screw the spookiness, you talk the same language!
instantly babble about how glad you are to be able to talk to someone, if it's non-hostile it'll defuse some tension and if it's hostile it'll possibly confuse it.

Prostrate yourself before your new god.

Or remove your hat and break out the show tunes.

It's time to PANIC.

>"Hello, neumono."
Your first reaction before anything else should be

"Oh thank goodness something here speaks the same language!"

>"Hello, neumono."
"Um. It's Koror, actually. Who are you? Did you shoot me down?"

Don't spend too long thinking about how thrilling it would be to make sweet, sweet love to such a majestic figure.

>>774005

Hey, actually... Boldness and confidence, with a bit of flirting, even if it stems from a sort of perversion and brain-weirdness, might be more useful to you than pants-wetting terror?

>>774005
>>774009
Jesus Koror, you really are a world class pervert aren't you?

>>774011
Well he's been on this island for like a day! its just natural that he'd want to bang anything that moves at this point I'm sure.

In any case do not go farther than light flirting in case it pisses it off and don't think about fucking this thing in case it can read minds and isn't up for that.

Raise your arms to the sky. Maybe instant submission will let you have a reasonably comfortable life as a pet or less-expendable test subject?

...Maybe it's just two green lights and a speaker?

>>774039
Pretty sure your average neumono can go more than a day without trying to bone everything that moves.

We should be fine on the mind reading front, it would be weird if they had a predator and hadn't pacified the hive up above, and if there were another neumono reading us we'd be able to feel it.

>>774259
That could be even worse!
>>774054
Uhhh both of those options seem like they would be terrible for a neumono.
>>774290
Well yes but your average neumono is tough as nails and probably would have torn his eye out and ripped off his ear as a sign of submission, he is a softy from a softy tribe with a bunch of crazy thoughts given to him by people who may have gone much more than a day without sex, also we have yet to see it move so we are now at the point of wanting to bone everything that speaks. Koror is not your average neumono.

Is a predator a species in the asteroidverse or are we just talking normal definition?

>>774320
It's a species. Big quadrupedal mammal, red with yellow stripes, can hijack neumono empathy and basically mindcontrol them. The controlled neumono gradually burns out and essentially becomes the Vodun version of a zombie.

The room lights up and... what am I even looking at exactly...?

"Okay so I had this idea for what I thought was gonna be a mildly shocking prank or whatever but only just now did I realize that I'm used to people already knowing what I am when I do this kinda prank and you have no idea what I am probably so it was probably less mildly shocking and more terrifying or something but anyway I'm sorry about that and I don't want to screw up the first real conversation I've had with anyone in years so—"

It takes a deep breath.

"—hi sorry for scaring you I'm Gadarchen but you can just call me Chen because it's shorter and everyone calls me that or they did back when I had people to talk to am I talking too fast I'm probably talking too fast I talk fast when I get nervous."

...

... This is too much for one day...

>>775783
An undocumented species of alien? Um, introduce yourself. Then maybe ask what he's doing here, and what he is exactly? Also why can't he just talk to the natives? Are they too scared to talk to him?

have a boot up error and pass out on the Amtsvane.

That tunnel you came in is way smaller than that this thing. Unless there's another way out, it's trapped!

Also this means a measure of safety for you. If you feel like you're in danger, you can turn and run back the way you came like a mouse into it's hole and he can't get you.

>what do
Okay, he's babbling. He's nervous. Those are good things. Nervous just talking to you mean he's not some kind of horrible monster.

Also, it speaks your language. This is also good! You can talk to... whatever weird alien or weird Astraneus species this is! And it has modern tech! That can help you! Maybe there's a radio, or at the very least, a bed and a shower and internal plumbing and heating and such.

So... slow down. Introduce yourself, explain that you crashed after being shot down, ask who and what he is, and what he's doing here.

Oh no! It's a really big alien! Big enough to eat you in one bite!

Quickly scream, "EEEEK!!! DON'T EAT ME!!!"

just say you need to sit down a bit, then do it, and process

You know what, it's been a long day, just let your brain just reboot and pass out right here right now and hope that this has been one long bad dream that was caused because you ate too much.

Give Chen a big hug!

At first, you will need only one letter. 'a'. ...as in point and go 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' like you no doubt want to. Once you get it out of your system, then maybe you could talk. This thing seems like it might either try to calm you down, run away, or scream back in surprise.

Take some deep, calming breaths at some point. Deeper. Deeeeeeeeeeeper. Let it out slowly.

Greet when callm enough.

I say keep to our original groveling thinking even if it seems like he doesn't intend harm!

Quick! There is a conveniently Koror-sized gap between his left foot toes and it's relatively close! Hug it! Ask for mercy!

Continue loading and being in reference pose.

>>775783
Just calm down, it's a giant lizard. Giant lizards aren't native to this planet, it must be an alien. And since it's an alien who covered its house in dirt, it must be an anthropologist. Complain that he blew up your ship.

This seems like a good time for a nap.

...just ask for some kind of explanation for something

try not to think about how huge it's dick must be.

What does he mean he doesn't have people to talk to? This island has a bunch of natives. We literally just heard them talk to him over intercom unless there's someone else down here. Please don't tell us there's someone else down here.

Also, things that big shouldn't be allowed to seem this timid.

Woah. Slow down. This guy can speak your language ane has access to tech. This day just got a whole lot better.

Ask the giant chicken/lizard nerd what gender they are.

Then establish dominance and/or friendzone, you'll probably be here awhile.

Fall over backwards and pass out from combination multiple heart attacks, brain overloading and gravity of the situation.

End thread 1.

>>775782

When I look back up, the... alien.... Chen, I guess, is still looking right back down at me expectantly, having stayed quiet the whole time. If anything, Chen seems to have gotten more anxious, somehow.

"Uh—"
>"Aa chtelki I am so glad you said something I was starting to worry you were going to fall over unconscious or something." Chen waited less than two seconds before starting up again, and the words are almost coming out faster than I can understand them! "Are you okay, is there something you need, can I get you something, what's on—I'm talking too much aren't I you probably have so many questions and here I am just going on and on did I mention I talk too fast when I'm nervous I'm such a mess. Sorry. I'll try to keep myself in check for a bit."

Chen goes silent. I wait just a moment before trying to start talking again.

"... uh, hi. I'm Koror."
>"Hi!" I pause before answering, but Chen doesn't say anything else this time.

>Then maybe ask what he's doing here, and what he is exactly? Also why can't he just talk to the natives?
"Uh... what are you exactly?"
>"Oh yeah you've probably never seen anything like me before. I'm an amtsvane! We're... well, you can see what I look like and that probably tells you most of what you need to know. I know we probably look big and intimidating, but we're really docile, I promise." I have no idea what to make of that. Chen seems to be trying really hard to speak at a steadier pace. "... Obviously I'm not from this world or anything."
"Uh, what are you doing here, then?"
>"It's a long story, but the short version is that I got sent to the wrong galaxy in a teleporter accident. Or maybe this is another dimension I'm not totally sure and it freaks me out to think about sometimes so I try to just not think about it anymore I mean I don't even know where home is and it's a really scary—I'll stop. Sorry." I am a little worried about this alien.
"... and what was that about not having anyone to talk to?"
>"Oh. Well... the other neumono on this island... they don't really want me to learn their language at all and they don't want to learn mine either but a couple of them picked up a little bit out of necessity so we can talk a little but it's not much of a conversation also until last year they only ever hid from me." Chen pauses. "Can I just say that I'm really glad you speak the language I taught myself from all the media broadcasts here? I really seriously haven't had a proper conversation with anybody in more than ten years and there's no way that's been good for me and it's probably part of why I'm such a mess I swear I used to be more together than this but things happened and—" The alien abruptly cuts off. "Sorry. Again."

... I won't lie. I am less intimidated by this alien every time it talks.

>Ask the giant chicken/lizard nerd what gender they are.
"Um, I'm not really familiar with, um... amsvanays." That is not super easy to say. "Are you, uh... like..."
>"Oh I'm female. It's pretty obvious but I guess you have no idea what to look for, huh! ... That sounded condescending I'm sorry I can't remember how to talk to people anymore. That's what you were asking, right?"
"Yeah. And, it's... fine." I am increasingly worried about this alien.

>Complain that he blew up your ship.
"So, um, I'm on this island because the shuttle I was flying got shot down."
>"... What?"
"It got hit by a missile."
>"That's... there's not supposed to be anyone out here at all... that's why I picked this island in the first place..." She seems a lot more upset by this than I was expecting, honestly...
"So you didn't..."
>"Oh no no Koror no way I don't even have missiles and if I did I would not be shooting them at people!"

I guess that's still a mystery, then...

It looks like she's expecting me to ask more questions. Which I definitely still have. I just need to decide what to focus on...

Ask what she eats. Also, if she was teleported here, where did all her technology come from, and this hidden base? And if she's so lonely, but was able to receive broadcasts at least, why didn't she rig up a radio or something and call someone? I mean, that might not be a good idea until you find out who did shoot that missile, but she wouldn't have known that before. What can and can't she make?

stick your dick in it.

>>777004
If she wants, you can act as her intermediary with the pygmies. They're a lot less intimidated by you and you've picked up bits of their language already. Oh, can she instruct you in what she knows of their language? Or she can just help figure out how it works based on the language samples you have so far.

Does she have any way off the island? You'd like to at least tell your hive you're okay.

Hmmm... lots of questions, though we might want to spread from what is useful and what is just interesting.

Interesting:
How have you survived here? What do you eat?How did you construct this bunker place? Who do you know from the tribe? Any friends?

Important:
What kinds of things do you know about the tribe? Why might the tribe queen have sent you here angrily? Do you have any way to help me get home? Do you like hugs? Can I hug you?

So nervous alien going crazy from isolation. Could be worse.

Wonder why the pygmies were so hard on her. Guess she can't teach is their language, but we can see what little she knows. Later.

>Which I definitely still have. I just need to decide what to focus on...
So... I can't help but notice all the metal. And the speakerbox. And you mentioned listening to broadcasts. You've got tech? Equipment? Can we radio for help?

>That's... there's not supposed to be anyone out here at all... that's why I picked this island in the first place...
Wait a second, deliberately isolating herself doesn't mesh with being desperate for company. And if it was a teleporter accident, how did she have any choice in where she ended up?

So umm... are we trapped in here?

Ask her if she could help you out with a ship or something so you can get back to your home island.

She said something about broadcasts? Is there a way you could send out a ham radio signal or something to reach your island? ...or would that possibly alert the jerks that blew up your ship. I hope that thing was insured by the way. Hey, maybe they thought you were this thing and that's why they attacked ships in this area.

>>777003
>Heart beat.
Uh oh! Only one of your hearts has started beating again! Something must be wrong with your other 9 hearts! You need medical attention!

>>777004
>I'm female.
Hey, how convenient! Someone else for you to imagine putting your dick into! ;-)

So why did you build this big base instead of, like, a boat or something? Did you bring along any of your extragalactic technology? Do you know how your teleporter works? Is there any precedent for dimension hopping? Have you noticed any differences in the physics between here and where you came from?

>it's a girl
This doesn't actually help us any, we don't know what sexes or gender dynamics this species has.

The missile thing is still concerning, but this is on the whole good news. Chen here represents a serious potential windfall for your hive if you're able to get back to them alive, and as far as we know now this island is free of hostiles.

Why don't we.. uh.. Sit, somewhere. Do you have tea or something?

I take it you're stranded too?

>>777004
If she's getting broadcasts, maybe she can send a broadcast to your hive and they can sort something out for getting a rescue organized?

...Though that might be pretty expensive. Too bad your hive doesn't have a shuttle of its own, huh?

>>777009
That will probably be difficult considering his entire body could probably fit in there. Also, I find it funny the way we kept obsessing over him being surrounded by tiny women, and as soon as they're gone we immediately go after the next lady we see despite her being larger relative to us than we are to any of the pygmy tribe.

Ask what exactly this structure is. Also, did she say she received television broadcasts down here? DOES SHE HAVE A COMMUNICATION DEVICE THAT YOU COULD USE TO CALL YOUR HIVE? Feel sorry when you realize she's been so lonely and the first person she could ever have a real conversation with asked if she could help them leave an go home inside of ten minutes.

How long have you been here, as in, here on this island and also here in this galaxy, and can you provide me with a boat or something to get back to my hive? Any miraculous alien hypertechnology you can spare would also be appreciated, since otherwise I'd be coming back empty-handed after that shuttle we spent so much money on got randomly blown up.

Real stroke of luck. Maybe you could compare notes and learn more of the pygmy language, in case you'll be stuck here a while. Then, you could at least visit your unexpected inter-tribal friends. Maybe trade.
Hopefully, that communication idea has some luck, but if not, at least you have someone to talk to as you try to survive.

Ask if she's got anything to eat in here.

I have already suggested but I thought I might bring up a point due to the rampant sexual thoughts: Are you well, Koror? Do you have a partner back home? Are you really sure you aren't just a bit 'thirsty'? I'm not going to be the type to just tell you to throw yourself at the random women we've encountered, but due to its intensive presence in what you claim to be your mind, you might want to actually consider forming a positive relationship with someone here. Maybe it will clear the air if we can release some of this pent up tension...

Or I guess you can keep bottling it up and we can deal with this every few seconds.

>>777329
Pretty sure giving in will just encourage more of this crap :P

>I'm female
Seduce?

>>777009
Stick your dick and one of the islanders in it.

... it's funny. Even though she's an ams... alien, this girl is so nervous, and communicating it in such a blatant way, that I'm not nearly as weirded out as I thought I would be talking to someone who doesn't have empathy.

>stick your dick in it.
I think I have more important things to focus on right now!

>Where am I
"What is this place?"
>"Well originally it was just an escape pod thing but after I put it underground to hide it I ended up taking out most of the walls to make it bigger which it was kind of designed for anyway so now it's just kind of a living space and it works well enough for that." Escape pod? And there's the bit about hiding again...
"And you've been here for...?"
>"Twelve and a half years ish which is less of a big deal than it sounds like because the equipment in this pod is good enough to keep me going for hundreds of years probably but also kind of a big deal anyway because it's still a really long time to be alone."

... wait, hundreds of years?? ... I put the thought aside for the moment, but...

>About food
"Uh, do you have anything to eat? What do you eat, anyway?"
>"Oh right neumono have to eat pretty frequently don't they well um I can get you some food over in the next room and also since you asked amtsvane eat pretty much anything that's smaller than they are."
"... Uh..."
>"I'm joking I'm joking it's fine. ... I mean I'm not exactly joking because we do but not people or anything geez anyway I have a... what's the word... replicator... thing... it can make food out of organic material and that's what I use to feed myself most of the time."

She turns around and strides into the room behind her.

>"So yeah if you just follow me I'll see about getting you something to eat."

... Following Chen in here really just reinforces how much bigger she is than I am, in a way I only really notice when she's moving. There's a part of me that wants to tear off running and find somewhere to hide, for sure.

>Can I hug you?
So for example I'm not asking that question. ... yet, at least.

Lights come on as soon as Chen steps into the room, which... honestly, it doesn't look all that different from the last one, except there are several large, featureless metal boxes in it, all coming up to her waist or so. She taps on one of these to reveal a compartment with a much smaller box, which she pulls out, sets atop the larger box, and then starts tapping on in turn.

>"I don't know what you like exactly so I'm just going to give you what I gave the other neumono the last time any of them came in here because they seemed really happy with it that's okay right?"
"Sure...?" More tapping.
>"Okay that's set up so I should have something for you soon but what else did you want to ask?" She turns back around to look at me again.

>About the pygmies
"The other neumono on this island... you said they don't want you to learn their language?"
>"They are really protective of it apparently and they figured out very quickly that I was trying to listen for any of it so they started making a point of talking really quietly and as little as possible around me when they're around me which is not often to begin with because they are really wary of me and I guess I can't blame them for that. I don't think they hate me or anything but they do not want me to learn it so even when one of them was actually staying here for a while she would not say any words to me in it at all and I think she even kind of likes me since she learned little bits and pieces of one of the languages I speak and comes and talks to me on the speaker I set up sometimes but not that often since I don't think the other neumono are very happy about it." ... I wonder if she's talking about Murel.
"What else do you know about them?"
>"Not very much except that they are very small for neumono! And I think you probably already knew that too."
"Do you know why the queen would have sent me to you?"
>"... not exactly but I have tried to tell them as best I can that I'm always willing to help them and maybe that message got through and they decided you were something that they wanted my help with?"

>Getting home
Right, yeah, I need to focus.
"So you have... a whole bunch of technology here."
>"Y... yeah?" She immediately looks more nervous, for some reason.
"And you mentioned picking up broadcasts."
>"Yeah it's how I know your language and stuff."
"Can you, uh, help me get home? Or at least let me contact my hive?"
>"I... um..." She pauses for quite some time, closing her eyes briefly. "... it's probably not what you want me to say exactly but I have to be able to trust you first."
"Uh, what?"
>"I don't want you to..." She trails off. "Look I'll explain it later but I promise I'll help you as soon as I feel like I can trust you okay?"

... Well, I'll let it go for a moment.

>Teleporter? Escape pod?
>Hiding but wanted company?? What?
"So, wait. If you got here in a teleporter accident, how were you able to pick this island? And what was that about an escape pod?"
>"I... we... the whole research station got teleported and then I... had to use the escape pod later... because of... things."
"And you said you were desperate for company, but you deliberately picked an island in the middle of nowhere to settle on? That doesn't make any sense."
>"Look I..." Another pause. "Hey your food is almost done can we talk about something else?"

And I thought neumono were bad at hiding things.

... At the same time, maybe it's not a good idea to provoke her right now.

>>778610
She's probably space-wanted by space-police. Or she stole something from the research station.

How about you just eat some food and offer to play a board game or something with her. She has entertainment stuff here, right?

Ok, ask her if she's sure the neumono specifically didn't want her to learn their language, or if they maybe just thought that she wouldn't be able to and wanted her to stop trying? Because, tell her this, she should know by now neumono are a little bit psychic with each other, and a lot of their native languages especially need that empathic reading to provide context. Like there are probably a bunch of words that could each mean lots of things and without having empathy herself she'd never be able to say them in a way that the neumono can actually tell what she's talking about.

Also, even if she doesn't want you leaving the island yet, you're going to assume she wouldn't mind you talking to the pygmies again at some point? Like not right away that'd be rude you'd still talk to her, but if you hung around with the pygmies maybe they'd let you learn their language, or they could pick up yours, and she'd have more people to talk to. Even just hanging around with them for a while would improve things because over time you'd learn to read their empathy better, and them yours, and become able to understand a lot even without learning the language.

Tell her that you're just glad right now that she's friendly, you don't have to talk about this anymore. You just got shot down out of the blue, you can understand being a bit paranoid around this island.

>>778610
Are you... hiding from the government or something? Did they shoot you down?

If you don't want me telling anyone you're here, that's okay, though it will making me calling for help more complicated.

So, uh, what have you been doing all by yourself out here, all this time?

How do you get out of here? That door looked too small for you.

Well it's not like we're in a hurry. I mean we'd be going home empty handed anyway. Why not just chill for a while and enjoy the company? We can poke at her past later.

So what would get you to trust me? Just... not betraying you for an extended period of time, I guess?
Perhaps I could woo you over a romantic dinner for two?

...or, you said you try to help the islanders. I guess I could do that...

>>778615
Basically this. And yeah she's probably wanted for something or other, but to be frank, I don't think we care at this point in time.

Still, don't press the issue, if only to keep things comfortable.

Shes' probably an escapee from the research station, which could possibly still be up and running and the guys who shot us down maybe?

Ask Chen how come nobody noticed this research station or her escape pod falling to the surface. Even twelve years ago it was long enough since Neumono's uplift that there'd be radar stations and surveillance satellites monitoring the planet. Especially those of the ultrahives to watch out for possible incoming nuclear ICBMs from each other. A UFO popping up on their screens out of nowhere would have brought an investigation, first into whether they had faulty equipment, then to where the UFO went.

Hey, wait... If she chose this island in particular for its remoteness, that probably means her escape pod did some form of visual mapping or sensor scan of the planet. And that means she likely has a map of the entire ocean, or at least a good chunk of it, and all the islands, including your home island and the place you bought the hovercraft from. Which means you could possibly figure out where you were shot down, based on the hovercraft's cruising speed, the time from when you left to when you were shot down and the presumption the autopilot took a straight line path back. And once you have the general area you were shot down in, you can find the nearest island and that's probably where the missile was launched from. ...Unless it was launched from a submarine or underwater base, but leave those possibilities on the shelf for now. Ask Chen if she has any maps of the planet, specifically the greater area around this island.

Oh, and you ought to tell Chen that you were shot down out of the blue by a guided missile while flying a used anti-grav hovercraft your hive had just purchased back to them. No idea who did it or why. You think it might have been someone that really didn't want to risk anybody noticing they were out here. ...Like Chen. ...Uh oh. Um. Don't jump to any conclusions, alright.

Maybe the pygmies are hiding there language because they work for the missile people and want to keep it hidden from big space lady here.

She probably has some sort of trauma in her past and is worried about you telling people about her if you leave.

Or even more sinister idea:

She knows if you go back home that people will eventually find out about her so she can never let you leave. The missile was sent by a enemy so that no one can ever rescue her. You will spend years trying to win her trust and slowly find out that you are trapped here. By that time you will have gone rogue and will spend all your time trying to regain your happiness by fucking pygmies.

>>778610
Well that's shady as fuck. Overlook it for now, getting her to trust us seems like a necessary prerequisite to getting home.

Maybe the pygmies think she's a salikai? Presumably they've been isolated on this island for quite some time but not forever, and I think it'd be obvious if a salikai was hiding here, so they might have some really old vague stories about giant green smart things that will trick you if you let them.

Can that replicator (or other available tools) make a replacement aircraft, comparable to the one that got shot down? Maybe with even some basic ECM, or a little point defense turret, just in case? It'd basically be toy-sized for her.

Maybe we can turn this around pretty quickly? She says she wants to trust us, so change the topic. Try to learn more about her. Find out what she likes to talk about. Comment on her size if you feel it would be a good ice breaker!

I mean, who wouldn't want to sleep curled up in someone's hands?

That's pretty shady. Say you'll drop the subject for now as long as it's nothing you have to worry about right now.

>Resarch station.
Wait, what if she's not a run away scientist? What if she's a run away research experiment and she's running from the scientists that created her?!

As a trust-building exercise, offer to seduce the pygmies into teaching you their language and gather information for Chen.

Seduction optional, no it isn't but it seems like Chen values information and she might appreciate a chance to learn stuff about the outside world, given how nervous she seems to be.

>What if she's a run away research experiment and she's running from the scientists that created her?!
>Shes' probably an escapee from the research station
Even if that's true, it seems like it would be a really bad idea to accuse her of that right now!

>Don't press the issue, if only to keep things comfortable.
>Why not just chill for a while and enjoy the company? We can poke at her past later.
Yeah, it's probably the right call to just move on for now. It's not like it really matters that much to me why she's here, right?

>Did they shoot you down?
... Oh, right.

I would really like to ask this but that would be pretty much the opposite of dropping it. Still, I have to be sure to bring it up as soon as it seems like she trusts me even a little, because that's one question I probably do need to know the answer to.

"... uh, sure."
>"Okay. Chtelki. Thank you." She's very visibly relieved. I don't think she could be telegraphing this any more if she tried.

>More questions
Still got plenty of those!

>the door
"How do you get out of here? That door looked way too small."
>"Oh um there are other doors I just put that exit in later in the hopes that maybe the pygmies would use it which didn't exactly work out."
>"I could probably fit through it without breaking it too much. I think."

>what do you do
"You said you'd been here for twelve years? What have you been doing all this time?"
>"Um... watching broadcasts I pick up... reading... building stuff sometimes... trying to interact with the neumono, lately... ... honestly it's been really despairingly lonely and I'm glad you're here."
>"Um I mean I'm not glad you got shot with a missile or whatever! Just to have someone to talk to for a while."

That was less of an answer than I was expecting.

>pygmy language
"So... the neumono here didn't want you to learn their language? Are you sure?"
>"They definitely started talking way less suddenly and it wasn't long after I started trying to listen for it so I don't know what else it could be or how I'd find out!"
"I mean, neumono have this... empathy thing..."
>"Look I've seen a bunch of neumono media so trust me I know all about that."
"Oh."

There's kind of a pause, during which she just sort of looks at me, a little puzzled.

>salikai
"Maybe they think you're a salikai?"
>"I... wait did you think I was a salikai?"
"I mean... you're way too big... but... kind of?"
>"Oh."

Another awkward pause.

>replicate an aircraft
"So could you make me an aircraft with that replicator so I can get home? Maybe with some kind of defenses?"
>"Um... I'd have to come up with a design for it first since I don't think I have one, but I would probably be able to do that since I kinda know my way around that sort of thing. I mean it'd take a while and there'd have to be testing and stuff to make sure I give you something that actually works and won't crash into the ocean or whatever."
>"... But um I'd want to be sure I could trust you before I did something like that!"

>trust
Yep, there it is again.
>Perhaps I could woo you over a romantic dinner for two?
Why am I even having this idea? I don't even know how exactly I would go about dating a neumono outside my hive, let alone a giant neurotic alien.
>Comment on her size if you feel it would be a good ice breaker!
If I completely run out of ideas, maybe. For all I know she's sensitive about it.
>I mean, who wouldn't want to sleep curled up in someone's hands?
I have immediate mixed feelings about this.

I don't think I can really just walk up and ask her "how do I get you to trust me" or whatever. That just seems weird.

>offer to seduce the pygmies into teaching you their language
Uh, I don't think I could do that even if I thought it would work.

Still...

"Um... you don't mind me going back and talking to the other neumono again, right?"
>"Why wouldn't I want you to do that? I mean maybe they'll actually trust you eventually and I'll be able to understand them better or maybe you'll even convince them they don't need to be afraid of me or something! ... But um since they deliberately sent you here for whatever reason maybe you should stay here for a while first, like until tomorrow or something."
"Um..."
>"... Also I'd really like to spend more time with someone I can actually have a conversation with. ... If you don't mind. ... Oh hey your food's almost done!"

She's giving me that awkward, nervous smile again.

>>792869
Ask if she's got any board games.

Spending a night with the lonely alien does not sound bad. Be friends with her and earn some trust.

Later on if we need press the issue of you getting home you can casually mention how much you miss your hive and how much work everyone put into earning enough money to buy that shuttle.

How being away from a hive long enough can make a guy go rogue and be miserable for the rest of his days.

For the moment avoid that sort of stuff but keep it handy if needed. If she is telling the truth there is someone else who has missiles around here you need to deal with before you can leave easily. And the local pygmy tribe might be up to something as well.

Thank her and start having a nice conversation. Over dinner, ask what sort of stuff she listens to and reads, mention your simulation hobby, request to be her combination pillow and sex toy, and ask if she has any games or whatever you can play together. You know, get to know her in general. She could probably use the company, learning about her will be useful, and who knows, she might end up being your type.

Say ok, and sorry that for your worries, but if she's been watching neumono media she must know you're on sort of a time limit. A pretty long one but still. And you'd at least like your hive to have a clue that you're not dead? It can be some mystery note in a bottle thing that doesn't give anything else away if she likes, just something. I mean, she must have had some people who she'd have liked to let know she was ok?

Then sit down to a nice meal together and start talking. Do you have a favourite show she might have seen, Koror? You could talk about it.

A boat, or well a ship, would be less likely to have things go catastrophically wrong than an aircraft of some sort.

Welp. Might as well make yourself at home. Ask if she has a couch.

Okay. Woo her over a regular dinner. For two.

>>792869
>>"... Also I'd really like to spend more time with someone I can actually have a conversation with. ... If you don't mind. ... Oh hey your food's almost done!"
Yeah I'm not going to run away immediately, I'm pretty sure the three outside already left. And the Queen was certainly upset over something when she had we dragged out here.

>>offer to seduce the pygmies into teaching you their language
>Uh, I don't think I could do that even if I thought it would work.
>Still...
You seem a lot more okay with that idea, buddy.

>>792868
>"Look I've seen a bunch of neumono media so trust me I know all about that."
Well good. That saves some time in explaining it.

...ask if that means she also knows about "going rouge". If she does, great! If she doesn't, then explain it to her. And then tell her that's why you're worried about being away from your hive for so long. You're on a time limit here and you're afraid of finally getting home, only to discover that you've gone rogue!

>>792869
>Oh hey your food's almost done!
Since she's a giant, the food might end up being giant sized instead of small enough for you to eat!

>She's very visibly relieved. I don't think she could be telegraphing this any more if she tried.
Which is odd considering she's an extra-dimensional alien, you'd assume you'd have a harder time understanding her. Unless she isn't actually from another dimension and was created here with neumono body language and expressions in mind, which would be an explanation that didn't break our current understanding of physics.

Ask if there's someplace more comfy than these metal and stone rooms that you can relax at.

>I don't even know how exactly I would go about dating a neumono outside my hive, let alone a giant neurotic alien.
The latter might actually be easier than the former, how acclimatized are you to extra-hive neumono?

>>792869
So, if she watches all kinds of broadcasts. it's possible she could maybe even have more of a finger on things than you do.

Maybe she's seen the latest episodes of that show you like but can't track down!

Shes been here alone for a long time man, if you want her trust then start by just keeping her company, keeping her entertained, offering her a fisting. Though I suppose in this case with the size difference it would have to be full body insertion.
So yea food. What are we having?

>>792869
Ask if she has any way to ahem "Relive herself" when it gets a bit too much to bare being alone.

>>793110
This, "purely" for science's sake of course.

>>792869
In all honesty, dude, she seems pretty nice. She's been through a rough patch; even with your time limit I'd like to think you can spare some time to just get friendly with her. She seems sweet, if a bit overly nervous. Girl just needs someone to talk to, like she said.

Have dinner, stay the night, keep it light.

Okay, so obviously your hormones are out of whack. And maybe you hit your head or something.

There's gotta be some explanation for all the sexual thoughts.

Still, you have willpower, resist them, but be aware that you are GOING to need some form of sexual release and someone to confide in about this stuff sooner or later -- so make plans to manage it!

I guess you thought my suggestions were too forward. Well, I guess you can always wait to answer her questions. Conversations are give-and-take, after all.

Just having casual dinner talk is a good way to break the ice.

Ask her if you should strip down too, so she feels comfortable. You don't want to make your host feel excluded.

>>792869
ask for a hug from one stranded person to another.

Tell us more about those media broadcasts. Did they include adult channels? I mean, did they include.. mating?

There is no harm chillin' here for a few days.
Honestly Koror, You could use the break.

Think about it. First you get shot down and almost drown, then you get stranded on an island and have an eye stung out, then you are subjected to a bunch of unfriendly pygmies... I mean come on man it's been non-stop for you. Give yourself some time to unwind and digest things before you go crazy. Meeting a friendly giant alien girl is the best thing to happen to you today. Roll with it.
