hey guys guess what: blankets!!! me and TF to the fucking rescue, we rustled up like 40 of these bad boys
super cozy, some nice patterns. one of them has a robot wolf on it
it was also all entirely legal

they're ALMOST free, all you gotta do is tell me a story then come get one (i'm by those spiky ass fat plants that bleed if you knock them over)

also since i have 40 and there's more than 40 of us, i guess also pick someone to get cozy with

Alright, check it—

The year's 2023, and Earth's finally begun to expand its space travel. Ships, suits, the whole shebang — we're ready, and we're stoked. Little did we know, civilizations from all around the universe were already doing what we were just about to do, for millions of years before us, and better. Now this would've been all fine and dandy if they were like the kindly old neighbors you meet in some suburban area, you know, the old ladies with the cookies, the grandmas and grandpas that just wanna make sure you've eaten enough, are you sure, you're skin and bones!

But they weren't. At least not the ones that finally get to Earth. These guys? These guys are bad news. Seriously &mdsah; they're conquer-the-far-corners-of-the-universe-and-make-everyone-our-slaves bad news. They're the kinda neighbors that make you seriously consider moving, except we're humans, and we're stuck on Earth, so there's nothing we can really do about it.

But that's where our heroes come in!

Five unlikely teens*. You got Leo — ace pilot, popular with the ladies, hella good sense of style and humoar! Definitely the undisputed leader of the group hands down.

Then there's Hector — sharp as a whip but built like a tank. He's the guy you want on your side at all times, and he's the the guy who's never gonna leave your side no matter what.

Next is Pip — scrappy, sassy, and pretty much a bonafide genius. A little scary, but usually in the way that's definitely beneficial to the team.

Then we got Shawn — cool, collected, and definitely level-headed. He's the one you look to when things start breaking apart all around you, and he's the one making sure you're all back on track.

...And then there's Ken, I guess, who's just kind of sort of there. And he's got dumb hair.
