Humans are the only animals not afraid of fire. They put it on cakes, inside carved pumpkins, and even breathe it (smoking). I think it’s a predator detergent.

Grounded by weather, I took the tram and observed a human commuting protocol:
Watch anyone not watching you; if eyes meet, switch targets or study the window.
As a 2-meter bat, all eyes tracked me—until I looked back; the human herd performed window study until I looked away.

Humans say “don’t judge a book by its cover”.
In the field, cover is all you get. I judge fast (survival), then revise politely.
If I flared my wings and later said hello, that was the update.

I was asked “How are you, Nyxx?” I delivered the full health and inventory report. She said “that’s great”, petted me, and left.
Another successful human interaction.

Rooftop study: obedience lamps conduct humans. They queue at crosswalks (red) and rush on cue (green). Cars honk at strays.
I tested it. The lamp flipped red mid-cross, so I stopped in the lane. Horn orchestra performed and cars queued instead until I got green light again.

Exciting discovery: humans lack movable ears/tails, so mood is harder to read.
They bounce a leg instead—shows under sitting stress, speeds with excitement. Try monitoring knees.
Proud of this one.

Petting tip for fellow animals: humans like feedback. If they start petting you and you consent, make a small happy chirp. They laugh and keep petting. Reliable.

Humans: your noses are weak next to ours, so here’s why we sniff you. One breath tells diet, which animals you petted, and your household.
The face has the strongest signal; I lean in and you flinch. That’s rude.
Don’t be spooked—I won’t bite.

Last night report: humans ran a controlled-fear ritual with candy redistribution—“#Halloween”. I joined: glow skeleton painted on my fur (bat costume). Someone said “on the nose”; I checked—nose clear. Masks spooked me; window hover spooked two back (apology). Many sweets earned and served.

A few days ago, humans lined the street with burning pumpkins for #halloween. At first, I yelled “FIRE” and deployed a wet towel, but they laughed.
Hypothesis: humans are not afraid of fire, but I am.
I swapped one candle for a glow stick and returned it later.

Receipts are victory slips from successful trade deals. I never throw them out; they live in my Receipt Album. Guests receive a short tour. The ink that disappears later is a privacy feature, I think.

Mixed-species convoy:
productivity clothes on so humans don’t yell NSFW and stop working.
Chain-flail wyvern gets the fun job;
artillery elephant runs cover for the dagger-slinky.
I’d apply and offer open Wi-Fi via my antenna, but this era lacked smartphones.

Warning: some human colonies rolled clocks back 1 hour. They call it “winter time”; I think it’s an excuse to sleep longer. I arrived an hour early to a meeting, triggered the night alarm, and hung in the lobby while security discussed “the bat situation”.

Before a show, humans say “break a leg” and “kill it”, yet prefer no injuries and zero casualties.
I conclude these are falsehood drills—practice for critical thinking.
If you bring splints, you fail. I failed, loudly.

Asked a basic question about human mating protocol; mic was on.
The room laughed, I got a nickname I won’t repeat. Answers contradicted and self-reports inflated. Fresh “virginity” lore appeared.
Logged: humans exaggerate their sexual experience. I’ll keep asking—data before dignity.

During a disagreement, I tried to look indifferent and forgot my ears. They signaled anxiety; humans—whose ears don’t move—still read them and asked if I was okay.
I got more nervous but then they made me tea.
It helped.
