riverview | 001. video. un: stonerwolf

[At first when the video feed clicks on it shows a ceiling but then with the noise of someone knocking things around the camera angle swings wide and downwards, revealing a mop of shaggy hair and then a kind face with blue eyes and the kind of stubble that speaks laziness rather than style, grinning widely enough to show off some perfectly white teeth.] Well hey there... city? I mean I guess I'm talkin' to all y'all at the same time.

[The feed moves as Drew stands, taking his phone device with him.] This thing is a hell of a lot fancier than my cell at home I mean look, 'm basically in HD. [Cue a moment of preening after that particular Texan drawl, the bartender looking at himself for a minute, satisfied with the results.] But uh yeah, guess I'm kinda gettin' off track here. The names Andrew Warner, but my friends call me Drew... so basically all of y'all can call me Drew 'cause we're all gonna be friends, right? [There's a look of glowing optimism in his face because Drew didn't exactly make enemies to begin with.]

Guess life here is kinda like life home, I mean with the basics at least, I'm gonna be tendin' a bar here, so I hope at least some of you like to drink. [He nods at that, as if to himself, it was basically home sweet home... just with some glaring differences that he wasn't going to get into right now because they worried him.]

Thought I'd introduce myself at least... but one last thing. [He grins, eyes suddenly glowing a supernatural blue, the focus of the camera changing momentarily.] Any other werewolves out there? Guess I'm kinda in the business for an alpha.

You must still be high if you think I believe that.

Why the hell y'askin' me what stoner means if y'already know what high means I mean damn kid I was tryin'a save your innocence.

The implied question was "are you a stoner".

( The innocence ship sailed the day he left the artificial womb. )

I don't need you to save my anything. And don't call me kid.

I mean I guess I'm as much of a stoner as the next werewolf? [He makes a noise like a hum as if he wasn't going to delve much deeper into it.]

Well y'kinda sound like your five? I mean what d'ya want me to call ya? [Because Drew's deep Texan voice doesn't leave any room for guessing.]

Is that common where you're from?

( Drew can't see it, but the look Damian gives the device is one that says he might have gotten hit if they were talking face to face. )

I'm thirteen. ( Practically an adult. ) My name is Damian Wayne.

I mean yeah totally. It ain't like, I dunno, people with blonde hair but there's still a pretty heavy amount of us.

[Drew is lucky they are not face to face he doesn't want to face the hellbeast's wrath.] You're thirteen? Wow. I got a kid sister about your age, least I think she's thirteen now. Nice to meet ya, Damian.

Stoner werewolves or werewolves in general?

( Not many do. )

How do you not know how old your own sister is? ( Useless. ) Are all those drugs destroying your brain cells already?

( The sentiment isn't returned, Andrew, if it wasn't obvious already. )

Both. Considerin' how the government gives drugs to werewolves for free.

Guess its been a little while since I've seen her. [He sounds almost wisful.] We're talkin' years. Didn't anyone teach y'how it ain't nice to be rude to strangers? [U lil bitch.]

Your government gives drugs away for free?

And I'm being polite. ( This is him being nice, Andrew. Deal with it. )

They sure do. Its part of the SRM, one of the rules for werewolves 'round the lunar cycle. [He says it all matter of factly because it doesn't seem weird to him at all.]

That ain't polite! [He says it a little exasperatedly.] Polite folk don't run 'round askin' people if their braincells are gettin' destroyed... besides, I don't have to worry 'bout that kinda thing... this body of mine don't fall apart.

What's the SRM?

This is polite for me.

The Supernatural Rights Movement, same name they use for the event an' all the laws that came with it.

Well shit, I'd hate to see what y'think ain't polite.

What is the Supernatural Rights Movement?

Most people would.

Just the most significant event of the twentieth century. [He could go into it at length thanks to his schooling but he didn't necessarily want to bore the kid.] Bunch of supernatural types got bored of hiding underground so popped up an' started kickin' up a fuss 'bout how they wanted the same rights as humans 'til they got 'em.

Not where I'm from.

What other "supernatural types" are there?

All kinds of things, I mean there's werewolves, vampires, witches, sirens, faeries... its one hell of a long list.

Does your SRM protect them from human's?

Its meant to... but that don't always do shit 'bout hunters.

How do you protect yourself from hunters? Do you fight them yourself?

They ain't exactly common in Austin but if its the choice between me an' a hunter y'can bet your behind I'm gonna protect myself. [He mostly relied on his alpha to deal with those kinds of situations however.]

Do you kill them?

( The important question. )

If I have to. [Drew wasn't about to say no, not when it meant someone could try take advantage of his own ideals if it ever got out.]

Do you ever want to?

( That's important here, too. )

Hell yeah... you try livin' with a wolf inside your head an' see what happens when someone threatens ya. [Drew's feelings when it came to wanting to do things versus actually doing them featured a huge disparity after all.]

I've killed people for lesser reasons.

( It should be alarmingly how easily a child says that. )
