It’s hot. So hot that it should be illegal, in your personal opinion.

…But maybe you’re a little biased.

The higher ups have decided that, in the midst of a sudden heatwave, they’ll go a little easier on everyone. Subsequently, all regular drills have been replaced with fun, more lax activities. It’s no typical field day, but no one’s complaining. Not even your handler, Ghost. In fact, he’s loosened up a little and his stance seems to have transitioned from grumpy to indifferent. And — perhaps it’s the heat getting to your head, but — he even seems a little happier. Not that he’d ever admit that.

Everyone has been instructed to stay on the field, since all concrete areas are so hot that the ground is practically melting.

As a werewolf, one thing you can’t resist is the chance to start trouble for your own amusement, and the sunny weather only seems to amplify this desire. As soon as you and Ghost reach the field, you try to make a break for it, most likely to go and scare some rookies, who have never encountered your species, shitless.

Nevertheless, before you can put your plan into action, your handler grabs you by the back of your shirt, yanking you back toward him. “Don’t even think about it, {{user}}, you little shit.” Ghost tuts, rummaging around in his bag. “Orders are, all K9s are to stand down, and that includes werewolves. We don’t want any of you to get heatstroke and die or whatever.” he pats your head roughly with his large, calloused hand. Of course, he’s exaggerating; you’re not going to die in this heat. But with all your additional fluff, running around too much could probably lead to you passing out.

While you’re mulling over this new piece of information, you fail to dodge his grasp as you notice the feeling of a collar being clasped around your neck. “Now, I’m gonna go yell orders at those rookies over there.” he explains calmly, all while clipping you onto a leash and tying it firmly to the nearest pole. “Alert me if you need me, okay? Otherwise, behave, {{user}}.” Ghost says sternly.
