Our Summer Vacation...

[radgeek]

A few run-ins, Olivia thought.  Ok the bird is meant to be a distraction.  She knew that the best course of action as to hand inspect the blue cube that was so odd under X-ray.  "Stay back!"  she shouted at the girl trying to approach.  "I might have something dangerous here."  She reached into the backpack and took the box almost dropping instantly because she felt a shock go up her arm.

The parrot was going crazy over the weird blue box thing.  For some reason, Kristin thought the bird was trying to protect it and get it away from the customs lady.  "Davey" seemed ready to pounce on the woman to take the box away.  Even though she thought it was completely crazy, she got the feeling that the "Davey" and the kid who had the blue box were somehow connected.  And the parrot was in on it too.  I can't believe I am going to do this, Kristin thought to herself.  While the two boys seemed highly suspicious, she didn't feel any sort of malicious intent behind their suspicious natures.

She turned her head to "Davey" and said, "On the count of three, I'm going to get that box.  Go long and I'll throw it to you."

The parrot turned his head and gave a weird nod, almost as if he was agreeing with her. 

"One...two...THREE!"

Kristin pretended to trip into the woman, grabbing the blue box in the confusion.  She felt a weird tingling running up her arm but ignored it.  She raised her arm back and launched the blue box through the air at "Davey."  As soon as the box left her hand, Kristin grabbed the parrot and ran after "Davey."

"Brian, you can't trust.."  Jo said as the two ran past.  She had to run after them.  Ms. Russ will likely follow so I'll demorph along the way.
Olivia had another agent watch Chad while she ran off after the box and the bird.

[Josh (J)]

Oh, why is there so much going on? I wish my life could be simple again. He wanted to bolt after the blue cube, the girl, Brian, Jo, and Tarry. Just about everybody was there! At least he was hopefully off the hook of the cube. He turned to the other lady and said, "Can I, like, you know, go?"

[Hawkgirl]

Kristin had just caught up to "Davey."  Still running, she stole a quick glance over her shoulder.  What she saw made her run even faster.  They were being pursued by the customs lady and her clone.  The boy who got stopped at customs was being held by another customs agent.  She looked back at the twin women and thought she saw the features on the one start to change.  However, Kristin whipped her head around and kept running.

"Hey kid!  I'm gonna go get your friend back at customs.  Try to get somewhere safe.  If I can free your friend, I'll meet you outside," Kristin said to the boy running alongside her.

"I don't know if you can understand me, Mr. Parrot, but if you can, fly after Davey." 

The bird took flight as Kristin turned and got lost in a crowd and went into the nearest bathroom.  After a few minutes, she poked her head out to see no sign of either look alike woman.  Making sure the coast was clear, Kristin made her way back to the boy stopped at customs.  Let's hope I learned something from that acting class, Kristin thought.  As she neared the agent, Kristin started to cry. 

"Excuse me sir, but I lost my little sister.  Can you please help me?" Kristin sobbed to the agent.  While the agent's back was turned, she mouthed "RUN!" to the boy.  The agent looked around for someone to cover for him and in that moment, Kristin kneed him in his family jewels.  "GO GO GO!" She yelled at the boy before sprinting away.

Chad didn't know why the girl would be doing it, but he took the cue. Grabbing the blue cube, he ran as fast as he could towards Brian and Tarry. But he stopped, backtracked, and went to the girl and quickly said, "You'd better come with me."

[Hawkgirl]

(OOC I think Brian has the blue cube)

Kristin took the boy's cue and ran after him.  "Hey!  I'm Kristin," she panted while running as fast as she could away from the agent who she just assaulted.

[Josh (J)]

OOC: Oh, yeah, I think he got it now, right?

IC:

Chad nodded and said, "I'm Chad. And...I think you know a bit of what's going on. Why'd you help me?"

[Hawkgirl]

"I have absolutely no idea what is going on," Kristin replied truthfully.  "I just know that a bunch of confusing things are going on, a bird talked to me, and I saw what I think is a clone."  Kristin was dodging people left and right, trying to avoid the angry customs agent.  "I just got the feeling that you and the other boy, Davey, weren't out to hurt anyone.  I know it sounds crazy but I think there is definitely something big going on here, but you two aren't the bad guys."

Josefina demorphed as she ran.  The first change was her hair.  The tight bun she had coiled Ms. Rush's thin blond hair into burst as her own thick black hair replaced it.  Her skin darkened to her shade.  She kept on Brian's tail as she became taller.
"Wait up.  It's me Jo," she shouted.
She began to slow down as bones changed shape.  Then really slowed down when one leg grew faster than the other.

[Unknown User]

Tarry flew after the humans, trying to guide them a little, though he was only like a foot higher than them and certianly not that much help. Tarry was quickly learning to hate human houses, they were cramped enclosed structures. What kind of sensible creature would wish to stay in one. <We must escape quickly, if their are yeerks here, and their surely are in such a place as this, then they may have seen the Escafil device and will be after us soon.>

"Wait, what? ...Ah! Don't do that!" Brian shouted as he turned to find Jo behind him. She must have morphed a person.... That was a whole new level of creepy. "Uh... It's nice to chat, but I don't think waiting is a good idea right now. You're twin is coming; She doesn't look to happy with us. Go figure." Brian kept running, now beside Jo. He dropped his suitcase when he caught the morphing cube. Things were getting crazy. That would mean he needed a crazy idea, which he had. "Uh.. I'll be right back!" He shouted at Jo and Tarry as he ran into the men's room. It was kinda silly to think that such a simple social barrier would save the entire human race. Maybe....

Sean, who was pretty sure that he wasn't connected to the craziness, casually walked over and picked up the luggage that the others had left. It was kinda heavy all together, but he could handle it. He wasn't sure what to do... he had already lost sight of the kids. With no better plan, he went to the front and sat on one of the benches. The others would find him he hoped. He kicked his feet up on the little table and drank his coffee quietly.

[radgeek]

I might be able to run past the washroom before I'm caught, Jo reasoned as her legs evened out.  But soon she herlther self pinned to the ground by Mr. Rush.

Even Olivia could not believe it until she had captured the morphing girl.  "Two minutes ago you looked just like me.  Now you look like that Canadian I checked from this boat.  Care to explain?"

  Brian ran into the restroom, and was somewhat surprised by the way people were carrying on as normal. 'Normal' just seemed so weird now. Discreetly, he slipped the cube into his backpack and went over to wash his hands. He was at a sink right by the door way. Carefully, he watched the mirror until he saw what he needed. Brian suddenly shut off the water, and dashed for the door, and collided into a slightly older guy with a five o'clock shadow. The two tumbled to the ground. Perfect. "I'm so sorry! I should have been paying more attention... Here, let me help you up." Brian reached out to give his hand to the man he knocked over, and looked him in the eye. "I'm really sorry for this." He says, meaning it. The guy looks kinda dazed momentarily, then mumbles a response and walks out of the restroom, rubbing his eye. Brian turned around and went into one of the larger handicapped stalls. And then he morphed.
  This is weird. Okay, never mind, that's the understatement of the century, he thought. The changes were subtle but there nonetheless. First, his limbs and torso stretched out, just a little, and then his stomach bulged out. Oh well that's swell.... His hair grew shorter than it already was and darkened to black. His jaw stuck out a little, then started to sprout coarse scratchy hairs. That's just bizarre. Eventually, the shifting and changing stopped. His clothes still fit, though his pants were a little tighter, and his shirt didn't quite cover his belly. Brian tried to pull it down some more, but it wouldn't cover that last inch or so. He adjusted the back pack straps, and waited a minute or so... after he was sure no one would notice he wasn't the kid who'd gone into the stall, he left the men's room and tried to find Jo, or anyone else.
  Brian walked quickly down the halls, not sure where to turn. He found himself in the front of the building, where he saw Sean. "I have the cube." he said.

Sean's eyes widened when the stranger spoke to him. What?!? he was thinking. Then he tried to maintain his composure and look like he wasn't interested. "I'm sorry sir, you must have me confused for someone else. I already have all my luggage...."

Brian smacked his forehead... Duh! "Mr. Black! It's me, Brian! I know it's weird, but you've gotta take it. Here." Brian handed the cube over and turned to walk away.

Sean blinked... "Oh. You uh... look different with a beard." He was actually pretty stunned by the concept, but he tried to just go with it.

"I don't know how you old guys stand it... it's so itchy!"

[Hawkgirl]

Kristin kept running with Chad at her side.  "Head for that crowd of people!" Kristin said.  The pair began dodging and weaving through the mass of people in the hopes of losing the customs agent.  As the crowd thinned out, Kristin stole a glance over her shoulder to see if they were still being followed.  Before she could turn her head around, Kristin was lying flat on her back on the floor.  She looked up to see that she had ran into an older man with a beard who was carrying a backpack.  "Sorry sir, I didn't mean to run into you.  Please forgive me," Kristin stammerred, noticing that the man's belly was peaking out from under his shirt.  Her head ached from the impact on the floor and she was a bit dizzy.
