Milie bets you’re wondering what song Milie is humming. It’s from this smashing musical Milie’s parents took her to see in London.

It was wonderfully vulgar and completely absurd and Jare Bear, it had aliens and ray guns!

Milie must take you to see it!

[Jareth Stardust]

REAL ALIENS? I knew they were musically inclince, I just knew it!

I would be absolutely positively THRILLED if you took me to meet them.

What were the ray guns like? Do you suppose that might let me procure one? Did they speak English? Or in musical notes? Or strictly telepathically as I have suspected? I tried to persuade Mr. Hagrid into having a lesson on aliens. I even provided him with educational text on it.

Oh goodness that must've been a spectacular experience, Milie.

[Milie Gunabie]

Heheheh no silly! The aliens weren't real, the actors played alien characters in the show! The show was about... okay so Milie doesn't really know what it was about but it had splendid music and transvestites and doctors and aliens and ray guns. Milie doesn't think the ray guns were real either, but they were cool special effects!

It was spectacular all the same though, and Milie thinks you'd like it because it was all sci-fi-y.

[Jareth Stardust]

Oh, I get it! We should really go to that, me thinks. If you don't mind seeing it again? It sounds spectacular, honest.

Were the aliens transvestites? Or were the other characters the transvestites? Or transvestites playing the aliens? You know, there's an alien species from the pieces quadrant that can change they're sex from female to male depending on the current populace and demand. Sort of like frogs. But taller and they can do advanced algebra.

My dad has taken me to a few plays, but I usually end up at concerts. I could take Milie to a concert if she took me to a play?

Of course Milie doesn't mind! Milie loved it! It's called The Rocky Horror Show, by the way - don't think Milie mentioned that before.

Erm, sorta! Almost all of the characters are at some point Milie thinks. It's quite complicated, you see. But Milie doesn't think that the actors are really transvestites... Is there really? -- wait, frogs can do that? That would get confusing for Milie. Talk about identity crisis! (;

Oh Jare that would be excellent! Deal! What sort of concerts do you usually end up at?

[Jareth Stardust]

Oh! Were there pet rocks, then? I don't think I've ever heard of that.

That does sound a bit complicated but I am further intrigued. They do indeed! Some magical animal species do it as well. It's quite practical, you know. I think there would be a lot less angry people in the world if we could just swap our genders when necessary. The famale to male ratio of the general populace would be kept pretty even. Then it wouldn't matter who you like either because you could just switch your sex to accomodate. Funny, isn't it? We're just behind in the evolutionary tract a bit.

Oh, you know, a few random bands here and there. My dad is a very famous musician now, so he likes to take me to a lot of bands. Most recently I saw The Talking Heads. I was quite excited but then I got there and it was just three guys and some lady. Disembodied singing heads in sight. I explanined my disappointment to my dad but I don't think he understood...

[Milie Gunabie]

Heh, no, Milie thinks it's just called that because the one character (the main transvestite) creates this other really muscle-y character and names him Rocky.

Very funny! And convenient Milie guesses. Or practical, yeah. But how do you know all this Jare? About those aliens, Milie means. Is there an alien textbook? Can Milie see it?

Ah, but that's still fabulous! Plus, Milie imagines that disembodied heads would have trouble touring. Did you at least get a souvenir t-shirt?

[Jareth Stardust]

That sounds ridiculous and fascinating! I suppose that does make sense for the name of a muscle bound creation. Sounds a bit like Frankenstein which is truly a fantastic biography, if you've read it. I always feel bad for Dr. Frankenstein.

Oh I have had many interactions with aliens and have taken copious amounts of notes on the subject. It's a bit frustrating how both muggles and wizards try to deny their existence, I think it's because aliens are such a perfect blend of both. You should really come with me one of these upcoming nights to the astronomy tower. I'm currently conducting some research on the humanoids from Venus. Veelas are descendants from Venus, you know.

Jareth stared at her note for a moment, mulling over the practicality of heads actually being able to travel. And then she realized she was making a joke and let out a burst of his odd, giggling-type laughter.

That's very funny! You're right, that wouldn't be easy at all! And they wouldn't have lungs or air capacity to begin with!

[Milie Gunabie]

Oh it was, it was! Milie always felt bad for the monster. S'not his fault he was created to be all scary looking. But....isn't Frankenstein just fiction?

Wait, interactions? You mean you've like met aliens?! Like, real live aliens? Where!? Milie would very much like to meet one!

Milie would love to go with you! Milie didn't know there was life on Venus...

Heheh thanks! And yes, exactly! They'd have to be carried around in buckets. Or something.
