Who: Alexis and Collin
When: Tonight
Where: Wherever, downtown
Rating: Pg-13?

Alexis's senses were tingling, and she had to get out and about, to find a spot where she could just breathe, and have a cigarette. But being outside wasn't helping her senses at all. She could smell so many others like herself, and it was such an odd sense; she knew they were out there, and yet she had yet to meet someone like herself.

She sighed, finding a nice building to lean against, and grabbing a cigarette from the carton in her back pocket. She lit it and inhaled, staring up at the sky. Waiting.

A young man standing in a crowd of a few other people.
"Do you really think that there is a guy named Mike Hunt?" He shouted. "Are you that mentally deficient?"
"Micheal is a very popular name. And I think we're doing okay." The girl in the scarf and sandals.
"We are here to stop people from coming into this sorry excuse of a death house."
The giant banner indicated some kind of protest going on for the Savemart.
The girl came up to Alexi "Hi, I'm Kayley. We're here to stop corporate crime. Will you support our boycott of Save Mart products until they end their use of sweatshop labour in Malaysia." She was really cute and seemed very friendly.

Alexis looked at the young girl before her, and the scent hit her full force, but it wasn't coming from the girl. It was from one of the males in the group. She almost cracked a smile.

She nodded at the girl, taking a drag from her cigarette. "Sure, I'll sign it," she said. "Sweatshop labor needs to be stopped." She glanced over at the group, pinpointing one in particular, and she glanced at him, the one with the scent.

The girl smiled, sure that this would be the start of a productive day.
"If you can give me your email and address and phone number. We can put you on our mailing list and inform you about our club and or our mailing list..."
She rattled on and on nervously.

The young man was talking to some other people distracted and quite angry, disheveled black hair had a unpredictable wild curl to it. He wasn't joyful about his work like the others, but more enthusiastic.

	Alexis nodded at the girl again, showing a friendly expression. "Sure thing," she said, and gave the girl her email address and cellphone number, since she didn't have a landline. She glanced at the boy once more, and decided to speak. "You," she said, to get his attention, taking another drag of her cigarette. "You don't look too happy to be here."

"Well people are morons. At the very least most of the morons affliated with this organization actually do something. I swear. It makes me so pissed." He said
He placed the clipboard down.
"Everyday I have to come out here and tell people whats going on. I die a little." He said. filling out some form "It's like no one cares. People are still going in. WHat is wrong with them?"

He pointed toward a few customers exiting the store. "Your savings are built on the backs of child slave labour you morons."

	Alexis stared at the boy a moment, before she laughed. "You're so dramatic," she mewed. "It's adorable. It's nice to see someone get so worked up over a cause." She tossed her cigarette to the ground, and walked over to him. "You have a name?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-08 09:37 am UTC (link)
	He looked at her sharply "Collin." He said "I don't find such things so amusing. I have a social conscience." He shook his head "You have a name?" He said snottily put Kayley's board down. THough it had her Name Address and horoscope on the paper. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alexis," she told him. "Please, call me Lexi." "You have an attitude problem, as well," she told Collin. She sighed. "But, I can't blame you. After all, I think I can't understand...what with what you're going through." She sent him a glance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-08 09:55 am UTC (link)
	He looked at her "What life in this world? I'm doing my part." He said. There was something strange going on. This girl was approaching him in an odd wise way he never expected. "Otherwise I dn't know what you are talking about." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alexis raised an eyebrow, and frowned. He honestly didn't know what was going on, what he was. She bit her lip.

"I think it'll take a while to explain it all," she told him, honestly. "Take a break from this, and I'll talk to you. I think there's something you really need to realize..."

She didn't always know how to go about this, she usually never told anyone what they had become, they had usually discovered what they were before she found them.

	"Look I've got big stuff to deal with lately." He said "I'm interested in dating right now." He said. "So I don't know what you are about..." Now someone was giving him an answer to what was wrong with him, he didn't want to know. He wanted her to get away. There was something strange in the air. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alexi_stone 2008-03-08 10:08 am UTC (link)
	Alexis sighed. "I know what you're going through..." she told him. "Not knowing what you're doing, why you're acting certain ways, why you have sudden urges, you emotions are eratic..." "And if you don't learn it now, you're going to lose control." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-08 10:20 am UTC (link)
	He looked at her suspiciously. He gritted his teeth. "I could leave. Lead the way." he said. He wasn't going to talk in front of everyone that was sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alexis led him off, further away from his group of friends, and mulled over things she could say in her head. Having someone tell you that you've become a monster really wasn't the best thing to go through.

"Uhm...so...this has to be weird," she told him, sympathetically. "It was weird when I found out what I was..." She sighed. "Have you had any weird experiences lately? Anything that just seems off to you?"

"Yeah. But its kinda just a medical problem. I've probably just been eating too much candida overgrowth, or I've been exposed to microtoxins in the air. I mean this is New Jersey." He said "People underestimate the impact of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation in this country. Did you know that the average adult doesn't get the eight hours of sleep they need to function at optimum levels?"
He said. As they walked away.

	Alexis sighed, and shook her head. "Uhm...yeah..." There was a coffee shop ahead of them, and it didn't look too packed. "Do you drink coffee or tea?" she asked him gently. "We can go in there and talk, if you want." I think you may have to sit down for this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well I could go for some coffee. Just as long as its not Dunkin Donuts." He said "They know why."

He followed he into the store. "Look I kinda got to admit. It seems weird that I would need to sleep walk. I get enough sleep. I don't eat garbage. I run everyday and like do hot yoga like 4 times a week. Why would something like this happen to eat. I mean my parents never had anything in their lives. No diabetes, no pyschological things. There is no reason."

	alexi_stone 2008-03-09 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Alexis nodded, and led him into the coffee shop, and found them a table in the back corner of the room. "How long have you been sleep walking for?" she asked him. "Does it happen and then not happen? Like...during certain times of the month, or week?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Collin looked around. Yeah. Like usually like everyweek around thursday or something at like 700 oclock... Its more like when the sun is gone. And I normally stay up later then that. I got late classes."
"It got worse like about three weeks ago. I was out with this girl at a party and I took her back home, and after that I was totally sick..."
He shouldn't be revealing it. Maybe it was a weird brain STD. Like he was nervous it was about.

	alexi_stone 2008-03-09 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Alexis nodded. "Uh...did you have anything weird happen to you before you started sleep walking?" she asked him. "Do you remember anything attacking you? Or blacking out; is something really blurry?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Look I think that like I said before. Is a personal matter." He didn't want to talk about his sex life with a stranger. That was sure. That had been a wild night and he was pretty drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It usually is," she murmured. "My cousin...well, that's beside the point." She shook her head, and looked down at the table. "If I tell you I went through what you're going through, would you believe that? That there's something a lot...deeper then just sleep deprivation going on with you?"

	"Caffeine is not what I need right now.' He pushed aside his drink "What is it like some weird African Crazy jungle herpes or something? Or you know is this unclassified by the juvenile dictates of Modern Medicine." He said "It's not contagious is it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alexi_stone 2008-03-09 02:14 am UTC (link)
	Alexis stared wide eyed at him. "No," she said. "Uh...no, but it's bad. Well, it depends on how you look at it, how you learn to deal with it. To deal with what you are, what you've become, been brought into." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Really. Cause it just seems like a big pain..." He snapped a little. "You know where I was thursday night from 8:00 to 4 in the morning? You could tell me. I was sitting in a garbage can. I had something in my mouth I could no longer define by flavor or texture." He said "I'm bugging out."
He said "And you are saying it can get out of control?" He said "I just have to know."

Alexis nodded sadly. "It can really get out of control if you don't learn to control it," she told him.

"You're...you're a werewolf, Collin. That's what you've become. I'm one, too, and I have been for years, since I was a lot younger, so I've had time to adjust and come to terms with what I am, it's a part of me now." She frowned. "I'm so sorry I had to tell you, a complete stranger had to help you realize."

	Collin looked across the table at her as if she was from another planet. "What?" He couldn't believe his ears. "Could you repeat that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're a werewolf, Collin," Alexis repeated with a frown. "You were bitten by a werewolf, and, now, in return, you are what they are..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What in the hell are you talking about?" He said "Werewolves aren't real. I'm in bind here and you are making jokes." He said. he was getting disgusted actually at the insensitivity and the ignorance of others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alexi_stone 2008-03-09 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Alexis growled at him, glaring at him. "Not real?" she asked him. "We're very real. I could rip your face off, if I was really that cruel, but I would never do that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-09 02:34 am UTC (link)
	He was a little off put. "Look. I don't know what is going on. But you know werewolves aren't real. I never met one. And trust me I am very well traveled. Wouldn't people know about it?" He said "Somebody would talk about it or start like a mailing list or a werewolves club or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Alexis smirked. "We keep ourselves well hidden. Very well hidden, indeed. And you have met one. You've met me. I've been a werewolf since I was fifteen, my cousin turned me. My family kicked me out when I was sixteen, and I lived in a pack for several years."

"I don't expect you to adjust quickly, it takes a while to get used to, it's very hard to understand," she explained. "And, again, I apologize for this. But I'm here to help. Because a lot of us, when we're turned? We don't have help. I had help. And so now I try to help anyone who is like me when I find them. I'd like to help you."

	alexi_stone 2008-03-10 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Alexis growled at him. "Do you want to go crazy and kill those you care about?" she snarled at him. "Do you want to lose all control?!" She shook her head. "I've seen a lot of bad things happen to kids like you, who don't want to accept what they are..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-10 02:01 am UTC (link)
	He was taken aback. It seemed as if his ears flatened like an angry cornered wolf. "But it doesn't make sense." He threw aside his coffee. He was nervous. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know it doesn't," Alexis said, keeping her tone of authority. "I'm sorry that it doesn't. But it can, you can adjust." She knew she had the boy cornered, and instict would most likely show that she had more power in the situation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-10 02:27 am UTC (link)
	He backed up. Everyone was staring and gaping. the coffee was hot and he darted up "Ow!" He snarled and backed into the wall. He was feeling boxed in like before. It had happened earlier when it was like he didn't know what he was doing. It had been happening more and more. "Why did you do that?" He said looking confused at the mess.

Alexis sent him a dark glare. "Do you feel it, then?" she asked him. "It's instinct. I've backed you into a corner, and you're going to try to fight me, even though you're going to lose."

She sighed. "I'm sorry, but if using force is the only way to get it through your thick skull, then that's what it will take. You aren't alone in what you're going through. You don't have to be such a prick, you can learn to understand and accept what you've become."

	"WHat happened to the coffee?" His memory was swiss cheese. He could barely remember what he was doing today. He looked around "My head. Hurts... Is this. This is what is happening." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alexi_stone 2008-03-10 02:39 am UTC (link)
	Alexis sighed, and calmed herself down. "You spilled it," she told him. "You were angry...Do you remember anything? What we talked about, who I am, where we are?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-10 02:47 am UTC (link)
	We were at work and I did your interview and we were talking." He tried to piece things together, he didn't like pretending "It was only like ten twenty minutes ago." He gripped his head "What were you saying?" He said. His senses were overcome with the disorientation changing back and forth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alexi_stone 2008-03-10 02:49 am UTC (link)
	Alexis frowned, it didn't make sense, his short-term memory loss. She grabbed a few napkins and began to mop up the spilt coffee, then tossed the soaking wet napkins into a garbage can. "You're sick," she told him quietly. "You've undergone a change. And I'm here to try to help you cope with it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icebox_fox 2008-03-10 03:28 am UTC (link)
	He shook his head out as if he had water in his ear. Something trying to get out. "Just tell everyone I'm not feeling good." He said stumbling a bit. It could be dangerous, if he had no memory of what his were-self did. Like something out of a monster movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
