The Road Not Wanted

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[A massive, primitive-looking creature appears on the Plane, vaguely resembling a snow leopard, but bigger. Stockier. With longer, shaggy fur. It's paws are huge; its teeth long enough that a half-inch of fang protrudes down from its upper lip. Its tail is a long gray plume.

A glint of metal peaks from the nest of hair on the crown of its head. A spark plug, embedded in its skull. Cy shakes herself, the smell of snow and thick musk rolling off of her. When she speaks, her voice is deep and rich and wild.]

I fell in. Fell in? The pool should be covered, the Road should be blocked. How could I just fall in?

[Frowning himself. Puts his weapons away and thinks for a second] Maybe you'll change back on your own and it's just taking longer than usual?

[Gets up and starts pacing.] Scared to go back, though. The Old Way curved through the city--it doesn't do that. Can't hide behind a dumpster this big.

You're in a city? Damn...[He knows what kind of panic Cy will cause in the middle of a populated area] You could try waiting here until you go back to normal.

There's no sign of time a-passing back where dreams come true. If I wait a week if I wait a day, will it go away?

[harmonixerdemon.livejournal.com]

Huh. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Staying here for a while can't hurt at least.

[She flops.] Pets in the mean time? Makes it kinder.
