I have been wondering... For those of you not from Earth (or from an Earth significantly different from this one), what do you think of humans?

Humans can also tell me what they think of humans. I don't mind.

Do you have favorites? Do you have frustrations? Are you enjoying your stay?

People do like to feel like they're in control of all things. Maybe that's part of it.

Their guesses and strange ideas are part of the reason I was curious. If we have guesses and interpretations, why wouldn't it be the same reversed?

[redcosmedic]

Perhaps. They should keep that desire as wishful thinking.

What assumptions have you encountered?

[bridalrose]

About aliens?

I assume it's pretty typical... Little green men in flying saucers, mostly. I doubt it's very accurate at all.

[redcosmedic]

Hm, not very inspired.

[bridalrose]

No, but what can one expect?

I think, sometimes, people just like to repeat what they've heard. It perpetuates a lot of trouble.

[redcosmedic]

From humans? That's a loaded question.

You're correct, it does.

[bridalrose]

Loaded or not, I'd like to hear it. If you'd like to leave it as a hypothetical, though, that's fine.

Let's leave it hypothetical. Humans might be capable of great things from time to time, but too often they aim low and miss anyway.

[bridalrose]

I suppose that's telling enough as-is.

Thank you for your time.

[redcosmedic]

You're welcome. The question was interesting, no matter the breadth of responses you'll no doubt end up getting. It's good to see a little introspection now and again.

[bridalrose]

Mm. My brother always wonders about the stars, but never what may be living among them. I plan on bringing the information home with me, if I'm allowed.

[ Knock Out is pretty sure that he's been told one doesn't keep memories of this place when Ported out, but he's not about to start a discussion over it. ]

I'm sure he'll be grateful for that.

[bridalrose]

I don't know. I'm sure he wouldn't really believe me.

But it's no use wondering about it right now.

[redcosmedic]

I suppose not.
