What is it about being a big white werewolf that makes people walk right up to me and start talking? I love it, but it's funny... if I were in Real Life, the villagers would come after me with pitchforks and torches. (and by the way, villagers, you ever smell smoking fur? you may want to rethink the whole burning thing... just, you know, FYI)
I love being the silly, loping fool for people... what the good folk at White Wolf call the "Ragabash" auspice. This is interesting, because I was born under a full moon... just like any Garou who follow the Ragabash path. Additionally, the RWS (or Real World Self, for those new to this blog) is a Cancer, the Moon Sign. AND! He was born in 1969, the year Mankind walked on the Moon. AND AND! The astrological symbol for Cancer resembles the number '69', just like the year of his birth!
What's it all mean? Is there any significance at all to the fact that he was born on the Seventh day of the Seventh month, at Seven PM, weighing in at Seven pounds, eleven ounces?
No? Oh.
Anyway, the freedom in being me is pretty exciting, and heady. As I often tell people, I'm just a puppy! No reason to fear me. And even those who, at first, are cautious around me, fearing the large claws and teeth, soon realize that I'm just a playful pup who'd rather lay his head in their laps than rend them with my fangs. I've made so many new friends, in fact, that it's difficult to spend time with them all. So this post is a way for me to apologize to those who see me come in-world but not contact them right away. Hi everybody! Akela loves you all! I'm just one wolfie, though, and my time in SL is limited. But I'll catch up with you soon!
