You strayed into my home and into my heart

[memeboogeyman]

S T R A Y Taking in strays is, all in all, an understandable vice. The dips in between their ribs, those large and forlorn eyes, they can help you forget the claws and the teeth and the danger lurking beneath fur. But the habit's a knife edge; your efforts may not be rewarded with kindness (animal instincts aren't discretionary) and you may get bit despite what you've overlooked. A stray doesn't care about pity. All it can know is survival. These warnings apply to strays of the more human(oid) sort, too. But what may even more perilous with this type than any drawn blood is what you can get when they grow to trust you. You can earn their undying loyalty...or their love. Either from such a wild thing is a precarious path to go down, if you allow yourself to do it. Comment with your character, preferences, desired roles, etc. Reply to others. Thread!

((Hello, there! I know that this is so far back, but would you be interested in a thread with a Witch!Mercy? I could cook something up, perhaps maybe she found a warm spot in that black little heart of her's and decided to patch up a wounded pup?))

[He didn't remember how it had happened. The cops said he'd gotten jumped, which was obvious from waking up in an alley, but that didn't explain the shifts. How sick eating had started making him. The sudden sensitivity to daylight, or the sharper teeth he had to learn not to snag on his tongue or the insides of his mouth.

His mom worked long hours, so it was easy enough to hide oddities in behavior. Just dump the food she left for him to make it look like he was eating it, be busy with 'homework' when the sun was still up. He didn't know if it would actually cause him damage but the way sunlight pricked his skin almost like the heat of a bonfire when he'd last tried didn't make him eager to test that. He wasn't sure how he'd explain away that he'd been out of school- he had at least a week before they started calling about him thanks to the note he'd forged. But he'd figure it out. Somehow.

Or at least that was the idea before he'd barely stopped himself from eating her. Only a last-ditch act of willpower had kept him from simply tearing out her throat when he'd found her, and the terror of that had been enough motivation for him to retreat, shove clothes and money into a bag and run.

Not that the city at large was much better. So many people just had him on edge, head throbbing, mouth too dry as he tried not to pay attention to them, not the warmth, or the sound of- shit he could actually hear the pulses of the people that came close enough. Disturbed, distressed, he cast about almost desperately for somewhere quiet and away from people he could take refuge and figure out his next step, unaware of the reddening gleam starting to replace brown in his eyes.]

It's June. It's not supposed to be this cold and rainy. It's supposed to be sunny and warm and... the problem really isn't the rain, and it's really not the less than ten degree in her surroundings. That doesn't help, but the reasons why she's been quietly cursing under her breath for - however long, she can't even tell, she knows the sun has risen and the birds sing and the first stores are opening up, so it must be past seven in the morning now - the reason for that is different.

It's all gone to hell. All of it. All of it, and she doesn't even know where to start dissecting it, and more importantly, she has no clue at all where to turn now. She needs more help than she can reasonably expect from anyone right now, and in the end it comes down to bad luck and her own damn fault.

"Fuck," she murmurs, and falls back against the wall of a house in a small side street, closing her eyes for just one moment and pinching the bridge of her nose. Concentrate. You can't be tired. Concentrate, and go over the focusing techniques you've been taught, push down all that makes your mind less clear, less awake ...and then things are a bit clearer again, her head less muddied by being tired, but it only means that she can see all the better just how much of a problem she has.

She'd only just started to get in contact with the Traditions - well, specifically with the Virtual Adepts. No help from there, certainly. Equally certainly no help from those who could have fixed this whole débâcle of one of the stupidest addictions out there, if she had just decided to listen to her good common sense for five minutes and talked to someone about getting some genetic modifications instead of faking her death and running off... but she doubts that going back now would be particularly healthy. They might very likely decide that no processing in the world could make certain that she wouldn't try to defect again. ...And certainly no help from the Reality Deviant who stood at the crossroads of all of this. Aletheia had been very thoroughly destroyed earlier this night, and now she can't even go back to their shared apartment because who knows who'll be waiting there.

So where does that leave her?

[ Dick had fled Gotham after Bruce kicked him out, bussing across state lines and ignoring the various calls and texts on his phone from concerned friends. He just needs room to breathe, and he finds himself back in New York City--not as Robin, not this time. This time, he's just... He's just Dick. Dick, who is utterly determined not to dip into any of the savings he has or the trust fund that Bruce set up for him ages ago.

Assuming he still has access.

Without his gear, though, or any identification, really, he's having a much harder time than he'd expected to. It doesn't help that he can't let trouble go either, not when he's right there. Which is how he ended up in the situation he has, leaning heavily against the back wall of a club as he tries to stay upright and breathe through his just-broken nose. At least the girl he was helping smartly ran off; she'll be okay. ]
