Yellow Pages Allegiance check

She hadn't heard from Dove since that talk around when she'd posted an ad. Seemed sharp to check in.

Hows things going after the full moon

Grace

Oh shit...she felt like a heel not messaging Grace after she had helped her

It went alright thanks to your help, no one got hurt and seems I'm a for sure

Dove

Whats it like?

Grace

Uh definitely different. Feels like I have a hitchhiker in my head that constantly wants to sniff and eat everything :/ Also having a constant fever is weird as hell. I do miss being a boring human though, much easier.

Dove

That sounds ruff

got some shifters you keep around now? Anyone know who did it?

Grace

The ruff made her snort a smidge

Its a bit barkin'

I do, I got a guy who's basically helping me whenever I need it and I joined their group...my group? Pack thing. Yea found out who did it n all and the leader guy is going to talk to them. Seems they are young and new to it

Dove

Is that person gonna be like

Punished or somethin

For completely changing your life and shit???

Yes

Also if I get the ok on it, they're workin' for me for a time because my business is/will be affected by this so they're going to learn and work for forgiveness from my part

Dove

Wait whose working for you

The one who turned me. Possibly. It's up to them butt even if they don't they're still in trouble for this mess

Dove

Wait so

A werewolf so out of control that she attacked you

Is going to be giving tattoos to people who are going to be in pain and bleeding and vulnarable and shit

Grace

Oh she laughed

Oh! No! Cleaning. That is ALL they will be doing is just cleaning. I'm not letting them touch a tattoo gun, don't worry

Dove

That was better? Kind of? But not a lot? Because this dumb bitch was still working for her.

So is she getting paid

Is this just like really fuckin dangerous volunteer work

She isn't working near anyone but me

I'm not risking my business just to get some payback for being turned into a furball

Dove

No she still wanted to punch her lights out but would have to settle for manual labor.

Grace didn't hear an answer to that first question.

It looked like petty punishment. She could picture it now, some sitcom bullshit: THE #1 COMEDY IN AMERICA! A QUIRKY TATTOO ARTIST HAS TO WORK WITH THE TROUBLEMAKING WEREWOLF WHO TURNED HER! And inevitably, like some buddy cop garbage, Dove would learn to forgive the werewolf, and then go on to turn other people and force them into the same fucking cycle.

She recognized how useless this conversation was. It happened with Blair. Happened with Jimmy. These people got brainwashed. Lovebombed. Cult-initiated. Had their lives ruined and then told by the same people who did it that the only way to happiness was to stick with them.

Fuck this shit.

Putting her phone down, she set out to pace the outdoor hall outside her apartment instead of saying all the things she knew wouldn't help.

With no response, she would just go back to what she was doing and that was sketching for another client because she had to somehow feed herself and her two sugar gliders still.
