We just started a space opera game. One player is running a Fex -- basically a catman. This player also missed the first game, so the party planner didn't have notes on the character yet.

Player 3: (before Player 2 can answer) Balls of yarn, laser pointers ...
Player 4: Balls of paper ...

Bernie: That would be a good indication of why [the shapeshifters] chose this world to hide out on.
