On either side stood some mannequins, exquisitely dressed in couture fashioned from alien hides and plant-fibers I couldn’t identify. Dresses of fish-like skin and fluorescent hides. Hats decorated with remarkable shells and quills. One of them even wore a scarf made of a whole caterpillar-like animal with striped golden fur as smooth as that of minks, and a small obloide head with big black eyes. Curiously, I reached out to feel the softness of the fur, but to my surprise, it was still warm. “IE!” it squeaked like a calf. I jumped back as the animal raised its head. “IEE-EE!” it squeaked, upset, as it spiraled down the mannequin’s legs and rushed toward a tall lady of significant size who just walked down the stairs. ‘Oe! Did they frighten you, darling?’ she comforted the caterpillar as it draped itself around her neck like a sentient scarf. ‘I-I-I… sorry,’I apologized. ‘I didn’t realize it was alive.’ ‘Ha-ha,’ she laughed. ‘You are new here,’ she said and reached out her hand, holding it up as if she expected us to kiss it. So we entertained her. Miss Style wasn’t the type you’d expected in a place like Arkology. She was a sizable lady wearing an extravagant dress of reflective gold and yellow fabrics. After some introductions, she asked. ‘What can I do for you, darlings?’ ‘I assume your hench- Your men have already informed you of our predicament?’ She constricted her face into a giddy grin. ‘Spacefarers,’ she uttered childishly. ‘Well, you ain’t the first. However, if it is a return ticket you want, you’ll have to travel back the same way everybody arrives here.’ ‘And that is?’ asked the Doctor. ‘On the White Ship, darling. Surely, travelers like yourselves have heard of them?’ - From the Arkology Reports, part 5 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgHS60Dm14/?utm_medium=tumblr
