fayanora:1. If aliens were invading, what would you do, hide or wait by your TV?
Once violence ensued, I would be part of the resistance plotting to kill them and steal their starship(s). Given my particular talents and lack of heroic physique, that means I'd be trying to crack their language. Ergo, I would most likely be hiding in a bunker watching surveillance videos of the aliens talking to each other.
2. The aliens have landed and they haven't blown the planet to bits, how would you react if they looked like us?
I would be suspicious, but would give them the benefit of the doubt. This form would be worrisome because it implies a higher chance of competition.
3. What if the aliens were disgusting looking (like a pile of rotten cheese), then how would you react?
I would be suspicious, but would give them the benefit of the doubt. This form would be somewhat less worrisome, but competition is always a possibility. I would be curious about their home environment.
4. The aliens are about to make an announcement and all communication goes out. Your neighbor says that she/he heard that the aliens have announced they are going to destroy Earth. Do you believe him/her? Why?
No. If our power is out, usually the neighbors' power goes out too. I would, however, continue to observe the aliens to the best of my ability until their true intentions were revealed. Rumor is not really sufficient grounds to make such an important decision.
5. The aliens have announced that they will share their knowledge with humanity if a certain person has sex with one of them and they call your name. To make it more palatable, the alien can change into any porn star that you want. Knowing that your partner will find out if you say yes, will you do it?
Probably, if it was physically safe; otherwise more creative accommodations would be required. At any rate, I'd need my partner to handle the video camera. Not sure I'd want the alien taking on a human guise, though, unless it went all the way down to neural mapping; otherwise it would be really hard to figure out what sort of stimulation to apply where.
*ponder* It would be tremendously gratifying to make them route all the shared knowledge through me since, after all, I'd be the one paying for it. There are some things I probably wouldn't want to release, and some things that I would make certain people get down and beg for before releasing. And in the interest of balancing some scales, I'd pick some moderately important stuff and hand it off to representatives of various oppressed groups, to release or not as they chose.
By this point the poor aliens would either have the worst case of morning-after regrets in the history of the galaxy, or would be laughing their balls off and offering hive marriage.
