First Vlog | video | daemon: hunterd

[bratpack]

[ Wyatt had tried typing on Hunterd's weird light-based keyboard for all of about eight seconds, before he got tired of that and turned the camera on instead. It's late, there's a hole in his side, and he has things he needs to do. He's wearing a hospital gown, and he's clean. He also looks strangely healthy for a patient, a result of his real powers coming back in full force. ]

What is up, my people. I'm Wyatt, and this guy – [ Gesturing at his daemon, and therefore directly at the camera. ] – is Hunterd. Well, I guess you can't see him. Uh…oh, check this out.

[ He snags a handheld mirror from a bedstand nearby, and holds it up in front of Hunterd. It shows a daemon shaped like an enormous black wolf, easily twice the size of a regular wolf. Those of you who knew Wyatt's adoptive dad, Hunter, might think he looks familiar. After a few seconds, Wyatt lifts the mirror away and grins at the camera. ]

He's badass, right?! He's like a robowolf. I mean I guess you all have one of these but damn. Hunterd is a beast.

Anyways, we are brand new to Space Apocalypseland! Welcome to our first vlog. I'm calling this episode: What the fuck was up with New York, man?!

[ He holds up his hands. ]

Now, I know what you're thinking. 'Wyatt, don't be stupid, that was just some crazy dream', right? That's what I thought too, except!

[ He holds up one finger, then steps back, and pulls the gown off over his head. There's a square dressing over his ribs, which Wyatt peels back to reveal an ugly, jagged wound held together with stitches. He points at it. Exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen. ]

Check this out. Do you see the size of this thing? I think it's gonna scar!

[ Which he says like that's great news. He pats the dressing back over it and leans down towards the camera. If he's in pain, he's not showing it. ]

I ain't ever had a dream that did that. But for real, that shit was fucking crazy. How many of you had your powers switched? Cause, check that box for me, but also, they turned me human, and I'm a goddamn werewolf, guys. That's not cool. The hot guy who rescued me, though? He's cool. Man, if you're listening to this, I owe you one. I think you said your name was Jaden? Hold your hand up or something, I would literally be dead if it wasn't for you.

[ That's the most sincere Wyatt has sounded in this whole video, though he's actually been serious about everything. He doesn't put the gown back on, implying that he really does intend to film the rest of this in his underwear. He does move to sit on his hospital bed, though. He might look more energetic than he should, but that wound is still healing. ]

Next on my list: calling home. Does anyone know how we do that, cause Hunterd says he can't, and there's a bunch of people I know who need to get their asses here. It's important, I'm kind of a big deal.

[ Pause. ] I'm just kidding, but I do need to talk to them, so if you got tips, help, advice. Carrier pidgeon? I'll take it. I guess that's all. Come say hi, this place is fucking boring. I'm out!

[ He salutes the camera while it signs out. ]

[scarrings]

I could help with that wound, Wyatt.

[bratpack]

[ Oh goddammit, now he has to do the texting thing again. Okay, poorly typing at Hunterd's face... ]

uh, okay, vayd. are you a doctor cause i'm already at the hospital

[scarrings]

It's Shane. From home.

[bratpack]

what

are you serious? i thought i lost you!
i thought i lost everyone oh my god

are the others here?
are hunter and henry here???

[scarrings]

I'm sorry, Wyatt.

It's only you, Rafa, and myself. As far as I'm aware.

Hello Wyatt
I am new as well so I should probably defer to more experienced residents, but I imagine your best bet is the Citadel. They seem to have many complicated machines there
In general the technology of this world is staggering
I think I have also identified some for wound healing, though if you fancy a battle scar for the purposes of boasting and wooing impressionable beings, I would spend more time with the natural process
To the extent that's possible for wolves

[bratpack]

citadel
ok cool thanks man, i'll check it out
something with a name like that can't be that hard to find

anyway don't worry about the wound, it's all good. i mean, it wouldn't be if i were still a fragile as fuck human, but you know
not a problem anymore
that mean you've met werewolves before?

[bangitybang]

No problem
I think you are right. I asked my daemon for a picture and it seemed very tall

I will refrain from worrying. I know werewolf healing is very robust
Yes I've met your kind before. Or creatures similar to you at any rate
There were a lot of different kinds of wolves even just in my world

I was a guardian of sorts. Usually for those 'fragile as fuck' humans, but occasionally wolves too

[and other times they hunted wolves, but that's 'maybe later' information.]

[bratpack]

a guardian? like what kind of guardian
you ain't human yourself?

[ They could be, of course. Humans are not all unable to defend themselves, and Wyatt well knows this. Still, from the way Janus is talking, he doubts it. ]

i'm used to all kinds. i live with werewolves and vampires, even a demon and a harpy from time to time
i don't think you'll surprise me

[hasitsthorns]

[ And Rose thought she tended to talk a lot. It's... cute, honestly. Charming, how genuinely energetic and friendly he is. In a way, she's envious of that. In another, she wants to know him better for it.

She tries not to think too much about the fact that Wyatt calls Jaden 'hot' either, but. Hm. Hhhmmm. ]

Lucky for you, a lot of people think scars are pretty badass. Including me.

As for phoning home, I wish I could help out there. Still haven't quite figured that one out yet.

[bratpack]

Scars are definitely badass. I'm down.

[ That's if Shane lets him keep it. He suspects it's unlikely.

This girl, though. This girl walked straight out of his dreams. Literally. He grins, pointing at her image on the screen. ]

Hey, I know you. You're Rosie, right? I sold you shit in the other world! This is so weird, I don't know how many people I knew were real. But you are.

You were there the night it exploded, right? That's when I got this. [ Gesturing at his side. ] Were you okay?

[hasitsthorns]

[ Well, she can see why someone would want to heal the wound sooner than necessary at least. He's a werewolf - so she knows he can handle it - but still. ]

That would be me, [ she answers, beaming right back at him. ] And you totally did! I haven't done anything like that since my roadie days, honestly, so that was... interesting.

[ She remembers the night in bits and pieces, as if it were just some elaborate dream moreso than an alternate reality Though she does recall- ] I got a few scrapes and bruises. Nothing that can't be kissed and made better.

[bratpack]

I think you were lucky.

[ Not just because of Wyatt's own injury, but because of the people in the club who hadn't gotten out at all. The thought of that is really kind of horrifying, even though he knows they weren't all real. Remembering it is like trying to recall some terrible nightmare. ]

I still have some of the stims I gave you. The blue shit? It was in my pockets. You can have it if you want, there ain't much left and it's no good to me here.

[ Besides which, he's a werewolf now. He doesn't need that kind of a booster; his metabolism would burn through it quick enough to be worthless, anyway. ]

[poenitudo]

this is jaden

it was no big deal you don't need to thank me

i'd rather if you didn't, really

[ Because as soon as they were back, Jaden had smelled Wyatt's true nature on him, and... well, he didn't really want to deal with that. Having Rosie on his back was bad enough. ]

[bratpack]

[ Finally. ]

hey!

dude don't tell me it wasn't a big deal, you saved my life
it's a big deal to me.
not everyone would've done what you did, i was nothing to you. or to anyone else in that world, i was basically trash and you saved me.

that's worth something. i owe you, man.

[poenitudo]

you don't

[ Urghl. Jaden can already tell what kinda guy Wyatt is. Earnest. Cute. Puppy-like. The kind of guy grandmothers love.

The kind that won't let go. ]

okay fine, if you want to do me a favor, then just...
you know, leave me be? I don't need another werewolf around.

[ It's harsh, and Jaden feels kinda bad about it, but it's really for the best. For both of them. ]

[bratpack]

[ You know, if you really wanted Wyatt to leave you alone, that wasn't the best thing to say. ]

wait, you're another werewolf?
but man that's great! i mean i'm not gonna stomp on your territory or whatever

do you have a pack? i thought i was the only one!

[astralera]

If that wound proves troublesome you are welcome to contact me. I am a talented healer and did not lose my touch while away.

[bratpack]

oh hey
that's real nice of you but i'll be okay
werewolves heal fast. you should've seen it when it happened, i'm much better now

thanks for the offer though

text;

[astralera]

That is good to hear.

The offer has no expiry, if you have need of me in the future.

Re: text;

[bratpack]

thanks. hey you ever think about working up here at the hospital? if you're really a healer i bet they could use you
i figure injuries might be a thing around here
seeing as it's a war and all that

daemon: hexd

[vexy]

[ Vex knew that wolf, very well in fact - even without the name. Just seeing it made a lump form in his throat and so he avoided looking at the message for a few days. Eventually, he replied via text. ]

nice pup

looks exactly like him

[bratpack]

[ What is this message abo....

Oh. Yeah, okay. The daemon. ]

you mean hunterd

you knew my dad?? in the other world?

[vexy]

yeah

name's Vex, i was his best mate at his wedding. you're his boy, huh?

should've seen him, he was a nervous wreck. but after the rings went on he couldn't stop smiling.

[ He missed that smile. ]

[bratpack]

kind of
i'm adopted.
but yeah, he's my dad

the ghost kind said he was at the wedding too
i don't think he knew hunter so well though

you must have if you were his friend. was he happy there in eudio?
