Stargazer: UGH!
Jeneticist: What’s wrong?
Stargazer: My boss is such a creep! I caught him trying to unlock my phone.
FarfromHome: That is entirely unacceptable.
SquidHead: Want me to rough him up?!
JazzyPlum: That’s even funnier now that we’ve met in person.
SquidHead: Are you saying I’m not the intimidating type?
Seeker: Definitely not.
Jeneticist: That’s not a bad thing. I don’t like scary people.
Stargazer: The mental picture made me laugh. The jerky assistant manager is a short dude, so Tad would loom over him.
Seeker: Can you seek alternate employment or revenue streams?
SquidHead: It’s not that easy for most of us.
Stargazer: Amen. I’m sort of known for quitting jobs too. So finding somewhere that will hire me can be a challenge.
FarfromHome: If your situation becomes untenable, you can find refuge with me.
Seeker: And Kevin.
SquidHead: KEVIN!
JazzyPlum: That’s really kind of you, FFH.
SquidHead: …would it be weird if I asked for a pic of Kevin?
FarfromHome: Yes.
Jeneticist: Uh, I wanna see too. ??
JazzyPlum: I’m rather interested as well.
Seeker: Are there different types of roosters then?
SquidHead: So many!
FarfromHome: Fine. I will return with a picture.
[five minutes later]
FarfromHome: [attached photo]
SquidHead: KEVIN! ??
Jeneticist: OMG. So cute!
Stargazer: I used a lens to match the image. Kevin is a Golden Comet chicken?!
Jeneticist: I kinda love that for you, FFH.
JazzyPlum: Me too! Anyway, try to hang in there, Poppy. You’ll figure out what you’re meant to be doing.
Jeneticist: I’m sending a hug. ?? Let us know if there’s anything we can do.
Seeker: Yes, we’re here for you.
Stargazer: That helps more than you know. I can’t wait to see everyone! Just a bit longer. ??
FarfromHome: I don’t wish to be the bearing of bad tidings, but…has anyone seen the latest post on the AAU site?
Jeneticist: Looking now.
SquidHead: OH SHIT.
Stargazer: Oh my God. That’s us , right?
JazzyPlum: They managed to get photos of all three of us.
Seeker: How serious is this situation?
FarfromHome: I am uncertain. The subject is inflammatory: Real aliens at Space Con!
Jeneticist: They’re being accused of hoaxing in the comments.
Stargazer: “You smeared Vaseline on the lens or used a filter, big deal. Quit trolling.”
Seeker: It seems as if nobody believes them.
JazzyPlum: I’m a little concerned about AlienHunterX who says, “I sent you a DM.”
SquidHead: I’m making a second account. I’ll use a VPN. Time to start a comment war.
Stargazer: Is that a good idea?
Jeneticist: I don’t have a better one.
SquidHead: Don’t worry. I’ll get the thread locked.
JazzyPlum: Thank you. And good luck.
