Volks

* Human
* Animal
* Hybrid

**Volks** is the second guy to appear in the game. He is unlocked by reaching level 1 in the Survival (Guts) hobby. Story-wise, after being transformed into a wolf, he saves you from a bear while you are practicing survival out in the woods.

## **Personality**

Volks appears to be fairly broody and angsty when you first meet him, but he gradually becomes more affectionate in subtle ways.

## **Dialogue List**

### **First Meeting**

1. One day, while out in the forest practicing your Survival Training, you’re attacked out of nowhere by a sharply dressed bear!
2. Before she can land a super sick burn, a wolf suddenly intervenes!
3. After a ferocious battle, the wolf drives the bear away and looks at you with intense brooding eyes. As he licks his wounds, he scoffs…
4. **“Oh, it’s you. Well, don’t get too excited. That bear and I just had some… Unfinished business.”**
5. **“Why are you looking at me like that? With that weird gleam in your eye? Don’t tell me you’re going to KEEP bothering me? FML.”**

### **Adversary**

* So I’m a wolf. All my boyhood dreams have come true. Too bad I was such a dumbass little kid.

#### Talk

* I wouldn’t get any closer if I were you. I’m not saying I’ll bite you. But I’m not NOT saying it either.
* Great. Now I get to wear a fur coat everywhere I go. In the summer. Lucky me.
* This quest to change me back better not involve the power of friendship, or the power being in me all along, or any of that crap.
* Yeah. I keep looking at the elderly yoga classes in the park. We really gotta fix this before I go all Animal Planet on those guys.
* Name’s Volks. And just in case you feel like getting cute and adding “wagon” to that at some point, I would like to remind you my jaws can crush a moose’s femur in six or seven bites.

#### Date

* [Dinner] That was terrible. The salad wasn’t even the worst part. It was the waiter that kept asking me why I wasn’t, “Hungry like the Wolf”. I’m glad I bit him.
* [BoatRide] Here’s a tip: swan boats aren’t made for wolves. Real shocker, I know. Also – wet wolves smell a lot like wet dogs. So now we’ve got that to enjoy.
* [Coaster] That roller coaster almost killed me. Let’s do it again.
* [Carnival] No, I won’t give the bone back. That skeleton had it coming, and I’ve already buried it. It just isn’t happening.

#### Upgrade to Acquaintance

1. I didn’t ask for your help. But if you want to waste your time bothering me, I guess I can’t stop you. Does that mean I’m stuck with you for now?
2. Well, at least being turned into a wolf isn’t the worst part of all this anymore.

### **Acquaintance**

* If you see that bear again, just ask her what she did with all the puppies her last lover bought her. The awkwardness will drive her off.

#### Talk

* There’s a lot more screaming and people running away in my day to day life now. It’s already old. Way less fun than I imagined.
* I’ve been petting my fur backwards, on purpose. It reminds me there are no good boys in this world. There are only dogs leading the blind. Bad Volks. No treat for you.
* ALL THE BETTER TO EAT YOU WITH! Oh, whoops, sorry. I was just practicing. Never know when opportunity’s gonna knock.
* I think you’ll save time if you just ask who’s NOT afraid of the big bad wolf. Because so far, the alternative is a bloody long list.
* My sense of smell is a billion times stronger. In a world where showering is optional. Whee.

#### Date

* [Carnival] No, I won’t give the bone back. That skeleton had it coming, and I’ve already buried it. It just isn’t happening.

#### Upgrade to Frenemy

1. Last night, I crept to your window and contemplated mauling you. But knowing my luck, you’re probably loaded with gluten or something… So I spared you.
2. I recommend you figure out how to break that curse sooner, rather than later.
3. [With ‘Friend’ picture] Amongst the blossoms, Volks gives you a rare smile. **“Alright alright. Don’t get all touchy feely on me. You’re good people. Now get out of my bubble.”**

### **Frenemy**

* A dog catcher has been poking around. Asking questions. I may have acquired a mortal enemy.

#### Talk

* There’s a lot more screaming and people running away in my day to day life now. It’s already old. Way less fun than I imagined.

#### Gift

* I’m going to bury this. That’s actually a good thing, dummy. Read a wiki sometime.

* [Carnival] No, I won’t give the bone back. That skeleton had it coming, and I’ve already buried it. It just isn’t happening.

#### Upgrade to Friendzoned

1. Don’t get used to having me around. If you can’t break this curse, I’m probably gonna run away to the wilderness. Or wall street.
2. A wolf’s gotta do what a wolf’s gotta do.

### **Friendzoned**

* The Moon is SUPER interesting now. It’s so shiny. I want to bite it.

#### Talk

* I guess we can hang out. But only if it’s somewhere dark and quiet. Or if they have French fries.
* I have murdered like nine tennis balls today. Don’t give me that look. I can quit whenever I want.
* I buried a bone. Just to see how it felt. I guess I’m domestication-curious.
* Listen, I’ve got an itch on my ear. Shut up. Just help. Don’t make a big deal out of it.
* In the interest of full disclosure – the answer is yes. I can currently, umm… Lick. Myself. And the temptation is surprisingly difficult to ignore.
* Let me stop you right there. I see where this is going. You’re not allowed to ride on my back. I don’t care how metal it’d be.

#### Gift

* I’m going to bury this. That’s actually a good thing, dummy. Read a wiki sometime.

#### Upgrade to Awkward Besties

1. So, you’re saying we should try kissing? Fine. But this better not have been some ruse or weird fetish. I’m not above biting faces.
2. Well, here goes nothing…
3. [With ‘Kiss’ picture] **“So we’ve gotta kiss me for this to work? Lame. Alright, here goes nothing…”** Suddenly there’s a shower of sparkles and bubbles, which reveal a broody (and still somewhat fuzzy) guy.

### **Awkward Besties**

* Well look at that. I’m back to normal… ish. At least my junk isn’t fuzzy anymore. Yes, I can tell that right away. This is honestly a lot further than I expected you to get, no offense.

#### Talk

* Sunsets are the worst. Lazy old sun. Moonlight or bust for me.
* You ever wake up with a hair in your mouth? Try waking up with a tail in your mouth.
* I’m getting called a furry a lot. I’m also still biting a lot of people. These things are connected.
* Great. I’m partially transformed back. Now everyone can be completely sure that I’m some kind of freak.
* I thought for a moment you were wearing a hot new body spray. Then I realized that what’s just what you smell like. And it’s delicious. We should keep working on this curse…
* I can hear your heart beating from over here, with these ears. Also, what you had for lunch. The world is constantly gross and sentimental as hell.
* Hold still for a sec. I’m trying to think of something mean to say about you. It’s becoming noticeably harder, and I’m starting to get worried.
* What ‘cha doing today? I mean… I’m probably doing stuff. May as well do it together.

#### Gift

* Pretty thoughtful. Thoughtful people make me suspicious.

#### Date

* [Dinner] I don’t do “dinner conversations”, and you can’t make me.
* [BoatRide] Whatever. I think I liked the ride better when I kept almost drowning.
* [Coaster] Next time, let’s tie up the ride operator and turn the speed up.
* [Carnival] Haunted house? More like “unwanted house”.

#### Upgrade to Crush

1. So I admit you’re not as unpleasant to hang around as I suspected. So if you were aiming at being at least “tolerable”, nice job.
2. On the other hand, if you were aiming higher than that, well… Nevermind.

### **Crush**

* Having hands again is pretty sweet, I guess. Don’t take your thumbs for granted.

#### Gift

* Umm, this is pretty nice. Why are you giving this to me? What are you up to?

#### Date

* [Dinner] I don’t do “dinner conversations”, and you can’t make me.
* [BoatRide] Whatever. I think I liked the ride better when I kept almost drowning.
* [Coaster] Next time, let’s tie up the ride operator and turn the speed up.
* [Carnival] Haunted house? More like “unwanted house”.

#### Upgrade to Sweetheart

1. I don’t have many… People. I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to be one. I mean, if you don’t make a big deal out of it.
2. Okay. Just don’t go running off to update your facebooks or whatever. It’s… annoying.

### **Sweetheart**

* I still have this mild sense that I should be running down small sick children, or the elderly…

#### Upgrade to Boyfriend

1. Do you… I dunno… Do you want to be a… thing? With me, I guess?
2. Ok fine. Whatever. It’s not like I’m gonna say no, at this point.

### **Boyfriend**

* I slashed the dog catcher’s tires today. I’m not gonna lie – it felt pretty damn great.

#### Talk

* I was thinking about sitting across from you in a busy cafe and staring at you for an hour. You busy?
* You’re not AS annoying as before. Still kinda annoying. But manageable.
* Do you want to do… I dunno. Normal stuff? Hang out? Bite things? Work with me here.
* You’re nice to look at. Good job on your… face.
* I left a steak for you in your mailbox. I apologize, because I know how weird that is. Don’t make it worse than it already is.

#### Date

* [Dinner] I don’t do “dinner conversations”, and you can’t make me.
* [BoatRide] Whatever. I think I liked the ride better when I kept almost drowning.
* [Coaster] Next time, let’s tie up the ride operator and turn the speed up.
* [Carnival] Haunted house? More like “unwanted house”.

#### Poke

* The next time you touch me, I’m going to touch you back…

#### Upgrade to Lover

1. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. You’re ruining me. Just… say you’ll be here tomorrow. We’ll call it even.
2. I’m gonna kiss you now.
3. [With 'Transformation' picture] As you and Volks are having a staring contest, he unexpectedly reaches over and kisses you, trying to win. But his lips linger much longer than expected, until there's a sudden magical explosion! The curse is broken!
4. [With ‘Lover’ picture] **“Hey. I took this picture for you. I lost my shirt, and didn’t feel like finding another I guess. You’re welcome. Hit me up for more dates. Or not. Whatever.”** *Love – Volks*

2. Rising to his feet, he stares at you with wolfish eyes. He turns you around and pulls you against him, his erection pressing between your buttocks, and he bites your neck. You fall to the couch, sucking and playing, until he cums at last with urgent, wild groans.
3. Later, he smiles at you with a dangerous coyness. **"Well, that's one way to show me you care. I hope you don't mind if I return the favor..."** He grows hard again before your eyes, and the night is young...

### **Lover**

* Hey. Things are less awful when you’re around. So stop leaving. I’m warning you.

#### Talk

* I was thinking about sitting across from you in a busy cafe and staring at you for an hour. You busy?
* You’re not AS annoying as before. Still kinda annoying. But manageable.
* Do you want to do… I dunno. Normal stuff? Hang out? Bite things? Work with me here.
* You’re nice to look at. Good job on your… face.
* I left a steak for you in your mailbox. I apologize, because I know how weird that is. Don’t make it worse than it already is.

#### Date

* [Masquerade] You’re in trouble. Because I have your scent. And the big bad wolf is coming to get you.
* [Dinner] I don’t do “dinner conversations”, and you can’t make me.
* [Boat Ride] Whatever. I think I liked the ride better when I kept almost drowning.
* [Coaster] Next time, let’s tie up the ride operator and turn the speed up.
* [Carnival] Haunted house? More like “unwanted house”.

#### Poke

* The next time you touch me, I’m going to touch you back…

#### Upgrade to Max Lover

1. Show off. Every time I think I’ve got you figured out, and you pull this kinda stuff.
2. Whatever. I’m not going to give you the satisfaction of telling you how hard I’ve fallen for you. You’re just gonna have to wonder.

### **Max Lover**

* Oh good it's you. The list of people I would rather have popping in is very short. Like, 0 short, I guess.
* I legit want to go look at stars with you. I thought that was just a stupid thing they put into movies for sappy saps.
* Oh hey. I was just thinking about you. Which is probably lame to say, since I don't really stop.
* Hey. I was thinking about hanging out in front of the "no loitering" sign. Wanna join?
* Sometimes I miss being a wolf. I'm not as good at digging now. Or carrying things in my mouth. What?! It was useful!
* **(Naked)** I found a sock, but found it impossible to resist chewing on it. I think the spell has a few lasting side effects...
* **(Naked)** Yup. Still me. Still naked.
* **(Naked)** Part of me wishes I still had the tail. I can think of a few uses for it now...

#### Talk

* I want you. I want you to want me.
* I’ve heard I should never say it out loud… But I do what I want. I’m in love with you.
* I'm not saying I need a hug. But if you were to trip and fall on me, I wouldn't complain about it today.
* I want to stare into your eyes until it's super awkward. I don't know why. It just makes me happy.
* I still try to scratch my chin with my foot from time to time. I've made peace with it though.
* Stop calling me a "good boi". I know what you're doing. I don't care if I like it anyway.
* Hey. Wanna go be aloof somewhere?
* Want to watch a depressing movie, and then lay around thinking about how miserable our lives are except for the fact that we love each other?
* Hey. Let's be together until the world inevitably crushes our happiness. May as well, right?
* The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.
* You smell nice. Good job... with that. I guess.
* Someone threw a frisbee today and I resisted catching it with my mouth. So there's that.
* Rainbows are bull crap. Where's the color black? Or grey? Or dark white?
* **(Naked)** If you thought I wouldn't notice that you are significantly less naked than I am, then you're dumb. Also - get naked.
* **(Naked)** Do you think I should get a tattoo or something? I feel weirdly... undecorated.
* **(Naked)** Everytime someone howls, I get the urge to join in. I'll show you. But first, I need to get you howling...
* **(Naked)** Umm... I just realized I don't spend a lot of time naked. What do I do with my hands without pockets?
* **(Naked)** Whatever. Not sure why you want me walking around with my junk out, but here we are.
* **(Naked)** Think I'll jump in the shower. Wanna come?
* **(Naked)** \*growl...\*
* **(Naked)** Are you just going to stand there and pretend I'm not naked? That's weird.
* **(Naked)** I hope you're not here for skinny dipping. Or any of the other "nude" activities that distract from the fact that we're naked.

#### Gift

* Not really sure what to say... Thanks.
* I hope you don't commit crimes to afford all the stuff you buy me.
* Thanks. But you don't need to buy me more stuff, you know.
* It fits. I like it.
* **[Boxers]** Paw prints on my junk, huh? Subtlety isn't your strong point.
* **[Birthday Suit]** Don't make promises you can't keep...
* **[Spooky Outfit]** Stop looking at me like that. I do NOT still have a wolf-like obsession with bones. I just think I look... Tasty in this costume. I mean tasteful! I said tasteful.
* **[Butler Outfit]** What do butlers do again? Serve champagne? Greet guests at the door? I'm pretty good at that! Well, whatever. The point is I'm here for you.
* **[Kigurumi Outfit]** Yeah, okay. I could curl up and take a nap in this. Though if you were to get up for a glass of water or something, I'd probably wake up and follow you.
* **[Masquerade Outfit]** There were times I thought I'd be stuck as a wolf forever. But your love broke the curse. Sounds like a fairytale, doesn't it? So what do you say we run away together at midnight, and reveal in our happily ever after.
* **[Summer Outfit]** It sure is nice out today. Would you wanna, maybe, go to the park and toss a frisbee around? I promise I won't try to catch it in my mouth this time... Heh.
* **[RPG Outfit]** Need me to transform into a wolf? 'Cause I can do that, you know. Unleash me on our enemies in combat and I'll ravage them with my teeth and claws! And then, maybe, I could also do it to you. In the bedroom. If you - \*ahem\* - wanted me to. Or whatever.

#### Date

* [Masquerade] You’re in trouble. Because I have your scent. And the big bad wolf is coming to get you.
* [Dinner] I don’t do “dinner conversations”, and you can’t make me.
* [BoatRide] Whatever. I think I liked the ride better when I kept almost drowning.
* [Coaster] Next time, let’s tie up the ride operator and turn the speed up.
* [Carnival] Haunted house? More like “unwanted house”.

#### Poke

* Seriously, I don't giggle.
* If you're attempting to massage me, you're failing miserably.
* I might giggle once for you. On your birthday. No sooner.
* **(Naked)** Your hands are cold.
* **(Naked)** Is that all? Or did you have something else in mind...?
* **(Naked)** I still don't giggle.
* **(Naked)** This is an abuse of privilege. I demand you get naked as well.

#### Upgrade to Lover +

1. Another day, another chance to make Volks blush like an idiot, right? I didn't even know I COULD blush until I met you.
2. Whatever. You're amazing. And hot. Just keep rubbing it in, why don't ya?

### **Dialogue About Cole**

* Hmm. I keep getting this weird feeling... Something's making the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I don't know if I should be cautious, or if I should start waxing my neck.
* Hmm. Something feels wrong. Like I'm being watched, and something bad is about to happen. Or maybe it's just Monday. Shrug.
* I think someone is out there trying to hurt me, but I'm not afraid. Fear is giving your enemies too much credit. Either they hurt you or they don't. But fear is a waste of my time
* If the darkness ever bites you, bite it back. Make it regret it ever tried to tear you down. You don't need to be strong. You just need to be ready.
* Someone sent me an anonymous message that it's "Wolf Season" and to watch my back. I replied, "Bring it". The ball's in their court.
* While I was walking home last night, I saw a pair of eyes gleaming in the dark, staring at me. So I stared back. For hours. Until it was morning, and they ran away. No one out does me at awkward-staring.

## **Trivia**

* He does not have a lot of friends, though it is unclear if this is intentional or not on his part.
* He is uncomfortable with the idea of someone being kind to him (giving him things, especially).
* The 'Coaster' and 'Masquerade' dates are the only dates we see him smiling in. Because of this and a few other subtle comments, he seems to be the thrill-seeking type.
* Despite acting extremely upset about his transformation, Volks still makes a few wolf-related jokes once in a while.
* Bearverly in Bear form can be seen in his meeting scene.
* V.0.20 increased his affection requirements very slightly from the Nuisance level onwards.
* Aside from Cole, he is acknowledged by Eli and Nimh. Eli refers to him as a "dreamy wolf boy", while Nimh refers to him as a "certain wolf boy".
* He is the first guy to receive a new type of date, being the Deluxe Date.
	+ However, outside of Blush Blush, he is the first character to receive it, with the second being Peanut from Crush Crush.
* From the Deluxe Date DLC, it is mentioned that he is the child of a single mother, who was an emergency room nurse. He considers her a "total badass".
