DAY 84 | TO: ALL REDS, SUBJECT: MISTWOLVES
[ there were a lot of people plopped down into drop point A, running from mistwolves when the Ajna mission started, but there's a lot of those people who aren't around anymore. there's a lot of new recruits eager to start earning mission brownie points on Red, as well, but frankly, jack would love it if they didn't have another episode of let's all grossly fail dagger and watch people get put on a hit-list, because jack's not interested in wasting more of his poison plant gift from gliese, or watching people he knows learn what happens when their cuff gets turned off, thanks.
so, since he's thinking he's the only red team member that had been a senior blue before, and been assigned a mistwolf (the same one he ended up with this time around as well - something he was maybe a little pleased with) on the prior Ajna mission that got these creatures to the Neheda, he ought to share what he knows about the process. teaaaam woooooork. ]

TO: ALL RED TEAM RECRUITS
For those of you that weren't on Ajna, and for all of you that weren't a senior Blue for the previous mission that landed us babysitting murderous little fog-monsters, there's some tips you may want to consider if you volunteered to play keeper of one of the mistwolves. For the sake of your day not being as miserable as it could be. [ because either way, it's still a pain in the ass. nothing from Ajna is ever too far from 'pain in the ass'. ]
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
First thing, mark them. Just a collar or a paint brush isn't going to work. You need something lighter, more like a mist or a spray. I crushed a paintball over mine on Ajna.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Skip that step and you're going to either A) completely lose your mistwolf, B) lose your mistwolf, and then find a different one later, thinking that it's the original one you had, only to discover how wrong you are when you turn them in and an instructor looks at you like you're a moron. Or C) watch your mistwolf go play with some of its other mistwolf buddies and realize about two minutes in that you have no idea where one wolf ends and the next one begins.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Second thing, don't try to close them into a room or a cage. It's not going to work.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Third thing, don't play with fire near them. You will have a dead mistwolf very quickly. Fourth, they don't eat meat, don't waste it trying to feed them.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Fifth and final - they play fetch.
Have fun.

Unusually helpful.
[Because it's you :| ]
FROM: barnes.james@cdc.org
It chews meat that resembles a leg.
[Doesn't actually eat it, though... It just likes to maim, which he can appreciate.]
FROM: barnes.james@cdc.org
What will it eat.
no subject
Unusually verbose. You're welcome.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
It also hurts like a bitch if they bite your actual leg. They attack for territory, not food.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Energy, from you. Or another.
no subject
Its known territory is gone.
[Haha... ha. And the Neheda is nothing like Ajna, Yeva hasn't shown interest in claiming any part of this ship.]
FROM: barnes.james@cdc.org
Energy. Explain how.
no subject
You'll notice they aren't mauling as much.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Physical energy. Let it chase you for a while. Or someone else. Doesn't really matter I don't think. If you notice yourself getting more tired than you should, then it's working.
[ and it took jack about the entirity of that day playing fetch to realize he'd been pretty much stuffing Goliath's face, once someone else dropped the energy-feeding bomb. he slept for eons. also, he named it goliath. he really hopes goliath chases david at some point while he's back. because jack thinks he's hilarious. ]

I need a better definition of what you mean by physical energy.
FROM: uchiha.sasuke@cdc.org
What about a combination of physical and spiritual?

So some sort of powder that's going to stick, then? Thanks for the heads-up.
no subject
That'd work, yes. You'd probably want a distinctive color or design on them, though. In case someone uses the same thing you do.
no subject
I'll see what I can do.
[Why no, she's not wondering how she can get a powdery version of the Shinra logo on hers, why would you think that...]
no subject
There should be paint left over from the half-moose half-cat hunting adventures before. I'll lend a hand if you need it.
[ because he's checked her file and remembers her from when he'd been patrolling with ringo. seemed like a decent girl. plus, red. reds are good people to play nice with. ]

Then what do they eat
bad dreams?
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
I feel like Jay Z is hungry but it's hard to tell if those are begging eyes or murder eyes when his face is all...dew.
no subject
You're Red, do better research. [ aka son this question has been asked already. but nah, he has no issue going back over it with Peter, he's just saying, you need to be a creeper on this team. Get in everyone's business. ]
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Jay Z? Seriously? [ and he doesn't even get the pop culture reference, it just sounds stupid. ]
They eat energy. It's probably already been feeding off you if it's been sticking around.
no subject
Why bother when you're gonna answer me anyway?
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
His head looks like a potato, just like Jay Z's.
FROM: parker.peter@cdc.org
...So...it's feeding off my presence alone? Is that gonna be detrimental later on? I won't get lymphoma or something weird right?
no subject
Because I don't like repeating myself and I might give you incorrect information just out of spite alone.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
And Jay Z is who?
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Probably. Something more along the lines of energy herpes. Nonfatal, but embarrassing and immensely uncomfortable.

Do you have spare paint?
no subject
I have a few paintballs from Sturmhond left. There's probably still some paint left from out moose-cat hunting adventures. They were set up in the safe hub.
no subject
What do you want for a paintball?
no subject
A favor owed in the future? Or a beer. I'm not picky, at the moment.

action thread or handwave, boo? :O
either/or! you can respond to this or drop it and we can handwave
leeets do handwave, to save inbox space for drop things
no subject
who taught them how to play fetch? because i kinda doubt it wouldve been the puke monsters
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
unless it was the puke monsters and you can just pretend i didnt say that
no subject
No idea. It could have been the puke monsters. There could have been a whole coexistence harmony story going on there that we completely missed.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Or they could just like chasing things.
no subject
well sure but theres a big difference from chasing something and chasing something to bring it back to you
FROM: ellie@cdc.org
its kinda cute
no subject
Well, once the ball stops moving/running for its life, it has to find something else to terrorize. So I suppose the person who threw it works well enough. It's just convenient that they're capable of making the ball run for its life again.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
The one and only thing about them that is, yes.
(no subject)
(no subject)
no subject
did you actually fuck up that entire list the first time around or did they come with an instruction manual
no subject
Yes, I did, and no, they do not come with manuals. You're benefiting from my past suffering. You're welcome.
no subject
even the part about fire
FROM: strider.dave@cdc.org
or is that why you turned in the wrong wolf
no subject
Well, not the entire list. I didn't end up with the wrong wolf, just spent a lot of time chasing mine before I actually got it marked.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
Fire, I thankfully learned about beforehand. I had the great priviledge to be assigned the initial drop point that was directly into a valley full of mistwolves. So we're practically old buddies now.
