These things, these creatures, were all popping out of the woodwork. Carter watched with silent horror and moderate interest as they not only spoke English, but also seemed to have picked out a certain member of their group. Everything was happening so fast that he couldn't keep track of all the conversations going on, but in his focus to keep an eye on everyone, he failed to notice the little monster that had walked right up to him, almost at face level. [color=c4df9b][b]"Hi!"[/b][/color] It chirped, a single arm raised to wave to him. [color=598527][b]"AH!"[/b][/color] Carter jumped back and fell onto his rear. [color=c4df9b][b]"Hey, hey!"[/b][/color] It put its arms in front of it to try and pacify him. [color=c4df9b][b]"You don't have to scream, I'm right in front of you."[/b][/color] It pretended to clean it's ears out, seeming to have a mild sense of humor. Carter had never seen anything like this, much less an animal that was fully capable of talking english and engaging in a conversation. [color=c4df9b][b]"Sorry that I scared you, I thought you saw me."[/b][/color]
