7th dead foe [Action]

[ch_rell47]

[The Malnosso had dropped him off just on the outer edge of the village. The little red alien (With little white wings!) slowly rose from his place on the cold ground and stood unsteadily on his many short tentacles. His eyes are dilated and unfocused and he is foaming slightly at the mouth oh god, is he rabid?. If you were to poke or touch him god

[She knows she's not supposed to judge based on appearances, but she's getting just a little freaked out right now by this little red thing. But... E.T. was kinda pruney too, and he turned out totally harmless, right?

Jade approaches with her backpack in one hand and draws near.] Hey, are... you okay, little fella?

Sorry about the wait! DX

[ch_rell47]

[Ch'rell stops attempting to walk through a nearby wall and stares blearily up at the human child. He tenses as she comes closer and backs up into the wall.]

Begone human.

[He hisses in his raspy, inhuman voice.]

No, sorry for my lateness :D;

[fictionalniece]

Are you sure you don't need a hand? You don't look too hot.

[At least... she assumes his species doesn't naturally walk around looking like it's about to trip out at any second.]

-apologizes again-

[ch_rell47]

[His species don't like walking around at all. Ch'rell is special that way.]

I...I-If I wanted your help I would ask for it.

[He suddenly falls forward onto his face with a loud splat and lays there for four seconds before getting back up again.]

The ground keeps getting... in my way.

no, I'M sorry >:|

[fictionalniece]

[... Okay, that was just sad.]

Alright, buster. You can either spend the rest of your day running into walls and eating dirt, or you can get in my backpack and enjoy a nice, easy ride to wherever you wanna go in ten minutes, tops.

[She unzips the largest compartment of her backpack and takes out the one book in it before presenting it to him.] What's it gonna be?

Oh no, I INSIST that I'm the sorry one :|

[ch_rell47]

[The alien seems to be angered slightly at the sight of the backpack.]

You'll never take me Federation scum! No prison in the universe can hold me for long. Now why don't you crawl back to Mortu like a good little sescat?]

[He hisses and turns around to run off... only to run face first into the wall he was trying to go through earlier. He groans and falls backwards, foam seeps from his mouth as he glares blankly up at the sky and mutters some alien language under his breath.]

I'M SORRIER >8|

[fictionalniece]

[She cringes a bit when he hits the wall, but at least he'll be easier to deal with when he's down? She stands over him, and she is unimpressed.]

I have no idea what you just said. Scout's honor. Now are you ready to go?

I'M SORRIEST B|

[ch_rell47]

[He eventually recovers and gives the girl a death glare. With a little hope, he stands stoutly on his tentacles and faces her while baring his rather sharp teeth. So the alien wanted to kidnap him did she? Well she won't be taking him alive!

Make one move, and you're going to get an Utrom in the face.]

FUUUUU--

[fictionalniece]

[Um. Whoa. She doesn't move. But she does grin at him?]

Eheh. My, what big teeth you have?

\o/

[ch_rell47]

[And now the short alien is mocking him! As if she could have sunk any lower. He tenses up and creeps towards her... only to cough and gag before flopping back over onto his face. He mutters something about sushi before pushing himself up again.]

Whatever weakness you put upon me will not work alien.

[He hisses defiantly.]

[I will overcome it and you will pay!

[fictionalniece]

[This guy has to have at least a dozen screws loose. But hey, she's got an idea. Might be worth a shot.]

Uh... yeah! I've got you cornered, local... resident! Don't even try to resist! [She takes a step toward him.]

[ch_rell47]

[Being only ten inches tall is not an excuse to be physically weak. If anything, Ch'rell is stronger than Jade is, and he can jump pretty darn far. In an example of this, he tenses up and jumps suddenly at her with enough force to knock a grown man over.]

[fictionalniece]

[Ten inches is a lot to someone only 3 feet tall. When he jumps, she quickly steps aside and opens up her backpack nice and wide for him to fit through. How's that, red octopus guy?!]

[ch_rell47]

[He sails through the air and lands neatly inside of the backpack, though he hits it with enough force to jerk it a little in her hands. His situation slowly enters his feverish mind, and he starts snarling.

Congrats Jade, you just did what professionals and even entire armies have tried doing for several centuries.]

[fictionalniece]

[Just another day in the life of Jade Chan, ooh yeah.]

Oof! [Ch'rell's momentum carries her off her feet, but she keeps a grip on the strap of her backpack. Quickly, she rolls onto her stomach, reaches up, and zips her backpack closed with the practice of a thousand school days.]

There! Now be a good octopus guy and take a time-out, okay?

[Action--> Voice]

[ch_rell47]

[The alien hisses and lashes out with his teeth for a few seconds before mysteriously calming down.

He found Jade's journal and eagerly examines it. Interesting technology, perhaps he could put it to some use. Even in his fevered state, he knows who to call.]

Karai.
