TALBOT. You are not an aligator.

[Koishi]

Klement was feeding small fish that he had caught that day to his pet Leat, Talbot. It was a blue-green shimmery creature that made Klement think of a peacocks feathers. He gave a grin as he pulled his aqua colored hair back in to a pony tail. It was a nice day, there were clouds, and it wasn't too too sunny also he could smell the rain in the air. That wonderful smell that would come before it start to poor.

He scratched his not so much belly underneath the white tank and then looked down at his blue and red board shorts. "I coullda be Supahman, no?" he asked the leat who's belly was full of small fish. It have him a content clicking sound. "Yeah, you donna even kaah, Nope, Burdo, donna even kaah" he gave a grin and then scratched the small creatures belly.

"Silly Gattah" he shook his head and picked up the small leat.

[Creda Shields]

"What is that...thing?" came the haughty voice of one Creda Shields. The white eyed girl watched the ongoing scene with a slight look of distaste. Or that might have been her regular expression, no one knew.

"Clearly Fate was not kind to that thing you call a pet." she scoffed. Wings still sealed inside their tattoos, she had no qualms in flaunting her divine right of power right now. Perhaps if the male in front of her became violent, but her own skills should help her should that arise.

"What are you doing here in the first place?"

[Koishi]

Klement looked up and gave a wide grin to the new person, for some reason people on this island had a way of sneaking up on others. Klement was entrapped and fascinated by her white eyes for a moment...they were cold, lifeless, beyond human. Then agian wasn't everyone here beyond human, they were powers correct? His ruby colored eyes wandered off to the clicking creature.

He picked up the small creature and held Talbot up to show her. "Naw miss, he aint miss-four-tu-nate, i tink fate be smilein' down on him, he gotta bellies full of de fish and he justa tiny Ichthyostega, wif armaor." he said with a strange thick cajun accent.

His nose wrinkled at her demanding question, it was like she owned the island and he looked back at her "Weel..i dunnano, playin' i guss, weer you supposta be hear furst?" he shrugged looking up at her as he played with the small Talbot.

[Creda Shields]

"...your accent... How do you function in society?" Creda asked, disbelieving tone in her voice before she shook her head slightly, raven locks flowing.

Easy. It might just be him trying to get under your skin.

"No, I wasn't supposed to be anywhere. It was just a general enquiry of curiosity. Seeing a random male on the floor playing with what looks like the sad result of a reptile mating with a fish, one tends to wonder whether or not a straight jacket and the men with white coats are required."

She shook her head slowly.

"Regardless, I apologise for the intrusion. I was merely looking for a place to train my powers and abilities."

[Koishi]

Klement laughed at her comment, her remarks sounded like his older sister, clearly this girl thought she was better than the average person. And it was possible that she might be. "Cuz im smaartah dan i sound" he said at her comment about functioning. He let out a laugh that seemed slightly out of place as he thought of being 'smaartah dan de avrage bear....or cajun..'

He looked up at her slightly confused on why playing with a pet would require straight jackets. "Weel, maibeh for you eet will, cuz den you'd be de one haaloosanating. Aint' nobody gonna beeleve you saw'd a guy playin' wif a reptilie fish" He stood up and stretched his back from side to side letting out loud popping sounds. "oh, Ma Cherie, i aint stoppen' you, you can bee free to roam" he nodded to her and then gave an extravagant bow.

"Oh and Me cherie, dis is a Leat, and hiz name be Talbot" he gave a nod, he would offer her to pet the scaly Leat but concluded that the girl would just end up being repulsed by the poor little gaiter thing.

[Creda Shields]

"I would prefer if you called me Creda rather than Ma Cherie, personally." The angel fired back, despite her power being sealed for the moment. "And..."

She stopped as the... Leat, was it? was held in front of her. Her white eyes blinked a few times, just looking at the adorable reptile. She frowned slightly.

Not worthy of my time.

Looking past the beast, she kept the frown up whilst staring a hole through Klement.

"You named it?" she asked haughtily. "Heavens, you feel some sort of attachment? No wonder, you appear to share a language."

Muttering a small prayer for mental strength, Creda tried to move past the clearing and head elsewhere.

The water of the pool rippled slightly.

[Koishi]

Klement rubbed the little creatures head. "Weeel id radah share a lanuage of a creature more unda standin' dan you miss Creda." she said looking back over his shouldure at her. "cuz he suur gonna be a hella lotta happah dan you miss" he said with a nod and walked towards the pool setting down the little thing.

The small leat ran in to the water and swam about the surface of it, its body looking like a small log "so miss if youur not stayin' and if your finished insulting natures work den i beed you adieu" he bowed before her and then Kelment turned in to the same creature, only slightly bigger, more of the size of a Labrador rather than a Yorkie.

[Creda Shields]

"Happy? We weren't put on the Earth to be happy." Creda replied coldly, about to turn her back on this pest once and for all until she saw the water ripple.

Wait...it's not him. Or his creature. What in God's name could it...?

He thoughts were interrupted as she saw him shift right in front of her. Immediately her tone changed and she smiled.

"Oh... so that's your gift." she stated the obvious with a smirk. "Now that IS interesting. Does it have rules? Limits? Fate's blessed you with a powerful ability..."

The rippling got more intense, as if whatever was making them was nearing the two.

[Koishi]

Suddenly a massive snapping turtle launched its self from the water, moss growing and other organisms grew over its shell like an added armor. Fresh water clams clamped them selves closed as it pulled its self from the water and its fatty tail thrashed.

In a split second the second Leat that was Klement shifted in to a second giant turtle and thrashed back. A loud clack that sounded like thunder came from the impact of the two monsters as Klement pushed the predator away from his Leat Talbot. After fifteen minuets of the monsters crashing and splashing and bearing their beaks and tails the other backed down from Klement and sunk back down in to the water.

Klement slammed his tail in to the water and the turned and picked up the small Leat as gently as he could in the massive turtle beak of his. As Klement meandered up back on to the shore line he shifted back. Holding the Small Leat close to him, unfortunately when he first shifted he had lost his clothes and couldn't find them in the area..."Weel...dat dun non fair" he remarked as he looked for the red and blue shorts. He looked at Creda and then gave a frown. "Umm, no i haave noo resraaaints of mai powers. I can change to any ting and any one" he shrugged and then shifted in to her "I canna copy powahs doe"

[Creda Shields]

As soon as the turtle appeared from the water, Creda had instantly prepared for battle.

Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May my wings fly for thee, O Lord.

With a burst of grey feathers, the wings shimmered to life, bristling slightly as they were freed from her tattoo prison. Klement was already there though, his change being much quicker than her own.

...maybe a test is required. Let's see what you can do. Impress me and you may not be as unworthy as I first thought.

Fate had obviously been kind enough to let her sit out of this battle, however, she kept her wings out, just in case the odds were not with this strange shape changer. And in fifteen minutes, it was done, Klement being the victor.

And entirely nude.

Creda just raised an eyebrow.

"Well, whilst that fight was somewhat impressive, I recommend you find some clothing. It is not exactly considered polite to talk whilst in the nude."

Although, his power has potential...

"Can I request you try changing shape to another person?" Creda asked. "Use me as an example."

She was completely unaffected by the boy's nakedness, it seemed. Though she did angle her wings so that she could only see his face.

[Koishi]

Klement looked at Creda, slightly amazed by her and then pointed. "You dun angel, wadd up wif dis school and de heeven an hell bizzyness? De first person i meet was a....weel i gez iz not muchofa deal.." He gave a shrug.

He let out a sigh as he desprately looked around for his clothes, finally finding them when Talbot dragged them out of somewhere. Klement wasn't paying much attention. He quickly got dressed and then gave another sight. He didn't mind being naked, he could be both a boy and girl, its not like he should be ashamed of skin.

Klement scratched his head and looked at her and made a face at her order. Was it an order? Maybe dis was how the weird girlie made friends...he didn't know.

He gave her a thumbs up and then quickly morphed in to her , mocking her wings and all. "TA-da," he said in his Cajun accent but with her voice..she then cleared her throat "Does this suit your ideals?" she asked Creda. "I should let you know that I cannot copy your powers, memories or personalty, only your looks and voice" She smiled in Creda's form...it was possibly a bizarre sight.

[Creda Shields]

At least he recognises one above his station, though his respect could use some work. Wait a moment... Heaven and Hell? That Oblitum person was giving off distinctly demonic vibes, but I honestly couldn't say for certain... Hmm, this bears thought.

Noting he'd finally put some pants on, she finally folded her wings in, yet didn't de-summon them just yet. Yet her eyes widened upon his transformation. Eyes, body type, even her wings were on display, yet without a mirror or any reflective surface. She stepped around the transformed shifter, looking for any details that could be picked out as false. She couldn't find one cosmetic difference.

However, that accent is repugnant. At least he...she...it can change their voice too.

"Fascinating..." she murmured, gently stroking her own pale alabaster shoulder, that was on the copy rather than her. "You truly were blessed by Fate for this gift..."

[Koishi]

Klem-- what ever let out a giggle in Creda's form, the touch tickled and she grinned at Creda. "Sorry, dat tickels" she laughed. "Wat dose fait havta do wif anyting? And wai are so manhay people hear sain' dat i got such a gefft." she shook her head, confused on the matter. It was an easy thing for her to do, and she was sure that there was other shifters out there. There had to be.

She scratched her nose and stared at the other girl. "Is deer any ting else you would like me to sift to?" She stretched upwards and stretched out the pair of black wings to full length. "Whaddo you do?" she asked watching Creda circle her like a predator wearing down its prey. The thought made her laugh, this girl was a bit like a predator from what she had seen of her.

[Creda Shields]

Did he just... He did.

"Fate is everything to do with anything." Creda replied, with a tone that indicated a slight bit of shock at the notion one could not appreciate this line of thought. "It's what made me, me and you, you. It even gave birth to...your pet. It guides us forever by it's own whims and never steers wrong or right, only in the way it deems fit."

She frowned further at his insistence that he didn't have anything special.

"What you have seperates you from the others. Any dullard can throw a fireball and cause destruction. Yet this power has uses beyond that, auxiliary use. Spying, stealth, even combat if properly applied. The potential you have is staggering. Iy's almost wasted on you."

Not caring about how she sounded, Creda continued. She didn't like how Klement was grinning and laughing. It didn't suit her face at all.

"Not right now...I've seen enough. You don't have to remain in my form." she replied. "As for me, the wings should give you a clue."

No sense in telling him EVERYTHING I can do. Guide my tongue.

[Koishi]

Klemence gave a calm face as she slowly shifted in to her female form. It was clear that she had said something that struck a nerve with the girl. Fate was something she didn't quite believe in, she didn't know what she entirely believed in but she knew it wasn't part of the whole religious thing. She was razed by southern baptists, and she was slightly done with it.

Klem, sheeza angeel....durpdederrr

Klemence squinted at the other girl and sighed. "Ima sorry, and honestlah i donna wanna be a spie or do any ting like dat, see everybody wanna me to be what i donna want." She frowned at her. It started with her mother and went everywhere between her grandmother, then Oblitium even this girl was putting assumptions on her.

Klemence took a calming breath and calmed down, as she picked up the small Leat and scratched its belly. "Buut alzo, mai powahs arn't waisted on me. Wat if a perzon who was mentally ill or powah crazy had mai powah. Den de world would be scrued" she nodded, she stared at Creda for a moment. "soooo, riotous...righteous fury of de god sorttah ting?"

[Creda Shields]

Seeing her morph into female form, Creda nodded slightly.

"I...understand. I know how it feels being forced into work you wanted no part of but were kept to do anyway." Her mind flashed back to the time of the PCG and her hand inadvertently clutched at the black and gold cross around her neck. "But if the cause is good, surely you would use it for that? It isn't with a mentally ill person. It isn't with one who is power mad. It lies with you."

The winged girl shook her head and Klemence's next question.

"I am no wrath of God. I'm merely his servant. His tool. He blessed me with wings before I was even born. I'm fated to be worthy of his praise, I must just walk the road given to me. God will manage the rest."

[Koishi]

Klemence watched the girl as she explained her self. Klemence understood the girl's views on life, it seemed didn't have any free will that she thought. Klemence also understood now that this girl had to be a certain way, or at least grew to be a certain way.

But if the cause is good, surely you would use it for that?

"No, not even ef it waz used foar good, Because people cannot be good, dey are greedy and only tink for dem selves. Even doh i am a good perzon, dere are people around me dat are welling do destroy me for mai powah. Or dey shun me for et."

It wasn't like Klemence hated people, she hated being used by them. Thats why she liked to excape so much, to be free of people. Animals wouldn't judge you based on power or looks. They would just eat you if you were injured or use you as protection.

Animals were honest...well most of them were.

[Creda Shields]

Creda nodded.

"You're right. People are not good. We're evil by nature. It's why we are cleansed at baptism, to try to absolve us of our original sin. But it never works. It's why I've dedicated my life to another. To keep me from falling into the same trap. Following Him, I can do no wrong."

She considered putting a hand on the shifter's shoulder, but thought better of it. No sense in opening up fully just yet. She could still be unworthy.

Although...this could bear fruit...if seeds were planted...

"My father left me in a hospital, abandoned from birth due to my gift." Creda explained patiently. "But the one I follow, He's different. He saved my life. Taught me how to combat those who destroy or shun us."

She gave the now-girl the closest she had to a kind look. It wasn't much better than her regular one.

"Just think on it. For now, I must go train."

Creda turned to go.

[Koishi]

Klemence looked the angel that was before him. She thought on what the girl said. About needing a person to help keep her on the right path. Klement sighed. Her brain was clicking together like clogs in a clock. That's when she reazlied. She didnt need anyone but her self. Yes, there was her family, and her friends but she was smart enough to see the evil in people and if people could do her harm.

She didn't need someone to tell her what to do, she didn't need a holy body to keep her good. She gave a sigh and looked back at the girl as she was walking away. "Im sorry, but i donna need a person to save me, and i donna need to be someting dat im not. Because i know dat ima strong enough to take care ob mai self. But dankyou for de offer."

She gave a smile to Talbot and then shifted in to a Aqua and white Leat where Talbot was a shimmering Peacock colors.
