(REPOST for Bright. Also, Marc? sent you a PM, if you're still watching.)<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>[Jules and nicholia]<br/><br/>"The military brought me back... but the program couldn't or didn't be bothered to change me back. Everyone that didn't want to go native had to leave Pandora completely. I didn't want to live on that death-trap, hunting for food and dodging predators every day..."<br/><br/>Nicholia sighs heavily and leans back slightly, her stomach growing looser around Jules for a moment, rubbing against him unhappily.<br/><br/>"Looks like I didn't have a choice anyway..."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>0000000000000<br/><br/>[Remmy and ****]<br/><br/>The alien giggles. "You hear my voice above your head, and in your ears. Speech is well within my capabilities..."<br/><br/>and suddenly, the calm voice comes from inside Remmy's skull, just behind his ears-<br/><br/>{Now you are hearing my voice inside your head. It should be the only sound you hear without your ears... I wanted to make sure I was protecting your mind appropriately. My little sisters voices would sound like whispers... but within your brain.}<br/><br/>Another alien, but familiar voice/feeling brushes lightly against Remmy's awareness... much lighter and quieter than before:<br/>{Concern/*fear*! Query:Prey=wellness?}<br/><br/>{Shhh! He needs quiet, and he is Mine now.} the older voice rebukes, and the light touch on Remmy's mind vanishes. The alien speaks again, this time verbally.<br/>"I apologize... they are young and this is a new experience for them. besides my voice, no other sounds trouble your mind?" she asks carefully.
