1 - I think it better in times like these...

[Hendricks has been doing his backreading. Strange days. He wonders how common they are. ...and look, people are the same all over, from any culture or technology level. He's not surprised that the Stanford Prisoner Experiment was invoked recently, although he's more surprised that on the balance, there isn't general rule by the more literally super-powered. That's something worth having some renewed faith in.

Also he's going to have to pay attention to the rights of non-humans-- the vampires here aren't the Black court scourges or the White court soul eaters he's used to and he has to be better than preconceptions to do this job. He'll have to figure out how to talk to the local werewolf about what form her theriomorphy takes, because she seems to be halfway between a Lycanthrope and a Werewolf in the terms of his universe.

He thinks all that and he says:]

Hey. Name's Hendricks. I'm from Chicago. New warden.

Nice to meetcha.

[She nods, a little dejected.] Oh, well. Fantastic, then.

What's the difference between a, er-- a lycanthrope and a werewolf supposed to be?

[Private]

[cujothebigreddog]

Lycanthropes don't turn into wolves. Just think like'm.

[Private]

[scentbombed]

That's pretty nasty. I can't imagine they're very well equipped.

[Private]

[cujothebigreddog]

[He shrugs.] They manage. Good fighters. Tend to live in groups. Kinda territorial. They got enough human brain to do human stuff. Businesses, bank accounts.

[Private]

[scentbombed]

Not thinking like wolves, then. Thinking like humans who think they think like wolves.

[He has to repress a smile. He'll have to figure out how to slip her a concise history of 'canine psychology' that used only artificially-gathered wolf packs in zoos and led to a century of fratbrahs and other lower lifeforms calling themselves ALPHA MALES.

She'll probably have a good laugh.]

Yeah. Something like that. Do get stronger around the full moon, though.

[A good something, anyway. It sounds like it would make a good chew toy.]

So do a fair number of human women, I'm told.

[Private]

[cujothebigreddog]

I don't think most ladies actually synch up like that. [Just from his experience.]

[Private]

[scentbombed]

There's only so many days in the month, lad, and quite a few more women.

[Private]

[cujothebigreddog]

I guess that's true.

[He can't actually remember ever being called 'lad' before.]
