I'm not going to be 'good' just because I've been told by my captors.  I don't want to drink that much beer and I'm not going to.

As a matter of completely idle curiosity, are there werewolves in the City?  Are they really dangerous? How do you tell if someone is a werewolf?  Like, if you're not

Can't you poke them with silver? ...Or tag them. Discretely.

You know, like on the nature shows. Werewolf 32-A....

And that guinea pig is illegally cute.

Um, I'm not sure that would be the best idea. At best I'd be poking someone who didn't deserve it, and at worst I'd be pissing off a monstrous creature of darkness. But I guess I could see if he avoided silver. I mean, if there was someone I thought was a werewolf.

Glad you like him.

But if you don't strike fast, you could wake up and find all your food eaten. Or you eaten. You never know. You have to be careful.

For what it's worth, the werewolves in my world are readily identifiable in their human forms. They exhibit most (although not necessarily all) of the following:

Hairy palms
An aversion to silver
Increased consumption of meat (raw or cooked)
A quick temper
Restlessness in the week prior to the full moon
A tendency to growl when angry

Good to know. Thanks.

An aversion to silver and the palm-thing are probably the most useful signs. I mean the rest could just mean the hypothetical alleged werewolf was just hungry and cranky.

Note to self: put silver around Babbage's cage. Also my doorknob, just to be safe.

Of course!

Well... the other symptoms are only truly notable when you're familiar with the person the werewolf in question was prior to their infection.
