Saph--But if she can't use thought-speech, then even if she's "broadcasting" her thoughts, it doesn't seem like it'd be able to be picked up by anyone other than some kind of mind reader.  Just because Andalites and Yeerks (only when in hosts) can "hear" thought-speech, which seems like a particular kind of mental ability, doesn't mean they can read people's minds or hear any other kind of mental broadcast.

Oh, yes. I made a Pete and Pete reference. Totally dating myself.

Haha, if it makes you feel any better, that reference made me very happy. :P Been a long time since I've seen one!

Pete...Pete's brother Pete...and Ellen.   :XD:

And yeah, that's not too far off from how I picture Reven XD  In the later episodes, at least.  And maybe with more freckles :D

Blinks.
Scratches head.
Opens mouth.
Blinks again.
Makes weird gurgly sound.
Closes mouth.
Blinks.

So....what does that mean? :P  ::)  What do you think?  She's your character...either she uses thought-speech, or she's a telepath in some other sense, or no one can hear her thoughts unless they have telepathic powers (which I believe no one does currently).

If you're going to have it be different, I'd say let it be a different kind of telepathy. The workings of thought speech is too ingrained in our minds for your confusing explanations.

XD I'm all too happy to drop it guys- she's a completely different character without 'em.
She dosen't have telepathic powers, so that's a HUGE no,
and since there are no, ah.. by your definition, Telepaths.. Then that's a no too.

I guess my problem was.. =/ I figured since they COULD Thought-speak, that MADE them telepaths. I mean.. That makes sense to me!! XD
But nah- It's getting tedious anyway. =P It's also hindering the RP- I type faster without it.
Considder it an attempt at standing on top of the box, instead of just outside it. XD

((Basically, she thought we were all like Leerans, while we thought she was like an Andalite. :P ))

Hope you don't mind some attention. =P

Haha... oddly, no, I don't mind attention :P

Salem is, in fact, human, though he's not from the Animorphs universe originally. As for the clicky thingy- he sort of explained it to Mar a little while ago.

He glanced down at his device. "I'm growing to like this thing. Snagged it off a Skrit Na trader a few years back. It's not taking pictures of what things look like. It's taking pictures of what they are. Sort of a composite of the mental, emotional and spiritual projections of a being, laid out as cold hard data. For example," he continued, "I should be able to tell who's a Yeerk, since they contain multiple distinct beings. I already know what an Andalite looks like, which makes finding a morphed one a little easier; not that I've ever really thought about using it for that until getting here. I can see ties and nuances that people may not even realize they have." He smiled sheepishly. "I actually have no idea how to interpret most of it, but it's still interesting stuff.

Basically it just takes pictures of a person's... aura, I guess you'd call it. He's really just gathering whatever information he can over there.

Marie and Abby are my wonderful RAFsisters ^_^

*blink* That is.. a REALLY cool device! 0 0 wow.
Not sure if Saph will like it as much. =P Honestly, I really don't know whether she'll be intrigued or irritated. XD
