[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.

I've not the slightest idea, I'm afraid.

< Ditto on that. Apparently this experiment turns us into species not even from our own worlds. >

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

< No? You really don't mind the change in form? I have to admit, that's the first time I've heard someone say that so far. >

I must admit to having missed the sky of late.

< So then do you... normally have the ability to fly in your regular form? >

[That whole 'missed' part doesn't sound good, so hopefully this isn't too sore of a subject.]

Not on my own, at least. But I've enough to fly with.

< Oh yeah? What do you use to fly if I might ask? >

[He'd love to hear the word "spaceship."]

Why, an airship of course.

< Airships, huh? Are they very common where you're from? >

Not in the least. She's the only one in the world.

< That's pretty impressive. > [And tells him it's a very different world, where air travel doesn't seem to have caught on.] < So it must be a new invention where you're from, if there's only the one? >

Say rather there's a distinct lack of pilots.

< So you're really all there is, huh? >

For better or worse, yes.

< I'm sure you could have made quite a living out of transporting people and things around. >

I had other ways of earning my livelihood.

< Oh yeah? What would those be? >

Why, they call me the wandering gambler at home.

< You make a living out of gambling? You must be pretty comfortable relying on your luck then. And would fit in well at Las Vegas, a city that thrives on gambling where I'm from. >

Luck is what you make of it.

< Sounds like a good attitude to have. >

It's served me quite well, over the years.

< I'm sure it has. It must be an exciting lifestyle. >

What's life without a bit of thrill?
