Gaah. You're right- I should continue... I guess I will then. ^_^
Kaigii opened her eyes. She still felt staticky all over but now she was on solid ground.
She felt tremory all over.
"I feel.. Like I might fall down at any moment," Kaigii said, trying to meet Timothy at the eye.
"Is it always like this??"
"Only the first few times," He replied.
"Okay," Kaigii nodded. "Can I meet your friends?"
But it seemed like Tim had read her mind. Already, shadows from a nearby distance loomed near.
"Hello?" Ventured Kaigii.
"Guys, it's alright. Sheesh! Don't make her feel worse than she already does."
"Is she safe?" A voice asked. "Is this one safe?"
"What!" Kaigii exclaimed. "I think I am! What do you think I am, a Rocket?"
"You can never be too careful," replied the voice.
She came out into the open. Her firey red eyes nearly swallowed Kaigii up whole. She was like a flame- a burning ember, so to speak. She towered over Kaigii.
"Now I feel really small," Kaigii whispered. "You look like... a centaur."
Jamie laughed and shook her mane. Kaigii wondered- Was it a mane? Or was it just her hair?
"I'm Jamie. I'm actually a ponyta mix. Strange thing is I've always been kind of tall. Hope I didn't frighten you," Continued Jamie. "We had someone in our group earlier who turned out to be less than we expected... of him."
"Sorry," Kaigii said. "I wish I could empathize. I've come here because the group I am in is really... a bit frightening, to tell the truth. One of them seems downright evil, and the other isn't much better."
"That's harsh," Jamie nodded. "But our guy... Well.. He was a bit violent. In a murderous way."
Kaigii's jaw dropped. "Oh..."
A strange creature bounded between the centaur's legs. It was purple. It's hair was green. It HAD to be an oddish.
"I'm Ellie!" She exclaimed. "Nice to meet you! Heh!"
"Nice to meet you too," Kaigii blushed, turning to Tim and whispering in his ear, "She's really hyper, huh?"
He Replied, "You have no idea."
Then Becca came out- Kaigii recognized her on the spot. Her black, scruffy hair had blonde highlights like lightning bolts. She glowed with electricity, and Kaigii laughed to herself that it wasn't just a figure of speech.
Becca was a bit sullen, though.
"She's having a bad day," Jamie explained.
"Aren't they all bad days?" Kaigii wondered.
Ellie smiled. "Some are worse than others!"
"Well, I can't really be a ball of fluff about this," Tim said. "But you really have to make do."
"Yeah," agreed Kaigii. "We have to have something to live for. To hope for."
"Hi." Said a voice. Kaigii turned around- a grotesque lizard like monsterish human was in front of her. He wasn't very human though... He looked exactly as a Larvitar except the humanish features hinting in his face.
"Do you have any beer?" He asked.
"WHAT?" Exclaimed Kaigii. "Did you say, beer?"
"I miss beer," Cliffe told her.
"I wouldn't know..." Kaigii began to shy away.
"The force is strong with you!" Shouted Cliffe. "Use the force!"
Tim turned to Kaigii. "Um..." he murmured. "I think he found some weed again."
"Weed!?" Kaigii said, in shock. "Is he stoned?"
"Not likely," Tim laughed. "This is how he is.. normally.."
"That's a frightening thought," Kaigii stared at Cliffe.
"I am still a young pada-wan of the force. Some day I may be a jedi."
"Dream on," Kaigii shook her head and turned to Tim again. "What is he TALKING about?"
"Oh... some strange jed-eye thing. I'm not sure what it is. I think it's one more sign of his skitzophrenia."
"No... It sounds like a show on... television." Kaigii's eyes widened. "...television.."
"Kaigii? Something wrong?" Tim asked.
"We... We had a television. We'd watch the news every night after dinner... and the man on the screen would tell us about the weather and the glorious empire... and we had a radio too. And father would say, "those crackhead imperialists. think they, rockets, will ever be control over us." and we weren't supposed to listen to the radio but we did..."
Tim looked at Kaigii, thoughtfully. Her face was vacant and pale. Her eyes were distant- staring out to something he could not see. Her arms were moving in front of her and adding to the story she was telling.
"And.. one day the man showed up at the door... he told Father that he would be moving to a new job... and we had 30 minutes to leave before they bombed the entire town... I took my teddy bear... and... I tried to take the television but it was too heavy, and it fell... and broke... the man on the screen disappeared and there was broken everywhere..." Tears began to form in her eyes. "Father said... to run and then the man started chasing me... and father too."
"You skipped a part," Tim interrupted.
All of the sudden, Kaigii blinked and turned to Tim.
"What?"
Tim felt horrible, he hadn't meant to interrupt her. I might as well answer, he decided.
"About the television. Why were you running?"
Kaigii only continued to blink.
"I'm afraid you're having delusions," Smiled Kaigii. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"But you just- you were talking- like a vision or something!"
Kaigii laughed.
"A vision? Honestly, Tim. You have such a strange sense of humor."
Kaigii opened her eyes. She still felt staticky all over but now she was on solid ground.
She felt tremory all over.
"I feel.. Like I might fall down at any moment," Kaigii said, trying to meet Timothy at the eye.
