Thanks. Cleaning house at moment, can't write now. New Idea in head for twist. Adios!
EDIT: MORE NOW
Dante scowled. "I can't believe you're going to try this." "But Dave showed the bridge was in the water. Colin has to save us" PJ said. Derik nodded. "I just wish there was something he can hold onto." Ennui walked over. He took off a small wristband. "Here. You know what it is." Derik caught it in midair. It was Ennui's metal charm, that would shift into any shape it was needed to. Akbar also gave them something. It was his sward that also changed shape. The rest of them had the animal communication stones. Or at least that was what they thought they were. "I still can't believe you're not using my stones. I mean, fine, you're using my other trinkets, but those stones will get at least half of us across." All of a sudden, Derik put a hand up, telling the rest to be silent. "Colin just asked why Ghost can't carry him part way across. Why can't she? Why can't the other owls? Why not ALL the owls?" "Hey, that's right. That way we won't have to throw him across" Celinra stated. She could have swarn she saw Colin shudder. It was probably just her candle's light. "Arty can't, he's too small and he's missing a wing. But I bet Ghost, and Bolvig, and Sapphire's barn owl can." "I can't believe you didn't remember his name." "I forgot, sorry." "We don't have time! I still say they use the stones. They're not just for Human-animal conversation, you know!" Amber's eyes grew. "What do you mean, not just for communication?" "Think about an animal that can get through the dark. Think only of that animal. You'll see." Amber shrugged at the three other girls. They each closed their eyes and started to think, hard. And then, the transformation happened.

Trish glared at the chanting Char and Kimia. They still didn't stop protesting the owl doo stew. Trish started to glare at BSam instead. "You really think you'll get it this time?" "Why not?" he replied, bent over the stove. "PJ's left, so I should be cook." "Mm-hm, and Tragedy would really allow that?" "UM, well, he's sick, so I can't say." "WHAT? TRAGEDY'S SICK?" "Mm-hm, got the bug." "Oh no." Kimia and Char had stopped chanting. Everyone else in the kitchens looked over at them, and started to whisper to each other. What were they going to do? Normally when this sort of happens, one or both of two things can occur, one good, one bad. The first is support for the ill one, and the entire place bans togeather to prevent anything worse. THe second is rebellion, starting with some power-hungary individual who wants the place of power for him- or herself. Now, as you know, this happens even in the most peaceful places, such as Hogwars School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, when a certain frog-faced woman came to teach there. And it could just as well happen again. So, this could just as well take place at 667 Dark Avenue. And it did.

Well, I'm back! Ate some fish, swam every day, good times for everyone. I even brought along my journal and wrote some more of the story. Let's continue, shall we?
When Amber opened her eyes, she was a deer. How.... Dante raised his eyebrows with an "I told you so" look on his face. Get rid of those stupid lights. They'll blind me- and her. Rember, deer get paralyzid when looking directly at the light? A new barn owl was there, swooping at the torches. She then flew onto a short ledge. After looking closer, the non-shapeshifters realized it was Dismay, by using a few distinguishing marks. She started to preen her wings with a happy look on her face. I've always wanted these. A moment later, everyone heard two squwaks. Celinra and Sapphire had had the same idea, they turned into bats. Dismay closed her eyes again, changing from one shape to the next, her body blurred within each shape. The others did the same. They loved their new ability. (Who wouldn't?).

OK, ready for more story.
Dismay, a Barn owl again, flew up to the ceiling, obviously seeing something the others did not. HELP! I FOUND SOMETHING!. Sapphire, a burrowing owl, flew up and picked up what Dismay, a larger owl, could not reach. It was a rope. A long one. It had been recently used, too. The two owls looked at each other. SetnicK!, they both said. Dismay fluidly turned human again, the rope in hand. "Hey Ennui, think you can help?" "Sure, but I'm not sure how" he responded. "Reinforce your rope with your metal thing. Dante, what do you call it? You created it." "Oh, I don't know." "I don't know how to change it." "Sure you do. Do what we did" she smiled an enlightened smile. Ennui tried it, and it worked. He then tossed the rope across. All the people without the ability to change pulled themselves across the rope. The others flew. Dismay and Ghost met up. They talked in barn owl speech, about what she had seen. Dismay shifted again. "Ghost heard water. We're near a large source of water the cave ends soon." Pandora sighed with relief. they would be out, and soon.
- - - - - - - - - - - Orangytwixet and orchid13 were talking, about being not involved in the larger 667 community. Yet recently, one of them picked up a story in CC. And they were in it! As the good guys! The author's mark was simple, and unknown. A paw and talon, the small pawmark inside of the talon. A new insignia for a not-so-old member.
It was in CC that the meeting was held. Most of the more esteemed members tended to gather there. Ron Weasly was there, so were Vortigun, straight from Horrible Harry Potter, and Kimia and Char. Everyone there wanted their esteemed leader to get well again, and were willing to create temporary leaders. And then, in Menacing Miscellaneous, another meeting started.
"Out with Tragedy!" "Let him die!" These mutinous called were heard throughout the hall. IT was a large hall, with many stalls, in which people sat in nice chairs and talked. Mostly about random things, but this one was serious. It should have gone to Disturbing Discussion, down the hall. A new leader had been found, someone new, from a new age of spamming, cheat codes, and curses. Their leader's name was different from many. It was DT. He had returned.

Good chapter; sorry I didn't see it earlier. I liked the inclusion of the semi-obscure people.

Thanks. Have you read the first one? It was better. I'm writing a few other stories at the moment. One that could be translated to 667 characters, and one that is 667, and many that are not. Just so you know- I'm not personally mutionous towards Tragedy or anything, I was his cousin's friend.
