"All right, cheese it is."

The biologist green says, "What could you digest without having to learn how? If anything."

Permalink

"I started with some digestive stuff from mom, but it was kinda just not in specific organs? So mom could put a nutrient thing in my tank when I was a baby." Talking with mom, then: "Mom says very basic sugars for babies. But babies don't grow more than a tiny bit until we figure out stomachs - I did that in a season and a half but it sometimes takes three seasons."

"In your tank?"

Permalink

"When I was really tiny I couldn't hold myself up well so I'd be in a tank with ocean water instead of a crib. And it's good for babies to be in water some."

Permalink

"Gosh! Do you remember being in your tank?"

Permalink

"Not really. But mom has lots of stories."

Permalink

"Aww, like what?"

Permalink

"Lots of them are about my dad too... He wasn't super good at 'babies bite' so got nibbled on some, or he'd be playing with me and he'd turn around and then we he turned back I'd turned into my toy. That's how mom and dad figured out I was good at shapeshifting."

"Awwww!" chorus Amentans.

The sandwiches arrive - one of the grey guards conveys it as far as the door, rather than expose the aliens to the delivery purple - and people pick their sandwiches and Nausicaa gets her deep fried cheese bites.

Permalink

Cheese is good! It tastes different than Earth cheese. She picks at the fried parts a bit but eats them anyways.

Permalink

"Would you like a sandwich?" the yellow asks Combing Sorrow. "I got plenty to go around."

Permalink

"I'm not hungry."

Permalink

"Okay!" Extra sandwiches go in the fridge. A green asks Bright Sorrow if she could draw them some pictures of other kinds of people - humans and deep ones and so on.

Permalink

Humans! Bright Sorrow is not the best artist and has to remind herself to not make everyone orange, but that's definitely an Amentan sort of shape, with black and brown and yellow and ginger hair. 

White Apes! They're kind of furry, pale humans.

Deep Ones! They're blue and green and sometimes a bit grey or brown, and they have big eyes and mouths and kind of look like humanoid frogs with fish faces. 

Mi-Go! These are kind of like golden-brown wasps with glowy blue faces.

Elder Things! These are scary, with five eyes and five tubes coming off their face and no hair and five tentacle-leg-arm-things at the bottom of their chest and five scaly wings. 

Yithians! They're kind of cone-shaped, with a head and two arms that're kind of tentacle-y.

Cthulhi! These are kind of like octopus humanoids.

She scribbles a few more, that mostly look really weird - commas with mouths, a kind of beetle-like species, a kind of crocodile-like species, an hunched humanoid with a dog-like face, a snail-like species with a bunch of tentacles, a humanoid race with a tail and horns and odd legs... These they've just seen pictures of or heard about, she says, not actually met.

Someone eagerly takes pictures of all her drawings while someone else gently probes to find out which features are artistic license and which are really what aliens are like.

Permalink

She can turn into small aliens if they wanna know what the aliens look like! Not even kid versions, just scaled down aliens, and then the drawings are to scale (most of the things are between half and thrice human size except the tentacle snail, which is huge).

Permalink

Oh boy! They will delightedly take pictures of her as various aliens.

Permalink

Aliens! She doesn't know how most of them move but she can stay still.

Permalink

Stills are sufficient. They email the photos to whoever's designing the official alien website.

Permalink

Do they want her to show them other stuff?

Permalink

They'd love to see whatever she has to show them! Are there cool animals from Earth?

Permalink

Yeah! Puppies and birds and frogs some of which are orange (she says that the frogs are a lot smaller than she can squeeze) and foxes and elephants (those are way bigger than she can be) and tigers... She likes animals that come in orange the best, especially foxes. There's some cool stuff in the ocean but it's not fun to turn into outside of the water.

Permalink

"Maybe sometime we can get you to a lake or an aquarium and you can show us ocean animals!" says the delighted bio green.

Permalink

"Yeah! Earth has lots of animals, too, those were only a couple."

Permalink

"The advantage of an aquarium is you could see some Amentan animals too in the same trip."
