Exp And Other Drugs

"Don't apologise" Amanda spoke into Intalru's mind as he sat there in a daze. "Could you at least loop me in to the conversation?" The Daphnaie glared at Amanda thinking she was whispering sweet nothings into Intalru's mind, trying to get a leg up on her for an emotional connection. "Wow you're pretty insecure for someone so beautiful.." Amanda said only letting the Daphnaie hear her. "I'm not insecure! I just don't like the idea you could be bad mouthing me with out being able to defend myself.." "Fine.. is this better?" linking the two into her conversation Amanda huffed mentally.

"Did we complete the test?" Intalru asked hoping to bring the conversation away from anything embarrassing before it really started. "No it didn't even truly start yet due to an interruption..." Amanda replied while looking towards the Daphnaie. "Didn't look like a test to me seemed more like you two were getting 'close'.." the Daphnaie replied with ire. ... "It really is part of the test.." Amanda defended herself and walked back to the toadstool circle before sitting down. "If you'll excuse me I really do need to finish this test.. it's a quest from one of my races God's.." Intalru explained to the Daphnaie while feeling slightly guilty. "Could you at least say my name?" "Appraise.."

A Daphnaie named Velma?? we just need a hound named Scooby..

"Sorry Velma.. Do you mind if we continue now?" the Daphnaie gave a wry smile before nodding her head and sitting down. "Go ahead but I'm gonna watch you two carefully.."

Intalru nodded and went to join Amanda in the circle. "Shall we?" "Take a deep breath.." Amanda replied as once again she released her spores. The other Myconid decided to watch this time in case Velma went crazy for some reason. As Intalru took in the spores his world shifted again and this time they were sitting in his Tiburon at what appeared to be a drive in movie theater With Amanda Bynes in the passenger seat.. "Why are we.." "You picked this place subconsciously!" Amanda replied a little too quickly "Now show me something interesting." "Umm scary, funny, or action?" Intalru asked eliciting a strange look from Amanda. "Huh?" "They're movie genres from my old world I'll let you pick the genre." Intalru replied to her confused stare. "I like funny.." Amanda seemed a little uncomfortable with being given a choice but picked anyways. "I'm not uncomfortable.. I just wasn't expecting your old world to have so many choices" Right mind reader.. "I heard that!" "Ahem anyways I got a lot of comedies so let's go with a classic.." "I can still hear you guys! Nothing romantic if I can't see it!" Oh sh!t.. Didn't know Velma was involved too, that was close I almost picked what a girl wants so Amanda could see herself acting. "I can wait to see that.." "See what!? what are you two doing in there?!?" Velma screamed through the mind link. "If you don't quiet down I swear I'll make you think you're on fire!" Amanda seemed miffed about the constant interruptions.. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to bridge three different species together mentally?! I have a headache already.." ""Sorry"" Velma and Intalru replied at the same time.. "Step in the circle and join us if you're going to be this nosy." Suddenly Velma appeared in the back seat looking just like a young Sarah Michelle Geller.. "Why do I look like this?" "Because that's who you remind Intalru of from his past life.." "Past life?" "We can explain later pick the movie.." Amanda was definitely getting ill with the interruptions..

Intalru decided to get the movie rolling and suddenly the screen lit up. The three of them watched caddy shack and laughed through most of it. "I think I look better than that old prune of a softer.." 'Rodney' said surprising the three kids. """Why are you here??!""" the three shouted at the old mushroom in his human form. "You sounded like you were having fun, so I figured I could watch too." Mr Dangerfield in the flesh.. spore.. whatever.. "I do like that name though.. Amanda I have decided whenever other races visit that is what I am to be called." "Sure whatever Gramps.. how long have we been in trance?" "bout an hour and a half.. six and a half to go." Rodney answered and seemed to forget what he was talking about prior.. To the point I like! Sh!t my bad Rodney.. Amanda blushed and Mr Dangerfield shook his head as Velma shouted "I can be to the point! what about me?" "Your very cute Velma.." Velma started blushing and twirling her hair with her finger, looks like she's weak to praise.. "When we finish the test I'm going to see if we can teach you the 'Mind block' Skill.." Amanda must be.. nevermind! ""Must be what?"" both girls ask. "Nothing! Next movie is starting now!! Please remain quiet during the show." The projector screen blinked on and off before Up in smoke started playing... "Why are they burning those flowers!!" Velma didn't realize they were smoking pot until halfway through the movie and started eyeing me carefully.. Uh oh..

"Umm if you inhale the smoke from cannabis it helps you relax and calms you down while making you feel more creative and happy?" ... "Did you only say my flowers were pretty to smoke them? Don't lie to me.." "Your flowers are pretty and they smell amazing compared to other plants.. but I did plan on smoking them as well.." Velma disappeared from the car.. "Did I F*ck up? I wasn't going to lie to her.." "She seems conflicted. she left the circle and the mind link but she's still watching us." Amanda replied somewhat cheerily. "I'll keep an eye on her.." Rodney left and now it's just me and my childhood crush in a car in the dark.. "Pervert.." Amanda said quietly into Intalru's mind. "I'm male sorry.. but just because I think something doesn't mean I'll do it!" Amanda glared at Intalru.. ".. Was that the wrong answer?" "There was no right answer.. but I understand that most species aren't like mine.. What are you going to do about Velma? she really has fallen for you and I'm sure it hurt her to know you're more interested in her plant than her actual body Dryads are pretty vain and Daphnaie are even more so.."

"Should we even be holding this conversation? I mean yeah she's beautiful I'm not gonna lie but I didn't know that when I helped her, she was a rare strain of cannabis but she was also a spirit that would have died if I didn't help.. I couldn't live with that on my conscience so I helped her, I even planned on making multiple trips for as long as it took because I felt it was the right thing to do, I wasn't trying to trick her.. I feel horrible now that I know she likes me like that, we don't even know each other! Relationsh.i.p.s should be built slowly.. what do you think I should do?" Intalru said while worrying about what to do. "For one I think you should learn how to talk inside your head.." Amanda replied. F*ck did she hear all that?.. "Yep.. at least she looks a little less mad.. kinda embarrassed actually.." "Can I see her? I want to really explain to her and not like this.." Intalru asked hopefully "We will have to restart the ritual again.." "I'll make it up to you.. I know some awesome movies that your people can watch for ages.. and I also remember a lot of really good T.V. shows that they would like." "Take the deal!!" Rodney burst into our conversation and the world fell apart..

"I heard it all already.." Velma looked like she was about to cry.. "That just the short of it.. Is there anywhere to two of us can talk in private?" Intalru asked Rodney. "Yeah just keep walking that way until you reach the end of the Glow moss, I'll keep my granddaughter nearby so she can't eavesdrop on you two." Rodney said as he pointed to the far end of the cavern while grasping Amanda before she could run. "Let them settle things peacefully will ya? Me and you need to talk.." Stern Rodney is kinda scary.. "I need to talk to you too.. but I'll wait for now." Ooph "Yes sir" Intalru grasped Velma's hand and ran to the 'Safe zone' so they could talk.. "You don't have to hold my hand, I know we're not lovers.." Velma said with out the usual haughty tone. Intalru let go as they reached the spot. "Can you take a good look at me?" Intalru asked Velma since she hasn't looked up from the ground since she left the illusion. As Velma looked up Intalru smiled politely. "Describe me." Was all he said after she finally locked eyes with him. "Kind.." "That's all you got right? Really take a good look at me.. I know I'm ugly I'm a freaking lizard for God's sake, Red eyes, sharp teeth, scaly skin, horns for hair, sharp claws for fingers.." Intalru grew depressed as he described himself.. "Now look at you! Smooth skin, cute nose, pretty eyes, gorgeous hair, beautiful smile.. could you honestly see yourself waking up next to me? spending the rest of our lives together? we haven't even 'known' each other for a day. I helped you because I knew you were special, not so you would fall in love with me.. If you want we can be friends for now, and if it grows into something more I won't complain one bit. I would be stupid to do so." After Intalru finished ranting Velma kept looking into his eyes. "Why did you only compliment my face? Did you even properly look at me?" Velma said as she stuck her c.h.e.s.t out more...

"Velma.." "Yes?" "You know you're extremely attractive, it's rude for men to describe a woman's body, but fine.. You have s.e.xy legs, and a killer b.u.t.t, I prefer b.r.e.a.s.ts on the small and perky side but your's are very nice too.. But all of that it besides the point!!! we don't even know each other!" "Wait mine are actually smaller than this! I thought you would like bigger!" As Velma retorted her birch shirt slimmed down showing her true form.. "You aren't listening to me are you?..." Intalru was going crazy. Why is this even happening!! "Velma would you like to be my friend? Yes or no.." "..Yes" "Great! now we need to talk seriously..."

Thirty minutes later Intalru and Velma walked back towards Amanda and Rodney. Intalru had a slight smile and Velma seemed to have calmed down.. "What happened?" Amanda spoke into Velma's mind without bridging Intalru in. (He wants to take things slow..) was Velma's internal reply. "Sooo you're 'together'?" (As friends.. for now)

"We need to talk.." Rodney stated and dragged Intalru away "I didn't touch her I swear!" Intalru said after they reached a safe distance from the girls. "I know kid and I'm not mad at you either.. look her dad died during a war with the 'red caps' and her mother passed long before that, 'Amanda' never really fit in with the rest of our circle can you guess why?" Rodney seemed pained to bring this up.. "Yes I'm pained.. I adopted her mother when she was just a sprout.. She was all alone and the only one in our tribe who even talked to her was Amanda's father. Amanda just so happened to take after her mother making her a different race of Myconid than the rest of us.. She isn't a 'red cap' but she isn't one of ours either.. You're the first person to make her laugh or smile since her dad died.." Uh oh is this the 'Take her with you to see the world talk'? "Good to know you catch on quick kid.. I don't have much longer and I don't want her to be alone down here.. it's bad enough we have to live in this dark and dreary cave but at least we can meld to get away from it all, the others will abandon her to her own with out me.. So I need you to show her something that will make her want to leave."

"You trust me?" Intalru asked. "I can read more than surface thoughts kid, your destined for greatness and I know you won't hurt her.. so take her with you when the test is over." "She'll figure out the plan the second she connects to my mind again.." "No she won't.." Before Intalru could ask why his brain felt like it was on fire and the sound of styrofoam being rubbed together echoed in his mind. "Huh.. to think that the 'red cap' mind assault was just really annoying is strange.. Anyways focus your mind until you can't hear me anymore, you should get a skill notification soon enough.. or you'll go mad either way we won't be able to read your mind without consent." Minutes that felt like hours passed until Ding! Ding! Passive skill 'Mentally sound' has reached level 1 Passive skill. The noise lightened up for a second "Let's bring it up to five just to be safe.." Intalru was about to ask Rodney what he meant before a ambulance siren went off in his head... "humans used that to save lives? Funny.. I was mimicking a three headed bird chimera." Ding! 'Mentally sound' has reached level 2.. every time the passive skill leveled up Rodney would pick a new noise and state how it was strange that all of these monster noises and skills were used on earth. After listening to the old AOL internet dial tone for what felt like an eternity... Ding! 'Mentally sound' has reached level 5 the skill has advanced to Passive skill 'Mind barrier' And the noise is gone! Thank Asgorath!! "Now you can hear us but we can't hear your thoughts unless you will it.. Just don't hurt my grandchild or I will haunt your scaly *ss.." Rodney said with a menacing tone. "Yes sir!" Intalru replied before the two went to find Amanda and Velma..
