But before he could get away again, she kicked at him, causing Dave to fall backwards and drop the necklace. Dave stood up and faced Clarissa, feeling...rather strange all of a sudden. It was as if a faint tingling was running over his body, and he wondered if he'd hit some sort of funny bone or something. Then Dave noticed that his sister was staring at him. "Your hair" she gasped. Dave wondered what about his hair, but he reflexively reached back to feel it. Much to his surprise, it seemed. Satisfied with his performance, he moved back into the house to clean up. This part was a little more tricky. Yes, he could wear the prosthetics, but even though they were water-repelling, repeated soaking would cause unneeded degradation.

What is she? Is she a strange one?"I smiled at Shanor. "No she is my new mother. She is one of us now."Shanor got a strange look in her eye. It was then that I remembered that Shanor was a bit strange.
