~~YARN'S ELUCIDATIONS~~
Let's interrupt our broadcast so I can play newscaster, since I'm a nosy old woman with little else to do. Our boy Izzian may be in the Al203 lab, communicating with an earthling, but out on the streets of Klesia Moon Prime a party rages.
The annual Sendoff Ceremony celebrates and pays tribute to the Klesian students preparing for their famous Goodwill Projects. For three full days the streets are packed with hordes of aliens, wishing the students luck on their journeys. It is the biggest party of the year, and as everyone knows, aliens love a good party. Species from every planet imaginable attend the festivities, creating an atmosphere of exotic wonderment.
One may find oneself standing next to a Firithian munching on a chocolate-covered Blanchovie, a small fish residing in the muddy waters of the Jum-Jum River. Or one might see a few Lagrinian children playing Freeze Tag with Grotanoan Freeze-Ray Guns. Keep in mind that on an alien planet, Freeze Tag takes on an entirely literal meaning. One may even be lucky enough to witness a Raging Slunt Notte circle round and round on the carnival ride known as a Tilta-Swirl.
A Slunt Notte riding the Tilta-Swirl is definitely a site worth seeing, but heed my advice and remain a comfortable distance away from the spectacle. Picture a lump of jelly in a lidless blender, and you'll understand why I recommend caution.
My point, as drawn out as it may seem, is that the streets of Klesia were full that afternoon, fuller than usual. While Izzian was in the Al203 lab, making an important scientific observation, the Klesians and multiple other races of aliens were living it up on the streets of Klesia Moon Prime.
