one more quick post before bed.
I get that shifters are mimics and whatnot, but after it shifts the final time Sam says that it could be anyone and Dean says something along the lines of all the people being out of the building and he sounded relieved in that it couldn't mimic any of them once they were out of the building. so i guess i just mean, what does the shifter have to do to mimic another person? be in close proximity? touch them? what?
now i'm really leaving. nighty nite!
AmyLiz, I edited the line in.
I kinda like Supernatural 2: You don't know crap about my Dad.

Yess!
tiggy, it depends on the legend. Morphing into animals (most cultures--including HP, animorphs--have this legend in some form or another) is done at will. Often morphing into a new human form is done at will, too. All that's needed is a clear mental image of the new shape, which could be someone who exists, or just some random person.
SPN's shapeshifter evidently has to be in close proximity, and it prefers to kill its template.

Did you mean the animagus, from Harry Potter? Or the Animorphs books series?
I wrote two of those! So fun. Rachel morphed into a starfish and got cut in half in one, and I got to do cows and chimps, too, as well as all of the kids' favorite animals. The eagle was the most fun, because of the flying. That was a good gig.
Yay, Animorphs. It sounds like you had fun, and I'm sure those were the two best-written books of the series.
But yes, I did mean animagus.
why does she not jump on this instead
I suspect Madison's "OMG! I killed people, didn't I?" realization had a lot to do with it. And the fact that Sam didn't prove all that effective at keeping her locked up when actively trying.
Also, she changed two nights, took a night off, then changed on the fourth night. Which implies it can happen any night rather than just ones with a full moon.
Austin, a while back you were talking about LJ-- I'm the perkins person that just now friended you.
I am smonsterbite over on lj, if anyone wants to add.
