Full Moon's Curse {Open}

[andwehowl]

Kitty's just finishing up an evening of meeting with some potential investors for the animal rescue when she feels the pull of her family curse. The moon slowly creeps up over the horizon and she lets out a soft "Shit!" All of this newness her aunt has forced on her has thrown off her inner calendar and she'd completely forgotten the full moon is tonight. There's nowhere near enough time to get back to the farm now. The prickles of pain that come from putting off her transformation are already starting up and they'll just get worse.

Letting out a growl of annoyance, she feels her way to an alley and ducks inside, shedding her clothes and thanking whatever gods care to listen that she hadn't worn anything she doesn't mind losing. Taking a deep breath and grimacing, she lets herself fall into the transformation. The pain of her body rearranging is dulled by her magic but its still incredibly uncomfortable and she'd curse her ancestors for getting such a stupid curse put on them if she wasn't so damned respectful. And then, finally, it's done. She's a wolf once more. Getting to her feet, she gives her body a shake and feels her fur settle into place and the cramps in her muscles ease. 

Kitty isn't sure how to handle this. Normally, she'd be in the forest, or at least farmland, when she transformed. The city is crowded and, though she isn't in the heart of it, there's a ways to go before she makes it out of town. It's going to be hell getting out without rousing panic when someone spots her, but she creeps to the edge of the alley nonetheless, sniffing at the air before she slips out and quickly pads down the sidewalk. 

ooc- I just felt like I had to do smth since its the Harvest Moon and a supermoon tonight~ Feel free to bump into Kitty on the street and freak or figure out who she is and help or just mess with her~

Kitty snaps it out of his hand gratefully, laying down and holding it between her paws to tear it apart. Its good and she makes a note to buy some off of him once she's human again.

"Woah, watch the fingers!"

He steps over the wolf and opens a few fridges.

Whistling, he pulls a large piece of meat out. Ribs, probably cow. Definitely not for jerky, but he knows his father likes his ribs from time to time. "Now who's a good little magical wolf?"

[andwehowl]

A low warning growl slips out at the tone. She is not a dog, for goodness sake. But the smell of the ribs is floating through her system and she'll put up with it if she gets to eat those. Snapping back the last of the jerky, she gets to her feet and trots further into the kitchen, following the scent.

[techwitch]

"Hey, don't growl at me."

Luke puts the ribs on the floor. "I know you're hungry and maybe you're really frustrated about being stuck like this, but I'm not going to be made uncomfortable in my own home. And there's too much electricity around us to not let you get hurt. And that's not a threat, we're both on instinct right now."

[andwehowl]

Kitty's on the ribs almost before the hit the floor, tearing into them eagerly. Chomping down a mouthful, she barks softly to show she gets it. And it isn't like she plans on staying the night here anyway. There's nothing more awkward than having to explain to someone why there's a buck naked woman in their house the next morning. She'd know. That's what happened last time she got caught away from the farm on a full moon.

[techwitch]

"Right."

He takes a step back. "Please don't forget to lick the tiles clean, blood makes me pretty queasy."

[andwehowl]

Kitty snorts internally, but barks to let him know she understands. She crunches happily on the bones, blood covering her muzzle and stomach quickly feeling satisfied.

[techwitch]

"Oh lord." Luke turns around and tries not to listen to bones snapping. "Not how I planned my night."

[andwehowl]

Kitty finishes off the meat quickly, a couple licks of her broad tongue on the floor leaving it practically sparkling. Figuring he'd probably rather not see her come back out covered in blood, she takes a minute to sit and lick her paws and muzzle clean before trotting out, following his scent to find him.

[techwitch]

"No, not into the house!", he hisses. "You had enough?"

[andwehowl]

Kitty levels a cold look where his voice is coming from. So rude. She turns with a flick of her tail, heading back into the kitchen.

[techwitch]

"How am I going to explain a wolf to my parents? They're still getting used to my snake."

He follows her and opens the door into the garden. "Or can I help you with anything else?"

[andwehowl]

Kitty can smell the breeze coming in from outdoors and takes that as a sign to leave. Walking past him, she gives a soft bark and trots on by, tail flicking.

[techwitch]

"..yeah, it was nice to meet you as well."
