The reflection of the sun off of it interferes with my x-ray attachment.
"Jack, is there any particular reason you have such a fixation on my 'pasty white bum'? Don't you have better things to look at?"
LJ giggles. Hey, wait, what x-ray attachment?
Everyone hears the voice of Plantjack. He sounds very calm, but slightly sad.
"It is above the earth. It is a power the likes of which none of us have ever seen before. You must be careful, for it was one of the few things--"
The voice vanishes.
Wait, that sounds like PlantJack. Where is he? And what in the multiverse was he talking about?
Now it is Meepo.
"This ain't gonna be easy. But then, you already knew that. But this'll be worse than--"
"You lot be careful. You're in terrible danger. I won't always be around to resurrect you lot, you know. Be wary. It's--"
"Can't get out!"
Now it is Meepo.
"This ain't gonna be easy. But then, you already knew that. But this'll be worse than--"
What...who? sighs. I'm not really that good at sorting out all the cryptic clues. Maybe I should be, but I'm not.
And now, it is Kobold Cleaver. His voice fades in and out.
"Can't hold on...you lot...beware...it's back...going....back..."
"LOOK OUT!!! IT IS COMING FOR US!!!"
What...who? sighs. I'm not really that good at sorting out all the cryptic clues. Maybe I should be, but I'm not.Now it is Meepo.
"This ain't gonna be easy. But then, you already knew that. But this'll be worse than--"
"If it makes you feel better, I didn't even recognize half of those voices..."
"LOOK OUT!!! IT IS COMING FOR US!!!"
"Done...all we can....won't let us...tell...too...strong...we can only...submit..."
"Not in an Oberjarl's spirit to submit, Kobold Cleaver. I can hold on....."
"Too...strong...."
The image of the Lemming disappears.
"Lost him...Jay's gone, too....he was...too strong...to risk...
"This...ain't...good...can't hold on...never had...a high will save..."

Spotting the difference in the Seductress JH stumbles a step.
*whispers to Lyn* Is she our shapechanger?
Suddenly, the spirits seem to remember that they are surrounded by the living. KC's eyes widen.
"Lynora! Jack! All of you! Beware! We cannot hold on long! He is coming to retrieve us! You must know! It is--"
Suddenly, the image of a raven appears.
"ENOUGH!!!"
All the spirits vanish.
I never did like that raven. It seems that there are several trapped spirits now. What do we do?

[Devlyn's attention snaps back to Jack]
"...What was that?"

Err...ahh...use your amulet.

Devlyn concentrates, looking at Allura. She can feel him tense up for an instant, but he does not move away from her. Not taking his eyes off of her own, he says:
"Lynora - when you scanned us after we arrived back at the Club, did you see Allura like this?"
Sirone shakes her head at all the strange comings and goings around the Oasis. "We really should get a bouncer or something," she sighs.
"Okay, so now you know my secret," Allura says. "Yes, I'm a changeling. I can't help it, I was born this way. So go ahead and walk away like everyone else does when they find out. But I swear on Lastia's name that I am not the traitor."

Devlyn still hasn't let her go, but he's not trying to restrain her either - if she wants to pull away from him, she can.
He watches her as she speaks, then says:
"Why would I do that?"
"Because, that what people do when they discover I'm a changeling," Allura says. "Even my own parents left me abandoned by the edge of the oasis when they saw what I was. I would have died many years ago if Sirone had not taken mercy on me."
"Yes, of course, that's how I saw her before," LJ says in response to Devlyn's earlier question. "She was here the entire time, so I'm quite certain she's not the shapechanger causing the trouble. And there's nothing at all wrong with being a changeling. It can be downright useful at times I would imagine." To Allura, "I'm so sorry about your family. Believe me, I know what it's like when the ones who are supposed to love you most don't care about you at all. Just know that you are among friends here."
"Because, that what people do when they discover I'm a changeling," Allura says. "Even my own parents left me abandoned by the edge of the oasis when they saw what I was. I would have died many years ago if Sirone had not taken mercy on me."
"Do you really think that Sirone would have even considered me as one of her chosen if she thought for one second I would treat her daughter like that? When I was younger, I made the mistake of judging some people by the way they looked. They fortunately opened my eyes and proved me completely wrong."
"So no - sorry love, I'm not going anywhere. I'm stubborn like that."
He smiles at her warmly and gently squeezes her shoulders.
"Yes, of course, that's how I saw her before," LJ says in response to Devlyn's earlier question. "She was here the entire time, so I'm quite certain she's not the shapechanger causing the trouble.

Believe me, I know what it's like when the ones who are supposed to love you most don't care about you at all. Just know that you are among friends here."
"That's my point, Lynora. If you had thought that she was a part of it, you would have brought it up right then and there. I trust your judgement."
To Allura I am sorry that I have caused you distress. I was a bit surprised.
To Lyn I tried to whisper, but that's not working well these days. Can you make amulets of telepathy? I seem to need one.

"Sorry Jack, I just have good ears," Devlyn says as he laughs a bit.

She smiles at him. I'll see what I can do.
I still want to know what those voices were. They sounded like they wanted to tell us something, but with everything else that's happened, I don't know if we can trust them or not.
She looks angry, and as she gets angry she starts to glow just a little. I am so tired of being manipulated by our enemies.

You'd think we were fighting undead, with all the crypt-ic messages.

She looks thoughtful at that, and this seems to calm her temper. The glow fades.
Ye-es, that's the possibility we were discussing yesterday I think. We need to know more. We need to know who we're fighting. Maybe Angel has some ideas. I mean, she did come back from the future. Maybe we should go back to the clubhouse and try to find her. And give out the rest of these amulets...

"Alright. You two go on - we'll try to track you down at the Clubhouse later."

OK. Maybe I'll find out more of this resistance I'm part of in the future.
LJ picks up the box of amulets and waves to her friends as she leaves to go to the clubhouse. She really hoped Angel was there. She could use a few answers to a seemingly never-ending list of question.
I guess we never did get to that swim, she said regretfully to JH. I'm sorry.
