Who: Scott McCall and YOU!
What: Aftermath of the werewolf attack.
When: Thursday, January 31
Where: Outside Nike cabin.
Why: It's time for Scott McCall to step into the light again.

[So it's safe to say that Scott McCall's been laying pretty low for a day or so. He's missed Roman training in the morning for the past two days, which he's pretty sure he'll be penalized for, but he figures lots of people were injured in the scuffle (which is a horrible word to use for what happened, now that he thinks about it, what the hell McCall) and -

and it's a little scary for him that the bite that he sustained is pretty much gone now.

No.

It's a lot scary. And he kind of has a feeling he knows what's happening to his body, but he doesn't like it one bit.

There are so few people that know about the whole bite thing, and Scott would really prefer to keep it that way, especially since - well, since he didn't ask for this. He never planned it to happen - he just wanted to keep the camp safe, wanted to keep all his new friends and his family, his legion, his home safe.

He's taking a few steps out of the cabin for the first time, trying to stay slow on his feet. It helps that he's a little disoriented by what he can see, what he can hear now. He's still got bulky bandages on under his shirt, just to keep appearances up. He got to a healer, yeah, but...healers don't fix everything right away, especially on someone who's just a legacy.

And now, apparently, a werewolf.]

What? I think so. I mean, I slept for like, two days. I missed Roman training, though.

Sleeping for two days doesn't usually end with someone getting right up and walking around, Scott. Kind of the opposite, actually.

No, that's the thing, though. I don't think...I think the whole...bite thing might have changed that about me. I mean, I had...Sadie, I had serious stamina before, but this is a whole 'nother story.

What do you mean?

I mean, like- it's like- Sadie, I'm full of energy. It's weird.

Scott, you're always full of energy.

[Just saying]

What else is different?

No, I mean, like - ugh. It's hard to explain.

[He sighs a little bit.]

I can hear really, really well. Like...stuff you wouldn't usually be able to hear. Your heart.

....My what.

[Totally flat]

Your heart. I'm serious. Like...

[He taps on his chest in a familiar two-beat rhythm.]

Are you sure it's not your heart you're hearing?

No, it's totally not. Mine's different.

What else can you hear?

[She's not sure she buys that]

{Scott turns his ear to the sky for a moment, trying to listen in on something.]

Mr. D's...he's talking to someone - to a woman, it sounds like, sounds like it's coming from the Big House. And he's being...really nice to her.

[Sadie frowns and goes to try and hear for herself. She comes back a few minutes later, pale]

Well, he was talking to someone. I don't know who, though. How'd you know?

Sadie, I think it was his wife. It's...gods, what's her name. Ariadne. I listened in.

I don't know if it was or not, they're not my gods, but he was definitely talking to someone when I got close enough to hear him--he was in the main room. How'd you know?

Because he's being nice to her. Mr. D - even as Bacchus, I hear he isn't really nice to anyone.

No, how'd you know he was talking to someone?

Because I heard her talking, too, and the conversations matched up...

No, Scott, how did you hear them? We're too far from the Big House!

I told you, my ears! My ears, I can hear - I can hear so many things, Sadie. It's freaky.

[Sadie sighs, rubbing her hand over her eyes because ugh this place]

D'you want earplugs? I've got some to block out the TV in Hecate.

No, I don't think those will help.

[he laughs a little bit.]

Not a Cash Cab fan?

[The look on her face says it all]

No. Carter's the nerd, not me.

Oh. I'm not great at it, but I mean, me and mom used to watch it during dinner sometimes.
