Context: You live in the sleepy coastal town of Autumn Fall, where two things are always true: newcomers visit in the summer to fall in love, and everyone knows Paul, the werewolf. You certainly do, though he always acts odd around you. Nervous, like you're going to scold him if he growls even a little. He never really wants to talk about what is bothering him either... Maybe, someday...?

Setting: Autumn Fall - General / Schoolhouse

[V] = Vinny, bisexual himbo good boi

[P] = Mr. Paul, seasoned werewolf, needs a hug

[Scene opens in Autumn Fall, a sleepy coastal Southern town - 1880s]

[SFX: Summer ambiance/a paper rustling/footsteps]

[It is the first day of summer and, as always, some newcomers are settling in and trying to find love. One such newcomer is currently approaching the only monster in town, clutching a paper]

[V] “Excuse me? Sir?”

[The werewolf side-eyes him, reading his own paper as he leans against a building]

[P] “Mmh?”

[V] “I got this here flyer from one of the shop windows saying that you were looking fer help. It, um, said ‘ask the werewolf’ and I haven’t seen any other ones around here…”

[P, with a snort] “Congratulations, you passed my very basic trouble test. What brings you to town, newcomer? Lord knows anyone who lives here regularly knows old Paul.”

[V] “Oh! Well, I got dumped… They said I was too immature and thick-headed, so I came here to see if I could find work, maybe buy us a place, and prove that I could change, you know?”

[The old werewolf scoffs]

[P] “Puh-lease. You think you’ll win this person of yours by getting a job here in Aumtun Fall, buying yourself a house, and proving you can be an adult?”

[V] “Oh… Well, yeah! That was the problem and you put a thing in the local paper about needing a helper, so…”

[The werewolf folds his arms]

[P] “Mmh… Well, I am. Do you reckon you can help me repair a fence so I can test ya? I’ll pay you for the work unless you end up breaking the damned thing. It’s an, um, important work order for an important client…”

[V] “Can do! Name’s Vinny.”

[P] “Paul. Pleasure.”

[They shake hands]

[P] “Alright, the place is up the hill, overlooking the ocean.”

[V] “You mean the school house? Oh, that’s fair! The fence did look like it needed some fixing up.”

[P] “Yeah… Just be respectful, alright? They make up a bulk of my work orders, they’re nice folk, and I don’t want that getting messed up.”

[V] “Mmhm, plus that Miss Posie is real nice! She brought me some lemon bars when I moved in.”

[P, with a subtle growl] “Yeah…”

[V] “Ooh… Do we not like Miss Posie?”

[P, flustered] “Miss Posie is divine! FINE! Miss Posie is FINE! Wait, shit, no that’s… Godamnit, she’s a nice lady. I harbor no ill will or complaints towards her.”

[Pause]

[SFX: Fill with them walking up the hill together]

[V] “...This place sure is pretty, huh?”

[P] “Yep… Lived here my whole life, ain’t never gotten tired of it.”

[V, chipper] “Hopefully I won’t either, huh? Oh! There it is up ahead.”

[P] “I, um, would you, uh, go and let Miss Posie know that we’ll be poking around the fence, please? Don’t want to disturb her class too much…”

[V] “Can do, Boss!”

[The young man jogs the rest of the distance while Mr. Paul looks the fence over, muttering to himself]

[P] “Alright, let’s see… Guess I got lucky the brickhead showed up when he did… Gave me a distraction. Now, let’s see… I reckon one of the posts has cracked at the base underground. It’s making the rest of the fence lean a little more than I like…”

[SFX: Wood creaking]

[He gently moves the post with a frown]

[P] “Damn… I’d wanted to have the garden out here done ‘fore summer ended, but fixing this thing is gonna take a bit… One more summer disappointing that poor woman…”

[He sighs to himself, despite how sweet the breeze is]

[P] “...Still ain’t good enough…”

[V] “Hey, Mr. Paul!! Miss Posie wanted to say hi”

[Pause!]

[P] “TARNATION-!”

[SFX: A whole-ass fence being ripped up]

[You watch in disbelief as Mr. Paul leaps to his feet in a panic and, somehow, rips a whole-ass fence up. The sleepy little town quiets further]

[V] “...Uh, Mr. Paul?”

[P, very distressed] “Mmhm?!”

[V] “How come you just ripped up the whole fence in front of Miss Posie?”

[Pause…?]

[The old werewolf sweats which… you didn’t realize a werewolf could do…]

[P] “Ahaha…haaaa… You know what, M-Miss Posie, I reckon I’m gonna have to build the school house a new fence anywho! See all the bugs eating the wood, here?”

[...?]

[P] “WELL you gotta squint real hard, and you ain’t wearing them purty glasses o’ yours.”

[V] “...How come yer accent is getting stronger and goin’ kinda Irish, Mr. Paul?”

[P] “VINNY! Vinny… You’re a good lad, Vinny, you really are. Like you a Hell of a lot more when you keep your mouth shut though because that gives me time to plan and I reckon the plan here is that we take the fence, salvage what we can, and then rebuild-”.

[He pauses and gasps for a quick breath of air]

[P] “-rebuild the fence on better soil since the rains will loosen it up enough to dig posts!”

[V, confused in himbo:] “...OK?”

[Pause?]

[Mr. Paul straightens and shoots you a grimace. A smile?]

[P] “Aha! Don’t you worry none, fair Miss Posie! I’ll get your schoolhouse looking nicer than ever! Don’t worry about being out of budget, alright? Ol’ Paul will handle it.”

[...Pause <3]

[His ears shoot straight up and he gives you a look that’s a mix between ‘stubborn husky on the verge of a tantrum’ and ‘boy looking to pull a pigtail’]

[P] “Wh- uh, I, um…”

[V, cheerily] “Yer welcome, Miss Posie! We’ll take the wood out of yer way and come back come morning!”

[Pause!]

[V] “Eyup, hope you have a good night!”

[Pause!]

[SFX: The gents gathering the fence posts and hurrying off]

[You watch them bustle to gather the unfortunate fence and then practically race off into the fading sunset. One can only imagine what men talk about with each other…]

[P] “...I owe you a lot for bailing me out back there, Vinny.”

[V, chipper] “I didn’t know you liked Miss Posie!”

[P, snarling] “I don’t! I respect her! Rearing them childrens is hard, and teaching them is more so! A man can respect a lady without wantin’ to kiss her or hold her or… or put a ring on her finger and promise you’ll be an excited puppy to come home to her every night and you wanna be a part of every dream she achieves if she’ll let ya, and maybe you write her poetry that she shares with a daughter and it’s not good poetry but… makes her laugh…”

[Pause…]

[V] “...Wow, OK, I believe you don’t like Miss Posie.”

[P, with a sigh of relief] “Thank you.”

[V] “Cause you LOVE her!”

[P] “Boy, I am about three seconds away from-!”

[V] “I can outrun you, Mr. Paul, and if yer gonna kill me anyway, I will go out tellin’ her.”

[P] “...Huh. Sharper than I gave ya credit for. Maybe you’ll get your lady after all, Vinny.”

[V] “Oh! Actually, his name is Nate…”

[P] “...Huh.”

[V] “I like both, if that’s what yer workin’ yer way up to asking.”

[P, with a sigh] “...You know what? Yer hired. You bailed me out and you’re helping an old dog learn some new things.”

[V, chipper] “Thanks, Mr. Paul!”

[P, with a snort] “Yer welcome. Come on, let’s get home. Seems we’ve got a fence to build come morning…”

[V] “You’ll get to spend more time with Miss Posie!”

[P] “...Already regretting this… Ugh, c’mon…”

[SFX: The two of them heading off in the ambiance of summer, chatting about everything and nothing]

[To be continued <3]
