(I Just joined and wanted to start role playing, sorry that the plot is so long)
Four things before we start
1. No rules except for the usual, no god modding etc. and board rules
2. This takes place right after the 34th book
3. I will only role play in first person for the plot, however you're free to do as you wish, just please don't switch between first and third person without any warning, it becomes confusing
4. In this role play you may only control the people you made or asked for and received
Plot
I hate moving, the packing and unpacking, then hauling those boxes everywhere, that isn't even including the furniture. Then there is the new school, no friends, no idea where you're supposed to go, you're singled out. Then when people try to be nice to to and be your friends, but it just really makes you feel uncomfortable and awkward, and you can't really tell them you don't want to sit with them at lunch if you don't like them because it would make you guilty. Usually that is before they find out how smart I am, then they try to pressure me into do all there work for them...
Sorry about that, I began rambling, the short version of that paragraph is that I'm moving to a new town. I hate it when people try to be my friend when they know nothing about me. When people find out how smart I am they try to use me.
You're probably thinking, whats so special, so you're smart, not that special. Well that would be the case with any normal high school student. I'm a bit of an "overachiever" except times ten. I can solve difficult and long math equations in no time flat. I have a photographic memory. I can understand almost any mechanical device and improve it if I take a few minutes to study the blue prints. And I can program countless things on the computer. I keep the last two details a secret, although I have limitations in all these categories....
Maybe that is why they want me, maybe they found out somehow. Don't ask me who they are, all I know if that they kidnapped me...
I'm getting ahead of myself, let me start at the beginning, well my first day at my new high school...
I walked into the school, duh, and eventually found my way to the main office. "Excuse me, but I'm starting today,"I said leaning over the counter a bit. Then greeted by the secretary.
"Are you Damien?"she asked with a bored tone looking up form her computer.
I give a slight nod.
"I have your schedule and the school layout here with me, can you get to your classes with these?" she asked handing me two papers.
Again I nod and walked out of the office. First period, Algebra, great. After I go to my locker I head to my first class, by now it should be halfway through the period.
I knock lightly on the door and was waved in by the teacher. "Class, this is our new student who is starting today, please give him a warm welcome,"the teacher said smiling a bit. Once again I was greeted with bored hellos and lazy waves. It was the same with every school. "You may take a seat in the back."
As usual I nod, walk over and sit down. Sighing I open my book, well my free reading book, which had nothing to do with math. As expected the teacher saw this and, as what is expected, was angry.
"Well if you are reading in my class you must understand this,"he growled forgetting completely about the current lesson I was interrupting. He quickly wrote an equation on the board. "Solve this."
When he said that he probably expected me to take out a piece of paper and a pencil and start working on the equation. It was long enough to take at least a few minutes. However I merely looked up from my book, read the equation and,"The answer is 17." I muttered, which seemed to shock the teacher. Which then led to the rest of the class being him trying to outsmart me and write equation after equation on the board and me giving the answer. That is why I hate math, stubborn teachers. I'm starting to wonder, why do I even go to school, why don't they let me skip ahead a few grades?
I get home, head upstairs to my room and flick on the lights. Parents not home, what else was new? I look over to my computer to see it on and with a window displaying the program I have been working on recently. Strange.. I could have sworn I turned it off. That it when something hits me in the back of the head... and hard.
The next thing I know if that I'm running through a forest at full speed, I have several deep gashes all over my body, my clothes are torn up and bloody, heavy footsteps thump behind me, and some kind of laser is shooting past me burning holes it whatever they hit, they barely miss me. Panic floods my mind, questions explode in my head, such as where am I, what is going on, what happened, how did this happen. Oh and there are also the thoughts as in, Ahhhhh, and as in, I"m going to die, I"m going to die!
(The role play starts during the chase in the forest

hmmm give me a little and i will join

(Alright, let me just add a bit to the story)
Damien continued running, he racked his brain for answers, but he couldn't remember a single useful detail, well anything really. What was wrong with him. He wasn't talking about just what happened to his memory, he also meant what was wrong with he himself, he felt dizzy, numb, and he didn't know how to explain it, just overall strange. Could this be extreme exhaustion? Blood lose perhaps? Could be, he wouldn't know, he never suffered ether of these ailments before. He did know one thing though, he couldn't run forever, and the footsteps were getting louder, and closer.
(Not a lot but I wanted to put something down)
-
ummmmmm plz write a character thing for Damien (so i know how much detail you want in the description)
-
(Oh jeez, did I forget that again, sorry I thought I copy and pasted it in my first post...I'm never really detailed with profiles)
Name: Damien
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Personality: On the outside he appeares uncaring, calm, collected, sarcastic, and almost bored. However that is just a mental disgise he uses to keep himself from becoming friends with anyone. Once you get past that outer shell he is friendly, caring, basically the opposite of what he wants people to think.
Apperance/Description: He stands at 5'12" and on the skinny side. He has brown hair about 6" and is brushed to the right to keep it out of his blue eyes. Usually he wears dark colored clothes, usually with blues and blacks to help enforce his fake disguise.
(I'm never good with profiles so I'll most likely accept anything you write...)
-
Sounds promising...I'll be thinking up a character profile in the meantime :)

Created Human
Name: Victoria Rizzo
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Personality: Victoria is extremely strong willed and even stubborn. She has a very rebellious attitude, which often lands her in trouble at school and at home. But despite her frequent outbursts, Victoria is a social outcast and has no friends at school. She believes that most people her age are lame and for the most part, not worth talking to...so she always keeps to herself, unless physically provoked. Most of the kids think she's snobby and just plain weird, but Victoria does not care. She is also very independent and a self-proclaimed rebel who absolutely despises cliques, fashions, and trends; preferring instead to either make her own clothing or mix and match pieces from a thrift shop to create her own unique styles.
Apperance/Description: Despite her unpopular outcast status, Victoria is a rather cute girl. She is thin and petite of figure at only 5'2 with small girlish breasts. She has sleek bobbed brown hair that falls just above her shoulders, large brown eyes, a small pouty mouth, and a light olive complexion due to her Italian heritage. Is often seeing wearing her own self-styled clothing which usually appears as a sort of mix between punk rock and vintage 1920's and 40's clothing.
-
Created Human
Name: Demos Mars
Age: 15
Gender: Male
5' 6" 153
Personality: Demos is extremely strong willed and not very trusting. He believes the world is evil and everyone needs to think for them selfs and because of this has few friends but is willing to fight for the one's he has. He is smart, cunning, and not very easy to annoy. He has no sympathy for bullies and will sooner break ones nose than try to reason with him. His dad was a award winning marksmen 20 years ago so he is able to learn a few tricks from him.
Apperance/Description: He is 5'6 wears all black but is not a goth(no nail polish or hair dye) Long silver hair, 2 black eyes (Aniridia) and pale skin from staying in side to tinker.
-
(Victoria and Demos are accepted, you may start whenever you want)
(Can't think of anything to else to type right now)
-
(Were all outcasts lol)
BANG click BANG click I was about to reload and put in a another round when
"Demos!! School!!" yelled my dad
"OK!" I hate school; I was the "freak" staying by myself for most of the day.
I put away the Winchester rifle and got my stuff. It felt like it was join to be one of those days. I got to school with only a few dirty looks.
I opened my locker when some guy shoved me into my locker hitting me head off the metal rack on top making me bleed. I turned around fists clenched everyone just turned away. I glared with shifting eyes for the guy or girls who did it.
No one ever fesses up to the deed. I start walking when I see some kid point at me and his friends laugh... now my revenge has a face, I think how easy it would be to break his nose but then I'd get suspended I didn't need that. I walk to the library bumping into some one on the way there "O Sorry" I say as I started walk home, I reached home ate then said to my dad
"I'm going to shoot a few rounds ok?"
"Ok, just don't be late for third class."
"Ya ya" as I walked to the gun hand reaching almost had it in hand when I slip hitting the concrete floor the next thing I know I'm in a forest bobbing and weaving around trees dodging lasers that are burning holes in everything they touch when I think I see a person "HELP!!"
-
(yep lol...should be interesting)
I sighed as I sat in my last period class, staring continuously at the clock with nothing but frustration and downright impatience. Not only was the class boring as hell, but the kids today had been even more annoying and lame than usual...if that was actually possible.
I had grown accustomed to shutting out and ignoring the taunts and epithets and weird stares from the other kids, provided they didn't decide to get physical with me, which I was definitely capable of handling myself despite my small size. Hell, I had gotten detention last week for punching a cheerleader in the face. Which of course she deserved by the way, yet I digress.
Finally after what seemed like an eternity, the bell rang, mercifully signaling the end of class and the school day. Now it was time to go home, eat dinner, do homework, and hopefully not get harangued too much by my 'rents. I gathered up my textbooks and exited the classroom. On the way out, some pinheaded jock decided to toss a rather lewd comment at me, which was met with indifference and a momentary glimpse of the 'bird' skillfully executed behind my back as I walked away.
I finally reached home and pulled open the front door, unceremoniously dumping my stuff on the hallway floor for the time being. My mom was in the kitchen cooking away, when she peeked her head around the corner, a scowl on her face. "Victoria, how many times do I have to tell you?...pick up your stuff and put it in your room, young lady!" she said with frustration. "I will not have my home looking like a pig sty or your personal trash can". With an eye roll and a sigh, I picked up my bag with it's unnecessarily heavy textbooks and lugged it upstairs to my room.
Dinner was complete with it's usual awkward silences, frequently punctuated with a veritable cornucopia of arguments. Tiring of this crap, I finally excused myself from the table, much to my mother's dismay. My father however, was probably relieved that I was no longer gracing him with my presence. "Yeah, whatever" I said shoving my chair irreverently back into the table. "I'm going out for awhile". Since I lived on the outskirts of suburbia, the forest was not that far from my house. I often liked to take walks there at night or whenever I could, anything to get away from home or school. Of course i wasn't stupid enough to actually go to deep into the forest. At least not without a good can of pepper spray in my jacket pocket. Any homework could be done later...especially since I was in no mood for algebraic equations or Shakespearian stanzas right now.
I walked along the perimeter of the forest, the night breeze gently ruffling my shoulder length brown hair. I was as usual lost in my own thoughts and muses, when a scream erupted from the forest followed by the sound of pounding feet, instantly snapping me from my reverie. Somewhat dazed, I looked around for the source of the disturbance, instantly noting in my stupidity that I had been so busy daydreaming that I had not payed attention to where I was going, and was now a good ways into the forest.
"S***" I mumbled as the noises were getting closer and closer. It sounded like someone was being chased or something. I just hoped it wasn't a satanic cult or Leatherface and his whole clan, or something just as equally messed up.

(care to add another player to the game)
(hope you don't mind the age of my character)
Created Character
Name: Jason Warrick
Age: 18
Gender: male
Personality: Jason is always up for a challenge, and never backs out on helping a friend. He knows when is the right time to do something and when not it isn't. But despite all this he is a bit of the "lone wolf" type and doesn't fit in with the social crowd.
Appearance: 5' 8", athletic build, brown hair done in a buzz cut, and brown eyes that seem to have a intense, determined look to them. Dresses causal, the kind of look that can make you disappear into the crowd.
-
(yay more players! :) )
-
(can i post now or wait for the guy in charge to approve my character?)
-
(I think you should wait for Damien's approval...though I'm sure he'll readily accept your profile :))
-
(Hello this still going?)
-
(Gah, sorry I got mixed up with the thanksgiving holiday, and right after I forgot I had to finish my school report and didn't have time to get on the computer)
(Jason is accepted)
(I just realized, it is hard to role play in third person, I'll be role playing in first person from now on)
(Another note, everyone is allowed to control official characters until someone claims them, I don't know it I put that up already)
Damien
I couldn't stop, I had to keep going, I didn't know why, but I was running.
Tsssww
The pain! Involuntarily I let out a scream. On of the lasers hit me, it hardly did, only grazed my right arm. But it still hurt.
Tssww
Another one, this time in my right leg. I couldn't run anymore. I stumbled and fell to the ground. Get up! my mind screamed. I couldn't, my body reached its limit.
Tobias
I looked up. The heavy footsteps of Hork-bijar, the sound of firing dracon beams. Why didn't hear it before? Hurriedly I took off flying towards Ax's scoop. <Ax!> I shouted in thought speak landing on a nearby branch, instantly he jerked awake.
<What is it?> He asked still groggy, he eye stalks drooped slightly.
That is when I heard the scream, human, I was sure of it. Ax heard it too. <Hork-bijar.> That woke him up. We rushed towards the sounds, Ax ran, I flew.
-
I heard one of those things coming so i started to run when in front of me was a blue Centaur with a wicked bladed tail i stopped and pulled out my switch blade and asked "What are you some kind of mutant freak?" We stood there for about four seconds before i heard some one yell at me
<DUCK>
From fights i learned not to question orders so i dropped and i felt was something drop on me. I flipped over, and it was a ARM! "AAAHH" I looked up and the thing was still alive. I started to crawl and i saw what looked like a gun and grabbed it. I took aim and braced for the kick back squeezed the trigger.
Big gun but no recoil it just fired and the things head went away. "Cool" I stood up and followed the blue thing it didn't kill me when it could, but I was paranoid and kept away from its tail. I followed and shot at the big green things
-
(can I join in?)
-
(Go ahead)
Tobias
I nodded mentally, Ax seemed to have that kid 'safe'. Now I needed to find the one that screamed. On the way I saw a teenage girl, I couldn't tell if she was a controller or not, had to take my chances. <Get out of here!>I shouted in thought speak and before she could react I took off towards the scream.
Damien
I looked over my shoulder so see these bizarre, bladed, green green creatures closing in on me. I had to get away, but I couldn't move....
-
(i'm gonna try to catch up with the rest of you so bear with me)
Practice was finally over. Finally. I finished changing, threw my helmet and pads in my locker before grabbing my stuff and headed out the door. "Just another day of getting yelled at and beat on." I said to myself, "Nothing ever changes." I like football, its m favorite sport, but sometime I hate my coaches and teammates and can't wait til I can go home. The good thing about not driving is that walking gives me time to myself, time to be alone in my thoughts. The down side is the distance I had to walk to get from school to my house. And the fact that I had to walk past that section of forest. The forest doesn't creep me out, its the silence and stillness on some nights, the kind in horror movies when something bad happens.
I continue to walk, minding my own business, all the while keeping my eyes and ears open for any hint of trouble. I was walking past that one section of forest when I thought I heard something. I stopped and listened. it sounded like a scream, and something like someone running through the forest. i also thought i saw something moving a short distance from the tree line. curiosity and the part of me that makes me want to help others must took over because i start to go towards the sound, not run away like the other part of me wanted to do.

((Profile:
Name: Alexander Lawls
Age: 18
Appearance: Alexander is five foot six and has tan skin from exposure to the sun. He has short black hair with red tips. He has broad shoulders and an firm build. He has a scar on his shoulder from an accident as a youth. He has one blue eye and one brown eye. He has heterochromia.
Personality: Alexander is impulsive amoung family but quiet around strangers. He thinks alot. He likes sports, and hiking through the woods. He hates being useless. He wants to live the philosphy of enjoying the journey far more than the end result. He is logical enough to understand the usage of violence but he doesn't act on the impulse on that.
He can't touch or use anything resembling a gun. His hands shake and his scar throbs with phantom pains.
Bio: Alexander comes from a family of cops. When he was five he got a scar from his cousin who fired a gun at him in play that caused his phobia. In order to cope with being unable to touch guns, his parents enrolled him into a martial arts school. He continued on dilgently. He branched from that to other forms of martial arts, judo, karate and even went to another country to learn from monks. He finished high school early at sixteen and went on to further his career in martial arts. He has just finished a summer in the rural parts of China. ))
Breathe In. Breath Out. Breathe In. Breath Ouu-
Wham. "Ow." Alexander got up from his perch on the tree branch. He winced, poking the scraped elbow and checking his body from other brusies.
He looked up to see his bag still at the highest top of the tree. He'll have to get it another day. Alexander looked around for the source of the scream. Someone, most likely a bimbo, was screaming it's head off in the forest. But even if it was a moron or some drunk idiots being stupid he has to help.
One of the monks told him to 'help others to cleanse chi'. Right, like he needed to cleanse his chi. His chi was perfectly fine. He doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs. And he hadn't kicked any puppies lately either.
He started off towards where he thought he heard the scream. Maybe he'll get lucky and the person who screamed doesn't need his help. As he jogged through the forest, he could hear other footsteps. Other people. Maybe they could be the helpers and he could go back to training.
He slowed a bit. Or not.
With a sigh, Alexander ran off to assist a random person he didn't know. The monks were a bad influence on him.

(( Host Name: Stephen Jones
Yeerk Name: Zaphod 694
Host Species: Human
Age: 27
Gender:Male
Yeerk Personality: Zaphod is subvisser 42 and an acomplished weapons techinician, but also being the one causing several "accidents" and discovering "Traitors" as he does his underminding for the Yeerk Peace Movement. He tends to prefer to work alone and pretty much turns down any offers for promotion, for fear of gaining Visser three's attention to his work. Despite his antisocial tendencies while at work, he actually rather enjoys going to sharing events although it might be more because he finds some controllers annoyance in attending those event amusing over the actual event itself. He has agreed with Stephen to keep his morphing ability secret from the rest of the empire and peace movement alike.
Human Personality: Stephen is somewhat of a normal guy, if you don't include the slug in his head of course. He tends to act rather sarcastic about his responciblities around others, but always gets the job done none the less. Before he became a host, he did stumble apon the blue box within the construction yard. But, after looking over it for a while and feeling an odd tingling sensation he decided to hide it back in the junk. Only to find out what it really was after he was infested. He and Zaphod searched for it but were never able to find it, assuming that either the Andillite Bandits or some foolish human had found it.
Description: An average looking 25 year old, his light brown hair always ending up in some mess nomatter how much time he takes to brush it out. His blood red eyes seem to surprise people at first until some notice that they are just contacts and not natural. His normal atire is just a random T-shirt with some game or anime design on it along with dark or camo pattern pants. His body seems a little wide for his height, being around 5'11", but its more of natural features then obseity. He often jokes about being a vampire because of how pale he is and how much time he spends indoors when the sun it out. His morphing outfit is a simple black wetsuit.
Relationship: He was a voluntary host through the sharing, although his paring with a Yeerk Peace Movement member was prearranged.
Yeah I wanted to try something interesting with a controller who secretly had morphing powers... I don't know how well that would work in most RPs so yeah ^_^;))
-
(Damien wasn't screaming constantly, he let out a scream for about two seconds and stopped)
(I guess I can allow Stephan to have morphing powers... he is accepted, mind if I make an opening for you to come in?)
Damien
One of the green creatures grabbed me by the arm rather painfully and pulled me up to my feet. I tried getting away but the creature's grip was like steel. With nothing eles to do I just stared ahead pathetically, the creatures moved to the sides to make a path for someone.
-
(( well yeah, its not something he uses a lot, just to either frame something on "andilite bandits" or to just clear his head while walking around the forest, or some other secluded area.))
Zaphod
He sighs as he walks towards the restrained human, "Did you really think you could escape us?" he says as he lowers the Dracon gun at the captive, "I should just end you now to save the trouble of making sure you don't escape again... but my orders are to bring you in alive." he says as he holsters his weapon, turning to the Hork-Bijar holding the boy "Tie him up and try not to cut him as you carry him back."
-
(I think I'll take tobias for now)
Damien
The creatures tied my wrists together with rope, one of them threw me over there shoulder and tied my ankles together. It was hopeless, I couldn't escape, something I didn't even know why I was... No I lifted up my head and looked around frantically, there must be a way. I examined the area thoroughly, yes, yes that would work, but only if when, I mean if...
Tobias
I landed on a nearby branch as quietly as I could. There was a group Hork-Bijar and a human controller, one had a kid, around 14 or 15 over his shoulder, tied up too...
-
continuing through the forest i came across what looked like burns on some trees. "what kind of thing can do something like that?" i wondered. i hadn't heard anything since i entered the forest and was starting to regret even going in when a blur of movement caught my eye. i turned but saw nothing. looking around i could have sworn i saw someone or something moving. "i know i'm going to regret this," i muttered to myself and began to follow the figure.
-
Alexander moved quickly through the forest, barely making a sound. As he ran he noticed odd burn marks. The smell of ash quickly filled his nostrils. He ran faster, mostly to escape the smell.
He jumped, grabbing an overhanging tree branch vaulting himself up higher. From this vantage point he could see something big moving, shaking the branches a bit further away. He couldn't exactly see what it was but knew it had to be big.
Steadying himself for a confrontation, he jumped, propelling himself further. With that jump, he whooshed through the air before landing on the ground in a roll, softening the landing. He was now closer. Through the brush and the thick trees he saw something....green. ..moving. On the green thing was a kid and an adult holding....
Alexander squinted. What was that thing?
-
Zaphod looks around Briefly seeing some of the scorch marks and trampled brush and sighs, "Keep an eye out for anything out of place. If anything so much as looks at you funny attack first, and ask questions if it isn't dead." he says as he pulls out his dracon gun again, his eyes looking along the trees for any out of place wildlife.
-
Damien
"I hope that I'm right about this..." I whispered. Lifting up both feet, since they were tied together, I brought them down hard in the center of the hork-bijar's chest. Yes! I was right, that was this creature's center of balance. The creature fell backwards, as it fell I managed to free my hands by cutting the rope aorund my hands on on of the large blades it had. I tumbled out of its grip and landed several feet away. Sitting up I looked aorund quickly, there it was, right where I expected it to me, its gun type weapon, just a foot to my left. Quickly I picked it up, it seemed familiar, like I seen it somewhere before... I adjusted the setting, somehow, to level one and shot at the ropes binding my feet. I jumped up putting the setting back on level five and pointed the gun at the human. He seemed to be the leader. "Any of you move one inch and I shot!"I shouted with unusual rage in my voice. "Leave me alone you filthy slugs!" Slugs? Where did that come from?
(Sorry if that seemed a bit godmodish but he is supposed to be very intelligent, why wouldn't that include anatomy and physics?)
-
As I was running shooting the green thing, hork-bijar the Blue Centaur called them i lost track of him. I heard shouting, a loud thud and a kid pointing a gun at a unarmed kid. I found a second gun picked it up and walked out to where i could see them both. I pointed one ant the kid threatening and one at the threatened "Put down the gun or your head tastes laser. And you drop yours as well! Unarmed one! You got five seconds to tell me why he's going to shoot you. Same with out why are you going to shoot him? Hurry or else."
-
(( Wait... where did the second one come from o.O Daimon has the one from the fallen Hork-Bijar. ))
-
i finally caught up to whatever or whoever i was following. but what i saw made me stop dead in my tracks. i saw three guys, two around my age, the third alittle older. the older one had a gun of some kind point at one of the others who appeared to be tied up. the third guy had a weapon in each hand and was pointing one at each of them. but what really caught my attention was the creature that lay on the ground, a creature covered in blades and looked like it came out of some weird sci-fi movie.
-
First thing that caught his attention was the big walking blade. For a second, all he could think of was how cool it would be to have those blades on his own body. Following that was a few seconds of terror as to how to fight it.
What really freaked him out was the sudden reappearance of people, all males, and all of them people he didn't know. He was quite prepared to leap out and join when he saw the gun. He didn't know what it was but he was sure it was a gun.
Alexander felt his heart beat faster and his limbs tremble. He didn't hate guns but he had an irrational fear of them. Now he didn't want to go there, he didn't want to be in the group of gun totting people. A person is smart, people are stupid. And three individuals constitute as a group, ie mob. Although they lack the torches and pitchforks.
It took a few minutes to calm down, to back away slightly. One of the greatest things he learned while studying with the monks was meditation. Breath in and out, center yourself. He grabbed a sturdy branch, and sneaked back to his hiding place. For now he doesn't know who is the bad one, and who was the less bad one but he knew charging in was reckless.
For now he will watch and wait. The strange looking one was on the ground, males with guns and one other unarmed person.
Breath in. Out. In. Out.
And wait.

(Geez i'm gone for a couple days and already we have a bunch of posts! lol...aw well, time to play catch up to the best of my abilities I guess)
Victoria
I froze dead in my tracks listening to the sounds of the ensuing struggle in the forest. I knew at that moment that I should just walk away, go home, call the cops, and do my homework. However, acting on impulse, those thoughts of reason and sanity were quickly discarded as I crept in closer to the action, making sure to keep myself concealed within the shadows of the trees.
What I saw next had taken me utterly by surprise. "What the hell?!" I said as I caught sight of several freaky looking bladed creatures and some guys around my own age with some weird looking ray guns. In fact, a couple of the guys actually looked vaguely familiar as if I had seen them at school perhaps. It took me a second to register my big mistake. In my shock, I had stupidly opened my mouth a little too loudly, which had no doubt attracted the attention of the kids with the guns or those other things.
Instinctively, I slowly and quietly began to shrink back into the foliage to avoid detection. Okay, Victoria get a d*mn hold of yourself I mentally chided myself as I continued to back away, eyes still focused on the creatures and armed guys out there. As if things couldn't get worse, I accidentally rocked back off my heels and fell backwards with a thud. I winced in pain, as I noticed that a sharp stick on the ground had managed to tear through the fishnet stockings on my left leg. A thin rivulet of crimson ran down the side of my thigh, and had stained the hem of the modified skirt I wore over it.

He saw the newest person, heard her first actually. Silently, he crept parallel to her. When he saw her fall, he quickly leaped into action. Alexander grabbed her by the arm and hauled her up and out of view. He clamped one hand on over her mouth, to stifle any sound. He had ditched his branch beforehand so he could use both of his hands.
"Shhh." Alexander whispered, eyes darting to see if anyone had seen any of them.
His first act, in fact the one lesson pounded into him was to do no harm. It was a good way to avoid lawsuits not to mention expulsion at school. He hoped his actions would save her. Alexander had a feeling that once you enter into this twilight zone, you won't be able to go back.

(Where did the second dracon beam come from, they don't grow like plants...)
Damien
I looked between the two other humans, one that I was trying to get away from and one that was pointing dracon beams at both of us. Great the random x factor, this completely ruined my plan. I didn't know what to do, I was trying to figure out what to do in this situating but my mind drew a blank... I still held my weapon firmly.
-
<<Now What...There are way too many people here to make this a clean escape.>> Stephen thought to Zaphod
<< I don't know... I never would have guessed all these people would have stumbled upon us...aside from the obvious ruckus we were making>> Zaphod takes a quick glance over to the sudden sound, nodding slightly to one of the hork-bijar that heard it as well, the bladed alien slowly making its way over there.
<< Well we have to think of something, Fast!>>
Zaphod sighs as he calmly speaks to the other humans holding the Dracon guns, "Now now, there is no need to start shooting anyone. This can all be resolved without anyone getting hurt... well getting hurt more." he says as he turns the weapon in his hand, before holstering it again. "I just need to take this boy back with me, he's in some trouble and I'm making sure that he doesn't get anyone else involved in his problem." He lies as he turns to the human aiming at both of them, "I think its best if you just hand those back to me, and just forget what you saw here. I wouldn't want to have take you into custody along with him, the extra paperwork is just too much of a hassle."
-
((Hey, mind if I join up as an OC and Ax? If so, I'll post profiles laterz.))
-
(Go ahead)
Damien
I narrowed my eyes,"No!"I shouted aiming the dracon beam just above Stephen's right shoulder and fired so it would only graze him Hopefully that would be enough of a distraction. I turned aorund and ran as fast as I could, which wasn't fast considering I was almost completely out of energy and my leg was injured from a dracon beam.
Tobias
I watched helplessly, I had to help somehow, but when, and how?
-
I saw the shot and the armed kid started to run. I turned something on the gun hoping it was the power. I fired at the legs hoping to stun him. I thought i hit his legs but i turned and pointed my full power gun at the other guy.
"Why were the hork-bijar listening to you and what is up with the Blue centaur? Speak or i'll shoot you and get my answers from the other guy."
I turned the power back up on the gun and stayed seven feet away
-
Zaphod blinks a moment, "Blue Centaur, What blue centaur? All I know is this boy almost started an intergalactic war with the Hork-Bijar and I need to take him in to answer for his crimes." he reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a realistic looking badge with the initials D.H.W.S. on it, "I'm with the Department of Home World Security, we're kinda like the Men in Black only less suits are more realism. We were discussing a treaty with their leaders when he attempted to attack the council and basically put us in quite a pickle." he says as he puts his hands up in the air, but slowly edges toward the boy with the 2 guns, "Like I said, just hand them back over to me and forget what you saw here. You don't want to be considered an accomplice do you, the charges would be Treason."
-
(I never thought the yeerks would have a cover up like that...)
Damien
Run, I had to keep running. I brought the dracon beam so I was holding it in both hands in front of me. Maybe I could... would it work... no I didn't even know what parts are in here... I slowly down and hid behind a tree sitting on the ground. I slowly pried a small sheet of metal off the top of the gun. It must have came loose when it fell on the ground. I then reached in and began fiddling with the wires and various other parts of the weapon, this metal was strange though, I don't remember seeing anything with its properties before...
-
(hope the others catch up to us...and what are Ax and Tobias doing while all this is going on)
i watched from my hiding place and tried to make sense of what was going on. "just when life couldn't get any weirder," i muttered to myself. i saw one of the three make a break for it and would have follow if my attention hadn't been captured by the conversation between the other two.
-
(( they are chilling in Z-space along with the other two Im waiting on to post. ))
-
((i'm waiting too....can't do nothing yet...*sigh*...))
-
(Tobias is waiting for a chance to strike, Traycon now controls Ax, last I knew he was with Demos...)
-
(( basically waiting on Demos and one of the ones who made noise but Demos mainly ))
-
(sry 4 the w8 i had curling. and omg i never thought that would happen nice!)
My jaw dropped, Treason, thats over my head but why would the kid start a intergalactic war? Before i knew what i was doing i chucked the one gun at his face and ran faster than i have ever ran before. I found the kid who try to start a war and said "STOP SCUM BAG! Why are you trying to start a war?!! Tell me or I'll give you to that home land guy."
-
(( ^_^ it takes an unusual mind to think of unusual things.... wait... o.O ))

(Man keeping up with you guys might be somewhat of a challenge...nonethe less, my muse is jonesing for some good ol' rp lol)
Victoria
Before I could react next, a pair of hands had shot out from seemingly nowhere and grabbed me. "Ya...mmm" I exclaimed through the hand that had cupped itself around my mouth. My first instinct was to struggle, but I quickly reigned that in when I saw one of the large bladed creatures start to head in our direction through the foliage.
I froze. I craned my neck slowly up to look at my captor. It was a guy maybe a couple years older than me. I sincerely hoped he was on my side as that thing drew closer and closer.
-
((Wahhooo! I get to post!))
Alexander was careful to pull her to the side of the brush, hidden further into the forest. "You should run." He advised, grabbing a thick branch from the ground. "I'll distract him."
He held no allusions of his own capacity but he had never fought against a bladed foe such like this creature. However the creature was no fighter, it may be quick and strong but that doesn't mean it was invincible.
He stepped out into the open. "Excuse me, but sir Halloween is way past and while I must admit your costume is ingenious I don't think its wise to wear it about. Someone might get scared." He smiled pleasantly.
-
Damien
I looked up, my whole body was shaking from fear,"A war?"I asked confused,"Is that the lie they fed you, I'm trying to start a war!?"I growled almost yelling,"I despise violence with every fiber of my being!" I tried standing up but immediately fell back down, I no longer had the energy to even stand...
-
Hork-Bijar(s?)
The pair hunting down the source of the noise amongst the brush looked over almost surprised that the human just popped up and started talking to them. They rapidly moved towards him, listening carefully for any others around.
Stephen/Zaphod
Zaphod winces as he rubs his shoulder lightly, "For one that despises violence, you sure did a number to that Hork-Bijar and a nice shot off my shoulder." He says as he follows the enraged human, motioning the 3 Hork-Bijar with him to flank him as he draws his weapon, setting the power relatively low to not break his orders of a live capture. "If you do despise it so much, I'm sure you wouldn't mind just handing over that weapon and coming with us peacefully..." he says as he creeps up on the angry boy near the target, quickly wrapping an arm around his neck as he levels the gun to his temple, "Unless you want to add this child as a causality."

((Sorry, currently tied up with school. I'll try and post profiles/an actual post later today, when I'm not elbow-deep in homework or school work.))

(now would be a good time for a animorph rescue!!)
I felt a gun up on my temple. Crap, throwing my gun will not help this time. I dropped the gun the gun. The only thing that was going through my head was what would my parents say when i was dead. Or would they find out?
-
(now would be a good time for a animorph rescue!!)
I felt a gun up on my temple. Crap, throwing my gun will not help this time. I dropped the gun grabbed my knife and stabbed him in the thigh, he winced in pain. I grabbed his gun arm and twisted it near the breaking point and put my knife at his throat "Its a good this i do like a little violence. Get the gun i dropped.Trying to kill me? Ya real home land security. What are you and if you lie again I'll kill you"
(You just took control of someone else's character... thats called god modding...)

Name: Norpo 697
Age: 57
Gender: Male
Race: Yeerk
Personality: He's sweet, caring, smart, and a little Narsasistic. He'd be just as happy spending his time on the couch than anything else. He's slow to action, argumentative, not very strong-willed, dependable, and easily swayed by his host.
Family: Hundreds of brothers and sisters, but the only one worth mentioning is Hapro
Appearance or Pictures: He's average length and weight for a Yeerk, with a long scar running across his back from where his current host attempted to cut him in half and then tried to save him. She's never told him why, and he's never pushed the subject.
Background: Norpo is a Yeerk who spent most of his time being a good worker for the Yeerk Empire. That was until his sister--a Yeerk named Hapro--began yelling at him.
His sister would go on and on about how what the Yeerks were doing was evil; how he should stop simply obeying orders and open his eyes, ect.
Finally, if only to stop her pestering, he attended one of the meetings of a group of Yeerks who believed the Andalites were right when it came to saying the Yeerks were evil. The Empire needed to be stopped!
Norpo joined right then and there.
Now, a few years after gaining his host from some sub-visser who didn't want to deal with moving out of state, he sometimes wonders if it was a good decision. Staying with his host, that is.
He also recently, as in like yesterday, took a promotion to subvisser. Subvisser Fourty-Three to be exact.
Name: Tiamate Morgan
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Personality: She's stubborn, strong-willed, argumentative, and arrogant She's a bit of a night-owl. She's fairly active and usually dependable and extremely short-tempered. She has a short attention span. She is almost always tired and grumpy. She also has a thing for languages. She also is borderline alcoholic.
Family: None
Appearance or Pictures: On appearance, she is average. Average height, average weight, average bust, average everything. She does her best to blend in with the crowd when she can, which she's fairly good at doing because she's so non-discript.
She's mildly tan and can pull off a bikini if she wants.
Background: Having grown up in -insert where Animorphs live here- she still knows her way around the place. However, due to some estate issues, she's finally managed to move back.
See, when she was about fifteen, she started acting out. This happened to coinside with the time that her father began traveling with work again. As it was, her worried mother spoke with her father about enrolling her in an afterschool activity or something. So, her father took her to check out the Sharing, to spend some quality "father, daughter" time together.
A few weeks later they became full members. Her father got some lowly Yeerk, while she was sub-visser Twenty-Nine.
Fastforward two years to when the sub-visser finds out that her father's Yeerk is trying to get Yeerks to rally against Visser Three. He took out her father in a fire that destroyed their house.
Three weeks later her mother announces that they're moving up North. A year later she died in a car crash.
About two months ago she finally got a call--and a bill--from her lawyer. Her lawyer said that the estate had finally cleared. So, Tia packed up and moved back, deciding that now that the smoke had cleared, she might look into some classes at a small college. That is assuming Norpo will help her with...just about everything.
That's still up in the air.
She also is slightly competitive towards Stephen, since his Yeerk outranks her in everything except for within the Yeerk Peace Movement, where she is his commander.
-
((Ok...So, everyone knows that I already control Ax...Do I need a profile for him, too, or approval for this charrie?))
-
(No profile needed, you can post when you want)
-
(( also he pulled another gun out of Zspace... what to do about that...))
-
((Kk, cool.
*Opens mouth* Erm...Got a bit lost while reading over what's happened so far. What, exactly is going on with Ax?))
"What's this?"
Norpo looked up from his work, pushing his host's glasses up her nose to look at the Controller who had walked in. His new assistant. "Oh, it's just a pet project of mine," he replied, looking back down at the blue-prints for the new weapon Zaphod had asked him to look over before his recent promotion.
"What's it do?" the curious Controller asked.
"Transporter. But the only problem is that I have no idea where it sends things at this point if I go beyond two feet. Beyond that they tend to disappear or appear disfigured."
"Cool. Can you show me?"
Sighing, Norpo pushed himself away from the table. "Sure. Come here."
He strolled around and began showing his new assistant the controls. "Can I--"
"Yes, you can have a demonstration," Norpo replied before the other could finish. He calmly walked over and snatched an apple from the table, only vaguely listening to the beeping sound as the assistant targeted the "transporter". Ignoring his host's protests, he walked over to the target pad. "Ok, let me get--"
"Good by, Subvisser," the Controller said, pushing the button and zapping Norpo right in the chest.
Ax stood in the tree-line and swung a stalk-eye up to Tobias. <Perhaps it would be pertinent for you to warn the others,> he said calmly.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Neither human nor Yeerk was sure who was screaming aloud, since they were both screaming pretty badly as Tiamate fell. They had appeared a few feet above the trees, obviously above a forest, but neither could really be sure which forest. All they knew was that she was heading towards the ground, and, by proxy, someone on the ground.
-
(my bad change so now its not god modding sry :-[ )
-
"what the?" Zaphod says as he looks up in time to see someone.... familiar falling on top of him. "Ooomph!" he cries out as he's knocked over. One of the hork-bijar closing in and aiming his weapon on the falling person, whilst the other two quickly work to cut off any escape routes.
-
"Oooww..." Tia groaned, sitting up. "I think I landed on a rock," she muttered to Norpo.
<A talking rock that is surrounded by Hork-Bajir?> Norpo asked skeptically. He turned to look at what he had landed on, keeping half an eye on the Hork-Bajir. He had faith in his host's abilities as a shooter, but he wasn't sure how quickly she could draw before the Hork-Bajir fired if he got trigger-happy.
"Oh, hello, Zaphod," Norpo said brightly.
-
"Ow... Hi, Norpo..." he says as he holds a hand up to let the Hork-Bijar know its fine, "Please tell me why you are interrupting my mission, And don't say you dropped in to say hi..."
<aww, but that would have been funny.> Stephen argues
<No. I wouldn't.>
-
"Yes, we fell out of the sky just to say hi," Tia snapped irritably, standing up.
Norpo twisted her back, wincing slightly as it popped. "Apparently my new assistant has it out for me." He jerked his head at the Hork-Bajir. "Wasn't aware that you were on a mission." He raised both eyebrows as if to ask if it was for the Peace Movement.
-
Zaphod shakes his head as he groans "Right, since you're here and obviously would love to help, please by all means do." he points to the target crouched against a tree, "We need him, or Visser three will be in a very very bad mood... a fatally bad mood if you get my drift."
-
Tia walked over and crouched down in front of the boy. He was about her age when she was taken. The corner of her mouth turned up in a smile. "How fatally are we talking, Zaphod? Like angry enough to kill all three of your Hork-Bajirs?" She had pulled out the number three from thin air, since neither of them was positive about the number of Hork-Bajir in the forest.
-
"Probably along with anyone else that got in my way, and any hapless that happened to look at him funny for the next week or so." Zaphod says as he gets up, keeping the weapon trained on his hostage as he jerks his head towards you. Two of the Hork-Bijar coming around you, weapons drawn.
-
(( um.... What? ))
-
((No offense, but my sentiments exactly. What?))
"So, that's how it's going down," she muttered. She stood up and took a step back, so that the two Hork-Bajir were at angles to her. Then she swiftly drew her Dracon beam from the back of her pants, where she always kept it, and fired.
TSEWWW!
The Hork-Bajir on her left fell. She saw the other Hork-Bajir moving to take aim at her, but she spun and squeezed the trigger, smirking as he slumped to the ground.
-
His head turns quickly as soon as he hears the first shot, not even seeing who it's coming from as he fires at the weapon and the arms of whoever was holding it, cursing under his breath in french.
<Wait...was that Tia firing at them?> Stephen says in shock.
<If it was... she better have some good answers.> Zaphod replies to his host, as he motions for the hork-bajir to follow him, staying behind cover as he looks around, assessing the situation.
-
Tia swore and felt the Dracon fall from her hand as most of her arm went numb.
<That was...intelligent. Really intelligent...>
<Aren't you suppose to stop me from doing "intelligent" things?> Tia snapped back.
<I didn't think you were going to actually do it,> Norpo muttered. He didn't add that he hadn't stopped her because he thought it wasn't a bad idea.
Ax watched this display. He was confused. <Why do you think she shot those Hork-Bajir?> he asked Tobias. If it turned out they had an ally, then maybe she could be useful in the future.
-
(I just write what I'm thinking and mostly it works, but sometimes....)
-
((Meh, it happens.))
-
(I'm confused.....how many horkbajir are there? Also, so we have, two controllers, one with a gun towards damien. Demos is being held hostage while my character and the other girl is somewhere not near the controllers? The two horkbajir that were near him walked around him? Where are the places of incidence?)
-
(i think i count 3 left)
-
(I have no idea...)
(I got a new color scheme, it is easier than putting bold over everything I do. Maroon=tobias Navy=Damien)
(I'm only going to use first person for Damien form now on)
<I don't know, yeerk peace movement perhaps?> Tobias replied. <You're right I'll go get the others, this is going out of control.> And with that Tobias flew off, Cassie would be the first to know, she lived the closest.
I didn't know what to do, I had to get away, I had to, but I could hardly stand, how?
-
(For future reference my char's name is Victoria...so you don't have to keep saying 'that other girl somewhere' lol ;) )
Victoria
I nodded, deciding to keep quiet as I slowly began backing away. Of course I wasn't going to just turn tail and run. At least not at the moment. I was sure the guy in the bushes with me was going to take his own advice and join me, that is until he brashly stepped right out in front of those bladed things without any sort of weapon.
"Are you crazy?!" I said in a harsh whisper as he nonchalantly strolled out there. "This is no time to play superhero" I said hoping he possessed at least an ounce of sanity. I cursed quietly under my breath, still backing slowly out of sight.
I was nearly home free when all of a sudden a girl came tumbling out of the sky, and fell on top of one of the armed guys. Okay...what the hell! I thought as I stopped and stared at the bizarre sight. This was getting seriously weird, as if it weren't weird enough already. Had there been a gun close enough at hand, I would have jumped into the fray as well. Unfortunately, there wasn't, so I decided to just stay put at the moment.
-
"just when i though this couldn't get any more confusing," i muttered to myself as i saw a girl seemingly drop out of the sky and land on one of the armed guys. "just what the hell is going on?" i considered getting the hell out of there when i swore i heard a voice. looking around revealed nothing but my gut told me that someone else was hiding in the woods, witnessing the same thing i was.
-
(( basically there was 3 Hork-Bijar with Stephen + 2 that went after Victoria and the other guy, now 2 of the ones with Steph are knocked out, leaving one with him and 2 going after the other boy, and one confused and angry Zaphod/Stephen wondering what the heck was Tia/Norpo thinking? ))
-
((So, why don't you, oh, I don't know, ask her? XP))
-
(when are we gonna get this over with and get to the real action)
-
(weird, that is what it is)
There was only one word that could explain this whole situation. When they didn't speak but, fine. But when the girl fell from the sky, that was...plain strange. But words tend not to show as much as action. Alexander tossed the branch on the ground at that moment, ghosted forward. With two fingers, he tapped certain parts of their bodies. They looked humanoid so they should have some of the same pressure points and nerve clusters.
The two blade things lurched forward and fell face first onto the ground. The pressure points that worked made them lose feeling in their legs. They were paralyzed from the waist down.
-
(( I'm debating on what to do based on what the random hoomans do. ))
-
(I'm going to try to speed things up since nothing is happening right now)
I didn't want to watch this anymore, it had to stop. Random creatures and humans were falling form the sky and I couldn't go back there the pain was to much. I clamped my hands over my ears. Where did the screaming come from!? What was screaming, why did it sound so familiar. Because it was me... I fell to my knees. The pain! I couldn't block it out, it filled every fiber of my being. Terrible, gruesome, twisted images of creatures of every kind in pain, I couldn't stop the images from flashing in my mind. Suddenly the flashing stopped it froze on one picture, one memory.
Flashback
I was standing at the edge of a pier overlooking a large and dirty pool. You could see slug like creatures swimming and wriggling in the pool. I remember, I remember struggling against the iron grip of the green creatures. Hork bajir... I whipped my head back to see a blue centaur looking creature watching, Visser Three.
<Don't let him get away, infest him imedietly, this human will be quiet usfull with its large intellegence>
That voice, that terrible voice, impossible to block out, it spoke directly into your mind! I felt my head being shoved into the the large pool. Something was crawling into my ear, no! No get out!
-
Victoria
I continued to watch the bizarre scene unfold before my eyes. I was half-expecting to hear my alarm to go off, and I'd find myself tucked away in bed. Just another messed up dream. But I knew that what I was seeing was real...and that I had to do something. Had to help that kid that they were trying to cart away.
I watched in shock as the guy that had pulled me into the bushes, succeeded in knocking out several of those bladed creatures using his bare hands. I shook myself, to clear my head in case this was all an illusion or something. "Huh?" I said not really taking heed of who heard me know. Then something struck me. An idea...a kind of foolish idea but one nonetheless.
I looked around my immediate area for something, anything really, to use as a makeshift weapon of sorts. Just my luck, there happened to be a rather thick broken off tree branch nearby. Big enough to cause some damage, I hoped, but still small enough to be wielded fairly easily. Gripping the branch in my hand, I slowly and stealthily made my way around through the foliage, coming in behind the creature that held the kid captive.
Luckily, there was enough distractions all around, that it made my plan just a little bit easier. I figured one good swing of this branch against the creature's skull would be enough to free the kid temporarily. Ideally, long enough for the both of us to get away. I mean, hell, if some random teenage guy can knock those things out using the old martial arts pressure point of doom (which up until then I believed was just another Hollywood myth and a bunch of crap really)...then I can surely accomplish at least something with a sizable enough branch, despite my petite girlishness.
Just then, the kid being held captive fell to his knees with a loud splitting scream. Perfect. Here goes I thought aiming the branch back and swiftly delivering a blow to the alien monstrosity's head. Apparently it had worked, and the creature had loosened his grip on the kid. "Come on, let's go!" I shouted at him, hoping that he would stop screaming and start hauling a**.
-
(( um... which kid.... there is only one Hork-Bijar left conscious is with Steph and Tia standing guard and making sure Damien doesn't make a break for it. Because Demos' character well spontaniously died unless he changed that? ))
-
just then i saw two people make a break for and decided i had seen enough. "time to do what the smart ones are doing, run like hell." i started tearing like hell after them, trying to understanding what was going on, and put as much distance between me and this nightmare.
-
(I meant Damien...but since this is first person and Victoria does not know his name yet....that's why I used kid instead. If this were third person, then I would have said Damien in the post. But Victoria doesn't know him...so yeah)
-
(( ok, but the thing is. that the thing Damien posted is a flash back in the Yeerk Pool. not what's going on in the forest right now. Thats why I was confused.))
-
(I know it's a flashback...but just before the flashback started, he had dropped on his knees and started screaming when the images came back to haunt him. Or that's how I ended up reading Damien's last post. To everyone else in the forest, it would appear that he's screaming randomly and they probably don't know what is happening to him)
-
(( but none of them are holding anyone... thats my point -.-; ))
-
(im still here just not much i can do..)
-
(Other people's arguments confuse me...)
Tobias landed on the windowsill. He tapped on the window with his beak. A confused Cassie opened the window rubbing her eyes, she must have been sleeping.
"What is it Tobias?"she asked.
<There is a huge problem going on in the forest, I don't have time to explain but you'll see what I mean when you get there>Tobias said quickly,<I'll go tell the others.> And with that Tobias took off again.
I snapped out of my screaming fit when someone grabbed me and pulled me to my feet. I couldn't hear what she said but she began running so I followed.
-
(( ... ... ... so Stephen and Tiamate are just nothing.... she possibly knocked out a non existent Hork-Bijar.... she was talking about one that was holding someone, the only conscious one isn't holding anyone.... thats my problem... ))
-
(Yeah, but I don't recall there being a post where the remaining conscious one actually let go of Damien. So I assumed he still had the kid in his grip....and I am not ignoring that Stephen and Tiamate are present. In fact, I want them to get involved, if anything. Also I wouldn't think it very wise if the Hork-Bajir just let go of Damien. Especially if it could possibly cost him his life for giving the captive a chance to escape.)
-
((She's got a point, dude. Why don't we just add in another Hork or something. Claim could be that you shot me before I got proper aim on the Hork holding Damien or something, and get back to the actual RP? Otherwise, Ax is just going to get bored and leave, and Tia'll blow up the freaking forest.))
-
((awww... but explosions are fun!))
"Oh no you don't!" He shouts, taking a close aim and firing at the boy's legs before chasing after them. Being glad that they already injured one of them earlier.
-
i began to follow the two who had started running. out of the corner of my eye, i saw one of armed guys give chase, weapon aimed, trying to get a clear shot. i don't know what came over me but i couldn't let him get that shot off but there wasn't a chance that i could stop him in time. the next thing i remember is running right at him, hoping that i would get to him before he fired.
-
GUN!
Alexander followed his instincts and ran as well. The further he was from the gun the better. Oddly enough it didn't make a pop sound but something else.
-
(where am i? still a hostage?)
-
(Lol I think you may be free to run now too, Demos)
Victoria
I took off at top speed through the forest, hoping to lose the armed guy and get this kid into hiding or something. "Yah!" I cried as one of the shots from the ray gun thing hit only inches from my leg. "Son of a b*tch!" I scowled as I reached out and tightened my grip on the guy next to me, helping him to match my pace if he was hurt.
"It'll be okay, we're getting you out of here and to some place safe" I said nodding over to the two other guys who had decided to make a break for it as well. I continued to run, ignoring the brambles and sharp sticks that had torn my stockings to shreds, as I mulled over possible places we could go to be safe from these aliens or whatever the hell they were.
-
<*sigh* There is only one way we can even catch up to them...and I don't like it anymore then you do.> Stephen thinks to Zaphod
<Yeah, I know but let's try to make it as clean as possible...> The Yeerk replies, before diving behind some brush, looking around to double check his cover before stowing his dracon gun in a small bag. He quickly strips down to the wet suit he has underneath his clothes before crouching and focusing on a wolf he had acquired not long ago, Shuddering slightly as he feels the bones start to crack and reform, his arms and legs becoming the same length as his fingers come together into paws. His teeth lengthening into fangs as they fill out his elongating face, as the tingling starts to spread across his body from nose to back, gray fur sprouting to cover his body. His Ears moving upward as his tail sprouts out between his hind legs. Zaphod shakes his head a little as he reigns in the wolf's instincts, sniffing around as he picks up the scent of someone familiar along with blood. Deciding that's the best path to go as he chases after the scent, hoping it leads him to his target.
-
i stopped dead in my tracks. the guy with gun had disappeared, not that i cared but i didn't want to hang around any longer. i ran like hell after the others, pushing through bushes and snapping branches as i tried to catch up and get the heck out of the forest before who knew what next.
-
Running was easy. Alexander jumped, bouncing off tree trunks and tree branches. He was quite far away, before he decided to double back. It wasn't as if it was going to hurt him in any way.
He slipped back, high on the tree tops when he caught sight of the others. He slipped down from the tops, landing down a few feet in front of them. "Hey guys." There was the girl. "Gals."
He wasn't at all worried cause there was no one chasing them cept a wolf. Which begged the question, what happened to the gun wielding guy? And the big green aliens?

(Sorry for not posting for s few days, I was busy)
I breathed heavily, my body reached its limit well over an hour ago, I was barely conscious, but still I ran,"Whatever... you.... do... don't, let them.... catch you..."I gasped between breaths,"trust me... you'd rather be.... dead..."
-
(( gah I need to pester Traycon into posting, Im curious as to what would happen if he ran into Ax at this point... ))
-
((t3 has been studying for finals since Thursday, and still has finals today and Wed, so no posting on my end. Plus, death and destruction to all *coughfawkscough* who disturb me. Plus, I've got an hour drive ahead of me on top of all that.
I should, hopefully, be available either Wed night or Thursday morning. Maybe. Depends on if my brain is functioning that well.))
-
(( Meh Death and Destruction... I get that every day XP))

<<Wonderful... they all are grouped together..that should make this soooo much easier.>> Stephen thinks sarcastically.
<<Right... but they have to separate eventually, and that's when we will have our chance to get him.>> Zaphod replies.
<< As long as that happens in less then two hours... and with all the ruckus that's been caused, along with our astoundingly bad luck lately the only way I think this could get worse is if we just stumble upon an andilite. That would really make my day.>>
<<And most likely end it too.>> Zaphod sighs, trying to stay somewhat hidden in the brush as he stalks after the humans, relaying slightly on the wolf's own instincts for stalking prey.
<< You do know with all that they have seen its only a matter of time before they open their mouths and end up controllers right?>>
<<All the more reason why they can't know that you can morph.>>
(( I don't know if any of ya'll do this but for private thought speak or thinking while In morph I typically use double <'s to signify it. so yeah they are thinking to each other not using thought speak <.<;; ))
-
He saw the wolf and wondered, where was the rest of the pack animals? Hm. "I'm going to see if anyone is following us." He scampered up the tree and towards the wolf. With a bunch of rocks he pelted the ground near the wolf to see how it would react.
When is a wolf not a wolf? When there are huge green things walking around.
-
<<Oi! What was that?>> Stephen says to Zaphod
Zaphod looks at the stone quizzically and sniffs it before turning his head to the next stone as it hits the ground, growling softly at it. <<Great first we get blind sighted by Tia falling from the sky, now a kid wants to toss pebbles at us...>> He noses one of them, as if expecting them to just jump up on their own. Trying to seem as confused as a normal wolf would be before just giving up interest and picking up the trail again.
<<Someone suspects something...>>
<<Bah, the only ones who would even be able to really tell would have killed us by now. Besides what's the worst a group of children can do against a wolf? >>
-
Alexander followed the wolf from above. Should he kill the wolf? Suspicious things were happening. This wolf may or may not be one of them.
-
(( awwww why do you want to kill a wolf...))
-
((Human safety above all? If you became a squirrel I'm sure people are less likely to attack squirrels. *giggle* Anyways, no attack wolf?))
-
(( I don't know how well Karate/Martial Arts would work against one especially if its like idk ripping into your arm <.<;; *summons the courage to pester Traycon* Im kinda waiting on her/Ax to intervene randomly and just really make this interesting XD ))
-
((Hmmm....well actually if he were to kill the wolf, he'd use a sharpened stick and snap it's neck. .....
*hrm* we'll see)
-
((Sorry. Finals were a killer, so my brain sorta imploded for a bit. Then with the holiday season, RAF going down, shopping, RAF going down, painting a mural for my parents, and RAF going down, it was kinda hard to get on. But RAF's back up and my parents are napping, which means computer time for t3!!! XD
Still not done with the mural, though... :-[
Oh, and if this looks familiar, yes, yes I did copy-paste it from the other RP. ;D
And don't kill Steph. That's Tia's job...When Norpo actually lets her do it...))
Ax had watched most of the proceedings. However, he found the encounter between the seemingly only two human Controllers the most curious. While the male had originally shot the female, acting as if he was angered with her, he had then left.
When the female seemed to realize she was in the clear, which involved something that Marco had described as "looking like a fish" once--though the reference to an aquatic creature was slightly lost on him--she had proceeded to retrieve her fallen weapon. Then she disappeared. Literally. Ax assumed that it was either the power whom had originally brought her to the forest in the first place or a hologram. Neither option sounded pleasant.
So, unsure of what to do next, he began after the visible human Controller. And found something unexpected.
The Controller could morph.
The Controller could morph.
Ax's mind was reeling from the shock. Surely the Yeerks had not obtained a blue box. And they were not techologically advanced to even begin to create one. Or so he hoped.
He didn't even notice that he was backing up slightly as his mind recoiled in shock.
<I think we've managed to move a whole 10 feet!> Tia snapped at Norpo as they waited for the hologram to reassess its surroundings. <Remind me again why we don't just, oh, I don't know, WALTZ AWAY LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED??? Like that overgrown nimord would ever notice...>
<Actually, you know exactly what would happen. We'd try and waltz away, and the next thing you know, we'd run headlong into an Andalite. Just relax and let my hologam do its work.>
<The same hologram that has to copy its surroundings every step, which takes a whole thirty seconds?!>
Norpo closed her eyes in frustration, rubbing them with her left hand, which was finally starting to get the feeling back in it. <We'd be better off getting the boy away from the Yeerks at the pool than out in the--> "Oof," he muttered as his host's body plowed into something big. And blue. And...
"OH ******!" Tia swore, saying one of the few Taxxon words she could actually pronounce. The holographic emitter fell to the ground lightly, snapping off the second her right thumb left the button. She backed up, trying to get her fingers to work well enough to grab the Dracon beam from the back of her pants. They were well within range of being heard by the small group of humans, let alone being seen by them.
"Hehe..." She smiled and said something to him in Andalite akin to "Nice Andalite. Pretty Andalite. Please don't kill me..."
Ax turned his almond-shaped green eyes towards the thing that had hit him. After a second, the hologram fell and he realized it was the human from earlier. He lifted his tailblade. <You will tell me what is going on here right now, or I will remove your head from your body.>
"Uh...err...well. Um. See...I really have no idea. This really isn't my area of expertise. I just kinda fell from the sky earlier because my assistant is a back-stabbing dapsen with dilusions of godhood." The Andalite language flowed from her mouth, switching to Yeerkish about the time she said the word "dapsen". "Maybe, uh...my good friend Zaphod can help." She sucked in a breath through gritted teeth when she felt the blade press closer on her neck. A small trickle of blood ran down, dribbling onto her shoulder.
<I will only ask you one more time. I suggest you be truthful with me. Why are you after that boy? And how did the Yeerks aquire the morphing power?> His voice was quiet, but he could tell his threat had made the Controller think twice before she answered.
-
(Yay! you're back!)
I couldn't stay awake, I needed to stay awake or I would be caught, I needed to stay focused on something, I began reciting the periodic table of elements, stating if they were liquid, solid, or a gas and whether they were radioactive or not, I didn't get to far before I stumbled over my words. N o use, my body was numb, my limbs felt like they were filled with lead. My vision went black...
(Shoot, where was tobias again? I forgot where I last left him...)
-
(( yay stuff happening :D I will post about it in the morning :D ))
-
Zaphod perks his ears up as he sighs mentally << Great... you just had to jinx an Andalite into existence didn't you?>>
<<Well we can't just let them die... they're one of the few movement members we actually trust.>> Stephen pauses for a moment before just going on a hunch and a prayer <Oi! Andalite she really doesn't know a thing, but if you want any hope of saving the kid you better cool it ok?>
<<What are you doing?!?>> Zaphod shouts at Stephen in protest.
<< Just calm down and watch.>> Stephen replies, < I mean you wouldn't want something to befall someone who I think is aiding you, that family of veterinarians that live near here. It's just too convenient that five of these so called Andalite Bandits are never even seen in their true form. And someone has to supply them with animals to morph from, I've seen a pack of wolves running from there before and other strange groupings from near there. Maybe they can help flush out where you hide? But only you would know that wouldn't you?> he keeps himself hidden in the brush the best he can, watching the Andalite and trying to read his reaction.
-
Alexander watched and watched and stopped himself from gaping. Wow. Now this was way more fun than meditation. He climbed a bit higher to see the scene more clearly.
That was a wicked tail.
He readied a rock. They could be in leagues and this was all a leadership dispute. Those little eyes on stalks could be knocked off with a well aimed hit.
-
((Isn't Tobias retrieving the other Anis? ???))
Ax swung a stalk-eye towards the voice. It could only be coming from the Controller-morphed-wolf. He knew that he could easily kill the female Controller, and perhaps even dispose of the wolf before he got too far, but who knew whom else the Controller had told about his theory. He could not risk the lives of his friends. Not until he knew more. <What do you suggest?> the Andalite asked tersely, still keeping his tail-blade pressed against the woman's throat.
<Something's wrong,> Tia said to Norpo as she watched the Andalite's main eyes narrow. She had heard Stephan's theory--since only Stephan would be stupid enough to actually tell the Andalite about his theory. Though the inclusion of her back-door neighbors was a bit of news to her.
<Oh, ya think?> Norpo mulled over what Stephan had said. <The Andalite's probably worried about whether or not they told anyone else about their little theory. You know, besides us.>
<Yeah. Well, all I know is that Steph owes me a beer after this. If it weren't for our intervening, he would be in a whole mess of trouble.>
<You mean worse than the trouble we're all currently in?> Norpo inquired. His host just humphed and stayed quiet. He settled back, waiting to hear what the two would propose.
-
< Well... for starters how about moving that tail blade of yours to a less threatening position. After that we can discuss what should be done about the boy. It would be so unfortunate if the andalite bandits happened to ambush and capture him...> He says slightly softer trying to keep the conversation between the 3 of them.
<< Woah woah woah, I know you love the work the peace movement does, but Visser three is going to be out for blood if we don't get him back.>> Zaphod shouts at his host.
<< Aye, but we have plenty of scapegoats to use and maybe we can find a little more information about these "Bandits". That could aid us and the peace movement.>> Stephen replies coolly
-
Not exactly privy to a private conversation Alexander didn't know what was going on but he did know something was going on. He decided, screw it all and jumped down from his high perch.
"Hi. I'm wondering. Are any of you invading the Earth?"
-
(Right, sorry all the holiday parties I went to sort of drained me, one on Christmas eve, then on Christmas day, then the day after... and it is considered rude to sleep through a family gathering....)
(Don't the yeerk peace movement already know everything about the animorphs?)
<I'm back> came Tobias's thought speak from the sky, only Ax could hear of course. Four other birds were scattered across the sky above, but far enough away that you wouldn't suspect anything unless you knew what was going on.
<Ax, would you mind filling us in?> Jake asked,<If you're able to in your current situaion...>
-
( Aye, I think they do for the most part but I never played Zaphod as a not so trust worthy member of the YPM, he's in it but actually has low intelligence clearance within them. And on top of that he may have been told but didn't really care to pay attention. I could go back and edit it if you think it needs it. )
-
((Actually, they don't. Only people Aftran trusted were entrusted with the full information about the Anis, I think. Or that's always been my opinion.))
-
(It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anyway...)
-
Ax narrowed his eyes, but he moved his tail-blade far away enough that it wasn't exactly at the woman's neck.
"Guess it depends on your definition of 'invading'." She flashed a big grin.
<We have a problem, Prince Jake,> Ax responded, relieved to hear his prince's voice. <There is a Controller who has the ability to morph. And he has, at the moment, simply stated a theory about Cassie. However, I am afraid that he might have obtained actual proof.>
As Ax spoke, Norpo rolled her eyes. "She's not invading; I'm not invading. He's also not planning on invading."
"At least not currently," Tia added darkly.
-
<<We have company...>> Zaphod informs his host noticing a few birds fluttering in.
<< Wonderful... just wonderful...>> Stephen sighs, keeping himself as well hidden as possible. <So Andalite what do you say? Are you going to aid me or just sit there and talk to the birds?>
-
Ax swung a stalk-eye, trying to locate the source of the voice. <Besides releasing your...companion, what do you want?> He sounded annoyed, to say the least.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Tia mimicked, raising her eyebrows. "I mean, besides getting this dorsmhal to let me go." She jerked her thumb at the Andalite, smirking satisfactorily at the look on his face at the insult.
-
Alexander clapped his hands together. "So what is Earth? A zoo? Or rather....dumping ground for the criminally insane?" He pointed to the wolf and the other girl.
What was with the birds? So many different kinds in one place. Yep. Aliens.
-
((hmmm where am i..))
-
(Sorry, I haven't been on because of mid-terms, my mom until she gets my grades back proving I did well on the mid terms I couldn't go on the computer... I got my report card a few days ago... Hope I"m not bumping... Jeez she never has done that before with anything, and so suddenly I didn't have a chance ot say something...)
(Ugh, it has been so long I forgot what was happening...)
