.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.

['Wolf-monster' might actually be overselling it a little for York. But nobody really needs to know that.]

Geez, just how many people is this happening to? Does this place not have anti-epidemic protocols or what?

A lot.

Anybody that got attacked by one of those messed up Pokemon that are all over the place.

...Anybody? You're sure about that.

Well....everybody who's changed somehow was also attacked by a weird Pokemon over the last few days, so...

[It seems pretty obvious to her that there's a connection.]

Huh. I should probably check on my team...Buuuut not right now.

[Carolina is going to laugh. He knows she is.]

Somebody mentioned that they were hybrids, the Pokémon. I don't know enough about 'em to judge, but I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Me neither. I haven't been here that long, but everybody keeps saying this isn't normal. Not the violent Pokemon that look like a little kid designed them, anyway, I guess swarms are normal...

Apparently October's the month for weird stuff to happen, too, which woulda been nice to know before I got bit by a bat-dog.

Right? Everybody kept telling me how nice it is here, it's like a vacation....

I like my vacations without furry mutations, thanks.

Well, arguably this is still better than being shot at.

[...]

I would argue. I'd argue a lot.

...Okay, point. But that's not a thing that normally happens around here....

Is it?

I've been told weapons are illegal, so I'm guessing not, yeah. So unless there's a gun-type Pokémon, we're probably good.
