"I was kidnapped by a space monster giant today."

Sara, usually the chipper and very active girl, sounded matter-of-fact. Like she was stating something as true as the sky being blue.

She was ignoring the plate of meatballs and potatoes placed in front of her. Typically her favorite dish, but now being given less than zero amounts of attention as she stared at her friend, waiting for a reaction.

"Oh yeah?" Came the only response from her friend, sitting opposite to Sara. He'd never heard her yap about something like this before. The only "monsters" Sara ever yapped about were butterflies and centipedes. The rare frog or two at times. All quite terrestrial and decidedly not gigantic.

Immediately after the friend showed even slightest interest in what Sara had just stated, she pulled out a somewhat crude drawing like she was a cowboy doing the fastest draw in the west, and placed it on the table for showcase. The drawing illustrated a small representation of Sara being held by a massive, yellow-toothed creature with black eyes, two dots of bright green acting as pupils. The thing must've been too big to draw on the paper since it cut off at the shoulders.

Yeah... definitely not any kind of typical insect Sara would yap about.

Perhaps one of the stranger parts was that the friend got the feeling that this creature was humanoid. Sara had even drawn it with five fingers, and a tone of skin on those bare hands that you'd see on any average stranger you'd walk by on the streets.

Maybe this had something to do with that giant disembodied hand attack that had happened down a few blocks.

"Death to the Old Millennium"

[synapticabyss]

In Starstruck, the way you interact with Planet Earth is via a little portal that the Captain (you, in this case) sticks their hand through.

While I'm not quite sure what's going on with Earth on a finer scale, the fact that everything on Earth is so small and made out of toys while the Captain is large and realistic suggests that the entire planet is already affected by the "Mold", like a type of worldwide radiation that nobody on Earth seems to have noticed in any meaningful way.

As such, the Captain's hand towers over many singular housing units found around Earth. Picking up people would be easy if that was the mission. So I was thinking - what if you could grab someone from Earth and pull them back into the Captain's satellite through the portal?

The kid that the Captain is holding will be fine. The Captain is destructive towards infrastructure, but the worst they do to actual human beings (Mold affected ones, in this case) is just to knock them down on their bums. Often by accident.

How it's going.

The youthful inhabitants of the Earth are allowed to play a bit on the giant apocalypse hand. They've been good little rascals.
