He retired to a small castle in Romania, where he tinkers with robots and collects weapons and ammunition, occasionally descending to the village below to grocery shop.

(A little vain are we? :P Also what is the extent of your shapeshifting? And does your character know of these powers?)

You wake up in a tiny bedroom barely large enough to fit the bed itself. The door out is shut. Looking around you see your clothes hanging on a chair in front of an equally naked female. Her white skin contrasts the dark room and the black covers she has over her. Her brown curly hair falls over her face so you can't see it. You see her chest swell and deflate rhythmically. The world outside is unusually quiet. Your hair begins to raise on your skin and you get the feeling that something isn't quite right.

(I can imitate things, but it takes practice to perfect them. But I can draw matter from around me to become things that are larger than myself)

I reach for my clothes, and check if the door is unlocked.

(Interesting.)

You grab your clothes and stick them on. (Fill that in, I assume you have a suit of something but I don't know.)

As you grab the door handle and push it outward, it swings and comes off it's hinges. Outside where you expected a small hallway, you see the town in ruins. Fires are burning everywhere, houses have simply disappeared. As you scan the horizon you see one fall before your very eyes. The idyllic paradise that you called home has fallen into dust. Suddenly your hearing returns, you didn't notice it was gone, and you are battered by noise, screams, burning fires, gunfire, crumbling buildings. You smell it then, the smell of cooked flesh, you note that it smells of pork oddly.

I look for my castle on the mountaintop, and wake up the girl.

You can't see your castle from here, it must be behind the house. You move over to her and as you shake her her head lolls backward and you see twin bloodlines from her eyes. You can't tell how but you know she's dead.

You search the room coming across the woman's thrown clothing all around the room. As you open a wardrobe to search for god knows what you her a melodic voice behind you. "Ah your awake... And going through my... Clothing... What exactly are you doing?" You turn around to see the woman sitting up in bed and wiping her eyes, tutting at the blood she wipes away.

I smile brightly, "Oh just the usual, rummaging for guns. I collect, you know, and things are going to **** outside. You've got a little something right there...." I point at a bit of blood she missed near her tear duct.

She pulls the covers up to her face and wipes away the blood and scowls again, as if the blood has insulted her personally. "This is happening more and more frequently..." She says more to herself then anything. She freezes for a moment and looks to you, "How do you mean s***?" Worry painting her face.

"I mean everyone is at Mayor ****'s mansion," I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "I mean everyone's dead and the village is burning. We've got to get going to my castle to prepare a counterstrike to whatever this is."

"And could you stop switching between being alive and dead? It's really messing with my longterm abilities to plan."

I make my way towards the door, bringing to mind what the alien from AVP looked like, and drawing matter around me to shift into that form.

"Okay, jeez calm yourself Mr. High and mighty." She says clearly not caring for your tone.

"I don't think I've ever been dead before, so I can't keep switching when I never switched before!"

She starts to get dressed as you leave. You move out to the wasteland that was the town changing form. As you take in your surroundings she exits and looks at you. "Why are you all dressed up like that? You look like a twat." She says breezing by you, barely acknowledging the death and destruction around her. She's wearing suede black boots with skinny jeans and a baggy blue jumper. "So now what?" She asks looking at you.

(I assume you know what alien I'm talking about, but if not


I stare at her, looking down at myself, wondering why I'm not completely alien. Once I finish morphing, I slither off towards my castle.

"I don't know about what you're gonna do, but I'm going home."

(No I know, and so does she, she just thinks that makes you look like a twat :P)

"Well hold on there, don't you want to see if we can save some people?" She asks shocked.

"But we need to stick together, who knows how long this will last! The more people we have the better our chances of survival! Have you no empathy? Have you no hart? Or are you the cold B****** that everybody says you are?" She asks anger clear in her voice and expressions.
