Who: Alex and you!
When: Mid to end of May, Full-moon
Where:River Temese, Tavern
What: Dealing with some troublesome full-moon effects, quest, possible catch-all
Warnings: Just mild changes
Full Moon/ Transformation
i. Fish Out of Water
[ She had heard that the full moon would have an effect on her now, but hearing was different from experiencing. On her way home from the tavern, her body started to feel strange. Something was changing, and it terrified her, and while she had been warned not to fight it, Alex couldn’t help but do that. It was her automatic reaction to anything that scared her. Her neck in particular felt uncomfortable. Not painful, but she kept scratching at it as she felt something start to form across the sides.
Not fully aware of her surroundings or where she was going, Alex found herself closer to the river Temese. It was only the sound of the water that took her attention away from her neck. Something about it was soothing..beckoning even, drawing Alex towards the ledge. She gripped at the banisters that prevented people from falling into the river, her nails scraping at it as she stared down at the water. Without much thought, she started to climb over the railing, the only thing on her mind being that she needed to be in there. ]
ii. 'Cause You're So Shiny
[ Even away from water, Alex is restless, scratching the back of her hands as something harder starts to form on her skin. She keeps her head low and tries to keep to herself and out of people’s way until she can find someone who could maybe help her out, but that plan is tossed out the mental window when her eyes focus on something else. Maybe it was the way the moonlight made it twinkle or maybe it was just pretty, but whatever it was, Alex couldn’t look away and suddenly, she just had to have it. Was it around your neck? Your wrist? Maybe you’re wearing a well-polished belt buckle or your favorite earrings.
You may feel a tug as she takes a hold of you, or maybe she goes straight for whatever shiny thing is on you. Watch out for the claws. ]
Tavern
[ Alex noticed a difference in the way people spoke to her in the tavern after the full-moon. While the monsters seemed more comfortable talking to her now, the human patrons suddenly became colder. Even the way they looked at her had changed, at least, it did when they caught sight of gills on her neck. On one hand, it was kind of nice to have the other monsters lighten up around her, but the way the humans looked at her was a little too familiar for her, and not in a good way.
During her break, Alex can be found in the back trying to decide between keeping her hair up, or maybe putting it down to try and hide the new additions. You might catch holding her hair up into a ponytail, then letting it go, then repeating those actions.
Do you have an opinion, or would you rather leave the weird woman to whatever the hell she’s doing. ]

First he quibbles:] You targetted my amulet, not me.
[He looks thoughtful for a moment, then admits:] I’m not sure. [Though he doesn’t seem phased by it. He holds up a finger.]
If you feel the compulsion return, try to give warning.
[He lowers his hand and replaces it with a question.]
Does your world have spirits, Alex?
no subject
I hardly even noticed you..I very well could have hurt you in the process.
[ But she nods at giving him a head's up if the feeling does return. ]
Not..that I'm aware of. Why do you ask?
no subject
Curiosity.
[He leaves it at that. The transformation that Monsters undergo reminds him of the transformations spirits sometimes underwent, but it’s a moot point if it won’t be understood. He instead is pedantic:]
In the process you may have, but it wasn’t your goal. Intent is crucial. Now that you know that your focus was on the trinket, you can prepare yourself for the next full moon. [He makes a gentle ‘as a suggestion’ gesture.] By, say, setting out trinkets you feel called to in a place easy to reach.
no subject
Do you think that'll be enough? Not--that I don't plan on trying it. I will. It's a good plan. I just mean...what if I like..your bone more.
[She does a 'as an example' gesture this time. ]
no subject
Then I would need to preserve a new bone to replace it.
[He is pleased with his strange jawbone – he did, after all, clean, preserve and polish it himself. He has worn it - flaunted it pridefully before the Templars, perhaps - since his wakening. In a foolish way, it’s flattering to have her attention on it. But he’d also not mind leaving it with Alex. It's only an object, something material.]
no subject
You..you don't have to go that far! Rather..don't let me go that far!
[ While it's a nice offer, Alex doesn't want that behavior condoned. She wasn't a thief. ]
