Final edit! Holy freakin canolli! When I woke up this morning I did not expect to become anonymously famous. I cannot believe the amount of support and well wishing I've recieved. I feel truly blessed today. I feel loved. If I managed to imprint that feeling on even 1 other human today then this was a massive win. I had quite a few people take me up on the offer, ranging from single parents, disabled people, families with hungry kids, blue collar people just having a rough go of it, you name it. True representation of this community. We are everyone and this put a stamp of fact on that. I had the idea but without the IMMENSE support of the THOUSANDS of apes pushing that updoot and making those in need feel comfortable enough to ask, this would have just gotten buried down the feed and missed the people it was intended for. Every single one of you who hit upvote and commented are the TRUE HEROES. This was a crazy idea and even crazier to do alone, but it's the crazy, the wild, the dreamers that bring change. THOUSANDS OF YOU, MADE THIS HAPPEN. I am humbled beyond belief. I'm struggling to find words for how whole I feel tonight knowing I am a part of this community. God bless you all. I am repeating this offer tommorow all day. I will make another post in the morning and I will need another show of force to help get the visibility again! I managed to make around 30-40 meals tonight. Less than I wanted and so much more than I could have expected. I'm tired, but invigorated. It's my turn to eat and to rest. Goodnight from the true north strong and free.

Hello, toronto chef ape here! Tough times and the squeeze ain't squoze for Christmas.

I own a small resto in the gta area and I'd like to offer a Christmas dinner to anyone in need tonight. I can't offer much in the way of luxury, but hot, home cooked food is a guarantee. Some pasta some meat some bread some veggies. Please don't be embarrassed to reach out. I may ask for a little proof your in actual need and not just being greedy but I want to help 1 or more families have a better night. The holidays have been good to me and I'd like to give back to a community that wouldn't hesitate to give to me. Also if you are feeling generous and would like to contribute to the cause, it would be appreciated. I can help tonight as well as

This technically happened yesterday but I (23/F) couldn't post till today because I was so mortified I was crying about it when it happened so please forgive me.

So for Christmas I got a gift card for my favorite fast food pizza joint the next state over. Usually it's a trip reserved for Friday nights but I convinced my mom to bring me last night. I had also recently been trying to use a bit of makeup because my hair is short and I want to feel pretty and feminine.

Everything was going well, me and mom were getting along, I was able to order my extra cheesy Alfredo specialty pizza even though it was no longer on the menu, life was good.

Once I got to the place the rather cute guy running the register informed me that it would be out shortly. Cue the start of an elaborate FU that shows my life in a nutshell;

I decided that I would casually slip the guy my number on a napkin once he gave me the pizza and play the shy-girl-runs-off cliche.

I slipped him the note being careful not to throw it at him (that has also happened before and no, the guy didn't call me that time either) and went to make my exit.

Due to me being an extremely anxious person and very nervous about the whole thing (I was shaking as if I was robbing the joint instead of giving a guy my number) I stumbled and the pizza began to wobble. It then hit the doorframe just right as I attempted to save it and the pizza fell cheese face down on the ground. Mind you, it had just come out of the oven and thus the molten cheese slipped off the slices and into a hot mess on the floor.

The guy didn't notice for a second as I bumble to try to do something, anything to save a shred of dignity and then I hear "miss, are you ok? Omg, I'll make you a new one on the house!"

Now me being me I felt the need to try to clean the mess and began the futile task of scooping the slices back into the box and taking a napkin from my pocket to try to clean the goopy cheese on the floor.

The guy continued to say he would clean in, please don't burn your hands, I'll make you a new one, etc. but I was near tears at this point and just tried to laugh and quickly told him goodnight and ran out the door to burst into tears in my mom's car.

Unsurprisingly I haven't heard from him and now won't at all because I changed my number for unrelated reasons. I am NOT going back there for a very long time for all the pizza in the world.

TL;DR: Tried to act shy and cute in front of the pizza guy only to spectacularly drop my

I am not the OOP. Originally posted by u/bigboobedgf44 6 years ago in r/relationships.

Trigger warning: >!Mentions an eating disorder.!<

Original:

Roommate himself is 23m.

We have a very quiet and comfortable living situation. I lived with Troy (roommate) for about a year before Hannah (gf) moved in. It was an unexpected permanent move rather than temporary, but everyone gets along, and in fact Troy and I are closer because Hannah is the type of girl who is very outgoing and brings quiet, shy people out of their shells.

Hannah's breasts are very large. They seem even larger than they may be due to the fact that Hannah is only 4'11. She jokes that she's 2/3 boob, even. Her biggest bras say 32K, the smallest say 32GG. She's typically modest with them, as she doesn't enjoy a lot of male attention. Not that I try to, but if I were to ask her to wear something "revealing" I don't even know that she'd have anything in her closet. She typically takes off her bra in the evening. Troy usually stays in his room and doesn't really socialized with us most of the time (no negativity, he's just a loner type, any time he does come out we all chat happily). There's never been any complaint about her bralessness.

For the record, I can definitely say Hannah isn't Troy's physical type. She's a size 16, and he has a big preference for very skinny women. Not "fit" but just very skinny. So I honestly doubt he's looked at Hannah in any sexual way to begin with -- not to mention, like I said, she's generally modest and doesn't have them flopping around or anything.

Troy and his gf (Jenna) are a new thing of the past 4 months. He's brought her over and we all hung out, and Jenna and Hannah got along extremely well. But a few days after, Jenna sent Hannah a message on FB asking her if she'd mind wearing a bra when Troy was around -- citing that it was inappropriate and kind of sleazy.

Hannah just shrugged it off and said sure, why not. So to compromise, she started weary a very flimsy sports bra. Things seemed like they were fine until Jenna came over again, and Hannah just happened to be coming home from the gym, was walking between our bedroom and the bathroom without a bra on (but was otherwise clothed). Jenna lost her shit and started yelling at Troy about this, and then called Hannah a tramp, a sleaze, etc. S

Here's a trenta rant for all you lovelies. Today I had to call off because my child is sick with confirmed covid. We both have the same symptoms. We did at home tests yesterday and they both came out negative. Today my child was tested at school and sent home with a confirmed test. We both have fevers and we both are sick sick. I immediately told my boss and I was told of the situation with Starbucks not allowing me to quarantine without a positive test. got my shift covered. But told me until I have a positive test I will not be paid and I will be considered as calling out without reason. I called my primary care doctor. I can't get a test until I talk to a doctor on Friday by appointment so that the doctor can order the test. I scheduled it. I checked Walgreens and CVS no appointment available until a week from now for both tests. Starbucks does not accept at home tests, not like I could find one locally anyways since they are always sold out. My boss got my shift covered until next week and seems upset with me. Idk what to do. I'm sick with covid and I was expected to come in. I can't get a test because covid is surging. This is forcing people who are sick to come in with covid and serve people food and drink. I'm not upset at my boss. My boss is actually decent. But I'm already behind on rent by a week and now I don't see how I can pay it. I will not get paid at all. I have covid and I'm fucked. So just know there are people at work serving you while sick. Covid has been running through our store for weeks and nothing is being done. They need to do something. A close close family friend of mine just died at 52 from covid. This is not a joke and I don't understand how people are supposed to survive. I was told over and over again of Starbucks policy. Apparently having a child I kiss on the face goodnight who is positive and showing the same symptoms as me is not enough. I'm looking at eviction soon. Great.

So I (19M) just got out of an almost 3 year long relationship with my now ex-girlfriend (19F). The break up hasn't been to toxic. We both agreed to try and be friends and still do some things together and not make it all terrible. Two weeks ago my mother invited my ex-girlfriend over to help her with some chores, since my ex-girlfriend always enjoyed helping my mother clean. Once it's around 11 PM my mom says to me that my ex will stay because it's too late at night for her to drive home by herself. I'm fine with it mostly but my ex-girlfriend wants to sleep in my bed with me. Since this is MY ex-girlfriend I assumed this to be the last time that she would sleep over with me. I told my Mom that this isn't good for her since she is having trouble letting go of me and that she starts drama when she is here and I don't really want to deal with it anymore than I have.

Last night my ex-girlfriend came over because I agreed I was gonna build a PC for her sister so she brought the parts and I built it. After a few hours of just hanging around my mom tells me she is gonna stay the night. I asked my mom why she is staying the night and my mom just says "if you don't want her in your room tell her she can sleep on the couch". A little bit after that my ex-girlfriend is in my room and tries to cuddle with me and that was when I told her that she should sleep on the couch and I don't think this is good for us. It's one thing to hang out but it's a whole different thing to cuddle and sleep.

After this my ex-girlfriend got upset with me and went home. I sent a text to my mom saying EXACTLY this."I'm not sure why you think you can just do this when you know it toys with her heart and that I can't fix anything so I don't wanna deal with this right now. This was fucked up of you and I'm not having it anymore. Goodnight."

Shortly after the text my mom comes in my room telling me that I have "no compassion" and I'm a "cold-hearted asshole".

AITA? I was trying to have this relationship end as good as possible but her we are. I have not been angry at anyone or insulted anyone. I've been trying to be cool with my ex-girlfriend but she has been getting toxic and I don't think it's cool for us to hangout anymore but my mom insists that I need to let her sleep here. Doesn't make sense. If I'm the asshole I'll admit it. Thank you all in advance.

TL;DR: My mom keeps inviting my ex-girlfriend over to stay the night here with me after I have told her I do not want that. I tel

Do your worst!

Less of a Tale tonight and more of a rant, but mostly just letting folks know I'm still here.

Tonight gentle readers, we shall speak of that most sacred of holiday traditions: the annual Christmas party. Buttercup is in her usual spot by the coffee station. Don't let the antlers fool you, she's still a unicorn.

Like many companies, my hotel has an annual Christmas party: potluck food, white elephant gift exchange, a raffle for a new TV every year, all that sort of thing.

I make a point of not attending.

The housekeepers have a very bad habit of turning '+1' into 'bring the entire family', which turns a small gathering of coworkers into a swarm of undisciplined children and people I don't know. Even when they're told very explicitly not to. The kids will be running around screaming, because they are bored, while the other family members will sit around sullenly, also bored.

The food will be devoured almost immediately. The last time I attended the only thing left by the time I got there was the macaroni salad, with one person shamelessly hauling away four slices of the pizza I had brought.

But mostly, I never really see everyone else, as I'm working nights. I am extremely in fifth-wheel mode, and tired because it's usually the times I'm in bed asleep. Probably with a headache from the lack of sleep and screaming children.

So I don't go. Period. I'd rather get the sleep.

In the past, I have contributed to the white elephant gift exchange, despite not attending. This means I usually wind up with the random crap nobody else wants. Scented candles. Automatic putter. That stupid fragrance oil you spray in your toilet. That sort of thing. Last time I participated, I dropped off a large wrapped package, containing an covered turkey pan.

But I stopped bothering, because again, not really worth the effort and expense.

Year before last, the AGM took charge of the whole event, determined to make it the best holiday party ever. To this end, she posted a notice, where folks could indicate which of the approved items we would be bringing to the potluck, as well as reminding that participation in the gift exchange would be mandatory (bolding hers), with a minimum of $25 for the gift. I ignored it, as well as the second reminder that some people had not confirmed for the party.

Fun fact: Skwrl does NOT do passive aggressive memos, and will ignore them completely. This includes a third memo in an envelope with my name on it, taped up in the back roo

I just wanted to share the absolute worst experience of my 8 years at this shithole company. I was licensed maybe 3 - 4 months and GEICO announced we'd begin selling Massachusetts policies. The Sales Dept is always running various promotions for superficial reasons. To commemorate entering MA, they announced via poorly typed email, that they'd be giving out a Boston Cream Donut for every Massachusetts A-Call. Each section was provided with a box of a dozen Boston Cream Donuts.

Well - I get an email informing me I just got an A-Call on a MA call. and my sup walks over to tell me what a great job I did. After staring at these pastries all day I asked, "oh, can I have a donut now?" And she literally said to me, "no, that's only for TPA A-calls." Now, I'm a new employee, I don't even know what the TPA is. So I asked, and she explained it to me. Basically because PMT graded my call instead of another region's PMT (that's what makes it TPA), I cannot have a donut.

People in my section claim my face turned red, and my sup became noticeably uncomfortable with me. At that moment, I do not even know how I held it together. I felt adrenaline rush when I realized the absurdity of the situation. My heart rate jumped. There's a box of donuts GOING STALE ON THE DESK but I cannot have one because my call wasn't picked up by the right group of people who have the SAME JOB. I didn't speak to anyone for the rest of the day, and intentionally bombed every call I took. I was so angry I should have broken the cubicle walls down and ripped the phones out of their sockets. To this day I regret not becoming violent and getting fired. Do you have ANY idea how embarrassing it is to ask for something you're not entitled to? When I punched out for the day my sup said goodnight and I just kept walking, eyes forward.

From that point on I had a new rule. Anytime the company brought in food for any reason, I would take some and wait for someone to tell me to stop. As it happens, over my 8 horrible year career, I was literally never questioned once when taking food. This was my personally arranged compensation for the humiliation of that day. Do not let people disrespect you in the workplace. Make them too uncomfortable to do so.

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

My boyfriend is a really great guy & I love him a lot, but I've started to feel extremely uncomfortable in the relationship & quite a bit awkward.

My bf is an introvert & also a full-time musician. Whenever we get together, we end up sitting together at his computer & I watch him do his work for a few hours. He's totally engrossed, & happy to have me sit there & just watch him work. But when I ask him to come places with me on the weekend, he never wants to come & wants to work on his music instead.

Also, we're in the same band, so we don't really do anything outside of the music stuff. I probably see him 3x a week but when I ask him to do anything outside of music, or talk about anything, he doesn't really seem interested or want to come. He's happy & energetic in his own world tho.

He will spend days & days alone just working on his projects. I am always happy to support him, & text him about it daily, but whenever he texts me it's just on his music updates. He works so hard & really is a sweet guy & asks about my day, but never joins me in my activities.

When we're with friends, he's usually by himself on his phone or in his head. I think this is just an introvert thing. However, I've seen him be extremely social while leaving me out. Once, we were at a friends for a game night, he didn't really speak to me the entire time & think he forgot about me, he prepared & got food for himself & not me while talking to everyone else, for like 3 hrs, so I left at the end without warning/saying goodbye. He did notice, but for some reason I still left. I feel sick to my stomach & regret doing this, but have never done something like this before.

Also, he goes on trips a lot with his friends but not with me, but works on his music there the whole time, like at the beach etc. He never misses or thinks of me but I think this is him needing alone time for a week etc.

The only reason I've sustained is bc we do have some semblance of affection, he'll text me goodnight each night, & I've been trying to keep the peace in the band, but I feel very awkward around him & we don't have much other intimacy. I'm starting to just feel very strange & alone around him & and think he's starting to notice. I'm usually a high affection person so idk why I feel so awkward.

Is this normal for an introvert? I'm also a bit insecure/shy so it's hard for me to speak up or feel comfortable around him. He'

I am getting a little frustrated, which obviously gives me the right to whine on the subreddit and subject everyone to my sanctimonious opinions.

Okay so the nature of adaptation is such that even in very good films based on very good books, there will be decent swathes of things that are lost in the process. It is rather inevitable. It's not because film is an inferior format to literature. It's because it is a different format, with its own strengths and weaknesses.

While I am a fan of dune, I am also a fan of film. I guess that as a result it means I give Villeneuve a bit more leeway than some people do. But I encourage anyone who believes that they're capable of seeing things in this way give it a try, because it really increases your enjoyment of most adaptations.

I also don't believe that any movie could automatically be made better by turning it into a high budget TV series. I don't personally wish the 2021 movie took place over 4 hours.

Here's why:

The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the favourably viewed first half of the game of thrones TV series, I wish I had more examples but these are the most relevant. They're lavish, high budget adaptations of grand pieces of immersive fiction. But they also grew massive audiences far beyond the original fans of said fiction.

Have you any idea how different the Lord of the Rings movies are to the books? Not just in cursory details, but fundamentally. The whole mood of the Fellowship of the Ring is completely butchered to make the film. While the events are the same (though pared down) the feeling, the mood, is completely absent, the themes are different, a significant portion of the characterisations are removed. Gimli of the films barely resembles anything close to the Gimli of the books. In the subsequent films it's even more egregious.

But not only are those films beloved, they're beloved by the book fans. And they're considered excellent film-making.

Having read lord of the rings, and seen the films, and read dune, and seen all three major adaptations so far, I can promise you that much less was sacrificed for Dune than ever was for Lord of the Rings. Gurney Halleck sings a few songs, the Lord of the Rings has songs every other page. Sure, aragorn mutters some lyrics once per film, but then again, Gurney recites Poetry a few times too.

My purpose here is not to invalidate your disappointment. It's to ask you 'do you think Denis Villeneuve was not also pained to see certain things removed?'

Here's th

I been texting this guy for almost a week. I never initiated texts and ignored him alot in the beginning then my dumbass got carried away and talked to him on the phone for 3 hours(I asked him to call me) and then a day later… yesterday we texted back and forth til midnight, I know 🤦‍♀️ . But at end of our text he asked if I was going to bed and he’s like goodnight. I said night then he implied he wanted to talk but I wasn’t gonna say call me when he didn’t explicitly asked. But anyways today I can tell he’s starting to put less effort already. Like today he only texted me 4 times and I replied to them but spaced out but I did leave him hanging on the last one when he texted me one word question. 2 hours later I got this text. I still haven’t replied. What do you think is the appropriate response? Thanks ladies!

Edit: forgot to mention he asked last minute thrice if we can see each other, the first time he didn’t followed up w/details. Then 2 days later he asks outta the blue if we can grab quick “ice cream” right now and another time if he could bring me or drop off some supposedly “exotic” food we talked about over text, ofc I decline both times.

There used to be a time when I was proud of my home state. I used to joke with people from out-of-state that they “better stop talkin’ smack about Texas, or else!!” but not anymore. Talk all the shit you want about that god-forsaken state because its governor, (a good majority of) its residents, and everything that state exemplifies is a waste of life and nothing to be proud of anymore. Anything horrible said about that fucking state is more than likely true at this point.

I’m a 25F and proudly pro-choice. I’m strictly child-free and taking away the choice to women for safe, legal abortions is such a huge step back it’s not even funny. As in, they’ve taken a century-worth of a step backwards. It’s upsetting to say the least and makes me sad, angry, horrified, and terrified for my future and women in Texas who no longer have that safe choice available to them.

I’m so glad I moved recently but I’m terrified my state will be next to take away women’s right to choose due to the HUGE religious influence here. Do I PLAN on getting an abortion anytime soon? No. Do I hope I ever have to get one? Also no; I do, however, want that choice to be available should I or any other woman, need one.

Fuck you, Gov. Abbott, fuck you, pro-life pieces of shit, and fuck you, Texas.

ETA: All of you idiots screaming “oh no, you can’t murder a baby now!” just to be immature can eat my shit. A fetus is not a living, breathing thing. It is not viable outside of the womb of the woman therefore is not a separate being. Y’all are so pro-life until the child needs healthcare, diapers, food, formula, etc.

ETA2: L-o-fucking-l at the person who reported me for suicide watch, I appreciate the thought but I’m fine, I promise :)

Last edit: I no longer wish to entertain the simple-minded folk who believe the lie and joke that a fetus is a living thing, or that this law restricting what women can do with their bodies is a good thing. Y’all are a part of the problem. To everyone who has given support, thank you, and I appreciate your support with this sensitive and outraging matter. Goodnight everyone (but not the pro-lifers. You fucks have a bad night.) Also thank you for all of the awards! I’ve never received any before tonight since I’m still fairly new to Reddit so it’s much appreciated.

HOLY SHIT this post has blown up! Y’all anti-choice fuckers are SO triggered over women wanting to choose what they do with THEIR own bodies, it’s HILARIOUS! To all of the little children and dis

Pilot on me!!

So I and my boyfriend have been together for about 5 months. I made it clear to him right from the start that I don't want to have sex and I want to take the relationship slow until I know this relationship Is completely out of love and not just lustful. I didn't want him to use me for my body because it had happened before. he is a very sweet guy who has taken me on multiple dates and even made it clear that he loves me. But it seems like every time he starts speeding our relationship up I have to slow him down and explain to him I think we're moving a little too fast. After a while tho he asked to come over to my place because he really wanted to get closer and he felt like after everything he's done for me he feels like I haven't reciprocated the love he's given me. I realized he was kinda right because out of the 10 dates he's taken me on I've only taken him out on 4 and he had to ask me for those dates. So I agreed for him to come over and we spent a good amount of time together. Getting close and cuddling. After a few hours of watching movies and eating junk food, we began making out and he pulled a condom from his wallet. He then asked if I was finally ready to have sex he said that he has done a lot in this relationship and has felt like having sex would bring us closer and that he feels like he's done a lot to earn my trust. I told him that I wasn't ready and that I would like it if he could please wait a little longer. He said that was a good idea and he was willing to wait a little longer. He asked to use my restroom and I told him that was fine. While he was in there I could hear strange noises and when he came out his eyes were all puffy and he was sniffling a few times. But put on an obviously fake smile. After a few more minutes he said he needed to leave and wished me goodnight saying he loved me. I was kinda taken aback about this I'm just confused I never knew a grown man could cry over something like sex and it feels pretty damn weird in my opinion. I just don't understand how to properly react to this situation and where to go from here. I'm still not ready to have sex with him but I don't want the idea of him crying because I won't have sex with him being on my mind.

-Conrad-

The Hellboar closed the gap between them in but a few short moments, leaving Conrad with no time to process. He only had instinct and reflexes to rely on.

Thankfully, both of those continued served him well.

Even caught flatfooted Conrad was able to instinctively gauge the timing required to avoid his attacker. His muscles twitched in response while his mind continued to disjointedly catch up to the matters at hand. His body shifted to load his weight on one foot to pull the boars' attention to that side, then launched himself in the opposite direction at the last possible moment. The boar tried to catch him with an upswing of its head, but he had gotten out of the way just in time.

The Hellboar skidded to a stop and spun, single-mindedly focused on its target. Conrad's mind had caught up, and now he weighed his non-existent options. He was too far away to tree himself, had no spear, and the boar wouldn't miss him a second time, not this close and at a slower speed. The others weren't armed yet and he had no fancy tricks to rely on now, only the blade at his hip and lady luck, whom he appeared to be rapidly running out of favor with.

With a tempered sigh, he drew his boar knife and waited for the inevitable.

The Hellboar was only too happy to oblige.

The enraged creature stomped its feet to charge forward again, at this range it would close the distance between them in a single second. Conrad set himself to try and sidestep again and make a strike on the side of the thing's neck, but it never arrived. A Rust and Black colored f

As I stepped onto the side of the arena wall, I felt myself get yanked back by my collar. I tumbled back onto the floor of the stands and looked up to see Headmaster Norah standing above me, her steely gaze piercing me like daggers.

"What were you thinking?" She asked.

"I've got to do something!"

"You're in no condition," she said coldly. "The plan is for us headmasters to keep it contained within the arena via seven-pronged barrier until the spectators have had time to escape. We will handle the monster then. If you want to help, then make sure our guests leave safely."

"Not a chance," I growled as I got to my feet.

"And what is it you think you can do?" She snapped at me.

"More than nothing," I answered before vaulting over the side and plummeting into the arena. She started yelling something at me but Edwin's voice boomed all around us as I landed and rolled with my momentum the way Fena had.

"Everyone remain calm. Please leave the stadium at the designated exits in an orderly fashion. I assure you, the beast will be contained until you're at a safe distance, and then dealt with by Galgia's most powerful mages. You are one hundred percent safe."

But that didn't account for everyone. Her screaming was making my stomach turn. I stared up at the beast– it was even larger than I'd thought. Tovin was still frozen in place on the ground as he watched the spectacle play out before him. I gritted my teeth and hurried toward him– I was going to need his help.

"Get up!!" I screamed as I picked him up by his arms. He found his feet beneath him and turned to see me staring him dead in the eyes. "Get it together!! I'm gonna need you for this!"

"Y-you fool!" He shot back. "What can we do against something like that??"

"Can you cast that spell again?" I yelled.

"W-what?"

"THAT SPELL!! THE BEAM!! CAN YOU CAST IT??"

He stared at me for a second before nodding, "Yes. Yes, I can cast it one more time. But it won't be enough for something of this caliber, you half-wit!"

"Through the eye," I asserted. "Its eyes are probably soft. Could you do it?"

"... Yes, but I'd have to get close."

"I'll distract it!" I yelled. "When all four of its eyes are on me, take it down!"

He stared at me for several seconds before I grabbed him by his shoulders, "TOVIN!! ARE YOU NUMBER ONE OR NOT??"

"ALRIGHT!!" He screamed back, slapping my hands away. "Alright. If you give me the opening... I'll try."

I didn't waste another sec

"For humans, it is customary for two leaders engaging in diplomacy to shake hands," The human official in front of her said.

"Are you the one who has been appointed to speak on behalf of Humanity?" Sri'icla asked.

"I am. My name is Nichole Jackson, and I am the Council Director of Luna Command."

"Then I will shake your hand, human."

Sri'icla reached out and grasped the outstretched right arm of the human with her left. Sri'icla believed that the human in front of her was a female based off of her appearance. There were several curiosities about this species that she intended to figure out. Maybe they were more dexterous with that extra finger in the middle. A passing memory crossed her mind of a video from Ynell'ser's crew explaining that raising their middle fingers was a rude gesture in many of their cultures.

"Do you not have a third name like some humans?"

"I do not. My parents didn't give me one."

"Is there a place where we will have our conversations?" Sri'icla asked.

"Yes, just follow me. It's a bit of a walk, and our corridors may be a little..." The human paused and ran her eyes over Sri'icla's body. "Small."

"Will I fit inside them?"

"Yes. Though there is a chair suitable for normal Vinarii available, you are much larger than them. I'm afraid you may have to either sit or stand."

Sri'icla nodded. That made sense. The humans couldn't have known the true scale of a Hive Queen compared to the others. She guessed that the humans were going to do a lot of prancing around when it came to practical questions. They'd probably turn the First Contact into an interrogation, trying to gain leverage from either Ynell'ser or Hex'taqnar's actions. Speaking of Hex'taqnar...

Sri'icla turned to him. "You will follow me as well."

"Yes, my Queen."

"Guards, single file."

They obeyed. The human's own guards began moving ahead in the tunnel for a bit before Nichole began walking towards it. The tunnel was lit every few standard lengths with lights in its corners. Sri'icla could see in the dark if it came to it, though. Even prior to the Gene Wars, the Hive Queens were more than regular Vinarii.

It wasn't a very long walk. Sri'icla's feet were mo
