Who: Jacob Black & Derek Hale
Where: The park
What: Two werewolves walk into a park...
When: Monday, July 16th. Early evening
Status: In Progress

After work, Jacob had ridden his bike over to the park, deciding to kill some time there before Nessie got out of work and they could go get something to eat. Sure, Jacob was a better cook now and was less prone to melting the bottoms or pots or filling the apartment with smoke, but it was just easier to go out to eat. They just had to be careful not to eat too much or else they risked getting thrown out. They already got a look from the owner of the buffet every time they went in and he didn't want to wind up banned from every restaurant in Colligo. Then he'd really have to learn to cook.

Pocketing the keys to his bike, Jaocb began walking along the path that led towards the lake. He'd been to this park so many times now, usually with Nessie and usually much deeper in, so that they could run without accidently knocking into people, because that was no way to make friends. Come to think of it, besides Nessie, Jacob didn't really have any friends in Colligo. Sure there was Dean, who he got along with well, but he was also his boss. He didn't know why he'd never given it much thought, but he supposed it had been because Bella and Emmett had both been in town for a short time and he considered the two of them his closest friends and now they were gone. Walking further along the path, Jacob stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jeans and glanced around at the other people who were in the park; mostly joggers, but a few families, who were getting ready to leave as the sun began to go down.

"Cool. There's a coffee shop right across the street," Jacob figured that if they stuck close to the park then he could leave his bike where it was parked then head over to the dance studio when Nessie got off work. He gestured down the trail the way he had come and Derek had been heading then waited for the other wolf to start walking with him, "Wait, did you say that you work at the gym? I go there when I can. I'm surprised I haven't seen you there before." Technically Jacob didn't have to work out, considering he'd more or less developed the muscle that he had over night back when he'd begun his transformation into a Shape-Shifter, but he liked to keep active and running through the woods with Nessie didn't always cut it. "So, how did you become a wolf?" Jacob knew that, just like with the various vampires in town, the various werewolves all had different lore.

"OK," Derek says with a nod. He walked with Jacob towards the coffee house. He could smell where it was when he tried. "Yeah I work as a trainer there. Usually am pretty busy while working there." Derek did quite a bit of working out to keep himself as fit as possible. Sure he would still be strong and fast without it but it was better with the effort. "Oh I was born a werewolf," Derek says, "What about you?" His family had mostly been born werewolves but people could also be turned by a bite in his world.

"You could say that I was born a werewolf. It runs in certain families in my Tribe, but we don't always go through the transformation. According to the legends, we're mortal enemies with vampires, so it only happens when they're around and when I went through the transformation, there was a lot of vampire activity in my town." Unless Jacob wanted to get into the entire legend of Shape-shifters and The Cold Ones, he was just going to give Derek the abridged version. "If you had seen me before I transitioned, you never would have recognized me. I was a lot shorter and scrawnier. Then practically overnight I gained almost a foot a bunch of muscle." As they reached the edge of the park, Jacob glanced both ways before they crossed the street, "Do you have any special abilities?"

Derek nods as he listens to Jacob explain. "Yeah that whole vampire thing still it a little weird to me," Derek says but he had only recently learned just how much he didn't really know about the stuff in his own world. "There were a lot of werewolves in my family but there were also a lot of normal humans too." Him and his sister had both been born werewolves and had inherited it from there parents. "That sounds like a lot more of a change than I've seen when people transition after getting the bite. Usually it's just personality stuff though." Derek doesn't look before crossing the street he didn't hear any car coming so it seemed fine to cross to him. "What do you mean by special abilities?" He had the standard powers for a alpha now and hadn't heard of his abilities being any different from other werewolves back home.
