~Zodiac~

*Jasey*

My eye twitched a little as the annoying one kept petting me. I didn't like being petted.

I turned quickly and nipped at the annoying one. He must've thought that it didn't mean anything, because he kept right on petting me.

I sighed inwardly. I didn't want to talk because it hurt my vocal cords in this form, but I felt like I had to warn him. "Boy, if you keep touching me, I'm going to bite your hand off!"

He blinked at me and then laughed. "Silly thing, horses are vegetarians."

I looked to the rest of the group. "I'm going to change."

I trotted into the alley and did so quickly. As usual, the change hurt pretty bad. When I sat up, I was panting heavily. I walked back out to the group and went over to the annoying one. I punched him in the arm.

He squealed and asked, "What'd you do that for?"

I got as far into his face as I could. "I tried to make it as clear to you as I possibly could that I don't like to be petted." I hissed at him.

"Well...grr." He turned away and walked to where most of the people were. I turned to them as well and smiled at the rest of them.

"Hi, I'm Jasey, but ya'll can call me Jase if you want."

**Ach! I'm going to try to fit myself in here. Sorry if I completely mess up.

Kyle

Kyle stifled a bout of laughter. He had taken up temporary residence behind a dumpster, and was very glad he had indeed. Kyle had started the evening with the decision to spend the night out in the city. He had quickly gotten bored roaming the streets, and soon found a hidden spot by a dumpster. It was perhaps a bit smelly, but Kyle could live with the smell. The back alleys of New York always held the most interesting people. Perhaps Kyle would get to see something exciting, for once.

Well, Kyle had certainly gotten his wish. In the past ten minutes, he had seen a tiger turn into a human, a talking cat, a horse threaten to bite someone's fingers off, and more glitter than Kyle had ever seen in his life.

Kyle thought it was high time he made himself known to these extraordinarily interesting people.

"Well, well, well," said Kyle lazily, stepping out from behind the dumpster. "This is all very exciting. Who have we here?"

**Eh. It'll suit my purposes to bring Kyle in.

*sylverdawn, sorry for the late reply. *

Deus

Deus frowned, it was just a normal snake. He leaned away and blinked in disappointment.

A snake?

He blinked again and then looked back at the serpent.

A SNAKE!?!

Though it was delayed, Deus jumped back away from the bench and collided with someone who was standing behind him. In shock neither had enough time to think and both ending up eating dirt. Deus, blood pumping in his ears from the shock, was the first to stand and take in the strange situation.

The person he had fallen into was a guy a little bit older than him with short black hair falling over amazingly bright blue eyes. For a second they seemed to blaze a little brighter, but that might've been Deus's over active imagination.

Deus, completely forgetting about the snake in the bushes behind him, put a hand forward to help the stranger up.

The first word that he had said all week came out of his mouth, "Sorry."

((Agh you guys post fast. I'll try to catch up, was out and about all day))

((EDIT: So no one noticed Josh walk up? What's going on guys? I can't put him in the story if no one acknowledges he's there.))

** Okay, so Buggy, Adam did acknowledge you and you're in the larger of the groups so it seems. So just pop in whenever you feel like it.

And Jok, I would ask you to refrain from insulting other peoples characters. If you do so I dont think it would be wise to stick around. Her character is just as everyone elses and to judge thus far is just as for me to tell you that your grammar is far from sufficent. If you insult others writing, you have no business being here, am I clear? Alright now back to the storybook people **

((Okay, thanks. Sorry, I'm dreadfully confused about who's addressing whom and what everyone's doing...))

*I think I've been forgotten. I'll try to put myself in again.*

Troy-

Troy soared. High above the city, beyond the reach of human civilisation. Here he could stretch his wings and let his temper loose. Just him, the moon and the stars. He had been flying for a while, blowing off steam from yet another dead end. No doubt about it, his father's old squad was hiding something. And Troy intended to get to the bottom of it, if it was the last thing he did.

Tired at last from all the flying. Troy folded his wings and dove rapidly toward the city, to fast for anyone to see clearly. He flared his wings, and landed in an alley. Before he could shift to human form, a voice from the street called out. "Did anyone see what I just saw?"

Swearing, Troy hid as much of his blue bulk behind the dumpster as he could and started to shift. He groaned inwardly, knowing he wouldn't make it in time.

*Can it take longer for the larger animals to change forms. and can you guys find Troy please?*

Josh

Joshua took a step back from Adam, feeling more than a little uncomfortable. "Uh... yeah, I'm straight. Very, VERY straight."

Then the cat spoke. He shook his head. What on Earth...?

When the horse trotted away and came back a human, his jaw dropped. "There's more like me?" he asked wonderingly before he realized he'd said anything.

*sylverdawn, I posted back to you. Up above.*

*Sorry, i'm confused.*

Troy glowered at the other boy, before shrugging. "S'okay, I shouldn't have snuck up behind you in the first place. By the way what were you looking at?"

Deus

Deus blinked and pointed to the bushes. Troy leant over to have a look as the serpent wriggled away to hide again, "A snake?"

Deus nodded with a smile, he pointed to himelf, "I'm Deus."

He then pointed to the older boy and widened his eyes as if in question. You could just see the actual inquiry in the shine of his bright cerulean eyes, Who are you?

Adam

"Indeed there is," Adam said serenely, suddenly becoming calm and looking around at everyone seriously. "I heard rumours, rumours to which what brought me to New York, but I never expected it to be so easy to find you all. If you would all like, you can all come stay at my penthouse."

"No Adam," Caleb said sternly. "I don't want any house parties."

"It is not a house party! I am being nice to them! I am offering them a place to stay! You can't say that we don't have enough room!" Adam said, his voice slowly turning to an immature whine.

"Adam, you don't know any of these people," Caleb whispered fiercely in his ear.

"But they are like me Caleb! They poof into magical animals too!" Adam called out. "It is my house, so if I want to invite them, then I will. Well what do you all say? I have a mean coffee maker, and I am sure we all have some questions about what is going on."

"Questions that you don't have the answers to." Caleb hissed.

"There is always google!" Adam turned to the rest of them, a wild grin on his face. "I can accommodate you all for now!" He said, almost in a sing song way.

----------------------

I just thought to get this story going somewhere. The other group we can find along the way so we can have the full Zodiac.
If you guys don't like the idea, just say that you don't want to, it is simple as that.

~Incognito

So...I'm a bit lost. Can someone PM me and tell me what the heck is going on?

(Eep! I didn't know this started! I think I somewhat know what's going on...can someone let me know if my character has already been brought into the story?)

*Firearris, I'll just have you show up in the park before we go to adam's penthouse, kay? That way you'll be with the big group. Later, we'll try to get both groups to combine and get the full zodiac together, but for now this is all we can do,

and Alice, I'll try to give you and opening to talk, kay? I want to make this storybook work **

Jonah

He stared at the group around him, then his eyes flicked back towards the flamboyant one who seemed very enthusiatic. And, as he realized for himself, for good reason. There were others, just like him, and he wasnt alone.

He turned his back on them, not as a sign of refusal, but a notion in his head that this was a way to trust. To get his mind down from where it stood. He had to breath and let his guard down or he would never find the will to go. It was a sign of vulnerability. To turn you back on your enemy. They were no longer the enemy.

He stared out at the sides roads, in which he had left quite unnoticed before in his attempts at figuring out what had been going on, when his eyes laid on a dog. The large beast, stared up through roan fur, panting, but not astranged. It did not jump, nor cower, just stood watching with a fascinated look.

"Another one... this night just keeps getting weirder and weirder."

"Whats that?" Jasey asked, striding over to his side. She seemed curious enough of what had been going on, seeing as it was quite the strange night.

"We have another amoung us."

**Is that alright?"**
