Tanya Annelise Schmiddt

Okay expanation time!

So most of you might wonder why my appearance here is spotty recently. Between having a new muse over on Wildstar, job searching, and shitty work hours exhausting me, its been hard getting to replies. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM ABANDONING TANYA. She will ALWAYS be my primary muse. It simply means there might be a few days here and there where I don’t get on, for the sake of my sanity, and I am sure these’ll lessen over time.Thank you for understanding. If you’d like to speak with me anytime, just ask for my skype.

Ava shook her head. “Um… nice hybrid?” she replied, looking hopeful. “A… nice hybrid that will buy me dinner because I’m hungry?” she continued, taking the risk of friendship.

Tanya held her hands up defensively, giving the stranger a look. "Woah, woah woah. Slow down kid. We just met. I ain't buying you shit until you explain yourself... and explain why i stink again, because I just fucking showered, man I smell good. Like a fuckin' lilac." she said with an almost palpable hint of sarcasm.

Ava bit her lip. “I’m sorry?” she said, it coming out more of a question than an apology. “Your scent is very, very…let’s say… not good for my wolf form,” she admitted nervously. “Are you..a killing people type of ‘hybrid’ or a keep-to-my-own-business hybrid?” Ava asked uncertainly, hoping the answer was the latter, eyes still on the claw.

"Uh... What does it look like to you?" Tanya asked rather bluntly, splaying her arms out to either side. Her shoulders were lax, and her hair, which she was lately trying to grow out, hand losely off her head, silhouetted by the light of the alley. She never understood why people jumped to the conclusion that she was out to kill someone. She was hanging in an alley. Near a meat market. In broad daylight. Someone watches too many monster movies. Besides Tanya.

T's got Ava-repellent apparently. I figure maybe it's something Ava gets used to if they become friends later in life? Oh, and I didn't mean to godmod that, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to be like all animals avoid T. Just Ava- she super-duper enhances her senses, and she's often looking or trained herself to be super-sensitive to odd scents.

Its okay and it makes sense. her infection would probably give off a lot of the same scents as rotting flesh and probably a lot of the same scent cues as an angry animal, just due to all the adrenaline force through its pores most of the time. It would make sense that something a bit more aware of the differential scents would be a bit more alerted by this.

"No…" Ava gasped. "You-" She closed her eyes. She held her breath, then let it out in one large gush, trying to slow her heart rate and control her breathing. As soon as she could breath normally, she got to her feet, bravely looking the other. "What are you?" she asked again. "You don’t smell human. Or mutant." She looked the woman over, judging. She seemed nice. No prominent banners saying ‘I’m evil!" And she had seemed a little concerned for her well-being. Though her skin was… different. Mutation, alien, or skin rash? And -whomp. That was a claw. Claws were hardly ever good. She swallowed and backed up a step, wishing she could shift, but she knew the scent would be too overwhelming for her.

Tanya was going to open her mouth and answer, but the stranger had already ruled out human. Maybe this was some sort of weird alergic reaction to her infection? As far as she knew, she was an adrenal forme. They don't spore. Not to mention her infection was catatonic, so it couldn't even emit any sort of thing like that if it did spore. Tanya was confused. But either way, a straight answer would be better than looping around the question of her definite humanity.

"I'm a Hybrid. I guess. Y'know most people politely ask, but... I'm gonna let this slide because ou're...like..havin' a panic attack or some shit..."

Her mismatched eyes blinked, the rightmost giving off its little glow as the reduced lighting was filtered out, even to a minor degree.

Ava stumbled back, head reeling at the scent. She heard words, but she couldn’t- everything in her body was screaming not right not right not right. She pawed at her nose, trying to make the scent go away. In her hysteria, she solved the overwhelming scent in the only way she knew how: she shifted.

As soon as she was human again, she fell to her knees, coughing. The scent was gone, as her weak human nose couldn’t smell even the most obvious scents, and she just breathed for a minute, hands resting on her jeans, looking down. She slowly looked up, eyes watering, and met the eyes of the other person. “What…the heck…are you?” she gasped.

Tanya sat still for a moment, her claw hanging limply by her side as the cute little puppy turned into some sort of lady thing. Her first reaction was to take a huge whiff of the air to make sure there wasn't anything hallucinogenic wofting around around her. Her nose was senstive. Sure, her nose usually picked up blood, or meat or things that weren't socially acceptable to know a lot from just by scent. But the air smelled clean tonight. Minus the strange odors from the person on their knees before her. Wait... knees? Oh please don't let this be some creepy GENESIS recuit. That was the last thing she needed on a day like this. Though she was fairly sure metahumans or... whatever this poor girl was, weren't allowed in GENESIS. Impurities or some shit. Maybe she was a werewolf. That would be rad.

...No Tanya, bad. Stop getting bad ideas. Mei already had to deal with the vampirism accident.

"You... okay, kid? Get pepper sprayed or some shit?"

’I tend to think that you should at least give them the benefit of sentience.’

"Well if we're granting sentience, then I say go for krill. Worms keep to themselves and have that cool ass appendage regeneration like I do. Krill just get in veryones way in massive hoards, until the laziest mammal in existance accidentally eats them."

"Sometimes making them angry is unavoidable. Kids don’t like it when they get things taken away, but it’s a good lesson. If she’s roughhousing another kid and they’re not likin’ it, you go in and yank her away, and tell her not to do that and why. Gotta teach ‘em early, and you have to interrupt any bad behaviour.”

"Its more or less just left to me to take that step from 'best-friend guardian' to actual parenthood. Its a rough step. But I guess I gotta take it. She's gonna thank me for in the long run, hopefully. And not resent me for it."

[again, the young girl shrugs.]

Da told me tha’ my auntie will put me in school soon. I’m scared because I don’t know this place. He told me I’ll make lots of friends. I hope so.

[she presses the last puzzle piece into place and studies the picture. it’s a castle with ivy that winds up the stone walls. she stands up promptly and walks over to her backpack by the door, pulling two colouring books from inside. she has a bag of crayons and she dumps them on the coffee table when she returns. she pushes a book toward tanya and opens her own to a blank page.]

This’s a new place and big. There are a lot more people than at home.

[Tanya gave the girl a wide smile, before carefully picking out the bluest violet should find from the pile of crayons. She was coloring in coloring books with the god child of her friend. Yeah sure, this seemed like a good way to spend the day.]

"Well, making friends is easy. Your dad's right about that. Just be yourself and I'm sure a whole bunch of people will love to be your best friend and come over to play. However, you gotta remember that not everyone is nice. But just because they're not nice doesn't mean they deserve it back. Sometimes not-nice people just are confused or sad and don't know how to let it out right. Everyone needs friends, even if they seem mean, or scary, on the outside."

[At this point, Tanya was basically just quoting her own mother. It was still helpful and relevant advice for...whatever age the little one was.]

Ava sighed as she wandered the streets, putting two paws on a store front window, sniffing at the meats displayed, belly rumbling. She hadn’t eaten in a while- maybe she could get free food. She hurried to the back, pawing on the back door. A cook opened it, looking first at eye level then down. “angry stray,” he grumbled, but he retreated back into the kitchen and gave her a bone. Much better. Ava took it, tail wagging, and settled in the alley way to snack so she could watch the crowd walking by in the twilight. Gnawing on the bone, she sat for a while, only moving when people walked by or threatened her. People were mean. Some crouched down to pet her. People could be nice too.

She mused over ‘people’ for a while, until the meat was almost gone, when a strange scent wafted by. She sniffed the meat- maybe it was bad?- but the meat smelled meat-ily normal. With a grumble, she got to her feet and began weaving through the crowd, going back on a second thought for the bone.

She tracked the scent through the alleys, getting more and more confused as she followed it. It was nothing she had smelt before, and the thought got her heart racing. New monster, new villain? Or new human? Or new brand of perfume? She stopped as she heard movement ahead, and took a deep breath, and trotted out into the light, tail wagging as she went out to sniff the woman in front of her. As soon as she reached close enough, the scent hit her full force, and she recoiled, rolling on the ground and whining. It was strong, and it definitely wasn’t human. Or from earth.

Tanya had been keeping to herself for most of the day. Her friend had been busier than she had anticipated, giving her the whole day to herself. Sadly, that wasn't something Tanya was good at. She generally liked plans and structure with what she was going to do with her day, even if she was a generally chaotic person, she had goals. Todays plan was a movie night with Mei. But mei had important things to do. Some superhero business nonsense or whatever. Basically one of those 'Tanya please don't follow you're as conspicuous flashing light' situations.

Oh well. More time for her to...er... wait and hope someone texts her... or something. However, the sudden noise made her jump out of her skin. A loud whine, drom something canine. Her fist instinct was that she had maybe caught it with her claw. She turned around to the mutt and tilted her head. "Whatcha doin' here, huh? Dogs ain't supposed to wander alleys. That's the pound happens, y'know?"
