David had a well established routine but given he'd a girlfriend who also worked in ARI it kept him on his toes. David had walked his dog and left him to guard the apartment, a duty Sparky liked doing seeing it as a game. So of David went to the pier side having changed out of work gear and selected a baggy polo shirt and denim long shorts. We also had deck shoes on but didn't look like any of the marina people you'd find on the leftside of the main pier. He had a serious duty on this island. So as the pier side also had the marina it also had plenty of little bars with tables and umbrellas. You could drink, dine and just hang out on the sand here. He was after a bit of all three but company would also help. He knew he also needed to get to know more people and life wasn't all about work. Heading to the bar in Katrine's place he ordered a tall beer for starters and looked round. It was 9pm and wasn't busy just yet but the sound of the sea lapping at the little bit of beach that belonged to the bar sounded so relaxing. Cyrus Owens |

The night time was where he felt the most alive and the truth was that he did not know if it was the cool air or if it was because for the most part the small portion of the island that he had known was familiar and friendly too him as in no one hardly came out. Then there were those nights where he went into the clubs and just enjoyed himself but he always made sure to feed before those nights so that he would not want to eat anyone. Tonight was one of those nights as he made his way into the club.
So far it was only a few people in that he seen but that was good because it gave him more time to make sure he would be okay. He took a seat next to the man who had just ordered the tall beer and nodded. "Welcome, this is a fun bar." It was and though sometimes it could get rowdy that may or may not happen tonight.David Lightfeather

Katrine's place was more than just a bar; she also ran a club but you could still get that bit of relaxation while hearing the sea and seeing the sand shone brightly by moonlight. As David pondered his first sip of his ice cold beer he heard a voice from the left of him. "It usually is and tonight seems no different" David cheerfully replied. He sounded out of place being English but he felt he truly belonged here. The man he was now talking now looked dressed for tonight as well. "I'm David Lightfeather" he added introducing himself. Meeting new people was part of the job as well as living here after all. Cyrus Owens |

"My name is Cryus," he said almost a little too sleek. He could not help that it was apart of how it sounded when he talked. "I have never seen you around here before and trust me, trust me I never forget a face," he said as he smiled slyly before going on. "Either way, nice drink taste."David Lightfeather

David did take note of the mans tone and slyness. He'd file that away while he got to know the guy and replied "pleased to meet you Cyrus. We probally haven't ran into each other before but getting to know new people is what this isle is about". He smiled back and added "you drink what you can get your hands on. I'll probally never have a pint of bitter or pie and mash again but I can still get tea. Life is about small victories". Life was about enjoying the little things and life was certainly looking up for him right now. Cyrus Owens |

"I can completely agree with drinking what you can get your hands on." Sometimes that was literal for him but for the moment that was neither here or there. "Well it is nice to officially meet you." Once he felt that someone was a friend on the island it was not hard to get him not to feed on you. "Long day?" he asked.David Lightfeather

"It's always a long day in ARI. I was managing a hospital lab in the UK before the OSE found about the ability I was hiding. It was an easy choice to come here" David replied with a little chuckle and smile. He was doing work that was a lot more challenging now but he certainly couldn't talk about it. "So what do you get up too?" he posed to Cyrus and drank from his beer. Then added "do you want a matching beer to go with mine?" Cyrus Owens |

"I work with blood," he said. "Not like a doctor though, just help people get rid of extra." He was well he knew he had to be careful. "I will take that beer yes," he said. He would have no taste for it but he was still going to pretend. "Sometimes long days mean a good bit of work gets done yes?"David Lightfeather

David ordered a beer to match his and while looked laid back and relaxed there was always part of his mind ticking over. Then pondering the events round him. That was how he'd escaped OSE UK detection for so long. What Lucas said sounded like medical blood donation and the samples that were taken in ARI. Every country had its own public blood donation service and Ashford Isle was no exception but he'd never came across Cyrus there. So what other things could that mean? "That does sound interesting. And to answer your question the amount of progress you can make isn't always measured in the time it takes. That is the nature of science" he cheerfully replied. You wouldn't need enhanced senses to pick uo on what was going on about twenty feet away as a couple came into earshot and David screwed up his face hearing their viewpoints clash. If you clearly thought disturbing peoples harmony on their hard earned downtime was essential then there was something wrong with that person. He wondered how telepaths even coped with that and a lot more. "Excuse me Cyrus. Some people are just too loud" he added turning round on his stool to get a better look. Then seen what light there was in this semi-dim bar catch a knife. She had clearly been arguing her corner and the big guy wasn't taking no for an answer. "Excuse me? Do you mind leaving the lady alone. She clearly dosen't want you around so can you please leave before your disturb everybody else's harmony?" The man had more mass and another foot of height over David but the scientist showed no fear. Even as he moved a bit closer to the blade wielding man. Cyrus Owens |

Cyrus turned towards David and the people and then he watched David's moments and sadly he agreed. "Down right annoying a bit," he said as his ears twitched and he shook his head. He would never understand why people would be so rude none the less not take everyone else's space into mind however being around all of them made him slightly flinch as he took a second and spoke. "Care to step outside?" he asked. "We can bring the beer and then come back in."David Lightfeather |

David had faced up to even bigger men on the rugby pitch but this was another matter. Mr Big and not so Brainy really wanted to use that blade tonight and David instead had a counter suggestion for Cyrus. "Let's sort this out first. Things might turn ugly pretty soon" he quietly said so his drinking buddy could hear. So with the staring contest taking more than ten seconds things had also gotten quiet in the bar. David waited until a long arm swung blade in hand, ducked under the swing and on the way down started to change form. He'd need all his power to take this guy down. Arms bulked out more, his head changed shape slightly and his mouth changed shape into a wolf form. Eyes got darker and even his hands became ham like fists. The same form he used taking down a mobot. "Cyrus, when I get him on the floor kick him in the head. Very hard" he suggested as that was about to happen. As David hadn't started this he could finish it off in the name of keeping the peace. He also had witneses. And suddenly it was sumo time at Katrine's place. David and the big guy trying to unbalance each other as their strength was even but momentum was on David's side. Cyrus Owens |

Cyrus normally stayed out of fights but this one he could not as he watched at first and then decided to assist. His strength was a little more than average but he did not consider himself a person who showed off at all instead he took a minute to scoff and then he reeled back and kicked the man in the head, as his fangs slightly appeared but he was too caught up in the moment to notice. "People like you are the reason we fear having a good time," he said as he slightly licked his fangs.
"You need to leave and take anyone who might think that they could cause anymore trouble with you," he said as he leaned his mouth down by the man's ear. "I would bite you and turn you but you are sad and pathetic," he said as he let the man go and turned to David. "Sorry about that," he said as he wiped his fangs.David Lightfeather

David let the man go and the bouncers finished the job ejecting the big but brainless guy who by now was also seeing stars. The pair of them also got cheers and clapping as David returned to his normal form of the ordinary looking guy. "Aren't we both full of surprises" David mused to Cyrus. Then he handed the knife to the bar staff to look after; At this point he was wondering if this would end his night out but it didn't seem that anybody wanted to call the police. A line had clearly been drawn under that incident. "So how long have you been able to do that buddy?" he asked quietly once back with his beer. They'd just done community service the way David looked at it and this isle was now his home. Cyrus Owens |

He always had to take just a few seconds after every altercation in order to think about what he had did. He did not feel bad but he did not feel good so for the moment he stayed quiet. "Yeah," he said quietly.
It may have seemed as if he had regret because he did. "A while probably almost a year though it feels way longer than that. Getting used to them took a while and now I am the proud owner of them. He kept pushing so it was a bad oversight."

Now able to have a quiet conversation over beer again David nodded as he listened. "No wonder you came here. The whole big world out there dosen't understand anything beyond the confines of the unchanging normal human. Here you can find out what you can truly do and prosper; like I did. I knew I could do feral mimicry when I ten and growing up in farm country in South West England. I loved my little dog and one day as he did his three mile walk in the fields I felt even more drawn to the adorable mongrel then before. I then realised I was at his ground level and seeing the world like him; I'd became him in fact. Off course I couldn't really use the skill and couldn't even properly develop it until I got here. Otherwise I'd have been caged by now. Here I managed to unlock what you seen. The werewolf form and I can also do a partial change if that is all that is needed". David took more of his drink with his mind ticking over as they had this conversation. He could see the benefits of a person like Cyrus for the entire island. "So blood collection aside what else have you been getting up to?" he posed. Cyrus Owens |
