<blockquote><div><cite>Kahmori wrote:</cite>"Brady, huh? Nice to meet you. I'm Kahmori. Kahmori Ittsoro."</div></blockquote><br/>Brady accepts Kahmori's offered hand, marveling at the size of the kistune in comparison to her own petite frame. His callused paw scoops up both of her hands, like a man lifting a newborn kitten, surrounding her in the heat of his firm grip. She only half-registers the words of Kahmori's introduction; her thoughts are elsewhere, wondering what else about the kitsune is big and hot and firm...<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Xali wrote:</cite>"...I simply<span style="font-style: italic"> know</span> we shall be the best of friends."</div></blockquote><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Ahem...

OH!~</span>Brady snaps out of her daydream just in time to hear the latter half of Xali's introduction. "A pleasure, I'm sure," she says, reaching for the leopardess's hand only to find herself still wrapped up in Kahmori's handshake. "I'll, ah, be with you in a moment..."<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Brady uses her Everchanging Psicrystal ability. Crew's personality is now Nimble/Friendly.</div></div></div><br/>"Nonsense! We mustn't delay an introduction," a voice declares from Brady's chest. The crystalline sliver in her pocket pulses with light as it speaks, swirling from red to royal blue. A thin gray-white strand of some unidentifiable material stretches from its tip, resolving into a spidery leg as it alights on Brady's shoulder and begins tugging itself free from the confines of her pocket. More limbs appear in similar fashion as the stone extracts itself, until at last it stands perched on the small girl's shoulder, balanced on eight spindly legs like oversized daddy-longlegs.<br/><br/>"A pleasure indeed to meet you, Madame," The crystal says, proffering a limb to Xali. "You may call me Crew."<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Kahmori wrote:</cite> "So, you've seen these things first hand, huh? Ghouls and the like? Sounds...well... actually kinda nasty, when you think about it. Ooozy, fleshy, nasty corpses rising from the dead, dancing about in the tattered remains of their clothing. Eeesch...."</div></blockquote><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Xali wrote:</cite>"It must have been dreadful to have to deal with such a grim spectacle by yourself. You have my sympathy."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Ugh... tell me about it," Brady says. "The one that jumped me had already rotted his pants off!" The little lizardgirl turns a shade greener, if such a thing is possible, and makes an exaggerated grimace. "I mean, yeah, they're not exactly pleasant to begin with, but that was just plain<span style="font-style: italic">nasty</span>! He was kind of a pushover, though... I just kept stomping on him until he was in too many bits to heal himself." Brady almost visibly swells with pride as she describes her victory over the ghoul.<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Alexei wrote:</cite>“I was wondering who the scout that was unfortunate enough to encounter that ghoul was. Anyone who can get through something like that must have a good degree of skill driving their hand. I go by Alexei Nocturne. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Brady.”</div></blockquote><br/>"Aw, it's nothing," Brady says, in a tone suggesting that she thinks  quite the opposite. "From what I've heard, you guys are pretty good yourselves. I can't wait to see you in action!"<br/><br/>"Indeed," Crew adds. "It will be a privilege to witness your skill at arms."<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Helix wrote:</cite>"Tonight you are free to rest, I’ve already made arrangements for you to stay at The Shattered Talisman inside of town.

She has crafted a few items to help aid in your tasks."</div></blockquote><br/>"Yessir!" Brady offers Helix a quick salute, allowing Crew to do the same before she tucks the psicrystal back into her vest pocket and turns to her three new teammates. "I'll be right there, okay? Just let me change into something a little more comfortable." Brady tosses her head back, and...<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Brady uses her Minor Change Shape racial ability.</div></div></div><br/>What happens next is difficult to describe.<br/><br/>With each shake of her head, Brady's mop of purple hair diminishes visibly, seemingly retracting back into her scalp. The color retreats well ahead of the hairs themselves, leaving the lizardgirl with a head full of white-tipped hair, then a highlighted trim, and finally a snow-white pixie cut... before the entire process begins in reverse. Brady's short locks flood with deep crimson and begin flowing outward, replacing her shaggy curls with a mane of shining, silky smooth hair that cascades to her waist and beyond.<br/><br/>An onlooker less enthralled by the transformation occurring above, might notice that Brady's hair isn't the only thing growing... her entire body is rising up, filling out, drawing on the mass stored in her oversized tail to provide the necessary materials. In seconds, the little chameleon has sprouted at least a half-foot in height, and her outline has gone from beanpole to hourglass. Her new appearance is still no match for Xali's head-turning beauty, but no one would mistake this body for a child!<br/><br/>"Ah, that's much better..." Brady stretches, testing to make sure everything is in its proper place before scooping up the armory key and heading for the door.
