video | backdated to end of December
[Pod starts the video, and is obviously in a library, with her white hair piled carelessly into a sloppily braided-bun to keep out of her eyes, and a book with a howling wolf's head etched into the cover in her arms. It's a big tome, and she looks awkward holding it.
Her wolverine is present, though only by the sound of his snores as he naps in a chair nearby.]
Well met, all. I am still getting used to these, so I'm not sure how best to start...
An introduction will do! I'm Pod of Gray Holt, recently come to this world and court by way of one of the Healwort Guild's chapter-houses in Kelneth. I don't suppose to be fortunate enough to reach the ears of anyone who's heard of any of those, and that is beside the point of this.
[She straightens, losing some of the awkwardness.]
I need to learn more about werewolves. I know there are some, native to this place, and others come here from other... worlds. That still is so strange to say. Anyway, I've found some things written in the books, but I've never heard of werewolves before coming here, so don't know how to tell fact from over-embellished tales.
I was hoping someone, or someones!, here could guide me in the right direction. I especially need to know the proper conduct when trying to talk to a leader about important matters. I don't believe I've the exact right wording of it, though.
((ooc: This is relating to Pod's quest, the log for which should be going up no later than the seventh, and will be linked here when it is. Just wanted to get this part done up so I wasn't juggling a log and an open locket post all in one night. If there are any characters who would like to ICly accompany and/or assist/interfere with Pod's little diplomatic mission and want to be personally notified about the log I can do that!))

[Video] We can call their introduction in the TDM as canon if you'd like! :)
[Zhaneel's eartufts flick forward in open curiosity.]
What is a werewolf? [The gryphon has met a good many creatures here in the Drabwurld, but that's a new one to her.]
[Video] works for me!
[Not that long, really, but Pod remembers well the conversation outside the stables. She still hasn't found a suitable mount, but other business is much more pressing.]
And I hope any werewolf listening forgives me if I am wrong, but I am given to understand that they are both wolf and human, and can transform between the two. And... I don't know much else, not for certain. I could tell you what the books say, but how much is merely tall tales?
:Db
[Zhaneel fluffs her feathers up, beak gaping in pleasure.]
Well enough, Pod, thank you! And what of you and Kiga? You have been well, I trust? [Her ears flick forward and she tilts her head slightly in question.
Ah, horses. Well, Pod, Zhaneel was acting the part of a Seelie taxi so if you need a ride, just ask! ;) ]
Truly? I knew of a raven named Diaval... he could change into a man, but I do not think it was the same. His magic came from Maleficent... at least originally. I did not know there were many others here that could do such a thing.
[She envied they that could explore the human world as a human, but it was not something she mused about aloud. Then she nods her beak.]
Takes many, yes, but there is also truth among the tales... best, perhaps, to do as you have done and ask.
no subject
[Pod's expression lights up at the mention of Maleficent.] Oh! I've met Lady Maleficent. She made me markers so I could find my way to Cothromach, though that will have to wait now. I promised the wolves that I would help them. But truly, I didn't know her magic could be used to change creatures! Ravens are fine ones, though. I knew a couple at home, and they have sharp senses of humor.
[She nods at the last, smile playful and bright.] Aye, and now the hard part! Waiting for someone to respond with answers to my question.
