@TheUnknowable Sounds good, just do me a favor and read the first post of the IC so we're on the same page.

The Animorphs

C'mon you guys! Posty posty!

@Hjalti Well I don't see why not, but there's no reason we all shouldn't just cram in any and all morphs we can get our hands on. Just in case they turn out to be useful later. :P I should probably add an extra box in the character sheet for later editing where everyone can add a list of their morphs. Just to keep them straight.

I'll be sure to mention a panther in the San Fran Zoo though.

_{also totally getting a normal jagsy and theres nothing you can do to stop me ;) muahahahha}

The Animorphs

The ground shook from the force of the small space ship's crash into the parking lot behind the mall, but there was no noise, no sparks or fire, just a rumble through the earth. Then the ship's systems began to fail, and it uncloaked for any passerby to see, suddenly smoke was billowing into the night sky and small fires blinked into existence. The whirl of some kind of machinery roared lowly in the background.

The mall on the south west side of the city was not often visited anymore, so naturally it attracted those not in the mood for dealing with crowds. It was nearly closing time however, and anyone who didn't care that it was a school night was attending party on the north side, or hanging out on the docks on the bay. Most people would have no reason to be out so late, and those who did had no reason to be there, but fate conspired that the mall was not nearly as deserted as it should have been...

Kaden was sick. That was the only reason he was currently going on a shopping spree at the cheapest place in town, instead of killing off his brain cells at Tiana's party. He'd already bought some meds, but if that's all he'd wanted he wouldn't have come all the way out here would he? No, he'd also had a slight candy binge, buying a bag full of sugary sweets to cheer himself up, and of course a new hat; this one a black beanie with a brim. It was an odd hat, but that's why he bought it.

He was ready to start heading home, after stopping outside to get a movie from the redbox, when he nearly fell from the backlash of the crash. Between the displaced air hitting him like a wave, and the ground trembling from the impact, Kade's heart picked up speed, thinking it must have been an earthquake or a plane crash, but it there was nothing.

He glanced at the other people around the mall's back, wondering if they had felt the same thing he had, but then his thoughts stuttered to a halt when the ship's cloaking field failed. The metallic remnants of the space ship were not easily confused with anything of earth. The Andalite fighter had a thick atmosphere, more like the Andalite homeworld's one, but the thick air was rapidly escaping from cracks in the glass and gashes in the body. One particular gash was particularly door-like, and shuddered as if trying to open further. The lights around the ship were numerous, blues and reds and greens and yellows, but they were beginning to flicker out in droves. After a moment, even the low hum from within the ship sputtered out, and all that was left was a dull inner light shining from the doorway, as if beckoning him to enter.

Kaden simply gaped in astonishment.

@Nallore Accepted! Working on a post now, why dont you guys move yours chars to the tab?

The Animorphs

@Nallore No rush, just wondering how it's coming? I think we'll start in the IC tomorrow.

@Letter Bee Yep! That one is especially important! ;P

The Animorphs

Hah, a bunch of messed up kids and an upstanding businessperson are all that stands between Earth and Yeerk enslavement. This'll be fun :P

The Animorphs

@TheUnknowable Lol, you can be Kade's drug dealer. :P I have half a mind to make him rich and attending a private school, which would make it a bit more difficult for going with the knowing each other route if he isn't going to the same school.

The Animorphs

@Gisk@Hjalti Accepted! :P

We don't have to be friends if you don't want to be, but knowing each other could provide an excuse to all be in the same place when the ship crashes. I know @Letter Bee has gone for an older character, so not someone we'd be attending school with. So we don't have to know each other, could all just be in the same place by coincidence.

The Animorphs

Hm, it does. I would say not tattoos, because it's foreign matter in your body. But maybe piercing holes, even if not the piercing itself.

@Gisk

Sounds solid. Something to keep in mind when attempting impersonations. Colored hair, tattoos, piercings, implants and the like... What about eyesight though? Might need glasses for certain impersonations too.

The Animorphs

@Gisk Oh, I thought that morphing other people made you a copy of them. Also I thought I read somewhere that someone acquired an old dog, and then morphed into old dog???? That could be my faulty memory or my forays into fanfiction though...

I was considering giving some level of control to the morphing power, more than in the series anyway. Like, it's based on DNA right? Everything else that isn't written in the DNA should be fiddle-able right? Age for one, but also height and weight and muscle mass, that stuffs just as much nutrition as it is genetics right? Also hair length? Style even? But like not colors, even if you acquire from someone with pink hair it isn't natural. But if it remembers things like scars it should be able to remember piercing holes and stuff right? But then what about tattoos?

Like I said, the morphing process leaves a lot of questions.
