 Humans are Weird – Sleep State


Dim red spectrum light, a concession to the few but increasing human guests the hive hosted, lit the round corridors of the hive’s storage dens. A few roots, too thick to be easily trimmed wandered down the walls and spread over the floor. Second Cousin easily lifted her feet over these as she noted the marks carved over each door. She finally saw what she was looking for, the symbol for warmth and comfort modulate with the symbol for membranes. She put her hand out to brush aide the hanging barrier and entered the inner room of the storage den.
Inside the crowded room she examined the pile of absorbent materials, pollen covers, and thermal insulation with a critical curl to her antenna. She glanced over the rows and worked her mandible.
“Blankets,” she said softly. “A quarter the length longer than the human and about a tenth of his mass.”
The human in question, one First Plant Geneticist, had willingly submitted his bio-metrics to the hive medic before arriving so this decision should not be that difficult. She paced down the shelves passing rags, dab towels, and shrouds without really noticing them. She reached the larger thermal covers that First Father had commissioned for their human guests. She reached out and touched a dark mass of fabric and snatched back her hand with a click of annoyance.
It felt like the bark of one of the oil producing trees, dense and slightly slick like dried sap. Second Cousin was interrupted by the sound of quick, light footsteps scampering down the corridor. In a few moments the barrier swished apart and two chittering children came tumbling in.
“Not that one!” Fifth Sister called out. “That one is a ground tarp!”
“It’s for sleeping outside of the hive when scouting,” Fourth Cousin announced, obviously proud of her information.
“You must be the help that Second Mother sent me,” Second Cousin said, feeling her frill flutter with amusement.
“Yes! We are here to help you!” Fifth Sister said. “The blanket you want will be heavy. We can help you carry it.”
“First we need to find the thermal insulation,” Second Cousin said.
“The humans call it a blanket!” Fourth Cousin said. “Pick a soft one!”
“That follows the humans’ vines,” Second Cousin agreed.
“We will feel the bottom rows,” Fifth Sister said, “you feel the top rows.”
She walked along, her nerves relieved by the presence of her cousins. Their chattering was an enjoyable contrast to the muted dimness of the storage dens. Her fingers traced over the soft surface of a natural fabric.
“I have found a soft one,” she announced. “Treated seed transport fibers.”
Her cousins eagerly ran up to her as she tugged the blanket down and jumped back as it fell with a thump.
Fifth Sister gathered up one end in her arms and strained to lift it up.
“It’s heavy,” she exclaimed.
“We will have to work in unison,” Second Cousin informed them.
She found the middle of the blanket and lifted the greater portion of the weight. It was heavier than she expected and she was relieved when Fifth Sister and Fourth Cousin took their respective ends.
“Now we take it to the human?” Fourth Cousin asked.
“He is called First Plant Geneticist,” Fifth Sister corrected.
“Walk carefully now,” Second Cousin reminded them. “Step high over the roots.”
The passed through the barrier and worked their way down the corridor. Second Cousin felt relieved when the stepped out into the dim morning light of the garden.
“Is the human going to be away yet?” Fifth Sister asked. “Second Father says that humans are very tied to the sun and that they aren’t always aware early in the morning.”
“I checked his schedule,” Second Cousin assured her. “He should be coming aware just as we arrive.”
The two younger cousins kept chattering as they passed through the garden and into the guest quarters. The squat square buildings the humans preferred still looked very alien to Second Cousin and she couldn’t help twitching a bit as she stepped up the stairs and into the structure. Fifth Sister, in the lead, used a foot to open the door to First Plant Geneticist’s bedroom and they trooped in with the heavy blanket.
“Wha-” First Plant Geneticist sat up suddenly from the bizarre supine position he rested in and narrowed his strange fleshy eyes at them. “Huh?”
“We brought you that heavy blanket you said you wanted yesterday!” Fifth Sister announced, dropping her end on the floor with a thump.
“Blanket?” the human asked, now blinking his eyes.
“It will make you more comfortable when you sleep!” Fourth Cousin announced scampering up to his raised platform bed.
“Right,” the human said slowly running his eyes along the blanket spread out on the floor.
“What is wrong with your face First Plant Geneticist?” Fifth Sister suddenly asked.
He blinked at her in confusion.
“Fifth Sister!” Second Cousin said her frill stiffening with horror.
“What?” Fifth Sister demanded. “His face membrane is all droopy. First Teacher said that means humans are sad.”
She tilted her head and stared at him.
“Do you miss your hive?” she demanded.
“I am sorry,” Second Cousin interjected. “Fifth Sister is still very young-”
“It’s okay,” the human said, his voice growing more clear. “I have a little sister back home too.”
He pulled back the fleshy coverings of his mandibles and exposed his blunt white teeth as he focused on Fifth Sister.
“I am a little sad,” he admitted. “It is very clever of you to be able to tell that from looking at my face.”
“Why are you sad?” Fourth Cousin demanded. “You you miss your sister?”
“Well,” the human said, opening his mouth in a gaping gesture as he drew in a deep breath of air. “I do miss my Second Sister, but-” he paused as he swung his long thick legs over the side of the bed. “That’s not why I look sad this morning. Thanks for the blankets.”
He bent down and lightly picked up the massive blanket with one hand and tossed it on the bed.
“Why are you sad?” Fifth Sister demanded.
“I had a sad dream,” First Plant Geneticist said.
“But it was just a dream?” Fourth Cousin asked, tilting her triangular head to the side. “The things human have where you see things that aren’t real while you sleep?”
“Yeah,” the human said with another gaping gesture of his mouth.
“What did you see?” Fifth Sister demanded.
Second Cousin was aghast at their rudeness, but couldn’t deny she was curious too.
“I can’t remember,” the human admitted.
“How can you be sad about that something that wasn’t real that you don’t remember?” Fourth Cousin demanded.
The human blinked at her a few long moments and then burst out laughing.
“I don’t know,” he admitted. “It is one of the great mysteries of life. Look, thanks for the weighted blanket but I need to get dressed now.”
“What are you going to wear today?” Fourth Cousin asked.
“We will help you get dressed!” Fifth Sister announced.
The human’s skin flushed read and while Second Cousin didn’t exactly know what that color meant in a human she doubted it was anything good.
“We will not help him get dressed!” She said firmly. “We are leaving now!”
The younger two protested, but they did have other tasks to attend to and the human shot Second Cousin a grateful smile as she herded them out into the garden.
“Stop being sad about fake stuff soon!” Fifth Sister called out as they left. “That’s just silly!”
“I will!” the human assured them as he closed the door.

Humans are Weird - What I Saw

 Humans are Weird – What I Saw



Twistsfirmly hummed quietly to himself, enjoying the resonance that the massive medical pool sent washing back over his appendages as he worked. He had balanced his appendage between bracing his mass against the nicely textured sides of the pool and the half-dozen or so abrasion brushes he was working over the sides. The soft evening light the humans called golden hour filtered through the skylights and the mineral rich water to fall on the mineral surface of the healing pool. The human melody he was sounding out had a pulsing rhythm that went well with the work and it wasn’t long before it caught the attention of his coworker and Prodsuneasily submerged his leading end into the healing pool.
“What is that song?” he asked curiously.
“I don’t know the sound name of it,” Twistsfirmly said with a cheerful wriggle of his lagging end, “however the context is a collection of lower caste humans enjoying themselves in a warm shallow body of water with music and food.”
“It sounds delightful,” Prodsuneasily observed.
The other Undulate fell silent and watched his colleague adding the fresh therapeutic abrasions to the sides of the pool. Twistsfirmly politely increased the volume of his humming and Prodsuneasily let his appendages dangle further into the pool to enjoy the alien melody. After a few rounds of the refrain his coworker sounded him again.
“What has prompted this maintenance?”
Prodsuneasily gestured at the freshly abraded surfaces of the pool.
“O, you know how it is,” Twistsfirmly said with a depreciating wave of a lagging appendage. “It’s been so long since the last time a human had a session and they have such poor traction on these artificial surfaces. When a patient comes to me for treatment I find it rather unprofessional to send them up from the pool floor with worse injuries than they came in with.”
Prodsuneasily gave an appropriately amused full core ripple at the jest and bobbed his leading end in sympathy. A human’s near legendary instability in anything but a fully limp and flat position was both a disturbing reality and a source of near endless entertainment.
“You know they have a running cultural joke about that,” Prodsuneasily observed.
“Do they?” Twistsfirmly asked.
“Yes,” Prodsuneasily went on. “It involves the outer membrane of a domestic mutant being left on the floor and a human approaching it in a state of near pure internal focus. The assumption is that they human will step on the membrane and then proceed to entertain their fellows with a display of regaining their standard balance. I believe the humor is increased by the fact that this particular fruit reflects light in the range that is easiest for humans to see so it is even more of an indictment of the human’s spatial awareness that they don’t respond to it.”
“Did that joke exit in their culture before their contact with us?” Twistsfirmly asked.
“For centuries before,” Prodsuneasily assured him. “I was privileged enough to see a display of the various manifestations of the joke at an art gallery. Mostly two dimensional presentations but one of the local art students had carved a representation of the joke out of soap stone.”
“How thoughtful of them, take my abraders will you?” Twistsfirmly requested.
Prodsuneasily reached out for them and helped him out of the pool.
“So why are you doing this now?” Prodsuneasily asked again.
“Human Friend Freddy will be coming in for a muscular strain session this evening,” Twistsfirmly said.
Prodsuneasily shifted his bracing appendages in confusion.
“I did not feel Human Friend Freddy on the patient list,” Prodsuneasily said as he hefted his share of the brushed and started moving towards the storage cupboard.
“That is because Human Friend Freddy has not made an appointment,” Twistsfirmly said.
“Friend Twistsfirmly,” Prodsuneasily began, “you know I do not approve of Shatar style ambush medical sessions…”
Twistsfirmly positively writhed with amusement.
“I assure you that this is not an ambush session,” he said, dismissing the idea with a flick of a lagging appendage. “This is – a little help here – a yearly tradition with a conditional timing element. Neither of us know when the session will be needed until certain conditions have been met. Those conditions were met as of the ninth hour of the solar day.”
Prodsuneasily climbed up on Twistsfirmly’s dorsal side and used the increased leverage to pull a long, soft foam rod out of the bin. It was rather covered in dust and in cleaning it off as he followed Twistsfirmly back to the medical pool he realized that there was a banner with human writing on it wrapped around the rod.
“What are the conditions?” Prodsuneasily asked.
“Human Friend Freddy goes out with the internal combustion powered crystal saw for the first time in the spring to begin clearing the walking paths of the winter’s fallen growth and spends more than an hour using it,” Twistsfrimly said. “Now Human Friend Freddy is just coming in, and will leave the saw in the external shed for Human Friend Gregory to preform basic maintenance on. For some reason the basic care of the machine is never forgotten.”
That puzzling statement was said with an almost irritated set to his appendages. Prodsuneasily was pondering this odd behavior on his colleague's part when Twistsfirmly took the foam rod with a polite gesture of gratitude.
“You sound,” Twistsfirmly said. “Because the humans do no, or very little saw work over the winter storm season their trained muscles fibers loose strength and flexibility. Now a human should carefully ease back into using the wire saws gradually, a few hours a day at most until they have rebuilt their muscle density.”
“But Human Friend Freddy really likes using the saw,” Prodsuneasily observed, beginning to sound the depths.
“Human Friend Freddy really likes using the saw and considers it mandatory mental health self care,” Twistsfirmly stated. “Not one spring has sounded Human Friend Freddy expressing proper caution and self-control in this matter. There is no reason to suspect that this year will be any different. So we have agreed that I will prepare the proper medical/social reaction to counter act the damage she has done to her muscles and then I will give her a gentle reminder to attend.”
There was a series of vibrations that indicated a human arriving at the secondary door and this drew Twistsfirmsly’s attention away from their conversation.
“Please begin warming the pool to the maximum human settings,” Twistsfirmly requested.
The Undulate dropped down to the floor and carrying the foam rod over his central mass he shuffled quickly across the floor to the door and out into the hall where he positioned himself in the center of the walkway. He lifted a good third of his mass up off the ground bracing the rest of his appendages firmly on the floor and held the rod in his gripping appendages high above the ground.
Prodsuneasily observed all this with fascination. Just then the human in question came around the corner and Twistsfirmly began flailing the rod wildly around. It was just long enough that despite Twistsfirmly’s complete inability to aim the blows it was quite impossible for any human to pass but without receiving a stout blow to the shins. This is in fact what happened, as oblivious to the flailing Undulates as the air pieces had been to the fruit membranes Human Friend Freddy walked right into the foam rod and it connected with the human’s shins with an oddly satisfying thunk. This brought a silence that made Prodsuneasily realize that Human Friend Freddy had been humming the
Human Friend Freddy glanced down in surprise, the human’s face was coated in sweat and crystal dust, and even bore some minor outer membrane abrasions, but the human’s colors surged with fiber long pleasure even if it was coated with fatigue.
“Yo Twizzler,” the human greeted her friend. “Our yearly spine realignment session. Right, you get the hot tub ready and prepare to yoink my bones around a bit. I’ll just-”
To Prodsuneasily’s shock Twistsfirmly began flailing the rod again and the human danced backwards, bursting out with a laugh.
“All right, all right, lay off with the stupid stick Twizzler,” Human Friend Freddy said, waving her hand to dismiss the assault. “I’m headed for the shower in your office now, no detours where I might fall asleep, no excuses.”
The human turned and entered the office, reached out to pat Prodsuneasily in greeting without breaking pace and disappeared into the cleansing rooms. Twistsfirmly was shuffling back towards the medial pool with a distinctly satisfied set to his appendages, the foam rod trailing behind him. Prosduneasily noted the words more carefully now.
Get in the hot tub Human Friend Idiot, was written in large print.
“Twistsfrimly,” Prodsuneasily began, taking care not to sound accusatory. “Is this strictly professional behavior?”
“Perhaps not,” Twistsfirmly admitted, “but I’ll be stuck in a coral before I spend another week watching some idiot human hobble around like they were half frozen because they failed to do basic maintenance on their muscle fibers again.”
“Besides,” Twistsfirmly said, dropping the foam rod and climbing onto the pool to wait for his patient, “I’ve yet to meet a human who didn’t find getting thwhacked with a foam rod amusing.”

 Humans are Weird - Confrontation


The warm sandy floor of the base slid under Commander Gudeon’s belly scutes as he sniffed down the corridor looking for whatever officer fulfilled the rank of base psychologists. The artificial radiation generators that provided both visible light and their ultraviolet needs made the sand and the rock of the walls sparkle warmly, invitingly. These hallways invited one to linger. They were a far cry from the unnaturally smooth flooring the humans preferred. Commander Gudeon felt, not for the first time, a roll of gratitude in his stomachs that the bipeds didn’t mind the sand flooring too much and only insisted on a few critical areas being slick enough to not interfere with their walking patterns. His thoughts cycled round to his primary goal and he sniffed the air, confirming that his target was in the next room. He pushed open the bizarrely tall door and nosed into the room.
“Medical Officer Garners,” Commander Gudeon began his sentence carefully, respectfully only to have it cut off like an impertinent weed.
“No!” Medical Officer Garners snapped, clicking his teeth together with an entirely unnecessary display of aggression.
Commander Gudeon blinked slowly at him and pondered his next move. The issue at claw was not one he felt he could ignore. Quite frankly he doubted anyone on the base, including the other humans, could ignore the massive biped swaying back and forth across the communications hub.
“No?” Commander Gudeon settled on a simple interrogative.
Medical Officer Garners had been on this base nearly since it’s inception. He had seen every one of the crew arrive and was solely responsible for their health. It would be both foolish and impertinent to question his judgment. A blatant display of a strong desire to learn however might both satisfy his uneasy curiosity and placate the medical officer’s clear irritation at the interruption.
Medical Officer Garners sighed and rubbed his clenched claws over his eye-ridges.
“No,” he said, but in a calmer tone and with no teeth clashing. “There are no aerial predators circling the base.”
Commander Gudeon blinked again as he tried to process that. Before he could respond Medical Officer Garners heaved an even deeper sigh and went on.
“I have checked and double checked the readouts. I had security check the readouts. I sent our keenest eyed human, that would be-” he checked a note he had scratched down beside his terminal, “Private Hersh around the mountain peak to check for aerial predators. Twice.”
Medical Officer Garners glared at Commander Gudeon defiantly as if expecting him to demand yet another scan and fully prepared to refuse to do one.
“Very well,” Commander Gudeon said slowly, cautiously, “that in the bin for the moment, I had a personnel question.”
It was now Medical Officer Garners turn to blink, and his glittering old eyes made the action more than a little comical. Commander Gudeon had to fight back an amused flick of his tongue. Whatever was itching the medical officer’s scales it wouldn’t do to antagonize the older and more experienced officer. Especially as this was Commander Gudeon’s first week on the new base. With a more tired sigh Medical Officer Garners gave a brief nod.
“What is your question?” he asked.
“I want to know what is distressing Private Evans,” he stated. “She is-”
“Pacing up and down the communications hub, yes, yes,” Medical Officer Garners said with a sigh. “I don’t know if I should be glad that you didn’t just lick the assumption about the flying predators or disturbed that you didn’t know that was a likely possibility yet.”
“But you just assured me that there were no flying-” Commander Gudeon began, more than a little confused.”
“Yes, yes,” Medical Officer Garners snapped, “but there might have been. You need to be mindful of that.”
“I believe that is the purpose of the armor we wear when we go out?” Commander Gudeon hazarded. “The scales with the spikes on the back, but I was inside all morning-”
“Private Evans is preparing for a confrontation with a superior officer,” Medical Officer Garners interjected. “The pacing, that lumbering back and forth like she is going to fall over is how she personally expends the excess stress hormones in order to calm herself enough to preform the stressful task.”
His piece said the medical officer turned back to whatever task he had been doing. Commander Gudeon ground that mass of information over in his teeth, setting the disturbing prevalence of avians large enough to eat you to the side for the moment. That was why they had humans after all.
“Is there some situation on the base that she finds unsafe?” he asked.
Medical Officer Garners glared at him a moment and then clicked his teeth in a negative.
“Did this superior offend her in any way?” Commander Gudeon tried again.
“She is applying for a merit based promotion,” Medical Officer Garners cut in.
Commander Gudeon frowned.
“Does the comman-” he began.
“The commanding officer has a perfectly smooth relationship with Private Evans,” Medical Officer Garners stated. “It is past due time that she applied for this promotion. It is nearly a given that she will receive the promotion. She is doing so at the explicit recommendation of various ranking officers. There is every reason to believe that the confrontation will be perfectly acceptable to both humans.”
“Then why is Private Evans-” Commander Gudeon tried to ask, but Medical Officer Garners whipped around and shoved his nostrils forcibly against the commander’s.
“I. Don’t. Know!” Medical Officer Garners snapped out.
Commander Gudeon crept back just a scale’s width and was relieved at least to see that Medical Officer Garners looked a little embarrassed. Commander Gudeon cleared his sinuses a bit too loudly.
“But you imply that her behavior has convinced the rest of the base that they are in danger of being eaten by predators,” he said, a shaft clicking into a gear in his mind.
“Her stress indicators are apparently the same for murderous avains and promotion interviews,” Medical Officer Garners stated with an exasperated flick of his tail.
“Should we confront her on the disturbance?” Commander Gudeon asked.
“That is your snort,” Medical Officer Garners stated. “I will say that this is her recognized stress coping mechanism and the deadline for submission is in a few hours so we shouldn’t have to deal with this for long.”
Commander Gudeon thought back to the sound of the pacing human’s footfalls filling the communications hub and gave a long sigh of his own. Medical Officer Garners gave a dry rattling chuckle.
“Welcome to a mixed species base hatching,” he said. “Settle in soon.”

What does it mean when your human friend says “Watch This?”? Why does this simple phrase seem to terrify any alien that has first appendage experience with humans? #HFY #HumansAreWeird #HumansAreSpaceOrcs #EarthIsADeathWorld #EarthIsSpaceAustralia


Hey! The books are moving well on Amazon and now have 180 reviews and ratings! If you bought the book and enjoyed it, it would really help me out if you leave a quick star rating on Amazon. A review would be great but just stars would be a huge boost *****!
​

QUICK NOTE: RE: everyone who asked. The book is avaliable in Amazon regions US-UK-DE-FR-ES-IT-NL-JP-BR-CA-MX-AU-IN. HOWEVER The above link only takes you to the US Amazon site. The one indicated by the .com ending. If it says "not avaliable in your country" that just means that you need to click over to your Amazon region.



Of course if you want a signed first edition you can email me at the email on my website and I can ship you a signed Author copy of the first edition for the same price as the crowdfunding campaign $35 domestic and $60 overseas. I'll do that until I run out of extra books.

Humans are Weird - Victory

 Humans are Weird – Victory


Notes the Passing Changes carefully observed the angle of the sunbeams that warmed the leaf-litter of his main mass. As soon as the angle passed thirty degrees from the horizon the larger motile species would be released from their duties in the College research outpost. He would have to have recalled at least forty percent of his working tendrils before that time if he wanted to avoid both disturbing them with his efforts and losing a percentage of his tendrils to crush or tear damage.
He calculated the amount of iron rich leaves he had pulled over the north quarter of the orchard. That process was going slower than he had anticipated. The iron rich leaves from the native trees had the exact mass the Shatar expedition had calculated, however Notes the Passing Changes had grossly overestimated how fast he could move them with his tendrils.
The decayed general biomass he was gathering for his winter’s dormancy was coming along much faster. The leaves and sticks skittered over the surface of the detritus layer quickly, however he was losing a significant portion to wind.
With a half satisfied sigh Notes the Passing Changes shifted his attention to making sure the walking paths for the ground based sapients were clear of derbies and began shifting tendrils together to from his socialization mass. As was the trend of things since his spore forms had landed on this planet he found himself eager to interact with the lumber humans, the skittering Shatar, and the undulating Undulates. He appreciated the many and diverse tree plants the other species had gifted him with. Those rare moments when a human would pause and mulch with him were delightful in ways he had never experienced before. However he also found himself regretting the quiet seasons he had lived on the planet alone before the others had arrived. He had had so much time to arrange every element of his well known, albeit simplistic, systems and then to ponder over all the changes he observed. Now, he hadn’t time to finish one alteration before a human was suggesting, or inadvertently causing another. Their constant habit of adding nitrogen to the system without though or reason was particularly aggravating.
“Still, this is the price one pays for sapient company,” Notes the Passing Changes stated as he practiced using his vocal tendrils.
The steady double beat of approaching humans vibrated through the ground and Notes the Passing Changes arranged his biomass into a pleasant expression. Shiny green leaves for eyes. A movable opening for a mouth. He flexed the cable like tendrils he formed for gripping and lifting in the rudimentary arms he was able to form. He wasn’t really as skilled as his progenitors on his last world had been. He had faint memories of a line relative who had been able to make a very realistic Shatar form out of sticks and had even managed to match their pheromones. However he found that the humans local to this planet appreciated his “mulch monster” form as they called it. Though there was some debate among the local population if there was anything actually pleasant about his appearance, or if the local children having grown up with it were simply desensitized to any horror.
“Hey Notes!” an eager voice called out. “Are the apples ready?”
Notes the Passing Changes carefully rotated his body and waved one of his “arms” at the two approaching humans.
Sandy and Pat were a young pair of the local population who, according to their seniors, had just initiated the primary human courtship ritual. The frequently came to wander and mulch in his main orchard and Notes the Passing Changes had grown quite fond of them both.
“Yes,” he confirmed, lifting the corners of his “mouth” in a smile. “There is one tree on the south side of the orchard near the storage shed that has many human ripe apples.”
“How is your early windfall collection going?” Pat asked as they passed his main body with a nod.
“Quite well,” Notes the Passing Changes said, sending his voice to follow them as he slowly shifted his main mass. “I am distributing the sugars to the Shatar beanpod vines.”
“That should give them a good start on next year,” Sandy observed.
“Hopefully by using the excess fruit sugars I will be able to harvest the beanpods next year,” Notes the Passing Changes said as he sent his voice along with them.
He intended to follow along with his main mass however Fifth Botanist came trotting down a path chittering frantically about the zinc content of the nursery gardens. The head horticultural expert from University was striding along in the north quadrant and Notes the Passing Changes was fairly sure he had missed something important about drainage in the north fields once the surface water froze over. A scamper of human children were frolicking dangerously close to a nest of tender saplings. Notes the Passing Changes weighed his priorities. His decision made he hunkered his main mass down and sent the majority of his attention over to frolic with the children. The horticultural expert seemed to need to talk, and Fifth Botanist only needed his voice to guide him to the proper herb beds.
By the time he had exhausted the children with leaf piles, far away from the tender saplings, Fifth Botanist had gathered his herbs and the horticultural expert had wandered out of his hearing. Several dozen more beings had arrived of course but none of them appeared to need more than a fraction of his attention and he happily pulled his tendrils back to his main biomass and began the steady shuffle to the south where Pat and Sandy appeared to be rearranging the contents of the storage shed rather than mulching contentedly as he had expected. Notes the Passing Changes felt his curiosity quicken as he drew near.
Sandy had apparently left the orchard, from the vibrations in the ground at no slow pace, and Pat was dropping heavy things in the dense leaf-litter around the tree with the ripest apples. Notes the Passing Changes was aware of what Pat was doing. There were the crates used to ship large quantities of undamaged apples. There was the old ladder. However it wasn’t until Pat was actively climbing the pile of equipment that Notes the Passing Changes felt a qualm of uneasy. He didn’t know much about structural integrity. He was far from being the physics expert his line relative of the Shatar shape was, but he was fairly certain that the loose leaf litter was not a stable base for any structure.
Therefore he was hardly surprised when, just as Pat reached the levels of the middling branches, the whole structure toppled over. Pat fell into the leaf mulch with a yelp, the majority of the human’s mass disappearing under the soft mass. Notes the Passing Changes finally made his way up the to legs and arms sticking out of the detritus and considered the situation. His tendrils under the leaves told him that Pat was breathing evenly and Pat’s heart-rate was gradually slowing down to its normal pace. Pat’s hormone profile tasted of triumph and adrenaline with faint and dissipating traces of panic.
Notes the Passing Changes heaved his mass up, and extended a poking stick from his arm. He arranged his face leaves into a concerned expression and gently prodded Pat’s center of mass with the stick.
Pat twitched.
“Sandy said I wouldn’t be able to get it!” Pat burst out in a rush.
“What did Sandy say you would not be able to get?” Notes the Passing Changes asked.
There was a rustle in the leaves as Pat punched a hand up out of the leaf-mulch. Hormones flushed with pride and triumph, the human displayed the particularly human ripe apple to Notes the Passing Changes face.
“And where is Sandy?” Notes the Passing Changes asked.
“Sandy went to get the tall picking ladder,” Pat explained. “I can’t wait to show this when Sandy gets back!”
“I see,” Notes the Passing Changes said. “Do you require assistance altering your position?”
There was a long moment as Pat’s pheromones began to be touched with pain signals.
“Nah,” Pat finally said. “I’ll just mulch here till Sandy gets back.”
