IS THIS THE NATURE OF SHAPE SHIFTING?
A strange new form of matter discovered in the universe this week confirms what SOS readers have long known, there is more to heaven and earth than dreamt of in your philosophy…
Science has discovered a new type of matter they are calling “Strange Matter” at the heart of a neutron star.
It appears to be a liquid form of compressed subatomic particles, even more dense than dark matter.
This discovery means that ordinary matter can be squeezed so intensely that it forms an entirely new, unstudied kind of matter, confirms Dr. Pedro Moraes of Brazil who helped discover it this week.
The new form of matter is entirely unstudied and its properties still unknown, but it could just look just like ordinary matter and have the ability to form physical objects, scientists speculate.
Here at SOS we wonder could this explain the nature of shape shifters?
And if so, at the considerable risk of alienating the shiftiest survivors lurking here on the pages – on under desk or in my closet for all I know! – will they have to stop calling themselves SUPER-natural?
Keep on keeping on to find out.

*TL sits on a street corner in newyork city, he is wereing nothing but rags, much different than his black WW2esque trench coat that had become his signituee look… On closer inspection one could see the rags he wore now were indeed rimanants of his beloved coat… In one hand he held a sign that said, THE END IS NEAR! In the other, a hot cup of coffee… A busy man with a three peice suit walks by and tossed a quarter into his coffee cup as he continued on his way talking to someone on his Bluetooth…*
*sigh* Great… *he pours his coffee out onto the ground, splashing it onto a lady’s shoes, who then kicks him…*
This… This is why I brought the storm all those years ago…
Why dosen’t anyone take my sign seriously!
TL
Perhaps because the end has already come and gone, and no one was the wiser *I stand a few feet down the sidewalk looking at TL impassively. I’m dressed in normal jeans and a black sweater.* I have a message for your mother TL, I was hoping you’d be so kind as to deliver it.
*TL looks at ice with a puzzled look*
My mother!
Ice…
I just survived the explosion of a voidship at my mothers hands…
She sits idly by while the cycle continues to destroy her world…
She continues to turn a blind eye to it…
I couldn’t sit by and watch it happen so I constructed a voidship from my ark…
My plan was simple, I knew I wouldn’t be able to stop it, but mabye I could fix the pestilence it left in its wake…
My mother…
My mother crushed my ship and the resulting explosion tore a hole in space time…
I only just barly made it to earth, I don’t even know the date I ended up in!
What’s worse is I still don’t know where Penelope is, she could be a million years and a million miles away from me!
And you Ice want me to deliver a letter to that woman!
TL
*I raise an eyebrow* I’ve spent the last few months jumping from different dimensions after getting mortally wounded by the woman I once loved. I don’t particularly care about your little problems, I just need a message delivered. Either you deliver it for me or we can both take a lovely trip to a lifeless plane of existence, unfortunately for you it will be a one way trip.
Reaper appears behind them, wearing modern clothing. A dark hoodie, a pair of black sweats, and a pair of black sneakers. “The void has ended… I feel it in my bones… TL… Tell me what happened…before I tie you to 4 different horses and rip you apart for eternity…”
You…
You have some nerve talking to me like that…
After I tried to save the void!
*TL stands up looking quite cross with reaper*
Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you…
Last I saw you, you were with Lilith in the glass room…
And Ice you were in the forest with an agent of Lilith!
Just when my plan was finally going smoothly, my ship gets totaled and I end up here…
Now, from my point of veiw you, ice and others have just been obsticles in my path to save the void from day one…
Never, ever try to guess my intentions…
I’ve been chased up and down by reaper corps and Lilith’s goons and I’m not I the mood to deal with either of you!
Well then, the cycle has finaly finished off the void, you happy now?
*sarcasticly*
Hmm…
I wonder where it will go next…
TL
*I roll my eyes* I don’t have time for this. *I point my finger at TL* I curse you, until you deliver my message to Lilith you shall feel an itch. It will annoy you and pester you at all times drawing you towards Lilith. Once you deliver the message the itch will cease and you will be free. *I toss TL a small vile filled with red liquid.* tell Lilith to analyze this. I think she will find it to be most… Interesting. *without farewell I turn and walk away my body folding in on itself until I disappear*
*TL smashes the vile onto the ground*
I could really…
Really…
Care less…
TL
How funny that one who many consider an annoyance uses curses of annoyances.
And so the narcissist arrives…
@ Hatter
*an airship that looks like a cross between the ark a blimp and a dragon flies over the group and a black top hat falls out of the ship and hatter rises out of the hat putting it on after stepping out* uhm actually i patched up the hole but the void dimension is gone it’s actually become a bit like i theorized the void being the spaces between realms and dimensions now noah sorry about the remodel of your ark but I got permission from one of your aspects known as ordo Maas. So I technically got your permission. I call it the bronze dragon because I liked the original colour, oh and can you please throw my hat back up to the bronze dragon?
*TL chuckles then smiles at hatter, he the procedes to violently rush him into an a dark street corner*
We are in the middle of newyork city!
What made you think pulling this kind of entrance was a good idea?!
*He let’s go of hatter and sighs*
The void being completely gone isn’t something to be happy about…
In fact it makes things worse…
The cycle could be anywhere now, you know things such as itself don’t simply dissapear…
At least we knew where it was before…
I want you to survey the known realms for the cycle, and I want this blimp out of here, the humans hae enough to worry about right now…
*TL looks at his watch*
You have thirty second to make yourself dissapear…
TL
Well I can’t exactly fly, so can you throw my hat back onto the blimp? Oh and I got the designs from Jules Verne so it’s practically invisible to those who don’t believe it’s there so according to everyone who wasn’t aboard the ark can’t see it if I honked the horn and started screaming in german. But please come along.
*TL’s eyes flash with lightning and rage as hatter’s top hat is thrown violently onto the airship with a bolt of lightning, his eyes continue to cackle with electricity and anger for a while before calming down*
*sigh*
I guess I have no choice given Penelope is in some random point in time space, and her being my only source of transportation…
I’ll go with you…
TL
*i take Noah’s hand as i appear back in my hat* so you want to do the exact thing I have done since 1715, but starting in New York 2015 January 16th ok. You know how to steal this thing I hope. *i watch as the lighting in Noah’s eyes stops* good you saw sense because people can track electricity so those little bolts in your eyes were like breaking into a reaper corps facility so you really have better take control of your emotions or *i take some scissors and cut imaginary ropes causing noah to fall to the ground* you’ll be a puppet all your life
Stear*
*TL’s eyes turn emotionless as he takes out his tin man heart*
I can control my emotions just fine without this heart, in fact I lack them entirely…
I can be anything you want, is this what you want?
TL
No I just meant that because of the aspect of lilith you came from when your angry it’s like taking a multiverse megaphone and stating exactly where you are to every available reaper, for example floating in a blimp right next to the planet Hollywood building chatting about the end of the universe as clockwork men invade reaper corps HQ. But that doesn’t mean you should be as emotionless as an actual puppet, in fact I’m just saying to try to keep from getting pissed off
No no no noah I just want you not to get pissed off, people could track you and find us
*Hatter’s Cellphone rings urgently interrupting his and Noah’s conversation*
*TL puts his heart back in as his eyes become normal again*
Well if that’s settled, let’s get going…
*TL takes the wheel of the air ship and sets sail for the known realms*
Hmm…
Something’s missing…
Oh yeah, you wouldn’t happen to have a captain’s hat would you?
TL
I would indeed, and a plague doctor mask. *i place both objects on noah and his trench coat mends itself* yup, that is still awesome. Even after 300 years, *i take out my cellphone and answer it* yeah Haley? Oh and how did you get this number?
Don’t worry about that right now. I need to know what you and/or Noah broke and how to fix it. fast. like, a week ago fast.
Ugh, me and noah Didn’t break anything we just blew up the location of a scary thing that can’t be killed. It’s nothing big but noah has a way to stop it, goodbye *i hang up* so noah where are we right now?
*TL’s eyes flash with lightning as hatter’s phone become charged with energy, he begins speaking to Haley while still steering the ship*
Haley…
Nice to hear from you…
Talking about a daemon behind his back is not recomended…
In any case, I can assure you I’VE broke nothing, I can’t speak for hatter though of course…
That’s all…
Bye…
*the electricty in hatter’s phone calms down as noah smirks*
TL
*i turn off my phone* did you have to hijack my call? Because that was rude, anyway do you like the mask or was it a bit much? I just don’t want the reaper corps. To recognize you in case they have your face on file. Anyway where are we going first?
Yes, of course I had to!
Do you know how dangerous talking on the phone while driving is?
But yes, I quite like the mask, good thinking…
*The ship appears to be flying over the Pacific Ocean, if you look closely, mirage like ripples of another world can be seen*
If there is one good thing about the void being gone, is that now all the realms share a border, and if you know where these borders are…
*The ship passes through the mirage and hatter and TL appear over the sky’s of wonderland*
You can step right through…
Welcome home hatter…
TL
Noah, did you know that the ruling monarch in wonderland – the queen of hearts – is none other than lilith herself? You literally couldn’t have picked a worse realm to go to, heck *i pull out a map and hand it to noah* take us to the place on that map if your gonna be that careless, oh and yes it is written in apple juice. From the same Apple your aunt Eve bit. The map was written by Merlin himself.
…mmm tasty Apple juice map…but will it be reliable? Considering the source…
Seth, keeping on.
*noah roles up the map*
Hatter, Im going to be honest with you…
I believe my mother in in league with the cycle…
After all I’ve seen, I belive reaper, mutt and ice are in on it as well, you are the only person I can trust…
*noah points to the kingdoms of diamonds, clubs, and spades, they are all in ruin, only the kingdom of hearts remains standing*
That enough proof for you?
TL
*after the crackling of electricity cuts off Haley sighs then glares at her phone* Great, it’s fried. I also still have NO help, just lovely. *Haley’s eyes alight with a sudden idea* Oh, I am so going to regret this later.
Ok so you want to stay away from the reaper Corps. By going into the hand of cards known as the kingdom of hearts which contains an aspect of another person we are trying to stay away from lilith, ok. Back when the Jack of hearts was around he spent a few nights with me. His clothes should fit you if I know my equivalents well enough. The queen has a passive-agressive relationship with him and I already am in my wonderland attire so if we are going to stop here to do anything we should go to my place first
*TL gets a sudden head ache of confusion after looking down into the realm*
Sure thing hatter, I’m going to let you take the lead on this one, I’m already having trouble making sense of this realm… Everything seems to shift and change on a whim and it’s giving me a massive migraine… I imagine this world tends to have that effect on people…
*noah lands the ship gently over hatter’s place*
Let’s get to it shall we….
TL
Ok let’s go *i walk to the front of the ark stand on the dragons head and face noah completing a backflip landing in my chimney* ok where did I put jack’s clothes?
Auf wiedersehen.
Ah look! Everyone is here, ja? The Mutt und his loyal dog!
-he appears and claps condescendingly, wearing a typical business suit-
