Let slip the dogs of war

[freezerburned]

Date&Time: The week of the moon base happenings!
Location: Moon Base
Charactes: Scott (workout), Isaac (freezerburned), Peter (painedintheballs) and everyone they run into!
Summary: Werewolves. On the Moon. Sounds like a B horror movie, doesn't it?

Notes:
This is a giant catch-all log for the wolf shenanigans on the moon. The log will be split into three top level comments:
Confrontation, for characters to run into Scott and Isaac separately and fight them/try to weaken them for containment/be mauled by them,
Containment, which will be closed to the characters doing the permanent containment, and
During Containment, which is for characters to interact with the wolves while they're incapacitated, but still twigging out- this is where possible solutions will be threaded out!

Moon Base FAQ!

And a quick note to all of our awesome volunteers! We had a ton of people respond to the plotting post, so in the interest of keeping timelines intact but making it inclusive, we settled on one actual capture scenario and opened up the confrontation section to any and all containment attempts. They won't be successful, but will still give us a chance to get some CR going!

Same applies to the during containment/solution thread. We'll probably select one "permanent" fix, but we can thread out all kinds of temporary fixes or attempted fixes in the meantime, so feel free to jump in!

Also, this was super well timed because Isaac-mun is going on a birthday road trip at the end of the week (I'll be gone until Saturday, sorry guys!), and Scott/Peter mun are both slammed by work so BACKTAGS MAY BE A THING THAT HAPPENS sorry guys ;w;

/TL;DR SORRY

[Lily crouches down, still baring her teeth. She's poised to react to whatever attacks might come in at her, but she makes no move to move toward him just yet.

There's some small, nagging part of her mind that's not operating on pure instinct like the rest of her is, and that part tells her not to keep charging. This isn't like before. It's not a training exercise where she needs to kill those genetically engineered monsters. She'll still get to rest and eat even if he lives. She just needs to watch him and be ready to react if he attacks again.]

[freezerburned]

[He will.

There's nothing in Isaac's mind that wants to stop, not when they've both drawn blood by now. Still, he's more cautious about it, circling around the small girl, breathing in slow growls as the blood rings its metallic taste through his mouth.

When he attacks, it's sudden, precise- more careful than last time, keeping an arm back to cover himself as he darts forward and slashes out for Lily's shoulder.]

[small_berserker]

[Lily side-steps to narrowly dodge the attack and moves to seize the arm he'd used to strike out at her. Her own little yet deceptively strong arm will function as the leverage needed for hyperextending his elbow joint...

Instinct and that more rational part of her mind were at war while she decided how brutal to be. Instinct said to go for the kill. That rational part said no. She needed to stop him, not kill him.]

[freezerburned]

[There's an inhuman shriek when she pushes too hard on the point of his elbow and Isaac can feel the bones creaking in protest as she pushes. She could easily snap it- he'd heal, but it's not something he particularly wants to go through.

Isaac pulls his claws back in that case, trying to move with her, to take the pressure off of the arm she's threatening to snap, rather than attempt to kill her again.]

[small_berserker]

[She's holding onto some semblance of rational thought by a thread. It's a precarious thing, but instinct and reason are coinciding for once. All she needs to do is take control. Assert herself as stronger, and maybe that will be enough to make him back down.

She moves to turn his arm around, to try to force him down to avoid snapping the joint. She'd try to talk to him, but she's too far gone to do that. The only restraint she can manage is this.]

[freezerburned]

[Isaac takes in a deep breath of air, inhaling shakily and trying to breathe through the sudden pain. He can feel his muscles pulling, arm open and exposed as Lily continues to push at it. And he wants to resist- tries to for a few seconds, but the sudden pressure to his elbow makes him heed her unspoken command in the end.

The wolf drops to one knee and then two with a low whine, pulling faintly at her grip, trying to test it- but she's strong, and while they may be evenly matched, the child has both leverage and a position advantage over him at the moment.]

[small_berserker]

[Lily holds on for a full minute, non-verbally asserting that she is in charge here. That's what Heine's had to do for her when she went berserk. She's barely in control herself here, but it's enough. For now it's enough.

After a minute has passed, with her unrelenting grasp on his arm, she finally releases him. She doesn't lower her guard, but she doesn't move to strike at him. He's free to go if he doesn't try attacking her again.]

[freezerburned]

[Isaac staggers forward when she finally lets go, his free arm moving to rub at the hyperextended joint, gritting out a sound of pain between his teeth. He takes a deep breath in before slowly releasing it, glancing back at her with vivid yellow eyes.

There's a beat of silence, and then two, and he doesn't quite move yet- but Lily has made her point. She isn't prey.

With a low rumble in his throat, Isaac turns on his heel and starts running- not quite fleeing from her, but clearly not interested in any further fighting.]

[small_berserker]

[Lily stands her ground but doesn't pursue. He's backing off. If she was in a more rational state, it might occur to her to follow to try to prevent him from attacking anyone else. At the moment, she's just taking some slow deep breaths and trying to calm herself down, ensuring that she doesn't turn and show her back until he's out of sight.]
