Bobby listened further with Pyroth. She really was a good listener, and always had a good memory. The woman had never gone for anything but a lowly street cop, though... it just wasn't her style. Besides, she thought she could do more being close to the people than working indirectly with them. "I hope these... feelings don't happen too often. I take it you cannot control it, what with a coyote transformation and all. I didn't know coyotes did so much hunting. Of course, we didn't get get too many in New York City." She smiled slightly.
"No," Bobby chuckled, "I don't do such a thing often. It is a common side-effect with being electricuted to the point of unconsciousness. Much like fainting and..." the woman coughed, finishing the last in a whisper, "...and dying."
"Sadly, I never watched that. I was only 17 when I had my first kid. Before that, I was too busy to watch TV. After that, the only TV we watched were children shows. I don't think Trevor would have appreciated raising out children on a show called "the Prisoner"." Bobby smiled a little, she could just imagine his shocked face at the suggestion.
The woman eyed Pyroth. A strange show, and a stranger connection. "Have you ever tried avoiding the staff or something? Or is it more their indirect actions? I haven't been here as long, and the only person I ever met was Moreau himself, and that was only when he gave me the injection."

"I don't think coyotes do hunt much, they scavenge a lot. If you ask me it's not entirely the coyote's fault I'm so obsessed with hunting." he waved a paw not sure how to explain it "I think it's sort of given me the instincts that part of me had been craving for a long time. Humans are generally vicious bastards trapped in a fleshy weak and weaponless body, now I have weapons part of me, out of my control, doesn't half mind using them." he shook his head "I don't like it but the more I embrace it the less likely it is that I'll lash out at someone out of the blue." The idea he might harm someone he knew terrified him but he never voiced his concerns.
He sighed again "An electric shock like that could do some lasting damage never mind just knocking you out. They should tone down that chip or whatever it is before it kills someone."
Pyroth looked dissapointed "You never saw it? I mainly saw reruns, I was only 4 when the first episode came out so obviously didn't see it then. But yeah, It would probably mess with kids minds, I saw it when I was like, 18 and it weirded me out too. "
"Avoiding the staff? Not really, I've met a few of them, James andMoreau when I arrived and Aubrey a good few times after that. Not all of them though. I wouldn't trust my self control if I came across a lone Moreau any time soon though."

Bobby nodded, "I can understand that. We were constantly 'hunting' people, so that is not a new concept to me. Pigs aren't very notable for their hunting tactics. They can be vicious, and what a temper. I used to always be so cool-headed, but after that transformation, I feel myself getting angry so much more often." The woman shrugged, "I'll just have to deal with it. I took awhile off, went to the woods and stayed in a cave. I feel bad for the trees I beat up, but better them than someone with a bit more flesh to them. I feel much more in control now."
"I am not sure they are too concerned about electricucian." Bobby sighed, "I have so much fat anyway, they might have given me a stronger dose, per say."
With a bright smile, Bobby prodded Pyroth with her eyes, "Well, then maybe we should see if we can get them later and watch the episodes?" She winked, finishing off an artichoke.

"Tell me about it." Pyroth grinned "Boar are some of the most vicious animals I've come across, before I came here I could have imagined pigs as helpless..I was wrong." he cringed "Even Jamal got kicked pretty bad by one when we were out hunting and he's turning into a tiger." He grinned "But definately, the best cure for the instincts I find is to actually let them vent, otherwise they just drive you nuts."
He helped himself to the other bottle of water despite not really feeling like more liquid, he knew the more the better in his condition. "That's not a bad idea, I wouldn't half mind seeing it again, remind me of being young and home again." he chuckled
"It probably wouldn't be as messed up as I remember, not after all of this. ""

Bobby grinned, almost maliciously, "You remember that when you come after me!" Even though she said it in that tone, her eyes were saying it was all in good fun. Of course, if one of the predators came after her, she would definitely she them she would not be the best choice for a meal. Besides, running away would be out of the question....
"Well then!" Bobby slapped the table, but not very hard, "That's settled! After this whole thing blows over, we'll have a movie night watching 'The Prisoner'!" As kind of a side note, the woman sighed, "At least, if it does blow over... it has to!"
"Yeah..." she took a large chug from her cola, "I can't imagine anything more ******** up than this..."

Pyroth heard it loud and clear, dead set in the first place that no way would he go after a boar half as big as he was never mind one human sized "No fear of that. I saw how you handled Billy, I don't want to be at the sharp end of your anger." he gave her a broad grin.
"But definately, I could do with a night in watching something, haven't really seen a television since August last year when I got here. And everything blows over here, lets just hope this one doesn't have a sting in it's tail, Moreau sounded more pissy than I've ever heard him and I wouldn't put it past him to do something nasty to us all if the attacker isn't found."
He waved a paw "I could care less though, if I found out who did it, I wouldn't tell that git a thing even on pain of death."

Bobby threw a half-grin at Pyroth, "I was still fully human when I pinned Billy. Needless, he deserved that!" The woman rolled her eyes, "See, now you are sounding like my kids...even though they hardly cared if they made me mad or not. Of course, they had nothing to worry about."
"He did sound.... angry." Bobby licked her lips nervously, "I haven't seen what the man can do, but figuring we are turning in to animals... I don't think I want to see the full extent. But even Moreau is human.... matching human, at least with DNA, more so than any of us. He is susceptible to the harm and death of a loved one looming in front of him." The woman looked up at Pyroth from her bowed head, "I've seen the worst killers and rapist break down when a friend or family... or even pet, is threatened. Moreau may be insane and a sadist, but he hasn't killed anyone... yet."
The mood passed and Bobby took another deep drink, "You should care, this affects all of us." She frowned, "Especially Colche, I would assume." The woman sighed sadly and shook her head, "We were discussing Mother's Day just the other day.... she was so excited to do something for Aubrey..."

The coyote couldn't help but have his mood lightened by Bobby "Maybe so, if that's the case I don't want to do anything that means I deserve the wrath of Bobby. I'll be a good doggie." he couldn't help but laugh at calling himself doggie, sure it was a pain in the butt being like this but at least he wasn't going the way of some of the other islanders, reptiles, birds and the like. He had to stop laughing pretty quickly though as his shoulder made its pain known again.
He raised a brow "I'd imagine he can throw a real hissy fit when he wants too, every time I've met him he struck me as high strung and just waiting for something to snap. A guy like that can only be expected to get nasty when things start messing up." Pyroth frowned, trying not to think of the past in relation to what Bobby spoke of. He had weaknessess too and could relate. "But yeah, you are right. Still, doesn't mean I wouldn't kill him myself given a moment's chance, no hesitation."
His ears flicked back at the mention of Colche "Yeah, I just met her up at the labs, she won't leave the gates until Aubrey comes out. Poor little soul. I even had to take a tent up to her."

Bobby couldn't resist herself. She pulled out a biscuit. "Good doggie! Now... sit!" pause, "Good boy!" The woman tossed the biscuit and it landed expertly on the table in front of him... of course, there wasn't much distance to cover anyways.
The pig shrugged, "Well, the fact that he cares helps, at least we know he's got some feelings." Pyroth's attitude set Bobby's police nerves on edge. Something didn't seem to fit quite right. She pushed them aside. What did it matter now? It didn't. "I'm not sure I'd be up for murder. I've put too many others behind bars for such things. Not to mention, where do we have to go? I love Trevor, but I think even this may be too much for him. They won't treat us the same."
She sighed again, "As much as I hate to admit it, we still need Moreau."
"Colche?" Bobby perked up. "So that's where that girl is! I've been looking all over for her." The woman puled out the pad and paper and crossed everything off. She shook her head, "That wasn't even on my list, you've saved me a lot of time!" Without hesitation, Bobby leaned forward and planted an innocent kiss on the coyote's cheek. It was typical of Bobby, if you knew her that well. Somewhere down the line she had picked up that Southern European habit.

Pyroth crossed his arms (as best he could and with a twinge of pain) at the biscuit, but grinned playfully. If his reflexes had been better, he'd have caught it out of the air just to show off. "I'm not a domestic dog." he grinned.
"Feelings are a bad thing in someone like Moreau, all it means is that he can also feel vengance and the desire to wreak it on innocent people. Sometimes emotions are a double edged sword." he leaned back on his chair "I don't think that far ahead. As far as I'm concerned getting rid of Moreau would solve my immediate problems, whatever came afterwards I'd face. I don't like depending on anyone, it's one of the biggest problems I have here, living like a patient in some hospital."
He nodded and was about to re-affirm the fact that Colche was up there when Bobby gave him a continental kiss. He froze mid-sentence and blinked before grinning. "Warn me before you do that next time." he chuckled.

"No," Bobby made a kind of mock-pouting face, "you're a wild hound!"
"Maybe so, but kind of gives one a thought that there may be another side that he rarely shows? Who knows..." The woman shrugged and calmly grabbed a pear. "Sometimes, your immediate problems are best as they are. By doing something rash, you could quite possibly make things worse." Her eyes seemed elsewhere, as if reflecting. "Things can got a lot worse..." The woman's eyes cleared and she smirked, "Can be a co-dependence. But this isn't like any hospital I know of...."
She waved him off, "Now why would I warn you? You might try and bite my nose or something... it does poke out a little more than usual..."

"I doubt there is any other side to him that's worth seeing. " Judgemental words from someone who wasn't exactly a lovely person himself "Other than the inside."
He waved a paw vaguely "It feels like a hospital to me sometimes, or some sort of leper camp, a free range prison. I liked to be able to pick and choose what I bought to eat, what I wore, where I went, what I smoked, all those kind of things, but here now it's always doing what they want or what the coyote wants." he frowned. "It bothers me, no, terrifies me that there might come a time when I never get a chance to do some human things ever again." He couldn't even cry anymore.
He shrugged off the dark mood as best he could and smirked "Hey, it's surprising when someone goes all spontaneous on you, I'd imagine you'd be surprised if I decided I was pleased and slobbered all over your face dog style." just the mental image made him cringe, he would never allow himself to stoop to such canine actions while he had his sanity. It wasn't just the canine-nes of it, more the submissiveness. He was not a submissive person if he could avoid it. "And you think /your/ nose sticks out?!" he poked his own wet nose with a digit "Meet the master nose."

Bobby pondered for a moment. Her eyes tinkled in a very womanly fashion when she eyed Pyroth, "There is one thing that I imagine would be worth seeing...."
"Isn't it funny," the woman chewed on the pear core, "how much you take something for granted once it is lost? I mean, truly. Did you ever stop to think about how much you appreciated all that? Would you have ever noticed if you had never wound up here? If this place... had never happened, would you still be living the way you were before? Unapprecative, as it were..." Bobby reached forward and grabbed one of Pyroth's paws as she heard the emotion in his voice. It was an entirely friendly motion, one buddy to another...almost a mother to a son, never mind Pyroth was older. "Remember, you are not in this by yourself."
Leaning back, Bobby smiled to the changing of the mood. "Well you know... I would probably be pleasantly surprised, though a bit disturbed, if you jumped on me and licked my face. Of course, I don't think that would be very coyote-like." The pig winked and snorted, "So, that would lead me to wonder if that was the coyote or man acting out! Of course, if could also just be 'Master Nose' at work..."

Pyroth blinked. Surely it was just him that had a disturbing mind, Bobby must have meant something more innocent than what instantly sprung to mind. Scary mental image. "Please, for the love of god, don't tell me what you mean." he cackled "I don't want to know."
He nodded "Yeah, I took everything for granted, it was all handed to me on a plate. Now I have to deal with each day as it comes, deal with crap people never have to. Makes you wish you told the ones you loved that...well, you did, so to speak. I was never the kind of person to show emotion if I could help it. Wish I had, even if it would have freaked Khan out." he swished his tail, grateful for Bobby's supportiveness, he gave her hand a squeeze with his own paw. "Thanks. It is really good to bear that in mind. Same goes for you too you know."
He couldn't help but grin again as she went on. "Hmmm, maybe it would be a little of both. Though you have no idea how weird it is when you think "I want to make this person feel better" and your brain turns around and replies with "lick their face"" he threw up his good arm exasperatedly "Whatever happened to a box of chocolates or a hug?"

Bobby grinned, her face taking on a twisted appearance, "I'll keep it to myself... for now. But I can use it for a kind of blackmail later on...."
"Not much was handed to me on a plate..." the woman shrugged, "middle child..." as if that explained it all. "I worked hard for what I had, it wasn't an easy existence, especially not in New York City. The work you do, and the people you try to help... everything only account for so little as a whole.... but quite a bit to the one person it affected." Bobby smiled a little at the memories. She usually worked with batter and abused women. They usually felt more comfortable with a woman cop. Some of the children, though... she had desperately wanted to take home; which was impossible of course. "Of all the things I regret..." Bobby shook her head, "The one person I took for granted, way too much, was Trevor." She smiled almost ironically, "He'll never know now, how much he meant to me... how much the kids meant to me..." Her eyes mistified.... she literally had to shake herself out of it. "I know I'm not alone... there's at least thirty others here, yeah!"
Bobby snorted again, "Meh, I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. We'll see what little quirks the pig has to offer. And don't worry about the box of chocolates. The way I see it, they were overrated. Hugs, though... you can never get enough of."
