How to court an alien in 10 Days or something
I've been knee-deep in The Human Division series for this Scifi month and I have loved every short story. This feels like it takes place in the same OMW/Human Division universe so I'm counting it.
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
How I met your mother but without the kid. Oh and there's aliens.
Character Development/Favorite Character:
Why are Editors-in-Chief so ... what's the word ... weird? Insane? Colorful? Adept at Moral ambiguity and crossing lines.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
Charlie attends a Cli Fertilization Party:
That’s why everyone’s put a milt ball on the table.”
“But how does the sperm get distributed from the table to you?”
I asked.
“We just add water,” Ronen said.
“Water?” I asked, alarmed. Ronen looked over at me. “?h dear,” it said. “I may have made a faux pas. We Cli don’t wear clothes. I should have told you it would be advisable to bring a swimsuit.”
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “One of the things I love about you is that you’re smart. But for this whole thing it’s like someone took your brain and hid it in the trash can.” (Claire on Charlies latest ER visit)
🖤 “I’m a dominant, Sefhuan don’t have sexes like humans do. But we have positions.” (Ttan on Sefhuan gender norms)
🖤 “In a week, you’ve been stabbed, covered in goo, baptized and tricked into sex. For what? For a story.” (Claire on Charlie's dating escapades)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts:
All Charlie's dates with different Aliens
■ Sefhuan game of Jard
■ Cli Fertilization Party
■ Fruden Baptism for Slavering Godhead
■Ambush shenanigans with a Durang
