Log #2: Almost a Month Later
Tumblr media
Tuesday, June 15th, 2021
I've spent almost a month on this ship. The crew treats me like how people on Earth would treat a cat. Meaning they worship me. I made myself a bed in the Captain's Cabin. I assume it's the Captain's Cabin because every time the dude says something the crewmates scurry to get it done and it's where he sleeps. My point is my bed is made of burlap-like fabric and soft things I found around the ship.
The captain had watched me make my bed. This brings me to my next point. While I do have a bed the captain seems lonely so instead of sleeping in my bed I normally climb onto his chest and lie on him. It makes him look happy so I keep doing it. I think I'm a pet to them but at least they're not attacking me.
For food, I've been eating some Earth food and other things. The other day someone fed me this weird meat that tasted like spicy crab meat. Tasted pretty good.
Another thing, which is the weirdest, every time I sneeze the crew starts getting wound up. Soon we hit an asteroid storm. And every time I walk up to someone they seem happy meanwhile if I walk halfway then decide to walk somewhere else they look somewhat uneasy. I remember back on Earth reading about how sailors had superstitions about cats on board ships.
Should a cat sneeze rain will be on the way
If cat cleans themself against the grain hail is on the way
If they are frisky it means the wind is soon to come
It's believed to be lucky if a cat approaches a sailor but unlucky if the cat only approaches halfway then retreats
It was because cats were said to be magic and stored great power in their tails. This plays into the role where if a cat fell or was tossed overboard a storm would come. If the ship survived then they would be cursed with nine years of bad luck.
My guess is these aliens dudes have similar superstitions for humans.
As a side note: I think my name is A'saar. At some point every time they called that word nothing would happen but when I came closer they cheered. So anytime they say A'saar I come to them.
We haven't docked anywhere yet. Maybe we will soon but I don't know. To finish this out I'm gonna share a random fact from my time on this ship.
Random Fact: Because the only clothes I have are the ones I was wearing when we left, they ended up getting the onboard tailor (I'm guessing) to make me some clothes. The clothes are similar to the ones I wore when I left Earth. Easiest way I can explain is...think of what Beth (from The Walking Dead) would wear. Y'know...if she wasn't shot in the head by that asshole. Colorful clothes. Granted the clothes are always short-sleeved. There's a reason I normally wear a jacket. I've actually been getting used to not wearing it as much.

Log #1: Surprise Adoption
Tumblr media
Saturday, May 8th, 2021
To start this out I just wanna say I didn't fcking ask for a 'surprise adoption'. I was just minding my own business on top of my apartment building, y'know? Deadass just sitting up there staring at the stars with my favorite stuffed animal (a stuffed wolf-dragon with a turtle shell) when I see this bright light out in the woods a mile out. I put my shit in my bag and snuck back in the building and down the stairs. My parents didn't know where I was going (duh, otherwise it wouldn't be 'sneaking out'). But I did tell the receptionist, Mr. Gulbery, that I was going to have a midnight outing. He knew what that meant and asked me if I'd bring him back a slurpy from 7/11 (obviously I said yes, he's a cool dude that won't snitch).
Anyways, I rushed out and got on my skateboard that is always in the bushes and headed on out. Y'know, it was the perfect night for a midnight outing anyways. The moon was a Waning Crescent. One of my favorite phases. A warm spring night. Honestly would have been better if it were summer. Getting off track.
The light was closer and I had reached the woods. As I got closer I peered from behind a tree. The chatter in a foreign language caught my ears. It sounded like...a mixture of Latin, Klingon, and Dutch...? I tried to get closer but my ankle gave out on me and I fell face-first on the ground. So much being stealthy.
One of the creatures slowly stepped to me. It looked to be very fucking tall. Sweet Sassy Molassy. I tried to scramble away but fcking couldn't. It grabbed me with both hands. I thought I was fcking dead. With me still in its hands, it turned to the others who were all about its height. It said something and began walking with me still struggling to get out. I guess it noticed me struggling because it held me to its chest and started patting my head and rubbing my back with its big hands. Soon, I noticed a second pair of arms below the first pair. They all had tails with spikes that were...listen I'll try to draw pictures later. My point is I have no idea what it was doing. Maybe it was trying to comfort me? I don't know.
Eventually, we reached another large clearing in the forest with a bigass ship. Small to them maybe, but huge to me. They climbed in and the one holding me still tried to comfort (?) me. We lifted and sped off at such a high speed that soon enough I could see the stormy eye of Jupiter and something, a spacecraft, behind it. I didn't even notice my nails grabbing onto the chest of the creature. It was probably when we sped off.
When we got to the bigger (and I mean HOLY. FCKING. HELL. THATS BIG) ahem...ship they docked inside a giant hangar and exited. One of the creatures looked at me and began speaking but I still couldn't understand. The voice sounded mostly calm. Then again they could be plotting to kill me. Then again...what if they're nice? I haven't slept yet and I could feel myself getting tired.
AND WHEN I WOKE UP LET ME FCKING TELL YOU-
I was NOT fcking prepared to be on a bigass table. The creature from before was standing behind me and another one, one that wore a headpiece, was looking closely. It turned and grabbed something out of a bin and fastened it around my neck. When I looked down I noticed it was a small collar made of....some type of leather? A metallic piece, a name tag, said something on the back. Probably in their language since I couldn't read it. I looked up and the creature seemed pleased. Something, my bag was sat on the table. Naturally, I put it back on. Another something, what looked like a meat of some sort, was held above me. I reached for it and they gave it to me. After smelling it, it smelled like....fish? It looked and felt like fish. Once I put it in my mouth it was definitely fish. They started talking again as I ate. One of them sat a large bowl in front of me filled with water. I leaned in and began drinking. At least they weren't actively trying to kill me.
I guess this ship is my new home? idk, I'll provide updates.
