New Animorphs RP IC

[crunge]

I walked into the zoo, he passed security and the other staff, and into the back door of the main building. Mycousin Chris had let me know that there were certain people asking about people who like to be around animals more than normal, questioned him about people who were in the zoo when they shouldnt be or employees in areas they shouldnt be.I had asked him to do this, I had to lie to Chris about why, I couldnt tell him it was about an alien war to save humanity. I had said it was about a case I was working at the time. My cousin quickly told me about the people asking him the questions. I thanked him and walked outside and called my people and let them know what was going on and set up a plan to meet back at my place, and headed there myself.

I sat in the car in Connor's driveway, waiting for him to show. It was bad luck he should call when he did. I was just about to take Snopian out to a new club that was opening. He was sitting in my car with me, just having gotten morphed and dressed to go. I plugged in my iPod and started up a song to kill the time. I began singing along just to poke fun at Snopian, "Snoop doggie do-ooo-wowwowwog. Snoop doggie do-ooo-wowwowwog."

Snopian looked at my face as I smugly sang at him, "You realize my name is pronounced 'Snope' and not 'Snoop'? I don't understand why you continue to make this reference when mentioning my name."

I sighed and said with a laugh, "Good grief. It's a joke Snoopy; and to be honest, the reason it's funny, is because you react so well to it."

Snopian furrowed his brow in thought and said, "I believe I have a handle on Human humor; and I don't find your 'joke' to fall within those parameters."

I rolled my head around my shoulders and said, "It's not funny... to you because the joke's about you. Well, about your name anyway. Funny is the word there. You don't find my joke to be funny. It's okay. That's the beautiful thing about humor. Different things can be funny to different people. Like not too many people find dead baby jokes to be humorous, some do. Personally, I think they're hilarious. I understand they're ****ed up, but I can't deny they're funny."

Snopian nodded, he's gotten really good at gesticulation since we've met him. He replied, "I see, that's why there are so many different comedians; different ones cover different topics."

I pointed at him, "Exactly. Too bad we couldn't go to the club; I wanted to try out my new combo."

Snopian tilted his head, "You mean your new DNA compilation?"

I nodded, "Yep. I was gonna try to go female again and see if I can isolate the 'Hot' look. The last time didn't work out so well."

Snopian chuckled, "That's because last time you forgot to envision yourself with a nose." He really began to laugh after that, "The male you approached was actually scared of you." He tried to elaborate, but couldn't because he was laughing so hard.

I rolled my eyes, "Hey, this coming from a guy that naturally doesn't have a nose. I admit it, I should look in the mirror first next time. I was just more concerned about my other parts being right. I didn't really think much about the nose. I just need to concentrate harder next time."

I walked by Seans car on my way up the drive and tapped on his window and motioned for them to follow me in. After I had let the three of us in, I went into the kitchen and pulled a few beers from the fridge and sat at my counter and told them what my cousin had told me. "So I want us to run a survelliance mission at the zoo if we can. Problem is it will mean either letting some of the animals out and hoping we didnt get caught doign that or taking their place or doing what we hate doing most and getting another human morph."

I took another sip of my beer and said "I know we agreed that we would try to avoid morphing species that had a say in the matter but when something like this presents it self we need to make an acception. We have a decent idea on how the Yeerks run things through the sharing and their military, at least the higher ups thanks to our own resident Snoopy here, but I think we should get a better idea on how they run their day to day operations and how they plan to stop us and if they know if most of us are human." I looked around and said "Ideas?"

[Darth Revan]

I nodded to Connor as he waved us in. I turned the car off and followed him with Snopian behind me. Snopian was already taking off his jacket as he entered the house. He undressed in the living room so that all he had left was his morphing outfit on: a pair of tight bicycle shorts and a muscle shirt. He folded his outfit and began to demorph as he made his way to the kitchen. I looked back as I began to hear hoof sounds. I asked, "Those shorts working out for you? I can't afford to keep buying you new morphing outfits."

Snopian tilted his head, <You do not pay for any of my clothing. Especially since I hacked all of your accounts.>

I grabbed a beer from Connor and held it up to Snopian, "And thank you for that. The comment earlier was just a joke, sarcasm, to be exact."

Snopian replied, <I see. I will make a note of that tone then. You are welcome once more, of course.>

After Connor explained the situation and asked for questions, I raised my hand and asked, "Yeah," I put down all but two fingers, "Two questions: When the hell did we decide to not morph Humans? I love morphing other people." I nod toward Snopian, "Snoopy here does it all the time, no reason we can't. We're not enslaving someone else's body, just copying their DNA patterns. I don't feel oppressed every time Snoop dogg here morphs into his weird version of me/you/and everyone else he acquired." I then put down my second finger, leaving one up and continued, "Secondly, How 'bout waiting for the whole team before starting your team meeting? Kick back a moment, shoot the ****. How ya been man?"

Snopian asked, <I have a question, when will you stop calling me variations of "Snoopy"?>

I shot back immediately, "Never."

[Underseen]

I flew down towards Connor's house, enjoying the thermals and landing on a branch inside his backyard. <Sorry about that, my junk of a car wouldn't start.> I told my friends. I looked around with my raptor vision to see if anyone was watching and swooped towards the ground while focusing on my normal human self. When the transformation was complete I opened the back door to Conner's house. "You  should keep that door locked." I noted to Connor as I walked into the kitchen and took a look at my friends. "What's up Red Baron?" I told Snopian, after hearing his conversation with Sean from outside. I went to the pantry and took out a water bottle. "So why are we here?" I asked Connor

[Darth Revan]

Snopian looked quizzically at Drew, <Red Baron?>

I looked quizzically at Drew, "Warm water?"

[Underseen]

"Yeah, it feels good on my tongue." I said winking at Sean. "You're too young to understand that joke Snopian." I replied jokingly. I sat down on the counter.

[Darth Revan]

I raised an eyebrow, "Okay, I'm not sure if you're making a gay joke, or coming on to me. Either way, I certainly like it." I laughed and took a drink from my beer.

Snopian nodded, <More humor, pleasing.>

I let my head fall backward, "'Funny' Snopian. The word is 'Funny'." I gestured to Connor and said, "Okay, now that we've all assembled, begin the presentation."

[crunge]

I quickly recapped the story for Drew, including my doubts about morphing humans, then said joking "I think that once I actuallay want to protect my house and things in it, I will, till then its ok. For real though its mainly used as a quasi dog door for Snopian." I finished my beer and grabbed another before turning to Sean, "I will give you that we are not snatching their bodies and wills, but its still one of those things that doesnt feel right. There is another way, but it involves risking some heat from the bosses at the agencey. We could just go undercover as employees."

I changed subject while they thought about it 'Im good though Sean, been hitting the gym, thinking of getting more ink done to see if it stays like the rest, would suck if it didnt though I like the fact that it does so far. Snoop have you come any closer to figuering out why that is?"

[Underseen]

"Well it isn't necessarily a bad thing if it is combined DNA, which basically makes it a whole new person. I don't know if it feels wrong, but I am not that much of a person with morals. When you say undercover do you mean in human morph?" I actually enjoyed doing that, it made me feel like I was using the morphing ability to it's full potential. "I don't really mind getting in some heat with our bosses, not like I am never in enough."

[Darth Revan]

I commented, "Hey, if you want to jeopardize your jobs, that's cool. I don't have to worry about that at all. Writing user manuals pays my bills plenty. Especially now that I don't have to worry about having to pay my bills. Now doing the work just gives me extra play money. With Snopian helping me, the wording sounds so much more official. They liked my new stuff so much, they gave me a raise. Thanks again Snoopy."

Snopian looked at me with a single stalk eye and said, <You're welcome.> He then answered Connor, <The ink inside your epidermis is not unlike the clothing on the outside of your epidermis; since it is not an actual wound, there's nothing to heal. While yes, stabbing your skin is required to dye it a certain color; the actual wound produced has long since healed. Also, we morph clothing because we envision them when we morph. The same applies with your markings. Your "tattoos" are a part of you, and therefore a part of your mental image of yourself. De-morphing is still, in effect, morphing; so when you morph yourself, you see yourself with those tattoos. It's not that complicated.>

I snickered, "Doesn't feel right for you. I love morphing Humans, it's quick and easy. The only real change in most cases is a height adjustment. When we morph animals or bugs, there's the whole rearranging of body parts and it takes forever.

"No, going in as Humans would be a mistake. It'd be too easy for the Yeerks to take us. We need to choose something with an option of a quick getaway. Something with wings, or something that doesn't mind going into a sewer. We could morph snakes and flush ourselves." I think for a second, "On second thought, my snake is too thick for some plumbing pipes."

[Underseen]

"Your snake is too thick?" I asked Sean raising my eyebrow. "I promise that is going to be my last gay joke today."  I shuddered at the thought of going down a sewer. "Sounds fun. If we really have to I guess we will." I said sarcastically. "As long as we get a mission done today I would be happy, I was hoping to do a more fun mission today." I looked at Snopian, who would let a centaur with a tailblade into their house? "Have you acquired anything new?" I asked trying to strike a conversation with the Alien.

[Darth Revan]

Snopian looked to Drew and replied, <Other than a new outfit from Sean, no. I don't feel compelled to acquire more than what is necessary. I've never needed more than two morphs until coming to this planet. The immense expanse of species is quite impressive. Not only that, but the difference in climate and the species' abilities to adapt are impressive as well. Your Arctic Wolf was very beneficial in that region when we destroyed the satellite.> He swished his tail lazily as he noticed Drew eyeing it.

I chuckled, "Hey, I was being literal. You know how narrow some of those pipes are. I'd get stuck. Either way, Connor, now that your cousin's been contacted by potential Yeerks, we're gonna have to put a detail on him too. Make sure they haven't taken him, ya know?"

[crunge]

I followed there conversation and said "we would have to act like there is a case there and go in there as us but employees. Now that I think about it you all are right humans is not the best idea. We will have to go in, in morph. Question is, which morph and how to do it. Snakes would be best but like Drew said I wont fit down the pipes. We could find an open sewer and go in from there though. "

[Underseen]

"There is a Korean Restaurant about 10 miles down the street. They have live eel you can pet, but I don't think that is a good idea because Snoopy can't even acquire them." I shook my head. "You guys decide the plan, I got nothing."
