Room 309, Tala, Stephanie, Hannah, Welcome to the jungle.

"My Dad, his first change, he couldn't come back, not for a long time. They had to lock him away so he wouldn't hurt someone. His dog was struck by a car and killed, that strong emotion triggered his first change..." She sighed sadly.

"It's common when it first happens. The freedom that comes once the animal is in control is too nice, no more worries, no more limitations put on you by society. It's so strong, people don't know how to handle the rawness of an animal, they're so detached from themselves. Animals have no inhibitions and humans have so many. Just look at what happens when people drink too much, finally inhibitions are dimmed, they're free for a time and they go crazy, some begin to like it so much the become alcoholics. Some can't come back and need help, some just don't want to."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:42 pm

Sean was quiet for a moment as took that in.

"Sounds like what happens to Americans when they get old enough to drink legally," Sean said, "I can imagine having a father whose gone through it was probably helpful too. Most people don't have that kind of support network that they can rely on."

"I've been very lucky, got the wild thing from both my parents." she chuckled and made a claw with her hand and playfully raked at him.

"Meow. Still, I try not to "wolf out" on people or too often, societies exceptions and all that. It's also a matter of manners. Just because my stomach growls doesn't mean I have to too, it's my mind and my body I control it not the other way around, but there's a time and a place for everything, I always make sure I take that time. Plus, my family avoids alcohol for the most part, like we need our inhibitions lowered farther."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 10:59 pm

Sean chuckled at the raking.

"Probably for the best because I think a bunch of drunken feral shifters could be considered a bad thing," Sean smirked, "I wish more people would take the opportunity to blow off steam."

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:12 pm

"Slurred growling, 8 feet of tipping over werewolf, yeah, not pretty." She smiled. "Heck, at least acknowledge"it" whatever "it" is at the time. Yes, I see the big chocolate cake, I would like to strip naked and dive into it but that would be impolite. So, I will simple take a piece and eat it instead of wear it."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:28 pm

"You're taking away all of the fun for the spectators though," Sean chuckled.

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:31 pm

"And avoiding being arrested for ruining a perfectly good cake." She winked.

"You get the idea, besides I wouldn't ruin a cake like that, faceplant and eat until I was sick, yeah, that's more like me. I save my nude shenanigans for weddings and other formal events."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:40 pm

"That will certainly make the homecoming dance here interesting, I'll try to remember my camera," Sean smirked. "Though those must be some very accepting weddings you're participating in or you're the exception to the no drinking rule."

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:50 pm

"Remember that formal dinner I mentioned. I was nervous as hell then a waiter dropped a platter in the kitchens, it was all over. My parent's wedding renewal, it was a clothing optional event. I wore flowers, though by the end my baby brother had pulled a good majority of them off while I was holding him."

by **Sean Hall** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:55 pm

"Really?" Sean asked cocking an eyebrow.

by **Tala Davis** » Fri Jul 08, 2011 11:58 pm

"Of course I was built more like a 12 year old boy then a 16 year old girl. Are you familiar with the slang term "mosquito bites"?" She tilted her head slightly.

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:01 am

It took a moment, but Sean recalled some American slang and the context certainly helped. Then began to chuckle.

"I think I get the general idea."

"That sounds somewhat awkward, what with family friends in attendance," Sean said, "Or perhaps I'm just a prudish Brit?"

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:09 am

"Growing up in a feral family." She shrugged and smiled.

"Goes back to that whole idea of inhibitions, I covered to be polite to others, not because I felt I needed to. Plus, I was more worried about keeping the flowers out of my brother's mouth. By the time I noticed that more skin was showing then I had first intended, my boyfriend had given me his jacket and was trying hard not to slip into "dude" mode."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:13 am

"He's a much stronger man than I would have been," Sean said, "I would've slipped into "dude" mode almost instantly.

It sounds like a nice way to grow up."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:25 am

"It helped that he was very aware that nearly every member of my family would have pulled off a limb and hit him with it if he had. It takes guts to date a girl like me." She chuckled.

"He had his moment when we slipped off during the reception. It was good, a little stifling, but good. It took some time to convince my parents that I could tare off limbs and beat boys away myself."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 12:40 am

"I don't think you have them fully convinced just yet," Sean said, "Lucky for me I'm perfectly harmless, so I hope that means I can keep my limbs."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:45 am

"Well, not fully, yet." She smiled.

"You can keep your limbs, but I doubt that you're harmless. You're straight and..." She closed her eyes and her body did a gentle shiver. When her eyes opened again the amber color hit an instinct in Sean that squeaked, "Oh gods, I'm dinner!" To make matters worse she licked her lips and fangs as she smiled.

"You have a female..." She shivered again, returning, but still grinning.

"Safe for now, but not totally harmless."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 9:23 pm

Sean stiffened at the transformation.

"My what big eyes you have," Sean said, "I'm dating somebody, don't know if she'd appreciate being called my female.

But how exactly did you figure that out?"

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:19 pm

"Sorry, the language gets a little...primitive when I change." She tapped her nose.

"Your comments about my nudity assured me you were straight, the nose told me the rest. You are naturally attracted to me, but not completely. There always that little spike of male scent when a male is around a potential mate. It's unconscious, can't be helped. Your scent lacked the third spike of a male...on the prowl. You're not sending out the "come get me" scent, so that means you have a girl that you are completely attracted to. Lucky girl by the way."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:34 pm

"Personally I think I'm the lucky one, but thank you."

"You should've gotten here a couple weeks earlier, but I doubt a girl like you will be on the market long," Sean smiled.

If I had a nose like that it would've saved me some awkward moments back in secondary school, and when I was at the pub."

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:37 pm

"Yes, it's handy, but it does have it's down side. I have to go all "foxy" and people tend to start looking like dinner." She gave him a wink.

"As for being on the market, I'm "different" when it comes to dating, aside form the "grr" factor, only time will tell."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:41 pm

Sean chuckled at the 'dinner' comment.

"Different how?" Sean asked, "As in potential suitors must make it through a hilarious set of challenges of strength, wit, and endurance?"

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 11:04 pm

"Well, it's hard to explain. Take my stand on nudity, I have no shame associated about my body, however it is mine. I guard it." She chewed her lower lip in thought.

"I suppose the best way to describe it is that I plan on mating for life. I don't know if the "wild" in me will make it that way, but for now it's a choice I've made. I believe in being monogamous, but I also believe that it is a choice made by the two people involved, until then I see no reason not to date around. If a guy who's taken me to lunch a few times wants to take another girl, that's fine so long as there's no physical intimacy on either side." She shrugged.

"Any of that make sense?"

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 11:25 pm

"I think it does," Sean said, "You only want to be physically intimate with one person and expect that of somebody you're with. While you can be emotionally intimate with more than one person.

Is that about right?"

by **Tala Davis** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 11:41 pm

"It's...safer all around, you know. You can have many "I like you's" but when it begins to turn into "I love you", I like to know." She smiled.

"Now, keep in mind that's for males, females are a different issue, but basically I don't play games with people's emotions and I don't like games played with mine. Being empathic and feral, emotions can be deadly."

by **Sean Hall** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 11:58 pm

"Yes, I imagine there would be fur flying," Sean smirked. "I'm not big on emotional games either, they just lead to trouble down the road.

I know it sounds strange, but to be honest I'd rather live a mostly drama free life."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 12:46 am

"Wise man." She nodded sagely.

"Drama is over rated, we get enough of it just existing. Anyway, thanks for making my first day a good one, maybe we can have lunch sometime, someplace nice and public, in full day light." She gave him a wink.

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 12:52 am

"Full daylight keeps angry shifter fathers from showing up at my door," Sean smirked, " Here take my number otherwise I'm sure you can find me on campus."

Sean wrote down his phone number on a piece of paper from his sketchbook and handed it to Tala.

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 12:59 am

"Oh, he's in New York...at least he had better be.." She looked around slowly then smiled.

"Thanks, I'll mostly be here." She waved at Sydney Hall and took the slip of paper, tucking it in her back pocket.

"Full daylight also keeps new girlfriends from being overly paranoid."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:06 am

"Yeah, nobody wants an overly paranoid Phoenix," Sean chuckled. "I'm in room 225 if you need a guide, but I'm usually out on the prowl."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:10 am

Tala blinked. "Holy Crap, you're dating a Pheonix?! Man, you've got guts and a half. Yeah, sure as hell don't want to piss her off."

She chuckled, "I'll keep that in mind."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 1:17 am

"Guts sure, but yeah I am not suicidal.

She's honestly the sweetest girl I've ever met despite her having the ability to end worlds," Sean smiled, "So far it has been like dating any other girl. At least so far. Dancing, dinner, and a night spent spelunking."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:14 am

"I suppose it has been through a few telepaths over the years by now, it's good she's stable. Pheonix has a bad reputation for being...very dangerous and unpredictable." She smiled as she watched him change while talking about Altamira.

"You enjoy her company and she make you smiled like that, I say it's a good thing."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:26 am

Sean nodded.

"I just hope it works."

"And I know I may not look it, but I am very capable," Sean said before pausing for a moment, "Of ducking and covering in the face of an angry cosmic entity."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:30 am

"Giving your heart out is a risk, but when it does work, it's worth all the time when it didn't before."

"Yeah...hide under your desk when the BOMB goes off, you'll be safe, promise." She smirked.

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:38 am

"That's what the BBC told me, and they're never wrong," Sean said, "I just always forget the paper bag to put over my head."

"All else fails I'll just hide behind you with your ability to 'wolf out'."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:42 am

"Send the fox girl against the nuclear holocaust, that'll work. No way, she goes "boom" and you're on your own buddy. Besides the smell of burn hair is nauseating." she chuckled.

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:45 am

"I never said it was a good plan," Sean chuckled, "I haven't had the opportunity to smell burnt hair, so I'll have to take your word on that."

by **Tala Davis** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 2:54 am

"My twin thought it would be funny when we were about 8, lost my bangs, but I got even a few years later, one of his first shifts, he got stuck..so I shaved him."

by **Sean Hall** » Sun Jul 10, 2011 7:03 pm

Sean chuckled.

"I was never lucky enough to have siblings," Sean said, "You have a twin who is also a shifter?"
