[while the wolf is distracted by Scaranke's flash and demigod distractions, Lethe transforms into a cat and zips past the wolf, turns back into a furry (gloves on! no touching Forever Scales directly, we've learned this from Cepheus) and slaps some scales right onto the back of the wolf's head]

[ meanwhile we're going to raise a brief wall of water to try to catch/absorb those stray shots before they hiT anyone ]

Sorry--

[puts him down if the floor hasn't turned into Wolf King lava]

[ Settles into a defensive position near Charon, charging up a non-lethal energy blast in case Lethe's attempt fails again ]

[well

fun facts since they're all here and have a clear look at this wolf, especially after that flashbang.

This wolf isn't wearing a mask.

What does that mean? Mystery! But it doesn't matter, as Lethe shoves a bunch of scales at him all at once. And it they work about as predicted, but slightly different on someone actually from this world. Immediately he cries out, half is body and fur greying, aging, decaying exponentially, other parts of him seeming younger, an eye looking larger and child-like. Old wounds open up from his body beneath his suit, new skin and fur grows over others. He frantically waves the gun around, getting out two, three more shots, before his paws are too shriveled to hold it anymore.

Soon, his body is a contorted mess of forms he's experienced his whole life and what could be in the future. He's still alive, but only barely.]

What the fuck was that?

That's not exactly what we were going for.

[,

puts the scales back in the pack. we're saving those. he does Not have any healing items in him, just first aid that won't do much for...this poor guy.

steals a glance at Charon as the only guy here who can maybe Remove Status Effects]

That's messed up.

[ yikes!!!!! ]

[ —The energy blast abruptly dissipates harmlessly while one of those stray bullets dings off his armor ]

[ And then the armor retracts and Ananke rushes forward, already digging in his pocket for a vial of tears to start applying to the worst of those injuries ]

Shit, shit, shit— We're sorry!!

[WHEEZES INTERNALLY, REMOVES THE WOLF'S GUN, AND PUTS A HAND SOMEWHERE UNINJURED TO CAST GUARDIAN EARTH

it's very pretty there's a lot of gold lights and little green iillusory plants around him and the wolf for a few moments there. the hope is it treats the aging effects as status effects and wipes them out]

Do not die.

[Unfortunately his orders don't work on this wolf like it does the others,

BUT the RPG heal does........heal his wounds. So that's good. He's still a fucked up mass though. Holy Beast magic, man.

Also he was in the middle of locking the filing room door. The code on it is flashing red since the last bit hasn't been put in. The reader has a message:

What kind of Pack comes in all sizes
They come in all colors but especially white?

There's a timer too. Ten seconds. ]

[ Kevin squints at the pad from where he's standing back. oh good reading on top of everything. ]

What kind of - uh - what's the rest say?

[relays the message mentally to the demigods so they know what's going on,]

That could be--paper? Socks?

[ ty lethe ]

Socks sounds good to me? ...Do wolves wear socks?

Canines...?

Socks makes more sense...

[ Gives the poor blorted wolf an apologetic pat and hurries over to the keypad to type it in! ]

[He types it in!

BZZZT

A voice rings out: SECURITY BREACH, ENFORCE QUARANTINE PROTOCOL.

Nothing seems to happen and then...........FWOOSH. The room from the inside goes up in flames. So much for those files!! And the fire will eat its way out the door soon if they aren't careful but like, they have a water user, so they're probably fine.

Either way, they should probably get going as the alarm keeps blaring. Security wolf bro will be fine! (no he's gonna mcfucking die off screen but also hey, an ID card fell from his pocket during all that, maybe that can be of Use)]

Edited 2024-06-23 23:31 (UTC)

[god dammit. scoops the ID and the corpse]

Cepheus, put that fire out if you can! Lethe, keep the scales with you! Let's all head to the top left room; move fast!

Edited 2024-06-23 23:37 (UTC)

[ well luckily the alarms are blaring so much that it doesn't matter if he swears loudly!!! ]

On it.

[ summoning as big a wave as he can muster to throw at the room and quench that fire ]

Edited 2024-06-23 23:39 (UTC)

[ cursing in Greek, Kevin moves to run forward towards that room now ]

[welp]

Got it.

[he'll help Charon carry the guy if he can, but otherwise booking it to the next room up]

[ Suiting back up to follow the group out ]

[As all the the wolves are dead, they get to the top-left room with zero problem! It does require ID access though, but so long as they run the ID through the card reader, the can enter easily!

.......into a breakroom! Which is connected to a larger room on the other side. It looks like this worker doesn't have access to THAT one, but they can see through the large window what's on the other side.

It's some sort of factory line, or was, anyway. There's another exit in the closed off room, as demonstrated as they may catch the literal tail end of wolves leaving said room, probably because of the loud blaring alarm.

But that aside, the assembly line looks as if they were creating...masks. there's a few still on the factory belt they can see through the glass window, made from melding holy artifacts together. Given how few there are and the tools around (a welding torch, tongs, some other bullshit, it looks like they take GREAT care to not touch the artifacts directly until the mask is complete), it looks like it takes a lot of effort to create even one mask. . .

in the breakroom itself, there's a vending machine! Hm hm. There are some chips and snacks there--'Scister Chips, Deer Jerky, Pygmy Pops'--stuff like that. There's also a leftover sheet of paper on the break table. Most of it isn't legible, with a lot being scribbled out or being in the Wolf language they can't read, but at least one part is in sheep-ish: "Stock low! Negotiate?? Too many victims."

What do.]

Edited 2024-06-23 23:52 (UTC)

Victims of the Wolf King's corruption...?

Someone take that paper and let's get those masks and tools -- with caution, I don't want to fire their whole assembly line.

[is there another riddle pad into the factory or what. he's not dialing it instantly, just checking]
