Of course she believes in aliens! In fact she saw one before on October 4th! She was walking home one day and decided to take a shortcut through an empty field around midnight. There was a bright light that blinded her but when she could finally see there were small indents in the ground. Ever since then she's been looking around for more aliens!

kalon name: gerhardt, goes by gerry (pronounced like jerry but with a g)

do they believe in aliens? why/why not? (201/400): gerhardt thinks it's this whole confusing situation. whenever people claim that they've seen aliens before, he doesn't believe them and immediately says something along the lines of "well that's totally not true." however, he does believe in them. but it's hard to explain. he doesn't picture them as we do, he thinks that they either look completely different from what we picture aliens as or they look just like humans, so you would never be able to tell the difference. a lot of people call him silly or crazy for believing in this - but how can there not be life out there? astronauts are unable to explore all of space, so if they never see one from all of their researches, it doesn't mean they don't exist. he still, however, continues to believe of course. when people say that they don't think aliens exist, he finds it funny because they'd truly never know unless they went out themselves and explore all of space. even then? they wouldn't know. they're not able to do that, anyway. who knows if anyone will ever be able to do that. there has to be some type of life out there other than where gerry lives.

do they believe in aliens? why/why not?:

"Hey Veriaci, do you believe in aliens? Heard old man Tric does!" "Yeah, but half the time he's off his rocker, or muttering about something in his walls." Veriaci blinked at the kits in front of him, pausing the chopping down of the tree in front of him. "No, no. I don't believe in aliens at all, what made you ask that? And where is your mother, shouldn't she be watching you?" They shifted in front of him, suddenly very nervous and avoiding his gaze. "She's just out shopping, and said we could play!" He glared at them, peeved with their attempts to flee their mother. "Go back to yer mum, I know she isn't shopping; I saw her this morning and she said she was staying home." They groaned in front of him, and gave him the evil-eye, before heading off. Going back to his chopping, Veriaci listened as they ran out of sight, then shuddered, hard. No, no, don't think about that. That was then, and this is now. That was just a dream, it didn't really happen. Veriaci told himself, lies to pacify his inner demons.

Veriaci spat into the sink, then put his toothbrush under the water, before twisting the water off, plopping the toothbrush back into it's cup. Flopping onto his bed, he buried himself under the covers, determined to get a good nights sleep for once.

-

Oh god, where was he? Everything was blurry, the harsh lights above shone straight into his eyes, blinding him, forcing him to keep his eyes closed. He tried to cover them with his paws, but found he could not, no matter how hard he tugged. Throwing his head over to look, he stilled at the cuffs binding him to the table. Wait, table? Yes, he was on a table, a slab of shiny silver metal supporting him as he shivered with fear. Oh god, what was happening to him? He stared with wide eyes at the people standing above him, their features and outline contorted into a nightmare. They were looking at him, poking him, cutting him, writing on something. Oh god, this is how I am going to die. This is it, goodbye dad, I wish I was a better son. He shivered and shuddered, shaking with fear as he stared at his captors. And then, he screamed as something plunged into his side, burning him.

Veriaci smacked his poor stuffed rabbit onto the floor, screaming at the empty room with pure terror. He panted and sobbed, attempting to get himself together, moonlight painting his breakdown for all to see. Another nightmare, another dream fueling his insomniac tendencies. It was just a dream, just a dream, it wasn't real, it wasn't real, it wasn't real, he repeated to himself. After what felt like an eternity, he calmed down, staring at his ceiling fan. Just another nightmare, he thought, glancing at the clock beside him. 5:27 AM, another thirty minutes and he would be up for work. Deciding it better to stay awake and not have any more nightmares, he picked up his dropped stuffed-rabbit, placing it back on the bed, before heading towards the kitchen.

-

Veriaci isn't sure how to feel about aliens anymore, not after... that. It seemed so real, so vivid and terrifying, too clear to be fake. It wasn't like a normal dream or nightmare, where he mostly felt and thought, not actually seeing what was happening in such clear detail. Everything had been blurry then, but it still was too vivid to be a dream. The scar was proof of it.

kalon name: Cassiopeia

do they believe in aliens? why/why not?: (max. 400 words)

Of course Cassiopeia believes in aliens. She was raised from a very young age to be as open-minded as possible. She just couldn’t understand how some kalons couldn’t expand their thinking to include the possibility of aliens. After all, aliens may think of Cass’s kind as “aliens” or simply believe that they don’t exist. But, as Cass likes to reason, if they believe in her, the least she can do is believe in them.
Each night since she was small, she looked out at the infinite galaxy and pondered at what was out there. As her parents were astronomers, they were extremely pleased to learn that their dear Cassiopeia - named after the constellation of course - held a great affinity for the stars and beyond. They fed her desire to learn about the cosmos and told her about the possible extraterrestrial life that may live beyond this galaxy. Cass was fascinated by the possibility of the world of sentient beings being bigger than just this one species. She read any and all theories about the existence of aliens.
She fiercely argued against any naysayers of aliens, bringing up theory after theory, scientific paper after paper. This intense passion led to her following her parents’ path and becoming an astronomer. She was often asked if she believed in aliens and responded enthusiastically. Sometimes too enthusiastically, as she had scared off quite a few kalons with the intensity of her explanations.
There were those who harshly dismissed her words, she rebutted against them with remarks against how small-minded they were to believe that they were the only beings in the galaxies to be able to think, and talk, and interact with each other, and have a purpose in life. The nonbelievers would stare at her in dumbfounded disbelief as she ranted against the narrow thought process of kalons.
Yet it was true to Cass, for those who did not believe in aliens were incredibly short sighted to not see the bigger picture.

kalon name: Pepper

do they believe in aliens? why/why not?: Pepper not only believes in aliens but claims he has seen them with his own two eyes! Of course when he says this no one believes him and says he's being delusional. But no matter what people say he still keep his strong belief. The story goes that he was visiting his uncle's farm and was out in the paddocks at night. Suddenly, a bright light surrounded him and he looked up to see a UFO. He swore he could see strange creatures, all grey and with huge black eyes. However each time he explains the story, what exactly the aliens looked like is always different. Sometimes he describes them with tentacles or antennae and sometimes they are described with both. He blames this all on the fact it happened a long time ago and his memory is fuzzy. He also says they spoke to him but in a weird language that sounded like no other. And then as quick as it appeared, the UFO disappeared without a trace but the memory in Pepper's head.

Ever since, he has been interested in aliens and everything to do with space. He got a telescope once for his birthday and it's his most prized possession. Every time he visits his uncle's farm he brings his telescope along and camps in the paddock. Then at night he looks to the sky in hopes his alien friends visit once again. He hasn't ever seen them again yet but he believes the flashing lights he sees in the sky are them observing life on Earth. Other people may laugh at him but he's happy to have found something he is truly passionate in.

At his school he is starting an Alien Investigation Club in hopes of finding like-minded people to investigate for any sign of the extraterritorial. So far the only members are... just him. But he hopes for someone new to join soon enough!
