[Myitt]

"Yeah?" Corliss replies flatly, not particularly caring if it reaches her or not. 

Although the pool communications array's signal is fainter outside the ship, the range does carry his reply back to Terenia.

[Terenia]

<Corliss, could I....> she hesitates, feeling a bit awkward about what she is about to ask. It is a huge invasion of privacy, but she can't think of another way to soothe her paranoia.

<Corliss, could I speak to Mike, please?> she asks. <Alone?>

[Myitt]

"Why?" he replies sullenly.  "I'll just find out whatever it is you want to say, anyway."

<Oh, will you quit acting like a child?> Mike demands.

"He wants to know if you want to speak to him inside his head," Corliss sighs.  "As in, literally inside his head."

<No I do-> Mike starts.  <I didn't...I don't want to, mate, I was just wondering what she meant by-->

"So which is it?" Corliss says with all the gusto of someone about to rip off a band-aid.  "Would you like me to leave, or would you like for you and I to switch places?"

[Terenia]

<I don't know,> Terenia says, frustrated. <But you off and tell me that you feel that way about me, and what about him? He's in on this too, and he deserves a say, right?>

Not that it matters, she reminds herself. Who cares how either of them feel, when you're stuck in sludge for who knows how long?

[Myitt]

Corliss laughs, standing up and brushing off his uniform.  "Well, how do you reckon he feels about you?  He snogged you on his own, he's probably half the reason I'm so confused."

He steps into the ship and heads for the pool room.  "Besides," he continues, "we don't even know if the feeling is mutual."

Corliss stops by the pool, gripping the lip of the metal tub and trying to find Terenia's squid-swimming form in the gray, murky ripples. 

[Chad32]

Claxter was disappointed at being ignored, but he didn't prod his Prince. He didn't really know what was going on with Ossanlin, so he would wait. He went back to Silver, and continued drinking. <I suppose he is feeling introverted lately.> He said quietly.


"That's them." Derrel whispered to Illim. He was surprised that both aliens...Andalites had walked into the bar while they were gone. Illim seemed nervous around them, so derrel certainly didn't want to get their attention. He ordered a drink and sat by Illim.

[Terenia]

<You know I care about you, Corliss,> Terenia says. She scrunch-thrusts in agitation. <I just don't want you...or Mike...to get hurt on account of me. And I need to make sure that Mike understands what me caring about you means.>

[Myitt]

Corliss smirks down at the pool surface.  "Who knows?" he replies.  "Perhaps your luck will change, if you come with us.  We're very good at keeping bad things from happening from us.  Well..."  He shrugs.  "Most of the time." 

He swallows anxiously.  "Do you...still want to talk to Mike?"

[Midnight_Huntress]

(hi so sorry been sick DX I baby read through all that as I'm still sick.)

Silver shook her head. "it can't be overloaded. It takes my illusions and makes them real. It was...one of my test gifts. Its just a wooden staff through and through. The first time I tried practicing attacks with it I burned my leg. It surprised me. And no matter where I leave it its where I need it the most. But....I didn't give that shock attack I merely bumped it..." she said holding the staff in her hands.

[Chad32]

<I do not know enough about your abilities or their origins to really give informed advice. Hopefully things will work out.>

[Midnight_Huntress]

"What's even worse is I've had these...'gifts' since I was...maybe 6? And I'm still learning...." she sighed and took a drink. She began to tap her fingernails on the table. She rested her chin in her hand and became lost in thought. The CG screwed up her life enough but she was sure that what ever they had planned for her was going awry now. She became so lost in thought she didn't notice the sparks zipping from her fingertips as they tapped the table. Tap...zap... Fizz.

[Terenia]

<Yes,> Terenia says after a brief hesitation. <I know you want me to trust you, but he needs to have a say too. I know how you feel, now I need to know how he feels.> She does not mention that she feels dirty at the mere suggestion of their switching positions, however briefly. Something about it feels utterly wrong. <Unless you can find me another temporary host so that I can talk to him...>

[Myitt]

Corliss shakes his head.  "You could...well, I could simply leave him and you could aim your thought-speech at him alone, right?" he says, rubbing the back of his neck.  

<Look, either way, will you lot make a decision?> Mike says anxiously.  <It's tiring thinking about all of this switching round, if it's going to happen let's get on with it.>

Corliss hesitates, then says, "If you'd rather switch places, Mike is willing to cooperate."  He smiles bitterly.  "What better way to know how he feels?"

[KitsuneMarie]

"Them them, or just other Andalites?" Illim demands of Derrel.

<Your worries are foolhardy,> Serid remarks blandly. <No one here has reason to recognize us.>

<No,> Illim tells his host, <if our mug is populating the bounty list, then anyone might come after us. New bounties, especially those who cause as much damage as we did, are featured. We're probably considered terrorists now.>

[Chad32]

"Yeah, those two were on the ship I was in." Derrel said quietly as he watched the two. claxter noticed he and Ossanlin were being watched, and looked at the two Humans with his stalk eyes. At first Derrel though he was looking away because his main eyes were looking at Silver, but then he noticed the stalks, and jerked his head away.

Claxter was actually looking at Silver's fingers making static on the table, and took a tentative step backwards. <Have you ever looked into the origins of your powers? Talks to, or interrogated, the people who gave them to you? It could be dangerous to you and your allies. Then again, it may be no big deal.>
