If anybody needs water, warming charms, anything else - let me know. I've got my magic working now that I'm out of my pod.

	Is a pizza delivery out of the question? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	deeringdo 2017-07-20 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Unfortunately, yes. I could probably make something that looks like pizza, but you wouldn't want to eat it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You doubt the iron-ness of my stomach? Oh ye of little faith. Joking aside, glad to see you made it. And am I the only one getting creepy deja vu from these pods? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deeringdo 2017-07-20 05:13 am UTC (link)
	That's not something you want to challenge me on. I could make it out of something incredibly disgusting. No, you're not the only one. And I'm glad you're here, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could start listing all the horrible things that have gone into my stomach via my mouth, but I'll save that for day three when we need some good distractions. Oh good. The whole not being able to do anything inside is new though. I think... I don't really remember much of when I was inside the last one... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to hearing that list. Hopefully we'll be bored for a bit.

Yeah, I don't remember that either. People popped me out of mine while I was still unconscious, and I never knew which of the pods we brought back was the one I was in.

BEN

D'you think that power-blocking thing applies to wolves, though? Because that could come in handy.

Granted some are not by choice and more cautionary tales of 'this is why you make sure your mouth it closed before landing in the East River'.

Same. I was pretty bad off when I got pulled out anyways, so I'm not sure I would've noticed if there were dampeners or not.

[James]
That is actually a good question... I mean, it'd make sense if it did. If it stops your magic, you could transfer that over to it stopping the curse from doing what it does. It's worth experimenting with, especially since...

I don't remember the moon being this full last night.

East River's that gross, huh?

BEN

Oh - I was just thinking it might be able to keep you in. But hey, if you didn't transform, that'd be even better, wouldn't it?

[...] Shite. Yeah. How do you feel?

Only a smidge better than being in the actual sewer.

[James]
Ha, I leap-frogged right over you there, didn't I? But, I mean, either would be good, right? Not transforming even better, but anything that could keep me in one spot... We'd just need to finagle it so that it couldn't be opened from the inside. Last thing we need is all that good work messed up because a paw landed in the wrong spot.

Cranky that my down time is now revving back up time? But relieved that I didn't step out of the pod into a really bad situation?

I spent plenty of time with sewage in Mt. Weather, I can imagine it.

BEN

Leap-frogged. That's an excellent phrase. I'm going to use that.

Not transforming would be brill. I'm crossing my fingers for that. But I imagine we can find some way to modify it to lock you in even if it's resistant to magic. Magic warding might work on the outside - or if our kinds of wards don't work, maybe someone else's type of magic would.

You're right, our timing could've been worse.

Mt. Weather really is nothing compared to NYC, but that does give you a good idea.

[James]
It is a very fun word. Especially when you've got the skills to be able to leap frog anyone no matter the height.

My fingers are crossed too. That'd be... that'd be great. Like getting spoiled up in space all over again, even if the 'room' is smaller. I wonder though if the magic warding would work on mine or not... It's worth testing.

No kidding. Y'know, I don't mind all this upheaval and travel, except that I always have that intense moment of panic of what day we're actually on...

	Yes yes. James, I'm glad you're here too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	deeringdo 2017-07-21 03:48 am UTC (link)
	I'm so glad you're here too, Lils. Let's make ourselves a nice little magic shelter, yeah? And lots of extra water bottles, just in case magic goes away or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lillies_ 2017-07-22 01:05 am UTC (link)
	Yes. And we're also going to work on some shield charms for the entire community, too. I know you're good at that, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I'm definitely going to work on that with you and the others. We'll get something that works for everyone.

LILY

I may also need your help with some work on the pods. We're thinking that they might make good places for werewolves to go during the full, especially since they have that magic-blocking thing.

	JAMES lillies_ 2017-07-23 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	Of course! Oh, that's a good idea. Do you think the pods might stop their transformation completely? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LILY+JAMES deeringdo 2017-07-25 05:16 am UTC (link)
	That's what ~~Ben~~ er I'm hoping. Wouldn't that be nice if they did? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: LILY+JAMES lillies_ 2017-07-25 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	It would, yes, absolutely. I suppose the only way we might know is to test it out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LILY+JAMES deeringdo 2017-07-26 04:11 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. So we should probably put some reinforcements on them on the outside, or something. Just to be safe. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: LILY+JAMES lillies_ 2017-07-27 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	Precisely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	LILY+JAMES deeringdo 2017-07-29 04:08 am UTC (link)
	We've got lots of great minds. I'm sure we'll come up with something. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maybe in a bit we should go for a run, see what we can find? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dogstarred 2017-07-21 04:12 am UTC (link)

I heard they're going hunting in the morning, so maybe before then.

Also, it's almost the full.

	Of course it is. How close to the full are we? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pads+Prongs deeringdo 2017-07-25 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Not sure. A few days? A week, at most. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pads+Prongs dogstarred 2017-07-26 03:16 am UTC (link)
	All right. At least that gives us time to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pads+Prongs deeringdo 2017-07-26 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, we're thinking of using the pods. Maybe that magic-blocking stuff will block the wolves. (Reply to this) (Parent)
