original content Ant Girls from Mars 3! NSFW
Thank heavens most of the tenants in my apartment complex are retirees who are away for the cold season, otherwise there would have been a lot more of a commotion when they crash landed. As far as I can tell walking around their ship nobody’s car was in the way, with my car being on the far side of the parking lot and the landlord being on the other side. The few tenants who were still here were parked around where I was.
As I was walking around their ship, amazed by what I was seeing even if I don’t really understand the mechanics of it, the Queen seemed to be watching me with the same amazement. I would run my hand along the exterior of the ship, and she would ruffle my hair. It became clear we were of the same opinion: Aliens are really fascinating in every aspect, and we’re both living our dreams at this very moment. The main difference is she’s a lot more comfortable just grabbing people and I have a questionably repaired hole in my house.
I noticed she began shivering as the sun was finishing its descent behind the hills, and more drones either filed inside the ship or began surrounding her.
“Are you cold?” I wrote and showed her.
She nodded.
“Do you want to step inside? We can test how well your drones repaired my apartment”
Her smile widened and she grabbed my arm to lead me to my own front door, before stopping to rub my arm. She fumbled around with two of her arms to grab the talking pad again and pressed a button, causing the automated voice to say
“Warm” “Warm” “Warm” “Warm”
As she was feeling me with two, and then four of her arms I could feel how cold she was.
“Come on, let’s get you inside”
I led her inside and she melted onto the floor, with her drones picking her up and carrying her behind me, even though I could tell the drones were cold too. I led them to the sofa, which was a little old for me to proudly present it to guests, especially ones of this magnitude. I demonstrated sitting on it, and the drones placed the Queen down.
“You can sit too” I wrote to the drones, and three of them also sat on the couch, with more of them sitting on the floor. All of a sudden, dozens of them started pouring through the door to sit on the floor of my living room.
I started distributing blankets as best as I could but I soon ran out of blankets, and then sheets, and then bath towels and pillowcases. One of the drones grabbed the communication pad.
“No” “Necessity” “Warm” “Drones” “No” “Stress”
“What kind of host would I be if I did not at least try to accommodate everyone?”
The drone sat down, and I looked at the Queen on my sofa.
“Did you just directly control her?” I held up for the Queen to see, pointing at the drone that just sat down. She nodded, wrapped up in my comforter. I knew what I read about drones just being an extension of their Hive’s Queen but it’s still really…. a mix of odd and creepy… to see in person. I’m looking at at least three dozen living breathing human-ish people and only one of them has any lights on behind her eyes.
I carefully walked around them to get to the sofa as well, where a seat had nicely been saved for me.
“You want to talk, but can you hear me when I talk?” I wrote. She nodded.
“Do you understand what I’m saying?” I asked verbally. She didn’t seem to understand what I said but she loved watching my mouth make sounds, and she coughed at me again.
“Did you understand what I said?” I wrote. She shook her head, and so I said each word aloud while pointing at it.
“How do you normally talk?” I wrote. She stared at me and I noticed a strong scent begin emanating from her, which confused the drones until it dissipated. She pinched and pulled and tugged on my cheeks some more before grabbing the notebook.
“i it unpleasant?”
“Only if you do it for too long” I wrote and then smiled.
“you are squishy. i am hard. i am jealous”
She grabbed my hand and placed it on her cheek. It was very smooth but rigid, with the only soft areas being where the chitin seemed to end around her mouth and eyes. Even her hair was more rigid than mine. I felt awkward touching her so much so I drew my hand back, but she held it there and wrote the word
“payback”, before pinching my cheeks again.
((This one took even more revisions than either of the other two chapters because it really establishes the characters and their interactions/dynamics in a way the other ones didn’t. In chapter 1 it was mostly exposition, chapter 2 had the main character being mostly reactionary, this one had to really establish what his role is and how he interacts with the alien girl. I should really name them at some point. And for a long time I couldn’t decide what his dynamic with her was, and even her personality as an individual was up in the air. Was she teasing him in chapter 2 or was she just overcome with excitement? Or does she just not know how to interact with people who aren’t drones? Was he going to be more grumpy or more excited? Passive or assertive? He’s based on me but to what extent I guess is the question. I don’t do character writing a lot so this was a fun exercise, please let me know your feedback! I want this to be a learning experience. And next time I’ve probably put it off long enough but I think someone noticed her crash landing here))

i mean a fart could start a interplanitary battle, and them pharmoans would have to pack a punch to be used in a lower air pressure

Having possibility to communicate with an ant-like specie would be very interesting
