"Thanks." Sebastian took the key and studied it a moment. Not an easy thing to copy or hack. He liked that. He could pick nearly any physical lock, but he was rather limited in his electronic abilities. He used to have a handy little gadget that could crack most low-level electronic codes...

Sebastian tried not to focus on the feeling of wet socks and shoes as he sloshed through the ankle-deep water. He liked water, but this was the most water he'd ever been around in his life. It was going to take some getting used to, that was for certain. He stopped to examine the two doors...

A small saucepan lay still rocking on the kitchen floor. Above it on the counter, another, similar pot sat on its side. It seemed they had both fallen from the partially open cupboard. A random act, nothing more according to mortal eyes. To Blue's eyes, Shadow shrugged sheepishly. "I caught...

Blue hovered over the girl's shoulder, watching her use the device with interest. It was so different from even what the last people had! Then again, they hadn't really played with their devices like this girl seemed to be trying to do. "Internet." What was internet? It seemed necessary for...

Havoc watched the female go curiously. She certainly looked like someone on edge. They were going to have to be careful not to drive her off the deep end too quickly. Otherwise, they'd be alone far too fast. They needed time to feed! Not to mention, boredom was a real problem when you were...

Blue sat crosslegged in the air behind the girl watching over her shoulder. "Ooo, a cellular phone! I remember. The last people who were here had those and a television. They were not as willing to stay in the past as some others. I wonder..." He reached out with one translucent finger and...

Mist vanished upstairs to the crawl space in the attic, hiding away from the yelling people and angry girl. He didn't like people when they were awake. They tended to be loud and flailing and, worst of all, walk right through him. He hated to feeling of being moved through! From most...

Havoc glided through the old, dusty, dark, cold house, idly tapping the corners of the picture frames still hanging on the walls. He left no fingerprints on the dusty frames, but when the pictures tilted, they left odd squares on the wallpaper behind them where the pictures had protected the...

"Uh," Sebastian said, staring at the shattered ice on the floor. That was a new one to him. Highly cool - pun totally intended - but new. How did it not melt in the fish-fellow's hands? Oh, wait, fish were colder than mammals, and this particular fellow was wearing one of those suit things...

"Thanks, Vall!" Sabastian called cheerfully, saying the name so it rhymed with "pal." "I'll be right back, I just need a few minutes." He skipped off into the bathroom and closed the door. Once he'd established that it was, indeed, a standard bathroom with all the standard facilities, he...

Sebastian bit his lip to keep from laughing as the tip of his tail wagged in amusement. "Uh, no, that is not what I mean. I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind me being more direct, but in the interest of avoiding miscommunication, I need to visit the bathroom. The washroom? The toilet? I need...

Sebastian had just started to make out some of the Bertdiphango script - he'd never done well in school and left before he had more than a basic handle on the three main languages of his home planet - right as the door opened. He jumped back like a frightened kitten, his tail fluffing in...

Sebastian gently slung his bag over his shoulder and grinned at his new traveling companion. "I feel like I just went through a screening process for a new best friend!" He glanced around the hallways with interest before stepping into the elevator. The idea of confining himself into an...

Sebastian blinked in amazement. "Really? I mean, thank you!" He returned the sharp smile with a genuine one of his own. He picked up his bag and stood. "I have everything I need right here, so I can go wherever you want me to be! I travel light. Do you know who I'll be traveling with yet?"

Sebastian flicked his ears, his tail tapping the chair leg as he thought. He felt a bit like when you packed to go on a trip: it was easy to remember to pack the unusual things like the swimming trunks, but hard to remember the daily things like the toothbrush. He went over his daily life in...

Sebastian studied the pictures for a moment. They looked so happy that it felt unreal to him. He'd long since learned that pictures were the easiest lies to create, and yet as he studied their body language and looked for the tiny tells that were virtually impossible to hide, he could find...

"Oh, gosh," Sebastian said, flopping with precision carelessness into the indicated chair. "Thrive? I never really thought about that. Surviving week to week was an improvement over day to day!" He grinned at the Bav and ran a hand through his hair. "Let's see. I've always kind of wanted...

Sebastian raised his hand as he followed the other into what looked to him like an office. "No offense meant, of course. It's a bit of a habit. I'm so used to calling pretty much every race by the street alternative. I don't even know the real name for some of them, but I'll do my best to...

Sebastian shoved one hand into his pocket while the other held his bag over his shoulder. "A doctor, huh?" he said, surprised. "I wouldn't have guessed it. My only experience with doctors is they tend to be one of two things: The good guys that are harried and worked to death and have no time...

"Right, whatever you say, Doxie!" Sebastian said cheerfully, twitching his ears comically, trying to hide the surge of anxiety in his chest. They were surrounded by water with no way out? No, these fish people had ways out, and he was a decent swimmer. Surely he could find a way out...
