V - the Visitors
I’m posting a picture story on my tumblr, but hit a wall where I have finished the script, but little motivation to take any more screenshots. Maybe if I post here, too, I’ll find that motivation agai...
Forum Discussion
Visitor-Human relations continued…

Emma: “Say, Daniel… you wouldn’t be interested in buying a car, would you?”
Daniel: “What?!”
Emma: “Thought so. Sorry. I promised dad to ask you. We own a car dealership, and he hopes to expand his customer pool.”
Daniel: “You kidding, little Emma? Of course I want a car! Having your own car means freedom to go wherever I want whenever I want! Tood bad we are trained at totally different vehicles. The city council doesn’t let us drive human cars.”
Emma: “So if mom and dad offered driving lessons to aliens that came in an UFO, would that be helpful? In addition to sound stupid?”
Daniel: “Yes to both!!! I take it your parents gave you their calling card to give me?”
Emma: “Yeah… here you go!”

Alice: “Is it true that humans eat all the time?”
Emma: “Who told you that?”
Alice: “I don’t remember. But I heard that when you are tired, you take a quick snack and can go on. You don’t have to rest in the sun.”
Emma: “Oh, you must mean coffee! That’s a real thing. But it doesn’t really give energy, it just makes your brain forget that you are tired.”
Daniel: “One sugar rush coming up, ladies!” (to himself:) “And probably diarrhea.”

Eustace: “What’s so cool about this place, Cole? It’s just a public aquarium, but you act as if drinking lemonade in the basement is the bees knees!”
Cole: “Oh, right, you can’t know that! During the prohibition this basement was a Speakeasy. People came here to drink alcohol in secret, when the government had outlawed doing so.”

Eustace: “That’s scary, Cole! The government being able to tell you what and what not to eat!“
Cole: “Well, I guess they only forbid stuff that is bad for you.”
Eustace: “Like…?”
Cole: “Like… chocolates… oh, plum! You’re right, Eustace! It’s a VERY scary thought!”

Cole: “Loser has to eat a whole… hm.. oh, I know! A whole live snail!”
Cole didn’t notice it, but suddenly Eustace didn’t focus on winning anymore...
None of the children, Human or Visitor, noticed that Daniel carefully monitored their progress in the skill game or that he was saving their results in the system. To them the man’s scrutinizing glare passed for the typical “adult looking important” mimic. As for the saved numbers, who didn't want to show off their High Scores later? There was nothing suspicious here.
