It rains for several days, on and off; bringing more aliens to the Earth......
Most try to land in the shelters that are now being built in different all around the world--at least a few per nation...
Now, in an white collar area in Victoria Australia: An scientist watches a Crimini mushroom through a window.. "Come here, Tom!" he shouted in a hushed tone! "Wot?!" an butcher walks up behind him "This is what you invited me over for? To peep on some wench??". " Shut up!!! You're going to alert someone!" the scientist grunted back! "Look, that one always goes out by himself when he gets a chance, and his friends all go off and do whatever for hours! We have our chance now!" he then explained, the butcher smirked and takes up his cleaver.. then sneaked outside and follows the alien.. then quickly sliced through his neck! "Hurry, hurry!" the scientist shouted, and the bigger man drags him away...
Back in his home; they laid the killed alien on the kitchen table.. the butcher then chops off a arm and chews it immediately! "Hmmm! Like a brown one, except meatier! You were right!" he laughed, "Stop that, let me study it first!" the scientist retorts "It's true that they're mushrooms, NOT people.... lord knows why these things were let on God's green earth and anyone's even trying to think of them like people! But what I DO know is that fungus is food! And these abominations shouldn't be able to move at all!". Tom laughs as he takes a leg and goes to put it in a stew " All I know is that it's good!" he cheered, the scientist splits open the rest of the alien "Stop shouting! ...Oh, this is little more than cartilage, simple nervous system and ...what I guess is some type of blood, the jelly of a Devil's Tooth fungus?" the scientist replied in wonder "I can't tell what most of this is... but this looks like a high school science project, alot of this can work, but would be improbable naturally.. but this, this is these aliens..."... he trailed off as he continued rummaging through the cadaver....
A few days later, after more aliens cluelessly landed on Earth; Jon, the ambassadors and Princess Oyster finished yet another day of meetings and finding still homeless mushrooms... but today they continued talking more and more thought work, and even now; nearing his home...
"That was so funny, not in a mean way, but.. the look on his face!" she says and then laughs. "Yes, yes; sometimes I still think there's monsters in the dark too, even knowing you people!" Jon replies, then corrects himself "That didn't come out right..." . Oyster laughs even more! "I know what you meant!" she replies "There isn't any reason to worry; I understand that as long as we've been here: seeing anybody run out of a dark area, even if just for a hug, might scare anyone!". They near his doorstep... then he suddenly noticed " Oh.. um, we seem to be at my house..", she stops laughing as much and looks at it "It's beautiful!" she exclaimed looking at the brick home... "Um, I would like to take you back to your home: here, in the shelter..." Jon says. "Then who'd take you back home?" Oyster asks with a laugh "I could simply stay over, and we can go back out tomorrow, without having to meet up!"... " Um, uh... y,y,you want to stay over here tonight?" he asked nervously. "Of course, I can trust you wouldn't be if any danger, right?" she jokes.. Jon laughs wryly, while she laughs loudly... "Please let me stay?" she then asks again.. "Oh, okay.. please come in.. um, fortunately I had a maid clean it recently, now that I've had a chance to get back home.." he explains in some confidence...
They go in, Jon turns on the lights to reveal his house if fashioned to look like a log cabin inside... it's cozy looking inside, save for the for the sight of a laptop in nearly every room with open doorway... "Wow, your home is.." she starts to say.. "Yeah.. my desires and work clashed together, I wanted a mountain fort feel, but ...life happens.. I guess a scientist can't live that way, right?" Jon tried explaining his home... "This, this is curious.. I wish we had something like this on Eukaryotes..." shebreplies "Our home doesn't allow for many lifeforms that you can get by being so close to a star...". " You don't have forests I assume? Or.... Actually, I'm very curious about your planet, the meat growths too.. we need heat to live, so.." Jon starts to mumble.. "It's not really human flesh, what I told you about..." the princess replies. "So.. our fungus might not completely be.." he started.. "Oh Jon, let's talk about something else?" Oyster exclaims sweetly.. "!? What?!" Jon asks in surprise, "I ..I purposely tried to distract you, so I could follow you here; I want to ...I think I want to mate with you!" Oyster reveals happily!
"WHAT?? Why? How?!" Jon started stuttering in surprise and steps back... "Oh doctor, you're the first human I've met, and the most ive too!" she reveals "How could I not have such feelings; why, on my planet I would have spoken up way before now! But I know you humans see relationships differently than we do, so I tried to be private about this!". " Wh, what?? Um, but my dear Oyster.. " he tries to return the sweetness/positive tone back to her as he asked "Aren't you.. you strike me as quite young... your mannerisms remind me of a mature, but nevertheless a young woman... I might be too old for you? I, I know it's been quite a while since I was able to run around like you do..". " Jon... is age that big of a problem here?" she asks curiously "On our planet, we always delve into a relationship with both parties ready to date and mate, no matter the others' size..". " It's quite different here!" Jon retorts "To avoid adults taking advantage of and hurting children, we have laws in place to stop those who'd manipulate young minds.. In this case, I fear I'd be doing something wrong if I go along with what might be a ing feeling...". " But it..." Oyster starts, then instead explains: "We saw some of the crimes that happen here, that never does back home... Crimes never go in that direction, never when a person reaches sexual maturity are they so easily influenced.. It makes me curious how that happens here, how there are humans who have reached adulthood and have less sympathy to children? And IF two of you actually consensually want to be together, why is this wrong on specific conditions? What's keeping you from away from me?". Jon then replies in a rough tone "It's wrong to take advantage of someone younger than you, they are not mature in their heads enough to keep up with a adult!", "I have and you still are afraid though, and if humans are getting smarter with every generation; some might prefer someone with intelligence regardless of their age. Why, even LGBTQ humans are starting to be allowed to be with any age, as long as they believe `love is love` in this case, I might act much younger than you, but I assure I know what I'd be getting into if you'd have me...." Oyster reveals. "Um... I get what you mean: things that weren't accepted before are now... and so.. I.." Jon starts, then sighs "I know it'll be impossible to guess the age of someone who lives on a different planet, with a different rotation and axis.. so... I, I accept your feelings... I.. like you too, I must it..." he then laughs!
"Yes!" she cheers, "But if you do, please stop running?".. Jon now notices that he has backed up to a wall... Oyster then gets close to his face "So... can we do it now?" she asks in a whisper... "No,now!? I can't now! Um... I mean, h,how would we?" Jon asks curiously; his nervousness aside, he honestly was always curious: they eat, walk and talk like humans; but he was always curious if the aliens would simply throw spores like earth fungus...
"It's SO easy!" she exclaims, then holds his shoulders.. "First it's important to know that this WON'T work if we're both not ready: I can't produce spores, and you can't take them, unless we're both in a accepting/giving mood!". " Um, you, you're going to spore me? I'm.. going to grow ...fungus?". he asks in some fear.. "It's much more simple than that!" the princess exclaims, then backs away... "Our caps, as you call them, are like... hair more so.. even if something happens to them, we can regrow them easily, but they're also a way for us to do this :heart: " she shakes her pink cap, causing sparkly spores to fall on the man!!! "I've been seeded!?" he says in an gasp! "Don't be scared, or they won't receive the nutrition they need!" she warns, Oyster then nears him again; getting him to stare into her eyes; trying to calm him... "You don't have to do the whole process, they only need a damp area for most of the time.. But you humans are so very different than us: so please no showers, no shaving, and no dangerous activities until tomorrow night, then you'll be able to safely remove our babies!" she exclaims in a whisper! Jon stared in awe and some horror.. in a brief moment, he already became impregnated by an alien! He's snapped out of his fears by her asking "Oh yez, would you show me how humans breed too? Father and mother wouldn't allow me and brother to see it at the castle...", causing Jon try to stagger, but simply slide back against his wall...
Meanwhile, Quince has went back to his daily grind: going to work, visiting friends and returning home... but now days he sees so many mushrooms upon going out... They work jobs and vocations absolutely no one does, and what machinery fails to do... They also watch him, as humans sometimes watch eachother; but their watching from the dark areas scares him too!... Quince then staggers into a gas station "Dang it..." he sighs, and gets a beer.. then turns around to find that the cashier there is a phallineae mushroom alien!!?
Some people run from it as soon as they noticed him, the fanatics and more accepting people shop as normal, while fewer stay longer to talk to him! Quince staggers backwards, then walks far around the crowd and goes to the back of the gas station "Randy!!" he yells, an tired man looked up from a easy chair "What is it Quince? I can't keep dropping prices for ya!" he yells with a laugh! "Not THAT! You.." the cowboy replied in a louder whisper "You let one of them mushrooms in here!?". " Of course!" Randy replied happily "The thing works for free! And I get to sit on my butt longer!", " You're missing the point; you let a monster in HERE!?" Quince retorts... "A monster is whoever came up with tax season!" Randy replies "That out there is just a kinda ugly guy who works for FREE!". The gas station owner sits back again laughs! Quince shook his head and steps from the manager office... in time to see the crowd looking at him.... " Did they here me!?" he wonders, then the alien says "Sir, I asked Mr Randy for this job to get used to living here... But, I understand there's racial barriers on this planet.. should I try to change my diet? I understand people with your color are more acceptable, and eating differently could change my race's complexion, at least what with all the food coloring..." he asks Quince with a suggestion... the other humans glare at Quince, ...what he yelled out, DID sound wrong.. and the alien really assumed he was only afraid and thought that would help...
Quince dropped his beer and ran!!! He gets in his truck and speeds home; was he wrong!? Was he being racist?! Quince questioned himself, and his fears as he sped away from the situation...
The news of the aliens being edible spread among humans in back alleys and on the dark web... unbeknownst to many...
