    But, strangely, whoever these intruders are... They smell like werewolves themselves.
    Therlynn stops moving, and shouts to the people she can smell in the trees, "OK, I know you're there! And I know you smell like werewolves, but if you were, you wouldn't be hiding! So I'm going to ask you to kindly not try to do something you'll regret!"

    So what about you? How did you handle the guilt?"
    Amelia asks a bit tentatively, trying to sound understanding.

    ((Yup, Happy got the name right. ))

    At hearing her own momma's voice, Melody begins to awaken. M-momma? I'm so- she takes a breath, somewhere between a yawn and an inhale. -tired.

    Lyanna looks up at Happy, then back to where her momma is. A bad man took Estia away. she says, looking back and forth between the two, wanting to tell them both. But don't worry. Reinholdt and Miss Quinn went after him. she says confidently.



    Desperate to get to her remaining child, Jezebelle begins pulling at what looks to be a loose rock. Just a moment, baby. Derek and I will be right there.

    Derek will find a little space at the top, but not enough to immediately crawl through. Perhaps if he shifted some of the smaller rocks.


    Happy kisses Melody on the forehead. "It's okay, hon. Lyanna's taking good care of you. I'll be right back."

    As much as her maternal instincts are screaming at her to stay with Melody, she knows Jezebelle is suffering even more, with one daughter missing and a barrier keeping her from the other. And shapeshifting is an excellent tool for shifting rubble.

    Then she pauses. Lyanna has no doubt seen her shapeshift before. But the thing she's doing now is much more extreme than growing wings or stretching an arm to reach something on a high shelf. She might end up completely unrecognizeable as a human. "Lyanna, I'm going to do some crazy shapeshifting to help your momma through. It'll look kind of ugly, but it doesn't hurt, and I'll be back to normal in a few minutes."

    She places her hands on the rocks and has her fingers extend like roots, searching for crevices to grow between. Once she has found a likely spot, she'll force more mass into the "roots" and push rocks aside, being careful to support what she's doing to prevent any further collapse.

    If she succeeds in making an entry for Derek and Jezebelle, it's quite likely that her entire body will be incorporated into the effort.

    That is to say, Denise has metal control for a super power and is trying to use it to unlock the desk.


    Western Ghost Town

    The lock is unfortunately not as well oiled as the cage bars are, and grinds as the power exerts force on it. With enough time and effort, she'll eventually get the tumblers to stick open and the lock to turn.

    The drawer comes unlocked, and the presence in the air seems to thicken as night finally rests heavily on their shoulders. Shadows flickering of their own accord out of the corners of their eyes only becoming still when seen head on.

    Whether they open the drawer now is up to them.

    "Oof, it got dark fast. Yeah, light it; I don't think I have a light on me." And then Denise will certainly open the drawer.

    Amelia nods, "How long ago was this? If you don't mind me asking." Her tone suggests she understands. She has dealt with plenty of guilt herself. Or rather worked hard to get to a point where she can ignore any guilt.

    ================

    [Melody's Island]

    Derek starts trying to shift the rocks around so he might be able to get through. "Jezebelle I think I can get through up here." Of course that is before Happy starts to shift around the rocks. Derek will probably have to scramble back out of the rocks when she does that.

    Western Ghost Town

    One does not often have the unique displeasure of being present for the sounds and smells of rotting flesh being torn open by the pressure of its own internal gas bloating, but if Krayger and Denise had to put a name to it, the unsettlingly fluid noise and sudden burst of nauseating fumes emanating from the drawer would certainly be a very close mimicry.

    Completely at odds with the sounds of light clanking metal that the two heard from inside while it was shut, the drawer is filled to the brim with fresh, unclotted blood that gently sloshes as the drawer slides, not quite coming up over the sides as its surface tension just barely holds it in its container.

    Krayger is, rather amusingly, completely unfazed. Eh, it's a bad sign to be sure, but he's seen worse in wizard's towers and Earl dungeons. He looks at it through his glasses just to make sure it isn't any ghostly/magic/psionic/whatever trickery.

    Denise steps back, crinkling her nose in disgust. She looks at it... and at first she looks like she's going to be sick. Then she says four words.

    "I need my helmet."

    She turns around and marches out of the jail, toward her bike and the helmet with it.

    The movement between the trees halts.

    A man wearing chainmail steps out into the clearing, crossbow held at the ready and aimed at Therlynn. The nocked bolt is silver and barbed, leaving no question to it's a purpose, a weapon meant specifically for werewolves.

    "I won't speak with you, not as mutts. Take human form, now, and this will end better." Hannod calls, still keeping as much distance from the girls as the clearing will allow. His free hand rests on the pommel of a sword slung to his belt.

    "Yikes, still pretty raw then I imagine. Time will help." There it is clear that she is speaking from experience. "I don't mind listening, good to know I'm not the only one that is screwed up. No offense."
