Fox Mulder

[First half - Alien Invasion AU / Voice post May 28]

[For the early half of the experiment, Mulder is from a post apocalyptic wreck of earth that's been invaded by aliens! He's been fighting the war for a long time, so he's a little bit restless still being stuck in a small village. He opens the book for a message.]

Anyone ever get tired of hanging around this fake little paradise? I've got a little alien party to get back to, I don't have time to play in the woods. Damn extraterrestrials... I swear if I meet any here... If you so much as LOOK like you're from another planet, I'll kick your ass.

[He'll be randomly teleporting around all throughout this first half, mostly ending up in people's houses!]

[Second half - Conspiracy/Abducted AU / Voice post June 3]

[The second half, Mulder has changed, most notably he's only got one arm and a great deal of regret. He's also got a Prophet Mask on, and is floating- yes, literally floating- ALL OVER TOWN hassling people with "predictions". He's also leaving a trail of sparkles wherever he goes. Time for another journal message...]

Why is it that I can envision everyone else's future BUT my own? Just once, I'd like to know how things are gonna turn out. Just once.

[Mulder glances around at the latest scenery. He knows this place, knows it all too well. Skyland Mountain. Where they took Scully. Where so many horrible things started for her- the abduction, the experiments, the cancer, the daughter who never got to really live.]

Up, up, ascending... ascending to the stars...

I wonder, if I wait long enough- Look! They're here! Exactly how it really happened.

[Mulder tilts the journal so that the lights off of a UFO can be seen in the night sky.]

I'm gonna go check this out and see what happens. Someone feed my fish if I'm not back soon...

[Except as Mulder approaches the light a very different kind of abduction takes place, as droids sweep out from the surrounding trees. There's gunfire and fighting sounds, along with Mulder cursing a bunch... and then everything is silent.]

[There's a squelching sound of someone falling into a very muddy area. Then that someone curses under his breath, followed by the distinct sound of some very angry toads who he's disturbed. Many of whom also curse along with the general annoyed croaking.]

Hello? Who's there? Who said that? Scully, are you with me? Can you hear me? SCULLY!?!

[There's a pause, and more muddy squelching. And more grumpy voices in the background as Mulder appears to have fallen into a whole clan of toads. He seems to take this in stride though, thinking aloud as he tries to gain his bearings. He picks up the book that's near him and eyes it curiously. It's very out of place here, but he's already drawing his own conclusions.]

Let me guess. I've finally been abducted by aliens. I knew it was a matter of time, but somehow I always assumed the experience would involve less falling face down in the mud, and more probing.

Not that I want any probing, I'll pass on that opportunity.

So now the question is- aside from where the hell are my real clothes- where am I? My theories include afterlife or parallel dimension, maybe a mix of the two with a dash of government-initiated kidnapping thrown in. It's not every day you wake up in someone else's clothes with wings sprouting out of your back for no reason. Wings that hurt like a bitch when I pull on the feathers, I might add.

[Yeah he already tried that. Is it really any surprise he's already tried that?]

So what's going on here? Who's responsible for this? Was I subjected to an experiment of some kind? Kept imprisoned as a test subject and cast off to the wilderness as soon as they were done with me? Is this Russia? It better not be Russia. I didn't have such great accommodations the last time I went there.

[...and is it just him or are ALL of the toads in the area looking ready to gang up on him? He's deciding he's overstaying his welcome here. Time to get moving. In some direction. So Mulder can be found hurrying the rest of the way through the woods and into town. He's covered in mud and followed close behind by a whole bunch of very disgruntled toads.]
