text, backdated to last monday (nsfw discussion of heat imminent)

[aroooo]

hey um
what do I do if I think I'm going into heat???
because I'm definitely going into heat, I think.

[wolfybits]

My best suggestion would be to lock yourself away somewhere.
Either with someone you're comfortable riding it out with, or alone.

[ Although she knows Carmela and Jaden are together now, Andy doesn't suggest him by name. Not that she doesn't think they've slept together already or will eventually, she just knows that heat is different. Especially since this is Carmela's first. Andy can imagine how nervous she'd be, having her new boyfriend there with her. ]

Your dorm should be fine, just let everyone know.
Or you're welcome to use my place.
Either way, I'll be coming by to check on you throughout to make sure you're okay/bring you anything you might need.

[aroooo]

I think we're gonna stay in Jaden's room.
his roommates already know about this stuff.
I talked to Wyatt, he warned me
about ... everything.

[wolfybits]

Not that I doubt in Wyatt's ability to prepare you, but
if you have any questions for me, I would be happy to answer them.
You know that I'm always here for you, Carmela, no matter what you need.

[aroooo]

I know I just need to keep using protection
and try not to do anything regular me wouldn't do.

thank you, Andy.
really.

[ This is a mass text. Let's call it packfilter? Whatever, at any rate it's going round the whole pack. ]

yo everyone! party tonight in the fire dorm, after curfew (andy please be cool about this i <3 u)
it's talia's birthday and she wasn't gonna tell anyone, but i talked her round bc i am a world class negotiator and you're all welcome

anyways we've had a few birthdays lately. we should celebrate properly, and by properly i mean with CAKE and beer andy pls still be cool it's a special occasion ok

so fire dorm
tonight
after curfew and into the night boys and girls!!!

[wolfybits]

[ It's tempting to yell at him just for the fun of it, but she refrains. ]

All I ask is that you try to make sure it doesn't get completely out of control.
Otherwise, have fun.
And if you get in trouble, I had no idea it was happening.

[bratpack]

you’re the best andy. i’ll keep it clean!

[ …you know. Ish. ]

you sure you don’t wanna join? promise i won’t tell on you.

[wolfybits]

You really want a mother figure crashing the party?
Aren't you worried that would bring down the mood?

[ It's mostly a joke, though she imagines there's some truth to it. Andy's no strangers to partying, but she also knows that having an adult in an otherwise teenage party can damper things. Even if it's an adult that's part of the pack. ]

[bratpack]

where i'm from the whole pack did birthdays together
it ain't just for teenagers.

[ That's a yes, he wants her there. He thinks Talia would too. ]

[roguewolf]

[Connor had always loved to run. It always made him feel free and was the one thing he could take pride in back home with his pack. The other wolves might have been stronger but he was faster. He could literally run away from his problems. The area they lived in was one he'd become very familiar with over the years since he hadn't lived anywhere else and they didn't stray too far from home, so Connor was inwardly thrilled to be able to explore a new place when he came to Mythian. As he ran, he let his mind go blank as he tried to forget about Alex, forget about not measuring up to his parents' expectations of him, forget about how there was only disappointment in their eyes whenever they looked at him.

For the first time in a long time, he truly felt free. He wouldn't have to go deal with those problems at the end of the day, and yeah, he'd probably have to deal with them eventually but not for a good long while. At first, he ran in human form but once he got closer to the woods, he found a tree to change behind, putting his clothes in a bag that he could find later, then raced around in his gray wolf form instead. He didn't hold anything back and let himself run as fast as he could for a good while, then stopped and turned to head back to where his clothes where, sniffing around curiously at all the different scents he found as he went, even pausing to let out a howl to let any other wolves nearby know he was there.]

[wolfybits]

[ The howl wasn't really necessary, at least not for Andy. She typically ran this path every morning before sunrise (or around sunrise in the months that the sun came up earlier) and was just looping back toward the academy when she caught the lingering scent of an only partly familiar werewolf. It wasn't pack, that much was obvious, but it had an underlying familiarity to it that at least suggested it was one of the wolves on campus.

She stops in the middle of the path - in her human form - and inhales deeply just as she hears the howl behind and to the left of her. Even though she feels confident the werewolf's not a threat, she still feels a rush of instinctual protectiveness rise up inside of her, making her shoulders tense. Blame it on the recent appearance of some crazed selkie or merely on the basic territorial instincts inside of her; whatever the reason, Andy steps toward the side of the road - still in view, if someone's paying close enough attention - and keeps an eye on the rough direction the howl came from. ]

[roguewolf]

[Connor found where he had left his clothes, still thankfully all there, and slipped back into the shorts and t-shirt. He left his shoes off, stuffing them into the bag so he could enjoy the feeling of walking around barefoot in the dirt for awhile. He started to follow the path back to the school, but he didn't get too far down it before he someone standing by the road a ways away. He stopped, tensing up a little and just watching them to see how they'd react to him first.]

[wolfybits]

[ Andy could hear the faint uptick in the boy's heartbeat, even with the distance between them, but it wasn't enough to worry her; it seemed to just be the surprise of coming across someone in an otherwise presumedly empty path. So she took a step forward, visibly relaxing although her stance stayed as such that she would easily be able to move quickly, if necessary. ]

You're new here, aren't you? [ His scent was familiar enough that she knew she'd smelled it in passing but new enough that she wasn't familiar with it, couldn't pinpoint who he was just from the trail. It was then that she actually relaxed fully, a soft smile coming to her face. ] Sorry; I didn't mean to startle you. This time of the morning, I've usually got this path to myself.

[roguewolf]

Sorry. I just like to run. [As he approached her, he reacted instinctively, keeping his eyes to ground and his posture non-threatening while hunching his shoulders down.] I'm new, yeah. Connor. I mean, my name is Connor.

quick starter before I drive home

[aroooo]

[ Immediately after leaving the cafeteria, Carmela runs all the way to Andy's office, her walls crumbling down as she goes so that by the time she gets there, she's a sobbing mess. Mascara running down her cheeks, hair falling loose from the pins she'd put in it. She's a disaster, and she hopes against all hope that Andy is there. ]

[wolfybits]

[ Andy's been on high alert since Sylwia's appearance - even higher since the attack only days ago - so she feels the panic from one of her wolves outside her office before she even looks up at the sound of footsteps. It takes a half second to figure out that it's Carmela and another two before she's at the door, the hinges and wood creaking in protest at the strength with which she tears it open.

Nostrils flared and hackles raised, she takes a quick physical assessment of Carmela. Seeing no wounds, she reaches out to grab the younger wolf by the shoulders and pulls her into a hug. ] Hey, [ she says quietly, though there's absolutely no denying the edge to her voice, the threat making itself clear: whoever did this to Carmela is going to regret it. Deeply. ] I've got you. You're okay.

[ She'll ask what happened when Carmela's a bit calmer, able to actually speak through the tears. ]

[aroooo]

[ Carmela burrows into Andy's arms and sobs, choking out a few beginnings of words but never a whole sentence. ] We-- I--! He-- [ Even just thinking about Jaden makes her cry harder, giving up on talking just to hold onto Andy for now. ]

[wolfybits]

Take a breath, [ Andy says, rubbing a hand over Carmela's back in slow, soothing strokes. She also starts to pull the younger girl with her, leading them both back into her office in an attempt to give them some privacy. The last thing Carmela probably wants on top of whatever's got her so upset is people walking by and seeing her break down like this; she's always so put together, so strong and sure of herself. Sobbing in front of fellow classmates certainly wouldn't be enjoyable in any way. ]

Whatever happened you're safe here, okay? Just try to catch your breath first; explaining can happen after. [ Admittedly, Andy's anxious to know what happened, something Carmela could probably sense - if she was paying enough attention - both in the tension in her muscles and the mirrored tension in the pack bond. ]

[aroooo]

[ Okay... being alone in Andy's office is better than losing it in the hallway for everyone to see and hear. Not that enough people didn't witness the fight in the cafeteria already. The thought of which causes Carmela's breath to hitch again. She can feel Andy's worry in the bond between them, and knows she needs to calm down to explain.

She pulls back slightly, still in Andy's hug but enough to wipe her eyes and breathe as deeply as she can manage. ]

We... fought. Me and Jaden. [ So distraught she doesn't care about proper grammar. Jaden and I. Still hyperventilating slightly, pauses between her words. ] In the cafeteria, in front of... everybody. I think... I don't know, I think we're... broken up?

[ At which point she loses what little composure she had regained and breaks down sobbing again. ]

[ This drawing is left on Andy's desk one day, along with two post it notes: One with the same heart-eyed emoji drawn on it and another with Orion's digits scrawled which say "call me sometime? -- Orion". ]

[wolfybits]

[ Things Andy will never admit freely: how charmed she is by the drawing when she finds it. Unfortunately for Orion, however, she doesn't call him; the drawing and the post it notes get put away in her desk, seemingly forgotten for now. But when she's heading back to the earth staff house one morning after a run and catches sight of him heading her direction, she lifts a hand in greeting, waiting until he gets closer to say, ] Good morning, Orion. I got your drawing.

[ It's hard to tell if she's happy or upset about it, though. ]

[omegian]

[ Orion was slightly disappointed that she never called him, or even texted him, but he wasn't really surprised. She was probably a no-nonsense type, and he could respect that. Though that opinion was turned on it's head when she actually greeted him and mentioned the drawing his face broke into a wide crooked smile. ]

Yeah!? [ Maybe she didn't approve, but hey, she said 'good morning' to him and that was pretty much all an eager omega needed from a gorgeous alpha. His metaphorical tail was wagging rapidly as he gazed down at her. He was almost a full foot taller, but she still felt so much bigger- more impressive. And this was coming from a guy who didn't want to be intimidated by alphas. That attitude was apparently only for male alphas. ]

Did you like it? I worked on your hair the most, but I'm no artist.

[wolfybits]

[ His eagerness was difficult to ignore; although there was no pack bond between the two of them, Andy could practically smell it in the air and it made her nose tickle. ]

It was charming. [ Though it could be taken as such, she certainly hadn't meant that in a condescending sort of way. It really was cute, him drawing it and leaving it on her desk, but there was one big flaw in his decision: ] There's a reason I don't have one of those, though, and it's because I don't want students getting the wrong idea when it comes to possible relationships with me.

[ In other words, she didn't sleep with her students.

As a matter of fact, she wasn't the sort to sleep around with anyone, even people her own age. Not that she was a prude, she just preferred to have a connection with the person. ]

Do you understand what I mean?

[omegian]

Charming? I'll take that.

[ and happily! There was nothing quite as sweet as the scent of an omega who'd just received praise from an alpha. His heart pounded, but he still looked sheepish when she lectured him mildly. ]

Yeah, I get it. I didn't think I'd have a chance with you anyway, but I had to try, right? I'm the kinda guy who'd rather fall on his face in failure then say I never gave it a shot.

But maybe you'd like to have lunch with me sometime? And I'll promise not to flirt with you!
