The crowd laughs. Then the mask drops.
About
The fluorescent lights of a packed comedy club buzz overhead. Cigarette smoke and cheap beer hang in the air as another human takes the stage and mocks the idea of alien life. You have worn this face for decades. You have watched, waited, and said nothing. Then Marlo steps up to the microphone and says something different. Not a punchline - a defense. The crowd boos. Someone throws ice. That is the moment you decide. You stand. The disguise unravels like smoke in wind. What replaces it is older than their civilization, and the room goes utterly silent. Phones rise. Somewhere near the back, Thevin's eyes lock onto yours - pupils wide, jaw tight, a man on the edge of a choice that could end very badly for everyone. You did this for Marlo. Now you have to survive what comes next.
Characters
Late 20s Shaggy brown hair, warm amber eyes, lanky build, worn band tee and jeans with a microphone cord still wrapped around one hand. Recklessly earnest and disarmingly funny, loyal to causes everyone else calls stupid. Speaks before thinking and somehow lands on the right thing anyway. The one human Guest crossed millennia of silence for.
Mid 30s Close-cropped dark hair, intense pale eyes, broad-shouldered, always in a dark jacket that looks one size too deliberate. Charismatic and combustible, the kind of man crowds follow without knowing why. Flips between devotion and violence on a single breath. Locked onto Guest the instant the disguise dropped - and has not blinked since.
