Zombie Outbreak in Texas!!!

Hail Survivors!

I recently received a very grave -no pun intended- warning from Survivor Miles who I believe may be located in or near Texas. Survivor Miles recently survived a vicious zombie attack, armed with only his wits and hedge clippers. His parents unfortunately were not so lucky.

Werewolves: You May Be Dealing With A Werewolf

werewolvesDanger-werewolves

1. Contrary to popular opinion, werewolves and vampires can be friends under the right circumstances. So ask yourself, are these the right circumstances? If the answer is no and you are a vampire or you are with a vampire? Time to run.

2. Silver. Real silver: bullets and accessories. A silver chain makes a nice belt and werewolf lead. NOTE: if it’s not real silver, it will just turn him green. A green werewolf is even more dangerous than one that is not green.

3. Look werewolf directly in the eye and growl in your best pack-leader voice, “SIT!” WARNING – This tip from Hollywood Dog Trainer Cesar Milan is controversial, indeed completely unsubstantiated. If your voice is not firm enough in the heat of werewolf battle, there is the risk you will just make him madder.

4. Got a muffin on you? Get it out, fast. Nothing makes a werewolf happier than a warm, fluffy muffin. Be prepared, download my proven fluffy anti-lycan muffin recipe.

5. If you have been or suspect that you have been bitten by a werewolf despite taking all precautionary measures, then you need 10 gallons of colloidal silver water *STAT*. I would advise that you make your own, it’s just cheaper. All you need is a battery, silver wire, a piece of real silverware or jewelry, and a gallon of water.

If you don’t have time to make your own colloidal silver water, gather up all the silverware in the house and toss it into a hot tub. Soak your whole body – not just the bite – in the tub for one hour. This should be long enough for the silver ions to penetrate your epidermis.

6. If you can’t beat them –  survive. When you get out of the tub, contact the other survivors at SOS for more advice. Life as a werewolf can actually be pretty good!

~~~ If  The Werewolf Is YOU! ~~~

As you may already know, current pathogenic research distinguishes acquired lycanthropy or “bitten werewolves” from genetic lycanthropic tendencies. So the first question to ask yourself is, are any of your parents or siblings werewolves?  Has there been a resurgence of ancestral threats i.e.: vampires in your community? There are many genetic werewolves on this site who know more than I do about this. You can read their comments below.

However if this is a bitten case, acquired lycanthropy will generally manifest by the next full moon or within a maximum of 28 days, according to the stages outlined below. Your first transformation is a very dangerous time – most new werewolves will not survive. So don’t be caught unprepared, read the advice and comments below.

In Stage I you will have a cut or wound that won’t heal normally and that you can’t exactly remember how you got it. Anecdotal reports indicate that dousing the wound with a simple colloidal silver solution from a health food store within 24 hours of infection could actually prevent the lycanthropic mutagens from spreading to your stem cells. If 24 hours has passed, you will notice your immune system begins to work overtime. This will look like a very severe cold. Are you suddenly sweaty for no apparent reason? You will spike a unaturally high fever, maybe even over 100 degrees according to some reports. You can try Tylenol but it won’t help this fever. You may vomit. Your friends and family will try to take you to the hospital but this is not advisable as Area 51 has doctors in every one. This stage is said to last for three to five days, depending on the phase of the moon.

In Stage II you will recover from this “cold” very very quickly and the bite mark will heal too. There is debate about whether it heals completely or leaves a telltale scar or “mark.” Maybe it depends to some extent on the size of the bite, this is unknown. If it does leave a mark, this is rumoured to serve as a sign to others re: pack affiliation. During this phase you will be almost supernaturally resistant to the cold, tempted to go outside without a coat or even a shirt. This is also not advisable. Especially if you are a girl. I’m just saying. You may have a sudden and inexplicable urge to run everywhere and yet never tire on arrival. You may try to lift heavy things for no other reason than to see if you can. Your sense of smell and hearing becomes acute - you may find you are able to identify people by odor or the sound of their footsteps even in very crowded rooms. Stage II should last another five days, again depending on the phase of the moon.

Stage III is the stage everyone thinks of when it comes to werewolves. The nails grow. And grow and grow. Did I mention that they grow? The hair grows too. The voice changes to a growl. And then there’s the anger! Being a werewolf is angry business. Even formally good-tempered beings find it impossible to not react when the flow of adrenaline-fueled anger begins coursing through their veins and their human side tries to rationalize it by pinning the reason on somebody else. So it’s very important during stage three to remind yourself that it’s NOT actually that #$%-ing clerk or that *&*^#& teacher or even that little brother – okay maybe it is that little brother – but NO!  It’s just your body adapting to the increased adrenaline load that comes with becoming a werewolf. This stage lasts until the full moon.

Stage IV, full moon fever. Regardless of how you got it, inherited or acquired, the final phase and your first transformation begins the day before the full moon. Don’t remain stuck in denial. Get to work building that secure werewolf crib, complete with silver bars on the windows, a lock on the door and a stash of muffins on the bed. Actually scratch the muffins. I have since learned the muffins work on werewolves in human form. For the full moon, it’s all about the meat! As much as you can fit under the bed. No time to build a crib? There are reports of werewolves renting moving trucks and box cars and driving into the middle of the desert. Of course you’ll need a friend you can trust to lock you in!

And read on! There’s lots more advice, stories and tips below from other werewolves like you!

For more specific info about different kinds of werewolves, visit YourLupineLife.com.

You can also download a free app for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad made especially for werewolves called Lupine Life made by my friends over at YourLupine Life.com, It will help you find out what kind of moon you were born under and what type of werewolf you might be. It also has a handy full moon tracker that let’s you find the phase of the moon for any date over a 200 year range.

  • mrjaffa

    Yay going to a bending tournament again, got an exclusive invite. its addressed to me from a lady called morganna. what should i do? *snaps fingers* wings? *snaps fingers* no wings? *snaps fingers* should i wear a suit? *snaps fingers* or go casual?

  • Wereboy

    Seth, hi I’m a werewolf, I usually don’t blurt my secret out like this I only tell people I trust, but you sound like someone I could trust. I really need your advice, this Halloween me and my friend are going out trick-o-treating and this Halloween is a 100% full moon, we have the whole thing planned and my parents are going away that week, there’s no way I cant stop us from going! Seth, please answer me ASAP!

    • Ice

      Hail Wereboy, I’m not Seth but I know a thing or two. So to stop from transforming there are two tried and true methods. One is to weigh yourself down with silver. Silver earings, silver necklace, silver boots, anything silver. The other method is to lip off a hand or foot. Yeah I know your going WTF?!! This method cures ww permanently. However the foot or hand must be cut off while in morf. So really ignore option two just go with option one.

      • Hail Ice,

        Thanks for keeping on and being the first to help out a new survivor. Okay but I just have one small question for you. Just because I’m not sure I ever heard that before. Are you saying you can cure lycanthropy permanently by gnawing off a hand or foot? And do you mean to gnaw it off in wolf form, thus causing a transformation back to human form? Or by gnawing it off in human form?

        Have you double checked this fact with the Wheelchair Werewolves? Do you know somebody this happened to?

        Seth

        • Ice

          I am citeing the source of Gervase of Tilbury (one of Mutts many moniquers) it tells the story of a carpenter who managed to lop off one of a werewolfs paws which cured said werewolf.

    • P5t5r

      Ice gives good advice but if you can’t get ahold of enough silver you may want to tell your friend, but only if he or she can be trusted. Once you tell them they can help you make a werewolf crib to last you the night and make plans for future full moons.

  • rogan101

    morganna?!?!r u crazy?!?!do u even no who morganna is?she’s an evil sorceress!DONT.GO.2.THE. TOURNAMENT.(unless u r angry at urself and want 2 commit suicide or ur mentally confused)

    • mrjaffa

      Don’t tell me what to do. I’m going.

    • Hail Mr. Jaffa,

      Rogan’s advice here seems pretty sound for today Mr. J. You know the THIRD FRIDAY THE 13th and all?

      I don’t have to tell you that the name for FRIDAY comes from the the name FREYA the original Norse goddess-witch. And the number three being especially magical, even you might wish to avoid any magical tournament today. (Especially if it’s on a lake.)

      Exactly what magical events do you expect to participate in?

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

      • mrjaffa

        its in aus and for us, friday the thirteenth was yesterday. anyway, as i said its a bending tournament, in which the goal is to make the other oppenent surrender using only bending, andim using firebending.

        • Hail Mr. J.

          Well if your tourney is on the side of the world that already survived the 3rd 13th then what can go wrong? I mean besides everything?

          Well let us know how it goes and don’t get bent out of shape. Is this a spectator sport? What sort of facility is used for this tournament? Or is it one of those side-of-the-mountain kind of sports?

          Just asking so survivors can plan their nights around it…

          Seth

  • rogan101

    hey…i learned who Artemis’s dad is…please don’t scream at me but…she said his name is Bartholomew…but every1 calls him…King of Werewolfs…

  • Wereboy

    What if my friend can’t be trusted and I don’t have any silver on hand?

  • Agharna Phellan

    Pain and suffering is what I wish upon all of you.

  • Wereboy

    I don’t know a place where I can get any herbs and my friend can’t be trusted. Is there anything else I can possibley Do?

  • Wereboy

    They would just have my friend get me the candy and I stay in the car, I guess that I’m kinda doomed if theres no good answer for me. Unless anybody can possibley think of another answer.

  • Wereboy

    Halloween is really close where I live! (I can’t tell you because of the rules)

  • Wereboy

    In a few days!

  • Wereboy

    Woops wrong word in a month! Srry!

  • Wereboy

    That true but that would be hard to do

  • Wereboy

    It’s august 1st on a wednesday

  • rogan101

    artemis…i will come back tomorrow…i will come back soon…goodby my love… :grin: ;-) :smile:

  • Matt

    :( Wolf Princess… I just want to at least be friends… :(

  • Wereboy

    I’m doomed! My secret will be loose! I’m only XX there’s nothing I can do! My mom is a werewolf so I’m a pure blood, she went away for the week on vacation and she forgot it was a full moon on Halloween.

    • Hail Wereboy,

      Thanks for checking into the site and disclosing your secret. As you can see you are in good company here and I would like to endorse their advice. Well except maybe Ice’s gnawing off your own hand thing . It’s a little extreme. And anyway, does he mean gnawing off your paw in wolf form? Or your hand in human form? I’ll have to ask him. Because I think if you get caught gnawing off your hand, you are going to end up in a worse place than you would by disclosing your secret. But the silver piercing? That’s good advice. And the herbs? It’s controversial but if you can get your hands on some dried wolfsbane and burn it on the full moon, it is supposed to work.

      Apart from that? I will always vote with P5t5r on building a secure werewolf containment facility. If your friend is really your friend he will likely understand and appreciate that you are taking steps to not accidentally rip him apart on your first transformation.

      But if as you say, he can’t be trusted, you might want to scan him. He could be a vampire trying to trap you…

      Is this in fact your first transformation? And what about your mom, does she take off every full moon? Have you ever followed her to see how she handles it?

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

  • Wereboy

    Yay Seth, she goes away every full moon, I found out that I can trust my friend and today we built a crib in his basement, no one goes down there so I’m good. He promised not to tell anyone and he would also make me fresh muffins too! Yum!

    • Alex

      Good for you, if only I was that lucky… My friend didn’t last long :cry:

      • Hail Alex,

        Is this a confession? I had no idea. Are you telling us that on your first transformation you attacked your friend? Did you go back and try to find his body the next day? Was it there?

        Alex do you realize what this means? You may have a lycan acolyte from your past life running around….

        Seth

    • Hail Wereboy,

      Thanks for the update. That is indeed good news. Keep on with the responsible lycanthropy. If you can trust your friend, he can lock you in on the full moon.

      Keep us posted. Survivors here can give you lots more great full-moon tips. As you probably know, there’s a blue moon in August and there’s going to be lots of strange things happening around here.

      Just remember though, never any real names, real locations or ages on the site. That’s how we all survive together.

      Seth

  • Wereboy

    Well tell his parents we forgot something and we will go back he will go back and say I felt sick so I don’t have to sit in the car and I’ll be at there house in the crib with plenty of meat and loose clothing on.

  • Wereboy

    Ok , thank you Seth, I told my mom about what me and my friend did and she said for the blue moon that week we are going to our uncles house, he lives in the woods, also a werewolf, there’s no one else out there So we can run loose, my mom dose every blue moon and I stay with my dad and I go in my crib.

  • Raven

    Greetings Wereboy. I’m glad that you have come to SOS for tips on survival. Although I have no great tips like the ones before me, all I can say is keep on keeping on. To Seth– I’m going camping today and we”re in Colorado we are going into the woods. What happens if Jaffa’s spell turns me tonight? Ive been feeling wolf and dreaming wolf. Ill have no WiFi so I cant post. Any advice? Ot has to be quick cause we’re going today and staying till tomorrow afternoon. So if I don’t get any advice, I’m happy I let you know just in case I don’t reply by Tuesday come looking for me anyone who is in the Colorado area. Keep me in your prayers. Your friend (hopefully) Raven.

  • Wereboy

    Good luck raven, I’ll keep thinking about your safety!

  • Midnight

    Hey it’s me wereboy I just have a different user name, I’m a werewolf that can change at anytime but I can’t control it at the full moon. I need advice, because I am showing signs that I am a werewolf. Like constant howling, pacing, sniffing, growling, and you don’t want to know what the other thing is, but I don’t know how to stop!, I don’t want to blow my cover but I can’t stop! Please help me! :???:

  • Midnight

    Does anybody know what to do about my problem?

  • Midnight

    My mom is a werewolf ice and she has me learn this all by my self unless I get help, the only other werewolf I know is my

  • Midnight

    Uncle and he lives far away and my best friend is a vampire so that’s not helpful!, I could ask my teacher, he teaches “special” kids. This is the only way I can learn anything so anyone who gives me advice is a worthy friend, like you Ice, is it possible you can give me more advice ice?

    • Ice

      I’m a completely different species, all I know about werewolves is what I’ve heard, and what I’ve heard is that they are adreniline filled, hardly containable, and reckless. You need to focus, and to attempt to control yourself. That’s the only advice I can give, in this world it’s learn fast, or right your will.

      • Hail Ice & Midnight,

        Well you may not be a werewolf Ice but that was pretty good advice. The road to self-control is a long one for the lycan kind. (Almost as long as for humans.) Usually this is where the pack helps you. Each pack has its own different customs and habits that help. Does you mom belong to a pack? Is there an age at which you will join one in your family?

        You need to figure this part out because as I think I mentioned below, in addition to the human Area 51 agents there is also, I understand there is now a Paranormal Police Patrol (PPP) on the beat. You don’t want them showing up at your door with a cage.

        Seth

  • Akantha

    Hey guys, sorry I left without saying anything earlier but has anyone seen Rogan recently? I need to speak with him, soon.

  • Akantha

    Ugh! I’m outta time for now I’ll just leave a message Rogan: it’s the goddess Artemis your dealing with I don’t care what it takes leave her! Or you’ll have every god on Olympus at your throat , including me! AP: if your here and you torture the survivors on this site while I’m gone Zyboragons wrath will seem like a walk in the park compared to mine! :x no offense Z!

    • Agharna Phellan

      HOW DARE YOU THREATEN ME!!! :x

    • Hail Akantha,

      I think you may have just discovered the best way to summon AP. I’m not sure if I should thank you.

      So what’s the deal with you and Artemis again? Sorry for being out on this one – it’s hard to keep up with you godlings sometimes.

      Thanks for keeping on.

      Seth

    • Rogan101

      :cry: Help me… I…LOVE her…I…O GOD!!!!*man w toga and lightning bolt in hand attacks me.i get slashed across the eye*HEEELP!!!!! :shock:

  • Midnight

    Ok thank you ice.

  • Midnight

    We’re going out to dinner tonight I’ll try not to sniff my food!

  • dawn

    hey Seth.
    I’m a newborn werewolf I was bit a month ago. and I’m scared I’m going to bite a family member..what do I do!!!

  • Midnight

    Hey dawn, I’m not Seth, but I am a werewolf, not bit but born into it. Enough about me, about your problem, you have to build a crib, not a baby crib but a crib like a cage and cage of silver in your basement, if you don’t have a basement, tell someone you trust your secret and ask to use theres. Have plenty of pounds of meat near your crib so you can reach it in your werewolf state, did you get past your were cold already?, if your in your dormant state you might have signs of werewolf like sniffing, howling, and growling. Do any of your family members know about this? Seth may be human but he knows a lot about these races. If you need werewolf tips you can ask me too. Send me a message after you read this ok?

  • Midnight

    Also have you had a moon yet? Are you a werewolf that can change at anytime? (I am)

    • Avalon

      Hail Midnight, I’m not Seth nor am I Dawn but I know how you feel. I was bitten only 2 months ago and my first real transformation was only last month (real because I can also transform at will except on full moon nights). It sucked. My advice to you is to learn how to control yourself on a full moon. Seeing that you can transform at will this shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t overdo it though, you may not be able to turn human again after so many forced transformations. I hope this helps.

      P.S: How did you learn how to transform at will? Was it a natural skill or did you teach yourself?

    • dawn

      my family doesn’t know about this.. but my best friend does.ihave already chamged out of no where. I’ve made a cage of silver also. but my sister gets on my nerves ALOT. and I’m afraid I’m going to freak on her

      • Midnight

        Dawn, of she gets on your nerves lock the door will she tell your parents if she finds out? When it’s a full moon Wednesday 1 make sure no ones near u and meats there for you, ask me for more tips if you need it

        • dawn

          ok I’m starting to get scared. I almost changed tody in front of my family. my teeth and claws came through and I rushed upstairs and they ran after me. I slambed the door and wouldn’t go away. I jumped out the window and ran. I came back and I’m sitting in my room now. they want to take me to a doctor. what should I do

          • Midnight

            Oh no! Don’t go to a doctor or hospital! There’s area 51 doctors in every one! Ummmmmmm………. Tell them you had a bad thougt and you just need a moment and your fine and you just had a weird moment

            • dawn

              ok I think I should be good I told them what you told me and they thought nothing about it. I transformed last night and my sister was in the room but she was asleep. thank God! once I felt it happening, I jumped out the window and ran to my cave in my back yard (awesome huh?) I was like that all night though is that normal?

      • Hail Dawn,

        Thanks for your honest self-report here and for practicing responsible lycanthropy. It looks like you have been getting some good advice here from experienced survivors. If you already have a crib in your yard, that’s excellent. You might want to look into silver jewelry as well. I’m not advising you to go and get your lip or your bellybutton pierced but many lycanthropes here swear by it. If you already have pierced ears? Problem solved. Until you find your pack and learn their ways of self-control it will always be a struggle. And with two full moons in August well…. let’s just say you have a tough month ahead.

        My biggest question though is this. Have you had any contact from your biter? Usually a biter is obligated by pack law to maintain contact with you and help you through your first moon, on pain of death. Do you know who bit you?

        Thanks for keeping on keeping on.

        Seth

  • Midnight

    Avalon, thank you! Ice gave nice advice, but so did you, guess what? This one time I got so mad at my uncle (werewolf) because he wouldn’t let me come I transformed!, at home phew! Ok, no I did not learn it, my mom was a werewolf and I’m a pure blood because I’m her son.

    P.s. can I tell you some tips and some things that will help save your life?

    • Hail Midnight,

      Thanks for keeping on and for helping out another survivor. So true that family members are often the most affected by were-rage. How did your uncle react when you transformed in front of him? Do you think your uncle is a werewolf too? Were do you think he was going?

      I don’t need to tell you to be careful revealing your wolf form to those outside the pack. I’m sure you mom has warned you about the Paranormal Police…?

      Thanks for keeping on,

      Seth

    • Avalon

      I’m still here. Tips on keeping the secret… Ok, first off, I do NOT know where the silver baby crib idea came from but I can assure you that’s probably not going to be THAT useful. The simpliest way to deal with this is to keep your temper low and your wolf-instincts to a minimum. I you feel thatabsolute need to transform, run to the nearest forest or other wooded area and stay there until you calm down. Weighing yourself down with silver may damage your blood cells and could lead to haemorraging (I don’t know if I spelled that right) which is basically your blood vessels exploding, or organ failure so use that as a last resort. I hope this helps, Midnight.

    • Avalon

      Wait, are you asking for tips or offering me tips?
