Run, Wolf, Run
Who: Randolph Lyall and YOU
Broadcast: Yes, to the whole fleet
Action: Yes
When: The whole month of July
a. Wolf run [ACTION/BROADCAST]
[If you visit one of the natural islands during one of the evening/nights, you might run into a pair of wolves running.
Both of them are more slender than what you would expect a wolf to be. The bigger one has deep chocolate-colored fur with a shot of oxblood at the throat. The smaller one is sandy-colored with darker, almost black hair running along his back from his nose to the tip of his tail. He's so small you might confuse him for a fox and wonder why those two are walking or running companionably together.
If you're in human dwelling place, you might see them trotting around, looking everywhere and sniffing the air, with much more intelligence in their gold eyes than one would expect of a beast. If you leave the buildings behind to get into the forests or fields, then you'll see them taking off at extremely high speed. You might hear some howling as they finally get to stretch their legs and enjoy actual wind and air.
Don't try to hunt them, though. You might be in for a nasty surprise if you do.]
b. A night on the town [ACTION]
[Whether with Biffy or on his own, Lyall will only be seen roaming the streets at night. There is some shopping to be done, and of course, the theatre. Finally some place that is civilized and with a night life.
No matter the night you see him, Lyall will always be dressed impeccably in a three-piece suit in brownish tones, with a waistcoat of yellow or cream and a cravat in a suitable, muted color, plus a bowler hat.
When shopping, his preference goes to clothing, and also mechanical parts. You might have to pry him from exploring some second-hand shops with mechanisms and fascinating apparatus.
If you also go to the theatre, he might ask you what you thought of the play, and offer his own opinion.]
c. Mask Shopping [ACTION]
[Strange mists and a contraption that can help go through them and explore? Count Lyall in. Especially since the mist powers the technology here, and he is curious as to how it works. So off he goes to buy a good mask.]
Have you tried any of these? I'm looking for some recommendations.
d. Mist Exploring [ACTION]
[TW: threads may contain references to violence, torture and sexual assault]
[Lyall was certain he'd bought the best mask that he could afford, and that he'd used it properly. But it appears there may have been a small defect, and he's ended up breathing in some of it.
If you are nearby, you will see the mist coalescing into an enormous, black wolf, slowly padding out and towards Lyall. He doesn't move from where he is as the beast comes closer, refusing to back down, but he looks extremely small, even in human form, while facing this wolf.
If you are close enough, you might hear Lyall say something under his breath.]
You're dead. I made sure of it.
[If you would be so kind as to drag him away before the wolf gets any closer...
If you don't, the wolf will morph into a human shape and attack Lyall. He will attempt to dodge or minimize any 'damage', but he's not running away or really attacking back for some reason.
Help?]
e. Mask Tinkering [ACTION for SS BLAMELESS/BROADCAST]
[Following his misadventures in the Mist, Lyall is back on the Blameless and in the lab. He's taken off his jacket, which should tell you all you need to know about the fact that he is very focused on what he is doing right now.
Which happens to be consolidating the sides of the mask he bought, resoldering some parts, adding some leather in some places, or metallic bits. He is pretty absorbed, but will be willing to have a conversation if you come interrupt.]

no subject
[He leans forward to rest his forehead against Lyall's.]
You were alone for so long to put the pack ahead of your own desires. That isn't something you have to do anymore.
no subject
[The principle isn't, at least even if there have been times when the execution left much to be desired. He still doesn't regret it.]
no subject
[He looks right into his eyes.]
It is our pack. It is our duty to care for them. Together. You don't need to shoulder things alone and that is what I am talking about.
no subject
[It's not that he doesn't hear you. It's more than certain things are as ingrained as instinct and it takes a lot of effort to go against that.]
no subject
[And he gives him a fond kiss.]
That is what I am doing now.
no subject
[He's not saying he needs it, but he's certainly not stopping you. It's just been a long time since he's had someone by his side so preoccupied with his well-being. Conall wasn't a bad Alpha by any means, but as long as the pack was functioning and Lyall wasn't bleeding that was good enough for him. The concern used to flow the other way around.]
no subject
[He smiles and leans back.]
That is what partnerships are all about. Now, take your coat off. I'm going to brush your hair for you.
no subject
no subject
And other reasons but certainly for this one.]
