The Perk, Sunday Afternoon

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell wouldn't be able to afford staying in Fandom for much longer. A few more days until the full moon in Bristol - tonight here, but time had shifted some on its own axis, and... well, he wasn't a scientist.

The fact of the matter was that he didn't have a great deal of time left to him in Fandom. He contemplated calling Chloe, but that felt awkward somehow; she was a student, and, well. Then there was Max, but Max was Max.

At the end of it all, the Perk had seemed the best choice. It tended to be a hub for people of all stripes. If he wanted to bump into someone he know, say his last goodbyes, it was most likely here.

So he ordered a coffee and sat down, staring out the window.

That appeased her some, though not all the way because there was nothing that could accomplish that particular feat.

She leaned back in her chair as well, crossing her arms. "So when's this complete act of traumatizing idiocy supposed to go down?"

"Wednesday evening," Mitchell said, rubbing his thumb at the bridge of his nose. "Full moon's a bit later back in Bristol than here. Thought I'd spare George a few feats of running about."

[vanillajello]

"I see." That was probably a lie, in a way. "So... George is like a werewolf or something?"

No one had actually bothered to explicitly tell her, so far, though the hints had been there.

[chosehumanity]

Oh, Christ. He hadn't told her before, had he?

He wasn't really in the secret-keeping mood; George would have to forgive him later. "Yeah," Mitchell said. "Exactly like that."

Kate's reaction was mild. A quiet snort, a little shake of her head. "Of course. Figures, it's a complete set."

[chosehumanity]

"I didn't realise our kind were a 'set', now." He attempted to muster up some amusement, and found it.

Kate shrugged a shoulder. "It's a pattern that seems to happen."

Silas, that Romanian lady, and the whole graveyard full of ghosts that raised Bod formed one too.
