Chirping
Axel sighed in relief when the screen went black. "Alright Thomas, pull up the feed. I need to see it one last time." An old piece of video started playing on the screen. Blurry but it still could be made out. It was the Oilin and the assistant and some sort of fire monster. The fire monster had gotten his attention, but in the end something was more intriguing. The Oilin shifted and blah blah blah but then... There were two. The assistant was gone. Markus had had an extremely rare shifter working for him, right under his nose. Axel laughed at the thought of it then nodded to Thomas. The screen went black.Axel rolled his shoulders uncomfortably,"I've rarely failed you. Don't worry. I have experience. 1:00 pm it is." He nodded to Thomas and he quickly scratched it down on a piece of paper,"I have the footage. I'll see you then."
"Mhm." She shrugged,"I just fart powers are pretty cool. But not as cool as being an abomination." She pointed to herself cheerfully,"Beat that sucka."

(Kristen's back in the gameee)
Kristen flipped through a book of spells. She had gotten much better since she had first undergone her transformation. Plenty of studying and practice. Thankfully in this other world she couldn't hurt anyone with one of her many accidents.
"I look forward to it. Goodbye!" Markus said as he disconnected the link the call was on. He smiled softly at Pariah as she came over.
"You know the Oilin dosn't matter now, right?" She asked quietly, as she snaked her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek softly.
"He still matters to me." Markus replied as he stared across the room at Shaylee.

"Stop talking about yourself that way. Not even jokingly. It upsets me to no end. Okay? " Nashton asked tenderly.

Orson looked in on Kristen as she studied. He held the cold iced tea in front of her, jiggling the ice slightly. "Can I interest you in a break? " He asked enticingly.
~~~
"Okay Nashton..." She said, a little confused. He was always touchy when she talked about her past past. Small, incredibly small things were coming back. Just a noise or a smell. Besides that, Taylor didn't remember her early childhood, and she didn't think she ever would. She didn't ever want to. This was her now, and she didn't want a past she didn't even know she had coming to haunt her. She gently tugged at the necklace Jackie had given her; a nervous habit. She draped an arm over his shoulder,"I like my powers. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world, because without them I would've never met you. Just because they aren't really mine, doesn't mean I don't love them and myself. But if the subject makes you uncomfortable then whatever." She shrugged.

Kristen looked up at the sound of the ice and smiled. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she had her glasses on again just like back in the good ol' days at the compound. "You had me sold before you opened your mouth." She gave a twirl under her breath. Taking the cold drink from his hands, she carefully set her book aside. She took a sip and nodded,"It's great!"
