Silence...
Blink-blink.
Gasp.
Collective gasp.
Collective choke.
Blink-blink.

Ohmygawd. Alien. We stand in a circle (or some semblance of one, anyway), staring at the object in the middle. I'm rather certain that we're all covered in the dust floating around us that's now settling on our shoulders, but it means nothing to us.
What we're staring at has green skin stretched over a rather human-like stature, with less flesh than any other human being I'm used to seeing. Two giant black eyes stare back, shiny and unflinching.
"What?" it asks, in a rather familiar voice.
Yunsi is the first one to speak. "Where's Adri?"
"You beat her up!" Sar points at the young man standing at the side accusingly. "She's a pulp now, thanks to you! We can't even cremate her!"
His eyes widen in reply. "I did nothing! The alien abducted her!"
... o.o
"Erm, guys...I'm right here."
No. Way. The alien just said that.
"You..."
Des speaks up. "Oh really. I'm a zombie, and you never discriminated against me!"
"That's different. We've always known you as a zombie. But...but..."
"She's been hiding an alien inside!"
"Like an onion!"
Yeah...just like an onion. =S
"I am nothing like an onion." Adri wrinkles her green nose in disgust, shifting her weight to one leg. Something clatters on the ground.
A can?
She bends over to pick it up, and we all crowd around to read the label.
"Zu...uuuu...rg?"
"That's not english."
"It says it makes you a superior species."
"Hmm. I wanna try that. Anything left in there?"
The bottle is shaken upside down.
"Nope."
"How'd it get there?"
"Now that I think about it, I remember something pouring over me and into my mouth..." Adri stares off pensively.
"You...drank that?"
"That stuff?"
"You don't look superior to me," someone snickers. How mean. I turn to the voice, and see the strange samurai dude.
"Who are you, anyway?"
We all turn our attention to him. I think the can's had enough eye-boring for the while.
"The name's YYugi."
"Oh, okay. Nice to meet your acquaintance."
We all shrug simultaneously, then turn back to the can. Hmm, strange it hasn't blown up yet.
"Hey, look, fine print."
"May make superior species egotistical or haughty. Use at own risk. Can be countered by Red Bino."
"Red Bino?"
"What the...?"
"Hey, look there's a booth of it right here."
Sar points to a rickety wooden shelf holding several cans. Yunsi walks over and picks one up, hefting it in her hand.
"Gives you fins? Who wants fins?"
"I do. Give me that." Adri grabs it, gulping it down before we can say anything.
"Erm...you really wanna be an alien fish? I mean, I know alien humans are something, but..."
"Or hey, what about this--"
Suddenly, something crashes. In the next moment, we're all coughing and choking and hacking on plaster dust.
I need fresh air...fresh air...fresh air...
I manage to stumble somewhere, the sound of footfalls around me stopping a little ways from me. As the cloud clears up, I can vaguely make out shapes.
Tall shapes...
That are kinda bulky...
That look a bit like friends...
Ah.
They're white plaster-men. And -women. C:
One that looks like Adri dusts herself off a bit.
"Anything's better than an alien."

Author's Notes:
Next time, we'll get out of the faktori. I promise. x.x I don't wanna stay in there any longer either.
Hope it was funny; I certainly had fun writing it!
