Werewolf Attack!

[Whatevr89532]

"Uh, sort of. I mean, I've b-been..around town for a few months, but n-not really in this part of the city or anything."

[AmbushCat]

It would explain why I've never seen you around here. *nods* Call me Thaddea... or Thunderball, whichever you prefer. And you?

[Whatevr89532]

"A-allen Chontos. A lot of people used to j-just call me 'Al'."

[Ookalf]

Well, I dunno if we've met, but I'm Ookalf!

And you can call me Yoko. *Before introductions can go much further, the waitress runs back in and place two large, meat-packed burgers on the table of Ookalf's group.*

And we're back! That didn't take long at all, did it?

[AmbushCat]

"A-allen Chontos. A lot of people used to j-just call me 'Al'."

I'll stick with 'Allen'. Greeting you with "Hey, Al" would sound like I was reciting a children's book.

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were cooking them already when the group arrived.

Al seems to practically freeze in place for a couple of seconds, looking at his food. It looks like he's drooling. Then in the time it would take someone to blink his face is two inches away from where the burger was, and the burger is firmly held in both hands, about half of its mass being shoved whole into his mouth. The especially attentive would notice that his teeth actually look extremely sharp right now.

Were we? I forget. *The waitress smiles and shrugs.*

Oh, my... Someone's a hungry little rascal, aren't they?

I'll say...

*Ookalf just shrugs this off and bites into his own burger.*

[Whatevr89532]

Allen is definitely eating like an animal, tearing up the meat by jerking his head back and forth. He doesn't seem to be reacting to what anyone's saying, either..

[Ookalf]

Well, I think I'll be off now... *The waitress leaves again.*

Al... Are you feeling OK?

[Whatevr89532]

Al makes some kind of sound from his mouth, but it's hard to tell what it is, or whether it's meant to be a response to Yoko, because of how full of meat it is. Even though he seems to be pausing to swallow every few seconds or so, there's always more meat getting shoved into his mouth to replace it. Still, he isn't attacking anyone.
His ears, meanwhile, rapidly grow to the big, fur-covered triangular shape they had in his werewolf form..but the rest of him looks normal and human enough, other than the canine teeth.

Remind me not to get between him and a cow convention.

[Ookalf]

Dad... Dad! *Yoko gives Ookalf a quick poke in the stomach, which causes him to look up from his burger and notice Al changing.*

Oh boy...

You don't think he's gonna freak out on us, is he?

Well, Circe's thing was supposed to help him... Are you still with us, Al?

[Whatevr89532]

All at once a long, wolf-like tail grows from Allen's lower back, finding its way between his shirt and pants and curling awkwardly in the chair. Then he shudders for a moment, seems to actually try to talk but is muffled by the mass of meat in his mouth. He coughs a couple of times, somehow swallows a huge chunk of what's in the middle of his mouth and puts the meat down. He holds up a hand as if to say 'hang on a sec', and carefully chews and swallows the rest so he can talk. "I-I'm okay now. Thank you for snapping me out of it, th-that was..weird, I just felt really hungry and then..uh.." He pauses, just now noticing the changes, and taps his ear a couple of times with a hand. "When d-did that happen?"

[Ookalf]

When you started eating, I think. You were just tearing into that burger, and... This happened.

[AmbushCat]

Pardon me if I'm biased, but his appearance is an improvement.
