As Lyra fell from her home land of Xersies with the rest of the group she was enveloped by a bright light. The dove that had chosen her, although it slowed her fall, could do little to actually cushion the impact of the fall when she hit the ground.
She hit the dirt with a hard thud that knocked the wind out of her. Her head hurt from the impact but other than that she was fine, she concluded.
She looked around and tried to stand, but stumbled. She looked down to discover that she wasn't herself. At least, not in the way she knew herself. She was taller now and her upper torso had changed too. She now had arms and her front paws were similar to hands, human hands. What had happened to her?!
Then she noticed she was in a city. There were people staring. Now she was scared. What were the humans thinking? Were they going to kill them? For all she knew they might. They were strangers here. To the humans, she and the rest of her group were unnatural. Some might even call them abominations.
She tried to stand several more times, in sheer panic and out of desperation. As she panicked she noticed only momentarily that the humans were wearing clothing and that she herself had none, only her pure white fur covered her body.

Artemia slammed against the ground, the impact rippling through her body. She shakily stood up, only to fall again as she noticed she had hands. And feet. And no clothes. She drew her legs up to her chest, her wings wrapped around her. Her friend Rocy had scales over her front and back but was still blushing. "Was this part of the tour?" Rocy said, sitting down. Artemia shook her head as someone walked past, shook their head, and threw three over-sized shirts to them. "Want one Lyra?" Artemia said as she pulled on one, feeling slightly less exposed.

Safari got up, rather unsteadily, a slight pain panging in her back from the impact. Two people who were shorter than her stood in front of her with a unamused expression. They held a ratty brown cloak out to her. She graciously slipped it on. The black haired man introduced himself as Ebony, and the light blonde haired woman as Ivory. They were brother and sister, and ran the booth. Safari absentmindedly looked around for her friends, but she didn't know what the looked like! It seemed the had fallen into a raggedy old marketplace. With wooden booths everywhere. But what encapsulated her was the lake the marketplace stood around. Was this the river that had flowed off Xersies? Is this where it landed? This was all amazing. But why did they not die? Why were they all humanoids? Where was the others? Ebony snapped his finger in her face, "Are you listening? I told you, you'll have to pay for this booth!" Safari was confused, "Pay? With what?" Ivory frowned. "If you don't have money, you and you strange fall-out-of-the-sky self can just work off the debt." Where is everyone?! She though desperately.

"Where's Safari?" Artemia asked as she dusted herself off and stood up.marketplace. They were in a large, raggedy marketplace. People were staring at her and Rocy as they walked, completely silent. "I. Can't. See. Above. These. People," Rocy growled, a large feat considering how nice she was. "There she is!" Artemia yelled as she spied Safari. She grabbed Rocy's wrist and ran through the marketplace, her wings tucked on her back, under her shirt.

"Were you even listening?!" Ebony shouted. A crowd was gathering now. Safari gulped and looked at Ebony and Ivory. "No. Yes. Why do I have to pay?" "I think she's stupid. You have to pay because you broke it!" Ivory said angrily. "I didn't mean to!" Safari cried. This was such a bad pressuring for someone so confused. Really. It was her first sight of the world, and these two midgets had to ruin everything. Safari desperately tried to sense a familiar presence, but alas. All was in vain. The Midgets were two distracting.

"Listen you Midgets!" Artemia said, coming up from behind Safari, "She isn't stupid! Whoa. You're even shorter than Rocy, and that's hard. Anyway, quit pickin' on her or I swear I will punch you." Rocy stood beside her, her arms crossed, "Now then Safari, let's find some clothes. Oh look! Cute pants!"

(Ebony and Ivory gave her a cloak? xDDD) Ebony and Ivory frowned "She still has to pay!" Ebony said fitfully. Safari frowned. What a first sight to see. Two cranky midgets and a broken clothing store. Ivory loosened a bit. "Ebony, give the girl a break." She turned to his ear and whispered quietly, "I bet Dr. Grey would pay a high price for these freaks." Ebony smiled, "Okay, whatever. Do you all have a place to stay tonight? Any more friends?" Safari looked around. Their manner had chandged, but she didn't want to get suspicious just yet. "Well, there are a few left.... I don't know where they are."
(We should prolly wait for Fae,Cory, and Rocky to post later. Not to mention Xan and Stuntman.)

Phon felt the earth rumble massively just enough to make himself fall... he felt water all over him. He wasn't worried about that he was worried about slamming into the ground! Phon suddenly felt himself getting lighter as the doves grasped onto his shoulder. then Phon hit the ground hard smashing through a small building, yet feeling no pain, just dents in his knees. When he got back up he was so much smaller. he had this black... fur? on his head, his eyes felt funny, he had black marks on him it was a mess. Phon looked around... people looked at him funny, they wore masks around thier bodies, but he didn't. Phon looked at himself. was he supposed to wear stuff too? (plus Phon doesnt have any... *ahem* parts)

Phon saw Safari and Artemia. They were talking to some smaller humans. He was about to run over until a man stoped him. "Look before you go run off like nothing happened, you need to pay quite a bit before you go." the man said "Exuse me?" Phon said, his voice was too low for his human body "Pay. Up." the man said "Huff, make me" Phon replied. The man tryed to push him around but Phon was way to heavy to push over. "ARGH. what the heck!?" The man said "YOU are a WIMP. now go pick on sombody smaller than me." Phon said and walked off He heard a voice say behind him "you need to work out...."
Phon FINALLY made it to Safari "You Ok Safari?" he said in his deep voice

"These nice people said our friends and us can stay at their place! Of course, they were quite rude- wait.... Who are you?...." Safari looked at him quizzically. Ebony and Ivory started propping up what was salvageable up on the unbroken part to try to make a makeshift booth. They had to finish their sales for today. "I accidentally landed on this wooden pile that seems to be important to them, and they got mad at me. But then they suddenly changed their composure and told me that my friends and I could stay with them!" Safari said happily.

"It's me Phon" he said in his deep voice Then he looked at the two fixing this wood pile "thats not as bad as me, i flew through a building and some guy expected me to... pay him." Phon added. "But yes, thats good. It's nice to know that we have a place to stay... Wait... Where are the others." He added again looking around. "humf... I need some of thoes mask to cover your body... were'd you get it?" Phon asked, his deep voice always bothered him, it was do deep for his body, but he didn't realy mind.

"Ebony and Ivory gave me this." Safari said, looking expectantly at them. Ivory sighed and motioned to a pile of clothes that had been strewn all over from the impact, but had been piled back up." Pick whatever the hell you want." She said reluctantly. "Anyways, Phon. You don't look any taller than I am. But Artemia and Rocy are here. But I don't know about Ryn or Hidesai or Lyra or anyone else...."

"Rude..." Phon said looking Ivory Phon found some black pants, a black T-shirt, and a button-up white long sleeve shirt. The clothes were a bit ragged and dirty but it will do. "I'm just the same size as you, i still remember being a ro-" He said then, looked at the humans. if he said robot then they would look at him like as if he were crazy. "anyways we should look for the group... they can be anywhere." He added in his deep voice

Stunty felt the earth shake and he aid to himself.."oh,God did i fart again"..but luckily he hadn't and it was the earth shattering before his very hooves and now he was going over the edge and Pete was clinging on for dear life! "Luckily i packed my handy dandy parachute in my first aid kit pete,no worries Pete!" "why would i worry?" said,Pete. "Becasue we are falling to our deaths *happy face*" said Stunty, "this is some Bullcrap" said,Pete. So Stunty fell to the ground and landed with the grace of a grape on a tigers tongue.Suddenly Stunty found himself pantless,and walking in an upright position like a human."dude i can dig this"Stunty to himself because he has split personality disorder and he does the often from time to time,because he is a very lonley man.Stunty carrierd on lookin for others and came a place called Kraitos,and there he met up with his fellow people,he then decided a trend was happening,everywhere he went they went."they are following me" Stunty thought,"well i will stalk them instead".So Stunty's plan begins,but first he has gotta find some pants...

"Woot! Free clothes!" Artemia said as she went through the piles and picked out black cargoes, a white tee-shirt, and a hat. Rocy picked out camouflage parachute pants, a black tank-top, and black boots. Artemia held up her clothes and said, "Got anywhere I can change?"
