i have some about aliens that are less...depressing

[ghostlocked]

aliens are good.
alien is my fav movie if that means anything to u.

[proselytise]

sorry to disappoint, but they're aliens that look more like people

still pretty violent though but i don't have to include that

[ghostlocked]

eh. ppl from space is still cool.
i dont mind violent. hit me.

[proselytise]

they're kind of cool, but also pretty uncool

there were two of them that came to earth after escaping their home planet, they took up residence in a young girl's basement and started living there in secret. in her basement, they started doing all kinds of medical experiments.

one year at christmas, the girl who lived there was waiting in hiding for santa claus, with a rag and a bottle of chloroform. she planned to capture him, but the one who came down her chimney wasn't santa claus, but krampus, come to punish children who misbehaved. or one child, in particular.

however, once she realized what had come to her house, she decided to just change her plans and knocked him out. one of her alien housemates asked her what she planned to do, if she wanted to dissect him or do other experiments.

instead, she decided that they would brainwash him, and so the family of a young girl and two aliens ended up with krampus as their butler.

the end. kind of.

[ghostlocked]

ok wait. wtf.
y were they escaping their home planet?

[not enough alien in this story, dude.]

[proselytise]

the thing about that planet, it was divided into two groups-- men and overmen. overmen were basically high society, men were further divided into groups and used for all kinds of jobs from acting to hard labor to medicine testing to being used as food.

this scientist had a theory that there was actually no difference between men and overmen, and began testing that out, using someone who was going to be scrapped anyway after he got "accidentally" infected with an incurable disease.

the scientist claimed he was working on treating said incurable disease, but it was a lie. one day, he had his test subject get in a body bag, and announced him dead-- and then escaped with him.

turns out there was no difference between the two groups, and finding that out made the scientist a wanted man.

[ghostlocked]

o.
well good for the scientist ig but ur turning this into a rabbit hole.
were the aliens in the first story the scientist and the guy from this one?
this is more interesting than the other story btw.

[proselytise]

yeah, same guys. that's why they escaped-- everyone was out for him for revealing the truth.

that's fair, yeah

[ghostlocked]

u write these ones urself again?

[proselytise]

oh, could you tell bc they're amateurish?

[ghostlocked]

lmao. i didnt say that.
it was a genuine question.
tell me something true this time.
where u from?

[proselytise]

this smallish city by the sea. if i looked out my window, i could see it. there was a beach, but it was more rocky than sandy, so it wasn't the ideal vacation spot or anything. but it was kind of nice.

[ghostlocked]

cant say im familiar. that could be anywhere.
im from nyc.
mean anything to u?

[proselytise]

heard of, never been

[ghostlocked]

ur not a terribly forthcoming guy huh?

[proselytise]

you never know who you're talking to on the internet, they could be a killer or something.

[ghostlocked]

what? u think im gonna kill u?
lmao.
hypothetically lets say that yeah im a murderer and i decide to off u for some reason.
i know ur name bc it automatically shows up w. u respondin here.
theres like a hundred ppl in this town. hadriels small af.
our doors dont lock. theres no police or law system.
i could track u down in less than a day if i really wanted to.
and yet murders dont seem to happen here all that often.
even if someone did kill u ud just come back in a couple days. then ud be able to be like hey everyone this jackass over here is a murderer. watch out.
