Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh...My...." A slender furred head which had peaked from within a room down the hall gawked in amazed horror. His curiosity had gotten the better of him as his imagination had tried to puzzle out the various clicking, clacking, hisses, and muffled growl-like speach noises he had heard from the hallway outside his room. He adamantly decided his imagination was a much freindlier place apon veiwing the mariad of huge and threatening creatures standing before him. His own shifted form seemed quite vulnerable in comparison. Blue eyes stared for several moments and while he stood half-hidden by the door frame he gingerly tested his balance. If they moved towards him he was ready to run, and he had the feeling that he could run fast!

OOC: FINALLY I was hoping someone would take the initiative in being part of the first group. I'm trying to get Kemmenlith to do it in the other thread but i'm not sure if he'll be able to pull it off so nicely. *glompies the new guy* Were you the one who listened to One Winged Angel in class btw? Ermak said one of his new friends was...*sigh* It just makes me wish even more I was down there instead of up here in the heat. I'm sure people there could appreciate my eccentricites as opposed to staring funny and slowly edging away.

Sabel jumps and gives a little yelp as the bear comes into view but quickly manages to calm herself, and does her best to smooth down her bristling fur. "Well...at least he's a mammal." She laughs to herself weakly.

OOC: Yikes, short post...oh well maybe i'll get more active as my consciousness surfaces. I'm still kinda sleepy right now...even though it's 1:30 pm...

Lune turns his head toward the newly arrived altered people as they appear, his face might have shown some surprise if he was still able to move it that much. He clearly notices the two, rather panicky looking ones hiding in a doorway and decides against addressing them first. He turns toward the only one who seems to have full and practiced control of his limbs.

"I am Lune, I believe that there are others behind me but... they sseem sskittishh." Lune clacks his mandibles slightly in frustration at the remaining speach difficulties. He moves slightly, and carefully, to one side in order to allow this far more experienced individual access to the rest of the group without having to skirt Lune's own bulk. Lune is ready to strike if he has to, although he doesn't sense any hostility from this male.

"The Hyena iss named Sabel. I only introduce her because she hass... phobia... about me." Lune seems to try a frown, not successfully. His frustration with his inability to express himself well seems to be the most bothersome part of his new form at the moment.

OOC: i worship the godlike epitome of bishounenity that we humbly refer as The Great Sephiroth *bows to her shrine* I'm always intersted in meeting other slav...er... fans of Sephiroth. I'm number four. *shows roman numeral of four on her hand*

"N-not a ph-phobia of you per se`...just a phobia of exoskeletoned poisonous creatures which can bite or sting me..." Sabel corrects stammering. "And I-I'm not skittish...well...not usually...So, Maybe I am a little out of sorts right now, but only because of circumstances. Like everyone else, I presume, I don't know who I am, I barely know what I am, and I'm scared and confused. And hungry." She adds as her stomach interrupts. She takes a deep breath to allow the bear to finish his tale. She mulls it over, doing her best to remain composed though her fur remains in its full upright and seemingly locked position.

OOC: Hey who isn't freaked out?

" AHHHHH!!! Right behind you!" the fox yelled as he caught his first good look of the scorpion... and the massive bear. The fox had leaped over the ferret into the hallway. He made off like a furry rocket down the hall.

" Don't Eat me! Don't Eat me!!!! Eat him! I mean AHHHH!! Don't eat anyone!!!! But mostly not me!!!" The fox squalled his words tumbling over one another and said all in one breath.... rather choked breath because of the pressure the collar was creating on his trachea. He had not ceased his wild dash though his clawed paws merely scrabbled on the metal floor without getting a grip. His breath was coming in short labored puffs and suddenly he went limp. Fainted from terror.

Lune blinks slightly at the stage whisper and the mannerisms that accompany it. He doesn't show any expression but he would be smirking if his new face allowed such an expression. His eyes widen slightly at his reference to the girl with a phobia of her new form. Terrible... that would be absolutely horrible. He remains silent as Thomas explains what is known by those who awoke before Lune did.

Lune's tail twitches slightly at the description of the 'alien' presence and his eyes narrow. There is no other indication of his feelings on the subject. He is so focused on his own thoughts at this new information that he doesn't pay any attention to the flight, pursuit, or capture of the two skittish ones behind him.

"Then, I believe that we sshould get all of these ssmaller furred ones there firssht." His tone is one of decisive action and he looks down at himself with a faint look of disgust. This body is powerful but that power is completely useless if I can't use it! He hisses and then pauses in silence, remembering something from a short time before.

"Of coursse!" Lune exclaims softly. "Sscorpions move on all their legss! I've been trying to walk on two!" Without another word he tilts his body and falls on all sixes beside Thomas, facing back the way that he had come from. He makes sure that his stinger stays tucked and out of the way as he walks a few rapid and stable meters of distance away from the others before stopping to wait with a faint hiss of impatience and pleasure.

Thomas chuckled at the antics of the smaller ones, a sound that came out as a deep booming wheeze that he hadn't quite gotten accustomed to yet. He was glad the scropion was having an easier time adapting to his new form now, and seemed ready and willing to help protect the others. He waited for the ferret to calm down before he spoke.

"I have a route back to Sanctuary that should hopefully be monster-free; they seem to congregate in a certain area of this place, though I don't know if there's any significance to it. Hopefully by the time we return the others will have found out more about our location." He gestured to the nearby doors, directing everyone to help him find anyone else to take with them. "Anyone who hasn't woken up by now probably isn't going to, and for some reason I think they might be better off in those capsules than with us..." When it became apparent that their group was complete, he hefted the unconscious fox gently over his shoulder and gestured in the proper direction. "Follow me, then. Keep your senses open for anything... well, I suppose this is already well beyond the ordinary," he laughed, turning to move down the hallway. "Lune, if you could take up the rear..?"
