[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of these few months. Because not everyone is into parties, ok. Characters who are not currently squired in may also post, as their characters are living in the castle awaiting their ceremonies.  This takes place after the Knights have returned from Dimitris' wedding. 

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

[incantatio]

[It's when he hits the kitchen that he'll stumble across Sawyer. The brunette in the company of a certain furry accessory who keeps darting in to steal pieces of lunch meat as she tries to fix a sandwich.]

You've already eaten three times today and it's barely even lunch! Would you lay off! [Of course... he's not all that easy to see from her bag so. Nothing says awkward greeting like that one.]

[virtutem]

[ Scott doesn't really have any reason to think that Sawyer has a furry friend in her bag. So he's caught like a deer in headlights when Sawyer says that. He doesn't know where to go. He's not sure how many times he's eaten today, but he glances at the fridge and then her. ]

Oh--okay.

[incantatio]

[His voice sees Sawyer spin around, a mask of 'Oh' across her face as she blinks rapidly, struggling to explain.]

Not you! I was - [Her bag is there for him to see but of course. Oscar has now retreated so it now just looks like, she was talking to herself.] I have... Would you believe I was talking to a Ferret?

[No she, probably wouldn't either.]

[virtutem]

Um.

[ Scott isn't sure where this illusive ferret is? Or if there was ever a ferret? He doesn't want to assume she's crazy, but he's not here to judge her if she is. Maybe she just likes talking to herself. ]

Did you lose it?

[incantatio]

No - he... [Running a hand down her face.] Likes making me look ridiculous apparently. He's a familiar. His name is Oscar. He's... in my bag. [A beat.] Really.

[virtutem]

[ He takes a step towards her and the bag. What if there is no ferret in there? What if there's something weird? Now Scott's wary. ]

Can I see him? [ Otherwise known as is he in your mind? ]

[incantatio]

[And she... picks up on that wariness (Sense Motive 29) and then bombs her Will Save. The upside is, Sawyer doesn't get mad or offended. The downside is, she's inclined to mess with him a little.]

Well of course not. Only I can see him. [She does appear... completely serious.]

[virtutem]

[ If she thought Scott looked confused and a little scared earlier then she's see a whole new side of him right now. Because he looks petrified of her. ]

Oh. That must be nice. Never get lonely huh? [ He's trying so hard to be nice about this. ]

[incantatio]

[Her head cocks to one side, eyes widening a little and a smile takes hold because... while he's a little scared? Yeah the fact that he is trying so hard to be extra nice to her is kind of endearing.]

Never get lonely? Somebody tells you they have a ferret that only they can see and that's what you say? [Her grin pulls wide and she flips open the flap of her bag as this guy peers out from it.]

This is Oscar. I didn't catch your name, though.

[virtutem]

Well, I didn't want to hurt your feelings or anything if you were actually a little--not well.

[ He's not sure if crazy or insane is a rude way of putting it so he avoids the words. Scott is too nice for his own good sometimes. With the ferret now looking at him Scott smiles and looks at her. ]

Scott McCall. You?

[incantatio]

I'd kind of hope they wouldn't let me carry a gun if I was talking to invisible ferret friends.

[Her smile warms. Sawyer reminded a little of Clark in the way he responded to what he thought was an unstable person.]

Sawyer Kelly. [Oscar squirming out of her bag and using Sawyer as a climbing frame until he wraps around her shoulders. He'd hear Oscar making a series of noises and Sawyer for her part, appears to be listening to him, her expression changing as if responding to something the Ferret had just said, more curious than anything else.]

He says you smell different. Not bad but, different. [A beat.] Not crazy, I swear. He's a Familiar.

[virtutem]

I kind of got the impression that this place was willing to help and employ anyone no matter mental health. As long as they wanted to do some good.

[ Maybe he's just standing on some archaic ideals. ]

Um. [ He stares at the ferret for a moment before looking at Sawyer. ] He's right. I'm a werewolf. [ His eyes flash red. ] That's probably what he smells.

[incantatio]

Yeah, probably. [Grinning. Though she's still hoping without the gun.

There's a flicker of surprise as his eyes flash red but there's no tension running through her body, no taking any steps back.

The same can't quite be said for Oscar however, who at present is trying to scramble behind Sawyer's head to peer at Scott from over the top. His chin resting on her head, his paws clinging to her hair.

Scott would hear Sawyer speak, clearly not to him because the language sounds foreign but whatever it is she says, seems to calm Oscar somewhat, the Ferret now sheepishly climbing down onto her shoulder.]

Sorry - He. You're our first werewolf. Wolves and Ferrets... He just wanted to make sure you don't want to. Well. Eat him? [Torn between amused and apologetic as an idle hand comes up to offer Oscar a reassuring scratch on his head.]

[virtutem]

[ He feels bad when her ferret basically bolts up her body and proceeds to hide behind her head. He never intended to scare the little guy, but he knows most animals have that response. Dogs usually bow their heads recognizing his dominance over them. It can often calm them down as well. His eyes shift back to brown. ]

Oh. No. I don't do that. I only eat my food cooked and I promise there's no ferret in my diet. [ Gross. ] I was bitten so I'm not quite as in touch with the wolf as a lot of born wolves are. [ He holds out a hand. ] He can smell me if he'd like.

[incantatio]

[As a Ferret... Oscar likely recognizes everyone's dominance over him. He also recognizes that the one thing surely standing between him and being an entree is Sawyer.]

He'll get over it. [Sawyer clearly used to having a living accessory, unfazed as he rubs his chin along her jaw as if to claim her with his scent.] And trust me, he will. Once he gets used to you, he'll probably be all over you.

[Just saying. Don't be surprised if as this conversation continues, you get your own living accessory Scott.]

Bitten? [Head cocked to one side.] You didn't... want to be cured? [Definitely more curious than judging.]

[virtutem]

I did. Unfortunately it required me killing the guy who bit me. [ Which at the time Scott wanted to do because Peter was murdering people. He was on a rampage through the entire town. Though his targets were specific he wasn't afraid to let people get caught in the crossfire for his vengeance. ] I never got a chance. His nephew took it away from me and killed him to steal his Alpha status. Also to get back at him for killing his sister.

[incantatio]

[Confusion stirs in her eyes before, something clicks in Sawyer's head and she nods slowly, at least thinking she understands now.]

Right, you're... not from this world. [An acknowledgement rather than a question.

As for the rest of that story?]

It sounds... [There really is no nice way to put this.] All kinds of messed up.

[virtutem]

[ He wasn't aware that the werewolf thing sort of worked differently here. He probably should have tried to find the wolf that Cora mentioned earlier, but she told him not to talk to him without her. Due to his skittishness. He might have been able to tell Scott a thing or two about wolves here. ]

Yeah. It's pretty messed up. [ Scott shrugs. ] It could probably be worse though. I'm an Alpha now.

[incantatio]

[His mentioning he was an Alpha doesn't appear to mean much of anything to her, Sawyer staring blankly in response, as if expecting he will explain.]

You can, pretty much assume that anything you say will mean, nothing to me. [Offering up a half grin.]
