RAF Can Morph! (Read Introduction Before Posting)

[Blazing Angel]

<This itself isnt the weapon. It will give you my greatest technology. You will have the power to turn into any animal you touch. And as for why you?  By the tie anyone else got here it would be too late. This blue box will give you the power to save your race. If you do not accept the power it will be destroyed when my ship self destructs and you will continue your ordinary lives until the yeerks take over your world.>

[TobiasMasonPark]

     "Self destruct?!" I cried. "That thing has a bomb in it?"

[Terenia]

I frown, perplexed.

"You mean....like, turn into animals?" She has to admit, the idea sounds pretty cool, if not entirely unbelievable. She glances at the other boys to see if they're buying the story. She certainly doesn't want to be the first person to make a decision like this. Especially because something is nagging at her...

"How do you know one of us doesn't have these...bugs...in our head?" I asked with a frown.

[Blazing Angel]

<I know none of you are controllers because the instant you saw me you would have called for backup or attempted to strangle me. And by self destruct I mean that once I pass the morphing power on to you I will have my ship explode inside a force field. If the yeerks get me they won't kill me. They will make me a controller. So do you accept this power and the responsibility that comes with it?> At the final sentence I stared into each of their eyes in turn. I saw shock fear excitement.

     It was a lot to take in.

     Apparently, we were smack in the middle of some intergalactic war between some slugs and blue centaurs. Not only that, but now the same blue centaur who just landed right in the middle of our small town was offering us some bizarre power; a power that would supposedly give us the power to turn into animals.

     As terrified as I was--especially about the whole "my ship's pretty much going to blow up" bit-- I had to admit, the idea was astounding! I mean, assuming none of this wasn't an elaborate prank--you ever see Ashton Kutcher's punk'd?-- then that meant I could be a hawk, or a dog or...

     "What about people?" I asked the alien. "Could we morph other people? Members of our race?"

[RAFrukh]

I thought about the connotation of what he said...we were being invaded by aliens. Parasitic aliens. That control your body. He was offering us a chance to fight back.

My choices were either leave that much alone and get infested eventually, or fight back and probably get infested still...but if we succeed, I have a name for myself...and maybe some self confidence.

"I'm in.", I blurted, "What do I do?"

[Cobra (Gymn)]

"Become Animals?" I said under my breath. I have to admit that animals were my main interest as a kid. I mainly read animal books. But fight invaders? I was torn that technology would be great but could I fight alien invaders? Then again I felt that I had a duty to the world because I was here. I had always heard not to sit back and now I chose not to.
"I'll do it."

[Blazing Angel]

<yes you could become other members of your race for purposes of disguise. We have two yes'es what about the rest of you?>

[TobiasMasonPark]

     (Lmfao. Alright, a little un-Andalite, but whatever.)

     I thought about what this alien was offering me. And I liked what he was saying.

     Yea, I know. You're thinking what are you, an idiot? Did you forget the teensy weensy part about MIND CONTROLLING ALIENS?

     I think, looking back, I deluded myself with the idea that I knew what I was getting into. The whole morphing idea...It was too much to pass up.

     Oddly enough, I found myself grinning. "I'm in."

[Blazing Angel]

<ok the rest of you>

((I hope we dont have to keep the roleplay on pause until they come back on.))

[TobiasMasonPark]

     (Just try not to overpost. Bear and Teach want to stay in the loop. They say they'll try to pop in every so often)

[Terenia]

"Are you guys serious?" I looked around at the strangers around me. "Are you even thinking about this? No way is this our problem. We're just kids. It isn't our job to save the world or whatever. We don't know anything about these aliens or this technology."

My eyes darted from person to person, looking for support. I didn't want to seem like a coward, but they were clearly not thinking this decision through.

[TobiasMasonPark]

     "Then you can go." I said, quietly. "But, look, do you think you'll be able to go back to your bed, with your family and look at life the same way? Do you think you could stand knowing that humanity is pretty much doomed?"

[Terenia]

"If this is even true," I countered, eyebrows drawing together in frustration. "If this isn't some elaborate hoax or something. How do we know that this alien isn't the bad guy?"

I could feel my cheeks growing hot with embarrassment as I argued. I hated being the center of attention, especially if it was because of dissent. This seemed like one situation where I had to speak up though.

[RAFrukh]

I tried to reason with her as I had thought it through.

"Would you rather be captured? Or go out fighting? At least this way we can have a chance at winning."
