Connor Lupin Beowulf, known collector and eccentric of the town, had been murdered. Or, rather, accidentally murdered. A hunter had gotten lost deep in the woods and, fearing for his life, shot into the undergrowth where he had sworn he saw a wolf. Upon approaching the body it was… the naked form of Mr. Beowulf.

After his burial, his collection of items went to his next of kin, his sister Jessica. Jessica had no need for animal skulls and pelts. She dropped them off at the nearest curio shop at her earliest convenience. Jessica had only done enough research to know this business didn't ask too many questions, and would eagerly take the majority of the haul: a collection of wolf pelts. She didn't want to get into the legalities of owning them. Besides, she was convinced her brother had collected them until he was totally driven mad. Bad vibes. She wasn't interested in any reason why Connor had been buck naked in the woods.

You can get the pelts for $20 at the store, no questions asked. The store owner isn't convinced they are real.

You'd be convinced they were real if you wrapped one around your shoulders, however. You'd turn right into a wolf.

I'll add more rules if necessary, otherwise you guys probably know the drill.

Name: Beverly "Bunny" Stiff
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Does this character own a wolf pelt: Yes, very recently.
Do they understand they can use it to become a werewolf: Nope
Description: Bunny is short, coming up to a solid 5'3". She has blonde hair cut into a bob and light blue eyes. Her face is round and young looking. She is wearing overalls cut into shorts with a red t-shirt underneath it.
Wolf Info: She is a lovely white wolf with light tan marks, and slightly redder tan points. Her nose is a dark grey and her eyes are so icy and piercing they are nearly white.
Other: She's a graduate art student in town. idk I might add more here later.

It was a lovely day in October. Too lovely, Bunny reasoned, that it should be a federal crime if she didn't go outside. Her converses crunched through leaves on the sidewalk as she explored her little college down. It was a little Middle-of-Nowhere, and the shops reflected it. There were several thrift stores. Bunny was quite fond of them when she could get out to visit them. They were never quite as picked over as they might be in a bigger city.

Her pace slowed as she came across a small shop in the plaza that was rarely open. It's sign read ODD'S ODDITIES. It was pushed into its own little corner by a dimly lit pizza shop and an even darker alleyway that you could shortcut to the forest behind campus. Bunny had been through here to attend… extracurricular activities, but has never passed when it was open. She decided to go in.

The walls were a deep brown and covered wall-to-wall with fabrics, oil paintings, and tapestry. A little chime twinkled with the breeze of the open door and announced Bunny's presence. It smelled like grandma's house and old books. As her eyes adjusted, she was immediately drawn to a collection of animal remains on display in the back of the store. She had just recently done an illustration of wolves and recognized the dense, complex patterns of furs immediately. Her feet carried her to the display, and she lifted a white and buff pelt up gently with her fingertips.

((Hopefully you're ok with a post over a month later, and with the post itself.))

Name: Cora Davis
Age: 28 years
Gender: Female
Does this character own a wolf pelt: Yes
Do they understand they can use it to become a werewolf: Now they do
Description: Cora is of below-average height, with long wavy hair that curls past her shoulders. Though she keeps it bleached in order to change the color every so often (currently lavender), it's normally a dark brown. Her eyes appear large and are a shade of green. She's normally dressed in dark clothing that's comfortable for both traipsing through thick undergrowth and lounging on her couch.
Wolf Info: As a wolf, Cora is still on the smaller side. Her fur is a warm, yellow-brown gradient that starts with a kind of cream underneath and hits a honey color closer to her spine. Her yellow eyes stand out from the cream fur around them, and her nose and skin are a reddish brown in color. [see my current lead wolf]
Other: Recently moved to town in the past couple of months. On her downtime she likes to collect bones, fallen antlers and other such things from the forest. Self proclaimed casual witch, part time grocer and more part time costume designer/maker.
My online availability will vary greatly on any given day, but if I'm on and ready to type it'll likely be around 18:00-21:00-ish server time.

Not believing her eyes, Cora blinked. Sure enough, the yellow eyes she was staring at blinked in time. She glared at the mirror and took in what she was seeing. A golden wolf with hackles lowering as their breathing began to slow down. With a snort she began spun and began to pace. Her brain raced through the events of the day that led up to this.

Cora woke up with the sun, same as usual. She'd had a nice, warm cherry coffee with some toast for a light breakfast and watched the early birds at the feeders. As per usual she made sure to throw out extra goodies for the crows when they showed up. One left her a shiny bauble on the deck that she picked up when they took to the trees. Then she took to the forest and after a couple of hours came out with some mushrooms and a dirty old coin. The mushrooms were prepped to be dried and Cora set off to see Odd.
After her favorite townie told her the coin was nothing important, she browsed the shop until something new caught her eye. A mess of pelts in all kinds of colors. She ran her hand across the top one, being intrigued by how coarse it felt. As she continued to absentmindedly pet the top coat, Cora felt her eyes drawn to a honey color poking out a few furs down. She dug it out and admired the gradient for a moment before getting hit by inspiration! With an idea for a ren faire outfit in mind, the woman went back to the register and made her purchase.
Nothing else happened until she got home, went to her room..and immediately went to her mirror to see where the pelt was going to look draped at best. And the next thing Cora knew, she was staring at a wolf and freaking out.


And now here was, still freaking out. She had to work in two hours, but how was she going to work without opposable thumbs? Hoping Odd would know what was going on, and just happened to forget to warn her about the cursed furs, Cora opened the sliding door at the back of her house and ran back to the shop with only a few people seeing her well enough to scream in terror.
