[rakta]

it is not.
a wolf is one of many forms i can choose.

[wicka]

OK
I thought u might be some kind of werewolf
Ur a regular shapeshifter then

[rakta]

i was a werewolf. during the game.
but that was different.

[wicka]

How come

[rakta]

the magic made me kill people
as a wolf
it was not me

[wicka]

[ ! ]

Wait so u WERE cursed
But not anymore?

[rakta]

i am still cursed
just differently

[wicka]

??

[rakta]

a fae queen cursed me.
before i came here

[wicka]

Oh... shit...
I've never run into fae before

[ ... Does he say it. ]

I was bitten

[rakta]

pray that you do not.
they are often cruel, no matter the court.


by a beast?

[wicka]

OK
I'll make sure I stay away

Yeah
Werewolf

[rakta]

do you eat people?

[wicka]

[ cue internal keysmashing ]

No! Werewolves don't eat people

[rakta]

oh. i did when i was one.

[wicka]

That can't be right
Werewolves kill but they don't

[ ... Do they? No one's ever mentioned that to him. Not his mothers — they definitely never said anything like that happened to his father's body. ]

How did u stop being one?

[rakta]

they did in this place.
it was part of the game. when the game ended, we stopped.

[wicka]

So they made u a werewolf and then just cured it...
For a game

[rakta]

yes.
that is what they do.

[wicka]

[ Type, delete. Type, delete. ]

Can they cure me?

[rakta]

they have not cured my curse.
but they have given me herbs. medicine. so that i can touch others.
perhaps they can do the same for you.

[wicka]

What do u mean?
Why can't u touch others without using herbs?

[rakta]

i am cursed. i have been for many years.

[wicka]

Oh that's the curse

[ Weird curse. Fae are weird. ]

I doubt herbs will work for me but OK

[rakta]

yes.
i will share mine, if you want to try.
or i will be a wolf with you.
