I probably shouldn't have stood in the middle of the stupidest trap I'd ever seen. But it had alien writing on the side, and I needed to know if really was as stupid as it looked.

They put me in glass cage, and transported me who-knows-where. For some reason, my cage was the only one installed with a white light.

One day, they threw me out of the cage.
"Ohcnocohe! Ncohe'ohc heoeococ c eohpnc ohc h!"
"Ncohe'ohc goepch oh hgcncochc hcohenh ohohc. Pgc oepgcoc'ohe ohchi ncohecoc pgcpe c pgc."
It hurt.

They cleaned me up a bit, and fed me something that made me happy for a little while.

They put me in front of a camera and put a bell around my neck.

They moved me somewhere else. Everything is so yellow! Have aliens not discovered cheap white lights?

I'm not sure what to do now. But I do have some clearcut facts:
I have enough space to comfortably stand up.
I have enough space to walk around.
I'm surrounded by alien animals.
the television on the wall has weird shapes on it.
there's a food bowl and a water bowl.
And the door out doesn't look too complicated.

You are part of a zoo or reality tv program.

There's a camera watching you now. Be wary of doing anything like opening the exit door. They might decide to put you somewhere else if they think you can escape easily.

While you're here, let's talk to the other animals. They look fun. Getting to know them would be a big help for your future plans.

...What are your future plans? What was your life like before you were abducted? Do you have friends or family waiting for you at home?

it looks like they want to study you, best way to stick it to them is to act as an outlier and throw off any generalizations they can make about your species. so... do something youd never dare to do! dance a jig! pretend you have never seen a door before!

Hmm, the text isn't a simple cipher.
Both this and the food bowl have words with characters divisible by two, so that implies symbols translate via pairs, but that's not quite enough to figure it out easily. The food bowl should read "food", surely, yet the two middle pairs are different. Heck, ALL the symbols are different, if the two moon symbols aren't the same. The thickness of the crescent is noticeably different between the two, and the writing on the box has the first moon symbol very thin compared to the following ones, just like the moons on the food bowl.
Anyway, I'm guessing it's not meant to be cracked, unless I'm missing something.

>>1133467
Oh dear, this looks like a real conlang. Potentially translatable if we get enough repeated words with attached context clues.

>>1133472
Do you have much reason to escape? Like, do you have anything important back at home? Life as a pet can be pretty good if you get a good owner.

Have a taste of the food to see if you like it. Then check the television; do the shapes change at all? The more you learn about these aliens before trying to escape, the better your chances are. Especially since they'll increase security after the first failure.

Hmm, do the shapes on the television remind you of the aliens' faces at all?

You are being treated like a pet or dumb animal more than an intelligent/sapient being, and possibly being used for entertainment.

You can either play along with this, of flaunt your sapience/intelligence.

Intelligent actions:
- Find a reflective surface and make it clear you recognize your reflection. Inspect yourself for anyting weird they did (like your mask).
- Try to clean your mask (what significance does the mask have for you?).
- Try to remove your collar with something sharp rather than simply tugging it off. Or remove just the bell.
- Make a show of discomfort/distaste for the bright yellow light.
- Try to read the writing on the bowl or associate it to other writing present.
- Exercise a bit to pass time.
- Pet the... Bird... Thing?
- Eat food with an implement or tool rather than your bare hands. No need to be unhygenic, and who knows what diseases these aliens might have.
- See if there is anything to write with and isolate the symbols. Ypu can later see if the aliens can speak the symbols individually and then you can write it in your own script, and establish a mutual alphabet.

Insidiously stupid money-making scheme. What goes on in the heads of people with no fear of being eaten by the strange monsters they captured? And what goes on in the heads of the suckers who buy them?

Smash camera.
