The Sharing: Rebellion From Within

[Chad32]

(I'm having internet problems, and this thread is going much faster than the other RPG I'm in. I think I'll just drop out. At least until I get my internet back at my home, and don't have to go to other places to access the internet.)

"What are you talking about?" Michael replied to Aurora. "There have been plenty of reports of UFO's in the past. Who knows? One of the reports might have been real."

[Myitt]

With the humans discussing UFOs in front of them, Corliss leaned toward Tia and whispered, "It isn't one that's on the system."  He smirked, shrugging, and then looked back up at her.  "I still don't know if I can trust you.  I assume you realize that?  You realize we're both dead if we're caught, and I'm worse than dead if you turn me in.  If you had any doubts before...now would be the time to bring them up, because I can't keep hiding this way forever.  Neither can you."  Again his hand was gripped tight around the Dracon in his jacket pocket, ready for a fight.

[Terenia]

Aurora rolled her eyes, "I think most of those reports are only in the tabloid papers for a reason. Besides, why would aliens be hanging out at a community club in California? Shouldn't they be storming D.C. or something?"

[morfowt]

Michael thought about that. "hmm. why they are here, I have no clue. Maybe they need more resources before storming D.C.", Michael suggested.

"If either of us had a problem, we would have left by now," Norpo deadpanned, knowing that Tia had reached her hands behind her back, pressing a few fingers against the Dracon beam under her shirt. "What about you? How do I know that I can trust you?"

[morfowt]

"hey Aurora, do those two look..." Michael said motioning towards Mike and Tia "...I don't know...tense to you? They look like they're getting ready for a shoot."

[Qwerty the Charliecorn]

Kaitlyn watched them walking, but could not catch any of their conversation. She did, however, notice Mike reaching into his jacket pocket, Tia reaching into her shirt a moment later.

<They have weapons. Guns or Dracon beams,> Kaitlyn thought.

<They wouldn't dare fire them with so many human witnesses,> Illrid said incredulously. <But why? Do they not trust one another?>

[Terenia]

"Yeah," Aurora nodded. She had noticed too. "Way tense considering that they were all smiles and pep a few minutes ago. There is something....kind of creepy going on here. I'm not sure about aliens, but I don't know if gang warfare would be too far of a stretch. Did you hear about the shooting in Chino last week? A bunch of kids, thinking they were cool...." She shuddered. "Then again, these guys don't seem to be...bad people. Just weird."

[Whammy]

As the meeting dragged on both Will and Madat thought it might have been better to stay with those others. Then again, Chapman had people all over this place keeping an eye on things. Ever since someone brought oatmeal cookies to a meeting they had gotten seriously tight on security.

<<Explain to me again why you can't have oatmeal?>> Will inquired.

<<I told you why. Oatmeal acts like a narcotic for us. We get addicted, go nuts, and all sorts of other problems. And for those Yeerks who enslave others, loss of control.>> Madat replied, kind of tired and wanting to leave.

(Eh, brain dead. )

[morfowt]

((um. instant maple and ginger oatmeal. plain oatmeal doesn't work))

"What do you think of me accepting to become a full member?" Michael asked Aurora. He was bored and would choose any topic to discuss. Besides, if what Mike said was true, it might've been a bad idea to accept.

[traycon3]

((Yeah, but all oatmeal is considered controban.))

"Better answer quickly," Norpo said, streaching Tia's mouth into a wicked grin. "The natives are getting restless." And by natives, he didn't just mean Michael and Aurora, of course.

[Terenia]

Aurora shrugged, choosing her words carefully, "I guess...if that's what you want. I'm not opposed to full membership, but I'd like to know more about what's going on first. I mean, this is our first meeting and look what's happened already. I feel like its a good idea to know what you're getting yourself into before making a commitment."

[morfowt]

Michael shrugged. He wasn't expecting anything much different from someone like her "What's happened already? Let's see...we've been told the Sharing was run by aliens, and now we're off to see a spaceship. This has got to be the most interesting first meeting I've ever been to." Michael thought, but he couldn't think of any more things to talk about to pass the time.

Crap Denise Matticelli mentally scolded herself, as she pulled into the main parking lot for The Sharing, and finally found a parking space for her used Corolla. "Is there anything in my life that doesn't have to be a complicated hassle?" the 21 year old aspiring dancer said through gritted teeth.

Lately it had seemed as if things were going from bad to worse. Her usual audition failures, her fallout with family, her crappy embarrassing job, financial problems, and continued alcohol addiction. She honestly didn't care to add being late on her first day of a club she really didn't care to be part of in the first place. But then again, if it really would help her out as all her therapists and shrinks claimed, then who was she to say no?

Casually tucking a strand of ebony colored hair behind her ear, Denise made her way across the parking lot and into the building where The Sharing was being held. As she expected, the place was full of angsty anti-social teens as well as overly happy preppy kids and even more sappy adults with their usual schpeel of making the world a 'brighter, better place'. Yep, your usual community club scene.

Navigating her way through the milling crowd, Denise began looking for signs or some indication that would clue her in as to exactly where this intro meeting or whatever was. But given her luck, she probably had already missed it and several other important bits of information, all because she had spent the better part of her time looking for a stupid parking place.

With an audible sigh, she continued on her 'quest' to find the meeting, before she came across a couple of young adults around her age, that looked to be guiding a pair of teenage kids that she guessed were newbies like herself. Finally Denise thought with some relief, as she approached the little group.

"Uh excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt anything here, but I was wondering if any of you knew the way to the introductory meeting?" she asked straightforwardly, her gaze fixed on the two adults who seemed to be reaching for something in their jacket pockets. Denise hoped to god that they weren't about to knife each other or something. Yea thanks a buuunch Dr. Heraldson she thought sarcastically, remembering the shrink who had specifically recommended this place.
