A Question

I have a question for all of you if you do not mind. It has to do with certain powers that some of us are regaining. How does one control something like the sudden arrival of superior strength and speed? It's becoming very problematic for me and I know I've disturbed my roommate on more than one occasion because of it. He's not on the app like those of us here so this is proving to be very difficult for him. Any suggestions for how to control this will be welcome. Thank you.

Okay, he's really a bit worried.]

If you're worried about him not understanding app things, you could always....

Come live with me...

I guess.

.....

Just because I'd understand, and you wouldn't have to worry about me freaking out or anything.

.....................Only if you want to, though.....

[The first response he get is from Orion. Who proves to be consistently adorable and understanding of his situation.

It makes him smile as he reads the jumbled message.]

Are you sure? I would hate to impose on you like this. Especially if I might break something accidentally.

[bitemefightme]

You're never imposing.

And I don't think I have much to break, anyway. Even if you did, I wouldn't mind. I'm more worried about you, and I want you to feel safe.

[And, well, if he can be that same safe place for Biffy as he has been before, he's more than happy to let Biffy move in.]

[dandyofawolf]

[Those words... Wanting him to have a safe place. They mean so much to him in that moment after he's been stressing out about this for several days.]

We may need a bigger space. With that said, I would really appreciate that. Living with someone I can talk to about this and who understands would be nice.

Don't move.

How much faster and stronger are you now?

[livingimpaired]

Is that when you are a werewolf or all the time?

[dandyofawolf]

That isn't exactly an option nor does it help me to learn to control it.

[dandyofawolf]

A great deal more. I broke the handle on the bathroom door today and created a dent in the wall behind me when I very suddenly rushed back from being startled.

[dandyofawolf]

Apparently all the time because I am a werewolf.

[livingimpaired]

An unfortunate added bonus, then.

I'm afraid I have very little advice beyond camp out at a beach until you get used to your new abilities. I say a beach because at least you can enjoy the sight of it.

[dandyofawolf]

I am truly not looking forward to more weeks spent getting used to a new ability.

[livingimpaired]

How did you get used to being a werewolf?

That is not meant as a slight or snide comment, but I am wondering how it is that you learned control in that state. Furthermore, are you aware of yourself? Or was there a time when you transformed that you were more beast than human?

[dandyofawolf]

So far it seems I am fully aware of myself. However, I had help from a friend who patiently worked with me to figure out how I could focus on going between forms an easier task.

It did take weeks to master though.

[livingimpaired]

I see. That is very lucky for you, then. On both accounts.

But it is unfortunate that it isn't something you can relate to your current abilities. That would make one task easier if you already know the steps to the goal.

[dandyofawolf]

I remember when I first started changing into a wolf I didn't know I was a werewolf. Fortunately someone mentioning that I might be caused me to remember that much.

So until I supposedly remember how to control this I just have to figure it out. And it's proving to be very trying.

[livingimpaired]

I see.

So until you can perhaps trigger some memory of how you learned how to control it the first time, there is nothing that can be done about it. I'm afraid I can't offer more help than the suggestion. So until then, you may have to be an outside wolf, hm?

[compendiem]

It's a shitty option, but it still counts. Also an insensitive joke, sorry. Can you not just move slower and more carefully?

[bitemefightme]

Yea... my apartment is probably too small for two of us. We can look around, find something you like.

...It's what I'm here for.

[toobigtohandle]

That's... a bit different from what I have seen in other people. I can see how it could be troubling on a day-to-day basis.

How are you doing with the piano?

[liberal_arts]

Just how much stronger are you, now?

[dandyofawolf]

Find something we like, Orion. We'll be living together.

[dandyofawolf]

I am trying but it takes a great deal of concentration which means it's not happening naturally.

[dandyofawolf]

I haven't played since I discovered this. I'm afraid I'll break it until I can control this.

[dandyofawolf]

That really isn't an amusing joke. Just for the record.
