The InHumanity

Oct 18, 2023

Now the Ambassadors and Aliens are taken to the whitehouse; as normal:  the security is tight, and very impatient...  Xanthodermus and Djamor's bodyguards keep them from directly interacting with the royal siblings though.. 

It's also awkward for them to get into specific rooms, since their fungi caps--what seems to be their heads, apparently get in the way of passing through doorways all the time.. Though, they seem to bend, fold and twist easily without really stopping them from getting into anywhere...

They then meet the president in a building specified for this meeting; within a office. He stands upon seeing the aliens in the room! "Ah, so there you are... this is real.." he starts in some fear with his nervous smile fading into terror.. "Yes, Mr Stoker! We.." the princess starts, "That's `Mr President!` to you!" a human bodyguard suddenly warned her! "Wait, you have to excuse her; them.. they come on the pretense that we're all on equal terms! They don't even treat their subjects as that." Jon tries to calmly explain! "That's alright, it's all fine.." the president replied... I don't want to act all high and mighty, especially in this situation...  Now, what exactly is happening between our planets? This is what I really want to know..". "Exactly as I said.." the princess explains clearly "Our greatest minds predicted that both: our planet and Earth will die out in another century, just like many other planets with intelligent life..  So we want to unite with yours, and hopefully create a race that will survive both the dangers of nature, and it's own new people; who'll hopefully be understanding and kinder to nature--our planets...". "So we're victims of our own success, both of races..species; and yours is hoping to make a new, crosbred, and more intelligent generation?" he asks, then frowns "Ma'am, that's a insult to our and your race! I understand your concern, but let's see what we can do right now, instead of planning to fail?" he asks confidently! "I like this idea!" Djamor replies happily, she almost adds something when the president talked over her; "Do as our outer space friends dictate, and pass the agreed on laws for space immigrants! We can use their added intelligence to add to the prosperity of both of our planets!" he orders.. "Mr Stoker..." the vice-president starts in some anger "We DON'T know if that's their real plan! No offense to you, or them.. but there's MANY Americans who also don't agree with this, and besides us; there's many other nations who're already taking advantage of this situation!". The alien bodyguards seem as if they were to lay their fungi fingers on him in anger, when Stoker replied "Yes, I'm aware.. but be prepared to intercept them; our own greatest minds have predicted something similar and we have no decent way to stop it, at least these aliens could have a solution..." he replies somewhat fearfully... Djamor smiles happily upon hearing this! "Then might we take our leave? We were brainstorming on this very problem on the way over." Jon asks, "Of course! I'll send over a team with yours, once you have something ready; you'll receive full support from your home country!" the president assures... 

After plans were made, Xanthodermus and Djamor was sent away with an team of more compliant people: 
scientists and groups of volunteers who're also fascinated by the mushroom-people went to help them... Jon himself volunteered to rally the other aliens in that area; as he was now known among them regardless if they met him personally or not, since he is one of the scientist who received their messages at first and who was the one to at first earned the trust and respect of the royals... 

A day after planning; Jon now is now in Raleigh, following a GPS with a added alien-tracking system to it.. "They have something to track each other?" he thought as he's driven to a neighborhood.. "Yet, I don't think this is natural for their race? We have technology to track people, but I don't see anything that screams modern tech on any of the aliens...". He then remembers: "Oh, but Djamor had that rusty looking USB cable on her person and the men had strange belts with similar design wrapped around their bodies; maybe those was their devices, but they all have very different shapes than ours? It was surprising or.. a coincidence I could even make out what any of them are carrying at all...". He then gets a text on his phone.. "Oh, Charles?" he wonders

CHARLIEBOI: Hey

JON: Wut is it?

CHARLIEBOI: where are u?

JON: Heading 2 Raleigh, y?

CHARLIEBOI: U shuld B here with your gf

JON: What r u...

He picks up the phone "What're you talking about?!" he almost yells, "The princess is looking for you!" Charles laughs "No kidding; she literally wants your opinion on everything!". "Sh,shut up!" Jon retorts, only to hear his friend laughing, so he hangs up "Th,the nerve of him!! I quit that stuff all together, and what's worse he always finds the... strangest people to pair me up with! First that woman with the bedhead in public! Then that man with the stained pants, and now an alien!" he thought aloud... "Sir.." he suddenly hears, then looks at his driver.. "We're here.."  the man said laconically.. "Oh, oh thank you!" Jon replied, and pays him..

He gets outside, and follows his altered GPS to a abandoned building.. "Really? I thought they were all carefully picking homes of people who were as open minded as we are..." he thought, then noticed a family of Monterey-looking aliens hurrying out to him!!! He steps back in some fear... "It's Jon.." Skrub exclaimed, "The one the princess favors!" another adds. "Oh, you've heard of me too? (it was decided that I go for obvious reasons, but I didn't think the other aliens would be THIS welcoming to the very sight of me!) Come with me, my friends and I are setting up a ....sort of a home-away-from-home for you people!" Jon explains, "Really?" Dande asks, "Couldn't we stay among your people? It would be like a zoo if we have a habitat outside of the normal...". Jon wryly smiles as he explains "A abandoned building is out of the ordinary! Only reprobates of society stay in those...", he then steps a little closer to them; noticing their stance is similar to skittish humans and not all mushrooms are as aggressive as the bodyguards were: these belted and robed aliens seemed happy to see him, yet somewhat still afraid in comparison to the first few aliens that landed "We're making a paradise that would suit you until we can get every body used to the idea... It sounds like quarantining: but I promise it's for safety reasons NOT racism!" he assures the aliens! They seem to be surprised, making Jon curious, until he hears..

"There you are!", he quickly turns around to see Djamor behind him!! "Wha?! I thought you were miles away!?" he asks in surprise!". "Mere human distances cannot keep me away from you!" the princess replies with a laugh, "And I'm so happy to see you're also giving hope to our people!". She then looks at the other aliens, who nervously smile and bow... "Don't be so formal!" the princess tells her subjects "All I ask is that you listen to this man, I know that he has our best interest in mind! You don't have to be afraid of Mr Seward!". " Yes,yes... we could tell kind of.." Skrub replies, Jon suddenly hears singing: but couldn't make out the words immediately....but it suddenly forms into the word "Princess!?"!!

Everybody turns to see a arriving Radulodon-looking alien!... Jon hadn't seen a one like this before, the few `hairs` he seen were their caps (apparently) and few instances of body hair! "Ceres don't run up on her that way!" Dande scolded, Jon now realizes that they could be related; the colors are too similar; even while they're different species of mushroom;  the familiarity between them was like an parent talking to their child... "I'm sorry, I only just got excited!" she exclaims! "Teeny one.." Djamor starts to ask as she knelt to the girl "Might I know why you're so excited?  It couldn't just be because of me, right?". "You surprised me, of course! But... I think, I think this union might REALLY work!" Ceres replies happily "I can't wait to see what happens!". Djamor looks up at Jon with a curious smile... what could the girl have seen? Where as most aliens were understanding like this family, what or who did Ceres find?

To be complete; I actually did name everybody in this family
but retracted the names as it never naturslly came up and
find it weird to fully introduce characters I wouldn't use again.
Their names and positions are:

Skrub is a male child
Dande might of been the mother

And the one that looked different but had similar colors/the sister and daughter is Ceres.

Also sorry this chapter is massive as compsred to the others...
