I'm asking this as someone who absolutely ADORES Lucy St. Louis as Christine, do you think Lucy would have been cast as Christine if Covid never happened?

Kelly Mathieson did say at the time that she was going to be leaving at the 2020 Cast Change, so we would have been getting a new Christine regardless

But, I have always had this feeling, due to the other circumstances that occurred in Phantom London at the time, that Lucy St. Louis' casting as Christine was a bit of a "Consolation Prize"/"Compensation?"

Am I alone in this mindset?

I think she would have been cast, but it would have been very different circumstances from how it happened in 2020.

For one thing, IMO COVID-19 and the subsequent shutdown provided a perfect excuse for CamMack and co. to shutter the original West End production and push in their modified version. So had COVID-19 not occurred, the original West End production might very well still be going, albeit with some changes regardless (I know that even before the shutdown, the Golden Angel had stopped working and the technology for it was too old for them to fix, so something might have changed there). So Lucy St Louis might very well have been cast as Christine, and there would probably still have been huge fanfare for her as the first black Christine in Phantom on West End if she was indeed the first, but it would have been as a replacement Christine, perhaps even an alternate, not as the original principal Christine of the West End revival.

But additionally... I do agree with you that Lucy St Louis's casting, right when it was announced that the original West End production had been shut down and they were opening a new, modified version... yeah, it was something of a diversionary marketing practice. I know some people don't like that argument, for understandable reasons, as it seems to downplay Lucy St Louis's considerable talents, her deserved fame now, and all the work it took her to get to where she is now.

But ignoring that most every actor gets where they are through a combination of talent, work, and plain good luck and connections (see, for an extreme example, Katie Knight Adams being cast as Christine because CamMack wanted her in the role), I also don't see this a a knock against Lucy St Louis at all. Rather, it's pointing out what should be obvious now: companies and corporations will use diversity as a marketing tactic. They will! They know it's something people want to see, they know it gives them "virtuous corporation" points or whatever you want to call it, and they know if they do it, people will sigh and go, "Okay, they did so-and-so sucky things, but on the other hand they are trying to be more inclusive and representative of minorities, so I guess they're okay..."

And I think that was exactly what CamMack and co. were doing here: "Okay, the phans are going to be mad at us for doing this, but what if we did this..." It's a case of being mad at the higher-ups for their cynical use of diversity as a marketing ploy and sop to fans, not to downgrade Lucy St Louis (who is also one of my favorite Christines!) or say she was "only" cast because she's black. None of this is on Lucy St Louis, it's on the people in charge of the show, and it just sucks because, just like the circumstances of the West End revival, it creates this pall on her casting which she does not deserve.

And yet... and yet... IMO had the COVID shutdown not happened, I don't think Lucy St Louis would have been cast in 2020; I think hers or similar casting would have occurred far, far later down the line, because as much as ALW and co. were talking a big talk about diversity, it sure wasn't happening that much in Phantom pre-COVID. (Like, whoo, we got Ali Ewoldt, Jordan Donica, and Rodney Ingram in 2016-2017, but do we get anyone else after? Nope. Oh boy, we got our first Asian Raoul in the West End in the year of our Lord 2019 and he's an understudy, let's celebrate guys.)

And I know this is all speculation, I don't know anything about this alternate timeline other than guesses... but it brings up that conundrum of what are we willing to accept. When is casting diversely okay? Is it all right even when it's being done to make money? Should we expect corporations to do it "out of the goodness of their heart"? When are the benefits of representation and helping minorities feel seen outweighed by the fact that this was done for purely marketing practices? It's something I think a lot of people are grappling with in this era. And I don't have an answer for you on that.

Incarnation

I made a plot decision some of you may not like, but I do not care lol because it gave me joy :)

https://starr-fall-knight-rise.tumblr.com/post/182501791735/master-post

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jzEIdDAB4omdO2JcQVMObfrhLJ5kX4ONmSsLypM1ks0/edit?usp=sharing

Krill had never not been afraid, but this time he wasn’t alone.

Dr. Katie sat across from him, long dark hair spilling down onto her scrubs, large brown eyes wide with shock made even wider by the lenses of her glasses. She may have been a doctor, but she could have easily fit the human movie trope of- unreasonably attractive librarian.

“You aren’t serious.” She said

Krill nodded , outside the room, and down the hall, he could hear the sound of running feet and tromping boots battering at the floor of the Empyrean. Waylayed on their trip, once again, the Empyrean had taken a detour at the Europe colonies within the Jovian system. Pockets of void resistance fighters had made the system a hell in space, and Adam had been unable to pass up the request for help levied on him by the governor of Io.

“I can’t just do that, not without permission….”

“Permission from who?”

Katie stammered, paused, bit her lip and then tried again, “From …. Adam.”

“Not his decision.”

She wrung her hands, “But krill, you, if you die-”

“If I die, you are more than capable of taking my place .”

He didn’t miss the incredulous and skeptical eyebrow raise that she leveled at him, it was an expression that could only truly have the full effect when used by a human.

There are 42 muscles in the human face, two eyes with visible white sclera and eyebrows upon the eyebrow ridges, which, while they help to keep sweat out of the eyes, also helped to harness the full effect of the human nonverbal communication . The entirety of the human face was designed for communication , and over the past few years Krill had come to read expressions with the same unconscious know-how of any human .

He reached on one small, frail hand and placed it over her strong, human one. Despite the skeptical eyebrow, he could see the fear in her face too, the tightening around the corners of her mouth, the hardness of her jaw, the set of her lips into a thin line against her pale skin.

“I am tired of feeling useless.”

Katie shook her head, “But Krill that’s stupid. You-”

“Yes yes, best surgeon in the galaxy. What would we do without you, how could we go on etc etc. Katie, there are plenty of great doctors in the world, but very few of them who can harness Anima power.” He continued to pat her hand, “I am tired of hiding in the background while my friends go off to die in glorious battle. I hate having to watch it and I will tolerate it no longer

She looked at him with a pained expression, “I don’t think I could live with myself…. If I killed you.”

“Than Don’t/”

***

Krill’s words had not been comforting. The little doctor that tried his best of course, and the fact that he was placing his life in her hands was, well it was certainly the greatest compliment he could have given, but even so.

No pressure.

She was being asked to fill the shoes of the greatest surgeon who had probably ever lived. Four arms and four separate cortical hemispheres, not to mention the ability to float which was sort of handy when it came to operating. Krill’s Vrul body was almost meant for the surgical suite.

But her….

Well she had only two clumsy human arms and only two cortical hemispheres of which neither could operate independently, and even if they were separated, like they occasionally were in extreme cases of epilepsy , only one hemisphere of her brain was capable of speech.

Not exactly stellar .

Compared to Krill's brilliant mind, her brain was like the slow kid eating paste in the corner while he did rapid physics computations on the chalkboard, there was simply no comparison, and still somehow, she was here standing as the orderlies helped her to dress in the sterile gown.

She held her hands before her face, newly gloved and ready. Someone held a surgical gown in front of her, and she stepped into it waiting patiently as they tied it down in back. All her hair was pulled back into a tight bun and tucked up under a hairnet. As far as surgeries went, it was both the least invasive and most invasive form of brain surgery possible.

The risk of infection was low, and the incision would be microscopic, however cutting someone’s soul out of their head is probably the definition of invasive if one were to look up the word in Webster’s dictionary .

“You ready?”

She turned her head Catching a set of inhuman eyes staring back at her from behind a hairnet and mask. Celex cocked one technicolor eyebrow at her. The face he had picked for himself was a good representation of his personality, looking every bit the emperor he used to be with a hawkish nose, sharp eyes and neatly trimmed beard. It was a look she happened to find annoyingly handsome, despite Celex’s choice to take on the form of a man in his late thirties rather than youthful twenties.

But she supposed anyone would look good if they could take on any form they chose.

“No.” She said bluntly.

Behind Celex Conn floated gently past ribbons tied back and braided into neat rows to keep from getting in the way. They should be out with Adam right now, helping to clean up the Jovian system, but krill had either bullied or cajoled both of them into being here, without Adam knowing about it . Then again it probably hadn’t taken much to cajole either of them.

Both Celex and Conn had similar personalities in that way.

Not giving a damn was a pretty big part of both of them.

Despite her earlier answer, when the surgical doors opened, she stepped inside with a purpose, opening to a room with a waiting surgical staff, and Krill’s tiny body lying in wait for her on the operating chair. He looked so frail from here, a tangle of stick thin limbs she could have snapped over her knee if she half wanted .

In a way this surgery would be harder than any Krill had had to perform, since it would be on a subject who died more easily than any human. Brain surgery wasn’t something they tended to perform on many other species other than humans. If she messed something up, it might not matter if Krill had anima power because in all likelihood he would spend the rest of his days in a vegetative state drooling everywhere.

She tried to shut off those thoughts, which certainly weren’t doing her any good.

She took a deep breath and stepped forward, two telepaths flanking her on either sde.

She didn’t have telepathic abilities herself, and had no desire to gain them in the future, but she would need their help to guide her to the source of Krill’s anima and all of the extra tethers she would need to sever.

Conn positioned himself around behind Krill, and Celex stood behind her resting one heavy, gloved hand on her shoulder, “Ready/” He asked again

This time she nodded, and she felt as Celex shifted bringing his hands to rest on the back of her neck and head. The sensation was like a chain of lightning bursting through her body, electrifying her limbs and brain. She struggled to orient herself for a moment, confused at the new sensation that lapped inside her mind.

It was a strange feeling to say the least, like if your arm had been numb for your entire life, and all of a sudden sensation came flooding back.

She could sense her brain now, her own mind like a physical space, and Celex with her, his thoughts lapping around through her head like warm, rolling eddies of water in a shallow sea.

Through him she could sense a tether to Conn, whose mind was alien and strange, but not difficult to understand.

And she knew where to go.

She couldn’t have said it was easy. It took all her concentration just to stay on task, to keep her hands moving at the microscopic levels required to perform the surgery. On many occasions her focus began to fade a bit, bolstered only by the slow pressure of the emperor’s mind pressing against her own . Even so she was glad to have him, because when the ache in her feet rose up, he tamped it back down, curtailing her awareness to this signal moment.

Cutting away what held Krill in place.

The further she went the harder it got, until the last few strands were left in place.

She cut one,

Then another.

Just one more left, just had to position correctly. Her hands faltered, second guessed. Celex did his best to steady her, and in a moment of clarity she cut, praying that it wouldn’t be too much.

The slice came, and in a moment she knew she had taken off more than intended. She watched the thread holding Krill in place, fray, like it was going to break, and listened to the sound of the machines going haywire.

She had killed him.

And then the room erupted into light, and she was thrown backwards slamming hard into Celex’s chest and sending them both to the floor some feet away. Somewhere in the fall he wrapped his arms around her chest, so when they did hit the floor, she was relatively cushioned.

She lay there stunned and in shock as her eyes burned and tried to recalibrate.

Her surgical lenses had fallen off and her vision was blurry when it finally came back into focus.

Krill’s body lay silent and listless on the table, unmoving.

All the lights had gone out, but still the room was lit like noon day, from a glowing ball of energy hovering at the center of the room. As she watched the ball of energy began to churn and contort, forcing itself slowly into shape as the light died away.

And as it did, her eyes went wide

***

Adam felt it when it came, a sudden psychic blast of energy that rocked through the entire empyrean just moments after stepping off the shuttle. He was tired, exhausted from a day’s work dealing with cultists, but that sudden rush of power had him up and alert in seconds.

He tossed his SE helmet to one of the shuttle officers, and turned towards the docking lieutenant, “What the hell was that.”

The look on the man’s face was pretty clear, he had no idea.

Beside him, Sunny straightened herself from the back of the shuttle faceplate on her armor sliding back, “did the Void breach us ”

“I don’t know.” He said, and together they started up the hall. He didn’t like the idea of the void breaking onto his ship while he was away. Together, he, Sunny, and a few other marines charged up the hallway after the origin of the explosion. It took them a few minutes to make their way through the massive ship racing down hallways and corridors in a mad dash.

They weren’t far away from the medical wing now. Adam skidded around the last corner, feet flailing on the floor, and only had just enough time to register the brief image of a man, tan russet skin, reddish hair, thin, not very tall, holding krill’s limp body under one arm, stark raving naked, and with a look of absolute rage on his face.

But that was all he got before the naked man drew back his fist and coldcoked him across the jaw so hard he went down seeing stars and little cartoon birds.

Earl Emotional Damage and All Vows (Longfic) Update

(Earl Carpenter & Katie Knight-Adams, West End, 2006)

Now that I have your attention...I will be moving to an every-other week posting schedule for All Vows starting this week. I'm still several weeks ahead, but this will enable staying on a regular posting schedule as the chapters get longer without having to go on hiatus when I or my beta readers have other things going on.

I'm choosing to slow down here because I'm starting to commission art to go with the chapters, and chapter 19 will have some gorgeous art to go along with it. I will also be posting some smutty one-shots independently.

Character ask: Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny (The Phantom of the Opera)

Tagged by anonymous

Musical canon only, because I haven't read the novel.

Favorite thing about them: His devotion to Christine and resolve to protect her, even at the cost of his own life.

Least favorite thing about them: His plan to use Christine as bait to catch the Phantom by having her sing in Don Juan Triumphant, despite her objections. His intentions are good, but the result is Piangi's murder and Christine's second kidnapping.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I enjoy opera.

*I'm loyal and affectionate.

*I'm nostalgic about my childhood friendships.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I'm female.

*I'm not an aristocrat.

*No one would ever call me a "slave of fashion."

Favorite line: The lyrics to "All I Ask of You."

brOTP: None in particular.

OTP: Christine.

nOTP: The Phantom.

(Although I do enjoy Love Never Dies-inspired comedy fic where, after Christine's death, they reluctantly decide to live together for Gustave's sake and become the most unlikely pair of dads.)

Random headcanon: He'll never become an alcoholic or a gambler, and Christine will never have a child by another man, especially not by the Phantom. Love Never Dies will never happen.

Unpopular opinion: I understand why so many Phans dislike him, but I don't agree with it. Their dislike has a little more basis than, say, the dislike of Cosette among old-school Les Misérables fans: it's not just that he's in the way of the Phantom/Christine ship. He's genuinely the flattest of the three lead characters, and he makes a few big mistakes over the course of the story. But that doesn't make him a bad person, or just a "fop," or wrong for Christine.

Song I associate with them: "All I Ask of You."

youtube

Favorite picture of them:

Steve Barton with Sarah Brightman as Christine, London, 1986.

Michael Ball, London, 1987.

Reece Holland (yes, fellow '90s kids, the March Hare from Adventures in Wonderland), Los Angeles, 1989.

Ramin Karimloo (yes, he played Raoul before he played the Phantom) with Katie Knight-Adams as Christine, London, 2004.

Oliver Thornton, London, 2004. (When I visited London as a teen that year and took in some West End shows, he was playing Enjolras in Les Misérables while Ramin Karimloo was playing Raoul in Phantom, but then after I left, they switched roles!)

Patrick Wilson in the 2004 film.

Jim Weitzer, US Tour, 2006.

Hadley Fraser, 25th Anniversary Royal Albert Hall performance, 2011.

oh oh oh "isaac" for the wip ask game (or if he's not there yet "jon" bc you know what im about 💕) - katie

Hiiii katie! I know the ask said "a sentence" but Im ignoring it anyway :)

[...] Isaac is still in a combat-ready mode; in his own custom black metal armour catching the golden light, his hand grips the handle of his sword with intent. Adam couldn’t remember a single moment where Isaac is anything less than an exemplary knight befitting of his position and title as Carley’s right-hand man anyway, though he’d wish Isaac has also relaxed a little.

#ask and ye shall receive #dy writes #royalty au #katie #sullivanbeaubrown #knight! Isaac in black armour is something that is so important to me #hope you see my vision :)

🔥 + Phantom of the Opera

So, after seeing a full video of Katie Knight-Adams as Christine... she has goofy moments but I don't think she's *that* bad tbh, she understands the role overall, her singing is fine and there are nice little details here and there.

Send me a 🔥 + a musical/book/movie/TV series and I'll give you a hot take about it.

#phantom of the opera #tbh there are other christines with weaker voices and over-the-top acting that get a pass so *shrugs*#ask meme #a boring christine is worse imho

if JAJ is the Raoul version of Cooper, who is the Christine version of Cooper?

Katie Knight Adams, no contest. Most Christines that I dislike are merely boring; Katie Knight Adams is the only one who is actively weird. Look, I even put her in the same gifset as Cooper Grodin. Clearly they belong together.

Sunny was the first to react. Steel rasped over steel as she darted to stand protectively between Adam and the manic naked man who had just decked him. With the butt end of her spear, she rammed the stranger back into the wall, before flipping her spear around to lay the blade point end at the base of his throat.

The stranger huffed loudly as he was thrown back against the wall, wind knocked partially from his lungs, but when he finally regained his breath, instead of speaking, protesting or otherwise, he simply began to laugh.. The laugh was long, loud and rather manic leaving Sunny a bit unsettled.

She snarled, pressing the speartip hard against his throat, cutting off the laugh. Her eyes darted to Krill’s lifeless body which lay dangling under one of the man’s arms, “IS he dead?”

The man giggled.

Sunny snarled, “You better think of your next words very carefully, or I’m going to run you through like a kebab.”

Behind her on the floor, Adam was just beginning to regain his senses.

The punch hadn’t been strong enough to knock him out, but he flexed his jaw experimentally as he sat up, a woozy hand to his head.

“WAIT!”

Some of the pressure eased up on Sunny’s spear, and she drew back slightly, turning her head only far enough to be able to see to the end of the hallway, while still being able to keep an eye on their attacker.

She was certainly surprised to find Dr. Katie dressed in full surgical scrubs come puffing up the hallway, followed closely by Celex and Conn in similar states of dress. Katie held out a hand, “Don’t hurt him.”

Sunny frowned, glanced down at Krill’s limp body and then back at them.

It took her a few seconds to weigh their friendship, determine how much she trusted them before stepping back and lowering her spear. The man relaxed somewhat, breathing hard as his head fell forward. She had nicked the skin of his neck a bit, causing a gentle ruby to begin forming against his russet skin.

Slowly, the man reached up, passing a hand over his neck before drawing his hand away to examine the blood now staining his fingers. Instead of being fearful like she might have assumed, he was almost gleeful.

Sunny turned towards the end of the hall, the question plain on every line of her face.

Who was this madman? For a moment she assumed it was a crew member who had had some sort of psychotic break due to the anesthesia. She wasn’t sure if that was possible, but it was plausible enough to keep hr from murdering him just on principal.

Adam was still holding a hand to his face when the stranger’s expression finally began to resolve itself away from manic .

In the space of a moment, the stranger went very still, the manic light in his eyes died away, replaced by something that was unnervingly like cold calculation. He turned his expression back to Adam, who still sat on the floor looking back and forth between the stranger and the surgical team searching for answers that were not forthcoming

“You have no idea how long I have waited to do that.” Adam frowned and Sunny frowned with him. Somehow that voice seemed, familiar, vocal tone, or cadence or something that she couldn’t place.

The familiarity of the voice only served to deepen Adam’s confusion.

“I’m sorry have we-”

The stranger didn’t bother to answer the question, but kept going, “For all the stupid, idiotic, dangerous, numb skulled bullshit that you have put me through over the years.” The stranger was gaining some momentum, slow deliberate words devolving rapidly into a no holds barred rant that echoed up and down the hallway, “For all the cuts, burns, poisonings, gunshots, electrocutions, stabbings, abrasions lacerations, contusions and concussions because you are the dumbest, most foolhardy, self sacrificing dumbass with the world's most rotund savior complex, and all the time you are leaving me there to sit and worry, and twiddle my antenna on principal-”

“Krill!”

Adam got it a second before Sunny, whose mouth dropped open in a stupor of shock and confusion.

Bruised jaw forgotten for the moment, Adam scrambled to his feet eyes wide as he stared at the man…. At krill , who glowered up at him, and now that she knew, sunny wondered how she had missed it before.

She couldn’t have explained it, but this man.

Couldn’t have been anyone else.

The facial expressions, the way he spoke, the way he moved, the defiant jut of his chin. She almost felt stupid for not seeing it before.

Adam inched forward leaning in to examine Krill like he was a specimen in a jar, “Woah.”

Krill tried to bat Adam’s hand aside, but Adam caught him easily by the wrist, “You got one free shot on me, but that’s it.” He turned to look at the others, Katie, Celex, and Conn standing at the end of the hall and shuffling their feet like naughty grade schoolers, “I think someone needs to explain to me what’s going on.”

***

Twenty minutes later, they reconvened. Celex had tried to instruct Krill on the fine art of manifesting clothing to go with his Anima shape, but that hadn’t really worked out, so instead he had borrowed a pair of scrubs and an old white lab coat from medical storage.

As soon as the coat was pulled on over his shoulders, everyone could feel as the missing piece clicked right into place. It was almost as if those clothes had been made specifically for this form.

Together, they all sat or stood in various stages of shock and confusion inside the medical wing. Krill’s non-anima body lay lifeless on one of the med bay cots, though Katie had determined, with some relief, that the body wasn’t dead, but in something like a persistent vegetative state.

Dr Katie herself sat rather sheepishly on one of the nearby beds. She had taken off her surgical gown and hairnet, allowing her long, dark hair to fall in gentlewaves around her shoulders. Celex stood a few feet away from her with an expression of amusement rather than sheepishness.

Conn almost seemed bored.

At the far end of the room, Krill stood in his new clothing staring down at his very human hands, flexing them slowly open and then closed, watching as the tendons on the back of his hand moved and rolled beneath the skin

It was hard to tell the perceived age of Krill’s Anima body , but after some deliberation Adam might have said late thirties or early forties. Were it not for the subtle lines around the eyes, he might have said late twenties. It was however, the subtle dash of silver in Krill’s reddish hair that convinced him, though makers know Adam wasn’t one to judge a man’s age by the amount of grey he had From head to toe Krill still wasn’t very tall,, though he wasn’t that short either, maybe 5’9 at most. His skin was a dark russet with visible undertones of red which either matched or clashed with his dark reddish orange hair, sticking up around his skull in an untidy mess.

Like celex, Only his eyes marked him as inhuman, the irises themselves a rather disconcerting shade of orange not possible on any other human.

“So,.... you did an animectomy…. On a vrul?” Adam said, turning to look at Katie who still sat shuffling her feet at the edge of the cot.

“He insisted….” Katie said feebly

Adam rubbed the back of his head, “I’d call you reckless if I weren’t so impressed.” he shot a glance at krill, “Even he hasn’t attempted a surgery that hard.” Krill frowned at him, and gave him the finger, a gesture that seemed to delight him immensely.

Adam snorted, “What possessed you to…. Do this?”

This time the question was directed at Krill, who finally looked up from playing with his newly acquired hands.

Bruises were already beginning to develop over the back of his knuckles, a surprising turn of events considering the body was his anima. Every Animectomy they had done had resulted in different outcomes for everyone. Adam and Sunny had been given the ability to communicate telepathically and occasionally use the power of the anima. Maverick, it seemed, had regained all her memories and thus was able to use her powers in full, though she hadn’t been able to disconnect herself from her body, and now there was krill, who seemed disconnected from his body but also tethered.

So far, his human form had shown no signs of overt anima power.

Krill himself hypothesized that all of the anima energy was being used to maintain the human form he now held.

He couldn’t read minds.

And he wasn’t indestructible.

Krill reached up and ran a searching hand through his hair, blinking his eyes at them, “It’s so…. Strange…. The way you see things its… precise.”

“Krill-” Adam prodded.

Krill frowned at him, taking full advantage of his new human face to make the expression, “I was sick and tired of being useless.”

This time it was Adam’s turn to frown, ‘Who said you were useless/’

“No one.” Another voice announced to the doorway,and the group of them turned to see Riss scuttle into the room. He paused for a moment to look krill up and down, having made the connection more rapidly than the rest of them. His expression was vaguely thoughtful, “He has a complex, thinks helping only matters if it's on the front lines. Apparently saving lives and helping people isn’t good enough.” he turned his gaze to krill studying him with a critical expression, “You’re short.” He said finally.

Krill frowned at him again, an expression that was going to start leaving lines on his face if he did it anymore, walked over and picked Riss up, like he was picking up a toddler.

Riss seemed surprised and krill seem rather pleased with himself, “I wouldn’t sass me anymore.” He smiled showing off two rows of perfectly straight, white teeth,.

Riss simply patted his cheek, “yes yes, of course.” He said in a bored voice.

Annoyed, Krill set him back down, turning his head in slow circles, then closing his eyes, “It feels so…. Strange.” He muttered

The rest of the room exchanged looks. Then turned to Celex who was the only one in the room who had any sort of experience in this matter.

He waved a hand, “Becoming human can be…. disconcerting . I imagine its even worse for Krill. All of a sudden the way you see things changes, sharpens out. Your hearing becomes better, and so does your vision, when a gust of air rushes past you its like…. Feeling particles against your skin. You can hear….. everything , and when your body moves it's almost, narcotic, the pull and push of muscles and tendons.” He frowned again, “And then there is this, feeling, a subtle need to move, to run….” He paused, “I don’t know if that’s just me though. Being human….. Its addictive.”

Krill hummed, similarly to how he might have hummed in pleasure as a vrul but the sound was strangely inhuman.

And watching Krill, they all had to admit it was almost like he was high. His eyes were closed and he rocked gently from one foot to the other as if swaying to music only he could hear.

Of course it was to all of their surprise when parts of Krill’s body began to flake away and evaporate into sudden starbursts of light.

Adam rose from his seat, and so did Katie, but by that time Krill’s body had winked out of existence, and the body lying on the cot jolted suddenly awake, shooting upward in an attempted movement that was far too human to work on a vrul body.

Vrul Krill groaned.

They all hurried to cluster over next to him.

When he finally began to focus, Adam thought his expression might have been mildly

Disappointed.
