Springtime Shenanigans
[A - Late May]
It's a well known fact that there's a criminal at large. One Sirius Black has been on the run for a year now, and no one seems any closer to catching this dangerous criminal. Surprisingly he hasn't resumed his criminal dealings, which is to say there's been no murders attributed to him (okay, he's a suspect in a few but only because someone needs to be seen doing something). But needless to say, he's still at large and there are warrants issued for his arrest, as well as flyers and posters around with the information on who to contact if you see him.
Those, however, seem to be disappearing at an alarming rate and it's hard to say how. Some have seen a hooded individual tearing off the posters, possibly someone going after the reward? Others have a stranger story, of a large black dog ripping them down. Needless to say, the conflict has reached something of a stalemate.
For his part, Sirius has a large pile of posters that he's trying to decide whether to burn them or recycle them.
(ooc: Sirius can be encountered as a human, dog, or in the process of making this decision.)
[B - Early June]
The Vampire defence classes sound interesting, and useful. Most of his encounters with vampires lately have been amiable or ended with him escaping by the skin of his teeth. As a result, he probably should have some better strategies, just in case. However, he can't exactly waltz into those classes, since that would likely just end badly. Very badly, the more he thinks about it. Mostly for him.
Obviously the only answer is to sneak in. But how? The dog disguise usually works, but he's not confident this time given the location. Someone's bound to notice him.
"What are my options here?" he mutters to himself, trying to make it seem like he's just out for a walk.
[C - Wildcard]
Got another idea? Go for it! Want something specific? Let me know and I can set up a thread!

Given how dangerous the guy on the posters is meant to be he should maybe sound a little more worried than excited. He is interested though. Not because of the reward itself so much, but helping catch a dangerous criminal? That sounds pretty cool.
no subject
Not to be blowing his own horn or anything. Except that he totally is.
no subject
"If he's so sneaky you wouldn't have seen him more than once. It's kind of a miracle he hasn't been caught yet if he's really that lax."
Mostly he just doesn't believe the guy's actually seen him though. He must be trying to make himself sound more impressive.
no subject
It's true that he has had more than his fair share of encounters, including a few that have forced him to lay low. Not that he's going to mention any of that.
"You never know what you can find in this city."
no subject
"You can say that again."
no subject
But leaving well enough alone was not something he'd ever been good at.
"Seen some things?"
no subject
If Oliver were smarter he wouldn't be talking, but it's not like he really plans to tell the guy anything. Everything else about his life is so normal. Any opportunity to hint otherwise, make himself seem more interesting isn't something he likes to turn down.
no subject
There's always the temptation to shift in front of people, scare them. He has gotten away with a werewolf disguise before. But that would just be a bad idea, all things considered.
no subject
"Besides, I bet it's nowhere near as exciting as being a magnet for dangerous criminals."
He glances over, trying to get a better look beneath the hood. It is kind of weird for the time of year, especially for someone out of their teens.
no subject
Sirius draws back into his hood, turning away only slightly.
no subject
"I guess not. You okay?"
