Okay, I want in now.

PERSNALITY:  Hostile and arrogant to new people. Assumes he knows more than everyne cause he's been around longer.
LOVE INTEREST(S):  Estelore, Claire
POTENTIAL RIVAL(S):  Shanker, Ken, Jax
POTENTIAL MORTAL NEMISIS(...S):  Shanker
POTENTIAL EVIL TWIN:  Claire



God I was drunk. I mean like, really drunk. You know how it feels to be drunk? Well add around 14 more drunks onto that and you'll feel like I did.

It was hard to tell, but I think I was still in the bar. I mumbled something, and the bartender brought me another drink? Had I asked for one? Whatever, maybe I did, maybe I didn't. In any case, I glorped it down like there was no tomorrow.

After I had decided that after 4 more drinks I would probably kill this body from alcohol poisoning, I ordered 3 more drinks. Midway through the second, I felt a lot of heat on my back, and I looked back to see what looked like a giant chicken on fire through the haze. For some reason the chicken decided that it didn't want to be on fire anymore, and became a pretty broad. The lady sat down (maybe on a chair, maybe on a french bulldog, I don't know) and started eating something.

"Hey sexy!" I yelled, probably a bit too loudly.

"Miss, this pie is amazing! Thanks!" I started to devour the remains of the peach pie, when I heard a drunken voice behind me slur,
"Hey sexy!"

I wasn't sure if the guy meant me, so I turned around. He was staring blearily at me, so I responded.
"Hey, inebriated biped!"

Bike Head? "Hey, who the shell ur yi cln a bike hyead?" I asked calmly and coolly. I left the body, feeling completely sober once more.

After a moment's thought, I realized what she had said. "Oh, biped! Sorry, I was a little...preoccupie d, over there,"  explained. Looking at her through sober eyes I could see that I  definately wasn't mistaken when I assumed she was attractive.

I was startled to find that the...erm...inebria ted biped...was actually under the control of a spectral being.
"Ghost" was the popular term, according to my translator chip.
"So...you are a 'ghost', then? How interesting! What is your name, sir?"

"Tyler," I said, putting out a hand (but not making it tangible. I always laugh when people can't touch me). "Tyler Thomson, to be exact. And what might your name  be, ma lady?" I asked, putting on my sexiest voice.

The fellow appeared to still be a bit tipsy, despite his immaterial state. I extended my hand and converted its heat energy into ectoplasmic energy, allowing me to shake hands with the ghost instead of passing through him.
Sometimes it is truly fun to be a star.

Was I still drunk, or was she shaking my hand? I remembered the fire around her from earlier, when she was a chicken. "I'll just call you Estelore, if ya don't mind. So, I saw the fireworks earlier. Are you by any chance a mutant or something?"

I laughed.
"No, I'm just the humanoid incarnation of the mind of a star. I'm not really any specific species, as far as my DNA is concerned, so I don't quite qualify as a mutant. I was designed and created, not born."

I stood in the shadows watching this ghost hit on the star, that I was just talking to. I turned to Jax, then to Jayne, then turned around and stalked off, into the night. He'll get whats coming to him.

God this one talks a lot, I thought. Incarnation of the mind of a star? What the hell does that mean?

"Sounds interesting," I said, smiling. "Thumbs up to the designer." I winked. Flirtation defice deployed.

"Mr. Thomson, if I didn't know better, I'd think that you were hitting on me!"
I winked back at him, turning on the charm that I had earned after spending nearly four millenia in this particular galaxy. Bipeds tend to react to me in a very predictable way. Especially MALE bipeds.
"So...what's a nice soul like you doing in a...well, in a place full of so much life? I understand what it is like to have all the time in the world...several worlds, in fact...but why would you choose to spend your time here, in particular? Were you buried nearby? Or perhaps were you cremated, with your ashes scattered in the general area?"

I suppressed a shudder at the thought of being DESTROYED by FIRE. It was unthinkable for me, since the greater part of my being WAS fire.
It was even worse to think of being shut away beneath the Earth's surface. So claustrophobic....

Hm, what to say, what to say, what to say, I thought. I wanted the conversation to go nice and smoothly, since I don't meet that many stars.

"Well, I did think about travel for a while after I died." I wanted to show off, so I took over the closest sober person I could find. if I played my cards right, he just might get lucky tonight. I leaned on a table, and felt around in the guy's pocket. He had a dollar coin on him, so I started flipping it impressively.

"But after a while you've sort of seen it all, you know? So I decided I'd just hang around here for  a bit (fifty years or so), and then see what I feel like then." I wanted to keep the conversation going, so I thought I'd tell her a bit about myself.

"As for my death, I got tagged in the Revolution. Yorktown, to be exact. My family was lucky enough to get the body, and they had me buried right here." I stomped on the floorboard that was just above my grave.

Wow. Trapped in a witch's bistro.
"Wow. Trapped in a witch's bistro for all eternity? It seems to me that you'd get bored awfully quickly. I rarely spend more than three life-cycles on any single planet, since I'm usually bored with the grandchildren of the first people that I meet on-planet. If you want to come to Insfrea with me, just let me know, and I'll exhume your...remains...an d take you along."
He apparently wasn't familiar with the word. Primitive planet....
"Insfrea is my 'home planet', if there is such a thing for somebody like me. I have a more-or-less permanent residence there. It is roughly thirty light-years from my larger self and sixty-five light-years from Earth (give or take a light-year), orbiting the star Aldebaran. Insfrea is lovely in the summer."

"Sounds like a lovely place," I said smoothly. "It got a pool?" I joked. I find the ladies love a good laugh, especially when talking to a dead guy.

"Oh, and as for the whole 'being trapped' thing? It ain't so bad. I read a lot, and I get free booze, so I'm not miserable all the time, mostly just drunk."

"The lakes are beautiful, provided you don't mind swimming in liquid methane. They have pools of water, too, but the residents of the planet find water toxic. I've never been drunk...alcohol tends to combust when I'm near."
