In Wolf's Clothing
A town has hired the crew to spice up its Halloween festivities, but there's a problem—the costumes of the townspeople are so good, the crew worry their own costumes are inadequate. To solve this, Wulf will go as himself, but to others it'll look like he's wearing an authentic werewolf costume. He invites Renie, seeing this as a chance for her to bond with the crew. She refuses at first but slowly comes around.
Halloween is approaching, and a lupine figure busies himself carrying cargo from the Grandcypher's deck to its storage hold.
Wulf: There. That's the last of it.
Wulf: The crew members won't be able to enjoy their little holiday without these important supplies.
Wulf and Renie is a crew member
The crew had been stocking up on loads of Halloween essentials.
Wulf happened to be passing by, and when he saw how much they'd bought, he volunteered to help carry everything.
Wulf and Renie not in crew
The werewolf wipes the sweat from his brow. His name is Wulf.
He used to live in a forest with a little girl named Renie.
Unfortunately, conditions on their island turned against them, and the pair could no longer safely remain in the forest.
(Captain) and company happened to be on the same island for a mission. They offered to let Wulf and Renie come aboard.
And so the mismatched duo travel with the crew while searching for a quiet place to call home. Wulf lends the crew a hand when he can.
Wulf: (Captain), all the cargo is—
Wulf: Hm? Looks like something is amiss...
When Wulf steps out onto the deck, he sees (Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn huddled in a serious meeting.
Lyria: Hm... How should we handle this?
Vyrn: Who knew the island was already in full Halloween mode.
Lyria: Yeah... It's like the entire town is swarming with monsters. The makeup makes them look so real.
Vyrn: We're gonna need to rethink our plans now that we know what we're up against.
Lyria: Sigh... We haven't even started yet, and we've got problems. Siero trusted us with this job though.
Vyrn: Yep. How're we supposed to jazz up this town's Halloween even more than it already is?
(Captain) and Lyria both nod in agreement with Vyrn.
Wulf: I see. So that's what those costumes and supplies I put away are for.
Lyria: Oh! Hi, Wulf!
Wulf: Sorry. I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
Wulf: Are you worried that your costumes aren't up to the task?
Lyria: Yes. It looks like the people of this island take Halloween very seriously.
Lyria and Vyrn tell Wulf what they saw while they were shopping in town.
Wulf: Halloween isn't even here yet, and people have already put up decorations and donned their costumes. What a strange bunch.
Vyrn: So every year, crews like ours are hired to kick the festivities into high gear.
Wulf: But from what you've told me, what's adequate for the islanders isn't good enough coming from outsiders. They expect better.
Wulf: I think I can help you with your problem.
Lyria: What do you mean?
Wulf: Don't I naturally have the perfect costume?
Wulf: Dressing up as a werewolf is a popular choice from what I've seen on other islands.
Vyrn: Oh yeah! We saw plenty of people wearing wolf masks!
Lyria: I think it just might work!
Lyria: Oh, but do you think Renie will join us too?
Vyrn: Good question. That girl always stays in her room during any holiday season. Still, we should probably at least ask, right?
Lyria: Hm... Probably...
Wulf: I'll try to convince her to come with us, if that's okay.
Vyrn: Whoa! You sure 'bout that?
Wulf: Renie's getting used to life on the ship. It's not much, but it's a start.
Wulf: She's a hard girl to understand because she keeps to herself.
Vyrn: Hm, she barely says anything whenever we manage to catch a glimpse of her.
Wulf: Which is why I think this is the opportune time for her to get to know everyone.
Wulf: I can walk around in public without drawing attention under the pretext of Halloween. No one will question why she's with me.
Wulf: Renie isn't going to suddenly open up to you, but as long as I'm there, she might find it easier to talk.
Lyria: Yay! Halloween with Renie sounds like so much fun!
Vyrn: Hehe, you've been wanting to hang out with Renie for ages.
Wulf: I hope she starts to feel the same way about you people too.
Choose: I'm happy to hang out with Wulf too.
Wulf: What an interesting captain.
Wulf: Ah, I don't mean that in a bad way. Thank you, (Captain).

Vyrn: Those townspeople are gonna wet their pants when they see Wulf!
Lyria: Uh-huh! There's nothing realer than an actual werewolf!
Wulf: I'll try not to disappoint. Anyway, I'll go talk to Renie.
Lyria: Okay! Oh, and thanks for carrying everything to storage!
Wulf: Think of it as a small favor for all the hospitality you've shown us.
Wulf waves goodbye and goes to Renie's room.
Renie: I don't wanna.
Wulf: Renie...
Wulf tells Renie about the event in town, but she shuts him down with a firm no.
Wulf: This island is a burgeoning place that's much bigger than our old one. What's the harm in some sightseeing?
Renie: A town is still a town. The only difference is how many people live in it.
Renie: Besides, I can see all the Halloween stuff from the deck. Why do I need to leave the ship?
Wulf: Well, that's true, but considering how this town celebrates Halloween, I'll be able to go into town too.
Renie: Really?
Wulf: According to Lyria and the others, the islanders put a lot of effort into their costumes. In fact they're already wearing them.
Wulf: I should have no trouble blending in. No one will suspect I'm a real werewolf.
Wulf: Think about it. How often do we get to stroll through a town without incident?
Renie: ...
Renie: Why do you need to help the crew with their job then? You and I could just go by ourselves.
Renie: Being with the crew means they'll have to talk to other people.
Renie: We'll get caught.
Wulf: That could happen, yes.
Renie: Right, so...
Wulf: But what about the things they've done for us?
Wulf: (Captain) and the others took us in and gave us shelter.
Wulf: We're still together because of them. (Captain) saved you.
Wulf: The least you can do is show a little appreciation.
Renie: I know what you're trying to say, but...
Renie: Sigh... Let me think about it.
Wulf: All right. There's still time before Halloween. Sleep on it.
Wulf: Anyway, you must be hungry. Shall we go to the mess hall?
Renie: Okay.
Wulf: I just lugged bags of Halloween candy there too. I'm sure you could grab some treats.
Renie: Candy! Did they really buy that much?
Wulf: You won't believe your eyes. Sure, most of it is for the job, but I assume they bought enough for the whole crew to enjoy as well.
Renie: Is Halloween that fun?
Wulf: I wouldn't know. I've only heard of the holiday.
Wulf: Although I've never participated in the activities, that doesn't mean I hate the taste of sweets.
Renie: I... also don't hate Halloween sweets.
Renie: Hey, Wulf?
Wulf: Yes?
Renie: What if I did go into town? What kind of costume would look good on me?
Wulf: Renie!
Renie: I said, "what if." How can you invite me without even thinking about my costume?
Wulf: S-sorry...
Renie: We can't walk around looking like we normally do, even if it is Halloween.
Renie: And it'll look weird if you're dressed up and I'm not.
Wulf: I can't argue with that logic. The thought never even occurred to me.
Wulf: How about we brainstorm a few costume ideas?
Renie: Okay.
Renie gives a small nod and takes his paw as if to signal she's ready to go get some food.
Wulf nods back without a word, and they leave the room in a cheerier mood than usual.
