What is it that we find so captivating about the concept of a man shedding his humanity and becoming a beast? Is it merely the appeal of the uncanny, the unfamiliar arising in a familiar setting-the wolf where no wolf should be? I’ve always suspected there’s an element of longing we don’t like to admit to; the desire to shed not only the form but

You had to...

It's doesn't really matter anyway because you're David D-

Oh, that's fine, Mulder. And if you've broken anything you really don't have to replace it. Were you attacked yesterday?

[call_me_spooky]

What? No. A pair of jeans, for an acquaintance who found herself somewhat more anthropomorphic than usual.

Go ahead.

[call_me_spooky]

Thank you, I appreciate you giving me your time.

Well, let's start with the easy one. Do you have any enemies in the City you believe may be responsible?

private;

[inbetrayal]

Of course.

... None that would have orchestrated the attack in such a manner, I imagine. It's hardly as if I'm anyone's favorite in this place, anyways.

[bitingnightmare]

What.

[call_me_spooky]

What what?

[bitingnightmare]

What the hell are you trying to say.

[call_me_spooky]

You know, thinking aloud. So to speak.

[halfvulcan]

I compiled a comprehensive list of the transformations recorded on the Network should you be interested, Mr Mulder.

[call_me_spooky]

It would be interesting information to have... Though what I'm more curious about is the reaction people had to the experience.

[halfvulcan]

Ah. You did ask who had been "keeping score." Curiously, there were an equal number of domestic cats as there were domestic dogs.

[call_me_spooky]

Were there? Huh. Seemed like the cats were winning to me.

You weren't affected?

[monochrome_mind]

I was wondering if you managed to evade yesterday's curse, Agent Mulder.

Either way, I was cursed the other day. And to answer one of your questions, I beleive my transformation was based upon research I was doing days ago.

[call_me_spooky]

I'm mostly glad that I missed it because bad puns always hurt.

What sort of research, if you don't mind my asking?

[monochrome_mind]

Ach...I know that feeling. You've been given unnecessary jokes and puns over your name as well, I take it?

Japanese mythology. Different demon, gods, and the like. I was turned into a dog spirit, for what it's worth. There's also the possibility that a certain Deity was out to get me...

[call_me_spooky]

There's a reason not too many people call me 'Fox.'

I see. Do you think there's any correlation, though, between yourself and the attributes of that creature? Or is it just because you were studying them, do you think?
