medical bay | escape from alcatraz

[ If Scott had to choose a way in which he'd wake up on another planet, completely cut off from his home, his family, his pack, then being licked by an eager dog is most definitely his welcome of choice. He's always been fond of animals, and as frazzled as he is (largely convinced this is some strange nemeton-induced hallucination), the presence of a dog by his side, barking and pawing at him does wonders to calm his nerves.

At least until he notices the glowing eyes in the rest of the room, his heart promptly freezing in his chest. Because the thing is, that while Scott loves all animals, the feeling is most definitely not mutual.

It's only thanks to his werewolf senses that he manages to react in time, hearing the first warning growl and how many eyes is that even, before he's scrambling to his feet and getting the hell out of dodge.

He bolts through the door, barrelling into the hallway with no remorse. ]

Sorry! Sorry, sorry!!

kitchen | got a booty like a cadillac

Oh, sorry.

[ It's all gone so wrong.

There's probably a map on the device that URSULA had given him, and he's young enough to be able to figure out these newfangled gadgets, but he's still here, slumming around blindly like a plebian. Which means that he's made about five wrong turns into the kitchen while carrying all his stuff. It hadn't been so bad until the mattress had decided to inflate himself the moment he'd stepping into the fork and knife loaded space.

And now he's desperately trying to manoeuvre around the kitchen without his mattress destroying everything that stands in its path. (Another pair of mugs go clattering toward the ground.) ]

Oh—I'm really. [ He winces. ] Sorry, I didn't mean to trap you against the wall.

[ Or maybe he did; teenagers are kind of the worst. ]

[ please feel free to leave a blank comment and i'll write you a custom prompt! or vice versa, just hit me with anything and i'll roll with it. i'm always down to plot something out as well. c: ]

edit: i'm an idiot that didn't think of this sooner, but i realised that it might be handy to have a permissions post regarding scott's werewolf senses. if you have time, please consider filling it out!

[ Oh - for the love of... Roxy.

Valentine punched the panel beside the door with the side of her fist. It caused them to close, separating at least some of the little beasts from the horde. ]

[snuggies]

[ She's smart. Smarter than Scott at least (though she does have the advantage of actually knowing the location they're trapped in).

He's scrambling to his feed when the panels close, leaving only three cats on the same side as them, and one of them immediately launches itself at Scott, yowling angrily as its claws sink into the arms that he'd raised to defend himself.

After which he proceeds to flail furiously. ]

[inject]

[ Cats. Why'd it have to be cats? Valentine pushed the other little mutants back with her foot and reached over to pry the other one off of Scott. How strange. They were generally sweet-natured if underfoot. What had caused them to go off on this newcomer? ]

My, my. Not here a day and already needing a tetnus shot. It's not your day, is it?

[snuggies]

[ The animals don't seem at all pleased with the treatment, though they're considerably more compliant under the woman's hold than attempt Scott might've made. The teen stumbles back toward the wall once his attacker is removed, breaths coming in deep and eyes wide.

The tiny scratches that the cat had left heal over almost immediately, and he looks more startled than hurt.

Startled, then sheepish. ]

Cats... don't usually like me.

[inject]

[ She caught that. Her unusually shaped pupil widened very slightly at the sight. That was something she'd not seen for a while... interesting.

The cat dug its claws into her arm. She pinched the back of its neck. ]

You'll be pleased to know the base is swimming with them, in that case.

[snuggies]

Of course it is.

[ He doesn't want to complain too much, but it's just an annoyance that he can zero in his irritation on. Something other than the abduction and the foreign place and everything else. That's all too huge for him to deal with right now.

Instead, he gives the woman a smile. ]

Thanks, you really saved me there. I'm sorry for running into you. Do you live here?

[inject]

[ Valentine jostled the cat in her arms. It was trying to scratch her something fierce. What was making it so angry around this kid? How annoying... but also worth paying attention to. She opened the lab doors and tossed the cat inside, slamming the doors again before the rest could pour out. That just left the others that had made it out, but those she could push back with her feet. ]

Yes. For the time being, at any rate.

[ She gave him a cool look. ]

Newcomer, obviously.

[snuggies]

That’s me.

[ Does he have a new abductee smell or something? Speaking of smells—those cats definitely don’t smell normal, and Scott’s heard what happens when you get attacked by radioactive animals.

He looks at the woman with concern. ]

Did you get hurt? I’m Scott, by the way.

[inject]

Valentine. And I'll live. [ It wasn't the worst. Or even very bad, compared to some of the things she could get, here. It was unusual that Roxy's literal pile of cats were so aggressive. ]

So how did you anger the horde?

[snuggies]

[ Valentine is a cute name, and Scott wonders if she's named after the saint or the holiday.

Anyway. ]

I woke up? [ Is the most that he can offer. ] I guess I was in their nest?

[inject]

[ She raised her brows at him. ]

Funny. They're normally irritatingly sweet.
