Ennai quietly took a seat on the bed of the small, sparse room, being careful not to disturb anything. She realized that Kristine was not the type to invite people into her space much, and she didn't want to upset whatever it was that had made her decide to trust her with this.

"Kristine?" Ennai asked gently looking at the glowing blue gold bracelet. She looked up, searching her face, "Your friends, how..." she chose her words carefully, "How did you meet?

"Well we met by accident on my travels, I fell on them." She replied. "Well they were desperate for a host, and thought I would make a compatible one."

With that the tapped the bracelet and it morphed into a butterfly shape.

"They sent me to another world, to sync with me, and I have been with them ever sense." Kristine spoke plainly. "I came to this world seeking someone, but hit a time vortex, I was sent to the wrong year." "In order to preserve the timeline here, I took someones place, looseing my memory and sending them into a deep sleep."

The butterfly proceeds to fly off and land near Ennai, fanning its wings at her.

A compatible what?


With that the tapped the bracelet and it morphed into a butterfly shape.
Ennai watched the crystals not realizing she wasn't breathing as it began to delicately flitter in the chilly room.

"They sent me to another world, to sync with me, and I have been with them ever sense." Kristine spoke plainly. "I came to this world seeking someone, but hit a time vortex, I was sent to the wrong year." "In order to preserve the timeline here, I took someones place, looseing my memory and sending them into a deep sleep."
WHAT.

The butterfly came and landed on the bed post next to Ennai, and as lightheaded as she was feeling she was surprised the wings' fanning didn't blow her over.

The silence seemed to stretch on forever as the butterfly and Ennai looked at each other and Kristine sat expectantly.

"okay," she said, finally.

"Kristine, this is not a question I would normally ask, but...where are you from???"

"Well I am their host, I thought they had died in the lab" She sighed. "You can pet them, they are a little warm but not hot to the touch."

Now she was getting very nervous around this person, and the sudden yell made made her jump.

"As to where I am from well, originally an alternative earth, I fell into another world, and found out the earth was destroyed." Kristine Mused. "So the world I fell into became my new home, I can travel between worlds, well I could at one point.

Ennai tied her hair up absentmindedly and extended her finger for the glowing butterfly to climb onto. Aliens. The butterfly flew off her finger and landed on her shoulder its glow gently lighting her brown leather jacket. She looked back at the girl across from her. She needed time to process. Aliens mean alien tech, alien psychology. Kristine couldn't be the only one. Ennai pulled on the reins. She pulled herself back to who she saw in front of her. What she had picked up on Kristine in the first place and softened. She just wanted to make friends.

Her communicator went off again. It took her a second to notice. Dr. Nootix had found something else. He wanted her to come to his office tonight. Damn.

"An alternative earth? What does that mean? Another planet?" Did she lose the tech that let her travel so far? Ennai felt a pang at thinking of losing that kind of capability for all of mankind. She mentally chided herself for asking too many questions to quickly. The last thing Ennai wanted was to put pressure on Kristine. Ennai had thought she had a solid preliminary profile going, but this was...this made things difficult to gauge. "Does this have a name?" she asked, ignoring her own advice.

"Oh my home world is called ever dream, I long to return there, it is connected to every world I have visited. The crystals provide me the energy to open doors between worlds. " She replied.

Looking at the person before them, she noted that they seemed a little enchanted, and questioning.

"I can assure you my friends can only work for me, they are synced with me." Kristine replied. "They are a part of me and would die without me." "They cant harm or help you, I was afraid I had lost them for good, they were asleep for so long."

Ennai paused. Everdream sounded like the name of a place from one of the scifi and fantasy novels she read as little kid. She was suggesting symbiosis, and perhaps shared sentience. And there was no device or technology. Just Kristine. Opening doors. She looked a little harder at Kristine, and then looked back at the butterfly. "So does it have a name?" she asked, a small smile touching her lips as the creature started to show off some of its personality through its flight pattern.

"I think they were once called, the givers of life, they have many a name." Kristine mused. "They are my constant companions, and fled their home world." "I found them by accident, and we have been together sense then."

Getting tired Kristine yawned, and then took half of the remaining cake and boxed it for Ennai. The butterfly duplicated itself, leaving a shell behind for her that was blue and green.

"I'm really glad you shared this with me. That was a friend of mine messaging me. I have to go see him. We should hangout again though. Next time I'll bring the food," Ennai said wishing Kristine goodnight as she took the box of cake one hand and shoved her communicator in her jacket pocket with the other.

"I hope to see you again soon, you seem a wonderful person." Kristine Yawned putting the rest of the cake in the fridge. She then watched the other person leave, and then decided to sleep for the night.

The end.

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
