New OPThis was originally a Roll to Dodge that eventually got abandoned, until CoolRune revived it in a post that detailed his sadness over the thread dying in a roleplay style (see first link). It eventually developed, and I made a prompt that caused this to evolve into what this is now. (see second link).
Three rules only:
1) Adhere to the laws of physics/thermodynamics/etc.
2) Post in a RP style.
The wolf thanks KHH, and then examines the trainwreck
3) Have fun, but don't try to kill everyone immediately, or try to kill someone without them having a chance to respond.
