Personification Life - IC Part VIII [open]

[Torsiedelle]

And so that's how the older sister snapped back into consciousness in a flurry of kicks and screams. What the hell was going on in here? She was going to die!

[The BranRiech]

"Oh . . . Well, hey, Minerva, Klaus." Bran shrugged, if raptors could shrug anyways. They were both right confused, and didn't know what was going on other than them and a bunch of others were now reptilian, more specifically, the same kind as their neighbors in the house next door.

Well, they both already knew who did it.

"Greetings, Fram." Rylli smiled in raptor form, which basically came across as a weird look, but still genuine. "Swith's a good friend to us. It's usually always nice to meet her family."

They were both laughing in their heads, somewhat, at the funny movements of the god.

--

"Why should you have to deal with it!? You should run, Human!"

Rachelle laughed again, and skirted around Torii. She was basically trying to imitate what she thought a dinosaur would be like, evil, and always trying to eat the humans. Well, that's what Jurassic Park taught her, as well as that lawyers should be eaten by T-rexes.

Natiya, who was still nested on the couch, sighed and looked the other way. Of course, Torii still might not realize who the dinosaurs were, what with the ripped up clothing of her families acquaintances. They could have been eaten, for all she knew.

[Cerillium]

And so that's how the older sister snapped back into consciousness in a flurry of kicks and screams. What the hell was going on in here? She was going to die!

"Hehehe!" Hans lifted his foot and let the girl go.

"Guten Morgen. Kleine Madchen gut schmecken, ja?" He pulled a few stray strands of blonde hair from his mouth, then lowered his head to blow a puff of breath at her through his nostrils. "Ja, little girls taste very good. Why are you normal?"

The cultist raptor's head lifted to ask the Conserviraptors the same. "Why is she normal? Maybe things didn't all go according to the raptor's plans? They must be behind this, ja. We should go see."

He made a mental note to ask Chrys why Luce - he assumed the male raptor was once him - was such a clean freak.

---

"Thought so," Minerva sighed in recognition. "Fram, this is Rylli and Bran. I'm sure Swith's told you about Bran?"

Fram's eyes widened. He latched onto Bran's skull with his sharp claws and drew it into his chest like a football. Ignoring the rest of the body still attached to the head, he crooned and swayed from side to side. "I have a son! My boy! My sweet boy!" It was only fair. Share and share alike between avatars.

"Swith adopted him," Klaus growled. "Are you married to Cornelius? No. You are not. Bran's your nephew if anything."

"Oooh, can I be married to Cornelius too?"

"NO!" came the reply from both Minerva and Klaus. Minerva was beginning to understand Klaus' frustrations. Fram came across as jovial if not silly but she hadn't forgotten what he was - a less tolerant, more sinister version of Swith.

She carefully approached the god. "Please let go of Bran's head. My employer" - she stressed the word to leave no room for doubt as to who she obeyed - "would be very displeased if it detached from his shoulders."

Fram huffed and released the former conscript. "Was only playing, sweet pants."

[Torsiedelle]

"Yea, right! I'm older than you!", Torii huffed. "Anyway, what happened here? How are you guys raptors all of a sudden?"

The little raptor skirting around her was adorable, but how would Bran and Rylli respond to this? And what about her sister? Or Yoshi? Wait, where did Yoshi go? She couldn't remember...

.....

"Wha-wha-wha-", Katya stuttered repeatedly for about a minute. So these weren't the raptors she knew (barely)? It was speaking German? Everything was so confusing! Her face was wet, and her hair was messed up, and everything smelled of raptor...

She screamed and scooted away. "I don't know! What do you want? Eeeew, this is disgusting!"

[Urran]

Yoshi ran around from behind a corner babbling in Japanese. He was a raptor, a raptor with strange eye colors, but a raptor nonetheless. He ran up to Torii and continued his senseless ranting, forgetting that she couldn't understand his native language.


Tieria woke up and examined his hands and looked to Kei. Raptors. He face clawed. "That darn raptor". he said to himself. He considered NVE to be his arch-rival but also a bit of a friend.

[The New Velociraptor Empire]

Neil woke up and turned on the television to nothing, but an error message as their communication network was down. He sat his chicks down to breakfast and turned the radio on to the news. Gretta was up, and she nuzzled him before the emergency broadcasts caught their attention.

"Oh milking hell!" Gretta cursed.

"Something must have went wrong." Neil said, "Children, don't go outside, they may look like us out there, but it is mammal deception. It's not safe like in the Empire, they are still the same underneath. Now Scarface will stick by you in case something happens...and to make sure they don't get leverage on us." he explained to the chicks and sent them to the safe room escorted by their favorite babysitter.

"The communications are down, they must already know. Next thing you know they'll be bashing down the door with torches and pitchforks, demanding that we fix this." Gretta said irritated.

"We need to send someone to keep the situation under control and make sure they don't take down the satellite." Neil replied.

---

Later...

Neil looked out his office window on the forth story as his clone NVE entered. He smoked his pipe thoughtfully, as he gazed upon the street below.

"I said keep this quiet. My darling Gretta was nearly killed last time when I even thought to launch it into orbit." Neil said with distain.

"It isn't my fault, Nevvie messed up communications." NVE defended himself.

"I left you in charge, now you make sure it doesn't come back to me. Do whatever you must, but if they come after me, my family......" Neil hissed as he grabbed NVE by the lapels and tossed him out the window into the street below.

NVE always thought Neil was too soft, but now he knew he was all to wrong. He got up unharmed on the street and dusted himself off. Looking back to the house he saw Gretta barricading the place, since the Deadlock got knocked out with communications. He knew Nevvie was already working the technical side. His job was to protect them all, he knew what Neil would do if he didn't, and he had no desire to end up on that side of him.

[The BranRiech]

One moment, he was greeting a member of Swith's family. The next, he was in an uncalled-for bonding moment with his adopted uncle. It was somewhat awkward, but if Swith truly considered himself as a son, then he guessed Fram had a point with him being family as well. "Oph . . . Mrph headsh . . ." He mumbled as he was hugged against his will.

Ah! Finally, he was released. "T-thanks. Well, looked like you guys are still dressed impeccably as always, ours . . . Ours ripped off when we turned. So . . . Fram, are you new to the apartment? I barely know anymore, new people come and leave all the time."

Rylli was sitting back aways, giggling her head off at the antics of the god.

--

"I don't know!" Rachelle giggled, dissolving into a fit of the things as she toppled over, tripping over Torii's foot with a surprised shriek. "We were-"

"Just sitting here watching TV." Natiya shrugged, glaring Torii's way. It was that one girl . . . The one who kidnapped her. While her idiot brother might have forgiven her, she sure as hell didn't. "Now, I was feeling hungry before this, but now? The perfect meal might have just presented itself to me, how convenient. My brother wouldn't appreciate that, and I suppose I'd feel bad about it too . . ."

Natiya was fully serious. It was the perfect time for revenge, and she was still deciding on whether to take the chance.

[Tiltjuice]

Hans clasped Chrys' tail tip and shook it. "How'd you do?"

Reptilian lips parted and eyes widened into a raptor smile. He whipped his snout around to eye the raptor with the punctured Febreze can and then brought it forward to press against Chrys' own. "You know, this is too good to pass up. We should all adventure to see what caused it. Gather some clothing. I'll put it in my pocket in case this spell ends and catches us unawares."

Hans had spent enough time trailing the real raptors to know that they'd be behind it in some way. It wasn't the tortoise at all. To find a raptor was to think like a raptor and thinking like a raptor was easier when one was a raptor. Hans put on his raptor thinking cap and "got into the role". His head darted to the left and Katya fell into the scope of his excellent binocular vision.

"Deception! Mammal deception!" He'd often heard Gretta bark the phrase. He sprang through the air, knocked the human girl over and ate her head. The writer jests. It only appeared that he'd eaten her head; he was actually opening his mouth and nibbling on her shoulders and neck.

And so that's how the older sister snapped back into consciousness in a flurry of kicks and screams. What the hell was going on in here? She was going to die!

"Hehehe!" Hans lifted his foot and let the girl go.

"Guten Morgen. Kleine Madchen gut schmecken, ja?" He pulled a few stray strands of blonde hair from his mouth, then lowered his head to blow a puff of breath at her through his nostrils. "Ja, little girls taste very good. Why are you normal?"

The cultist raptor's head lifted to ask the Conserviraptors the same. "Why is she normal? Maybe things didn't all go according to the raptor's plans? They must be behind this, ja. We should go see."

He made a mental note to ask Chrys why Luce - he assumed the male raptor was once him - was such a clean freak.

"Wha-wha-wha-", Katya stuttered repeatedly for about a minute. So these weren't the raptors she knew (barely)? It was speaking German? Everything was so confusing! Her face was wet, and her hair was messed up, and everything smelled of raptor...

She screamed and scooted away. "I don't know! What do you want? Eeeew, this is disgusting!"

"Sure thing!" Chrys replied, and danced away to pull out some clothing from the big closet. Coming back, she handed over an outfit for herself and Luce for Hans to store, laughing wildly at his antics. Bounding over, she licked Katya's face as well. "Normal is a mammal conspiracy! Come on, Hans! On, Luce! We're off to see the MAD SCIENTISTS!"

Luce, meanwhile, was staring rather quizzically and comically out of his glasses. They, being Chaos items, had also grown with his head.

"You all look very strange," he said mildly. "Raptor eyes and glasses are very confusing."

[Torsiedelle]

"What the hell is mammal deception!?", Katya screamed in a comical manner. She wiped away the raptor saliva with her blazer sleeve and scooted away until the wall was at her back. "You're mammals, too! Well, not right now, but you get what I mean!"

.....

Huh? Natiya must have surely been joking. There's no way she would seriously attack and eat her. Afterall, it was Tora's birthday, and she knew that a Nikanor wouldn't hurt her.

"Oh, how scary~", Torii joked. "You wouldn't wanna eat me. I'm too lean!"

And then suddenly, Yoshi "attacked" her. "Whowhatthefuck!", She blubbered as the Yoshi-raptor was freakkng out. "Yo, yo, yo! What the hell!?"

[Urran]

Yoshi took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, but he failed epically. "Wh-what's going on? I'm a raptor or something!" he yelled. He was freaking out. But he sighed and excepted it after a few minutes. "N-never mind...I-I guess I have to deal with it."

[Cerillium]

One moment, he was greeting a member of Swith's family. The next, he was in an uncalled-for bonding moment with his adopted uncle. It was somewhat awkward, but if Swith truly considered himself as a son, then he guessed Fram had a point with him being family as well. "Oph . . . Mrph headsh . . ." He mumbled as he was hugged against his will.

Ah! Finally, he was released. "T-thanks. Well, looked like you guys are still dressed impeccably as always, ours . . . Ours ripped off when we turned. So . . . Fram, are you new to the apartment? I barely know anymore, new people come and leave all the time."

Rylli was sitting back aways, giggling her head off at the antics of the god.

"I'm the god of impeccable dress," Fram huffed. He was still put off from being denied his prize. He snapped his fingers and Bran found himself in a Soviet-era naval uniform of some sort; his accent had put it into Fram's mind and the god twisted it into something he felt was much better than the original. It fit Bran perfectly. He snapped again and Rylli was clad in a floral dress with matching pillbox hat.

"Better. Not best, but better."

"He's not new, and he's not staying," Klaus stated. "He's just passing through because Swith wanted to spend time with him. Nothing more."

"Sure thing!" Chrys replied, and danced away to pull out some clothing from the big closet. Coming back, she handed over an outfit for herself and Luce for Hans to store, laughing wildly at his antics. Bounding over, she licked Katya's face as well. "Normal is a mammal conspiracy! Come on, Hans! On, Luce! We're off to see the MAD SCIENTISTS!"

Luce, meanwhile, was staring rather quizzically and comically out of his glasses. They, being Chaos items, had also grown with his head.

"You all look very strange," he said mildly. "Raptor eyes and glasses are very confusing."

"We look strange?" Hans closed an eye to better study Luce. "We're not the ones wearing glasses."

He took the spare clothing and tucked it into his pocket. His tail flicked. "WHAT!" he barked at Katya. "What?! What is the meaning of life? What is the way to Timbuktu? What is your favorite color? No really, what's your favorite color? Mammal deception is exactly what it sounds like. Ask the Tortoise here. I'm not a mammal. I'm pocket lint."

He scratched under his eye with three sharp talons. "Now we have asked all the good questions. Let's answer some. Let's see those MAD SCIENTISTS!"

[New Aksarben]

Ray had been peacefully sleeping since far earlier in the previous night, when he'd gone to bed after talking with Jacob. It felt good to talk to someone other than Albert, and he didn't really talk often enough with Jacob. And so, he'd retired alone to his room to sleep. He wondered if Albert would actually return at some point to come and sleep with him, but Albert never did. Nevertheless, it did not impede his efforts at sleeping through the night. It had been a slightly eventful day for him, or at the very least interesting. But life at the apartment seemed to cause that sort of behavior amongst himself and others, and Ray had gotten used to it.

But being awakened suddenly in the midst of the morning through a very strange feeling wasn't necessarily something he'd been prepared for. His eyes opened to him being alone within his bed, and feeling....rather cold. Colder than normal. The distinct lack of fur was shocking enough, and he let his eyes adjust and rid of the blur for a few moments before trying to move. But his body didn't quite respond as normal: he felt heavier. The limbs that were attached to his body felt...off, somehow. Like they were tangled and in the wrong positions. And somehow, as if they were different in themselves. His arms felt smaller and weaker, his legs far more muscled, and his tail....His tail felt different, as if much more 'stocked' for lack of a better term.

His fingers seemingly poking into the bedcovers, he tried to move his head around. Ray suddenly felt very worried when his head brushed against the pillow and gave off a very different feeling: his ears didn't brush against the pillow, his hair unmessed. Of course, this suddenly changed when he realized that he didn't even have hair or ears poking from his head. But he did have a snout: well, it wasn't really a snout, but a scaled mouth-thingy.

"....WHAT IN THE....AH~!", Ray suddenly screeched out, and he soon became worried at the strange hinge in his voice. He trashed around in his bed, tearing around the bedsheets as his limbs flailed in an effort to get them off. The tattered remains of his clothing were either scattered on the mattress or on his person: his underwear had broken and rested against the mattress, and only the upper section of his navy-blue t-shirt remained trapped onto what was his upper torso.

The initial shock continued to dominate his behavior as he flailed around the room in terror, rolling around on the floor as he attempted to regain control of his new limbs and body. Countless curses emitted from his room, easily heard out into the hallway.

Ray's screeching and cursing was easily picked up by Jacob's new raptor ear-things. Jacob wasn't sure what they were called, seeing as they were basically holes in the side of his head. But anyway, Ray's screeching drew some concern from the personification, who was worried that his friend might have gotten hurt somehow. Especially considering Ray was a PI and former police officer and thus should be quite tough. But then again, he did tend to be quite girly, so it was logical that Ray was freaking out from the sudden transformation.

So Jacob carefully began heading for Ray's room. He walked slowly to avoid ripping the carpet with his claws, and did his best to not trip and fall into anything. Some of the things in his apartment were quite valuable after all, and some had quite a lot of sentimental value. Plus, Blossom might not be happy having to clean up carpet shreds or holes walls. Jacob was surprisingly calm for suddenly being turned into a raptor. But it was mainly because he had been turned into many other things while in the Building. Namely a woolly mammoth, a girl(twice) and a carnivorous chinchilla. But he was feeling quite hungry for some raw meat, strangely enough....

Jacob quickly knocked on Ray's door, and called out to the fox furry. "Ray, are you okay? I heard you screeching, so I came to make sure you did not get hurt by the change to a raptor..... Can you please calm down though? I am sure the raptors can fix you, if you give them the chance. They are very smart after all..... I am sure this is just a fluke, anyway....." He tried opening the door, but did not have very much success. It was odd manipulating objects with raptor claws. He was afraid of damaging things and tried to lightly hold onto the door handle, but his claws slipped every time. He sighed and waited for Ray's response instead of trying any more to open the door.

[The BranRiech]

"Ah . . . Well, Swith calls me the Waffle God, I guess . . ." Bran shrugged. The new dress didn't quite impress him. Boats and submarines were never his thing, but it was better than being naked in the presence of friends and pseudo-family members who were quite awkward.

"Thanks for the clothes." He bowed his head, looking at his own snout in the process. Did he really look like that? "This is my wife, Amaryllis. And she's looking mighty lovely." He smiled.

Rylli, who was in awe at her new clothes (Saddened that they'd probably stop fitting if she returned to Human), looked up and grinned. Even as a raptor, her husband was still beautiful. "Yeah, I'm Amaryllis. Friends and family call me Rylli, so you can too."

--

"Oh, I wouldn't care. You wouldn't make me gain too much weight then." Natiya said sweetly, with a drawl. She quickly told Rachelle to get off to her room before anything unfortunate should happen. She complied, and the raptor-sister got up from her little nest in the couch. "Don't go anywhere now." She said. It was truly just a joke, basically. She wanted Torii to be truly terrified, just as she was when she was kidnappedd.

[Torsiedelle]

"Yo, don't worry, Yoshi. I'd be freaked out if I was a raptor, too.", Torii chuckled. "I'm sure it'll be over, soon."

And then Natiya spoke up again. Torii giggled. "Okay, now....why is Rachelle going? I kinda wanted to see the kid.....um, okay....Natiya?"

....

Katya stared at the raptors in a puzzled manner, then burst into laughter. "Mammal deception! Hahahahahahahaha, you guys are fun.....this is still disgusting...but fun...I guess....um...Luce?"

[Cerillium]

"Ah . . . Well, Swith calls me the Waffle God, I guess . . ." Bran shrugged. The new dress didn't quite impress him. Boats and submarines were never his thing, but it was better than being naked in the presence of friends and pseudo-family members who were quite awkward.

"Thanks for the clothes." He bowed his head, looking at his own snout in the process. Did he really look like that? "This is my wife, Amaryllis. And she's looking mighty lovely." He smiled.

Rylli, who was in awe at her new clothes (Saddened that they'd probably stop fitting if she returned to Human), looked up and grinned. Even as a raptor, her husband was still beautiful. "Yeah, I'm Amaryllis. Friends and family call me Rylli, so you can too."

"Why, Bran? Do you waffle or are you simply worshiped by indecisive people?" Fram pulled an opera-length cigarette holder (and cigarette) from the air. It lit on its own. He drew a puff and exhaled it to the ceiling. "I can't stand indecisive people's prayers. Oh great and powerful Fram, please send me new ruby slippers but don't let my house land on anybody in the process! Nonsense. Say what you mean, mean what you want and don't ask for anything unless you're ready to pay for the damages."

He eyed Rylli. "That color looks like shit against your scales," he said by way of reply. He snapped and the flowers turned from yellow to pink.

Klaus glared at his brother. Fram was everything he detested in a god: catty attitudes, meaningless displays of power and babble. "Do you suppose those prostitutes were changed to raptors as well? Maybe the fight between them is more interesting now?"

[Tiltjuice]

Katya stared at the raptors in a puzzled manner, then burst into laughter. "Mammal deception! Hahahahahahahaha, you guys are fun.....this is still disgusting...but fun...I guess....um...Luce?"

"I'm Luce," agreed the glasses-wearing raptor on the left in his usual quiet way. "And she's Chrys, and the fellow over here with all the questions and exclamations is Hans. And you're Katya. And now we're all going to see our new MAD SCIENTIFIC cousins."

He picked Katya up and slung her over his shoulder - Chrys continuing to lick her face - and headed out the door, waiting outside for Hans. Chrys followed him.

[The BranRiech]

"I, uh, make waffles really well? That's why, and I'm not indecisive." Bran crossed his stubby raptor arms, wondering how in the world his friends could manage to become evil geniuses with the damned things. They were maddening! The gawdawful striped shirt didn't help. He felt like a drunk, underpaid sailor now, no longer proud of his Air-force work.

"Eh, I guess you're ri-" Rylli was saying, looking down. The colors on her dress were somehow different now . . .

"Thanks?"

Prostitutes? Sheesh, Bran's uncle was certainly interesting. He never understood why people would pay for sex, so he naturally didn't understand why they even had a job.

--

"Rachelle shouldn't need to see what's about to happen, little friend." Natiya grinned and rapped her claw on the carpeted floor. It didn't produce the desired effect, but it sure felt convincing.

"It's simple really, I'm hungry, and you're a snack."

[Cerillium]

Katya stared at the raptors in a puzzled manner, then burst into laughter. "Mammal deception! Hahahahahahahaha, you guys are fun.....this is still disgusting...but fun...I guess....um...Luce?"

"I'm Luce," agreed the glasses-wearing raptor on the left in his usual quiet way. "And she's Chrys, and the fellow over here with all the questions and exclamations is Hans. And you're Katya. And now we're all going to see our new MAD SCIENTIFIC cousins."

He picked Katya up and slung her over his shoulder - Chrys continuing to lick her face - and headed out the door, waiting outside for Hans. Chrys followed him.

Hans followed the group out. He used a hind leg to pull the door closed.

"How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" he asked rhetorically as the group moved down the hall. It was an entertaining riddle. He alternated with Chrys and licked the opposite side of Katya's face as he bobbed along; the poor girl's head was a ping pong ball volleyed between two slimy paddles.

[Torsiedelle]

"Hey, hey, hey!", Katya yelled as she was hoisted up. "Out me down, my bottom's showing! Stop!", but she wasn't really strong enough to shake herself loose. Where were they taking her?

.....

Torii started backing away.

"Hey, now...C'mon, I'm gettin' a little worried now...I swear, Mr. Nikanor won't like it if you eat me, okay?"

[Cerillium]

"I, uh, make waffles really well? That's why, and I'm not indecisive." Bran crossed his stubby raptor arms, wondering how in the world his friends could manage to become evil geniuses with the damned things. They were maddening! The gawdawful striped shirt didn't help. He felt like a drunk, underpaid sailor now, no longer proud of his Air-force work.

"Eh, I guess you're ri-" Rylli was saying, looking down. The colors on her dress were somehow different now . . .

"Thanks?"

Prostitutes? Sheesh, Bran's uncle was certainly interesting. He never understood why people would pay for sex, so he naturally didn't understand why they even had a job.

"You're welcome, Rylli, really. We should go to Denny's!" Fram ignored Klaus' remark and abruptly changed the subject on Bran.

Klaus grunted in annoyance. "Denny's are an American thing. There aren't any in Bielefeld."

"Pish tosh. Now there are!" Fram waved a funky claw at the glass lobby doors and to what sat beyond them. The neighbor's house across the way had been squeezed to one side. A strip club bearing the traditional Denny's yellow signage squatted where the lawn once was. A chipper poster in the window read, "24-hour Grand Slam Special!"

Minerva face-palmed - an extraordinary achievement considering the length of her arms. "Fram-"

"Too much? I thought about doing an IHOP or a Bob Evans but those are so regional."

[The BranRiech]

"You should be getting worried."

Natiya took a few more steps, licking her lips with her raptor tongue. Truth be told, she was getting hungry. Of course, there was meat in the fridge she could eat, but human? It seemed like something, at least now, she wanted to try.

No, she wasn't sick.

"Come here, snack~" She cooed, making the "Come here" gesture with one of her appendages that replaced her fingers.

--

"Dennys? Isn't that a buffet? And we could always go to Chaos, although I think I'd like to try something new." Bran shrugged once more. It was a certain innocence, believing it to be a simple restaurant. He had eaten breakfast around 20 minutes ago, but hey, he wanted to try something new as well. Rylli nodded in agreement and again, looked down at her dress.

"Me too, I'm a bit hungry, didn't get to eat this morning. Do they serve meat?" She asked, hoping either Fram, Minerva, or Klaus knew the answer.

[Torsiedelle]

Torii was thoroughly convinced now. Could she make it out the door in time? She didn't know. Her knee still hurt from last night.

But maybe Natiya was still just playing?

"Hehehe....I, um...is this about that fairy thing? I mean, we're past that, right?", she asked, shifted slowly towards the door.

[Cerillium]

"Hey, hey, hey!", Katya yelled as she was hoisted up. "Out me down, my bottom's showing! Stop!", but she wasn't really strong enough to shake herself loose. Where were they taking her?

Luce maneuvered the stairs down to the lobby. Chrys and Hans continued to lick Katya's face until they reached the bottom of the steps.

Hans squinted at the five raptors already present. Two were easy to distinguish based upon their uniforms. The purple-feathered one was either Swith or- the strip club appeared - most definitely Fram. He drew his lips into a grin. He didn't know who the one in the dress was nor the name of her Soviet companion.

"Chaos?" Fram quipped. He was oblivious to the new arrivals. "Would you like to go to Chaos?"

He raised a hand but his snap was covered by Klaus' hard hand. Klaus glared. "Not that Chaos. There's a restaurant by the same name. No. We are not going there."

"Oooooh yes we are!" Fram squealed.

[The BranRiech]

"This is exactly about the Fairy thing, Tora." Natiya hissed and clicked a small remote in her hand. It had fallen to the floor when her clothes were shredded, but she picked it up masterfully when she got off the couch.

The door then hissed and screeched shut. "Hide, and if I can't find you in . . . Hmm, 5 minutes? You go free. Otherwise, I eat well tonight." She grinned at her plan, hoping to make Torii feel the same horror she felt when her wings were chopped off.

She noticed Yoshi but figured him no threat, for he was a raptor too.

--

"There's a different Chaos place?"

Bran was clueless. He knew of the faction, Chaos, but not the other place? Wait . . . Gah, it was all so confusing. Now, whenever he thought of the word, he thought of Swith and most things having to do with that that he knew of.

And then more raptors (And Katya, who appeared to be drenched in Raptor saliva)) showed up in the lobby as well. He knew Katya, of course, but not the others.

The couple waited back to see what would happen, where they'd be going, and just who the real killer wa-wait, nevermind. They wanted to know just who the two other raptors were.

[Torsiedelle]

Torii's face went pale. Natiya had to be crazy...she thought they were past that.

"You're shitting me, right? There's no way your actually doing that!"

......

Katya squealed and kicked up her legs to try and cover herself. She assumed the raptor in a Soviet Uniform was Bran.

"Where are we going?", She asked. She at least wanted an answer.
