THE FIRST CONTACT MEME
Well, I guess it's more like 'The Establishing Diplomatic Relations Between Two Groups Meme' but that's less catchy as names go, I think.



...wait, no, not that one, it's a meme about the first meeting between two previously unknown cultures, commonly used for humans meeting extraterrestrials. Exciting stuff.

• Are you two comrades warily expecting the arrival of ambassadors from the planet of the talking hamsters? Are you from two different cultures? Are you from two different species, or even two different games and are awkwardly establishing diplomatic relations between, I don't know, Cape and Cowl and Paradisa? Is this one of those tragic moments of miscommunication in which you believe that you're meeting extraterrestrials and they're actually dudes from the next city over who hijacked a spaceship through hilarious in retrospect antics?
  
  I dunno, man, it's up to you. In case you're going "Gosh, I'd love to tag so-and-so, but I have no idea what to tag with!" here's the...well, RNG. You should know the drill by now.
  
  (In the event that both characters are from the same canon but you feel like RNGing it up, feel free to fub and change it to the plural you or you both.)
  
  1) If you are currently in a game, you have found the way out. You found a loophole, an escape hatch, a pregnable point in the otherwise impregnable forcefield. Awesome. Unfortunately, you discovered fairly quickly that you just end up in another place without loopholes, escape hatches, or pregnable points in the otherwise impregnable forcefield. (In the event that you don't have a game, apply this to a canon situation accordingly: Kyon discovered that the bathroom stall door actually leads to Tatooine and bumps into one of the locals almost immediately.)
  
  2) You are playing the part of the majestic visitor coming down from on high to ask a favor from the natives, who hopefully speak the same language as you. Depending on who you are, this may or may not be faked to some extent.
  
  3) Tragically, five minutes after the dramatic first contact people from both sides were brutally killed due to a misunderstanding of some kind, and now you're stuck taking refuge in a playground while the skirmish erupts about you. You may or may not have company.
  
  4) First contact was made by a video game boss who now threatens your entire planet. Will you succumb to despair and weep as the clock ticks down, or will you band together with a plucky band of survivors and seek out the Seven Swords of Sealing and the Five Songs of Hope and defeat said boss in time?

[ time to go convince the mortals to worship them so they can get something to help Loki on one of his quests. look at how enthralled Leah is about this! ]

It itches.

[ pulling at her dress. why is she always the one volunteered for these sorts of things? ]

[lowkeyinaminor]

But it suits you so, Leah! Really, itchiness is a small price to pay for fashion. [This is what is known in the hood as blatant lies.

He's also frowning at his headdress (of sorts). How the fuck did his elder-self walk about being so...well, horny?]

[The circumstances in which Zidane Tribal somehow (and he wasn't sure how) ended up landing in President Laguna's...does he have a couch? Well, his couch or closest couch equivalent. How he ended up there were long and awfully complicated, a smashing story left for another time.]

...

[There's only one thing to do here.]

Hey! Sorry, I thought I was heading somewhere else.

[esthar_president]

[ Laguna is used to weird things, someone asleep in his couch isn't the weirdest thing.

Although, well, considering he is the President, one could wonder what is the security doing. How could that boy even get that far. Whenever he fought them, Esthar's soldier were pain in the ass. And now that he leads them... Thinking to it, that may be linked to the fact he's kept complaining they were stealing too much of his personal space. And sent them on out unlimited vacations.

...

He's just gonna look at Zidane and crosses his arm. ]

H-Hey, It's fine...

( I guess. )

But er, where do you think you were heading? [He scratches the back of his head.]

[monkeytailed]

Phew!

[And Zidane's going to get up and off of the couch and stretch, every last bit of him, tail included, before continuing.]

Alexandria! I've got a girl waiting for me. [Although looking at the other guy, he seems to be dressed in strange, alien clothing, and the indoor lighting is just weird, and...well, crap.] Geez. This isn't Gaia, is it?

[esthar_president]

[ Alexandria? Gaia? Nope, none of it sounds familiar. He's not even sure those places exist on his world. What the hell is up with that boy- ]

Er... Yep, not Gaia. It's Esthar here. How could you get here and not even know that?

[ That's when Laguna's eyes... Fall on an important element. How could he not see it before? That's so obvious, that's so out of place, that's so- Weird. Yet so interesting! ]

... You've got a tail.

[ No really, it's important enough to be mentioned. That's the first time Laguna sees a human with a tail! How does it even work, does it move on its own or does he willingly moves it? So many questions come to his mind! ]

[monkeytailed]

[And at that he examines his butt to make sure that nothing hadn't changed. ...no, still was his tail.] Of course I do! Haven't you ever seen a tail before? [Is going to wag it for emphasis.]

[esthar_president]

... Actually, never on an human being.

[ He's gonna scratch the back of his head... No, gotta go back to the question that matters! What is he doing here? ]

So, how did- Wait, doesn't that kind of bother you when you sleep?

[monkeytailed]

[...thinking about it, he had a point: Terra's genomes aside, and they were a pretty self-contained bunch, there really weren't a lot of guys like him around.

Even if his reactions still seemed a bit overkill because plenty of people had tails.]

Not really. [...Vivi was rubbing off on him.] I mean, I've had it all my life, so if it bothered me when I slept I'd be in plenty of trouble. Haven't you ever seen a Burm- sorry, a rat person? [And he was glad Freya wasn't around.]

[esthar_president]

A Rat person?!

[ He shakes his head. Rat-person. Sounds like something out of an horror movie. ]

No, never. You wouldn't have fallen from the moon by any chance? Because, I'm pretty sure I'd know if such a kind of person existed.

[ That's a bad attempt at a joke, but that's probably closer to the truth than he thinks. ]

[monkeytailed]

[And he perks up at that. Their moon secretly being a portal to Gaia? Stranger things have happened.] Hey, maybe I have! Do you know if it's got a name?
