The Wendigo are targeting specific people.

I don't know what the criteria is, but when they select a target, they'll ignore anyone else who tries to get involved.

If you know people that are stupid and self-destructive enough to go out at night, check up on them.

And if anyone has had luck tracking them, I'm interested to know how. I'll trade whatever information I have, or anything else you want.

( o h she likes this woman )

any particular identifiers? or shall i wander kyst screaming your name until i find you?

[foxlore]

I can be there within the hour, but I can't make no promises on... me finding anything. On account of most all the forest smelling a little like dirt.

⟪ but it has to be tried, doesn't it? she's hunted using her fox-nose before, this isn't so much different. ⟫

[romancekiller]

i'm sorry.

are you okay though?

[catsy]

[She doesn't respond to the apologies, because she doesn't think they're hers to take. Bruce wasn't hers to mourn, not anymore.]

I don't suppose you think surviving a fight with one means someone is safe, [she says wryly. Not that she cares; she is one of the people who's going to go out anyway. Such is life.]

[catsy]

[yeesh.] Have they done stupid or self-destructive things in the past?

i'm stupid i meant *FORSVAR what are locations

[catsy]

I won't say that WOULDN'T work.

Check the rooftops. I'll have a red flower on my lapel.

[catsy]

[There is a not insignificant chance this'll just lead them to Bruce's death site, but it's worth a shot.]

Do you have a dog or something? [Only a little accusatory. She's not really a dog person.]

[foxlore]

No. ⟪ and then, added: ⟫ Don't worry. ⟪ it did sound a little as if selina doesn't particularly enjoy dogs. ⟫

It's –– I'm a fox. ⟪ alright, that statement has caused some confusion before. ⟫ I can turn into a fox. And I've hunted as one plenty of times – I've got a fine nose for it.

[catsy]

It ignored me altogether. I suppose that makes me lucky.

[catsy]

[That claim is not the weirdest think she's encountered all month, so... tentatively, she accepts this. She would like to see it happen in front of her first, though, ever the doubting Thomas.]

Handy. [O to be a full furry.] Have you hunted by blood?

[foxlore]

⟪ if any place can make furry dreams come true, it's fellden. ⟫

Yea. ⟪ and, if it's any reassuring, she'll be able to hear that flora's moving. she'll be there as quick as she can. ⟫ Easier to catch prey that's already injured. ⟪ still, while they have a little chatting time as she walks: ⟫ I... may wind up leading us to the scene of the attack, depending on... the amount of blood.

⟪ if it's more wendigo blood, it won't be an issue, of course. but she is trying to be as diplomatic as she can about this. ⟫ I'll have to smell it to be sure. Worst comes to worst, there's sure to be a track to follow at the ... at the place where it happened.

[chronosynthesis]

Well, that is... slightly more assurance than if you have not spotted one yet. But you may wish to remain on the safe side.

[Says the guy who's also going to be going out anyway.]

[reynir]

i

don't know? we just met a couple of weeks ago. maybe they have?

no worries!!

[darkined]

that's romantic.

meet you there

[identifier]

Yeah.

And are you all right?

[lallipop]

ok
thanks
sorry about your friend

[catsy]

[he's not my friend i hate him b-baka etc]

It's alright. Better him than me.

[catsy]

[She's not exactly keen on the idea of going back to The Scene of the Crime, but...]

The snow's probably covered anything by now. But let's hope there's enough blood to get a scent.

I'll see you soon.

[catsy]

Sure. I'm not the one whose chest was ripped open.

[catsy]

That's pretty good advice. [Note that she's not saying she's going to take the advice...]

You might want to follow it, too.

[catsy]

Oh.

In that case, yes. Check on all of them. Encourage them to stay indoors at night.

[lallipop]

[What.]

what does that mean?

[catsy]

It means I'm still alive, even if he isn't.

[This is a lie; she'd rather die ten times over if it meant Bruce could live, because he's that much more important than her, but she has a reputation to cultivate.]

[lallipop]

that's all? you don't care?

[catsy]

I do. But I don't have the luxury of mourning right now.
