And I'm the host.

Gather 'round the campfire, because I have to say something, that might make people think I'm really spacy, but here it goes.


Anyone here believe in Aliens?

The reason why I ask, is somewhere over the rockies, I spotted a strange light. I was flying about oh, 75% of mach when I did. But the light moved faster than the plane I was flying, and I picked up NO NODE!. Whassupwitdat?

You guys have anything weird you'd like to share? It's open lines, and yes, Endeavor Point is West of the rockies.

I saw a boy with nothing on but a diaper, a T2M
T-shirt, and antenna sticking out of his head crawling around the other day. Does that count?

I asked mommy about it and she said it was my little brother, but she may have been taken over by pod people or something. He likes XWF though so I guess he might be okay.

But I definately believe in aliens. The grey ones with big head not the ones with acid blood that wanna burst out of your chest. Um, K bye.

Paranormal experiences?

Well, I encountered a forgotten goddess just before my eruption into her spitting image.

I think.

Does that count?

Endeavor, you are really spacy.

Fearless, you are even spacier.

Vixen, you're a foxy lady.

Aha - but, you are NOT the first one to call me that, so you do not die.

Who was the first person? Uh... that's a secret.

*digdigdig*

Miss Vixen I don't mean to get too personal but I got ask this.

What's it like having a tail?

Technically, I have two. The spine does this weird thing just above my tailbone, it's really something.

It's... well, to be honest it sometimes is a pain. Everything I buy that I'm going to be wearing while 'on' has to have a pretty precise cut in the back. I can't really sit on anything that doesn't have an open back for them to slip through. However, it is a really interesting sensation to have a totally new pair of appendages, even if they can't carry anything. Having this huge, radical difference between dormancy and novahood has given me a finer appreciation of just how my body - either one - works.

I'm currently saving up a little money for either some of Endeav's hinopolymer or Buendia's eufiber - something I can reshape around them. Because normal clothes were not meant for a body like mine. If it wasn't for the fact that I need pockets for all my little techno-gizmos from the local Future Shop, I could easily do without clothing - though I'd probably be targetted for Corrupting Young Minds. :p

Thanks. Didn't mean to pry but I was sort of curious about it.

And the local expert on things womanly says to try a low cut bikini brief and a wrap around skirt.

I don't take ownership of that suggestion by the way. Just passing it along.

Tell me about it. :p

Personally, I've found that Hinopolymer is less useful because it doesn't regenerate and isn't as tough. On the other hand it is easier on the wallet, easier to get a hold of, and doesn't have its own agenda.

Well, I'm in favor of that.

Smith you woudl be in favor for all the women around here to not wear anything....

Well, duh!

What the hell you expect chickieboo?

Well, Rocker boy..I have beat for you. I am going ot be at the amp room friday, and I think we can play a fun ggame, tag. hell I am in joyful mood, I chalange anyone to this.If anyone is up to it, please drop a line.

If anyone can tag me, you/they can ask of one thing form me. This thing should be with reason.

If they can't tag me in one hour,I get to ask the somethign from you/them.

I don't think Andy would like me to play those kinds of games indoors.

Define within reason.

Well, most likely something you could do in the club..See I have a rule.Once in a place like the AMp room, all everything else from the outside world is all in the past.THat's right I don't care if you are a teragen, or an ABerrant,meber of Utopia.Why, because as long as you act like a good person in there.It is just away of saying that in there I am going to have a good time,and not work.

So just about anything you can do in a club.

"SEE THE GIRLS OF TEAM TOMORROW GONE WILD!"

Does anyone know if there is anything you can't do in the Amp Room?

Playing "tag" with a certain lumbering green machine comes to mind.

Smith, you couldn't tag me, if I was tied toa tree.So, no worry about that coming from you.

And I am nto a member of Team Tomorrow.I am a member of Teen Tomorrow..Why I can get away with some of the stuff I do. -.^

Honestly, Cody, it's not everything I thought it would be... but it was pretty nice. I saw Sandy Davis and Jager doing... uh, something, via eufiber, and I got to demonstrate this psychic illusion whosis thing I've got going, and I had my first drink of alcohol.

I'm not the nightclub type, I guess. *shrugs* I prefer camping, when I want to get away from it all.

You and me both. I like people well enough but crowds make me squirm. Give me the moon over the mountain sky while sleeping in the timber line and I'm just fine.

I love the Rockies.

To formulate a theory that sticks I would off course require a bit more detailed information about the incident, but from what you're telling me this could simply be an aurora. An aurora is is visible when certain athmospheric conditions coincides with the appropriate solar flare. The specific technical details would be too complex for most to understand, but I assure you you have nothing to be worried about.

Cody, Vixen? Have either of you had the opportunity to do something I call "Going Primal"?

Just take yourself out to some fairly uninhabited area. Siberia, the Canadian Tundra or Rockies, Pategonia, and even the upper Amazon works real well. Just you and as little clothing as you are comfortable with. Nothing else.
If you want something, make it.
Hungry? Well, put those hypersenses and powers to use and get yourself something to eat.
Need shelter? Build it or find it.

If you want to dominate nature, go to a hunting preserve and teach all those imprisoned animals whose boss.
If you want to get back to nature and feel that deeper pulse, go primal for a season or two. Even a few weeks is invigorating.

If you are one of those FREAKS who can stand in the heart of the sun, eats quantum, and never sleeps, this probably isn't for you.

Oh, yeah! If you see any aliens while you are out there, warn them that Ms. Hino is looking for them.

I'm giving it a try. Tried just camping but found it was too easy to cheat so I started climbing. There's something about being out here and pushing yourself that just makes all the little things fall away.

It's a beautiful night. Feels good to be alive.

Yea, climbing!Sounds hard, to "cheat" but reallly is it?I mean I think I could climb up a clif bringing up a SUV..Or I could just get up just about anyhting in less time than well, it takes most people to drink their coffe...

But Cody if you need to go outside the world of man to get in touch with with your, go for it, man..

Me I will stay in the city if I can, live up the life,and live it right.Then again I was raised up on the strip.So too each their own.

Anyways, hate to break the news, but the tag is going to be delayed a day. I have to do some work with the U.S of *^&$%@(*! A.

I know I should have left for spain two days ago.

Andy's problem wouldn't be with if I hit. His problem would be with if I miss.

You dodge, the wall behind you doesn't. :p

Ah yes. Strip the civilization from yourself and return to your roots. Act without thinking. Be one with nature.

I've tried it (although not in an unpopulated area) and it just leads to problems.

Well, your Clutz, misster Troll,and I am just too lucky to be hit by a clutz.

Now saying your nto cute, or strong.But you are strong like ox, graceful like rock.

And I am just too damned good, to be hurt by a rock.

There are times, Jager, when I wake up with an all-but-undenyable urge to do just that. To just vanish into the forest, and go all the way in, to the beating heart of the ecosystem that sends out tiny pulsewaves, far away from celphones and PDAs and wireless OpNet and the nuances of Star Trek.

It's a weird urge. I can't explain it. There's a thought rattling around in my head that maybe the changes I went through at eruption... the 'taint' as it were... are going deeper than just having fur and a pair of tails.

Sometimes Miss Celeste you just need to go far from the things of man to get a perspective on it all.

It was a little cold out here at first but I've gotten over it. This has given me a chance to put what I can do to some practical use. Pie in the sky theory on the universe was never my strong point. But give me a job that needs to be done and I'm all over it.

Doc Troll, try doing it without going Green, or getting your Green self out without it being acombat, do-or-die situation. See how that part reacts to the situation.

Cody, this isn't for everyone, but I think you get the feel for it.

Vixen, since we are a part of nature, you should go with it. See what happens.

Agnelli, so you don't even want to try it, eh? Okay, its not something that should be forced on anyone. Besides, being able to 'port away from your difficulties must alter your perspective on alot of things. Have fun at the club.

Look, I live in a world where I can go anywhere iw ant in a matter of a few hours.I can be anywhere int he world, just about when ever I watn to. So the idea of roughly it is a bit odd, as it is just as easy for me to go to the 7-11 by the golden gate from L.A. as it for most peopel to walk down the street and go to their local 7-11.

I mean realy what is the point of lying and saying I will go someplace in the world wher I am not in contact with anyone else.There is no place like that on earth.

To this we must hold true, that in life you can lie to anyone.You can lie to even yourself, but when you lie to yourself you make everything else pointless.So Above all else be to true to your ownself.

zZZzz
Is this thing on?...
Looks like it...
Ach... Bloody wrench... zzZzz

Sorry for the VERY long absence.

Perhaps my goal with this thread is to discuss things that aren't explainable with our gifts and science.

Things that may be left to random providence or just pure chance. Figments of overimaginative minds.

Why do I want to hear such stories? Let's just say I'm just as interested by that weird noise in the night as anyone else who puts fear aside to gain understanding of a wider world. And the more eyes we keep to the shadows and unexplored corners of our reality, the more of the unknown we will discover.

Carpe Tempus.

How did she manifest? Perhaps I can drop a line to a shrine priest in Tokyo who I know specializes in ancient Shinto Kami.

Going primal? Does being adrift in the Pacific count? Or do I have to earn my girl scout badges first before I can run with the wild novas? ~.^

As for E.T. I doubt he understands C+++ or Virtual Write Up OpNet Standard Code (VWUONSC).

Hey, I can cut you some way wiz deals. Not to mention, as I've said before, hook you up with some really nice designs.nYou know the Lat/Lon, it's easy to track this transmission, if you wanna port over sometime, go ahead. We can discuss what you need, and design your wardrobe accordingly.

Sorry for the mutiple posts, I needed to catch up with the pace here. -.- Gomen.

Seemed like the right place to start, I do believe in aliens, just not in them being very close. Must be something out there, theres enough space for it.

That going primal thing sounds wierdly enticing, though i cant say why id want to take away the easy life. Has it ever done much for you Jager, did you learn much of the experience? Im sure it taught you something, although it isnt going to be that wish washy pop psychology thing about finding where the heart is is it. Ah well, iv got a load to learn anyway so might as well start somewhere.

Manifestation... let's see...

It's hazy, Sakurako - I was suffering from smoke inhalation at the time, and the fire and the heat was throwing things off.

But basically, remember that animal I was telling you about? The fox with the twin tails? Well, 'Kit' as I liked to call her was in high demand. Some biotech companies that are... a little less that perfectly ethical... wanted to take her off my hands. I won't name names 'cause I'm in no mood for a libel suit - let's just call them The Company for now.

I thik The Company set my lab on fire, tried to kill me, tried to steal Kit and my research notes and tried to pin it on animal rights activists like Greenwar. They almost suceeded, but they failed, somehow.

I remember that night, when Kit walked through the fiberglass housing I had her in - just strolled right through, the only noticable effect being this ripple of prismatic energy across Kit and the cage, kind of like how my othermist manifests. She walked up to me, and I think we talked... I can't remember what form she stuck to. Sometimes I remember just a normal fox with two tails, other times I remember an Oriental woman talking to me, and sometimes I remember talking to what could have been my spitting image.

It ended with her biting me after some weird kind of agreement... something about how I couldn't have my old life back, but I could have a new one. And then I think I erupted.

The study I've done thus far confirms, from folklore: that kitsune had three forms, and tended towards femininity; that they were tricksters who would give you things with one hand and take them away with the o
