((Profile then
 Name: "The Man"
 Age: 45
 Species: Unknown (formerly human)

The only thing he knows is what happened to him. A man who suffered a brain injry as a construction worker, his life changed. He was close to death, in fact his heart stopped and he had an out-of-body experience. However, part of his mind contacted Crayak. This trauma shocked him back to life, yet he was no longer in his body. He had also acquired limited ammounts of Crayak's power.))

I looked at the girl quizzically.
<I morphed. Don't you know about morphing? Almost EVERYONE has access to that technology. For almost two hours at a time, I can become any living creature that I can touch. In a little while, I'll be human again.>





(Xan, please be VERY CAREFUL not to turn into a Gary-Sue. Make sure that his Crayak-power is VERY limited. I'll allow a certain amount of time-stopping and telekinesis, but I don't want a demi-God in our RPG. Thanks.)
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

"I must be dreaming," I said. Everything suddenly made sense. Of course! It was a dream. People obviously couldn't turn into animals, and they most certainly couldn't freeze time. It was all a dream. But it felt so real. Perhaps this was all a hallucination.

"A hallucination," I thought aloud. But somehow the answer just didn't feel right. The cat tilted her head to the side quizically, which made me feel even worse.

If you are not in my avatar, and would like to be, or if you changed your name and avatar and would like me to update it, PM me. I cannot add or change anyone at the moment as I lost the file I use for this, but if people still want in, I'll work on it.

I wrinkled my nose in disgust.

"I'm a girl, thank you. And you had better start explaining to me how this is possible. First I woke up in the back of some alley with no idea how I got there. Then, some crazy man with a gun started chasing me and screaming, "Die Yeerks!" Now, everything is frozen, people are turning into animals, and everyone is talking nonsense. This has to be a hallucination."

<Kid, you aren't really in a position to threaten anyone. Pay attention: I can morph, that guy can stop time, and nobody here is hallucinating, as far as I know. If you like, I'll bite you and prove that you're awake.>
I yawned, baring sharp little cat teeth.
<There's no point in trying to understand it all right now. Let's just get someplace where there AREN'T bullets flying.>

I jumped up and trotted for the door, which was frozen open.
<Anyone coming?>

"I would insure, child, that you are out of the path of the bullets before I leave. Remember these words though. You were brought here for a reason, much as the original ones were brought together. Was it a coincidence they decided to cut through that construction sight or was it the workings of others?"

I walked towards the door fading from sight.

Still confused, I followed the strange talking cat to the door, still trying to process all of this information. So... Apparently, these people had the ability to morph into animals, and the strange man in the room had the ability to freeze time. Two questions answered. I still had many, many more.

But there was one question that wouldn't leave my mind, wouldn't leave me alone: Who were these "Yeerks"? These strange people had failed to answer that question, though they had answered the others I had asked. It was as if they were afriad to answer.

I headed out the door, the girl's friends, who hadn't said a word the entire time, following behind me.

"Umm......." I said softly. "What just happened? One second I hear gun shots and screaming so I instantly put up a hologram to cover us then Ais jumps out and suddenly the girl that was about to get shot seemingly teleports to safety next Ais.

At least that's what it looked like, but that impossible. Even Andalites haven't developed something that advanced yet. Certainly not on a personal scale or with that reaction time. Did I miss something?"

((OOC: My character was frozen in time with everything else during Xan's visit.))

(Even though they aren't biological, let's assume that the Chee can hear thought-speak. I don't recall if it was or wasn't so in the books.)

<You were frozen, then, I guess. This guy came in and stopped time, right before he disappeared. Then, this as-yet-unnamed girl started asking why I was a cat, who the Yeerks are, things like that. I don't think that she's from around here, and if she TRULY knows NOTHING, we can't just let her wander out into the city. If she doesn't know about morphing, obviously she cannot morph, so she is as good as defenseless. Norin, do you maybe have a place that we can go to explain everything without interruption or eavesdroppers?>

I turned to face the strange girl behind me.
<You'd best come with us. This city isn't safe for someone who doesn't know what they're doing, and it would be unkind of us to leave you alone in the middle of it. I want to help you. What is your name?>

I looked down at the floor and bit my lip. "Leah," I said with a sigh. I had wanted to keep my name a secret, but no other name would come to mind. And hiding my identity wouldn't help me, anyway. I didn't feel comfortable around these people. I didn't want to trust them, but I did. I just hoped things wouldn't turn out like last time.

<Alright, Leah. We're going to find a safe place for you to stay tonight, and we can get you some food, a shower, and some explanations. How does that sound?>

I smiled at the idea. Until just then, I hadn't really thought of any of those things. "It sounds wonderful. Thank you, Ais?" I said, hoping I had remembered her name correctly. "And sorry for the way I behaved earlier," I added.

((FRICK MAN! I missed a LOT! How do I jump back in?!)

Stunned, I sat there, wondering what on earth was going on. Trying to understand what was going on around me, I heard one girl ask if anyone was coming, and I stood up, and dusted myself off.

"Is it alright if I come? I have absolutely no clue who or what anything is, especially THAT guy," I said as I pointed to the man with the gun. I looked around, waiting for an answer. "I'm Edward, by the way." I said, a bit nervous of...  everyone, actually.

I blinked in surprise, staring at the new person. He was tall. had brown hair and green eyes, and spoke with a strange accent. I narrowed my eyes as I studied his features. He looked so familiar. It was as if I had actually SEEN this man before. But where?

I ignored the thuoght. Right now, it didn't matter. I decided it would be best if I kept my mouth shut and waited for Ais's reply.
