(Alr I’ll post starter)
Hazel strapped herself into the pilot seat, and prepared for takeoff. An AI voice came over the speaker.
“Takeoff in 3…2…1…”
She felt the space ship shaking as it took off, and within seconds she was in space. This spaceship was one of the fastest spacecraft known to mankind. Suddenly, her captain’s voice blared through her headset. Her captain was back on Earth, watching her spaceship through high-tech maps, and instructing her on what to do.
“Hazel, do you hear me? There’s an incoming meteor shower! Get out of the way!”
Hazel looked out of her window, noticing hundreds of meteors right in front of her.
“Too late!” she shouted into her headset.
The ship rocked from side to side while getting hit by the hundreds of meteors. It wasn’t severely damaged, but it was better safe than sorry.
“We’ve located a nearby planet!” said her captain.”It’s called Gor, it has signs of intelligent life and it has oxygen. You should set down there for repairs.”
Hazel gently landed her ship on Gor’s grassy surface, getting out the repair equipment. But too late did she notice the people just a few metres away from her. -
Raina heard a noise from the sky above, and felt confused. This wasn't any if the 'run of the mill' sounds you would hear on Gor. This one was...different. She quickly threw on a jacket over her clothes and slid on some boots, quickly tying them. She took a deep breath as she headed outside, keeping her head down. While she walked toward where she thought the noise was coming from, she shifted into a taller body with slender features. Something more prone to a stick, that way she could blend in with the trees, and near-by surroundings. The last thing she needed was unwarranted attention if the situation arose. As she walked forward, the noise got louder. It sounded like some sort of heavy machinery, that had been busted or broken.
Soon, she reached the edge of the tree-line, and could see why she heard the noise she did. It looked to be a foreign spaceship of some kind. It looked as if there were already people surrounding the ship, and the person who was making an attempt to work on the craft. Raina decided that for now, she would sit and observe from a distance. -
(im not the best at writing lots of stuff so this is the best, plus i forgot to say but Xehhex's regular form is a vaguely humanoid cat-wolf with black and grey fur)
Xehhex heard a gentle thud. Curious as to where the noise came from, he shifted into a mouse like creature. His little paws scurrying across the grassy hill. His small sonar-dish shaped ears turned to face every noise. Its black and grey fur shifting like liquid as he gets closer the noise. It stops as it sees the noise maker. A ship.
Planning to escape from this cursed and lonely place, they scurried to one of the nearby trees. They look around and don't spot anyone. Shifting into a small snake, he slithered across the grass. He spots the people around. Panicking, he darts behind a rock. His black and grey scales almost camouflaged to the rock. -
Alanine heard a loud beeping noise, so she quickly grabbed her sword, which she named Bronzerose and had enchanted, and then rushed towards the sound. The other Tarnsmen were also there, exclaiming and trying to figure out what this vehicle is. She warily stepped forward, then slid open the door of the space ship.
“Hello? Anyone there?” she called, sticking her head into the ship.
No one replied, so she went further into the ship. She was just about to approach the cockpit, when suddenly…
“Ahh!” Hazel came out of the cockpit wielding a large ray gun, saw Alanine, and screamed.
“Aargh!” Alanine stumbled backwards, nearly dropping her sword. “What are you? Where are you from?”
Alanine steps out of the space ship and alerts her fellow Tarnsmen that it’s safe to approach but to stay on guard. -
Raina's face turned into a scour as she realized that the others that were here, were the Tarnsmen. She didn't want to get any closer than she had too, but curiosity was getting the better part of her. She wanted to know what that ship held on the inside. For so long she had been fascinated with what was beyond this planet. Maybe this was opportunity knocking at her door. She stepped forward, shifting as she did so into a bird. It wasn't as risky as a bigger animal, and she had more of an opportunity to just flit into the ship. As she took a few steps forward, she stretched put her wings and took off.
Before she knew it, she landed on top of the ship. She could hear the Tarnsmen, and whoever was working on the ship talking. She stayed quiet as to listen, but also looked for another way in other than the hull that the others had walked through. -
Xehhex notices the bird. It looks at the bird curiously, normal birds wouldn't go anywhere near this ship or any ship. It shrugs and slithers into the shadowed grass under the ship. They shift into a slink-like creature, black and grey scales shifting like liquid as they into grow limbs. They push up against the ship's outside wall, trying to camouflage. Slowly creeping towards the now opened door.
He stops and acts like he isn't there as the Tarnsmen make noise. Frozen in fear of being caught. He moves backwards into the more shaded area. It shifts into a small mouse-like creature and scurries slowly towards the door again. Its black and grey fur shifting like liquid and being moved with the slight breeze -
Hazel saw a bird approaching the ship, and scrambled back into the ship in fear that maybe the bird was hostile or something. Alanine came in after her, but didn’t notice the bird.
“Who are you?! What are you? WHERE ARE YOU FROM?!!” Alanine shouted, tightly gripping her sword.
“Woah, woah, woah, calm down! I come in peace!” Hazel dropped her ray gun onto the floor and came out of the space ship to check out what’s going on outside. Alanine followed. Unfortunately, they didn’t notice the small mouse-like creature creeping towards the door. -
Raina walked along the top of the ship, stretching out her wings. So far, she didn't see anything on top of the ship that could help her with making her way inside. She thought for a moment, then nodded. Her body transformed into a smaller creature. One that could (hopefully), make it through with out being seen. She looked at herself as she transformed into a fly. Her legs, now able to climb along any surface. She walked as quickly as she could, and before she knew it, she was at the door to the ship. She could hear what she could only assume to be the ships captain, then the Tarnsmen. Raina tried not to focus to much on what they were saying to each other, instead crawling onto the door, and then the roof. If they were to busy with each other, they wouldn't notice her just climbing away.
As the conversation continued, she got to see more of the ship. It wasn't like anything she had seen before. There were rows and rows of buttons, and levers. Each of them looked to be a different color. As she made her way to a darkened corner, she couldn't help but wonder why this person was here. -
They freeze and shift into the grass. Their liquid-like fur easily turning into grass blades. In the shadows his grey and black markings don't look out of place, however a quarter of his 'body' was in the light. He listens to the conversation and stays quiet. It's'body' is shifted into a small area, not easily noticeable if you aren't looking for it.
Their small yellow-ish eyes are the only thing that could be seen as unnatural. They shift with the grass, actually like actual grass and not a shifter. -
Alanine is still furiously questioning Hazel, paranoid of where she comes from as she’s been raised to believe that Gor is the center of the universe and that everywhere else is dead and lifeless. She wants to find out the whole truth about the universe, and right now things are making no sense. Then she stormed into the ship to check it out, still not noticing the creatures inside it.
The ship was lined with shiny metallic LED lights, which glowed and flashed in different colors. There were buttons everywhere, and on the control board there were at least 100 buttons, knobs, and levers, all of them in bright colors with no labels. -
Raina stayed where she was; in the dark corner. She sat back observing the things in front of her. The ship and its dials. The windows, that seemed to be in pristine condition. Even the floor was squeaky clean. It was hard to believe that there was life outside of their planet. She wondered if the person that had crash landed was like them, or were they different. It was something that only time would tell, and until she felt safe, she would stay right here.
-
He shifts into a fly and flies inside the ship. He buzzes about the roof, looking around at the weird architecture. It clambers onto the roof and stops as it sees the Tarnsmen inside the ship. It slowly follows the Tarnsmen, never actually seeing one this close before. He buzzes about slowly behind her.

Alanine turns around, seeing a glimpse of the fly.
“Hmm? What’s that?” she said, swatting at the air with no clue where the fly was. She decided to lean against a wall, not knowing that she was nearly right on top of Raina. -
Raina swiftly slightly upward, gazing at Alanine. She wondered what happened to the ship, to cause it to crash here. She felt her heart race in her chest. Maybe she should shift into her natural form, but even then she wasn't sure she would be in a safe spot with the Tarnsman being on the ship. She observed Alanine and Hazel, then moved to a safer open spot. She then shifted into her normal form, unsure of what reaction would be garnered.
