[Open] I mutate into an animal, I am a creature of the night

[get_the_win]

Who: Werewolf!Domon and open.
When: Sunset on the 17th through sunrise on the 18th (sorry this is slightly backdated.)
Where: Anywhere on the island that's outside.
What: It is the night of the full moon, and Domon has transformed for the first time. While transformed, he's no longer himself, and his actions are almost entirely based on animal instinct. He will be "hunting" anyone he happens to find outside. However, as animals do not kill unless they are hungry, he won't be seriously hurting anyone. Unless, of course, he's provoked.
Warnings: Normal warnings that come with a character getting turned into a werewolf? Violence and possibly some mild blood. If anything worse happens I will update this warning.

Domon had never felt more alive than he did right now. It was like the whole world had come alive with new sights, sounds, and smells. He'd already killed and eaten one of the forest animals, as he was too hungry after his transformation to find better prey. He'd enjoyed the thrill of the hunt quite a bit, so he was on the prowl again. It's just for sport now though, so he's not out to kill anything or anyone.

...Unless they put up too much of a fight.

The rational side of anyone after seeing a broadcast like the one earlier would be to stay away from the place where danger could be lurking around.

And Sora? Logic thrown out the window.

After seeing Domon like that, she didn't think twice and rushed out of the house and straight towards the forest.

[get_the_win]

He had just finished his meal and had wondered back into the Rose District. Hearing someone rapidly approaching, he darted into a nearby ally. His black fur camouflaged him in the shadows. He crouched down perfectly still, to watch and wait.

[dreamsonwings]

Be lucky she didn't spot him run into the alley; Sora is still under the assumption that Domon is still in the forest so she doesn't think to even look there.

[get_the_win]

He waited for her to run past before he carefully crept out of his hiding place. Finally, a chance for some fun. He quietly followed her, waiting to see where she would stop.

[dreamsonwings]

Fun? For him maybe but in her case...not so much. In her mind, the woman was too worried to notice the wolf following her as she made her way the the border where the forest started.

"...I should've brought something to use as light. But I can't go back now, he could be hurt."

Then Sora pushed further and enters, still unaware of Domon-wolf being near.

[get_the_win]

He actually felt worried as he watched her enter the forest. He had recognized her by now. She was still just a pup, and part of "his" pack as well. It was dangerous in the forest for her, and he needed to protect her. Still, he was going to put her in her place while he did it.

He suddenly rushed forward, catching up with her before she'd gone more than a few meters into the forest. He tackled her to the ground, and pinned her down. He bared his fangs and growled, a show of dominance. He hadn't really hurt her, but whether or not that changes will depend on how she reacts. Especially whether or not she tries to fight.

[dreamsonwings]

The wind was literally knocked out of her as she landed face first onto the ground, feeling the animal hold her down. Normally, someone would be screaming and kicking at the beast, wanting them to get off so they could run away. But that also meant that they would get hurt even more and that wouldn't work out for them.

Sora was too scared to move or do something to 'fight back'; her body was shaking and she made a slight whimpering noise. She simply didn't know what to do: move and be a scratching post or not move and have no idea what to expect.

"P-p-please, someone I know might be in here. I-I need to see if he's ok."

[get_the_win]

She didn't challenge his dominance. That was good. He let her go, but moved forward so that he blocked her from going deeper into the forest. He stood up on too legs, the transformation making him taller than he was before. He growled again, but did not strike at her. It was almost like he was trying to tell her to turn around and go back.

Now will she recognize him? The only things left recognizable about him are his eyes and the scar on his cheek.

[dreamsonwings]

It...wasn't going to hurt her? Actually, it understood her? Well, Arcanarum was an odd place after with the fairy tale aspect and whatnot. What confused her was that the wolf was blocking her way further into the forest. Was it trying to protect her?

But what was odd is the mark Sora sees on its face. That scar...

"Domon-san? Is that you?"

[get_the_win]

Understood her? Not quite. He had a strange feeling he should know what those sounds meant but his wolf brain just wasn't processing the words. However, he does at least recognize his name. He stops growling, and his ears flick forward curiously.

But that only lasts for a moment before his ears lay pack and he growls again. If she doesn't start heading home soon he's going to drag her out of the forest.

[dreamsonwings]

He can try but Sora is a stubborn idiot a good portion of the time. It's not because she doesn't know well but rather it's the caring about people that makes her that way.

"I'm sorry...but I don't want to leave you all alone. It doesn't feel right."

[get_the_win]

He suddenly lunges forward, tackling her. But instead of making her fall, he picked her up and carried her our of the forest. Once they were safely out from under the trees, he set her down roughly. Not enough to really hurt her, but enough to cause a few scrapes. He kept her pinned like that for a moment. He let out a deep growl, but it wasn't so much threatening as it was annoyed that she wouldn't listen.

He let her up again, and began padding on all fours back to towards the forest. But he looked back to make sure she was going home now.

[dreamsonwings]

The tackle wasn't much of a surprise but the carrying was. The scraping she can live it only because she got hurt a lot worse back home. Even with the rough treatment, Sora still doesn't move from her spot.

"I can't do it."

[get_the_win]

That is *not* the reaction he had hoped for. With an angry bark he lunges forward again, but this time he carries her all the way back to their house. At least this time her fall was cushioned by grass. He sat down like a wolf would, his tongue hanging out of his muzzle as he panted. Looking from her to the door and back again, his expression was practically begging her to just go inside.

Nice icon. XD

[dreamsonwings]

And she just shook her head, it was no use repeating herself. She wasn't going to go in and leave him be.

"If you force me, I will end up following you. I'm stubborn like that."

[get_the_win]

Suddenly, he stood back on two legs. He growled, ears flat and teeth bared. Lunging forward again, he knocks her to the ground. He places his hand over her head, pinning her down. But after a moment, he lets go and runs off on all fours, away from the forest. The werewolf is faster than any normal human or wolf, and quickly disappears no matter how quickly she tries to pursue. He'll make sure she won't find him again for the rest of the night, until he comes back home at sunrise.

Louis was no stranger to creatures such as this.

They existed within his world also, after all - and not just wolf versions. In this condition, he knew that he was unlikely to be able to handle it. A troublesome fact. So instead he settled on a far better plan. Find the wolf. Stay high, where it likely could not reach. And see what it did.

To the trees!

Watching this creature should be fine entertainment.

[get_the_win]

It was later now, and almost everyone had locked themselves in for the night. So he returned to the forest. Animals weren't nearly as fun to hunt as humans, but they would do since there were no humans around.

That is until he heard someone in the trees nearby. So they thought staying in the trees would keep them safe did they? And they were hunting him? Well, this should be interesting. If they wanted a hunt, he would give them one. He took off through the trees. Let's see how fast his would-be hunter could move.

[starofchaos]

If he had his powers, he would merely have teleported. Instead, he waited, listening more than anything else. To find the direction the other had traveled would not be easy without patience. The problem was his speed.

Thank goodness his stamina was so high.

Following that creature would not be even remotely easy even with it. But entertainment often did require sacrifice.

The hunt was on, then.

[get_the_win]

They weren't able to keep up with him huh? Disappointing. Well, might as well wait and see how good they were at tracking. He ran around the forest randomly, trying to throw the other off the trail.

[starofchaos]

It was becoming ever more clear to him that he relied on his power too much. Being without it was frustrating and even humiliating. Was this God's punishment?

...regardless of the cause, he followed the sound rather than the tracks, focusing on the direction he could hear the wolf moving in.

[get_the_win]

He was purposely loud until he thought he was a fair distance away. Then he quietly snug back around to try and get behind his hunter. Still, while he was being much quieter it was hard for something as large as he was now to move through the forest stealthily. So whether this succeeds or not will all depend on how good Louis's hearing is.

[starofchaos]

It was only as good as it could be, in an essentially mortal body. The natural sounds of the forest were a deterrent to easy listening, but the sudden change in volume from the wolf was enough of a hint. He was being toyed with. "...how precious," he mused aloud. There was an honest note of delight in his voice. However this might turn out, this was an interesting side of Domon Kasshu's 'denizen'.

Closing his eyes, he listened intently for any sound of close-by movement. Even with the most stealth, there would always be faint noises where the grass was moved, or the ground sinking beneath the weight. Just slightly.

He may not have the stamina he would have as a demon, but that didn't make him helpless. Not entirely, at least. The question was whether the wolf was doing this for fun... or for food.

[get_the_win]

He made his way behind his target, and then sprung. Fortunately for Louis the Werewolf was only hunting for fun at the moment, but even then he was still supernaturally fast and strong. The pounce was meant to restrain his victim, not kill, but if caught it would only be a matter of time before the beast grew bored with his target...
