It's Tim. I guess I'm busy, so... Leave a message.

[ She barks out a laugh geddit, then covers her mouth to muffle her giggling. She also glances over at Brian to make sure he wasn't disturbed, which reminds her of why she contacted Tim in the first place and makes her stomach sink a little, but whatever. This is nice. ]

but that "baby" might belong to a race that just LOOKS like human infants!
you could jeopardize inter-species diplomacy with such thoughtless words!!
hehehe :D
aging does seem different for a lot of people here though
or at least their calendars are
for example, i know a few members of a species whose solar year is about twice as long as earths
three of them just showed up in fact!
they are immediately recognizable by their wweird TYP1NG ::::P

wow thx
like I don't have enough nightmares already
you know you've doomed me to weeks of dreaming about alien adult babies now, right. writhing in cribs dressed in business suits and trading space stocks
getting alien baby married
having alien baby kids, which look like really old humans
this is a rich fiction with quality worldbuilding I'm constructing in my head rn and it's going to haunt me forever
gg

also my condolences on being bros with the types-like-a-tool crew
you just won the most tragic past prize
how have you stayed sane

omg
do you think they would have little dentures :o
or would toothless.... -ness just be a feature of alien baby society??
im operating under the assumption that there is no intermediate phase between the old baby and baby adult stages
i.e. these alien babies undergo metamorphosis
otherwise this fictional civilization still has teenagers and is just like earth humanity
which would be boring and leave these babies desperate for some kind of gimmick
perhaps typing like a tool ;P

i wouldnt exactly call us bros lol
only one of them talked to me on a somewhat regular basis, and that was just to yell at me
(the reasons for which are convoluted and involve things like seeing into the past and future)
(so)
(it is a long story)
