*Hidden Nature* A Shapeshifting RP

[NickyKnack]

"I'm ready" Star said, blushing a little but turning to go tot he water. She had had to make up a suit, since she didn't even know what the Earth ones looked like beyond the few pictures she had seen on the computer at the menagerie when Ashton had been telling her the stories about mythical creatures.
~~

"It looks good, shouldn't be too much longer before we can take it in to store it." Kyra said and glanced to him "We will need to work on the baskets for that though"
~~~

"It is, and if you follow the rules, you don't get stopped by the police. They will put you in jail if you don't have a licence and try to drive." Not that the wolves wouldn't give him a licence if he passed their driving test, which included a bit of stunt driving for the advanced students.

~~~
Ember nodded and smiled at him again then got up to get the food to finish it and set it out for them to eat together."I can't wait to show you."
~~~
"They should be questioning him or bringing him here, I'm not sure which they will do" Sky said and watched him "You feel better out here?" She had to ask. She didn't like when he was too hot in there.
~~~

Aaron flushed as he shifted and looked to her. "I'm glad I can make you happy, seeing you smile is what makes me want to do things like this." 

 

Falkirk smiled softly and went as well. "You can swim, right? If not you can ride in my back. I'll swim the both of us over." He asked.
~~~
Graydon grinned and stated, "pPerhaps this time we won't be rudely intruded upon. I was just getting the hang of it, after my goof up."
~~~
Orson nodded at that in reference to what he'd seen on movies. " But I don't officially have an identity in the human realm. Can you help with that as well?" He asked politely.
~~~
Cadeon stood to help and asked,"What can I do to help?"
~~~
Jaxon nodded relieved that he did feel better. "Yes, it is passing. It hasn't been a full forty-eight hours. So it must not have been the virus. " He replied thoughtfully.
~~~
Elina leaned over and kissed him sweetly. "You're not at all a charmer, are you. You're just naturally this smooth." She teased him gently. She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulder. "Tell me a story, Aaran. I feel we are living a fairy tale." She admitted happily.

Star looked to him then at the water "I know how to swim in my natural form. I don't think I have tried in this form before" ~~~ Kyra chuckled and turned to him, holding out a hand so they could walk together. "Then let's get back to it" ~~~ "Of course, it's how most of us got our licences, at least the first time. We can set you up with everything you need." Eric explained "Those things are not as regulated as they should be so they are easy to make one." ~~~ "This is all done, we just need Kristen and Jackie, if they are awake." Ember said and smiled at him again "Thank you for helping" ~~~ "Good" Sky said and sighed happily. She didn't want him getting sick like that. She hoped they had time to make that serum, if they had some of it to test with. ~~~ Aaron hugged her and thought about that for a minute then started telling her a story he remembered from long ago

Falkirk stepped into the water and grinned, "Well no time like the present to find out. " He said with enthusiasm. ~~~ Graydon chuckled as he took Kyra's hand and walked with her happily. ~~~ Orson nodded and listened quietly. He was glad to have met up with the wolves. Kristen was limited, since Markus and the Fey king wanted them found. "We are fortunate to have met you all. We were on the run a long time, before we were told about Jackie by a large hawk." He said conversationally. ~~~ Cadeon smiled and said, " Thank you. But I enjoyed helping you. Shall we go see if they are awake? " He looked to the door subconsciously. ~~~ Jaxon looked to the sky and took a deep breath. "I don't really understand what came over me in there. I've spent my whole life underground. Why do closed spaces get to me now?" He inquired absently. ~~~ Elina listened intently to Aaran's lovely story. He was a wonderful storyteller. He hand rubbed his arm aimlessly as she focused on his voice.

Elina listened intently to Aaran's lovely story. He was a wonderful storyteller. Her hand rubbed his arm aimlessly as she focused on his voice.

Star chuckled and walked out with him, trusting him to get her if she needed him, but wanting to at least try on her own first. She walked out as far as she could then started to tread water
~~~
Kyra was happy to have him by her side and be safe at least for now. They would finish the baskets then collect the dried meat then they could look for a bolthole place to have if it became needed.
~~~
"We can get new papers for the girl too, if she wants. Humans do that quite often, changing their name and everything to hide from a bad person." Eric said after a bit of quiet. "You two would be able to start off fresh" It wasn't long before they would arrive at the house. "Large hawk? Do you mean the roc?"
~~~
Ember nodded and smiled at him "Yes, If they are we can eat together, if not, then we can save some for them" She said reasonably
~~~
"I don't think it was just the closed space, you weren't affected by my house. I think it's the group, you have a social anxiety" Sky said gently. She did too, but apparently not as bad as him.
~~~
Aaron liked her rubbing his arm like that and almost wished the story was longer so it could keep going on. He smiled at her as he finished it, watching how the light played over her skin

Falkirk smiled, "You're doing great! The principles are the same in both forms." He said happily.
~~~
"I'm going to become a master bask weaver. Well, with you help of course." Graydon admitted shyly.
~~~
Orson looked to Eric confused. "A Roc? I'm not familiar with this trem. Is that her name?" He asked curiously.
~~~
Cadeon nodded and went to see if they were awake. He looked to the couch in the library for Kristen first.
~~~
Jaxon frowned, "A social anxiety? You mean I have a fear of people, right? " He asked a bit embarrassed.
~~~
As the story came to it's conclusion, Elina smiled softly at the sentiment of tale. "Where did you learn such a whimsical tale?" She asked gently, as she looked over to him.
~~~
Markus walked into his office and walked over to Don's cell. He stood and looked at him without saying a word.

 

[StarrNico]

Star smiled a little at that, glad she was able to stay afloat in this form "Shall we try for this cave?" She asked then turned towards it. Many things scared her, but that no longer meant she had to keep from doing them
~~~
Kyra grinned and went up to the door "Now that is something I would love to see" She admitted freely and looked to him happily again. Giving him a skill like this had been fun and interesting and she wouldn't mind teaching him other skills when they came up
~~~
Eric shook his head and chuckled "If it's who I am thinking of, then her name is Rana and she looks like a giant golden eagle, or it could have been Lyra, but her natural form is a red tailed hawk. Both have been flying around a lot lately while most everyone else has gone to the sanctuary"
~~~
"Not exactly, it's more a fear of social interactions than the people." Sky tried to explain. "Most people call it shyness, but it's more than that."
~~~
Aaron frowned a little in thought about that "I don't remember, it's something I heard a long time ago." He said then shrugged and looked to her again. "I think it may have been my parents though it could as easily been something I overheard from someone else"
~~~
Don paused in his situps and looked to Markus then sighed and turned to sit on the bed again, motioning to the desk "One of your workers left a report for you"

Falkirk smiled at her bravo. "Yes, Princess. We'll have to swim to the side of the water fall and take the ledge to get behind it. " He explained further, as he swam along with her.
~~~
Graydon climbed up after her and grinned proudly. "But I still have to master it." He said good-naturedly, as he walked over to his work in progress.
He shook his head a little and added with humor, "Which isn't going to be any time soon."
~~~
(Lol! Now I don't remember which. I think it was the Lyra the hawk, right?)
" Orson thought and said, "Now I'm not sure. If I saw her again, I'd recognize her."
~~~
Jaxon let out a breath in relief. "I didn't want you to think I was weak and afraid. Shy, I can live with. " He said with a slight smile.
~~~
Elina sighed contentedly and replied gently, "I'm sentimental, so I'd like to believe it's from your loving parents. My their souls rest peacefully. That way you carry a little bit of them always with you. That story is special and a lot of love went into it."
~~~
Markus scowled at Don. "Oh? Are you my secretary now?" He inquired with a grumble. But went to see which report.

 

[StarrNico]

Star smiled and carefully turned to swim for the cave. She wasn't very fast in this form, she would have to practice, but the movements were not too hard so she was able to get over to it.
~~~
Kyra chuckled and patted his back "Give yourself time and some credit, you are doing very well for a beginner. You learn fast but your fingers need to learn the muscle memory still."
~~~
(If I remember right, they saw Lyra, but Rana helped also after they left the area. Spreading pepper scents to get their followers off their trail..,or was that another couple?)
Eric chuckled and nodded "Hang around long enough and ypu will meet just about every creature that lives on this planet." He said then pulled up to the house and stopped. "I have to get back to my post, but anyone here can gladly give you a ride back"
~~~
"See, anxiety, having another way of seeing it can help you feel better, even though nothing is really solved yet." Sky said with a smile. "I know you are not weak, I saw you fighting."
~~~
"I would like that if it was true. I want a good connection to my past." Aaron said then smiled at her again. "I will think of it as being from my parents until and unless that is ever disproven."
~~~
Don shrugged unconcerned again "A messanger, since he did ask kindly enough and I lose nothing in the task."

Don shrugged unconcerned again "A messanger, since he did ask kindly enough and I lose nothing in the task."

Falkirk climbed out of the water onto the slick ledge. He got a good footing and reached out to offer Star a hand. "It's a bit slippery from the algae that grows on the rocks. It's a good thing we have better balance then most. Even without our hooves. " He said cautiously.
~~~
Graydon nodded and sat down to get back to work. "You have a way to always help me feel good about myself. Thanks for always being so positive. " He complimented genuinely.
~~~
(No, it was Orson and Kristen. I'll have to back track to find out if he met both or just the one. )
"Well, thank you Eric. It was an enlightening ride and a pleasure to met you. Thank you for your help and time. Be safe my friend. " Orson said as he extended his hand in friendship.
~~~
"I'm sorry, but it's an ingrained fear. The moment we were deemed afraid to do something, we were destroyed. A genetic failure, is what the scientists labeled it." Jaxon explained simply.
~~~
Elina smiled at his statement, then looked off into space as Racine spoke in her mind. 'Really? But of course, brother. I'm sure I'll be able to find the way.' She answered him back mentally. To Aaran she said, "It seems the war is off. Queen Avalon had given my brother half of Anstopfia. I'm not sure how I feel about that. But for now, I'll enjoy my homeland in peace with you Aaran."
~~~
Markus shook his head at Don's words as he read through all that he was out. "Bold words for a alpha that has cost me plenty." He threw down the folder and barked, "And yet another helicopter!"

 

[StarrNico]

Starr smiled and reached for his hand to get up with. "Thank you, it is good we have such balance." She said right before her foot slipped. She did something she had only done once before, shifting only partially, enpough to give herself her wings to keep from falling and to steady herself on the rock.

~~~
Kyra chuckled again then went to take a seat at her place to work with her basket. "I just telk you the truth as I see it." She said and smiled at him.

~~~
Eric smiled and shook his hand happily "You be safe too my friend." He sais then waved and drove away.

~~~
Sky shook her head and sighed. "How can they deem it that when every living thing is afraid of something, few are afraid of only one thing also." She said and looked to him. "Having a fear is natural."

~~~
Aaron tilted his head curiosly at her, wondering what she was talking about now. "That is good, is it not? This way you will not harm the realm with a big magic battle." He said reasonably.

~~~
Don dipped his head then shrugged "Stop hurting the shifters and we will leave you and your helicopters alone. If you continue the battle, then shifters will as well."
