Creature just keeps crying.

"Uhm, anyone?" John asks somewhat uncomfortably while hinting at the creature.

Tracy mumbles a curse a drops his half finished cigarette to the sidewalk, crushing it with his heel. Hey big fella, he says in the nearest approximation to soothing his voice can manage, I'm really sorry about shooting at ya, but you were attacking my friends. I'm real sorry, so why don't you tell us why you were doin' that?

Copycat studies the creature. "Dala, can't you read minds? Maybe you can figure out what's going on, here?"

Tshern · « **Reply #64 on:** January 28, 2009, 02:41:03 PM »

"Yes, yes I could!" Dala exclaims happily as if she had just won the lottery. She tilts her head and looks at the creature trying to divine the secrets of his mind...

Creature's mind is fill with immature and childish thoughts. He is lonely, scared, confused, and sad.

Dala walks towards the creature while keeping her defenses up and uses her most calming voice "Please, tell me what is wrong. You are troubled by something, but I do not want to invade your privacy to find out what, so please, help me to help you. We can solve your troubles."

Caelic · « **Reply #67 on:** January 28, 2009, 07:37:26 PM »

Kids, kids. What do kids like? 'Cat isn't exactly what one would call a "nurturing caregiver," with her A-type career-focused personality, but she tries her best to shift mental gears. Looking around, she spots a street vendor. "Keep him calm, I'll be right back."

She bounds off. After getting the vendor to quit gawking at her fur, she returns with an ice-cream cone and a small stuffed bear...yes, HER costume has pockets, thankyouverymuch. "Maybe these will cheer him up..."

emissary666 · « **Reply #68 on:** January 28, 2009, 08:12:29 PM »

Creature takes the bear and ice cream carefully from Cat. "THANK YOU. CREATURE LOOKING FOR FRIENDS TO PLAY WITH, BUT PEOPLE RUN AWAY. THEN CREATURE SAW YOU AND TRIED TO PLAY, BUT YOU HURT CREATURE"

Caelic · « **Reply #69 on:** January 28, 2009, 09:56:53 PM »

Aww, geez. What do you say to that? "I'm sorry we hurt you. You scared us." Well, scared HER, anyway. "I mean, you're bigger than I am, and you're really loud, and I thought you were trying to hurt *me*. Uhm, I guess I probably shouldn't have hit you with a car, though."

Tshern · « **Reply #70 on:** January 29, 2009, 04:58:58 AM »

"What is your name? You seem like a nice boy, we will do our best to find an understanding environment. My companions no more of that, I am not a native, but meanwhile I could play ball with you or something. Does that sound cool to you?" Everyone can see Dala's eyes getting an enthusiastic glow as she realizes she has a chance to play, apparently that is one habit she has picked up on Earth.

BowenSilverclaw · « **Reply #71 on:** January 29, 2009, 05:58:06 AM »

"I'm sorry I hit you, creature." John says, feeling somewhat ashamed, and somewhat confused by this awkward critter.
"But you were scaring all those people, and tried to hurt this nice lady and me, so we didn't know you wanted to play..."

TheWordSlinger · « **Reply #72 on:** January 29, 2009, 12:13:48 PM »

Well, you guys seem to have this under control. Tracy turns and heads back to the headquarters, I've gotta clean my guns now. I really am sorry, Creature.

BowenSilverclaw · « **Reply #73 on:** January 29, 2009, 12:23:23 PM »

John offers the creature a hand to help him get up. Ladies, could you lead us to our appartment, please? I don't think it's a good idea for our new friend to stay out here in the open... I don't think a lot of distraction and scared people will do him any good, and if he's in a calm environment he'll hopefully remain calm.

Tshern · « **Reply #74 on:** January 29, 2009, 12:47:16 PM »

"Yes, the base! I ordered some furniture, nothing fancy, but I have some savings I can use for the project!"

emissary666 · « **Reply #75 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:54:53 PM »

Creature takes the hand reluctantly, it is clear is scared.

[spoiler=Dala]You recognize Creature's race, it is a type of alien from a system not too far from yours. He probably landed here on meteorite.[/spoiler]

Before they reach the apartment John quickly runs to his Impala to retrieve a large duffel bag which apparently contains all his stuff before rejoining the group as they enter.

[spoiler]Come on guys, let's keep this game alive

TheWordSlinger · « **Reply #77 on:** February 03, 2009, 04:03:26 PM »

Tracy nods at John's duffel after he enters. What'cha got in the bag? Tracy's sitting on the couch, his guns broken down on the coffee table in front of him.

BowenSilverclaw · « **Reply #78 on:** February 03, 2009, 04:13:54 PM »

Pretty much all my stuff. Clothes, sleeping bag, tooth brush... John replies as he drops his bag in a corner.

Any rooms left, guys?

Caelic · « **Reply #79 on:** February 03, 2009, 07:37:44 PM »

Copycat frowns, hanging back slightly as the group heads into the compound again.

Dala, she thinks, Who IS this "Creature?" I mean, he acts like a little kid. Is he? Because if he is, I'm not sure I want to be around when his parents come looking for him...
