IC:
Byte Me:
Hey
The Cursed One:
hey, friday?
Byte Me:
Yup. Sam?
The Cursed One:
yeah
The Cursed One:
sorry we got cut off the other day
The Cursed One:
we were in the middle of something interesting
Byte Me:
ha that's cool
Byte Me:
I had to go anyway, so yeah
The Cursed One:
oh okay
The Cursed One:
are you free now?
Byte Me:
sure
The Cursed One:
great
The Cursed One:
so... what can you tell me about aliens?
Byte Me:
what do you want to know?
The Cursed One:
well, i'm a beginner on the subject
The Cursed One:
in the extreme sense
The Cursed One:
so anything would help
The Cursed One:
are they dangerous?
Byte Me:
okay, so you want to know everything then
The Cursed One:
pretty much
Byte Me:
well, I don't think we're any more dangerous than mutants really
The Cursed One:
you are one?
Byte Me:
but anyway
Byte Me:
yeah
Byte Me:
hybrid
The Cursed One:
oh, sorry
Byte Me:
my mother was human
Byte Me:
she kinda freaked out when she found out my Dad was an alien
The Cursed One:
understandable...
Byte Me:
they thought I was more human than alien, so I stayed with Mum when
they split up
Byte Me:
but a few years ago I started being able to turn into a boy
The Cursed One:
right, the sex change thing
Byte Me:
yeah
Byte Me:
turned out I had alien power after all
Byte Me:
hahaha
Byte Me:
they were just latent
Byte Me:
but I digress
The Cursed One:
what kind of power do you aliens have?
Byte Me:
The aliens are sister races: Dathrian and Semrellians (sp?) Daths
being more common
Byte Me:
All aliens have atom manipulation and a specialty power
The Cursed One:
specialty?
The Cursed One:
like, unique?
Byte Me:
well, not really unique
Byte Me:
like, some people have telepthy
Byte Me:
and some people have some form of kinesis
Byte Me:
a friend of mine can manipulate temperature
The Cursed One:
unique in the sense that it isn't set what powers they have...
The Cursed One:
so it could be anything, right?
Byte Me:
it's like there's this huge pool of powers and everyone gets one
from that pool
Byte Me:
yeah, sorry, I thought you meant unique as in "only one of its kind"
heh
The Cursed One:
i wasn't sure on that part, but thanks : )
Byte Me:
np
The Cursed One:
where are you?
Byte Me:
Cleveland, at the slayer school
Byte Me:
it's kinda ironic actually
Byte Me:
I finally got used to being half alien (Dath to be exact), and then
I find out I'm a slayer hahaha
The Cursed One:
sounds like you have a busy lifestyle
Byte Me:
well, Dath/human is a species, slayer is a career
Byte Me:
for life
Byte Me:
which is kinda sucky, actually, because it would make retiring a
little difficult, heh
The Cursed One:
my guess is not many would get the chance
The Cursed One:
sorta the same in our field
Byte Me:
what exactly do you do, anyway?
The Cursed One:
ah... we sorta hunt evil? i guess you could say
The Cursed One:
hunters is the common term
The Cursed One:
you know, vampires/vengeful spirits/demons/werewolves/demi gods...
Byte Me:
oh fair enough
The Cursed One:
what's your take on the other things? like, other than vamps
specifically
Byte Me:
I mostly see vampires, although I will take down other demons if
they cross my path
The Cursed One:
how do you deal with demons?
The Cursed One:
i mean we usually exorcise them, but lately we've found other methods
Byte Me:
I have sais
Byte Me:
and I also have sai-shaped stakes
Byte Me:
I like sais
Byte Me:
I'm also a big Elektra fan which MAY have something to dowith it
Byte Me:
lol
The Cursed One:
ah
Byte Me:
hehe
Byte Me:
the sai-stakes are great for dealing with vampires
Byte Me:
and the normal sais for everything else
The Cursed One:
yeah
The Cursed One:
we don't have those, but we can't fit much more in my brother's
car : )
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
anyway, so the aliens were on a colony ship to some other planet
when they crash-landed her
Byte Me:
*here
The Cursed One:
okay
Byte Me:
that's what Roswell is really all about
Byte Me:
and they scattered everywhere to avoid notice
The Cursed One:
roswell?
The Cursed One:
you mean the fake crash in like the 50s?
Byte Me:
heh
Byte Me:
it wasn't so fake after all... hehe
The Cursed One:
so it seems
The Cursed One:
i'm surprised it's been kept so well secret all these years
Byte Me:
then a few years later some vigilantes amongst the alien population
started an organisation called YIRAAS to reconnect everyone
Byte Me:
aka the Yes, I'm Really An Alien Society
Byte Me:
heh
The Cursed One:
original
Byte Me:
someone had a sense of humour, lol
Byte Me:
anyways they're the ones who try to do their best to keep alien
crooks under control and keep the secret and stuff
Byte Me:
but a lot of the mutant population knows, and some humans
The Cursed One:
how dense is the population?
Byte Me:
so I doubt it's going to remain secret for too much longer
Byte Me:
They've been signing peace treaties with different countries lately
Byte Me:
so yeah, there's definitely a lot of country governments that now
know
Byte Me:
It won't be long
Byte Me:
I'm sure
The Cursed One:
we tend to steer clear of politics
The Cursed One:
another reason i'm sure we've been out of the loop
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
this may be a wise thing
The Cursed One:
the hunter population should probably know about it...
The Cursed One:
but i'll make my brother promise not to tell for now
The Cursed One:
some of us can be a little psycho
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
one guy, this vampire hunter we met
The Cursed One:
was somehow so convinced that i was somehow going to end the world
The Cursed One:
he hunted me for like a year
The Cursed One:
had some narrow escapes
Byte Me:
wow that's insane
The Cursed One:
especially when he got turned himself and used his new 'abilities'
toward it
Byte Me:
I see
Byte Me:
that's not good
The Cursed One:
he's out of commission now, so it's okay
Byte Me:
well, that's good
The Cursed One:
some people think so : )
Byte Me:
heh
The Cursed One:
so tell me more
Byte Me:
hmm
Byte Me:
well, we have teleportation amplifiers
The Cursed One:
?
Byte Me:
They're all over the place
Byte Me:
they're used to amplify the distance that teleporters can teleport
The Cursed One:
of course...
Byte Me:
basically you can teleport from NY to LA in just one jump instead of
having to do multiple jumps
Byte Me:
it's very convinient
The Cursed One:
sounds it
Byte Me:
let's see, what else?
The Cursed One:
so i guess they're pretty spread out, huh?
Byte Me:
yeah
Byte Me:
had to in the beginning to avoid notice
Byte Me:
and then people settled down where they were and didn't want to leave
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
fair enough
Byte Me:
oh and they have a space station
Byte Me:
how I could forget that... but then I rarely go there
The Cursed One:
you're kidding
Byte Me:
nope
Byte Me:
they only constructe dit a couple of years ago
The Cursed One:
so they're not so much an advanced race, then?
Byte Me:
well I think they lost a stack of people in the crash and lotsa data
and stuff
Byte Me:
I mean, they did have a colony ship so they must have some advanced
tech
Byte Me:
aparently there's a group on Saturn trying to construct a new ship
The Cursed One:
saturn?
The Cursed One:
and here we were thinking mars
The Cursed One:
; )
Byte Me:
well on the rings of Saturn anyway
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
oh, that's another thing
Byte Me:
Dath and Sem bodies are adaptive
Byte Me:
which is why we're able to pass for human
The Cursed One:
like a shapeshifter?
Byte Me:
I guess so, but it's not a conscious thing
The Cursed One:
oh okay
Byte Me:
not unless shapeshifting IS their speciality
The Cursed One:
so aliens can have the power to shapeshift
Byte Me:
yeah
The Cursed One:
can they change into other people?
Byte Me:
yeah
The Cursed One:
makes me wonder if the one robbing the milwaukee banks was actually
alien...
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
you said you had criminals, right?
Byte Me:
sure
Byte Me:
every society has it's criminal element
The Cursed One:
true
The Cursed One:
aforementioned vampire hunter, a good example
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
so...
The Cursed One:
sorry, i'm trying to fill my brother in at the same time
The Cursed One:
it's like adding a whole new dimension to our job almost
Byte Me:
ahh I understand
Byte Me:
It is a lot to take in
The Cursed One:
yeah
Byte Me:
I never knew aliens existed until my powers surfaced
Byte Me:
and my Mum freaked out and sent me off to the otherside of the
country to live with my Dad
Byte Me:
and then my slayer powers showed up... and I ended up on the
otherside of the world
Byte Me:
quite frankly I'm a little worried about where I'll end up if any
more powers come along
Byte Me:
haha
The Cursed One:
right, you were from australia?
Byte Me:
yeah
Byte Me:
and no, I did not ride a kangaroo to school, nor do I wrestle
crocodiles before breakfast and koalas are not bears
The Cursed One:
i wasn't...
The Cursed One:
nevermind
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
just getting in first
Byte Me:
you'd be surprised at just how many Americans believe the
stereotypes are real
The Cursed One:
oh i wouldn't
Byte Me:
heh
Byte Me:
okay so exocism... how does that work?
Byte Me:
*never done it before*
The Cursed One:
uh... you read a lot of latin
The Cursed One:
i have a lot of it memorised, but my brother still needs a book : )
Byte Me:
haha
Byte Me:
wow
The Cursed One:
it's all old ritual stuff our dad bred into us at an early age
Byte Me:
are there different rituals for different demons?
The Cursed One:
but we've... come across some weapons that can do the job a lot
quicker
The Cursed One:
ah depends
The Cursed One:
the difference is usually dependant on what you have to do it with
The Cursed One:
like you'd need a different ritual to send the bastard back to hell
compared to killing it outright
Byte Me:
I see
Byte Me:
that's insane
The Cursed One:
i have the Rituale Romanum here on the computer if you'd like me to
send it to you
The Cursed One:
maybe you could try it out sometime
Byte Me:
sure, why not?
The Cursed One:
okay, let me find it
Byte Me:
ok got it
The Cursed One:
might be hard to learn off by heart, but i've had a few years head
start : )
Byte Me:
this is true
The Cursed One:
crap, i've got to run
The Cursed One:
friend of our just found some omens outside the city
Byte Me:
okay
Byte Me:
good hunting!
The Cursed One:
but i'll catch you at some other time : )
The Cursed One:
bye
Byte Me:
cya!
