Moonblessed? Kanji quirked an eyebrow toward his friend. Maybe it was the hair...
But when he woke up, it was like he'd broken free from some sort of stone resembling the massive crystals that jutted out of the moon they'd wound up on. What did the blessing mean? Why wouldn't they go into that, instead of-
"New? We're from Earth! Solar System! Milky Way! Humans have been on Earth for millions of years! What's metal gotta do with anything?"
Though the metal bit had them confused, one researcher took a moment to refer to their data about some system that existed in a way of milk... though judging by the lack of an immediate answer, it was likely they had no idea where in the vast universe Kanji was going on about.
"And another thing! The... the sexual history shit! What the hell's that got anything to do with us or whatever operation you got goin' on here!?"
"Moonlacing," one researcher answered casually. "Your Chroma is the purest we've detected among every organism we've studied. But moonlacing, or physical contact via touching, kissing, or engaging in sexual intercourse, has been shown to increase Chroma levels in creatures with it."
"And before you ask- no. We Prismals can't produce Chroma ourselves. I mean, that'd make our lives so much easier, wouldn't it? My wife and I could pretty much light up an entire sector-" She was silenced, the feathers dotting her body puffing up in surprise as Kanji advanced a step, pure tension rolling off of him.
Kanji couldn't believe it. He didn't want to stand here, understanding that these aliens were possibly asking of the two of them to...! No, they were wrong. Or he was just stupid. His mom always said he was dumb. Maybe he was misinterpreting.
"Y-you're kidding. You're pullin' our legs! Right? This is another stupid dream, hard to understand, and when I wake up I'm back in my own bed."
The color creeping up his ears and neck, he sent a tense, yet desperate glance to Yu. What did he make of all of this? He did watch some sci-fi movies lately. Was he having a dream where he was asked to, what, repopulate a planet or be some alien battery?!
No worries, dude.
