that kind of bullshit. *Claws skid a little on the wet pavement when she takes a corner hard. The fur along her spine stands up as the wind shifts* Good. Silas is herding him our way. Block the alley for us? If he tries anything I’ll tear out his throat. *Pauses, eyes you and has a moment of recognition* If you don’t get to him first.

Acrathia: *smirks* Rest assured dearest, your target will be immobilized and ready for questioning once he gets to me...

Constance: *bares her teeth in a feral smile* Can’t wait. *she leaps into the street just in time to cut off a half-Shifted man who reeks of fear. An older silver-haired gentleman with a bit of a limp is in pursuit. The cornered lycan balks when he sees that he’s surrounded and the Shift takes him. Constance is on top of him before he can bare his teeth. The only thing that clues you in to the presence behind you is the soft clearing of a throat*

Jackson: *adjusting his rain splattered glasses and smiling apologetically* Ma’am, I’m afraid this isn’t a place for civilians—

Constance: *lifts her head and barks once at Jackson before returning to fighting the struggling lycan*

Jackson: Oh, my mistake. I didn’t realize you were with us—

Silas: Jackson, stop chatting and collar this idiot!

Acrathia: *Smirks to Jackson as she outstretches a hand and casts a sleep spell on the rogue lycan* I apologize if that made your hunt less interesting, I have a vested interest in the beast being taken alive and properly questioned. As I understand it, this is becoming an alarming trend, and surely you could understand why The Queen of Witches would not want another witchhunt on our hands...

Constance: *a little annoyed at not being able to tear into the suspect more, climbs off of him with a snort of dissatisfaction*

Silas: *processes the information before himself for a moment and gives a shallow bow* Good evening, madame. No, we hardly want one either. Thank you for the help.

Jackson: *shakily steps out into the street and points past Silas* Can you do something about that, too? *down the street, a large brown wolf circles an even larger figure that appears to be writhing in pain. It lashes out with developing claws and narrowly misses the wolf*

Silas: *turns* Shit. Shit, don’t tell me…

Jackson: *takes off down the street, Shifting fluidity as he goes*

Silas: *quickly barking orders* Constance, pack up the suspect. You and Ruth are on this one. Keep the cages clear; use a cell for interrogation. And don’t scratch the paint. *he tosses her a set of keys and follows Jackson*

Constance: *deftly catches the keys in a huge paw and a low growl rumbles in her chest. She hefts the sleeping lycan across her shoulders and turns to Acrathia* Our rabbit better give us some good news, or I’m killing something tonight.

Acrathia: *nods in acknowledgement* Tell you what love. Regardless of whether or not the rabbit squeaks, I'll provide some challenging game for you to hunt to make up for the disappointment.

Constance: *walking beside Acrathia to Silas' car* That will be welcome. The full moon's only two days away and I'm already itching.

A good shapeshifter is mindful of expensive clothing.

It’s only common sense XD

Ay! She said fuggedaboutit and no ripping the leather! What's the mattah you lady?!

HEY, I'M CHANGIN' HERE, I'M CHANGIN' HERE

Ay oh! Gimme a break ovah here, will ya?! I gots enough a dose wise guys rippin' leathah, comin' from New Jersey!

Thanks! XD Everything's funny when speaking in New York!

lovely, fantastic piece

Thank you so much!

Looks like somebody's in trouble.

Oh, in a big way

Sounds like it's gonna be a fun show.

It was a blast to record, but we hit some snags with our animation software. Unfortunately, we couldn’t finish the pilot. However, we were able to salvage some frames for a comic issue and the dialogue audio, so we can at least start telling the story with a voiced comic when the website goes live. Our hope is that we’ll make enough revenue to afford better software and equipment so we can actually get the animated series off the ground. ^^’

Animation is tough for even a small team to do.

We definitely found that out the hard way ^^’

I have some shirts that I would not want to ruin if I were to transform.

Also, I am excited for the completion of this project! ^^

It gets expensive tearing up one’s wardrobe XD

Yay! Thank you! Hopefully it doesn’t disappoint ^^

Awesome!

Thank you so much! ^^

Rawr!
