-----------------------------------------------
I ended up sleeping today until well past noon. I don't believe I had ever woken up so late before, but then again I had never really fallen asleep so late (well, at least not on a "regular" day anyway. The Animorphs have had missions during the night before and I have gone without sleep many times during my Andalite military training.) But when I woke up this morning I felt refreshed and renewed. A good long rest has a habit of doing that to you. I wasted no time in performing my morning ritual (since I was already considerably late in doing so) and just after I finished I heard Tobias call out to me in thought-speak.
[Hey Ax,] he said as he soared above me. I tried to find him with one of my stalk eyes, but I never had much luck doing so. If Tobias didn’t want you to see him then you simply did not see him. [I was getting worried about you,] he continued. [You're not the type to sleep in like that. Must have been a crazy night last night, huh?]
[Yes,] I said back, [it was quite crazy.] If only Tobias knew what I had really done. I sincerely wanted to tell him, and if he would've asked the right questions I would've, but I knew that it might not be the best thing to do. He wasn't supposed to know that I was mating at all let alone mating professionally. If he learned about what I had truly done last night then he would undoubtedly have some questions. And as I said before if he asked the right questions then I would not lie to him. I couldn't. He was my shorm. I'd rather cut off my own tail blade than lie to him. Even if it meant that I would never be able to mate again I still wouldn’t lie to him. It was simply better to avoid the issue all together.
[I'm sure it was,] Tobias said back with a laugh. [Find out anything interesting?]
[Yes,] I replied, [quite a few things. But there are still quite a few things that I need some more information on.]
[Well,] Tobias said back, [I've just finished eating and we have some time before it's our turn to go do some more surveillance, so I can probably help you sort a few things out.]
[That would be very helpful,] I said back to Tobias as I finally caught a glimpse of him in the sky. [That way I could spend less time in this part of the city and go on to observing other parts of human society. I cannot believe that I've gotten so behind on my observations.] I went over to my notes and pulled out the appropriate pages while Tobias landed in his usual spot inside my scoop.
He was very helpful indeed. I had some things right as usual, but I also had many things wrong or incomplete as well. I still needed to check and make sure the things Tobias told me were factual before I fully accepted them, but he seemed to be confident that he was correct about almost everything he said.
My most important question was still why were the people who lived in that part of the town “shady”? Tobias laughed when I explained my reasoning and quickly told me the height of the people living there had nothing to do with it. It was more about how they acted and what they did.
A person is considered “shady” when they’re dishonest, dubious, and decadent. Tobias estimated that the term “shady” came from the fact that these people would be sneaky and hide in the shade to fool you so that they could stab you in the back when they got the chance. He was quick to tell me that not everyone in that part of the city was this way, but there was an unusually high concentration of them there.
I was weary of accepting this claim outright as I had not seen anybody act in such a way. But then again I had only been there for one night. Even if they were more abundant that in other parts of the city they might still be fairly rare. Perhaps I would never actually see one of these people, but that didn’t mean they weren’t there. I would have some time from when I arrived at the city until I met the male I had mated with last night, so I would have to be on the lookout for Humans of a decadent nature.
The next important question I had was about the human social groups I had noticed. They were quite numerous, but I had no idea of their functions. It took awhile for Tobias to correlate what I was talking about to something he knew, but eventually he described something that I knew had to be the same thing. They were called “gangs” and Tobias advised me to stay away from them. When I asked him why he informed me that they were comprised of the shady people that we had discussed earlier. He also told me that they dealt with dangerous and illegal things like drugs, theft, and illegal distribution of those items. They were especially proficient at violence as well and used it to get what they wanted. Tobias went on to say that they were the reason that most people stayed at home during the night. No one who wasn’t involved in one of these gangs wanted to be a part of them, and those people were relatively secure inside their own homes. During the night was when most gang activity took place because it’s harder for the law enforcement to witness these crimes and to stop them.
Again I wasn’t very convinced that Tobias was very knowledgeable about the subject. I had seen these “gangs” acting perfectly normal and civil during both the day and the night. They never seemed to do much more than socialize with one another or occasionally socialize with another person or two. I hadn’t seen anything that would’ve implied to me that they were doing something illegal. In fact, they looked like a lot of the other Human social groups that I had witnessed. They sort of reminded me of a group called “The Boy Scouts” although these gangs didn’t seem to enjoy taking trips out into the wilderness as much.
In fact, I had only ever seen one act of violence while observing the shady side of town and it was a minor one at that. I didn’t see what started it, but I noticed that two males were having a disagreement about something. It slowly escalated until one of them tackled the other one and they began to wrestle. They both struggled for a short amount of time before one of them managed to get a hold of what Humans call a gun. He didn’t need to use it though since the other male ran off shortly after seeing it, but that was the only time I had ever seen someone even threaten to use any kind of weapon in the shady side of town. From what I had witnessed the people in that part of town just liked to socialize.
The last thing I asked Tobias about was why anyone would live there. I could clearly see that the standard of living for most of the residents was quite a bit lower than other parts of town. And if what Tobias was telling me was at least somewhat true, or if even the majority of the people believed it to be true, than why did they insist on continuing to live there?
Tobias said to me that it was complicated, but most of the people didn’t have any choice. I asked him if the government forced people to live there (perhaps they concentrated all the shady individuals there on purpose to keep them away from non-shady citizens), but he said that it wasn’t the case. People lived there because they didn’t have much money and that part of town was the only place many people could afford to live. People paid less to live in worse environments and the shady side of town happened to be one of the worst.
This did make sense to me at least. This was one of the drawbacks to using the financial system that the Humans used. Some people got more of the money and some people got less. I never understood why the Humans could be happy with a system like this. Everybody deserves to have the same standard of living as long as they continue to do some sort of work to benefit society. Otherwise places like the shady side of town start to arise when hard working decent people have to live is sub-standard accommodations.
But anyway, after we finished talking about a few more smaller things it was finally time for us to go relieve Rachel and Cassie. I had been close to mentioning professional maters many times, but I had always rejected the idea. There were too many potential risks involved with even mentioning them.
The entire time Tobias and I were keeping surveillance of the suspected Yeerk building absolutely nothing exciting happened. No one had gone in or out and the artificial lighting in the building remained off the entire time. It was incredibly boring to fly there the entire time and just think about what was going to happen tonight. Tobias and I made some small talk about this and that, but I could tell that he was just as bored as I was. Needless to say that when we saw Jake and Marco coming in to relieve us we were both ecstatic. Tobias quickly went back to his meadow to catch some food (he was getting quite hungry by this point) and I quickly made my way back to my scoop.
I had some time to prepare before it began to get dark so I used the time wisely. I went back to watching “The Playboy Channel” to see if I could learn anything about mating with more than one male at once. I had seen it preformed many times by two or even three males with one female, and sometimes even more! I wasn’t sure what to expect and I didn’t know how many friends he was going to bring so I figured that I’d be prepared for just about anything.
I already had extensive notes on the subject, but there were so many different combinations that I simply could not have adequate notes on all of them. To repeat everything I knew here would be redundant, but to sum everything up there were a lot of different things to be tried with more than one male and I was willing to try almost all of them. This was going to be one crazy night.
I left myself enough time so that I could write all of this down before I left as well. I would probably be learning quite a bit tonight so I wanted to get everything else out of my mind so I would not have to remember it. That way I could store even more information about what happens tonight. I expect to write an entry when I return just to make sure everything is still fresh in my mind. As for now the sun has all but disappeared and I am almost ready to leave. Last night I learned many things, but tonight I hope to learn many more.
