[銀河の物語] - Or Squibsim 2019

You get off your lazy butt to see how your new pets/children are doing. More specifically you want to make sure Blehpie isn't eating Red again. You enter the Kitchen, the last place you saw Red.

You look to see that Red and Blehpie are enjoying some quality time together. Red is excitedly bouncing atop Blehpie making the most precious whooping noises you'd ever heard. It's so darn cute you almost forget you got them in a snack machine.
Speaking of aftiks you suppose tou should get on that whole determining the legality of owning an aftik/adopting one as a child. You know what whould have the answers to that,
THE INTRANET!
Thankfully this place gives free wi-fi to residents, you think to yourself as you sit down at your computer and type in the search "Adopt Aftik What Do"

You get a series of search terms, the top link is obviously a link to the Cosmosdex entry on aftiks, which doesn't provide you with the information you actually need.

You then see a site promising "Simple DIY Aftik-style scarf for less than 1000p" You... didn't realize those were scarves, you didn't notice before that, no, red does not have one... You make sure to bookmark that for later.

The next link you spy is an article titled: "My aftik babysitter threatens to eat my baby, what do I do?" from the site: "AskOpis.com". You vaguely remember that site being mentioned in some of the "How to be a mom" books and articles your mother insisted you read.
You scroll down to read their response: "AskOpis suggests that if you do not wish to have your child eaten, then you shouldn't have hired an aftik babysitter, or at the very least, you should have hired a male one as a female aftik will most certainly make good on that threat before too long.
You should remember that not all species react to parenthood in the same way, and that you should consider that when thinking about potential caretakers for your child/children. If you are struggling to find the right species/individual to care for your child, we at AskOpis.com suggest you purchase an Opis unit, preferably from our store page.
Thank you and have a wonderful fulfilling parenthood."
That didn't exactly answer your question but It did give you something to consider... You're probably going to need to hire someone to look afters these two while you're at work.

Another link you spy is "A-Thousand-and-one-Ways To prepare an aftik" that leads to a site called "The_Sovorestocate.com" Morbid curiousity compels you to look which leads to a series of food recipes such as, but not limited to: Afitk Rotisserie in Egg; Whooperoo Flambe on Toast; Aftik on the Honch; Bloodboiled Aftik-fry
You begin to get slightly quesy at the concept, so you glance away, which is a terrible mistake. You see Links on the sidebar advertising articles with such titles as "Removing a notail from a notail with destroying the notail"; "Here we cook Drakons"; "Consider: Do Eat the slime"; "Solent Red: Why you should eat your friends"
and... no... oh no. "My QT Quelan GF and the secret to Infinite Free food."
You close the page and immediately delete it from your history... You're gonna need to... deal with this.
You go to the kitchen and drink a Frootopia. Who the heck even still has these? You evidently. You get back to your computer and scroll down.

The next link is titled "Aftiks: The Whooping Scourge of the Stars" You look at the website it leads to "Rhinostorm.com" You vaguely remember reading them, yeah. They're a bunch of arma Supremacists who just sort of hate everyone and everything that isn't an arma. Including some arma.
You might think that normal arma are racist with their "racial ladder" but these guys don't even have that; all non-arma are scum, and all non-arma should be removed.

Your foray into THE INTRANET wasn't very helpful, and honestly left you feeling a little scarred. You're not eager to go delving back into there, so you figure you'll look somewhere else for this information, like maybe city hall, they probably don't have articles about people... doing weird stuff to quelans... on a site about eating sentients. A shiver runs up your back at the thought.

The perfect thing to do in this scenario would be to wind down with some BOB, surely Bob's sedate painting and advice will soothe you from the horrors of THE INTRANET. You pick up Red and Blehpie to join you, it's like a... family get together, or something, you don't know...

You switch on the TV to the Bob channel, and you are immediately met with the calming intonations of Bob as they go on about painting. Blehpie and Red are equally enamored and for the first time since you've known them are completely calm, aside from the soft cooing "woop" that red is making.
The three of you proceed to spend the next few hours or so watching Bob paint beautiful pastoral images while explaining about the process and delivering advice that while mostly applicable to painting can also be applied to your everyday life if you twist it right. You never figured yourself an artist or anything of the sort, but watching the show is engendering in you a nascent interest, it would be something to do with your time.
After a while you look to the clock which presently reads 5:55. You almost can't believe you spent nearly Six hours watching someone paint, but you did. Red and Blehpie seem to be getting a little tired. You should probably get some sort of sleeping arrangement situated for them. As for you, you don't usually go to bed this early, honestly you're usually getting back home just about an hour or two later.

You know you said you'd get to work early, but you don't think you'll be going to sleep this early, it's just not in your nature... mostly.
