[A short transmission today; Howl's walks around the marketplace have got him thinking about opening up a store of his own, like the ones he once ran back home. So here he appears now, fingers interlaced before him, chin resting on top of them contemplatively.]

I'm thinking of starting a business to sell my spells. But I'd need an assistant.

[So, would anyone like to help him out?]

Ahh, you're a werewolf then. [ No looks of horror from him, just a nod of understanding. ] I could observe from a roof, maybe. If I keep out of sight and out of the wind then I shouldn't be noticed.

[ His magic can help with the wind part and redirect his scent. If the wolf likes to run around though (and he suspects it probably does)... ]

[get_the_win]

Maybe. It moves around a lot but you might be able to bait it to come close enough. And it never goes inside, so if there's a hatch in the roof you can go through quickly, you should be safe even if it sees you.

[waterformybath]

Is there a hatch leading up to the roofs here?

[ He's never investigated the house, and he's certainly never tried going up to the roof. ]

Though even if there is, I'm not entirely sure what I would bait a werewolf with...

[ Please don't say human corpses. ]

[get_the_win]

I don't think so, but it shouldn't be too hard to make one.

[He's never tried to alter the outside of the houses but even if they had to put it in manually it shouldn't be too hard. Right?]

Use livestock. It's what the wolf hunts when it... can't find what it wants. Just uh... don't use sheep. [Because remembering killing an animal and eating it raw is bad enough without having to pick the wool out of his teeth the next morning.]

[waterformybath]

No, that's all right. I can just use a ladder.

[ As Domon describes what to use as bait, he nods and makes a small note on a piece of paper. ]

Must it be livestock? Or can I purchase meat from the marketplace and use that?

[get_the_win]

But if it chases you onto the roof and you can't get inside, I could end up hurting you.

Might work, might not. That thing won't turn down free food, but it loves the hunt.

[He sighed.] Maybe I can find away to restrain myself before the change happens, and you can test it that way.

[waterformybath]

Well, I'll see what I can do about obtaining livestock... As for the roof, I can bring a temporary bedroll there if that's all right with you. I don't mind sleeping rough for one night, and the nights aren't very cold at the moment. As long as the wolf can't climb up and get me, I can sleep up there once I'm done with my experiments.

[get_the_win]

That's the problem. It can. If you couldn't get inside quick... Look, I have an idea on how I might be able to keep myself contained. If it works, I'll let you know. If it doesn't, I think this would be too risky.

[waterformybath]

[ He nods in understanding. ]

All right then. I'll contact you as well if I think of something. I may have even regained more of my magic by the time we next speak.

[get_the_win]

Alright. Sorry for wasting your time.
