Sept. 8th: Running With the Wolves

((open thread))

After her date with Theresa, Murphy felt the need to burn off some energy. There were seven days until the full moon and she was already starting to feel really antsy. Or maybe she was still nervous about dating again. It was hard to separate the two.

She had been on the treadmill running steadily for a good thirty minutes, completely lost in thought.

"Wait, you're still there? You were running when I came in, how long have you been at it?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:12 pm

"Not long," Murphy says between breaths.

"Half an hour."

by **Gary Kelsey** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:13 pm

"Half an hour isn't long? You do marathons or something?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:19 pm

Murphy's legs tense before she leaps off the treadmill and lands heavily next to Gary. She grins at him and shows off a rather sharp set of teeth.

"Something."

by **Gary Kelsey** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:24 pm

Gary emotions were a mix of surprise and fear though he wouldn't likely verbally admit it, especially that last one.

Murphy grabs her towel and starts drying off.

"I hunt," Murphy explains. "Stalking? Chasing? Need lots of stamina."

She takes a swig of water.

by **Gary Kelsey** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:09 pm

"Uhh... what do you hunt?"

Don't say people, don't say people

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:16 pm

"Prey."

Wow. Jeez. Way to not sound like a total psychopath, Murph.

by **Gary Kelsey** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:20 pm

O....kay

Gary slowly backed away.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:21 pm

Murphy cocks her head. She looks confused.

"Scared?"

by **Gary Kelsey** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:25 pm

"No..no..I just realized I need to get started on my homework." He said then jogged off.

Oddly it wasn't fifteen minutes before class when Gary usually started on his homework.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:35 pm

Murphy just stands there. She looks confused and a little bit hurt.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:51 pm

"What was his problem?" the treadmill asked.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:53 pm

Murphy glances at the treadmill. Then she sniffs her water bottle.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:58 pm

The display indicator, which had shown miles, was now showing Will's face. "I mean, you're not that scary."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:59 pm

"Stanton," Murphy says. "Good to see you."

"Haircut?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:31 pm

"Haven't been to a barber since I was 12.

Or were you asking for one?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:36 pm

Murphy chuckles, "No thanks."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:36 pm

"Nice to see you back. I see you've been keeping in shape," he said, the display turning back to show the miles Murphy had run.

It was not correct.

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:51 pm

Murphy grins, "Not really. Just energetic."

"...Had a date."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:51 pm

"Oooh! Someone I know?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 10:56 pm

"Theresa," Murphy says. She's blushing a little bit.

Not very considerate of you, Murphy.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:10 pm

"OooOOOooo. I hope that works out well!

I tell you, you're lucky to be out of your old relationship with a minimum of fuss. No hard feelings, right? Good girl."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:20 pm

Murphy shakes her head, "Like Janice. A lot."

"Didn't work."

She shrugs.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:26 pm

"So, good for you for getting on the proverbial horse again!"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:32 pm

"Wants to stay with me," Murphy says. "Next full moon."

She sounds concerned.

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:36 pm

"Ah...and you're worried about, well, the whole werewolf thing."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:41 pm

"Shouldn't be," Murphy says. She sighs heavily and sits down.

"Something's....off," Murphy says. "More energy. Hungrier. Feel....more."

"Worried."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:42 pm

"You mean, something's off now? Have you gone in to the medbay?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:44 pm

Murphy gives Will a flat look. She's not a fan of doctors.

"Not that worried."

by **Will Stanton** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:55 pm

"Hey, don't blame your exercise machine for giving you good health advice," he chuckled.

"You think this could be a secondary effect? Of the curse?"

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:58 pm

"Maybe?" Murphy says. "Could be in my head."

She shrugs.

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:01 am

"Well, if you're feeling nervous, you could always get a chaperone."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:09 am

"Maybe," Murphy says. "Embarrassing."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:18 am

"Well, if you're...concerned...it might be good to do it in a group situation."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:19 am

"Like what?"

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:21 am

"I dunno. A movie, or a board game night, or camping or something."

by **Hannah Murphy** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:23 am

"Maybe," Murphy says. "Be nice to have company. In case."

by **Will Stanton** » Sun Nov 02, 2014 12:24 am

"It can be awkward if things go wrong, but at least it doesn't ruin the whole evening."
