Well, it's not like there are many beings around that are neither human nor have some kind of Wyrm taint on them, he should probably try to at least try and make an ally out of this guy.
"Bob.
What are you?" He's always been a bit on the blunt side, okay.
"Not human." He shrugs, the gesture a bit exaggerated because it is one of those parts of human body language that he found useful and adopted but needs to think about consciously to do. "And not one of the creatures out on the streets, either." He could be more specific, but while he doesn't know whom he's talking to...
"Yeah, what are those?" Phillip turns and moves towards the window, looking out at the streets. "I have never seen anything like that." Which is probably not surprising considering that monsters aren't really a thing in his universe, but.
"Me neither." He's seen other monsters, but none of them resembled what is walking around out there closely enough to say that it was the same. "Not before coming here. They aren't animals, though." He's had a disagreement about that one before. But if they were animals, he should be able to at least do very basic communication with them. He can't. "Maybe they once where, but if they were, they're very far from it now."
"Huh." That's weird and confusing and Phillip doesn't much like it. "Well, they probably didn't drag us here, and I'm pretty sure it's not a thing either of us did on purpose. So there has to be something else around, right?"
"Apparently there's people that can only be reached through the mobile phones that might be responsible. I've been trying to track them down, but they're really hard to find."
They could be anywhere, is the other problem. In one of the other cities, in an underground bunker in the forest...
"Guessing that means you don't have their number, then." That would be way too easy. "You found anything that might narrow it down?" Because, yeah, there's a lot of space out here.
"They are here sometimes, but if they are here all the time, they are staying underground."
That's as much as he has, and he feels like it is as much, if not more, than everyone else has. Which means that there really is precious little out about them "There's at least three of them, one of them a bitch."
"Oh good. Dealing with bitchy people is the best," he says sarcastically, as if he couldn't be a bitchy person himself at all. Nope. Not him. "Have you talked to them? Did they drop any hints at all?" Like why. He would like to know why.
"It's only different because humans have hang-ups and deal differently with sires and bitches." And all the people attached to their way of thinking follow suit. "I didn't keep the mobile phone, but from what I've heard, no. They only try to give orders."
"People tend to do things specifically because they're ordered not to at times." And he's wondering if that wasn't the purpose of the order.
...Nobody trusting the scientists, and the scientists not actually saying why everyone was supposed to stay in, certainly didn't help with complying, either, and they must've known that.
As there are in the city, he realizes that - they just roam all over the place here, in numbers that make it pretty impossible to bring down their numbers a peg, so everyone has stopped trying - so he adds: "More, and better hidden than in the city."
Yeah, he'd been about to ask about that. He's still considering just heading out in the forest himself... or he would, if he were better at nature like, at all. But he has some very negative feelings about that. "I see. Are there useful things out there, though?"
"There are animals, but their meat is as dirty." As dirty as that of a human would be, and that is disturbing. Animals usually carry a lot less toxins in them if they live in the wild, or that is at least what his experience from home tells him.
"It's not the city." He goes there for that feeling alone.
...That is the kind of answer he was worried about, yes. "I guess I'll need to ask other people, then," he mutters, more to himself. He's really hoping it's just not an issue. "How many people are here? Do you know?"
"About," give him a moment, he needs to shift really far into human-thought for this, "...fifty." Maybe. Enough for multiple packs and more than could ever be in one, if they were wolves, but no more than could be found attached to a single sept if they were werewolves. That's fifty.

If he's being entirely honest, he doesn't know, and isn't how sure if he wants to find out. But this guy doesn't need to know that just yet.

Or he wouldn't be here.
