Yes, and she thinks he is still seeing her like a novelty and all that. It could be such an interesting thing to play out :P

Okay, so timeline-wise, I was thinking that could go something like this:

- Drei talks to Zalla again either at the end of this day or the beginning of the next one, and she tells him that their fertility specialists want him to bring Artemis on board the ship, so they can speak with/study her.
- He takes her up to the ship, and that's where all the stuff goes down that we talked about before
- Since Artemis can't live off the same food that the aliens eat, they would have to go back down to the earth after it's decided that they're going to be a breeding pair.
- Drei would be taken off the team that was originally assigned to clear out the rest of the humans, since his leaders would find it more important for him to be part of their experiment. However, he and Artemis could still explore the area, and that's how they end up running into those different groups of humans that you listed out earlier.
- All the while, they would be sleeping together intermittently to find out if their two races really can breed, which would cause some awkwardness while they have yet to confess to each other that neither of them are doing it just because they were told to by the Om'phaers

That should give us some direction as we navigate the next parts of the story :) What do you think?

That actually sounds perfect to me. I just am wondering what to do with them in the forest, just have them walk, them finding nothing and going back to the house? Where I can have it that he gets called to the mothership?

Awesome!

Yeah, that could work. We can skip over the rest of their walk and bring it back to the bunker, where Drei will call Zalla and receive his orders to bring Artemis to the ship.

sounds great

I just realized I'm totally gonna forget all these side character names, so I added a section for important figures in the first OOC post to keep track of them

That really helps :)

Sorry that one took a while! This weekend was insanely busy between getting things done for our upcoming move and seeing friends, so I wasn't writing a whole lot.

It is really fine. I'll reply tomorrow :) Life happens

Sounds good! It'll be fun to write out everything that happens while they're on the ship. I'm thinking the first day will mostly be the time they take to settle in, and maybe Artemis will meet some of the other aliens that have taken interest in her.

That indeed would be interesting. And maybe even some male that is seen as highly attractive by the standards of his kind. But she is just being nice to them. I can already see it happening.

Can I also add the next part of the trip, when she feels good enough? Or would you think that is controlling?

Yeah, you can assume that if she says she's ready, Drei would take the ship up to space :)

I'm happy to skip ahead to the next morning whenever you want to!

I think I will do that, though can I have some of his kind lead her to the ones she is supposed to talk to? Or did you have something else in mind?

Sure, that works for me. Someone could show up the next morning to bring them where they need to go.

Will reply somewhere today. Work has been a pain..

No worries! I haven't done much writing over the past few days because I've been really busy. Feel free to work on it when you can :)

Thank you, will try today, but it could be later

If it takes any stress off, I'm about to get really busy for the next 10-14 days, so feel free to queue our RP last among whatever others you need to reply to :) I probably won't be writing a whole lot over the next 2 weeks.
