AUGUST PLOT: A LOVELY TRIP TO PLANET 10952.EG.K

[luminals]

Arrival on EG.K is non-eventful; one will find themselves about a five minute walk away from the closest village on a very flat planet. The purple and turquoise grass waves in the near-constant warm breeze under a rosy pink sky, and while the sun seems far too close to the planet for comfort, the semi-cloudy nature of the planet means one can see far into the distance without squinting constantly.

EG.K is currently a delightful 23.9 degrees in Universal Standard Temperature, dipping down to 15.5 UST at night. Visitors to the planet can expect clear skies and no rain or storms for the week. Occasional winds up 50 MPH are present, but not constant.

Make friends with the locals, take a swim in a lake, actually do whatever it is you came here to begin with - whatever it is, enjoy your week on this charming and uneventful planet!

I'm from Earth. There are other species than humans, you know.

[Gosh, Starscream. Gosh.]

...Well, maybe not in your universe.

[Nita is culturally sensitive! And, fortunately for Starscream, both really hard to offend and extremely self-confident, so she doesn't mind being scrutinized. Who can blame him? She'd scrutinize her!]

[aerospacecommander]

Well, I know humans have stories about underwater humanoid life, but I have never personally seen one.

Except you.

[He smirks a bit at the woman and tries to recall some things he's read about. Not that he is an expert on human mythology or anything. But he has been on the internet.]

Do you sing and lure men to their deaths?

[littlecousin]

[Nita's the best possible ambassador for her species, to be honest. Her cousin and Starscream would probably already be trying to kill each other.]

No.

[She's giggling. That one's new.]

That's sirens. I'm Atlantean.

[aerospacecommander]

[He stares at her. He should really have looked into human legends more. Then he would know these things.]

Ah, right. You're a mermaid then.

[Because that's a thing, right?!]
