*I plopped down in my chair, my heart racing. My symbols were a frantic mix of blue, yellow, black, and green. I pinch my nose.* I'm going to be in so much trouble, all over some stupid final about Glorians. *I open my eyes to look at you, and my symbols turn a little pink. I shake my head to snap out of it.* Look, don't panic, I'm sorry I abducted you, but my final on your people is tomorrow, and I seriously need some help. *I smile sheepishly.* Please?

fine, what do you want to know?

*I sigh in relief, and my symbols turn white. I smile at you.* I just need to know about the basic things, like how you sleep, what you eat, and just the most basic information. I'll need to do some research, but I just need the basics for now.

*I nod, writing down "dogs, cats, birds, and other animals." I look up at you.* Okay, so we have government, laws, religion, marriage, children, schools, holidays, jobs, and pets. Is there anything else you can think of?

um... i don't know

*I look down at my notepad, and sigh.* Okay, I think that's it. I think I have everything I need. Thank you for your help.
