Hijacked CMC's accidental thread with something completely unrelated to the original topic, made a game based off of the name of the thread, I realized it would probably work out better if I used my own thread. Previous thread is as follows: Old Thread.

((Basically we will be following a vague plot similar to the actual movies "The Thing" and "The Thing" Goal is to get back to space or kill them all. We will be starting years before the first one, humans have yet to set foot in antarctica, current goal is to not freeze to death. You are very very very adaptable. Pure shapeshifter. Try not to die.))

A fireball streaks across the night sky. A seemingly endless expanse of white gleams in the moonlight.

The fireball suddenly curves downwards, smashing into the white expanse. A plume of ice shards and steam. A shockwave reverberates across the expanse.

Our flight pod is aflame. Our entire being screams in pain. Must escape the voices cry. The longer we stay here, the more we lose ourselves. Knowledge burning away. Quickly with haste we must leave.

Inside the flaming capsule, a fleshy blob shifts. Charred and dead flesh is shed as appendages begin erupting from the creature's flesh as it rapidly begins building muscles across its fleshy form. The largest of the appendages warp and bend the pod, splitting it slightly. A rush of frigid air blasts against the creature, it trembles, reflexively using its newly formed muscles to conserve heat. It realizes not only is it too hot, but also part of it is too cold.

The heat Burns just as much as the Cold. We must survive.

((It is possible to adapt to the environment. You are a pure shapeshifter. Remember how The Thing in the movies managed to survive buried in the ice for such a long time? I will not hesitate to kill you if you fail to adapt to a situation.))
