The blue boy haunts my dreams. He’s always there, calling in his sad silent way to me. No matter how much I turn my thoughts from him, he’s always there looking mournfully at me through the water.

It’s not my fault, it was never my fault, you can’t blame me, I only saw him twice, how could I know what they would do.

I’m the only one he knows, he wants me to help him, I put my dry palm against his soft, wet one. I’m the only friend he has, even if we never spoke, not normally anyway.

And I betrayed him.

I saw him again yesterday, only this time behind glass, out palms didn’t touch this time, a invisible wall keapt them apart, everything we did was recorded by men in white coats. They keep him in a tank now, they test him, they weigh him, he’s just a specimen to them.

They call him Toby, it’s all over the newspapers now, I can’t leave the house. His real name I can’t pronounce, I’m the only one who knows it though. He showed me it written down at the bottom of the sea, on a tablet.

This should have been a relaxing holiday, 2 weeks with the sun in jersey. And it was until I went jet skiing.

It’s not my fault the bloody things engine broke is it, the rock was submerged, I couldn’t see it. I could have chosen to surf instead then he’d still be free.

You saved my life, they said I should have worn a life jacket but I refused, I thought that looks came over safety. I was starting to drown when your webbed fingers pushed me back towards the fading light. You kept me afloat until the rescue boat arrived then with a smile you left me as quickly as you’d been.

Oxygen deprivation they called it-hullications-they don’t now. They know your real know and I wish they didn’t.

I saw you next out scuba diving, I got separated from the group, a easy thing to do, when you swooped by, moving with grace that I could never match. You showed me your home, our poor, ruined, dead city, you spoke to me in your silent, funny way the words appearing inside my head. I forgot about your blue skin, your webbed hands, your gills, and saw you as another person.

They don’t, they see a creature, they came the next day with nets and planes and boats, they called you savage, a animal, when you tried to fight back.

I’m seeing you again tonight; I want to free you but how? I can’t smash the glass or you’ll die, you need water to breath. Your legs, so well designed for swimming aren’t strong enough to walk.

I’ll get you out though, no matter what, there not putting you in a zoo. I won’t let them, better to die than be a exhibit.


OOC: This is open, but you can take one caracter only, I'm Rping the Blue boy (Except for this opening post) and I need somone to RP the girl. It's set in the real world as though another specis of sedinant being had been found. Play a scientist/world leader/parent (Of the girl)/ Newspaper editior/jurnalist, whatever as long as it fits with the plot.

(Ie: Another specise of sedinant life has been found)

((Count me in!! This looks fun.))

The scientist tapped his pen against the glass, peering into the purified water with thinly veiled exuberance.

'Subject still refuses to respond to stimuli... I would suggest slight electrical pulses through the water... To... Encourage subject.' He said to his aide, before walking towards the huge monitor bank. The subject would pull off any of the stimuli recording devices, making it exceedingly difficult to read much...

Of course, it never dawned on him that his new subject, curled into a ball beyond the armoured glass was probably deliberately refusing to cooperate.

The scientist simply thought that, like some chimpanzee, the devices irritated it, and acting on base instincts, removed them promptly.

Nothing yet convinced him that his latest test subject could be anywhere near as intelligent as a human...

What Arrogance.

I peer curiously through the tinted galss at the men beyond, noticing them stare back at me. Quietly I probe there minds but I don't get far, human minds are a malestorm of thoughts and feelings and it is often impossable to shift through the thoughts to find the important bits.

He looks at me edgily and taps the glass, I can't hear the words that he say to the others but they quickly scurry off to carry out his bidding. I wonedr weather to communicate but decide against it, I seem to have caused enough fuss by existing, if they knew that i could communicate then...

besides, you need a open mind to communicate with humans, and there minds are always close like a shut book when there awake, preoccupied with other things when they are awake. It's all i can do to communicate with them when they are asleep, and even then that takes effort.

I swim upwards now, feet kicking at the water driving myself towards the surface and with a crash i explode from the water arching my back to come back down in a expression of pure exublerence.

I have to wait to see what happens next.

'Oh bollocks to that. Look for yourself. It has GILLS, good man. Obviously it's a throwback from evolution. It's perfectly possible that there could be more of them out there...'

'No. Look at the topography of the area where it was captured. There is every chance it is just a freak mutation from all those damn fission reactors in the area. We have dealt with this kind of thing before!' Argued his colleague, pointing at the pictures and close ups of the creature's prevalent anatomy.

'Oh I just wish we were capable of disecting it already...' The wistful tone was hard to miss.

OOC: Fission reactors in JERSEY! lol.

Will post later, have to go!

(OOC: sounds very good, i'll sign up as a Journalist)

Mr Younge peered round the corner into his bosses office "you wanted to see me sir?" He asked, the boss looked up "I heard you got through the Interview process, well done, but hte hardest part is still to come, find out everything that we aren't being told." Younge sighed, he had been proclaimed the best undercover reporter after his post on the intracacies of the goverment, and yet he had still managed to stay hidden, but this was going to be the biggest assignment yet, it would boost the Newspaper's popularity so far that no other newspaper would be able to compete "listen, i've got to go, i'll write up what i've got tonight and have it on your desk tomorrow

Mr Younge drove up to the science institute in his Sudan, he pulled out all of his faked ID's and walked out to the main gate, he wiped his face of sweat and put on a smile, hoping to impress the Scientists.

OOC: I will a biologist send to study the area, the Blue Boy was found.
IC:Robert Ericsson was a biologist send study area, a strange being was found, hes noticed the fission reactors around the area. He check his watch, 7:15pm. He then studied the plants and any wildlife he saw.

A mustard stained folder laid on the old clerks desk covered in dust and dropping from his meal.. In it were a number of papers marked 'Destroy Imediate'... They lay there as he left for home days work done, time for a long holiday no work for next sixtteen,,, thus it laid collecting more dust.. A small ant carried away a piece of olive... The office was dark...

REPORT: DNA SAMPLE #2003ATOBY recieved from Agent Scout #2781BAdam.

NATURE OF: .234 tecs mass fluid from UnKnown Species, UKS. found two days ago near Alpha22Pappa31..

Request you test this for content and insure it is not present with any harmfull elements.. Also test to determine if it is earth bound species or new one perhaps even from off world. Mark Imediate as we must know nature of it to avoid possible spread of infection should the creature be relevent to carry a harmfull element to us.. We have creature in secure isolation and can provide additional testing material..

Test A - Locotal Placem Test
Test on DNA SAMPLE #2003ATOBY reveal it to be nothing more than 'human' blood.. showing normal health and genetic markers of one from the general region of Redundancia or Upnovirica.. It is by mark a male two legs two arms, no obscure added markers noted.. Does have supliment simulated markers which could be mutated and thus give it 49 not 43 the normal human marker count.. Thus request we be allowed to send a team to review the creature and gather additional information from it.. As from what we have here this may be a mutated human... possibly one removed some years ago during the UFO Mysteries when people were claimed abducted by little green men from space. Indications are many were taken from the very region this creature seems to be from according to our tests.

Test on DNA SAMPLE #2003ATOBY indicate no current harmfull elements in the sample that might harm humans... Does show slight levels of AIDS200 in them but these seem to be in an inactive nature thus not harmfull. Also indications of Levil #3 Cancer recended by low level radiation treatments at some time in last two years. Would need to view the creater and gather additional information before concluding a complete report that this one is safe..

Theres not much to do when your stuck in a perspex tank with nothing to do, in the sea it's far better. I could explore the ruins off the city, hunting for food takes a long time as well as does looking after my familly.

They'll be wondering where I am, or maybe they've been caught already. I don't know if the humans think I'm a one off or not.

There used too be many of us once, long ago, we built a great city under the waves with a small bit above the surface to interact with the humans, we where a prosperious people, long ago, a gentic off-shoot from humans that had evolved into a diffrent race altogther.

Then the great catacclysium happened, the legends passed down through the ages claim it was a earth quake that demolished the city, killing many of our people, desise killed many more and now there just two left, me and my little sister, our parents where killed in a cave in.

and now shes alone out there, maybe with hundreds of them seachign for her, how will she live, she dosn't know how to catch fish, how could I have been so stupid, as if a human and one of us could ever be together...

I need sleep though if I'm going to escape and I float to the concreat floor, falling into a slumber.

'Have a look.' Said the man, pointing to what sensors did work.

'ECG is way off chart.' Murmured he, reaching to highlight an area on the rolls and rolls of paper.

'From what we can tell, its mind goes into what looks - at least, to these sensors - like an epileptic attack.' He pointed to the highlighted areas, where the readings quickly went off the charts.

'However, it's hard to tell why.' Finished the scientist, looking fearfully at the man with the stars on his shoulders.

'We may have a defective specimen, sir...'

Mr Younge got through the various checkpoints and into the complex itself, he donned a white labcoat and followed a group of Scientist's, they walked through into a room with a large glass tank in the middle, Younge looked closer he saw a creature rolled up in the middle of the tank, Younge slipped out a mini camera and took a quick picture, he walked up to a scientist "so err, whats new about the creature? Anything i should know about?"

OOC: Just to give you info, he's pritty much like a 14 year old boy except with gills, webbed feat and hands and larger eyes. o other real exterioial diffrences. lots of internal diffrences.

OOC: Oh and his skins blue.

Bump

The Garne Fishing Craft, Leaky was off the eastern shores of Parinodia chasing the dreamfish... it was near nightfall and the crew were sitting sails for the night and drawing in nets.-----

First Mate Dugall.."What in blazes do you mean you think you seen a blue mermaid.. Ye been at the rum again mate.. Ifn ye be ye knowed the cap will give ye six licks of the catanine then two days in the gallie.. so I'd not say nutin bout no blue mermaid.."
Ole Snik..."Ye nuz me mate I dunt drank till cap say kan. I seen it wit me un i's did i, it was a blue mermaid i see of stern about far one might toss a harparrow. Ifn had one might a hiter und then ye see I not drank."
FM Dugall.."Get back to ye post or I'll whip ye meself, and ferget them blue mermaids."
Ole Snik..."bez see it gan i will harp it good then ye cee i no me mermaids ifn cee un bez i drank or soooorrritieee." He takes a long swig from a small bottle then puts it back in his side pouch.. "durn out of rum."

The ship sailed on into the night only the night watch stood as all was silent as a full moon claimed her place in the clear skies over them..







------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm correct to assume he has a sister that is lost and he wants out to find her.. as saw this in one of the prior posts but she was not given a name..... so what is it...

Ooc: Wtf

Bump

The Scientist gave Younge a cold stare before walking off towards another machine, Younge looked around he dawdeled for a bit, and then suddenly felt a shiver down his spine, he was compeled to move closer to the tank, he needed a better look at the creature, he took out his miniture spy camera and inched ever closer to the tank.

I was board, tired and as the man edged closer I concenrated and sent him a message, Hi. Who are you?

Younge heard the message in his head, he thought for a short while that he was going mad, but a part of him believed that it was the creature that asked him who he was, "ummm?" He put his hand over his mouth and began to whisper "I'm Charlie Younge, an undercover reporter, errr? Who are you?"

My name is unprenouncabl in your language, I replied, enjoying this, and if this man was a reporter, he could get me out of here, You can call me toby as they do. And you need not speak alound as I can read yourthoguhts, though only if you want me to.

"Look at this," Queen Sappho said, holding up something with her blue hands which approximated paper. It had an elegant written language scribbled all over it, similar to musical notes. She and her daughter Delphi sat in an open courtyard, with the blue ocean above their domed city.

"What is it?" Delphi asked, looking up. She had been gazing down at the mosaic pattern on the floor of the courtyard, which rippled with the refracted light of the water above.

"It is an intelligence report from the outside world," Sappho said. "Some of their media are getting all excited about a 'blue boy'."

Delphi snatched the sheet of 'paper' from her mother and read its contents curiously. She then read them again.

"Do you think that he could be a Sea Reaper?" Delphi asked quietly.

"I doubt it," Sappho said. "Look at the details. He can't breathe air, and his hands aren't... well, like ours. Plus a Sea Reaper would have freed himself by now. Even a male. Still, tis a curious similarity, don't you think?"

"I want to see this boy in person," Delphi said determinedly, getting to her feet.

"Erm..."

"What, mother?"

"You're not exactly 'human' yourself," Sappho said, gesturing at her smooth, bright blue skin. "What makes you any less likely to be captured and locked up than he was?"

"Paint," Delphi said.

"Paint?"

"Paint."

"We don't have any paint."

"Oh... fine then." Delphi said down and continued looking at the mosaic thoughtfully.

OOC: TAG, in other words. I won't join in as you obviously only want human participation, I just thought the similarities were interesting...

OOC: You can join.

"umm hello toby?" Charlie tried to speak in his mind "are you an alien?" He asked bluntly, "I mean how did you get here?" He quickly rectified his error.

In a net. They caught me just because I saved one of your people lives. And I am not a alien, I belive your legends refer to my people as Atlantians I was enjoying myself now, if this man could release this informationt hen surly they would release me.

"wait, Atlantians? You mean Atlantis?" Charlie had never believed that Atlantis legends, but if it were true, he'd be famous.

"wait, Atlantians? You mean Atlantis?" Charlie had never believed that Atlantis legends, but if it were true, he'd be famous.
Maybe my mind detected a flicker of somthing else in this mans mind, the lust to be famous, best to be careful.

"so um, you mentioned somthing about a person you saved, could you tell me about this event?" Hopefully the creature would direct him to the person who could take him to Atlantis.

"so um, you mentioned somthing about a person you saved, could you tell me about this event?" Hopefully the creature would direct him to the person who could take him to Atlantis.
She crashed her jet ski and was drowning so i rescued her. Then we met again when she was scuba diving, I showed her the city and... I stopped, I'd said to much.

The young scout moved toward his Queen slowly as he had nothing to report.. He had searched the highwaters for the missing and only seen more boats, many boats, all threating, all uncaring, his mind still in pain from the thoughts coming from them.. Muddled thoughts, empty thoughts, horrow thoughts,, he only wanted to do his duty and report them; Then rest and feed his spirit with gentle ocean songs. Songs that might clear those thoughts bring him back to normalicy, let him again be himself, living, loving, caring again.. not lost in the emplty shadows of mankind... She turned to him, he bowed to her and extended her hand to touch his jaw, a gentle touch. He rose at her guide their minds now a single thought.... she knew the darkness of mankind he had found. Brief was the touch, brief was the exchange, briefly they were one; mental equals sharing thoughs.

Wasitoo, "My Queen, I have returned from my search and have seen only the human boats in numbers, more than normal. Thoughts from them entered my mind, they hunt us, they believe more are here, they have him, and may soon have his sister. I only come to report and rest, but others continue to search.. for out lost ones."
Q-Sappho, "Then go rest my loyal one,,, empty your mind of their thoughts so that you may truely return to us in all.. I know you well you have not failed, but hold the shame because two of our own are lost. We all feel it but we must not let it bleed us of hope; they will be found. Now go rest clear your memory of those dark thoughts that fill them..."

It was done she knew what he knew.... The young Wasitoo bowed toward his Queen, his mother, and felt his mind relax in her glory. He was home he was safe, forgotten were the darkness that had come into his mind from the humans... now he could rest, be at peace. He turned and moved out into the long hall to his small room, rest came to him.... his mind silent.. dream he did.....

"HEY YOU!" A security guard shouted from across the room, he pointed at Charlie who began to run, he fled into a room and quickly barricaded the door, he turned and realised that he had locked himself in a store cupboard, he slowly took the barricade down and walked out hands up, he had been caught at last.

Ericsson decided to drive to see the Blue Boy himself. He arrived at the lab, he showed his papers and entered the lab. He walked up to the tank and watched the Blue Boy, taking notes.

My freind was gone and now another was standing there watching me. why did they all do this I wondered. there was little I could now do, it's pritty boring. I considered calling one of the scientists but that wouldn't work, that'd just let them know more about me all i could do was wait.

after a series of interigations and the taking away of his mini camera Charlie was forced to spend the night in a prison cell, he thought about the days events "a girl" The creature had said "Atlantis is out there, but where?" he thought to himself, before eventually falling to sleep.

"Are you certain of this?" Sappho asked. They stood on the beach of The Island. The sea lapped up gently against the fine golden sand, while palm trees in the distance swayed in a light wind that had picked up. It was far from a tranquil scene, though. Guards were everywhere, their various, primitive-looking but potent weapons held in readiness. The war with the Land Reapers was now well underway, and there was little chance of the Princess and the Queen wandering around on the surface world without significant escorts.

"Yes mother," Delphi nodded as a curious, tiny, big-headed little man applied the last of her 'pink skin'. "Someone has to investigate, and I could not ask someone else to risk their life in my stead."

"Whoop! All done!" the creature said, hopping down to the ground and dancing around, waving his brush around. "Who wants to be painted next? I'm an artist! Whoop!"

"You look almost like a land mammal," Sappho said, looking her over. Her soft, bright blue skin had been painted a dull shade of peach, similar to a tanned Caucasian. It seemed a little consistent to be real, but it did the job. Her eyes, normally a bright red with black pupils, were now blue and white, as though human. If she looked too far in one direction a little red could be seen at the edge, but they were otherwise convincing. "How did you get your eyes like... that?"

"The Smartie called them 'contact glasses'," Delphi said. "Most uncomfortable, but necessary."

"What about your glow? Won't people notice that?" Sappho asked. Sure enough, Delphi appeared to be glowing ever-so-slightly. Sea Reapers and Smarties paid it no mind, but humans might notice.

"I can control it," Delphi said. She shut her eyes gently and furrowed her brow. The glow subsided. "It just requires a little effort."

"I still wish you would take a guard with you," Sappho protested as Delphi stood up and walked through the sand towards a Reaperski. "You are the first to venture outside of our lands -- you shouldn't go alone. Take a ship!"

"No mother," Delphi sighed. She put on some thick brown clothing over her semi-transparent silky dress. Humans were somewhat more conservative than they were. "This paint the Smarties have given me is mostly waterproof, so long as I am not jetted in the face. And these identity documents they have made are apparently based on real ones, so they should be fine too. They will think I am a 'zoo... zoologist', I think is the word. And I have picked up a lot of outsider language since we learned of them. I will be OK. Good bye, mother."

Guards jumped out of the way as the elegant, blue/green/pink shiny craft lifted off the ground and blasted forwards, humming as it splashed into the sea and skimmed across the surface, heading off into the distance. Sappho watched after her until she disappeared onto the horizon, until she and the guards walked into the sea and headed for home. The Smarties remained behind on the beach, throwing paint at each other.

Charlie was released the next morning and was forced to walk home in the rain, it was thundering aswell just to make things worse, he got home and immediatly switched on his computer, he had so much to write.

The Little Blue Man
undercover reporter Mr X has done it again, this time an undercover operation which ended in disaster when Mr X got caught, but in the time he was there Mr X discovered that the Blue Creature could talk, "it spoke to me and told me that it came from the lost city Atlantis." a supposed city that was taken by the sea, Mr X has decided not to release the wherabouts of this City in an attempt to find it himself

He sent the article to his boss via E-Mail, he got a reply soon after, it was short but got the point across

Vacation
Charlie, when was the last time you took a vacation, according to the work register it was 6 years ago, i'm putting you on vacation, if you come in to work tomorrow then i'll fire you, come back in 6 weeks.

They didn't believe him, but he'd show them when he found the lost city, he'd make them all sorry, he needed to find the little girl, he had nowhere to start and so spent the rest of the day thinking.

Ericsson sais to himself "I need to find a way to free him out of this tank." He decided to pump CS gas into the lab and then transport Blue Boy out and into freedom.

The old clerk walked into the newspaper office with the old folder.. He was looking for somebody.. Nobody seemed to notice him.. As he walked up to the dest and laid it down.. Then walked out..... As he knew he could not destroy this... It might prove where his daugher had gone. Dissapeared six years ago, only seven.. so many years lost. If anyone could find her it would be him...

Before he left he added a note... 'You believe this may guide you to answers and the truth, they would not reply to me this TRC lab..' Then without notice he walked out.. Home to his wife and dogs...

Ericsson sais to himself "I need to find a way to free him out of this tank." He decided to pump CS gas into the lab and then transport Blue Boy out and into freedom.


The Alarm light flashed red... on Sensor #23 Level #2 Hall West. Monitors showed only one of the staff moving in area.. So why was this dang alarm showing gas in the area.. No time now lunch. Peterman, would have to come and check the dang thing out as problably another faulty detector. Why do these dang things happen right when the pizza arrives. He flipped the disable switch on the alarms and went to let the pizza man in. He was hungry as had been on six hours of an eighteen hour shift and was not going to let his pizza get cold just to walk up four flights of stairs to check out faulty detectors, Peterman was paid well to fit them. Then he could come and do it.. Besides the Braves play the Hooters game was about to start at noon... and he had $50 on Braves... by 3.... He only saw staff in that lab area where they had that strange little blue thing... all he knew about it was what Mac had heard the janitor tell Joe about it... It Came from Mars, landed in the ocean and was caught by navy divers.. only after two were killed. Dang thing didn't look like no little green man to him more like one them dang mutes they always have getting out of the genetic lab on level six. Now they had all these quacks coming in all hours to view this blue freek. He relaxed as the National Athem played to start the game.. and picked up a piece of pizza.... they could just kiss his.. he was going to eat as he was under union rules allowed an hour and half for lunch so he was taking it now. To heck with alarms and lost staff..

OOC: Is it alright to RP as a scientist now?

The Ikan Watcher, Corrack, sat alone looking at the mystic screen before him.. Earth a greenish blue ball glowed with life but was not what he had expected it to be. The evil dark energy circled it like a dull cloud only blocking him from focusing on it.. Today the flionic levels were much to high for him to do more study of Earth.. So he turned to update his report to the Grand Census..

DAY 33 Observation Earth, Solilos. There has been no noted change in the humans they continue to be savage. Recent interventions of new lifeforms has them even more unstable as they have aways been affaid of what might rest beyond their small world. They have made some progress in space travel but individual social units work within to promote banning such excursions into space as might give rise to them loosing power over the lower classes of humans.. The Homowhite are now still main force on the planet but may in time kill themselves off to a level they will not be such.. thus leaving the Minomites, Bluewaves, or Hillfolks to move into social betterment among these humans. We expect that in another sixty years if they have not devistated their world with their neutronic weapons then they shall simply run out of natural resources to meet the population growth.. As you have seen in prior reports they don't even trust themselves and have little mercy on those who for any social cause don't follow in memory as they might see images of doing. Today they hunt what they believe is from outside their world, or from some dream realm long gone from it... Thus clearly an indication of their inability to shine at a level for us to make formal relations with them possible.. We do see keeping our agents in place to survey the planet and people thus provide us with a responce should they by some grace learn to reach deeper into space and thus find our mission on Mars and Pluto.. Already we have blocked the arrival of a number of their probes that got far to close and might have detected the sites. As an agent in the right posting on Earth can effect in secret images they have of possible intervention from space thus holding our presence in the system secret. We recieve six reports a day from agents on the surface thus we feel they need to be maintained there for at least two more triasters. As we must not allow them to find out the truth about this so Called Toby Blue Boy.. So our agents have been instructed to create as many diversions as possible to cover the truth up.

A blue light on the corner of his screen flashed telling him that his meal was ready and that his wives and children were already in the dining hall waiting for him. Thus he closed his micromanager and left to join them..

OOC: Can I remind you that you have 1 caracter only, thank you.

The Ikan Watcher, Corrack, walked to the door to see who had come to his home at meal time.. A tall man in a light gray suit stood there, six armed guards waited not far off.. This was Sahima, his supervisor.

Sahima, "Corrack, I have come to collected your files and equipment. The Grand Census has decided to put and end to our study of Earth and the humas, we shall let them kill themselves. We have already sent messages to our agents on the surface to return at once to Homeland."
Corrack, "Why we were just.."
Shimas, "Corrack the trouble with you is you don't think just speak, you could well be a level seven watcher but for your ideals and concerns for offworlders."
Corrack, "But, I was only trying to serve our best.."
Shimas, "Silence, step aside and let them take what we need to.. I warn you if you inter face with Earth again and are found you will be tranfused, along with your wives and kids."
Corrack could only follow orders as he stood and watched them remove all his files and equipment
Shimas, 'Consider yourself on leave for a couple of muntals. Then report to me and I will have a new assignment for you."
Corrack bowed as the tall man and the guards left. He did not want to risk transfusion for himself and family... Thus he would follow orders and leave Earth alone...

-------------------------------------------
OOC: sorry forgot me manners...

BUMP

OOC: If you find his sister I'll control her.

Corrack felt uneasy about his deception of the Central Council but it has gone just as Old Masiton has said it would if they did right... About now the Grand Census would be turning all his papers over to them and they in turn review the lies he had fabricated on the humans.. If they did what was normal then they would ban all contact with Earth and the humans. This is what the Centrax wanted as it would leave Earth for them to move to. They for years had searched system after system for a single world that would support them... Earth was that one, green lands, fresh water, and clean air; something not known on Tislaxia for milliun as wars and over population had ruined it's natural beauty in just under six generations.. Now the Central Council also was searching for another world. Thus had Corrack gained the trust to become High Scout and Chief Survey Legent. Under his office he could find a world that they might move to.. far from Tislaxia and it's Pagan Central Council lead by the Grand Census. The people were no more than slaves working for nothing to feed the greed of the Council Membership.

Corrack walked to a room where a young girl was waiting and moved silently to her... bedside....
Anili, "Papa, have you come to read me a story or will you go out again this night.."
Corrack, "No my piguta, I will stay with you this night and read. What will it be tonight."
Anili, "Tell me of Merielinda, in that book there.."
Corrack picked up the small book and read, "Earth was a silly place filled with winged nogets and walking hobirs... This is where Merielinda, had been born millages past." He paused to let her look at the map of Earth and the one of a small blue female amost like her.. only with blue skin.
Anili, "How soon can it be that we might go to Earth and I can play with Merielinda."
Corrack, "Soon my child but you must not speak of this for someone may hear you and this is secert only for you and I."
Anili, "I sorry papa, but I eager for a new friend as all those my age here are nutziods and they refuse to play with me saying that I'm class two trash."
Corrack, "You must not be angry at them for they are mentals and know little else than what they are taught from birth in the Moritoriun.."
Anili, "I know papa, but it is no fun to be near them they smell and are just mean toward me. Why can not you an mamaw teach me here at home.. I know that Anilica and Bestina are taught at home."
Corrack, "We have explained that my child, you must learn from the Qressba all that they share with you.. Perhaps when you are agent then we will let you learn at home now you must there."
Anili, "Okay papa, I don't want to hear more of Merielinda. I'll just wait to meet her." She kissed him and turned away from him; as he laid down the book and left, leaving only a small light burning in her room..
Corrack walked toward the bar as he needed a snickle now... it would ease his heavy mind for he knew what dangers laid ahead for all of them.. It would be another triset before the craft was ready thus he had to be very careful to avoid Central Council spies. He drank the single shot and walked to his sleeping pod.. Suddenly he felt old lost.... sleep came slow but did come..

--------------------------------------------
OOC: We will have to wait and see if
Corrack "pronounced "-Kar Rack-" gets
his daugher Anili "pronounced -Ann Lee-" to Earth to meet Merielinda "pronounced -Mary Linda-" (the blue skinned female)..
as it now my chow time... dream in peace...
Corrack is a level three Ikan Scout who tends to say what he thinks before he considers it.. He with others have been working to escape their dying planet and the savage rulers there.
Anilica "pronounded -Angel-" and
Bestina "pronounced -Betty-" are his twin daughters buy an earlier wife as Anili is their half sister from a later wife.. *Names are written in native hand but the proper way to say it is"-noted-"..

OOC: Okay, I need to think of a name for his sister humm... I'll say ti when you find her.

OOC: Ahem

(OOC: since no-one wants to RP as the girl who found the Blue Boy i guess i'll kill off my character and start again as the little girl, if this is cool)

Corrack woke early as he had to meet with the others and make final plans and decide the exact place and time of launch... Also they needed to payoff they Police at Systror... as they had raised it to 2.34 gruas instead of 1.22 gruas.. Thus it had meant they had to sale and extra pigen at market without alerting the Trade Bosses. He had a short walk to the place of meeting along the river now red with the toxins common now in all the rivers.. Once when he was young he had caught a 2.2' groop from the river but now he could barely stand the stench as he walked near it toward the meeting place. The blue sun was at peac so he was not late but early for they had said just past sun peac.. so he had time to think... His mind wondered to a new place far from here that he had seen once with his father. Gone was his father hung by the Council for some minor crime... Leaving Corrack a ward of the Council thus sent to work in the uncorna mines. He was lucky he proved smart and got noticed by one of the Bigboys who helped him move out and learn to Scout and Measure land areas.. Thus soon he was a level one Scout in the Ikan Land Office. That was yegons ago now he was just a level three Scout, not expecting to move up in this state social structure he was in. He heard a sound behind him and turned.. It was nobody just a rugrat chasing cortos, where were they they should be here he thought... He waited another hour then turned homeward.. thinking had they been found, what could he do now.. he needed them, they had the craft, the pilots,,, everything depended on them.. Maybe tommorrow he thought and entered his house...
-------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: If you get the name let me know so can adjust my part... or you may use ...to Earth to meet Merielinda "pronounced -Mary Linda-" (the blue skinned female).. As I will work with this..... to met you in the story.. She is on Earth that is all that Corrack knows right now.. from an old book he was give years ago.... the one he reads to his daughter,......:}.. but will hold now not spoil it.. and say to much.. thus spoil the fun of finding out where we go with this.. have fun....peace

OOC: Spooty thast fine.

Garnilorn, how about Aninatia (Pronounced-Anita)

Corrack sat in the dark in his library thinking of how long it had been since he and his dad had visited Earth and spent several trisets watching the humans up close. His mother, Merielinda, had not wanted to come but she had insisted and his dad could never refuse her smile and evil eye look.. They had been on Earth about two hours when native hunters saw then and started after them. They were a distance from the craft and had to run from the nine humans who wanted them as slaves. In the past visits they had only moved into safer regions but even now they found these were filled with wild humans often hunters who sought others as slaves. Corrack reached the craft first and was able to open the entry door and enter.. His father and mother had fallen behind and the hunters had his mother.. His father stood there looking first at her then at him. Corrack could do nothing he did not know how to operate the craft or systems on it only his parents knew that and they were not able now to do so... He heard his mother scream, "Go my love save yourself and our son. You mus....." The hunters ended her sceam as three pulled her down... His father turned toward the craft as six chased him.. He made it just in time to secure the solid entry on one native thus keeping the others out... Shielding on the craft would keep them out long enough to launch and get away. Corrack watched as his father fired the engines and they lifted off leaving the savages below them. His mother was gone they had no choice but to leave her behind and hope one day to come back and save her.. Corrack sipped his cold melloon and just sat silent in the darkness as he only wanted to find his mother, Merielinda, lost years ago on Earth.. She had given her self for them... He had sworn to find her one day and bring her home to if it be rest beside his father in her rightful place. His mind relaxed, dreams were slow to come but did come......


Bogg, head of the hunters: "Come on back here we got one looks like a female dun got some illness as her skin is blue.."
Torn, "Ye don't think see be evil sick... do you by her skin."
Bogg, "Seen likes her, years ago when was on naval duty."
Sacc, "We chased the others they got away,, had some kind of flying thing hidden over yonder... nuting we coud do."
Bogg, "This one ough fetch us all a shank or two at Slaveryvil."
Redd, after examing their catch, "It will on fetch about nine prees shy a full shank."
Bogg, "Look at her woomers seen likes fetch at least two."
Redd, 'but she be too short only four feet few."
Torn, "Only way we goun get anything fuh hur is get to Slaveryvil and see what the market will bring.."
Bogg, "Yea we need to get in before sunfall looks like evil winds moving in."
Latre, "Do we carry this on a pole or make her walk on her own legs."
Bogg, "Pole her ifn you be one want to carry her shez had two legs let her walk on them."
Redd, "sides we already have two pigs poled and Tree and Grutt can't haul much more."
Tree, "who made you boss, we only carry them cause Bogg will take away coke ifn we refuse."
Grutt, "coke, is it time yet.. ima ready." the ugly little Idiotal laid down and opened his mouth waiting..
Bogg, "get yur hind up Grutt, ye dang well know ye only get more coke when we get back to camp.."
Grutt and Tree, "yeas Bigen Bogg, we sees yo point."

The nine moved sought pushing their captive forward at the point of a sharp spear prode. The gold sun felt sore on her flesh as they had removed her hides and left he nude, her blue skin heated under this gold sun.. She felt it grace her soul... but could do nothing but move where they drove her to go..
-----------------------------------------------
OOC: Go with that as it works for me.. I didn't want my blue lady to be the one everyone was looking for anyway... but now that have name will be able to move toward a relation between her and 'Merielinda' without closing where others might go with her until I can get to her... Don't won't to say too much in open as will spoil the fun.. like telling ending before see movie.. peace in play... my friend..GW

ooc: 'kAY, I'll wait for some more replys before posting.

Violet sat on the dock watching seabirds dive for fish. A soft golden sun was setting to her right. She at first didn't notice the blue creature in the shadows og the dock but something made here look there near the ladder. Other than for blue skin it could have been just another child like her but she was different in some ways..
Violet, "Who are you, why are you hiding there.. come out so I can see you more." nothing came back, maybe she didn't understand maybe she was not able to hear her or talk to here.. "Wait, don't go I won't hunt you..." As soon as she had been seen this blue girl was gone back into the ocean..
Violet had never seen anything like it but she took out here drawing pad and made a picture of her. About four feet tall blue skin strange webbed feet and seemed to have on no clothing at all.. Her hair was long white falling down to her waist. Her eyes she could not be sure the color but seemed to be empty round dark things, almost like a barn owl eyes only void of color.. but maybe it was the shadows that made here see her this way. She closed the pad and picked up her other things and started for home. A name heard silent in some part of her mind was there but not heard.. "I'm Merielinda, can you help me..." it meant nothing as Violet had these voices calling her all the time.. seeking nothing more than to be heard.. This one was lost gone nothing more than a voice that came and left..
Violet, 'Mom, I'm home if meal is not soon I'll be in my room doing my school chores." see sat down at the computer and enter 'blue - skinned - animal - human" then tapped on the search key... it was slow but it was better than nothing or the ones they had at school.. her dad had gotten it for her when she started grade nine in the public system on her 14 year. The computer clicked -- wizzed -- buzzed -- the a reply///no such find please check or try again new words//// no such find/// do you want to try again...? She tapped 'no' shut it off then picked up her math book..

-------------------------------------
OOC: it is okay that I take up the lost Merielinda here as will give later how she escapes from those who caught her.. if I may...

OOC: Ahem

OOC: Ahem
OOC: Yes?

OOC: Is the option of RPing as a scientist still open?

OOC: YEs.

OOC: Just tell me what I need to know then to RP as a scientist.

Corrack heard the knock on his entry and moved to see who was there... He was not expecting anyone but maybe... It was Masiton, at least he was still free and had not been found by the Council Security Agents..
Masiton, "We must hurry as they wait for you, have you got the payment needed."
Corrack, "Yes I have it... But first tell me where we go and why they were not at our last meet.. Has something gone bad."
Masiton, "Nothing is wrong, they spotted CSA and went into a music hall to avoid them.. Had to stay hours listening to Rapistones.. Anyway they are waiting we must hurry they will not wait long.."
Corrack put on his coat and got bag of coins from his safe... Then outside they headed toward the old part of the city..

------------------------------------------------------------------

OOC: The Blue Boy is now held in a lab... he was caught and taken there... So far not much is known about him by those who found him... He was looking for his sister,, her name was set as Anita.... They call the Blue Boy Toby... he can mind read... but we humans can't hear him..

On Corrack he is outside the main part moving into it... He is on another world wanting to escape there with his wives and children... Also he seeks to find out what happened to his mother, Merielinda, lost on Earth years ago when Corrack was a kid and they came with his father to earth.. mother was taken by native but Corrack and father escaped..

Sappho also is in as Queen of Toby's people an they are searching for him and sister.. Will let somebody else tell you more them or you can read it..

Right now I'm building into the events on Earth from off it... with an idea of what might come about but my end will depend on what others do from here.. So go read what has happened so far and then work it.. Somebody wants to pick up Merielinda and that with me is okay.... as will continue with Corrack....Peace...GW

OOC: Thats about it. A bit of information about the blue boy-he looks like a human 14 year old. His skins blue, he has webbed hands and gills. Je's a bit diffrent inside as well.

Bump

Verel yawned as he walked down the corridor to the lab. Blasted early wakeup. Why didn't they tell him. Along with what exactly he was supposed to work on.

BUMP (Will post soon.)

OOC: I think it's about time you posted what you plan too.

OOC: I'm at work, I'll post when I get home,I forgot about this, SORRY!

My brother was gone, gone. He hadn't returned from going out fishing, he must haver gone somehwere-to where I don't know, he'd be back. At least if he hasn't been captured.

He can't have been captured, he's too clever, to agile to be caught, but better to be safe than sorry,, I'll retreat into the city where they cannot find me.

OOC: Blast. Writer's block. What's the room like?

OOC: Which one?

OOC: Which one?

OOC: The room with the Blue Boy. That is where I am supposed to go?

OOC: Normal lab, computer at one end with equipment, big salt water tank in the centre with the boy in it.

She came again, walking down that metal passage sulkily, wearing those things humans wear, what are they called? I cannot remember but they tried to make me wear them. Clothes that’s it.

They where close fitting things they tried to make me wear, they where two warm and kept a close layer of water next to the skin, I’m designed for the sea, I don’t need them. I keapt slipping out of them after a while they stopped trying to make me wear them.

Hers look baggy and comfortable. She’s coming over to me and I swim towards her, trying to avoid bumping into the invisible wall that separates us. She lifts a palm and presses it against the glass, I do the same, out hands almost touching, my webbed fingers against her separated ones.

Then she smiles and says something I can’t hear. I could look into her mind and find out what it was but I know what I will find there, a maelstrom of thoughts and feelings. Animal minds are far simpler. It’s all I can do to communicate when she is sleeping by invading her dreams.

You need a open mind to communicate with humans, and there minds are always close like a shut book when there awake, preoccupied with other things when they are awake.

The scientist watching me is dozing, I close my eyes and drift to the bottom to the tank, probing quietly, then I push to hard and he jolts awake looking at me curiously.

He speaks into a radio and still watches, I stare back, trying to look innocent, I can see he doesn’t believe me, he knows what I was doing in the dark corners of his mind, and he doesn’t like it. I stick my tongue out and swim upwards, towards the top of the tank, bursting from the water in a explosion before arching my back and plunging down again.

I see that something happening up there and I tread water, head above the water, gills below. There bringing something, someone out, it’s her again, Annie’s her real name.

She’s dressed in scuba gear so she can breathe underwater, like she was when we met the second time. I know that she didn’t mean to betray me, and I smile at her. She smiles aqwardly back beneath the faceplate and then dives backwards into the pool, I smile and dive as well, swimming round her as she tries to reorientate herself.

The I tread water in front of her and we slowly sink to the bottom the tank, she raises her palm and I press mine against the glove, she didn’t wear gloves before, I decide to do something I hadn’t done before, I press my thoughts into her mind to communicate, before we’d spoken through hand signals.

Hi She gasps and takes a step back, exclaiming into her mike, the scientists jerk up and look at us, her mind is a maelstrom of thoughts, How…Why…What…where…. I press my mind against hers calming her mind down, soothing it.

Focus your thoughts I tell her and I feel her beginning to get a grip, I’m amazed she hasn’t shut her mind to me. You can reply through your thoughts, can you hear me? I ask, and then a single bold message comes across.

Yes.

I smiled again, no one else knows I can do this, this how my people communicated underwater, I told you, or so my sister told me.

She exclaimed something into the mike again, I didn’t need to be able to read her mind to tell what it was, “Sister!”

Not so loud, I had 2 sisters one younger and one older, the older ones dead but my younger sisters still alive and I need to get out of here to look after her. I told her urgently, she was looking at me wide eyed, was this the best thing to tell her? She was already shocked about me talking and I could sense that she was ready to cry out at any moment, cry out and tell them. Don’t! I shouted at her, but it was too late, she lost her footing and was falling through the water backwards, way from me. I could see her screaming into her mike, it didn’t take physic powers to work out what she was saying, “It can speak!” Or something along those lines anyway.

The cable attached to her back jerked and began to pull her up, out of the water way from me to where she would tell them the truth, I grabbed at her but she shook me off, her face looking down at me with a expression that seemed to say ‘I’m Sorry’. The she broke the water and I could see her no longer. I didn’t want to either. She had betrayed me.

I drifted to the bottom of the tank and into a fitful sleep.

"So what do we know so far?" asked Verel as he walked in.

OOC: To be safe, I'm bumping this.

OOC: It look like theres just us 2 so far, you'll have to post a bit more indepth than that.

OOC: Well, my character is just asking what is known about the Blue Boy, and I don't really know what that much about the room.

OOC: I'm thiniking about restarting this back to the first post with a sign up thread to get some actual commitment in what u think?

OOC: I think that might be a good idea. I'm completely confused by this thread now, lol. Go away for a week and all hell breaks loose... :p

Aye I'll post a sign up thread.

OOC: Is it still open?

OCC: Yes
