Waxing Gibbous Moon

In Town

Above the city, the Umbra Mansion stands tall. Its grand doors and windows have been opened, spilling light like a beacon. Music lilts in the air, drifting so far as to be faintly heard even in the neutral centre of the city.

The streets have emptied, particularly in the vampiric half of town. Most of the vampire loyalists have joined the masquerade, leaving their homes and shops unattended. Tonight is a special night - a once in a century event, and they wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Even some werewolves and neutral citizens have been enticed to attend. Jadis the Mystic has created a lotion that will disguise the scent of a werewolf; an effect that is broken by shifting, breaking the skin, or the gradual passage of time. It is not widely distributed, but rumours travel fast. The lotion is only given to any Guildulf-aligned werewolves, but… well, there’s nothing wrong with a little trade here or there. Right?

For all of the wolves in town - with the moon so close to being full, it’s natural for them to feel a bit more excitable. Energetic. Ready to take on the world. And seeing as Montica is so empty, it’s like a playground has just been opened up. The young wolves in particular are eager to take advantage of the empty streets, the sound of not-quite-mature howls breaking through the air in their excitement. There are hardly any people around to be scared if they play too rough or run too fast, and they are taking advantage of this with great enthusiasm.

In the highly-debated 'neutral' zone, some small packs of adolescent werewolves are gathering. There's banter and roughhousing, the not-quite-adults playfully shoving each-other over the invisible line where the vampire territory begins.

Some of the bravest amongst them take the challenge to dart over and brush their fingers over silver doorhandles - their yelps spurring courage and adrenaline in the others. What starts harmlessly enough quickly escalates as they urge each-other on, teenage excitement and the thrill of the moon encouraging all sorts of bad choices. The longer they go without reprimand, the more bold they become; and somewhere along the way, bulbs of garlic start winding up in places they wouldn't normally be found. (There is at least one group who is excitedly challenging each-other to leave the garlic in more and more absurd places. If they happen to sting themselves on some silver ornamentation on the way, all the better.)

Not all homes are unoccupied, though - sooner or later someone’s going to disturb someone else’s peace, and tensions are already so high. Hopefully there are some Responsible Adults around to curtail the worst of the mischief before someone’s temper is sparked.

It makes a face at the described 'dedicated room'. Clean sheets? Medical implements dipped in alcohol? That's it? Not even auto-sealing wound spray? Ugh. If it weren't for the fact that it's pretty sure everywhere else here has equally shit medical equipment, it'd be taking this injured human somewhere else.

Then it stares, as she...dips down? What the fuck? What the hell kind of useless stupid gesture was that?

"Rin," it says. "Don't care about any talents that don't involve first aid. Just show me where to put this human. They're leaking."

“Follow me or let me take her,” she says. “And know you or any who need our help and would not breach the truce are welcome at the Laurelthirst, ser Rin.”

A merchant in her fur mantle adds, “If you’re hungry or thirsty I can whip you something up. Least we can do for a helper.”

"No thank you," it says quickly, as it attempts to quickly suppress its reaction to being offered disgusting human food and beverages. "And it's just Rin."

(Humans liked to add titles to their names sometimes. But no one ever gave SecUnits titles like that. It was weird, and it didn't really like it.)

So in the hopes that no one else will attempt to offer it anything else, it quickly starts following the human with the medical skills. The moment they reach the medbay, it quickly deposits the injured human on the bed. And then turns, and moves to leave.

Clearly, SecUnit isn't planning to stay.

Nor will they force it to. Clearly, it has more important things on it's mind.
