Just Enough To Make Me Bulletproof

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as classroom space for the University. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for University students on a meal plan. The old library has been bolstered with college textbooks.

Just Enough To Make Me Bulletproof

Postby Tereza Rozanov » Wed Apr 18, 2018 6:52 pm

Coming down off the moon was weird. January's full moon had been harsher than the other moons and she wasn't sure why. So she'd grabbed her guitars and retreated to one of the music rooms to play, leaving a note for Sam and Vivienne to let them know she'd be practicing if they wanted to join her. She sits down and gets comfortable, picking her way through a song and starting to sing.

Tereza was in a song or two in before Vivienne showed up. She carefully slipped in and found a place to wait, not wishing to interrupt.

Tereza finishes and looks up. "Hey there," she says, a little subdued. The songs she was playing were subdued as well.

"You seem...down. Are you well?" She joined Tereza while idly looking at the various school instruments in the room.

"Just... been a rough few nights. Full moon and all. They're not usually this bad. Maybe I'm just tired," she says, rubbing one of her eyes.

"Unusual, the moon usually rejuvenates and awakens the Wild. Have you seen Samantha? Perhaps reaffirming your bond with her will help."

"And the Danger Room is still down. Meditation? Have you tried..talking to your wolf? I know Samantha is a telepath, has she worked with you on becoming one with the Wild? The wolf may know something you do not."

"I talk to the wolf all the time. I thought we had an understanding. I'm not sure what's changed, but something has." She glances down at her fingernails which are sharper than normal.

Vivienne chewed her lip, then stood up and locked the door.

"Do you have your phone and do you have music on it?"

Tereza raises an eyebrow, "Yes and I do, but I don't really see what your point is. I'm playing music now." She strums at the guitar for emphasis.

"I think she has something to say. If the "something" that changed happened last night, you were locked away and even thought she was out she could not go and do what needed to be done. You said the music helped, maybe it can help now if you try talking to her."

"Room for one more?" Sam asks, sticking her head in the music room.

She seems to be... doing something different with her hair?

"Still feeling the moon a bit, love?" Sam asks, making her way in. Her clothes look like they fit a bit tighter, and there's visible muscle playing as she moves with surprising confidence compared to just a few days ago.

As Sam gets closer, Tereza's body begins to subtly vibrate, that restless energy beginning to build again. "It's... been rough," she says, setting her guitar aside with one hand while her other grips the chair she's sitting in.

"I missed you," she says, sitting down on the arm of the chair and putting a hand on Tereza's hair affectionately.

"We need to do moons in the Danger Room again once it's fixed. All three of us."

"Yeah," Tereza agrees. There's a popping noise, though it's hard to tell whether it's from the chair that she's got a grip on or one of her joints.

"Okay... I..." She drops to her knees holding her head. "... not ... make it..." Her brain is having trouble forming words and the rage is almost palpable even to Vivienne. Then the popping and cracking starts, fabric tearing as the mass rapidly piles on.

"I'm here," she says as she kneels down by Tereza's changing frame.

"We're both here with you. You're safe," she says, putting an arm around her girlfriend.

"We know you're a wolf but you're our wolf," she whispers, the word reverberating mentally as well as being said physically.

Strange thing about the appearing fur. It's largely black with almost none of the silver-white that had previously marked her coat. That only has a moment to register before Tereza flails out blindly with a back-hand in Sam's direction.

Sam is knocked flailing, skidding across the floor and sliding to a stop against the wall. She grunts, getting over the surprise as she gets up.

"What was that for? We're trying to help!"

Scolding the angry werewolf appears not to work particularly well as Tereza turns angry eyes towards Sam. Some part of her responds to the scolding, but the wolf is in almost full control at the moment and she leaps for Sam, jaws open.

Vivienne finished the door and turned in time to see Sam flying to one side then Tereza making a leap towards her.

"Tereza! NO!" In one quick move Vivienne knelt, slammed her hands on the floor, forced whatever water was in whatever pipe to come to her then threw her hands forward in a sweeping motion, throwing what water came into Tereza's side attempting to knock her off course.

The water blunts Tereza's charge, knocking her off course and allowing Sam to roll out of the way. She scrambles a bit, finding her feet and stands, howling a challenge to the the threats in the room. It's hard to tell from her brain exactly what all that threat assessment entails.

"No, Samantha, not you. You are her mate, not her enemy, you need to be the face of peace and safety. You need to get her to protect you again, that is her rightful place." Vivienne says as she pulls the water back across the floor, arming herself. She stands and finally looks at Sam.

The answer from the werewolf seems to be 'absolutely nothing' and she lunges at Sam again, fingers spread as she tries to grab Sam.

There's a sound of ripping cloth as Sam takes on bulk to try to match Tereza's strength, bringing her arms up to push off what she thinks is going to be a bear hug.

"Oh aye, you wanted out to play?" she says with a half-feral grin of her own.

"Then let's play."

"She did not start anything, she is rage blind. Oh for the love of... " As Sam grapples Tereza.

"So be it, keep her busy and no killing, either of you!" She moved around the fringes of the tussle, carving runes into the south facing window frames.
