Apologies for website downages. Working on it, hopefully will be on a new server in the next few weeks.
Red alert! Red alert! Abort ship! Abort ship!

Audri wrapped herself in a blue blanket to hide her alien appearance and waited in a gazebo in Nick’s yard until he came down and joined her. Audri said, “I hope you haven’t worried too much.” Nick said, “Not at all. I haven’t wanted to smother you. We’re good.” Shocked, Audri said, “‘Not at all’?! But I’ve been gone for ages! And we even had a date which I missed! You were going to come over!” Nick said, “Oh. Yeah. Sorry about that. Anna and I were playing games and I lost track of the time.” Piecing this together, Audri said, “Wait. Hold on. You stood me up?” Nick also pieced that together and replied, “It sounds like you stood me up as well.” Audri said, “I was brain-transported into space that night!” Staring off, lost in memory, Nick said, “Same for me, if you know what I mean. Speaking of which, what are your feelings on polyamory?”

As someone who is largely in favor of polyamory, there is a right time and a wrong time to bring that up with a monogamous partner. The only circumstances worse for it than this would probably require someone to have died.
I have enough trouble taking care of one woman. No thanks.
Sounds like you could use some help. Have you considered polyamory?
XD
Multiple species. A menagerie a trois.
A relationship with a tith is out of this world. If you don’t mind a long-distance romance.
Well that guy is Mr. Right for sure!
Mr. Right-Into-the-Trash.
Fascinating shuffle of expectations and dreams. And it’s not done yet. I’m not sure that negotiations are now possible or can even open, but it’s that or some public howling. Either way, I expect to be entertained. Now where’s I leave my Jujubes?
He says this to a space yak, without batting an eye.
Wasn’t this the guy who was supposed to be ok with dating a centaur?
Jujube’s. Looong time since I heard that. Don’t forget party lines and penny candy. (;)
And Now ‘n’ Laters and Chunkys and Buns. I used to love the maple-flavored ones. Sigh. All a memory from history, now. Except maybe Now ‘n’ Laters. Now I’ve got to get more popcorn to drown my nostalgia.
Homage to E.T. with the blue blanket
@Grizzly, Huh. I hadn’t thought of it, but who knows what my subconscious was thinking. I can totally see it now. 🙂
