[Video] Week 33 - Friday Morning

[Private: Lyall, Neville, and Jack]

[Atticus is in the room he's kind of laid claim to in the Flop. It's a carefully neutral backdrop for this message, no indication of where he's going or what he's likely to be doing. He might not want to vanish entirely but he still doesn't exactly trust everyone here.

Still, considering the unpredictable environment and the chaotic time anomalies everyone's been on about he figured he should at least mention it to a couple people that knew what he was and would understand that he was capable of caring for himself.]

Just dropping a note to let you guys know I'm taking off for awhile. Could be a few weeks before I make it back. [He lifts his right hand, a vague gesture to his tattoos, an implication that it is Druidic business without outright saying it. Even over the network on a private feed he's paranoid. But then again Aenghus Og found him on the internet so maybe it was justified paranoia.] Shouldn't be anything to worry about but... if you guys see Oberon in town without me it could mean trouble.

...where are you going?

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Just have some things to work out with Verdana, that's all. Planets aren't the fastest conversationalists though so it'll take some time.

[Lyall's voice is a bit amused when he replies.]

Is this the kind of "off" where if I catch your scent anywhere I ought to leave it be?

[Video]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

[And he's equally amused. Werewolves are always so practical.]

You're more likely to smell Oberon but... it would be appreciated.

[Audio]

[professorwolf]

[Practicality is not necessarily his middle name; efficiency is, though, and that's what he's interested in here.]

Very well. Do come see me when you're finished and let me know how it goes?

[And then he'll know when the guy is back, and all. And maybe they can go hunting.]

[Video]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Sure thing. Oberon will be miserable from being ignored for however long this takes so maybe we can treat him to a decent hunt when all’s said and done?

[Because shifting forms won’t be quite so draining for him if all goes as planned.]

[Audio]

[professorwolf]

Mustn't disappoint the dog, of course. I would be happy to oblige.

[More happy than he ought to admit. He's been wanting a good hunt with actual four-foots ever since he knew they were here.]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

I'll be able to use the exercise myself by then. But I'll let you know when I get back and we'll plan something.

[Because he wants to go hunting too and Oberon, of course, will never complain.]

[professorwolf]

Excellent. Good luck in your endeavors until then.

[infourbooks]

[Why does this sound like something Harry would randomly mention before heading to do something incredibly dangerous?]

You'll be... careful?

[wisdom_of_hounds]

[He has far more experience dealing with things far more dangerous than Harry, Neville, don't worry. It's sweet that he's concerned though.]

I'm always careful, Neville. I've lived too long not to be.

[infourbooks]

[That's vaguely comforting. Would be more so if he didn't spend so much time around... well, Gryffindors.]

Is it very dangerous, what you're doing?

[wisdom_of_hounds]

[If Hogwarts existed in his world Atticus most definitely would have been a Gryffindor. But then he’s older than Hogwarts so maybe not.]

Shouldn’t be… and Oberon will be with me if anything goes wrong.

[infourbooks]

Is he a good fighter then?

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Let's just say my hound isn't exactly a stupid domestic house pet.

[infourbooks]

Oh, he's magic?

[It's nice to hear something familiar]

[wisdom_of_hounds]

Kinda. I've bound my consciousness to his for long enough that he's picked up English so he's smarter than the average hound. We hunt together sometimes too and... well he's a hundred and fifty pounds of wolfhound, he can take care of any of the smaller things that might come poking around.

[infourbooks]

That sounds really advanced.

[wisdom_of_hounds]

It's actually one of the basics of Druidic magic.

[infourbooks]

Wow, it really is different from what I know.

[wisdom_of_hounds]

That's half the fun!

But I need to get going, once I'm done though I should have something to show you that I think you'll like.
