(OOC: Well, you might be wondering... What the heck is this!? Well, it turns out that a year ago I had written this as a follow-up to this Post, but for some reason I hadn't posted it. So, well... Better late than never. By the way, keep in mind that I wrote this a year ago and was just getting started >_>)

(OLD OOC: I just wanted to say that this is the last post in the thread I’ve been working on, and I’ve really had a lot of fun creating this mini-story :3 thanks for reading)

CoolSpacebird16 Bleated: ok, this is a crazy story and I’ve been thinking long and hard about how to tell it, so let’s get started.

Well, it turns out that about 3 to 4 hours after I posted my previous post. Apparently, my now-former friend somehow found out what I’d been posting and then tried to contact me by every means possible (he even talked to my mom), and from what I was told, he was looking to “apologize to me,” though he still insisted that having my boyfriend around would be dangerous and that he should burn (he literally told my mom that last part). That worried my boyfriend and me, so we stayed one more day at the human shelter while they changed the locks on the door.

The next morning, it turned out I had a message from the apartment complex security saying that someone had heard someone trying to force the door to my apartment and that they would call the police and Exterminators just in case. So we quickly ran as fast as we could toward my apartment, and when we arrived, we saw my former friend being led by the police to one of their patrol cars.

At that very moment, he saw me and started ranting about how sorry he was and that he shouldn’t have “left me alone in the clutches of a predator,” while also starting to insult my human, who was standing next to me with a look of “What the hell?!” about the whole situation.

Just then, two Exterminators (a Yotul and a Venlil) approached and asked us who we were and what we were doing there. Long story short: we explained everything and who we were, and I swear the Yotul whispered something to his partner before putting his paw on my shoulder and telling me they’d take care of it.

At that moment, those two approached the officers, who were trying to put my former friend in the patrol car while he was still apologizing to me, saying that “due to his erratic behavior, they had to take him in for testing for possible PD,” snatching him away from the officers and loading him into their truck before driving off with him. I swear we spent at least five minutes processing what had just happened, and I want to tell you that, frankly, that was the weirdest interaction I’ve ever had with Exterminators in my entire life.

Getting back to the topic: after that, we went up to check out my apartment, and the first thing we saw was that the door handle was broken, and when we went inside, it was a mess—there were various things on the floor, and it smelled like someone had tried to burn something. We saw a pile of clothes and other things my boyfriend had left behind that were half-charred. But luckily, the fire suppression system had done its job.

From what we learned after reviewing the security footage: my former friend had broken in, taken anything remotely human from my apartment, and tried to burn it in order to “purify the apartment”—as he later stated during an interrogation.

The truth is, I’m glad they arrested him and got him out of my life. I wouldn’t have realized how crazy he was if I hadn’t had my boyfriend with me. After his arrest, he tested positive for PD, so he’s facing a long time behind bars.

Hopefully, I won’t have to see him again, so I guess this is the end of this story. It was nice sharing this with all of you, and goodbye.

Apparently an average guy bleated: Okay, first of all, I'm going to explain who I am. My name is Liam Smith. I'm in my early 20s, almost 30, and I was living a normal life until I had to evacuate VenlilPrime because of the Federation's orchestrated attack on Earth. I'm currently living as a refugee, and somehow... I'M THE MOST BORING GUY HERE!?

While my neighbors have already met and made friends with aliens, or are just wandering around the city like it's any old Friday, I, on the other hand, have barely been able to leave the shelter, and as soon as I do, the city seems deserted. Literally, the longest interaction I've had with a xeno so far was with an exterminator who ended up arresting me for no reason, and I ended up spending a day in a cell without food or water.

I've asked my acquaintances in other refugee centers how they've been doing, hoping to share some of my misery, and damn, it feels like I'm in another fucking universe. One got a job as a cook and is now a respected chef in his city, another literally told me how he participated in a revolution against the local Exterminator guild, and yet another started a relationship with a Venlil that seems more like something out of a Turkish soap opera. What the heck am I doing wrong?! Why does everyone around me seem to be having the time of their lives on this planet while I'm having the most NPC-like experience imaginable?!
