That Escalated Quickly (OTA)

[st_hotflashes]

Liz was out away from the Inn around noon trying to complete a science experiment that she thought might be useful for the obstacle course she and Kitty were almost ready to start building. She had all the components laid out including benign acids and basis. She wanted to see how she could cause a spray of foam jut out as an obstacle that might need to be avoided or at least distract for a while. It was like a much more sophisticated volcano experiment but instead of 'oozing lava', her goal was for spraying foam.

She was currently on the ground writing notes about a failed attempt - doing things like this was nice to get her mind off of other things that had been taxing her mind lately. That's when she heard panting. Liz looked up, expecting, maybe, to see Dante, but what she saw made her freeze. There was a wolf a few yards away. In her peripherals, she could see three more. Liz knew enough about wolves that she figured there had to be a few more behind her, since they hunt in packs. She started to do quick calculations on how fast they probably were and how fast she was not and then what chemicals she had with her that might be good distractions...

(ooc: Anyone who has a pup itching to use their powers or feel useful, feel free to come help Liz out. There is 6 or 7 wolves depending on your needs [a typical wolf pack size])

"You're welcome really. But these woods don't seem very safe. Were you collecting... herbs or something? If you're finished, I could give you a lift... home. But if you're not, I can wait. I litteraly have nothing else to do, and I would love to help."

"I, um. I was just doing some experiments in a controlled environment... But I can stop now. I can always do it again later." Maybe bring Peter. He'd probably like to help anyways.

As the danger seemed to be gone for now, Odo reverted to his usual nearly human form, remembering how important it was for people to talk to something they could more easily relate to. "Sure no problem. I'll be happy to accompany you again later, to avoid unpleasant encounters." He didn't ask about the experiment, as always thinking that - criminal investigation aside - people would volunteer what they wanted to share. "Do you want to walk back, or if you don't mind, I can carry you, either on the ground or through the air."

"Oh, um." She flushed a little. "You don't have to carry me." That seemed like asking Odo to go more out of his way that he already had. "I already made you stop whatever it was that you were doing - I'm sorry for that. I should have probably put up some sort of, thing, to discourage wildlife. Though this is the first time I've seen wolves before." She paused. "Have you seen wolves before?"
