This this thought just crossed my mind.

Lately everything has been greeted with 'Oh for fuck's sake' and since everything is dealing with building works with lots of loud noises and crashing it is very like a giant motherfucking werewolf has ripped apart my flat. In fact I kind of wonder about that builder with the predatory smile. Werewolf? Who knows...

[cluegirl.livejournal.com]

a) freeze like a rabbit, beyond even the mental capacity for words, or b) get my head bitten off like a chocolate easter rabbit whilst scrabbling for some kind of weapon. I don't think there would be a scream though. Most definitely not words. A gasp, at best.

[seph-ski.livejournal.com]

I really wanted to vote for the 3rd or 4th option, but realistically, #1 is most likely.

[spross.livejournal.com]

I'd love to claim I'd do the last one, but truthfully, based on past experiences, I'd have to say "Scream like a girl." :-(

[catconley.livejournal.com]

I picked option #4 for my *very* last moment, but must admit that my next-to-last moment(s) would probably include wetting my sleeping bag and possibly vomiting. Mass exodus of bodily fluids for sure.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

It was super hard to decide between options two and three. I imagine though, brevity will win out though. That and I swear way too much sometimes.

[thecoughlin.livejournal.com]

There would be a #2/#4 sequence, and generally use plain old "fucker" when inviting someone to dance, so there would likely be time for both.

Flight didn't work for me early in life, so I only have the fight circuit left. Gets me fired a lot.

[shanejayell.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie, Scream like a girl. *lol*

[gallifreyangoth]

I would like to think I'd say #4, but I would probably scream "Fuck!" like a girl. In my head, though, that logical voice of mine would totally be going, "A werewolf? Really? Really?"

[livia-llewellyn.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I think I would just say: "Yes." And then open my arms.

[gairid.livejournal.com]

I know I'd just say 'Oh, fuck's sake.' which is what I say in many situations---I imagine that my disbelief would subdue my otherwise scream like a girl reaction.

[stillsostrange.livejournal.com]

The likelihood of me being mauled to death by a large animal is already high (due to a poorly developed self preservation/common sense mechanism) and I'm pretty sure my last words will be something like "Aww, look at the fuzzy tummy!"

I will never claim this death is not my own damn fault.

[vrykolakes.livejournal.com]

I'd wonder how my ex-girlfriend managed to find me.

[theninth.livejournal.com]

Sadly, death by werewolf would not surprise me that much. It would be kind of fitting, considering the only stories I've ever sold are about werewolves.

[thefemaleknight.livejournal.com]

I would scream like a little baby and probably wet myself. :(

[wolfsilveroak.livejournal.com]

Number 3. The same damn thing I said to my PS3 game (Assassin's Creed II) every time the damn fool jumped the opposite direction I wanted him to.

[grymnir.livejournal.com]

Wait! I have fleas!

[cucumberseed.livejournal.com]

Though, only in my head. What the werewolf would hear is just the "whuff" of air going out of my lungs with maybe a little strangled half-cry that would probably be an essay to the "fuck" or "shit" territory.

RE: GirlyScream/DefiantShout

[wolven.livejournal.com]

It can always be both.

[r-darkstorm.livejournal.com]

I would love to claim I wouldn't scream like a girl, but I let out hideously girlish shrieks at the sight of the common household spider. I cannot imagine being braver when confronted with a werewolf.

"There, wolf."

[martianmooncrab.livejournal.com]

make sure that the wuffie also gets to eat the tire iron, the car jack, and anything else I will shove at them.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Knowing me, I'd say Fuck!

[sovay]

I don't think I've ever screamed in shock. I'm pretty sure I can do a good line in resigned incredulity right now, though.

[mojave-wolf.livejournal.com]

Combination "oh fuck" and "let's dance", cause really, toss-up. Have been in comparable situations (sans the supernatural element) and have said both (yes, I know you said "going to die" and I'm still here, but thought death was almost certain, yes, been there, including in immediate physical confrontation, during which my reaction was more the latter, tho when I thought I was dead from other circumstances, it was morer the former, at least initially, so), more or less, so who knows which. Most likely the former followed by the latter, assuming I had time to feel the calm sweep over me.

[muse-books.livejournal.com]

Like many I wish I could be cooler but know that in reality it would be #1.

[bellarabesques.livejournal.com]

The flattest and most milksop "Shit" ever uttered.

[kathryn-aka-kat.livejournal.com]

I picked the "scream" though it would be all in my head.

Is this just idle curiousity or what? And which do you think you'd do?

"You have got to be fucking kidding me."

[jtglover.livejournal.com]

But also: If I'm going to die, and the agent of my death is right in front of me, I'm going to try to take a bite out of the motherfucker before going down.

[from-ashes.livejournal.com]

I think I'd actually be a combination of choice 2 and 3. But I know I'd curse a lot. Because that's what I normally do anytime something happens outside of my expectations.

[farklebarkle.livejournal.com]

Based on past traumatic experiences, I believe my reaction would be to yell, "Oh shit! What the fuck? What the fuck? What the fuck?"

[clockworkwasp.livejournal.com]

Because really, on top of everything else right now a fucking WEREWOLF. Last time I woke up in the road having been hit by a car for the second time at the tender age of 14 my first words were "oh not this shit again".

[lady-tigerfish.livejournal.com]

You get me terrified enough, and I loop right back around to furious. Particularly in a situation where I'd be that powerless.

[fornikate.livejournal.com]

i would say 'deep down i always knew it would end this way' after i said #3.

[rexallen.livejournal.com]

I knew I shoulda taken that left turn at Albuquerque...

[joshrupp.livejournal.com]

Defiantly cry out, "Let's dance!" then push whoever's in the van with me at the werewolf.

[v1ewfr0mbugtown.livejournal.com]

In all honesty? #1 and #3 at the same time.

[stsisyphus.livejournal.com]

Depends on how much time I have before it charges.
1-3 seconds: React as in #2.
4-10 seconds: Sigh, take a breath. Look around for something to shove down it's craw, not find anything. Try to run.
10-15 seconds: Consider that running isn't going to work, hope it goes for the kill shot quickly.
15-30 seconds: find my st. christopher medal, swallow it. It's on a silver chain - which is going to make me the worst fucking meal it's had in a long fucking time.

30+ seconds: Start casting spells and telling jokes. 'cause if there's a werewolf in front of me, there's enough magic in the world for me to hex the living fucking shit out of it.

[ide-cyan.livejournal.com]

Could be any of the above. Though I don't really scream unless I'm startled, and the side of the van getting ripped open would get get the adrenaline going and get me over that by the time I saw the werewolf, which'd likely be met with a large dose of "Whuh? How'd that happen IRL)?" bafflement or curses.

The #4ish option -- wildly optimistically -- might happen if my former-huge-dog-owner filter kicks in, and I shout at it to shut the hell up and then try my luck establishing physical dominance.

[vidyarajah.livejournal.com]

In the reality I envision this scenario most likely occurring in, I'd proceed to shapeshift into...my true form...and summarily devour the poor thing.

My default conditioning is Always Attack. Always.
It's not a "macho thing", I'm just a poor victim, really...and I'm quite good at violence.

Chalk it up to a very lousy childhood. :-/
