CHARACTER CHAT!!!!

Ami: "I think Brits are hot. At least when they take care of their teeth and all."
Emily: "I'm part Brit. And part French!"
Kimmi: "I wouldn't declare that too loud here, Ems. These people haven't had the greatest view of French people."
Emily: "hey! I'm just part French. I'm mostly American."

Sparrow: "Italian." I said proudly. Not like they cared. But I wanted my nationality out there too.

Ami: "I'm not really sure, but i believe i'm italian. I do all of the crazy hand signals when i talk anyway." I laughed but not too much. The headache still bothered me, but was starting to die down.

Sparrow: Well look at that. We had something completely nonesential in common. Who'd have guessed?

Cricket: He pointed to himself with a grin. "Mutt," he said.

Jess: "LOL. Me too. I'm basically all of europe in one

Cricket: He laughed. "Nice to meet you Europe. As for me, I've lost track."

Emily: I laughed. I glanced around through the trees. "Well, now what?"
Kimmi: "We go out? Get out of France? I'm really sick of the place."
Ami: "Dressed like us? No we aren't. At least not with some odd looks. Seriously, you're dressed like we're in the Caribbean, Emily looks like she's in the Artic, and Jess...though that leaf dress may look awesome it's a little too weird. And I'm carrying around an alien under my lengthy cloak..."
Jess: "Why thank you."
Kimmi: "it's not my fault if i'm so hot." I fanned myself with a hand.
Emily: I bumped into her with a serious face. "What does that make me?"
Kimmi: "Hmm...An ice cube."
Emily: My jaw dropped and then my mind thought of a perfect comeback. "HEY! It's cool to be square!"
Ami: I looked at her for a moment to make sure i hadn't imagined it before bursting out laughing with the rest of them. Emily blushed but soon joined in.

Cricket: He laughed along with them, but instantly felt out-of-place and stopped with a sigh. He ran a hand through his hair, revealing large, golden-brown eyes. "I can't say much, being 'normal'." He wondered if he should stick around or slip away like he could so easily.

Jess: I whipped tears from my eyes. "Well this certainly isn't a normal predicament. That definitely doesn't make you normal."
Ami: Mo floated our of my arms and flew over to him. He spun around him for a moment, as if studying him, before patting his head and chiming happily. He flew back to me and nestled in my arms again. I chuckled a little. "And you were just touched by an extra terrestrial. That's definitely not normal." I cradled him like a baby. "We're all special in our own ways. We all don't need superpowers to be unique."
Emily: "Amen to that, sister."
Kimmi: "Emily your not black."

Cricket: He laughed when the little alien blob flew around him. "Amen," he said, "Everyone's unique. Where I come from, I'm about as different as it gets...well, that's what everyone else thinks. A'right, I've got a funny name and a few scars to prove it, but really I'm just Cricket." He jumps a little when he lets his name slip out.

Jess: "Jess! This is Emily and Kimmi."
Ami: "I'm Ami and this is Mo."
Emily: "Good to meet you, Cricket. I think i rather like the name. Has originality and flair."
Kimmi: "Totally. It's awesome. Mine is just spelled different..."

Cricket: "Thanks, nice t' meet you too...all of you." He smiles. "Never thought I'd meet anyone like...well, you."

Kimmi: "Hang around a bit more and you might get to meet more!"
Ami: "If they aren't captured."
Emily: "Always so negative....Why can't the world be half full?"
Jess: "I like to look at it negatively so then it's a great surprise when they do show up!"

Cricket: His eyes widen a bit. "More? There's more people that can do...whoosh?" He makes flying and swirling motions with his hands. "Oi my my, if I could control air it would make life so much easier...I could hover a couple inches above ground so I wouldn't be so short!" He laughs at himself.

emily: "yup. There are a dozen of us in total."
Kimmi: "Hopefully."
Emily: A shadow passed through my eyes. "Hopefully," i confirmed.
Ami: I looked him over. he didn't seem that short to me. Perhaps a little, but i had certainly seen shorter. I looked over at Jess. Yup, about the same height.

Cricket: sees Ami look doubtful. "Aye, you might not see it now, but when I'm standing next to the other guys I'm tiny. Doesn't help if I want to be taken seriously by anybody."

(anyone here?)

Ami: "I don't know...Marco's pretty short."
Kimmi: "Yup. Maybe the same height as you."
Jess: "Perhaps shorter."

Cricket: "Nah, I'm talking 'bout my guys back 'ome. You should see Boulos. I can barely see 'is face without craning my neck."

Kimmi: "GOD, are they all on steroids or something?"
Emily: "It reminds me of Hagrid, being the half giant and shorter than all the other giants when he went and got his brother."
Jess: I did the awkward turtle movement. Me being me, i only thought about how the guy had gotten to be half giant...No one else seemed to notice though.

Cricket: "He's the tallest. A real-life giant, but he's a head height taller than most. And I get stuck being the baby of the pack." He smirked.

Ami: "Why hang with them if they beat you down?" I really didn't understand. Why hang in such a bad crowd? I was, twice, and i escaped it. I would never be used that way, and there was no way i would let them do that to any of the others either.

Cricket: His face turned a little more serious. "Everyone expects me to stay. My papa...he used to be captian of the pack. He died, I had nowhere else to go, so I ran along with the Ghosts not knowing what I was getting into." He looked down. "Thought about running away. Hopping some ship and not coming back. All the guys who tried that wound up dead. Guess they don't want nobody spilling secrets. There's no written rule, but once you're a Ghost you're a Ghost for life."

Ami: I got frustrated at him. "That's what they said about me too and look where i am now. I'm never going back. I'll never do what they ask me to. I'll never submit so someone who will throw their struggles on another's shoulders without a second thought. I'll be happy to die if that's what it comes to because at least i died under my own desires and believes and not another's that were forced upon me."
