It is a safe assumptions that most of you are.
Well, except some notable exceptions, like detailed below...

That said, feel free to correct any of my misconceptions.

Peace,
Lurker.

Perhaps at one time I was human, and called Earth my home. That is no longer the case. But, as they are my original species, something must be done to help them.

Enough of this alien annoyance.

We are in agreement then. I do my part by introducing different, um, "possibilities". In fact, I would venture to say that your kind is often more malicious than mine.

All this ruckus because of my choice of salutation?

A wise entity like yourself should concentrate on the important parts, not on such trifles.

That said, I thank you for inviting me into your dark zone. The setting was beautiful and the experience very educational. I look forward to visiting again.

Back on topic: attached is a short set made for an Earthling who (mistakenly) stipulated that I was a Mi-go.

Enjoy.

Peace,
Lurker.

And here are the two possible endings of the story, 3a is the fairytale(ish) ending, whilst 3b is the real lifey one.

See Ran. See Ran run. Run Ran run.

Indeed. Though all creatures with the capacity for sentience can be just as bad as any of us.

Perhaps your presence is not as malicious as I had previously assumed, otherworlder. Maybe someday we could join forces.

At any rate, you're welcome back to my world any time.

Ah, transcendent entities, is it not most enjoyable to remain within a quasi-human vessel and enjoy life for awhile, even if humanity does decide to engage in one large petard hoist.


NB: I recently forumulated the most applicable greeting. 'Greetings, individual', whilst functional at any time of day and with any species, gender or mixture, greetings carries implications that the other has arrived to you and individual carries the notion of singularity and individuality 'Salutations, entity' is applicable even to multi-partite beings and any occasion.

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

[JezebelB]

How about just "Hello"?

Anywho, here's three more. I fully understand that they won't be to everyone's tastes, hope they don't offend.

[Lucia]

At least it became a caption thread again...

Great captions everyone!

[thelurker]

Greetings, sentient entities!

Too bland for may tastes. Lacks personality. Doesn't give you an excuse to pick on poor Lurker...

That said, a number of you object to be called "Earthlings". I don't understand why, as it is less pretentious than "Homo Sapiens Sapiens" and not condescending like "Hairless Apes". Still, there is no accounting for individual taste, so I will try alternatives.

Back to business. The following set (for Rachel's Haven) had some fairly detailed requirements:

Best Friends: Basically a guy is very close to a group of girls, like a big brother to all. Except one night the boy has too much to drink and tries to pick up his friends. Making things awkward they all stop spending time together. The girls missing their friend come up with a solution to their problem Make him a girl.
Guys name: Brian
Girls name: Bailey, Hailey, Sasha, Chelsea.

This is what I came up with.

Peace,
Lurker.
