jig.

Jig was lonely. Well..it assumed that was what it was feeling could be called. It had been away from its last partner, a lovely gray female feline titled Smudge. She had been interesting and cute; or at least that was what it had heard about her from other who knew her.

Jig floated around, just floating aimlessly. Normally it might take the form of a tree, but it would be limited in thought if it went to that. Jig had to use all of its restraint just to not shift to a mindless tree. It hoped it would meet an interesting creature soon; one that was in need of its help.

There was a soft but audible sound of footsteps. In the Animal Kingdom it was slightly harder than usual to keep quiet, and having hard keratin hooves didn’t help matters one bit. Arabella stretched her head forward inquisitively, wondering what was close by; she could feel its presence, but she couldn’t quite place exactly what it was. She couldn’t see it, either. She wanted to call out, but something in her instincts told her no. Her horn shone with a slight luminescent light of its own, and while it was useful for navigation a lot of the time, she wished it didn’t glow now. She crept forward, still trying to find the creature, but she couldn’t see anything. Finally she decided to call out. “Um,” she said quietly, and then – more loudly – “Is anyone there?”

Jigs form shifted immediately as the creature stepped closer to it. It was glad that it would not be forced into something mindless like a tree, though it supposed it wouldn't mind once that had occurred. Now...to figure out what he was. A unicorn perhaps it thought. It now had some sort of glowing light above its eyes.

It's ears, yes thats what they were called, flicked forward as the unicorn spoke. Female. Jig supposed that it was female now. That she was a female unicorn now. "Um..." She stopped- the voice needed to be a bit higher, adjusted it, and continued- "Er...just me..." She made sure to step out in front of the shiny unicorn, copying her tentative steps to perfection.

As the other creature finally stepped into view, Arabella could not stop herself letting out a soft whinny of shock and amazement. The creature standing before her looked – well, exactly like her. Her deep violet eyes widened, staring into the other identical pair. Two silver manes and tails glowed in the slight dimness, and two semi-translucent light purple coats shone slightly. Another spirit unicorn. Identical to her.

Only the voice was different, she realized, jumping a little as it – she – spoke. It was lower at first, then higher. Mystified, Arabella couldn't really think of anything to say, except: "You – wait – are you me?"

Jig shook her.. head. She wasn't the creature, although she wasn't quite sure what exactly she was. Well,she wasn't the weird horned female. "Nope I am not you-I am just a female...what are you?- who looks like you." Jig spoke, rather bubbly.

"Any way, I'm assuming your form. You can call me Jig." Her voice was drawn out lazily, similar to the vocal patterns of a large cat. It could only be habit- she was not a cat of any such. Jig did spend quite a while with Smudge- chan; that might be the reason.

Arabella could only stand in astonishment, both frightened and intrigued by the other creature who looked exactly like her. Her voice was different, though – slightly more drawn out. She wondered why. If Arabella had still been alive, she would probably have fled by now, running away as fast as possible. Being dead, though, she didn't have much to lose.

She tossed her head, regarding Jig curiously. "Jig," she said, just to try the name out. "You are... assuming my form? I am a spirit unicorn," she added, to clarify. "But how can you do this?" she mused curiously.

Jig grinned, using the human saying, 'like a hyena'. "Cool. I've never been something dead before...Opps. That was rude, wasn't it?" Jig looked apologetic for a moment and decided to make up for her rudeness by answering the unicorn's question. " I'm a doppelganger, meaning I can take the form of whoever I desire." Great, now she had made it sound like she could choose who she turned into, instead of just changing to whatever high-level creatures walked by.

Arabella winced slightly, but she tried to hide her embarrassment. "It's alright," she said with an awkward laugh. "Being dead's actually not bad," she added. "I mean, you can't do the things you can do alive, but then you can do things like jump off cliffs without having to fear." She laughed. That's why I can talk to you without running off in fear!

"Cool!" she said, amazed, immediately misunderstanding Jig's statement. She felt flattered. "Really? Anyone you choose? And you chose me?" she said.
