Chapter 41

> Brain slug eye spots are weak optical sensors, useful for navigating their native temperate rainforests based on the intensity and location of their local sun, moon, and stars. Human eyes are much more prominent and critical sensory organs. When integrated into a human host, th...

Chapter 42

> Face the brain slug directly. Conversation should begin with eye contact, just to make sure you have their attention, but their eyes will drift as you begin to sign, as they follow the movements. If it is helpful to you to speak aloud while signing, do so. Remember that most br...

Chapter 43

> Just as a brain slug's eyespots complement the host's vision, the brain slug's chemoreceptors complement the host's sense of smell and taste. Most brain slugs emphasize connections to these sensory organs and their processing structures in the brain, which can make them very se...

Chapter 44

> Skinship is important to brain slug hosts. The more interested they become in an individual, the greater physical contact they desire—not just intimate contact, but touching, cuddling, hugs, even kisses. In this way, they seek to imprint more of their smell on that individual....

Chapter 45

> In humans, taste and smell are closely interconnected. Brain slugs tend to focus strongly on these senses during early development. Part of the cultural acclimation is getting brain slug hosts to stop licking people to find out more about that. > —*How To Talk To Brain Slugs...

Chapter 46

> Given their focus on smell and taste, it should come as no surprise that brain slug hosts quickly took to oral sex. It is by far their most common sexual practice. Potential partners should keep their genitalia clean, preferably shave off pubic hair that can retain odors, and r...

Chapter 47

> A brain slug host knows its own strength and is not afraid to use it. > —*How To Talk To Brain Slugs*, Chapter 4: Touch The apartment was quiet as Mel and Rachel came in, as it often was when there was no one but the brain slug hosts present. The bathroom door was closed; pr...

Chapter 49

> Brain slug hosts' ears work perfectly. > —*How To Talk To Brain Slugs*, Chapter 5: Hearing Shower. Sleep. Awake. Exercise. Ramen. Jordan stood before the door that led out of the apartment. Her eyes were shadowed, as if she hadn't gotten enough sleep. Arms by her side. Some...

Chapter 51

> Brain slugs and their hosts have other, less primary senses, which are also important. It is well attested that the exposed integument of brain slugs is sensitive to microwave emissions, and tend to avoid microwave ovens in use. The electrosensitive structures that helps the br...

Chapter 52

> These subtler senses of brain slug hosts are not merely passive. They are channels of communication that are actively used. Low-level emission of electrical impulses, microwave radiation, infrasound, and other signals is constant. Human beings around brain slug hosts are being...

Chapter 53

> "Slug signs" are a subset of American Sign Language signs that have developed to meet the specific communications needs associated with brain slug hosts. On the following pages are signs for "Hive Mind," "World Soul," "Feral brain slug," "slug fucker," "protect your neck," and...

Chapter 54

> They secrete lubricant easily, but the labia and clitoris are ultra-sensitive. Find the opening of the vaginal canal and trace it in slow circles. Listen for their breathing, feel the motion of their hips. Get into a rhythm. If you're comfortable with it, let them use their han...

Chapter 55

> You can't make a brain slug talk to you unless they want to. > —*How To Talk To Brain Slugs*, Appendix: Tips & Tricks They sat in front of the fridge, Mel and Jordan, Soong and Rachel. That gave them the magnetic alphabet letters to play with. Rachel's smartphone, if they ne...

Chapter 56

> By repeatedly experiencing climax to the point of sexual exhaustion, the human mind can enter an altered state of consciousness. Crowley called this technique eroto-comotose lucidity. Entering this state when sexually engaged with brain slug hosts opens the human mind to channe...

Chapter 57

> Tales of cannibalism and ramen are generally exaggerated. Issei Sagawa did not make ramen with human flesh in 1981. Esther Choy did claim she could menstruate a better batch of ramen than other ramen chefs, but the dark broth she produced for a select clientele was achieved wit...

Chapter 58

> Brain slugs are naturally hermaphroditic, and gametes analogous to sperm and ovum in Earth life, although the actual cell structures are different: the "traveler cells" have four flagella, hair-like appendages that provide movement, while the "receptor cells" aggressively absor...

by Zeebop

Chapter 59

> Fertilized receptor cells develop a thicker coating that is resistant to human digestive enzymes, enabling the cell to penetrate deeper into the body and provoking an immune response. Most healthy human immune systems can effectively destroy an infection, unless the immune syst...

Chapter 60

> Brain slug kinks aren't human kinks. It's thought that some arise out of improper neural connections. Certain sensations become associated with pleasure, or cross-wired to erogenous zones. Taste might be wired directly to sexual excitement, so that a fresh pickle might literall...

Chapter 61

> Brain slugs do not have gods; they do not believe in spirits or supernatural entities in any conventional sense, but they are not without mythology or folktales. Most of their fears center around errors of integration with a host: the Mindless Ones, who fail to achieve sapience...

Chapter 62

> Brain slug hosts have feelings, too. While their faces often lack expression except for pain, brain slugs hosts still feel human emotions, filtered through the brain slug's own understanding. Rather than process emotions individually as humans do, they seek the support of other...
