[Action/Telepathy ... Later Written]

[Action]

[Mulder woke up today in the blue, alien form of an Andalite At the moment, he's heading away from his building. It's too confining in there all of a sudden. As he runs along on his centaur-like body, his thought-speech is telepathically transmitted and can be 'heard' by anyone who happens to be in the area. His bladed tail whips around a little while he struggles to understand his new form.]

< Where's my mouth?! I can breathe, but how's a guy supposed to eat? What kind of species IS this? I wanted to see firsthand what these experiments are really like... Looks like I should be more careful what I wish for. >

[He'll keep going off away from buildings and toward the forest, his instincts making him crave wide open areas.]

[Later on, Written]

[By the time he writes his message, Mulder has had a chance to adjust better.]

Right, so if I'm not some kind of alien life form at the moment, then I want my money back.

Seven fingers, a horse-like body, blue fur, eyestalks? And that's the least of it. I seem to have acquired some unusual capabilities as part of the package deal. There's no chance this kind of being could exist on earth.

This is one hell of an experiment to go through for a first-timer, though I'm starting to become more fascinated by this experience. Are many people being transformed into something completely unlike the life on their world? I bet there are a bunch of us out there.

[Action] | HOLY CRAP AN ANDALITE *huge Animorphs nerd*

[If this species doesn't set off the local astrobiologist, nothing would.

Turtle Robert is just... walking around the village now, probably heading back to his Community Building, or maybe out doing some mundane task as his turtle self. He's mostly gotten used to being a turtle. Mostly. Hopefully he isn't breaking chronology doing this.

But when he sees Mulder's new body, galloping through the streets towards the forest, and hears the voice in his head - like with Winry Rockbell's form - he stops, dead, and turns to look. What...?

Blue? His colour spectrum vision is off, to be sure, but blue?]


... My word...

What an amazing non-human sapient. [Don't mind the giant anthropomorphic mutant red-eared slider staring at you, Mulder-as-Andalite.]

[Action] XDD!! I was going through our listed canons and went OMG THIS IS AWESOME FOR MULDER

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mulder pauses abruptly and glances over. That probably shouldn't surprise him, but the sight of the mutant turtle does, anyway. It's different talking over the journals than actually seeing one.]

[Since he's not very that used to this form, he's not fully accustomed to the fact that he's still communicating by telepathy.]


< Another turtle, like the one I talked to the other day? Or given this experiment, he could be anyone... >

[Action] | Andalites are awesome period <3

[Robert approaches closer - a little slowly, of course. He's careful not to seem threatening, because that quick-moving bladed tail could do some damage in a panic. But clearly this is a fellow villager.]

... Ah, the species you are currently is also a telepathic one. Most fascinating...

I am only temporarily a turtle... Normally I am a homo sapiens sapiens, but the Malnosso apparently have a sense of irony. [Robert smiles weakly.] But I do know the other turtles in Luceti... quite well, in fact. [And that little smile gets a bit more shy. One of the aforementioned turtles, the purple-mask-wearing one? That's his boyfriend.]

I take it that this is not a species from your world?

[Action] | That they are! XD

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
< Wait, you can hear me? Telepathy, huh... That makes as much sense as anything, especially since I have no other way to communicate verbally. >

[Mulder is now trying to get himself used to communicating like this for the time being. It's not so bad, since in this form it's just... natural to him.]

< Oh, so you're familiar with the turtles? I had an interesting chat with one of them when I was settling in here. As for whatever I am... We don't have anything like this where I'm from. Although I have seen some pretty weird stuff in my line of work, this is pretty out there, even for me. I'm normally as human as they come, myself. >

[Action]

[identity profile] herpderpetile.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
[That logic does seem to make sense... though it hadn't held in the last case, with Ms. Rockbell. Still, Robert nods at it.] I can hear you... well, moreso percieve your statements. I don't think you are actually vocalizing anything.

Oh? Do you happen to recall which turtle it was?

And the species you are looks... incredible. [Robert studies the Andalite form with intense interest.] Blue pigmented fur, if my colour spectrum vision does not fail me... and a hexapodal state, though you are only quadrupedal... Ah, and those eyestalks! All so fascinating. Your shape would suggest some kind of ungulate, at least by Terran planetary standards. Of course, those standards hardly apply to other planets, much less other multiversions...

And that tail seems to suggest some aggression. [This is said with no small amount of discomfort.] But... yes, I do not recognize this sort of species, despite my studies in astrobiology.

[Action]

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
< Oh, the turtle's name was Donatello. I think he mentioned a few others like him being here. >

[There were already a lot of fascinating species here to begin with, but this week seems to have brought out the weird stuff.]

< I didn't think I'd get any easy answers about what I'm supposed to be... and that tail is definitely not something you'd want to mess around with. Either an attacking or defense mechanism, of some kind. I'm still baffled what I'm supposed to do for nourishment... >

[Mulder glances at the tail, which he finds that he can bring all the way to his front. He takes a step back so as not to accidentally stab Robert with it.]

< So you're an astrobiologist? Now THAT sounds fascinating. You would have fit in well with the department I work in back home. >

[Action]

[identity profile] herpderpetile.livejournal.com 2011-03-31 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Robert is definitely perking up at that name.] Ah, yes, that is indeed true. And I know Donatello... quite well. [Shy little smile from Robert, get.] I also am acquainted with the rest of his family.

Have you tried checking your other extremities? Some organisms ingest food in unorthodox ways. [Robert glances over the centaur-like (not that he'd know what a centaur is) body, searching for anything that resembles some kind of intake system.]

Oh... Yes, I am an astrobiologist. Certified for the Randi Institute of Terra. [Robert nods a bit, smiling.]

... Is that so? What sort of department do you work in, if I may ask? [Robert continues studying the Andalite as he speaks.]

[Action]

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Mulder is very intrigued by this, now. He hadn't expected to meet anyone who could be so helpful... an astrobiologist is just what he needs.]

< I'm an FBI agent, and the department I work for is called the X-Files. I investigate crimes that have a supernatural angle to them. I've come across a lot of unusual lifeforms in my time... but nothing exactly like this. Hm... I wonder if in that case... >

[He holds out his hands to look at them a moment, but other than the new fingers, nothing looks out of the ordinary. The next thing are his hooves, but he can't quite see the bottom of them that easily. But still, now that he gives it some more thought, something is strange about the feel of them.]

< I wonder if it's possible I'm absorbing nutrients from the ground somehow? >

[Action]

[identity profile] herpderpetile.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
FBI? What does that acronym stand for? [As Robert listens to the explanation, he nods slightly.]

Ah, well, astrobiology is not considered supernatural on Terra... it is a reputable scientific field. Many discoveries have been made since the initial results found by the probe Quark and its companion dropship Lepton. [Robert's gaze drops to the limbs of the form in front of him.]

Hrm... That is actually completely plausible. Would you mind if I perhaps lifted one of your legs and checked the bottom of your hoof? There might very well be some sort of visible intake system. After all, those hooves are somewhat different than what I would expect on a Terran ungulate... and this body looks adapted to relatively quick quadrupedal motion, so perhaps the species is some kind of herd animal. The only question is how the food is actually drawn into the stomach from the limbs... many species have some equivalent of an esophagus, but fighting gravity all the time would be inefficient...

Ah, so much opportunity for unique insights. [Robert is beaming inside even if he looks pensive.]

[Terra, still a sky bison, perks up as she sees the strange creature approach. She was curled up, but now she unstretches and heads over for a better look.]

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Mulder is moving along at a good pace, but then he notices another large creature along his path. He slows, wary of what- or who- this might be. And is still communicating telepathically, though he's not realized it yet.]

< I'm going to guess that whatever this is, he or she wasn't originally like that. Very interesting looking creature, though... >

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a sky bison. At least, I am right now.

[Staaaaaare.]

...what are you?

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mulder stares back, totally fascinated.]

< Wait, so you can hear me!? ...Must be some kind of telepathy... > [Mulder is just accepting of this explanation without question.] < I've always wanted to try being a telepath for a while. This is pretty cool. Except, I have NO IDEA what I'm supposed to be. Some kind of alien life form, I suspect... Wait, that voice... You're really Terra? >

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra's enormous head nods.]

I turned into this a couple of days ago. It's not from my world, though...or your form.

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
< I've never seen anything like you, either. There doesn't seem to be any sort of logic to what we become or why... >

[identity profile] heavenslament.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I wish I knew....

...are you alright like that?

[Not having a mouth must be weird.]

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-04-02 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Very weird, although Mulder is adjusting, gradually.]

< This is apparently natural for whatever species I am, so I think I'll be fine once I'm more used to it. Guess I won't be munching on any sunflower seeds for a while, though. >

[And here we have another horse-shaped lifeform. This one, however, looks like mostly like someone crossed a bat and a horse and then made the whole thing carnivorous.

And then there's the fact that it won't be visible unless Mulder happens to have seen death...]

[action]

[identity profile] ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mr. Spooky here has seen a lot of death in his line of work, over the years. He stops to give the strange horse a long, curious stare.]

< Huh. I don't know if this one is alien or maybe some kind of spirit-creature... but whatever the case, there's something very ominous about it. >

[action]

[identity profile] gamblinghigh.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Given that he's done his fair share of staring, Setzer doesn't comment on the stare he gets.]

I'm hardly a spirit.

< Really? I get an especially... spooky feel from you. Any idea what kind of species you are? >

[Not that Mulder is any less weird-looking at the moment. By earth human standards anyway.]

[action]

[identity profile] gamblinghigh.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
I've not the slightest idea, I'm afraid.

Experiment or not, I can't find it in me to complain too much.
