WhIGmI? Episode 3: "Don't expect me to always come up with witty titles for these... m'kay?

"Ry..."

"What is it AJ?"

"Aren't you supposed to be packing for your trip?"

Ryan gave his feline-morph identity an odd look, "Yes... So?"

"Then what in the Great Spirit's name are you UP to?"

"Just an experiment..." Ryan answered, returning his attention to his computer. "I'm just defining the characteristics of my characters into a two classes..."

"Oh...." AJ paused to think, "Why?"

Ryan motioned to the plushies of lifeless RPG-characters laying on the floor. "I'm trying to clean up the clutter of my recent gaming streak, and this idea has been bothering me for a long time..."

"So you plan to merge all your chracters into one just to keep tabs on everyone?"

"Yes."

AJ winced. "Ow."

Ryan chuckled in spite of himself, "It's not like it's not been done before, AJ... You are already several characters all at once."

The Cheetah-morph smecked himself on his snouted face, "That's right... StarWars, StarFox, MegamanX... And you're gonna add MORE?" AJ shuddered.

"It's not like it's not going to affect me, AJ, old friend... I just want to get this done and over with so I don't have to trip on everyone... And can you please get Mout in here, too?"

"Okay..."

Ryan looked at the two character classes he defined... based on his two oldest characters. AJ and Mout...

Cat-Class: (Not all are cats...) Often has no living family when introduced. Had been involved in a terrible event that either killed this character, or brought him close to death. Has been altered or brought back to life through biotechnology or genetic manipulation. Often a loner, but does not complain about working in groups. Natural born fighter.

Dragon-Class: (Not all are Dragons...) Has living family when introduced. Is either married, betrothed, or widow-ered. Naturally dark past and is typically overpowered. Goes berserk or has a berserk mode. Can Shapeshift.

Before Ryan could finish typing... the comp died.

------------

"ARGH!!!!"

A cry rang from Ryan's Study.

Mout and AJ winced.

"Lemme guess," Mout murmured crushing his diet coke can, "Ryan's comp crashed again."

"Sounds like it..."

"Doesn't Ryan know that the blog-ring he joined has a post-recover feature?"

"It does?" AJ asked...

"WAIT... NEVERMIND!" Ryan shouted, " I fixed it!"

"... Well... he knows now..." Mout chuckled, "What'd I tell ya? Being directly linked to Ryan has it's benefits..."

"How are you linked to Ryan like that? I though only Ceph was..." AJ looked confused, which seemed unusually out of character for him, "You already..."

"Merged. Ryan kinda got tired seeing Ceph's empty armor laying around on the study's floor after an RP and so he gave me Ceph as a new form. A truly humanoid body isn't so bad after all... And I've been using my new GX form alot too..."

"GX?"

"Don't ask..." Ryan's voice spoke behind them. AJ turned around to see Ryan hand him two plushies: A black furred lion, and a black panther in a karate uniform.

"You know what to do, AJ... I have to help Kari pack Kato's stuff now..." And Ryan walked into his bedroom.

AJ felt awkward holding the two plushies. Mout was stifling his laughter...

The cat-morph looked the mechanical dragon-lizard in the eye, "Come to think of it... Doesn't GX fall under MY class?"

Mout stopped chuckling, "I never asked Ry--"

AJ stuffed the blackfurred lion plushie in Mout's face before Mout could finish the answer. "Wanna Trade?!"
