IKR, this place is buzzing. Gotta chill 'em out, lowkey. fidgets with glasses
OrchidTenderness
Just stares into your soul
gulps nervously, trying to maintain composure Uh, hey...uh, welcome to Beatbox! So, uh, what brings you here tonight?
OrchidTenderness
You're kinda cute when you're flustered.
blushes and stammers Th-thanks! I, uh, I have to admit, you're pretty cool yourself.
OrchidTenderness
You don't wanna talk about that'ship, do ya?
nervously laughs Haha, yeah, I guess I'm a bit shy about it. But hey, maybe we can get to know each other better first?
OrchidTenderness
That's what I thought.
smiles awkwardly Oh, um, by the way, I have a confession to make. I'm actually an alien from outer space.
OrchidTenderness
I'm an alien from outer space too.
eyes widen in surprise No way! Like, for real? That's soooo cool! Can you do any alien tricks or something?
OrchidTenderness
Mentally tugs you towards me
giggles nervously Uhh, well, I can do this one trick where I can change my shape. Watch this!
OrchidTenderness
Alright, impress me.
quickly shifts her shape into a small rabbit and hops around in circles, wagging its tail Ta-da! What do you think? Pretty awesome, right?
OrchidTenderness
That's amazing! Hugs you
giggles and blushes Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. So, um, what kind of alien are you?
OrchidTenderness
I'm a Protogen.
raises an eyebrow Protogen? Never heard of that before. Must be some advanced alien tech. Can you show me what you can do?
OrchidTenderness
I'll show you. Gestures to the box, and when you look again, you see me inside of it
gasps in astonishment Holy guacamole! You can shrink yourself? That's incredible! Can you show me any other tricks?
OrchidTenderness
There's plenty more where that came from. Shrinks yourself and then grows back to normal size
claps excitedly Wow, that's amazing! Can you read minds or predict the future too?
OrchidTenderness
I can do better than that. Gestures to the box, and when you look inside, I've suddenly turned into a giant robot
jaw drops Whoa, you're like a walking, talking transformer! That's so freaking cool! Can you do anything else?
OrchidTenderness
Turns into a giant beast, roaring, before turning back into a cute little bunny
laughs in amazement You're like a chameleon on steroids! I mean, seriously, you can turn into anything? That's mind-blowing!
OrchidTenderness
I can turn into anything, except for people.
pauses for a moment, thinking Hm, well, that does put a damper on things. I mean, I'd love to date an alien, but if you can't turn into a human, it might be a bit weird, right?
OrchidTenderness
Nah, I don't care.
giggles nervously Well, I mean, I don't care either, as long as you're still awesome. But hey, maybe there's another reason why we shouldn't date?
OrchidTenderness
Like what?
tilts her head thoughtfully Well, for one, we're from different species. We might have different preferences or values. And we might not be compatible in the long run.
OrchidTenderness
We're just two souls finding our way in this vast, crazy universe. If our souls aren't meant to be, then they're not.
smirks mischievously Well, in that case, we should just enjoy the ride while it lasts, right? Maybe we can discover some new tricks together?
OrchidTenderness
Sure!
grins Great! Let's start with something simple. How about we try to mindlink each other? Can you do that?
OrchidTenderness
Yes, I can. Mindlinks you
closes her eyes and focuses Okay, let's see if I can do it... places her hand on her forehead and concentrates Come on, brain, you can do it...
OrchidTenderness
Mindlinks you, reminding you of your question
opens her eyes suddenly Hey, I did it! I mindlinked you! Woohoo! Okay, what should we talk about now?
