[ Normally this hall is quiet, secluded and separate from the more popular areas -- and it still is. All but quiet. Vicious growls and bangs come from one of the rooms, because something large and angry is trying to break out. The door is thick and solid and successfully preventing whatever it is inside from escaping, but it isn't discouraged. The sounds don't let up at all, and it's been going on for hours. There aren't many things that howl like that, and for anyone curious there's a safe way to investigate. A small opening provides a means to look inside the room. A window, before something punched through it, spilling glass and shredded, bloodied fur out into the hall. ]

[[ooc: yyyep. this is what happens when your friends are from Halloween Town]]

[That's a pretty basic message, thanks. She gets what it's for pretty fast, and she's about as grateful for it as she can be right now. Not that it stops her from grabbing onto it and pulling.]

If you break it, I'm not getting a new one!

[He's. not really bothering to pull back. If she does break it, he'll just have a lot of water on standby for when she's back to normal.]

[Well, she hasn't broken it yet. It looks like she's just pulling it in for now, with some breathy growling turned his way.]

[He'll let her pull it in some more, but not too far- there's only so far the hose will even go before it breaks or something.]

[Relax, it's stopped moving. This is because she's turning the hose so the water sprays outside.]

[...You know what, fine. Just for that, he's going to take the hose back.

Also now he's wet dammit.]

[Sucks, doesn't it? Riku snaps her teeth at the opening but moves away to shake the water off.]

You can't blame me when you change back thirsty.

[Grump. Fine, he's going to remove his shirt while he goes to turn the water off on the other end of the hose, because he doesn't want to hang around in a wet shirt.]

[She'll say she can, since he fed her peanut butter. But fine, leave her alone. She'll be howling and banging on the walls again in no time.]

[To get her to stop doing that for a bit, yeah. Does she need a squeaky toy or something?]

[No. She will be very insulted if he shows up with one.]

[IT'S TEMPTING! But no, he's going to sit opposite the door and hope she doesn't beat herself up too badly.]

[Oh, she will, if the sound of her repeatedly crashing into the walls suggests anything.]

[That makes him wince a little, but short of putting her to sleep, there's not much he can do. And he's not so sure Riku would appreciate that.]

[Who knows? As it is, she won't let up for a while. But she's not trying to purposely hurt herself, at least. She just wants out.]

[Maybe next time she should get locked up in an outdoor room.]

[He's free to suggest that when she's in her right mind. Which won't be for several more hours... Is he going to sit out there the whole time?]

[He'll definitely mention it later! And yeah, he's planning on staying the whole time.]

[She'll be very grateful for it later, when it's finally morning, and the pacing and attempts to escape stop. That one howl dissolves into a pained, but human scream -- only one, but it sounds horrible. The transformation is just as painful in reverse.]

[That has him up and unlocking the door immediately to help her. He's got the bag on him, and is digging out an elixir as he heads in.]

[He'll find her trembling but human, even with her normal skin tone. Riku looks quite the mess, lying curled in the corner on her side, hair matted and tangled. The clothes she had on before are shredded across the floor, which is wet from water and blood, littered with bits of fur. Blood is smeared across her mouth and neck, and by the looks of her shoulders they're going to bruise badly. But her hands look the worst. If Red were close enough to look at them, he could see that the nails are bent and broken. It's one source of the blood.]

Oh hell...

[He's wishing he knew healing magic at this point, but all he can really offer is potions and elixirs. He kneels down beside her, keeping pretty quiet.]

You there, Riku?

Mmm...

[That's close enough to a good response, isn't it? She's not lashing out at him, though she does try to slide away. But she can barely do it. All her energy was used on the rampage over the course of the night.]

Look, just-- don't move. You did some major damage to yourself last night.

[Will she cooperate if he tries to get an elixir in her. :/]

[Are you kidding? She couldn't protest even if she wanted to. Which is definitely not something she wants to do right now.]

Hurts.
