19:28        lurkd        Welcome, to Ralph's mind.
7
19:29        lurkd        The entity:  "Hello?  This is different... you don't smell like an interloper."
8
19:29        Roget        "Uh... I'm not Interloper, I'm Ralph."
9
19:30        lurkd        "...huh... I see.  And, who are these others?"  Keep in mind, this is all inside Ralph's head.
10
19:31        Roget        Ralph tries to think of something that describes his group well
11
19:32        Roget        "They're cool. They're with me."
12
19:33        lurkd        "I see them through your eyes.  Very interesting.  Who is Eriko by the way?"  It feels crowded in your head.
13
19:34        Roget        "she's my wife.... don't look to deep in that part of my mind, if you don't, uh, mind."
14
19:34        lurkd        "Ah, apologies.  My name is Ix."
15
19:34        Roget        "Like the measurement of light?"
16
19:35        lurkd        "The what?"
17
19:35        Roget        "Nevermind. Why are you in my brain?"
18
19:35        lurkd        "Trying to determine how much of a threat you are mainly."
19
19:36        Roget        "I'm not going to shoot you if you don't fly at me like the wicked witch."
20
19:36        lurkd        "Yes, I understand your perspective on that.  You startled me as well."
21
19:37        Roget        "Are you physically in my body, or is this like a mind-meld?"
22
19:37        lurkd        "Little bit of both."
23
19:38        lurkd        "Funny, I thought only the female was going to come through."
24
19:38        lurkd        "Not a whole herd of you types."
25
19:38        Roget        "Did you grab her and take her in?"
26
19:38        Roget        "We're coming in after her."
27
19:38        lurkd        "I didn't, others did.  She's injured though.  We needed her."
28
19:39        Roget        "Why did you need her? I'm a doctor, I can help her if you take us to her."
29
19:40        lurkd        "I can take you there, sure.  You seem pretty docile thus far."
30
19:40        Roget        "Are your friends going to try and attack is if we go in?"
31
19:41        lurkd        "Not as long as I vouch for your group.  And you don't act hostile.  They don't like outsiders, but we are desperate."
32
19:42        Roget        "Why are you desperate? What does the girl do?"
33
19:43        lurkd        "The interlopers captured some of our children.  They are locked in some sort of prison... it's not to far from here.  We thought the female, since she looks like an interloper, might be able to unlock it for us."
34
19:43        Roget        "Can you hear the people outside me?"
35
19:43        lurkd        "Yes I can.  All your senses are now mine."
36
19:45        Roget        "I don't like this... this feels wrong."
37
19:46        lurkd        "I understand.  Terribly sorry for this, but I still can't be sure about your kind yet."
38
19:46        Roget        "Please... get out..."
39
19:47        lurkd        "I don't think so.  I'll leave when it's timely for me.  I can't risk it."
40
19:48        Roget        "I can't deal with this, I can deal with something being here. Just go. Why can't you go?"
41
19:49        lurkd        "Trust me, this is not pleasurable for me either.  I will leave when I feel you are not a threat to my pack."
42
19:49        lurkd        "I can lead you to your female, then you will leave."
43
19:50        Roget        "... Why do you have to be in my mind? I can't share this with somebody. I can't do this."
44
19:50        lurkd        "It's a safe vessel."
45
19:50        lurkd        "For now.
46
19:51        Roget        "You don't understand, I can't deal withsomething being in myhead. I need you to be out of it. Now. Please."
47
19:52        lurkd        "Supply me with another vessel or leave here.  I'm not leading you to my pack without a vessel."
48
19:54        lurkd        "Tell her this..."
49
19:54        Roget        Ralph tries to think of violent, visceral imagery to scare this fucking thing out of his head. Open heart surgery. Oozing pustules. Dead bodies. The mangled body of somebody who went through a thresher. All terrible, horrible things.
50
19:56        lurkd        "I can't communicate other than this method and I'm not willingly exposing myself to unknowns such as yourself.  You can stop that by the way, that's not necessary."  Ix projects thoughts of hunting and ripping up prey violently for a brief moment.  "Can we be civil please?"
51
19:57        Roget        "Can you go in Collin?"
52
19:57        lurkd        "Which one is that, point to him."
53
19:57        Roget        Ralph has pointed in redpool
54
19:58        lurkd        "Very well, touch him and tell him to clear his mind.  I'm coming in."
55
19:59        lurkd        "Sorry for the inconvenience."
56
19:59        lurkd        "Bye."

65
20:04        lurkd        "I am known as Ix.  I can lead your herd to the female now.  My pack should let us through as long as I occupy at least one of you.  Collateral leverage and all that."

72
20:10        lurkd        "I'm as fragile as you.  Plus I still haven't determined how much of a threat you all are.  I would prefer a diplomatic solutions seeing as how I'm outnumbered."

77
