NerdyBoy1104 (Kabuto) Arconia Alien application




In the cold and quiet reaches of space a shadow darted in front of the stars, it seemed to have a particular direction in mind as it's course was plotted by the winking of stars. As it silently approached it's destination, it was caught in the glint of the nearby star, revealing an odd cylindrical vessel that turned and flipped as it tumbled down into the blue/green planet's atmosphere. The re-entry plasma raged around it but left no mark as it streaked down towards the surface. It impacted in an ocean, bouncing along several miles before the object seemed to correct itself, spinning upright like a top and skating along the surface towards land. It arrived at a beach whipping the sand up around it. Caught in this the vortex it was completely shielded from view by a glittering typhoon of sand and half formed glass as it drilled down, burying itself into the shore. The sand fell all around, shimmering in the sky as a loud hiss reverberated out, overpowering the roar of the ocean. The top of the cylinder opened up like a flower in bloom, revealing a small bundle of cloth. The ocean's roar once again returned as it sprayed a fine mist over the beach, covering the bundle in a small layer of water.

The cylinder's interior stirred and a three digit hand pulled the material further over itself as annoyed mumblings escaped from the bundle. Around fifteen seconds passed before the covers were thrown away by flailing limbs as a small figure crashed down to the sand below, getting a mouthful. The being sat up, lolling out it's large pink tongue as it clawed at it with it's hands and made frantic spitting motions. As it was trying to clear it's palette it tried to look around, the direct sunlight cause it to squint it's two main eye, but it's smaller set higher above allowed it to get it's position. The being was greeted by sights it had never seen before, crystal blue oceans and pale yellow sand surrounded it. It's nose and mouth were attacked by the salt kicked up in the ocean spray. The roar of the ocean was the only friendly sensation the small being received as it huddled up into a ball, stuck it's thumb into it's mouth and closed it's eyes rocking back and forth.

The sound of static filled the air, originating from the capsule the being arrived in. The small figure continued to rock back and forth, weeping, ignoring this new sound just adding to this alien place. But soon the static was replaced by strange sounds, to you or I they would sound like gibberish, but what the creature heard was a very familiar pair of voices. "T`Chella? T`Chella my sweet can you hear me?" The creature stopped what it was doing immediately as it raced over towards the machine it arrived in, gripped onto the sides and hoisted itself up. "T`Chella? Are you there?" The voices sounded more urgent but they were cut off by a quiet and frail "Daddy?". "T`Chella!, Daddy is here, don't worry, it's all alright now, you're safe." the being known as T`Chella looked around frantically "Where are you daddy? I can't see you!". "Don't worry my little girl, it's alright, everything will be alright." A soft sigh could be heard drawn out as if a hand had been run across it in exasperation. "You're safe but-" there were sounds of shouting and banging in the background "but Daddy can't be with you right now. Something's happening and he needed to get you safe. You'll be safe there. There are bad people after Daddy and..... and he might be going to the same place as Mommy. I love you and I will miss you so much, but this was the only way to keep you safe. I hope one day you will understand. That ship should have enough seeds in there to grow fruit for you whenever you need. And if you need a drink you just have to pour any water into the slot at the back. The ship should record this message for you... so sweetie, know that I will always love you and that someday I will be with you again." Grunts of effort could be heard before the sound cut off entirely. "D...Daddy!?" The small child lowered itself back into the bundle of cloth, cocooned itself in the blankets and cried itself to sleep.
