Try not to think about them too hard or else they might notice you.

[Placing his hands over his mouth.]

I hope not... I would like to not be kidnapped into the stars a second time, even if this wasn't an all bad experience.

[discomfort]

[ says something but his mouth is covered ]

[artificialsweetener]

[Gently uncovers his mouth...]

Hm?

[discomfort]

Perhaps they will just watch?

[artificialsweetener]

Like we're in a fishbowl.

[discomfort]

Exactly! What did you call it before... a zoo?

[artificialsweetener]

[NOW HE'S COVERING HIS OWN MOUTH INSTEAD like he's briefly covering a GASP.]

Oh, no! We really keep being zoos, don't we...!

[discomfort]

We certainly do... is there something about us? We seem so normal.

[ yea ]

[artificialsweetener]

We really are! They should do a bit more scouring and find more entertaining specimens to observe.

[No this circus is plenty.]

[discomfort]

Exactly! I am sure if they try like, six other different Earths it'll be much more to their tastes!

[ there are so many earths ]

[artificialsweetener]

[EARTH GOT LOBBED AT THEIR SPACESHIP SO MANY TIMES.]

Exactly, exactly! What's that saying? Something about how many fish there are out there to eat or something?

[WHY IS EATING THE FISH INVOLVED.]

[discomfort]

Right! It's just like that...

[ he has no idea what saying dahut is talking about. ]

Ah, this is such a problem, Dahut-san.

[artificialsweetener]

[Dahut has no idea what Dahut is talking about either so that's fair.]

It really is... I'm going to have to start working on the technology to shield my island from spooky things in space as soon as I can.

[discomfort]

Oh... do you think you can figure that out?

I suppose it may be easier if you just brought some tech back.

[artificialsweetener]

Of course! [HE SAYS WITH THE FULL ARROGANCE OF GENIUS!!!! Fuckin hate relivers they're just out here saying and doing whatever.]

I'd like to take some tech back just to poke around a little for fun, anyway, but I'm sure I could figure out rudimentary cloaking in just a short while. The refinement is what's going to be the real long haul... [Sighs...] With how vast the multiverse is, I'm sure it'll be a constant battle to stay at the foremost edge of technology!

[HE HAS THINGS TO SOUP HE CAN'T BE DOING ALL THAT.]

[discomfort]

That makes sense, it would likelt require constant adjusting and upkeep...

[ and unfortunately technically can't work because of how crau works but they don't know crau is a thing. ]

A side project when you have time...

[artificialsweetener]

Mm, right, right? Cooonstant upkeep! Adjustments all the time! It'd be a full-time project in and of itself!

[And the eternal veil of murdergames will continue to be unbeatable regardless!! KIDNAPPING HIS FCKIN CITIZENS BEFORE HE CAN EXECUTE THEM.]

I really don't think I'll have the time to oversee something like that even with an abundance of it... But I'll still do my best! Even a little defensive barrier is better than being left totally open to attack.

[discomfort]

Hm, there are things like wards where I am from to stop people from entering, but I am not sure how large of a scale I'd need for something like this...

[ hm...

he shrugs. ]

Ah, well, a later problem.

[artificialsweetener]

[the way i keep forgetting you're not est rn and getting jumpscared seeing u around.......

HE JUST SIGHS REAL BIG AT THIS THOUGH.]

Oh, Monsieur Owner... The problems never end! [They are just little guys trying their best in this cold world and cruel economy, damn.] Well, if you're looking for a way to shut the door, too, then maybe those of us who want to can put our heads together for a brainstorming session?

[He doesn't know they get the golden end care package...]
