cujothebigreddog[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.

But then he just feels pretentious.]
I guess I don't have any questions yet. I gotta see what it's like for a while.

Date: 2012-07-24 05:43 am (UTC)How long've you been here? Does a full moon bother you in space?
[Warden Filter]
Date: 2012-07-24 06:10 am (UTC)And no, actually -- there are no full moons here. It's... somewhere between unsettling and convenient. [She used to have a little watch on her collar anyway, showing the phases of the moon on a 28-day cycle that doesn't exist here, but that quietly disappeared about a month ago.]

Date: 2012-07-24 03:37 pm (UTC)We got werewolves at home. Some of'm are friendly. [Well, not to Marcone, they're firmly on Dresden's side and think that the local mafia are boo-hiss bad, but they work actively to keep the city safe and are thus safely countable as good guys.]
Some of'm aren't. Especially the ones who only change on a full moon. Tthe guys with belts are assholes too.
[Warden Filter]
Date: 2012-07-24 03:44 pm (UTC)But... what belts?

Date: 2012-07-24 03:46 pm (UTC)[After one of the bastards shot him, he has the dossier on ye average hexenwulf memorized, but he's hoping it doesn't come up.
Really, really hoping.That hospital stay was amazingly unpleasant.]

Date: 2012-07-24 03:50 pm (UTC)There's the berserk guys. Not many of them left in Chicago. They don't change shapes, they're just mean.
And there's werewolves. They're just kids who can turn into wolves. They're okay.

Date: 2012-07-25 02:26 am (UTC)Although... [She hesitates, then switches to private.]
[Private!]
[Except now she's not entirely sure how to put this, so it takes her a second, hesitating.] The werewolves you know... It's just that most of the people I've met from Earth, they say the undead get up to all kinds of things there, and very few of them any good.

Date: 2012-07-25 02:29 am (UTC)It's kind of a mixed bag, yanno? The fairies are pretty much always bad news. The Loupe Garou are fine most of the month and then they're monsters. Lycanthropes are just dicks. Hexenwulfs, the belt ones, they're dicks and junkies. Werewolves are fine.
Zombies are bad news, usually someone's controlling them. Hit squads.
Vampires... well none of'm are nice. Some will pretend to play ball. All of'm want to eat you.
Most stuff that isn't human wants to eat stuff that is human. Basically.

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