(Open) Not so dandy a New Year

WHO: Biffy and YOU
WHERE: Various locations
WHEN: Early part of January
WHAT: Biffy got a new power he doesn't know how to control. Guess you're about to run into him!
WARNINGS: Embarrassing moments of nudity!

It had been agonizingly painful when it happened. Bones breaking and muscles tearing. Biffy had been terrified when the change had happened (and maybe a little annoyed through all of it as his clothes became ruined) but he hadn't known how to stop it. Or reverse it. That emotional panic meant that he became stuck in his new form and barely managed to kick his pants off before he was off running.

In the darkness one would find a chocolate brown wolf running around. One with yellow eyes and what seemed to be a reddish colored chest. It seemed scared and trying to avoid getting into trouble anyway? Of course there was something clumsy about it. Like it wasn't used to the shape of its own body yet.

Biffy just wanted to get to the place that he felt safe. This new form was faster but he wasn't at all used to being on all fours...

[ooc: You read that right! Biffy is currently a wolf. He's rather emotionally distressed about this. However, if you can calm him down he'll be able to change back after a bit for an embarrassing moment where you find out he is very naked due to the transformation. Please note that he won't be able to tell you that he's a person until after he changes back unless you say something about it first. Wolves can't talk, after all!

Safety meant just one location for him right now. Biffy went straight to where Orion lived.

Sniffing it out and seeing in the darker areas was no problem. The real problem was figuring out how to get into the building. It turned out that was a lot harder to do when you didn't have hands. Biffy whimpered as he paced an alleyway nearby until finally he...

...he smelled Orion. He didn't know he hadn't been home but he did smell him returning now. Leaving the alley, he looked out to see him walking over and he cautiously moved out into the lights from the street lamps, whimpering a little at him.

To Orion it just looked like a wolf was suddenly coming out and looking nervous about approaching him. To Orion it also looked like the wolf was...wearing one of Biffy's sweaters? Torn sure but definitely wearing it.

Orion didn't like this new dark thing going on around town. But then, if this was the worst of it, he'd be fine with it. Inconvenient, and a little daunting, at its worst. Still, he made it a point to carry a flashlight, and his guns, no matter where he was going. He didn't like the opportunities the darker corners might present for other people to get the jump on those less suspicious. And, since work and necessities were still a thing, he of course has to go out as much as he normally would.

He's toting a bag of groceries on his way home this time. But he pauses when he hears a whimpering, and cautiously looks at Biffy's direction, seeing him step into the lamplight. A wolf? No, wait... maybe it's just a dog. He doesn't know how to tell the differences between these things properly. It seems harmless enough, at least. With the whining and the clumsiness, he's wondering if it got separated from its owner, or if it's hurt.

He bends down on one knee, setting the grocery bag on the ground beside him, holding his hand out to the dog.

"It's okay, come here," he tries to coax. Maybe he could get a look at its tags and find out where it belonged. He pulls out his flashlight to help him look through that fur, but then... he sees the torn cloth. A sweater? One of those high-end people that like to dress their animals, he guesses? But wait... that looks like one Biffy wears.

Does Biffy own a dog?

No. No, he's been there already with no dog to be found. Unless he got a new one? But wouldn't he have said something? He would, wouldn't he?

Maybe it's just coincidence? It's one Hell of one, though.

Well, first things first - tags. And he sets to look for them, gently pressing his fingers into Biffy's fur around his neck. And with no results, he just moves to pet the dog.

A sigh. It's still the middle of winter, isn't it? He can put up lost dog posters tomorrow. But for now, he'll take it in. Somebody's got to take care of it. With a sweater, there's no doubt this dog has a home. But how did it get so torn? So many questions, and zero answers.

He picks the grocery bag back up and starts heading toward his apartment, but then pauses briefly. How do you get a dog to follow you? Is this one well trained? Maybe it'll follow him on its own.

This Q and A game has got to stop. He doesn't know what to do with it.

"Uh... come?" He gives it a shot, and moves a couple paces to see if the dog follows.

Oh thank whatever was out there watching over him in that moment. Biffy moved closer and sat down, letting Orion inspect him. His scent was so comforting already and he already felt a little less distressed. Only a little though. He was still stuck in the body of a canine and had no idea how to change back. There were memories of him being immortal and loving a vampire. Vampires in some lores changed into wolves right?

Maybe that was what this was? Oh he had no idea. He just knew he didn't want to be a wolf!

What was Orion looking for? He was focusing on his neck a l... Tags. He was looking for dog tags. Letting out the most put out sigh, he waited for him to finish then moved to trot after him.

Until that command anyway.

Apparently wolves were quite capable of looking thoroughly annoyed because that was the look he gave his boyfriend with his newly yellow eyes before sticking his nose up and walking past him to the door to wait. Excuse him but he wasn't some common dog. He was well-behaved yes but he was far from a simple animal!

Okay yes Orion had no way of knowing that but that wasn't the point!

Planting his butt, he kept his nose up in the air while he waited for the door to open.

Orion just... watches the dog. He's pretty sure he just got a dirty look from it.

No way. Dogs don't give dirty looks. But this one... really has an attitude all its own. Yea, this dog must be from one of those high end people. What's it doing in this part of town?

"Good... dog?"

Oh, well. Orion opens the door, letting the dog in first, and then heading in himself to head to his apartment. He normally take the stairs, but opts to take the elevator today, just in case for a variety of reasons. Overall, he thinks it's better to get the dog in his apartment before it can attract too much attention. He doesn't give another command. He doesn't want to offend the dog any further.

When they reach his apartment, he unlocks the door and pushes it open, looking back at Biffy.

"After you, I guess."

A huff at the good dog part. Excuse you, he wasn't a dog.

Leading the way each time, he went into the elevator then into the apartment. Right away he went over to the couch and jumped on like he'd been here before. Mainly because he had. A quick sniff showed him that Orion really was doing his best to keep the place clean. He would have to show his approval when he could talk again.

If he could ever talk again.

Oh no he hadn't considered that. What if Orion was stuck dating a wolf now? Biffy flopped down and suddenly there was a depressed looking wolf in a tattered sweater on Orion's couch.

Uh...congrats Orion?
