Here's some stuff I wrote on the Discord server.
Responding to Egerius while discussing yinrih bathroom habits:
<HTML><blockquote>
You manage to position yourself over the toilet. This bathroom is mercifully empty, and the hallway outside is deserted. The stall is something out of a nightmare, no door, walls barely two feet high, not even tall enough to obscure a yinrih’s head. Just as you start to relax, you hear the telltale tap-tap of claws on tile. Someone has entered the bathroom.
To your horror, he takes up residence in the stall next to you. You notice a flash of red and flick your eyes to the side without moving your head to get a better look at him. Atop his head is a red baseball cap, his ears sticking out of holes cut into the sides. The words “Make America Great Again” are written across the front. The other red garment is a tee shirt, his forelegs slid through the sleeves and the care tag barely visible amidst the white fluff of his chest fur. Che Guevara’s face is emblazoned across the alien’s back, glaring defiantly at the ceiling.
The yinrih turns and notices you.
“Wow, a human!” he synthesizes, tapping the partition between you with a claw.
You stare even harder at the far wall as sweat begins bedewing your brow. The monkey fox does not take your silence the way you had hoped, launching into a breathless monologue, thankfully steering clear of the topics broached by his clothing.
You push the tinny voice of his synth as far back in your mind as you can, though snatches of his soliloquy breach the surface of your consciousness.
“…But then I took an arrow in the knee…
…And he turns himself into a pickle…
…The cake is a lie…”
At this point you’re drenched in so much sweat that you don’t need to pee anymore.
Then something he says drags you back to reality. “…And they have these stripes running across their back. Other than that they look a lot like we do. They can even stand on their hind legs. I saw vids of one in one of your zoos. Shame they went extinct…”

In response to Artaϙυηrxes commenting on Spacers eating “kibble”:

Angry yinrih “Hey I find that offensive! We're not dogs.”
Other yinrih: “Oh, don't be so sensitive, dogs are cool” *holds up a Welsh corgi while giving it ear scritches* “yesyouare whoseagoodboy?”
Angry yinrih: “Yeah, just wait till a human thinks you're a dog and tries scratching YOU behind the ears.”
Other yinrih: “We don't look THAT much like dogs. See? They have four digits, we have six, they have digitigrade feet, ours are plantigrade. A human's not going to mistake me for a dog.”
Angry yinrih: “Oh you poor licker, I envy your blissful ignorance.” *gestures to a vid screen showing a human spending entirely too much time trying to pull open a door clearly marked 'PUSH'* “For creatures that rely almost entirely on vision they sure miss some obvious signs. All they see is a furry face and a wet nose.”
