Why is that?

*shakes her head* Long story... *curls her hands into fists*

Well I hope things will get better.

Thank you.

.. I... I don't know what I do. And, what to do.

You okay hon?

Yes... no... No. *hugs herself*

*reaches out to put her hand on her shoulder*

You need something? Someone?

*flinches slightly*

I don't know. I think I've been doing ... bad things, but I don't remember them.

You don't?

Howabout this, I buy you something to eat, and we'll talk about them yeah?
Try and figure something out.

I'm Joan, or Joanie, doesn't really matter.

*nods* Al-alright. Thank you.

I'm Vivian.

No worries Vivian.

there's a cafe a little while away from here, has the damndest best burgers in the state. That, and there is free re-fills on their coffee.

...Burgers sound unusually good.

*hasn't eaten a good meal in a while*

Then we'll order a half dozen to split.

*begins to walk her towards the cafe*

*follows silently, taking deep breaths*

*stays just as slow*

Do you want to stop for a minute? do you need an inhailer or someting?

*shakes her head*

No, no, I just feel lightheaded. I'll be alright after eating.

*picks nervously at her now-clean fingernails*

Okay...

We're almost there, and then we'll be all set.

*opens the door for her, helping her inside*

Thank you.

*walks in, looking for a seat*

*finds a booth and takes her coat off before sitting*

So Vivian. does the... events happen a lot?

*shakes her head*

Only recently...

Do they happen at a particular time... say of the month? or on certain days?

I can control it usually.

*sigh* I'm... I'm a loup groux. I cannot resist change during the full moon and I can change at will.

But I usually remember what I do.

*...*

I.... but you dont' remeber?

I just wake up with blood under my fingernails and aches in my muscles.

how often has this happened?

Every night for about a week.

*...*

Do you have anyone you know... you knows about this?

I haven't told anyone...

*swallows*

I see.

*the waitress comes and she orders a dozen burgers and two things of fries*

what would you like to drink Vivian?

*softly* Just water, please.

*nods to the waitress and she goes*

when did... this start?

... When I left my boyfriend...

was... he?

No.

That was the problem.

*Calls whispers, kneeling down besides the girl* Young one?

*looks up* H-hey.

Are you merely attempting a new exercise fad or is there something desperately wrong?
