More than Just Human [Invite only]

Rose didn't like it, she didn't like how she was in the dark and that this thing whatever it was held all the cards she needed to get to even get this case wrapped up in any semblance. She wasn't sure how on earth this damn thing was even able to move around in the city. She would of heard about some wolf man traipsing around killing people on cameras right? The pink haired detective sighed and shook her head; leaning back against a wall outside of her pad. It was near midnight now and the streets were pretty empty past the occasional couple walking by.

She lived in a good part of town honestly in comparison to where she had been working at a little bit ago. Even if it was a better part of the town didn't mean it was anything like the more tame locations. There was still crime and there were still problems that she saw day to day.

But they all paled in comparison to the clawed hand that had wrapped around her neck back in the alley. A hushed growling and grating voice greeted her causing the detective to flinch a bit; turning her head to look at the wolfish man as he spoke wasn't much of a mistake considering.

"You told no one right?"

"Who am I gonna tell? Frank? This is way out of his depth."

The woman snorted and shook her head a little bit leaning back and putting a ciggerette in her mouth. It took two maybe three flicks of her old lighter to make her grumble in irritation. Much to her surprise however the weregarurumon's thumb produced a flame and he lit the end of the ciggerete. Not before helping himself to one of her's however; doing the same before leaning against the wall.

"Good stuff you humans have."

"They're not terribly expensive."

"Eatin's better than smokin'."

"Fair point. So you said you'd come here and talk."

"Nothin's changed. You need information I have, and I want the people that are causing trouble on this side removed. Their entire 'corperation' as it's called needs to get brought down. But they don't operate on this side as much as they do the other."

"Other side?"

"Right right, Digital world stuff. You don't know bout it cause you're not one of them yet; or won't be. Don't frankly care."

The weregarurumon inhaled a good chunk of the cig he took from Rose before eyeballing her.

"So Rose. What do you think we should do from here eh? Your jurisdiction on the human half is gonna help bring down this freakshow of a group. Cause doing what they're doing in the digital isn't legal. Ain't legal in the least."

"Well for starters you're right there, my Jurisdiction ends here. If there's a whole other world I can't cover that."

"Tch. That's unfortunate. Then you gotta catch them here."

"Which corp is it?"

"Same one as that fuckin guy I nixed."

"I don't think I can put away something that big."

"Not as you are maybe, but do some diggin. Find some friends, get some people that are willin to work for favors or money or whatever."

Another puff and the weregarurumon was out of his cigarette. Though without asking he took the entire pack from the human even going so far as to give her a small push on the shoulder.

"Sides. I think I know what we can do in the meantime."

"What's that?"

"Get you a device maybe, black market has a few probably. This side or our side. Ussually they don't work for other humans but that's not what we need em for."

"And what do we need them for?"

"A catalyst probably, I don't think it'd react too well if I attacked yah in reality. That and you still wouldn't stand a chance with that big ol gap."

"Lower power scale I get it."

"Tch. Fine Fine. no need to be so mopey."

"So what are you going to do in the meantime."

"Me? Oh. I'm going to stay at your place, better here than anywhere else."

"seriously?"

"You got a problem with that?"

"well you did commit murder."

"Oh no, I killed a serial killer and now I'm a murderer. What ever shall I do... Look. I'm not bout to kill an officer in cold blood like that freak."

The weregarurumon flicked the butt of the cigarette into the trash nearby with a small sigh. He'd pocket the pack that he took from Rose before staring up at the sky.

"Look I used to be a lot more cheerful, a lot less grim n shit. But these freaks took everything from me, my family and some more. Hell half of us are dead, the other half won't be comin back and the few that are left in the middle somewhere are just tickin time bombs. I'm the only one out of the entire bunch that isn't absolutely bonkers or on their second cycle."

"Okay Okay... Well then for now what do I call you?"

"Aries."

"Like the zodiac?"

"Yeah there's like... thirteen of us or something I think. Or was. I'm not really sure doesn't really matter."

"All right then Aries, you can stay at my place then. We'll try to get shit sorted out but.. Don't.. do what you did in the alley again."

"If you double cross me I'll make sure that it's much worse than that."

Rose shook her head and turned to put her key into the door, though she was faster than you'd expect still didn't stop the Weregarurumon to grab her neck again with one hand and pin her against the door with the other.

"That's a 'yes Aries I understand'. I ain't playing with this shit. Hundreds, thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fuckin people could die because of this and you need to be on board or I'm going to have to find another human after I gut your partner. Clear?"

"F-fuckin! Fine!"

The woman snarled and elbowed the weregarurumon in the chest, much to the irritation of the latter who just dropped her onto the ground.

"Tch. And I'll try to keep shit from gettin to you too. Don't expect me to do much more than that."

"Right right whatever. Fuckin. Stop doing that."

"be more punctual next time then and I won't have to."

Rose let out a soft snarl before opening the door to let the weregarurumon in. After a few moments he'd let out a soft whistle and go to take a seat on the couch. Rose quickly dropped the blinds in the room and started going room to room to do the same. She couldn't let others see this guy; else they'd have some serious problems.

It was maybe fifteen minutes before the officer took a seat in the kitchen, hearing the wolfman going through the channels. She'd pull out the stuff in her pockets going over her phone her l... Li...

The woman blinked a few times as the object she was starting at wasn't her lighter at all. Instead it was this black device, with blue buttons and some kind of pad. Marvelously designed and embroidered with something akin to her lighter. Rubbing her neck she'd look it over; quirking a brow wondering when she got it. A sharp inhale brought her attention to the wolf man who had gotten up after finding that there was nothing to really watch.

"...So you got one 'tween the time we talked in the alley and now eh? Did it happen before our last chat out front?"

"No I think it must of happened during the..."

She'd rub her neck a bit and wince. Though Aries came over and with a surprisingly gentle touch she could feel her neck heal from the bruising he was responsible for. With a soft growl he'd take the device, looking it over. A frown creasing on his lips.

"Spirit user it looks like, got a totem in there and everything. Hurts to fuckin touch too."

He'd wince a bit and hand it back to Rose who was rubbing her neck a bit. She'd stare up at the wolfman who just shrugged.

"Give it a swipe."

"Give... this?"

"Don't think about it just do it."

Rose shrugged and without putting too much thought into it ran her hand over the scanner portion of the digivice. There was a split second and she was covered head to toe in digital light. Her form shifted, twisted, shrank and seemed to tighten...
