.002 Δ [Voice]

Okay. Okay.

[York's voice is the soft but urgent hiss of someone who's freaking out but doesn't want to alarm the people around him. The sound quality, for those sensitive to that sort of thing, indicates that he may have, you know. Locked himself in the bathroom. As one does.]

Can I lodge a complaint? I dunno who to, exactly, but I'da hoped this would be the kind of thing that got covered in the rookie's field manual as early as possible.

[He pauses.]

Turning into a werewolf, I mean.

[The pause is practically italicized. Whatever's happening to York, he is strenuously unhappy about it, and the tension rides his voice hard.]

Like, the fact that that's apparently a real possibility in this universe.

[At the very least, the message gets York to laugh, even if it's only into his hands.]

Oh, man. Ten-four, dude, and don't worry, no grandmas for me. But believe me, a fever was the first thing I checked for, and no dice. --I mean, I don't have one.

I have a tail.

[If only this were some kind of fevered delusion.]

Did he turn into a werewolf?

[ratherbelocky]

[Oh my god. Okay. York is in the middle of a furry crisis here, and also it sounds like Agent Cooper has some kind of serious medical problem, but holy fuck does he ever want to hear about Zack's pretty girlfriend. This sounds amazing.]

Hey, I didn't know you had a girlfriend! Congratulations, man, I bet she's a real catch. Obviously she's got great taste, going steady with a bright kid like you.

[WHAT IS THIS LIFE]

What kinda song did you write her? Wait--you said she sings? Tell me you two have a band together. Please tell me that's a thing.
