《Parrotise》8 - Arresting himself to escape
Advertisement
After sending Dr. Ratine on his way, the strange man returned to Dr. Ratine’s former cell and… locked himself inside it?!!?
“Hello class 12s,” he said with a slight smile on his face.
“Hi?” Sally raised an eyebrow somewhat confused. “Who are you?”
“Torra,” he grinned, as if he was proud of it.
What the f***? The trio thought simultaneously.
“Why on earth did you put yourself behind the bars?” Old Wayfinder asked.
“It is meaningless to escape if I don’t do it in a style that will prove that I am truly Torra.”
“So… you released the dude that was mistakenly captured as you… and put yourself in prison… so you could escape in style?” Sally asked.
“Yes,” Torra nodded.
Sally turned to look at the old man and Old Wayfinder who were also a bit confused. This guy was so… extra?
…
After she was done savoring her Toblerone, Captain Wayfinder brought some over to the class 12s. Best to share it with those that helped her get it.
However when she walked into the class 12 area her eyes widened in shock as she stared at the unfamiliar face. Who? What? How? Where the hell was Dr. Ratine?!?!
“We finally meet, Captain Wayfinder,” the strange man said seriously, “I am Torra. The class 13 you’re chasing, Dr. Ratine really isn’t me. Like I told you on your computer after hacking into it.”
It seems like even the ever elusive Torra made mistakes like hiring bad actors to play him.
The people in class 10 and up all shared one trait, the ability to act normal. And the way this dude was acting all uptight, there was simply no way he was actually Torra. Dr. Ratine definitely fit the bill better.

Did he really think that escaping prison, putting someone random in his cell and having him claim that he was Torra was going to convince her that she got the wrong guy?
NO!
It convinced her that she had got the right one!
She swiped her card on the cell door and opened it.
“Ah, so you realize that the door is obsolete for me?” The strange man nodded in appreciation.
Captain Wayfinder walked up to him slowly. The two stood at the same height and she looked into his eyes. “Yeah, you’re just plain loony, not anything class 13 level.”
“What?”
“Oh, he didn’t tell you about the classes? That just proves you're not him even more. Come on, let’s go,” Captain Wayfinder firmly gripped him by his arm and dragged him out.
Class 12s: ???
Torra: ???
What the f***? The four of them thought simultaneously.
However, without revealing his surprise on his face, Torra turned his head to look at the class 12s and… winked.
So that was his escape plan? Realization dawned on the class 12s.
Arresting himself so that everyone will think he’s a fake! This is true genius!
If a normal person did that, the fake wouldn't be let out and would probably be heavily questioned. Since Torra is a class 13 though, Captain Wayfinder thinks that interviewing the "fake" will prove meaningless so she isn't even bothering to look up his identity and just assuming he's an actor!
…
Perched on my branch, for the first time in a long time, I was worried. I had no idea who this imposter was!
At that moment, the road to Parrotise got a lot more complicated. This person was almost definitely another like me… a class 13!

To Become a Troll: A Monster Evolution Story
Thrust into the supernatural world of the deep forest, Paul finds himself in a situation where he could find himself prey to pretty much every other creature and animal around. If he's to survive, he must shed his weak form to grow stronger and survive. But the forest is full of creatures beyond human understanding, that act without the need for food or shelter and that seem to exist for the sole purpose of dragging humans to the bottom of a murky river. Is it really possible to kill such creatures when your only strength is physical prowess? --- A monster evolution story based on Swedish creature mythology. The focus will overwhelmingly be on the progression of the main character and his slow increase in strength. Although many of the creatures are based on Swedish creature mythology, I have taken creative liberties in order to ensure that evolution lines and the such are in line with the usual. The main thought I had when going into this is that I want to delay the "meeting a human" section as much as possible. My plan is to get him to endgame levels of strength before even sniffing the possibility of seeing a human. Whether I'm actually able to do this remains to be seen, but I'm holding my thumbs! Also, I'm aware that there are other troll evolution stories, but this is unrelated to them. They can do their stuff and I'll do mine, but this is in no way related to any of them. That said, hope you enjoy it!
