Daily Summary

This is the total volume of the Daily Summaries. For an individual day, please go to the dropdown menu and select said day.

### Day one: Friday

Kyle got drunk and left a mess and forgot to do chores, Jake left the mess and got ready for work.

Once Jake got to his work, he set out to help out Charles’ cattle. He comes across Charles’ chicken coop having been raided. A quick search revealed a black tuft of fur. **+1 werewolf fur sample! (Total sample count: 1)**

Jake finishes his shift and heads to Larry’s Burgers to get dinner and meets up with Kenny.

Someone announces that someone is going to eat the Megaburger and thus cues the introduction of Hanna who finishes the Megaburger.

Jake and Kenny leave after Hanna is successful and both Hanna and Jake start chatting in the parking lot bringing up past stories. **(Headpat write-in counter: 1)**

Before Hanna leaves, she offers to meet up with Jake in two days for some coffee. Additionally, he warns her that some large animal is out and about and is brave enough to attack a chicken coop and that he got a fur sample. **(Coffee date in 2 days)**

While Jake is driving home, the Feral is out killing a herd of deer, none are able to flee and are killed, and then kills two humans.

### Day two: Saturday

Mr. Thomas calls Jake asking him to show up at the scene where a herd of deer were ripped apart.

The sight of 20+ deer being ripped apart shakes everyone on site, Mr. Thomas, Jake, and Markus, and the bite marks are too abnormal to be identified.

Markus sends Jake out to look for clues, he stumbles upon a foot print and then the mangled corpses of two humans, Rachel Simmons and Micheal Rawley, the former shredded and the latter impaled on a tree branch. Jake immediately calls over Markus in a panic, who also begins to panic.

As soon as additional police forces and paramedics enter the scene, Jake tells his story and attempts to leave. While doing so, he is waylaid by a reporter, who is soon driven off by an officer.

Mr Thomas consoles Jake and gives him some time off. Jake returns home, showers, and attempts to both process what he saw and calm down.

Kenny sends a text to Jake and he pushes the conversation about what happened off for later.

Hanna sends a text to Jake and he speaks with her and verifies that he’s still up for getting coffee with her.

Jake falls asleep and has a nightmare about the discovery of the bodies.

### Day three: Sunday

Kyle wakes up Jake to let him know that there’s pancakes being made.

The topic of the murders is discussed and results in Markus pulling Kyle to the police station to try and get him to give the correct information so he isn’t suspected.

Jake prepares for his date with Hanna. The topics are their fellow schoolmates and where they’ve ended up followed by why Jake wanted to be a vet and where he is planning on going in the future.

Hanna suggests that their date be recontinued later at a party in the Dynamo.

Jake goes to check in at the clinic to kill some time and finds that Mr Thomas hasn’t come in to care for the animals. **(Possibility that Mr. Thomas is developing Alzheimers)**

Jake does the necessary duties at the clinic and a final sweep before splitting the fur sample into two and heading off to the Dynamo. **+1 werewolf fur sample? (Total sample count: 2)**

He arrives at the Dynamo and goes to Pastor Williams for advice on how to cope with seeing two mangled corpses.

Next, Jake links up with Kenny and his group and they ask for details about her and he complies, with Hanna standing right behind him, chiming in good-humouredly, and accompanied two of her friends, Mila and Dakota.

Cue introductions and Jake and Hanna splitting off for drinks and to dance.

It goes… acceptably.

They go outside, eat some sandwiches and chat until they are interrupted by a drunk Kenny stumbling into trash cans and then recontinue talking, at one point Jake asks if she has any pets and proceeds to state that he *thinks Hanna is a dog person, to which she responds with a noncommittal affirmation*.

An hour before midnight, the party ends and Hanna sets up another meet up in two days before kissing Jake and leaving. **(Misc date in 2 days)**

As Jake prepares to leave, he finds Kenny by his jeep and offers him a ride back to his house. On the way back, they chat, primarily about cryptids and other supernatural things.

*First engagement:*

Due to the darkness, Jake crashes into a black and gray werewolf, named the Feral by the chat, and attempts to outpace it in the jeep, however it keeps pace.

In an attempt to stun it, Jake slams on the brakes with the hope of having it run into the jeep.

It does not go as planned and the jeep slides out of control, totaling it and knocking Kenny out. **(Jeep destroyed)**

[Chapter two]

Jake bandages Kenny’s wounds and both of them get out of the wreck to climb a tree in an attempt to evade the Feral. In the tree, Jake called 911 and got a police squad sent to his and Kenny’s position. The Feral soon gets near the tree, fails to locate them, and begins howling and shredding itself with its claws, spilling a lot of its blood.

Three additional werewolves respond to the Feral’s howls and soon after the Feral suffers a seizure and runs off in confusion.

Kenny believes that the Feral left and proceeds to talk loudly about the discovery, promptly shutting up once another werewolf shows up, appearing to be significantly more intelligent than the Feral, having a brown fur coat and blue eyes, and being easily *identifiable as male*.

It leaves once more howls are made and both Jake and Kenny stay in the tree silent until police officers show up, then they climb down.

*End of engagement:*

Jake gives a report and warning to Markus before collecting samples of the Feral’s blood. **+1 werewolf blood sample(Total sample count: 3)** **Note: The state lab has a blood sample**

Markus drives Jake to the clinic to check the samples and Jake gives a more true report before the conversation falls into insults.

Jake enters the clinic and checks up on each of the animals before going to the lab machine, finding that it suffered an error, and double checking all of the equipment and running the machine again.

They return home and Jake prepares to go to bed, texting Hanna about his car troubles and cuddling an unloaded AR-15.

*Foreshadowing dream:* **Bookmark: ‘silver-white’**

Jake was being chased through the woods by a silver-white werewolf and was knocked prone by it pouncing. It proceeded to pin him down and ‘kissed’ the back of his neck while attempting to protect him from other creatures in the woods.

### Day four: Monday

Hanna hasn’t texted back and Jake gets ready for the day with coffee and a shower.

Jake goes to the clinic, surprising Mr. Thomas who gave him time off, they proceed to get to work.

Jake leaves once Kenny arrives in his van and really wants to talk about werewolves, he is calmed down once the idea that werewolves have been around for a long time is realized.

They arrive at Kenny’s house to privately talk about the discovery they’ve made and resolve to go searching for information about werewolves. **(Specifically stating that it won’t be a hunt)**

One of the more notable bits of information found is that *devotion to St. Hubert has also been cited as both cure for and protection from lycanthropes*.

Jake calls Hanna asking if he could come over to talk about something important, she agrees with the caveat that he picks up some fried cheeseballs for her. Kenny drives Jake to get cheeseballs, water, and ibuprofen and to the rez.

Near the rez, Jake calls Hanna to let her know he’s nearly there.

Kenny’s… colourful van attracts attention and insults from the locals of the rez.

Jake explains what happened to the jeep and Hanna becomes very interested in the story. *She is increasingly worried and flustered as the story continues, nearly panicking once she learns that the state labs got a hold of a blood sample of the Feral. She soon calms down but gets more concerned once Jake tells her that he has additional samples.*

As Jake and Kenny leave, Hanna tells Jake to not go into the woods because of his terrible luck. **(Note: Jake semi-lied to Hanna, might be a point of contention in the future) (Headpat write-in counter: 2)**

Jake and Kenny leave and drive to Jake’s house for dropoff and find that Kyle is getting brought in for questioning about a several month old video, however he escalated the issue due to being both high and drunk.

[Chapter three]

### Day six: Wednesday

*Jake’s date with Hanna has likely been delayed because of Kyle getting arrested and causing a hefty amount of stress for his family.*

The rest of Kyle’s family pools their money to get bail for him and Dakota is assigned as Kyle’s lawyer. The general consensus is that Kyle couldn’t have done the murders as he lacks the strength required to do them.

Jake is stopped by Dakota as he’s leaving with the advice to not talk to anyone about what happened and that the trial should be over as soon as possible to prevent the court from just using him as a scapegoat.

For $300, Kyle’s Pussy Wagon is returned to his family for use, thankfully cleaned.

At the clinic, the lab machine is still running, but the fur sample’s hair roots have reattached themselves with skin. **(There is a mention of a Hunter’s Log in an appendix)**

Jake receives a text from Kenny about how he found something interesting.

He goes to a hunting shop and buys potentially useful equipment. **+Maglight flashlight +Oder-away scent masker +Dog Training Whistle +Bear Mace**

Kenny found a book detailing that the natives were blamed for wolf attacks in the past and that there is a secret collection of books, then they start planning out their hunt using high tech cameras.

Once they are finished with their planning, Jake goes to leave and return home to sleep, but is interrupted by Hanna asking if he wants to go to the Dynamo with her to drink and he agrees and sets out to the Dynamo.

He sits with her and talks about how he’s holding up at her request. The topics following that are how she’s thinking about selling her trailer home, if the rez has been bombarded by reporters, and if she could help in finding a new vehicle for him. **(Date(?) set in 1 day)**

Hanna offers a ride on her motorcycle to Jake, he agrees.

After falling into near-sleep, Hanna suggests that Jake sleep at her place for the night, they sleep clothed and Hanna using Jake as a body pillow.

### Day seven: Thursday

Jake wakes up first and manages to successfully get out of Hanna’s grasp, but not before indulging in more cuddling.

He enters and begins to clean the kitchen in order to make breakfast. **(Jake has the ability to prepare good quality food)**

After getting ready for the day, both set out to the Dynamo to get Kyle’s truck and to then go to the local used car dealership after a brief chat with Dakota *who wants Hanna’s help at the cultural center*.

They arrive at the dealership and find a 2002 Cherokee Silverado that’s slightly damaged for $1,500 and then proceed to haggle down to $1,000. **+Reliable Truck**

Hanna prepares to leave and Jake kisses her, however she isn’t satisfied and provides a second, longer kiss.

Jake meets up with Kenny who wants to go hunt a Feral werewolf, on a full moon, with 3 silver bullets, and without a proper amount of sleep. Kenny is successfully convinced away from such a dumb course of action.

Jake then goes to the lab machine and tests the effects of wolfsbane, silver, and fire on a small portion of the fur sample. **(Results logged in the What we know section)**

The lab machine failed to detect the origins of the animal, but Jake used some of his blood in the next test to try and cross reference it with the werewolf DNA.

Jake sits down with Kenny to begin their stakeout chatting about past events.

They eventually sight the Feral and get a thorough look at it, that’s when Kenny comments that he met a *stray gray wolfdog who watched him set up some cameras* and Jake comments that it might’ve been a werewolf.

Soon after, they find Ms. Summers kissing Deputy Andy. **+Incriminating video**

Kenny soon notices that the cameras are being destroyed and destroyed so quickly that the ones who did it couldn’t be identified.

*Important details from Hanna’s perspective:*

Mila is going to parley with some vampires to get them to contaminate the state lab sample.

The werewolf transformation isn’t painful for full-blooded werewolves.

The transformed state swaps some higher level thinking processes for animal instincts and knowledge.

*The Feral is likely unaware of his lycanthropic nature and has terrible vision*.

[Chapter four]

### Day eight: Friday

After taking shifts sleeping, Kenny and Jake set out to collect the cameras and stumble upon a jackalope.

Kenny attempts to close distance with it to get a good picture and gets within range of its musical hypnosis and has to be tackled so he doesn’t run off.

They research where to get silver and where to get it cheaply and travel to speak with a ranger about wolves and their behavior. **(Note: Jake attempted to text Hanna, but she didn’t charge her phone so she couldn’t respond)**

At the same time, Hanna is parlaying with the werewolves in Little Scotland at the Dead Dog pub, they don’t know where the Feral came from but are willing to help. *There is also a rise in supernatural creatures appearing, including ones that were thought to be myths*.

Kenny and Jake find and purchase $300 of silver and grab a tranq gun from the clinic then move to meet with their ranger contact.

Information gathered:

Wolves can eat pretty much anything a dog can, onions and chocolate are still poisonous.

Wolves can run ~30 mph over short distances and can leap roughly 8-10 ft given a bit of distance to get up to speed.

*When some wolves reach old age they might show increased aggression, disorientation, and a lack of survival instincts*.

*Mother wolves scare off pups that are disfigured or having albinism*.

They thanked the ranger and left to dig a pit trap for the Feral and then made plans to make a mechanical bait filled with wolfsbane laced hamburger meat.

*Jake receives a text from his father that he and Markus got to the hotel*. **(Jake has the house all to himself until Thursday(Day fourteen))**

With the pit somewhat finished, they made their way to Larry’s Burgers for a meal, and a news report to further smear Kyle and his family plays on TV, much to Jake’s embarrassment.

Jake’s motherly neighbor, Susan, offers Jake a piece of tater tot casserole in a tupperware before chatting about how he is holding up with the case against Kyle and progressing on to Kenny picking wolfsbane without gloves. **(The casserole container will have to be returned eventually)**

Susan also provides information about what plants keep away what animals:

Mint keeps insects away.

Fritillaria keeps cats and dogs away, but doesn’t work against larger creatures.

Lavender keeps rodents away.

[Chapter five]

### Day nine: Saturday

Jake slowly woke up and got ready due to a lack of coffee and prepared to continue digging the pit.

It had snowed during the night and the weather forecasts predicted more snow to come.

Jake makes a list of things to buy once he gets back in town and thinks about his cooking ability and how he’d introduce Hanna to his family. **(Another reference of Jake’s cooking ability)**

He got to the pit and deepened it by another 10 feet and got a text from Kenny about how he has 2 magazines for the Desert Eagle and the bait ball is prepared for use.

As he packed up to head back, he came across the jackalope singing a merry tune and running around as if on a sugar rush.

Jake promptly covered his ears to block out the tune and pulled his keys out, causing them to jingle.

This turned out to be a bad thing as the jackalope pounced upon him, stole his keys, and began jingling them to make noise.

In an attempt to get the jackalope to drop the keys, Jake plays a lullaby and the jackalope hums with it, causing nearby birds to fall out of the sky and nests. Jake successfully regains his keys as the jackalope nearly falls asleep.

He leaves and links up with Kenny, then breaks off to go to the clinic to get any last minute information from the samples and ends up getting travel recommendations from Mr. Thomas for when he graduates.

When Jake goes to check on the lab machine, he finds it broken into and the samples missing, the camera and the laptop it was connected to rendered inoperable, and the CCTV camera shutdown.

He calls the police to report a break-in and Andy shows up to search the scene, the tranq gun is found to be missing and Jake confesses that he took it, he later apologizes to Mr. Thomas for not telling him he took it.

For luck, Jake goes to church to pray to ~~RNJesus~~ Saint Michael for protection in the upcoming hunt.

He meets up with Kenny and goes to the hunting site and sets up.

The Feral shows up approximately 2 hours after they set up and slowly lose morale.

*Beginning of the Hunt:*

The Feral appears and targets the mechanical bait and nearly falls into the pit.

Kenny and Jake fire a total of 7 volleys, 4 and 3 respectively. Only 3 of Kenny’s 4 shots hit and all of them to noncritical areas, every other shot, including Jake’s, miss.

The Feral finally manages to detect where they are located and pulls their perch down.

Kenny falls to the ground unconscious but alive and mostly unharmed and Jake is forced to the ground. **Tranq gun destroyed, NVGs and AR lost, and Kenny is down.**

A blizzard suddenly starts up, further obscuring vision.

Jake covers Kenny in wolfsbane and attempts to find the NVGs using the flashlight, then turns the flashlight off and shifts over to throw off the Feral.

After acquiring the NVGs, Jake holsters the Desert Eagle and pulls out the Bear Mace and the multitool before taunting the Feral to attack, and Jake ruptures the Mace directly into the Feral’s face before firing two silver rounds into it and the gun jamming. **NVGs recovered.**

The Feral pins Jake down with the intent to crush his head, only stopping because it was stabbed in the eye.

Jake begins stabbing the Feral with the multitool, however due to the blade not being made of silver, the wounds inflicted are healed away by its regen.

The Feral begins to strangle Jake and Jake falls unconscious.

*End of the Hunt:* **The remains of the tranq gun and the AR are recovered.**

*A white furred werewolf* intervened and broke the Feral away from killing Jake, allowing Kenny to clean and wake Jake up.

Deciding that the other werewolves wouldn’t like seeing random hunters, they return to Jake’s truck and find a large heavily wounded dog. **(Note: It says that it is black furred here, should probably be gray for continuity, tho it could just be lighting)**

Vet instincts kicking in, Jake gets his medical equipment and begins to stabilize the dog and load it into the back of the truck to transport it to the clinic.

They arrive at the clinic, *Rippa being noticeably unhappy about the presence of the dog*, and begin to do a more thorough job patching up the dog, putting it in a cage for the night, and changing their clothes

They both retire to their respective homes for the night.

### Day ten: Sunday

Jake wakes up, showers, tends to his wounds, and checks his phone to find no new messages or any news related to the hunt.

He calls Kenny that he is heading to the clinic to check on the dog, but not before being waylaid by John Johnson wanting to encourage people to vote for him.

Jake arrives at the clinic to hear Rippa barking and Mrs. Harris being cross because of it.

[Chapter six and a level up]

He reaches the dog’s cage only to be stunned by finding Mila in the cage instead, before a conversation can begin, a Deputy Andy shows up at the door with information about the break-in, two bald and unnaturally pale men, whose faces look like a meth addict’s, are thought to have broken in.

Jake lets Mila out and provides her a lab coat and she immediately attempts to convince him that she just got really drunk, however that falls to shreds as soon as Jake pulls out the CCTV footage.

Jake convinces Mila to get him into contact with someone who can tell him what is going on and how to help stop the Feral, she eventually orders him to start up his truck’s heater and drive her to where she left her clothes.

She dresses herself and offers him some pie at her house as she isn’t authorized to give him any information and soothes Jake’s fears of being killed by stating that those in charge will likely just tell him to forget what he saw.

They have a chat about the history of the rez before it gets more serious with them talking about the Masquerade and how failing to keep oneself hidden results in disappearing.

As a show of faith, Jake gives Mila the CCTV footage, which she quickly destroys.

Jake asks if jackalopes are common *and she reacts with confusion as she’s never heard of them before*.

Hanna barges in *holding the severed arm of the Feral* while her arm is also heavily wounded as well. **(Hanna has lost her phone in the Emerald River)**

Jake is immediately concerned for Hanna’s well being and begins to do some medical work on her arm. A conversation is struck up in an attempt to numb the pain with the primary topic being the supernatural community and what types of supernatural creatures are out there.

Hanna mentions how werewolves are able to *regrow limbs given enough time and that they use caloric energy to heal.*

Eventually, Jake offers his and Kenny’s assistance to Hanna and she accepts.

After examining the Feral's severed arm, Jake identifies that it is its left arm and that detached werewolf limbs can still twitch on their own. *Hanna mentions that Jake is taking the news about werewolves and other supernatural creatures being real too well.*

Kenny leaves soon after and wishes to speak with Jake privately, presumably about Hanna being a lycanthrope and/or the Rez Pack forcing him to get rid of his evidence on the supernatural.

Hanna informs Jake that the public way to refer to someone’s lycanthropy is with ‘my condition’ or some variant of that.

Hanna, Mila, and Jake talk about lycanthropy and the Masquerade, with Hanna showing clear dislike when Mila states that those who profit from doing work outside of the law benefit from the Masquerade.

Hanna and Jake soon leave in his truck to his home for the night and she apologies to him for keeping her lycanthropic nature secret from him.

On the drive, they speak about what Hanna is going to wear once she’s out of the shower and Kyle’s trial, with Hanna pausing to crack open a window and smoke a cigarette.

They enter Jake’s house and Hanna immediately heads off to take a shower, while she is in the shower, Jake does a load of laundry, gets clothes for Hanna (A flannel button-up, a pair of his tight workout shorts, a pair of sweatpants with a drawstring, a bathrobe, and a t-shirt), and cooks dinner (Rice, chicken, and sunny side-up eggs).

Hanna comes out wearing the flannel button-up, the t-shirt, and the sweatpants.

While eating, they talk about where Jake learned to cook, their parents, and Jake’s mom’s potential fate.

Finished eating, they sit and watch a movie with Jake eventually falling asleep on Hanna. **(Jake received a text from his dad about how he was going to sleep and Jake stepped around mentioning that he had company over)**

He wakes up due to a commercial and finds Hanna on the porch smoking while looking at the stars. **(Headpat write-in counter: 3)**

After a short silence, they speak about why there is such an uptick in supernatural sightings and how the Feral managed to survive the shifting if he is unhealthy.

Hanna brings up how it’s common for vampires to trade some of their narcotic-like blood with gang members in exchange for their own, *she then brings up the idea of Jake becoming a doctor for the supernatural*.

They travel back indoors and Hanna wishes to go to sleep on the couch, Jake insists that she take his old room, only to attempt to backpedal once he remembers all of the geek stuff he still has up. Sparking a conversation about old toys and memories.

Immediately followed by Jake offering to tuck Hanna in and causing her to become aggressively flirtatious, Jake escalates by kissing her and pulling her close. Followed closely by them rolling into bed and stripping each other.

[Chapter 6.5, Lewd]

A learning experience for Hanna as a teacher and for Jake in the art of sex.

Hanna gave Jake a handjob and he returned the favor by fingering her.

Eventually, they end the night cuddling with each other. **(Headpat write-in counter: 4)**

[Chapter 7]

In Jake’s sleep, he has a nightmare about a malevolent spirit convincing a starving mother to kill, and presumably eat, her husband. Due to the construction of the building’s roof, the dream seems to take place during the medieval ages or before.

### Day eleven: Monday

**(Note: Compress this down a bit at a later time)**

At some point during the night, it started to snow, *might be troublesome if there’s not a snowblower around, or at least some shovels*.

Jake awakes and finds that he forgot to charge his phone and that he’s been pinned by Hanna, but not to the extent where he cannot escape.

He eventually gets out of bed, tucks Hanna into bed, showers, and then begins the process of making breakfast. Once he is done cooking, Hanna gets out of the bedroom.

While eating, they speak about the snow and how it’s altering their plans and how Hanna’s meeting with Mila is likely being changed to another day.

While Jake is thinking over possibilities for how he and Hanna could spend the rest of their day, Markus knocks on the door and Jake lets him in.

Markus becomes visibly uncomfortable upon seeing Hanna, sparking an awkward introduction.

Once the introduction is complete and breakfast offered, Markus pulls Jake aside to tell him that Kyle has been found guilty of both drug possession and resisting arrest and was thus *sentenced to five years* in prison. **Note: Hanna has keen hearing and thus can hear everything that is being discussed.**

Jake attempts to be optimistic and says that Kyle might get out in two and a half years on good behavior, only to learn that a bunch more drugs, at least one of which being severely illegal, were found in Kyle’s locker.

Jake mentions how Kyle's locker should’ve been checked when the investigation started and attacks the couch out of rage.

Markus then starts saying how he might’ve made things worse by bringing Kyle in for questioning and begins questioning about the possibility that Kyle is actually the murderer.

That line of thought is forcefully slapped down by Jake who brings up the fact that he has evidence showing that Andy is being bribed by the press.

Markus starts to fall into a rage but is soon pulled out of it by Jake, the dialogue then turns to Sarah, Markus’ wife, and their upcoming child.

Markus asks for advice on names and Jake attempts to help the best he can with Hanna joining in part of the way through to try and help.

Markus leaves and Jake does a load of laundry and Hanna just hangs out on his couch.

Mr. Thomas’ granddaughter calls asking Jake if he could check up on Mr. Thomas to see if he’s doing alright as he should have all the supplies he needs to survive the snow. **(Note: Mr. Thomas is referred to as Dr. Thomas is this section)**

Hanna asks Jake if the person who called him was Mila, after he relays the contents of the call, he invites her along in the event that *something happens with/to the truck*.

They set off and Hanna is surprised by the friendly response Jake receives to waving at a road crew, sparking a conversation about the differences between rural and urban areas.

Once they arrive at Mr. Thomas’ house, they both admire the property all the way up to the door.

At the door, they notice that the lights are off, upon entering they find the house in disarray, but fortunately Hanna doesn’t catch the scent of anything dead but *smells something more upstairs*.

When their investigation reaches Mr. Thomas' bedroom, Hanna determines what the scents she was smelling were and *attempts to block Jake from entering*, however her attempt fails.

Upon entering, Jake is bombarded with the scents of bodily fluids, *rotted meat, and wet dog* and sees *claw marks and shredded furniture and wall paper* but cannot find the corpse of Mr. Thomas from where he is standing.

Jake nearly falls onto the floor in shock, only nearly as Hanna caught him.

Hanna soon points out that the window is open and large nonhuman footprints lead off into the distance.

Jake realizes that he has to tell Mr. Thomas’ granddaughter about this development and notices an old picture that reminds him of his first encounter with Mr. Thomas and how he assisted Jake with overcoming the disappearance of his mother and offered a brighter future than working at the mill.

Jake sits down after calling the police and just stays there in a haze.

Once the police arrive, Jake and Hanna are informally interrogated by a deputy with Mr. Thomas’ granddaughter, Kendra, helping them out.

A crowd gathers as a result of the police showing up, *Andy and Summers do not show up, contrary to their regular behavior*.

Jake overhears Markus and another officer talking about the oddity of the scene, with Jake and Kendra saying that his dementia might be the cause.

As Jake and Hanna leave, Kendra moves to them and thanks Jake for searching for Mr. Thomas as she would’ve taken it even worse than he did, and then she departs.

Hanna inquires as to how Jake is holding up and he fails to answer, then she goes to call Mila that she, Jake, and Kenny would like to come over.

Eventually it’s brought up how *unlikely it is that Mr. Thomas would’ve survived the transformation and how any cure would likely kill him*.

It is the passing of a snow that causes Jake to realize that *the snow has killed the wolfsbane meaning that Harwell will be unprotected*, Hanna looks guilty at the fact that it seems like Mr. Thomas can’t be saved.

Jake has a revelation, Mr. Thomas is a vegetarian and thus didn’t eat any of the corpses, thus his shifted form must be running out of energy.

They stop to pick up Kenny, who is, naturally, armed to the teeth, carrying several days of rations, and the rancid tribble lure, the added bulk, and smell, slightly annoy Hanna.

They arrive at Mila’s house to find her attempting to restart the power, Kenny promptly fixes the power.

The four then discuss the fact that Mr. Thomas survived the transformation, their hunting plan, whether or not Jake would be able to kill Mr. Thomas, and eventually they decide on Mila and Hanna wolfing and searching the woods and Jake and Kenny searching along the road.

Mila and Hanna would be able to talk to each other with growls and Jake and Kenny with high-grade walkie-talkies, the wolf group would hear from the human group via collar attached walkie-talkies and the human group would hear from the wolf group via howls or growls across the walkie-talkies if they can manage to operate them. Mila is teased by Hanna about having to wear a collar due to her form. **(Note: Honestly, Hanna should also use a collar mounted walkie-talkie as if she gets into combat, she’s likely going to drop anything handheld and Kenny wouldn’t like more of his stuff getting lost/destroyed)**

When the topic of silver bullets is brought up, Mila offers up a silver bowie knife with a sheath and reacts to it the same way one would if they saw someone carrying an automatic bazooka.

After a short dialogue about packs working together in order to root out Ferals for their own safety, Dakota walks in wearing formal clothes and is noticeably confused as to the reason why Kenny and Jake are in Mila’s house and shows concern towards Jake.

Mila soon ‘asks’ Hanna, Jake, and Kenny to go outside, once they do, they can start to hear an argument between Mila and Dakota.

Kenny points out that *Dakota is the pack leader for the Rez Pack* to Jake.

They discuss the trap they’re going to use (a rope-net trap), where to set up (an abandoned campsite named ‘Camp Notliable’), and what to use as bait (Mushroom topped pizza).

Kenny radios the Rez Pack to inform them that the trap is set and that he and Jake are going into hiding.

After at least two hours, Jake and Kenny start questioning how the supernatural was covered up so well and what they plan to do once this whole thing is done, which then sparks how Hanna is planning on leaving and Kenny promptly offers to provide love life advice.

Seconds later, Jake and Kenny receive the signal from the Rez Pack that Mr. Thomas is approaching and they set the trap accordingly before readying for combat.

[Chapter 7.5, Rez Pack’s perspective]

Hanna is aggravated due to Mila and Dakota arguing and taking up limited, valuable time.

The radio in from Jake comes in and communication protocols are set up with Mila and Hanna shifting back and forth.

After an hour, Hanna comes across a blood-covered leaf and some human footprints leading towards the town, before hearing a voice cry out for help at where the footprints ended.

Following her instincts, Hanna dodges an unnatural creature with far too many teeth, all of which far too long and not arranged in a ‘right’ way. **(Note: The creature is a wendigo)**

Hanna promptly disengages from the unnatural entity that projects an aura of fear, once she hears Mila fighting, she charges over to assist.

Hanna engages Mr. Thomas and deals a notable chunk of damage, but unfortunately takes some in return.

Mila and Hanna begin attacking in a manner that draw’s Mr. Thomas’ attention towards themselves and thus leaving him open to an attack by the other.

Once Dakota arrives, Mr. Thomas throws Mila at him, temporarily removing both from the fight, and Hanna gets hits and gets in a few hits as Mr. Thomas runs towards the camp.

[Chapter 8]

Mr. Thomas is quickly drawn towards the trap due to the glorious smell of pizza, and soon triggers it, desperately reaching for the magnificent mushroom pizza.

Nobly, Jake perfectly tosses a slice of pizza to the Wolf inside Mr. Thomas, who eats it immediately, and attempts to get to the Thomas that he knows and who has helped him so much.

Jake attempts to get through to Mr. Thomas, and slightly succeeds, nearly getting claws to the throat if it wasn’t for Hanna’s intervention.

Jake tries again, telling Mr. Thomas that if he got through the Holocaust, he can get through this, much to Mila’s utter shock. The result is a mixed success, Mr. Thomas fights off the Wolf to some degree, his body shifting and reforming throughout much to everyone’s horror.

Mr. Thomas successfully fights back the Wolf and shifts back to his human form, with many more injuries than before.

Kenny goes to grab a security blanket for Mr. Thomas and clothes for Hanna and Mila, Dakota elects to stay wolfed and onguard.

Jake, with the assistance of Hanna, resets Mr. Thomas’ dislocated arm and wraps him in the security blanket that Kenny brought over.

While evacing, Jake notices an *odd shape in the blizzard that looks like a man*.

Rationally, Jake mentions what he saw, causing Hanna to *fearfully* order an evac and Hanna and Dakota prepare to fight whatever it was that was seen, without having knowledge of their target and potentially lacking the weapons to fight it.

Jake attempts to bring up the idea that Hanna and Dakota could get into the back of the truck for rapid deployment if needed, which is shot down due to time constraints, and the possibility that they could outrun it, to which Hanna says that *it might be as bad, if not worse than, having the feral around*. She kisses him, shifts, and departs.

Kenny asks Jake if he wants to drive to the clinic, or if he wants to check up on Mr. Thomas.

Jake tells Kenny to drive so he can do stabilization work for Mr. Thomas.

Jake keeps his eyes on Hanna and Dakota as long as he can to try and make sure that they are fine, once he can no longer do that, he begins to focus on Mr. Thomas and his state.

[Perspective switch: Hanna and Dakota]

Hanna and Dakota watch Jake’s truck leave and decide to hold their ground and watch for the Unknown Horror.

Hanna has the sensation that they’re being toyed with and attempts to move to higher ground to get clearer sight lines.

On a rooftop, they both fail to see any sign of the Unknown Horror other than a lit lantern that no one lit, inside a cabin no one went into, and located in an abandoned camp, go out.

Seeing the lure for the trap, they leave and take the long way back to the Rez, Hanna noticeably outpacing Dakota.

[Perspective switch: Jake, Kenny, and Mila]

Due to speeding, Andy pulls over the truck, Jake attempts to conceal Mr. Thomas by putting a blanket over him.

Jake attempts to get Andy to back off and let them leave repeatedly, but fails each attempt before attempting to walk away.

Kenny looks over to the cop car and *visibly pales*, before proceeding to drive away at speed.

Andy immediately starts firing at the speeding truck before sending an incomplete message to Dispatch and sees what Kenny saw, the Unknown Horror and naturally freezes.

Jake shouts Andy into action, he gets in the cop car and bolts, narrowly avoiding a crash.

Jake demands the shotgun and begins to open fire on the Horror, successfully hitting it in both the legs and head.

The Horror retaliates and shreds the cop car, *ripping the roof off*, dealing some damage to Jake as a result.

The Horror catches sight of Jake’s truck, stops, redirects its attention to it, and chases it, releasing a psychic wave *showing its interest in capturing Mr. Thomas*.

Jake promptly orders the shaken Andy to chase the Horror, who complies due to not thinking clearly.

[Perspective switch: Hanna and Dakota]

Hanna and Dakota stop to rest for a moment, talking about the Horror and how oddly timed it is that it would appear the night they’d recapture Mr. Thomas, *there is a brief moment where they are startled by a deer*.

They are interrupted by a horde of bloodthirsty mostly-undead deer and other assorted animals, who call themselves Legion and are linked to someone called Red Hawk.

Soon, Hanna and Dakota engage Legion and kill them all except the leader, who tells them to listen and they are soon treated to the sound of gunfire.

Dakota decapitates the laughing leader, while Hanna bolts to assist Jake. **(Note: Hanna will likely get teased by Mila once she finds out)**

[Perspective switch: Andy and Jake]

**(Note: Here is the first critical failure)** Andy rams the Horror and spins out shortly after, the police car now has the Horror’s attention.

Jake attempts to shoot the Horror and misses, the beast rending the car in exchange resulting in both severe damage and an opening for a shot.

Jake fires a flare directly into the Horror’s eye socket, causing it to stagger and slow.

After the success of the previous, Jake fires another flare. This time, the Horror swallows it, shortly bursts into flames, and dies. Leaving a pile of ash and a beating, frozen heart.

Wanting to be rid of the heart to prevent it from potentially resurrecting, Jake asks for gasoline to burn it, only to be denied due to none being available.

The frozen heart is put into a bag using a stick.

Andy tries to call for a car to come pick him and Jake up from the wreck, but there is only a weak connection, it is at that moment the *Law of the Universe* decides to proc and both Hanna and Dakota show up.

Andy panics and fires upon them, only getting off one round before fainting out of stress and terror.

[Chapter 9]

[Timeskip of some amount of time]

Jake, Hanna, Dakota, and the unconscious Andy, linked back up with Kenny and Mila and traveled to the clinic where Jake stabilized Mr. Thomas.

They then discussed what to do about Andy, the outcome was that he be placed back at the wreck. Next, the future of Mr. Thomas was discussed and it was decided that he would stay at his house with Mila and Jake coming over to try and aid him in his fight.

With the encounter wrapping up, Hanna picks Andy up, gives Jake a hug, suggests a date where they trade their stories about the wendigo and the undead deer, and asks if he’d be available to help in moving furniture out of her uncle’s old storage unit.

During Jake’s drive back, *he ‘reawakens’ in the driveway of his house without any memory of the drive. Additionally, Richard has come home two days early*.

Jake falls onto his bed and falls asleep into a dreamless rest.

### Day twelve: Tuesday

Jake wakes up to the sound of the news playing from the living room TV, and gets dressed.

Jake moves to make\_a/add\_to the shopping list and joins his father for a breakfast of waffles, learning that the reason he is home so soon is because there is a large work order coming in and he wants to make sure he does his part.

They talk for a bit about a meet up involving Markus, his wife, Uncle Leo, and his girlfriend. Jake takes the opportunity to imply that he has a girlfriend to his dad who wishes to meet her.

Richard leaves to go to work while Jake cleans up and goes shopping.

Jake collects all of the ingredients he needs for *two pot roasts* and goes to check out when he stops to listen to two women talking about how the *gunfire they heard last night was just some hunters* and *how Kyle is the killer*.

Jake disregards them and goes to check out, meeting Rachel’s mother, Shelly, on the way who invites him to Rachel’s funeral that is next Sunday. **(Note: Should be Day seventeen)**

Jake agrees to come and pays for his goods before traveling to the clinic to check on Mr. Thomas. **(Headpat write-in counter: Maybe 5?)**

Jake headpats Rippa before looking over Mr. Thomas, who seems to be fine and Jake heads off to make some vegetarian soup. He texts Kenny, who is still asleep, and goes to text Hanna, only to be interrupted by a knocking at the front door.

Using the cameras, Jake sees two people *wearing tracksuits that look very similar to the ones who previously broke in* saying that they have a sick animal, even tho they don’t have an animal with them. They are obviously tracking Jake.

Jake hides Mr. Thomas and tries to call Hanna, only to have her not pick up. For whatever reason, Jake doesn’t leave a message about how he’s under attack and instead pulls the fire alarm. **(In hindsight, probably should have both left a message and tried to hide, the only people who would break in would be either government spooks or sups, both of which would kick our ass)**

Seeing that Jake isn’t coming out, the invaders break down the door and attempt to charge Jake and Rippa. Jake manages to get the silver knife into one of the invaders, who keeps it lodged in and starts strangling Jake.

Jake attempts to break the invader’s hold, but fails and is knocked unconscious.

[Timeskip of unknown length]

Jake wakes up to the sound of a sports game and the sensation of being hung from a ceiling while chained up with another person in a similar state directly behind him.

The guy Jake stabbed seems to have entirely healed from the attack and gets a bit aggressive and Jake learns that Rippa’ is fine because the invaders lacked time due to the fire alarm.

The invaders’ boss enters and tells off the invaders for leaving such a mess, Jake gets a good look at the other person chained up but cannot recognize them.

Cue bantering between the vampiric ‘sheriff’ and Jake before the invaders half-assedly put gags on both Jake and the other person and the main guests show up.

The only notable things that occur with the guests is that the *‘sheriff’ receives a letter from the vampire Queen that is to be read once the werewolves arrive* and how the lady who delivered the letter *keeps watching Jake intently*, whether it is out of interest or hunger is unknown.

Jake and his unfortunate companion try twice to escape their bonds and fail twice, then a horde of angry werewolves kick in the door.

The ‘sheriff’ attempts to go forth with the execution of Jake and his companion, but is interrupted with a high-ranking vampire telling him to read the letter he was given.

The letter is an order for the execution of the ‘sheriff’ and his two allies by the vampire Queen for their incompetence.

Jake and his companion are removed from the ceiling soon after the execution by a vampire from New Orleans who asks if they are okay.

Jake complains about getting attacked by a ‘15ft tall monster’ yesterday and getting kidnapped today to whoever let him down,

The high-ranking vampire introduces herself as Nadège, and apologizes for the kidnapping and corruption.

A bit of a stir is created once the majority of werewolves hear that humans provided some assistance.

Nadège talks about how the Rez pack, Jake, and Kenny made a costly mess, tasked them with hunting down the rogue werewolf, and gave Jake 3 months to rehabilitate Mr. Thomas due to already too high high body count.

Nadège lacks the resources to effectively help out the werewolves due to being new to the area, so they’ll be without support for the most part.

The werewolves and Jake are dismissed and Jake carries Kenny out, Jake is introduced to the Moscow Pack leader: Frank. *Relations between them and the Rez pack seem strained, or they just don’t like Jake knowing about them*. **(Note: We got the silver knife back)**

Jake, Dakota, Mila, and Hanna talk about the meeting, Mr. Thomas’ state, Jake getting permission for Kenny to do research, and how Jake doesn’t want to get into any further combat with werewolves.

Hanna asks Jake if he can drive her home as Mila will be busy. Naturally, Jake agrees.

[Chapter 9.5: Second Level-Up(Planning)]

[Chapter 10]

During the drive, Jake indirectly asks Hanna if she wants to go on a date tomorrow, she takes the opportunity and they begin roughly planning out the next day, first clear out her storage unit followed by a pot roast and watching old movies.

Jake departs and arrives home to see his dad playing with Rippa, they speak for a bit about Rippa and why Jake came back so late followed by Jake telling Richard that there’ll be a pot roast for him tomorrow.

Jake goes to bed and falls asleep.

### Day thirteen: Wednesday

Jake wakes up, makes two pot roasts, and feeds Rippa before heading over to Hanna’s trailer in his truck, being hyper-alert all the while.

Hanna is shoveling a pathway from her doorway to the road and finishes up as Jake rolls up, she asks him if he could help her move her TV. Jake agrees to assist, *even though Hanna’s supernatural strength should be enough to move it*.

Hanna follows Jake in and they both try to move the TV, they try for five minutes and fail to move the TV a centimeter.

Hanna looks for some tools to assist with moving the TV while Jake searches for bolts and a plug, *he finds neither*. Hanna returns with a crowbar and suddenly the TV turns on and starts playing old commercials at max volume.

Jake quickly mutes the TV, he speaks with Hanna about the weirdness of the TV as they head over to the storage unit, where they talk further about the oddity of Dakota leaving Hanna the trailer and its land as well as the storage unit and how Kenny might be able to sell off some of the old actions figures and comics.

Hanna gets the key to her storage unit and Jake follows along, he is startled when he sees a mannequin.

They start emptying out the unit, the big thing they find in the first quarter is a box of old vinyls, playboy magazines, a cymbal monkey, which is soon decapitated, and miscellaneous valuables. They pause and talk about taking a break for lunch and unloading the truck before getting back to it.

In the next quarter of the unit is an arcade cabinet and other miscellaneous valuables are uncovered and placed in the truck. Hanna heads off to toss the garbage that was gathered from the unit while Jake gets in the truck. He sees the *cymbal monkey, in one piece and on the dashboard*, he swiftly takes it and throws it over a fence.

They drive over to Larry’s for lunch before heading over to Kendra’s Second-Hand store to sell off their unwanted stuff for $115 and learn that Nadège altered Kendra’s memory so she’d think that Mr. Thomas went on a cruise and gave Jake three extra months to rehabilitate Mr. Thomas.

While moving to leave, Jake encounters Markus and Sarah. Jake introduces Hanna and Sarah while learning that Markus has been brought back in while Andy is under investigation for destroying a police car.

Jake directs Markus and Sarah to what they’re looking for before heading back with Hanna to the storage unit and recontinue their excavation efforts before finding a *Polybius arcade machine*.

They call up Kenny to look it over, who responses panicky, fearing that Jake ended up in some more misfortune, and appraise the machine while Jake looks it over for if it needs any repair. He agrees to buy it for $200 and sell any items other random collectables they find.

They are nearly completed with empting the unit and find some almanacs, *a trunk with a new padlock*, and some old AD&D books.

Hanna breaks off the padlock and opens the trunk, it is filled with decades worth of supernatural creatures being hunted, most notably a picture of a Rez native and someone who looks identical to Jake holding a slain bat-demon, the picture is dated 1942.

Naturally, questions about time travel arise and they decide to get a new lock for it and keep the ‘Masquerade Nuke’ at Jake’s house as Hanna is planning on selling her house and it would reflect very badly on her to possess it.

Kenny arrives on site to pick up the Polybius arcade machine and responds with glee once he learns about the ‘Masquerade Nuke’ wanting to digitize it for ease of reading. He is warned by Jake and threatened by Hanna to not share it with anyone nor leave it vulnerable to being found.
