So This Prompt Came At The Perfect Time - Tumblr Posts
Omg this actually goes along with my latest brain worms ^_^
Also this turned out longer than I thought- anyways
*AHEM*
The setting is on an alien ship, think Star Trek but with no humans. Why? Because a lot of alien species think that humans are an abomination to whatever being created the universe.
Like, what do you mean they have a super corrosive acid in their stomach??? You have to be shitting me Vekktar.
Well, as I said, no humans allowed on the ship. The problem? It's one of the most popular and most dangerous ships in the universe, carrying very important people and information in it daily.
So you, the listener (a human) was tasked to infiltrate the ship, get blueprints of it and it's software, as well as a general idea as to the specific types of info and people it carries.
You'd think that it would be hard disguising yourself as another alien race, but thankfully, most aliens think humans are dumb. They also have no idea just how realistic human special effects makeup is.
So now, thanks to hours and hours of training in special effects, a little bit of interplanitarian black market shopping for a new identity, you finally board the ship under a disguise as one of the more peaceful alien species (so that if they find out a human tried to sneak onto a ship disguised as them, they won't instantly declare war on humans).
The mission goes well! You're able to communicate and create bonds with other shipmates since they see you as an equal. You try your best to not form friendships that are too close (as you do not want them finding out your true identity) but you just can't help yourself. After all, one of a human's greatest weaknesses is their friendliness.
You meet a particularly nice alien (the speaker) and become quite close along your journey around galaxies. You two spend lots of time together, playing games, goofing off, and generally having an absolute blast.
It isn't until the very end of your mission, when you've gotten all the information you need, that your new alien best friend finds out.
It wasn't a grand ordeal when your friend found out. You were turning in for the night, doing your nightly routine of taking off the heaps of makeup you put on every morning before you head to bed for a good night sleep. This was routine to you at this point, and that's where you slipped up.
You forgot to lock the door.
So halfway through removing all the gunk on your face, you hear the door to your quarters open.
"yo! Where are you?" They called out, "I have something to show you!"
You tried to quickly run and shut the door to the bathroom, but you were too late. Standing face to face with your best friend, their eyes widened in shock.
"wha- a human?" Their voice turned cruel as they drew their weapon at their hip, "how the hell did you get in here."
You quickly explained yourself, your friend recognizing you from your voice.
"wait you... You're a human??" They were confused, slowly putting the pieces together in their brain.
They then questioned you, asking about your mission, its purpose, and other things.
(I can't think of any more at the moment, but yey :])
