So a flying saucer appears over your house, and suddenly you find yourself talking to aliens.
In case you're curious, the aliens kind of look like octopi.
Anyways, the aliens tell you that they consider humans to be really cute, and they would really like to take one back with them on their spaceship to travel the universe. Since they believe in consent, they don't make any species into their pets unless they consent to it.
Since Earth isn't a signatory on the Intergalactic Sapiens Treaty, humans have zero rights in the galaxy. Humans are considered too primitive/dumb to have rights, and specifically we think too slowly (i.e. most other "sentient" aliens can have hundreds of thoughts per second). Incidentally, it's excruciatingly painful for them to talk to you right now because they have to slow down their regular speech 1000x. The aliens condescendingly say that you won't be able to know what's best for yourself, so occasionally you might be locked in a room/cage for your own safety.
On the other hand, there is also an Intergalactic Animal Abuse Treaty, which effectively makes animal abuse illegal. In accordance to the treaty, they will definitely makes sure that you have plenty to eat, sleep, and have your health and other basic necessities taken care of.
The octopi aliens explain that they think humans are cute for their modern human-like behavior. Specifically, they think the way that humans fiddle with electronic devices and so forth are cute, so they'll probably give you all sorts of toys to play with. It's not possible to have an Internet connection back to Earth though, since Earth isn't on the Intergalactic network.
Finally, this agreement is effectively permanent. These aliens don't visit the same star system twice in the span of millions of years, so they have zero intention to come back to Earth after they leave. Similarly speaking, you can't back out of being a pet once you agree to being one.

1. Would you agree to becoming an alien's pet? Why or why not?

2. Could the aliens offer better conditions / better toys to make the offer seem more enticing? If yes, what would you want?

3. What are your worst fears?

4. Could you live a highly regimented lifestyle? (i.e. someone else choosing what you eat for dinner, etc.)

5. Could you bear going on an intergalactic journey without human contact for a long period of time?

Nope. I'm not sure about their true intentions.

Maybe I should give a try if that happens. The only thing I want in this scenario is instant death.

3. What are your worst fears?

Slow, painful death.

4. Could you live a highly regimented lifestyle? (i.e. someone else choosing what you eat for dinner, etc.)

Nope. I'm highly-spontaneous; it'd kill me, but slowly.

5. Could you bear going on an intergalactic journey without human contact for a long period of time?

Yep. There are many other cultures to explore, so it's a yes.

1. Yes. Mostly because, the world is a scary place and if they're gonna give me all the toys I want and take care of me I'll be happy.

2. Umm... well if they could take my loved ones as pets too, because I would miss the people I care about.

3. Mostly just them growing tired of me as I grow older, or them being too concerned for my "health" that they don't give me tasty food.

4. Yes. This actually sounds better than having to come up with it myself. XD I stress all the time about what I'm going to cook for dinner, so I'm super into the idea of someone else just taking the reigns.

5. Well... I did say in the whole "better conditions" part that I'd want them to take my loved ones along. But yeah... I don't really think I need human contact. Just "some contact" is nice. Like ya know... my alien owners patting me on the head, or petting my back, like we do with dogs. Just the whole "oh yeah, someone does care about me" thing. Even if the person who cares about you... is only caring about you as their pet.

I say nope! I have standards and my own pride and will now bow down to mere aliens!

Now if you excuse me... master is calling...

If we're considering that everything stated about the aliens is 100% factual, then sure. I mean, if my family and friends would miss me and I'd run away from my ordinary life, then maybe not, but considering humans have zero rights, it's safe to say I no longer live an ordinary life and would therefore not mind running away on space-capades. There'd be certain conditions though. Like, there better be an alien equivalent to CN's and webcomics or they can kiss my ass goodbye. If there is, it would be cool to see things get updated at the speed of light because they think so much faster. I might also say no because I want to see the end to things I am currently watching/reading. Also, I'd be curious why they offered me the position of pet. There's much cuter humans out there.
2. Could the aliens offer better conditions / better toys to make the offer seem more enticing? If yes, what would you want?
Access to earth's internet would be great, because I doubt I could publish a web novel if all my competitors work 1000 times faster than me, unless I'm 1000 times better than them, which is essentially impossible to begin with. Or maybe sped up thoughts, but I doubt they could do that or we'd already have rights.
3. What are your worst fears?
Like, in general? Or relating to aliens?
In general, probably pain. But with aliens, I'd be scared their 1000% brain speed decided they no longer needed animal protection laws.
4. Could you live a highly regimented lifestyle? (i.e. someone else choosing what you eat for dinner, etc.)
I eat the exact same cereal for breakfast almost every single morning, and I'm not quite sure what that has to do with the question but it seemed like a fitting implied response.
Also, yes.
5. Could you bear going on an intergalactic journey without human contact for a long period of time?
I would say yeah, but maybe I'm underestimating the importance of human interaction.

At the end of the day, I just hope their definition of "pet" isn't some BDSM thing where I have to crawl around naked with a collar around my neck.

well, maybe-

Is it really a BDSM thing if you crawl around naked with a collar? Cuz I mean, our pets crawl around naked with collars. That's the benefit with being a pet, nobody really expects you to wear clothing!

I'd probably still wear clothing, I get cold easily. I wonder what temperature the theoretical alien pet owners keep their space ship?

It was a pretty uncultured assumption yeah, but I saw something similar once and just made an educated guess that it'd fit into the category.

last year... I had so much hope... but 2020... its been quite rough...

2. Could the aliens offer better conditions / better toys to make the offer seem more enticing? If yes, what would you want?
Just all the shots, cures, vaccines, cybernetics... the whole shebang...

3. What are your worst fears?
Turning a global pandemic to an intergalactic pandemic

4. Could you live a highly regimented lifestyle? (i.e. someone else choosing what you eat for dinner, etc.)
I might struggle a bit there, I can do a very regimental professional/working life, but I am totally opposite once I clock out.

5. Could you bear going on an intergalactic journey without human contact for a long period of time?
Yep, I have no problem with talking to myself, my estimate.. I can go.... 5 years without human contact before I go a bit weird.... or forget what being human means.

Getting away from this world I have zero interest in? Sure. Why not.

1) Guess I already answered that.
2) I'd love some Full Dive VR video games to play in my free time, which I would apparently have quite a bit of.
3) . . . This reality I already live in? Also Heights? Mostly mechanical heights as I call it. But in space I have no reference point for the "Ground" so I should be fine.
4) I think so, yes. Might have some favorite meals I'd request occasionally, but if I've already agreed to the situation, I doubt I'd object too much to missing out on those specific things.
5) I already don't interact with people much in person, so probably.
6) Nothing listed here, but as a question from me, would there be any kinky aspects to me being treated as a "pet"? Cause, I am, VERY much into that kinda thing. . .

You don't mind the aliens being octopi? :blobrofl::blobrofl::blobrofl:

I think they would answer that it's basically bestiality for them, so they're not interested.

That said, they're understanding that animals have urges to breed and stuff so...

Probably not. Pros would be a chance for an adventure, but a massive con would be losing control of your life and be at the mercy of some entity that you could ever hope to understand.

2. Could the aliens offer better conditions / better toys to make the offer seem more enticing? If yes, what would you want?
Immunity to disease and old age. Cybernetic upgrades, VR (long journey = entertainment is needed), brain upgrade for instant perfect recall and parallel thoughts (better understand your captives), enhancement of body, such as super strength, ability to survive in void (pretty necessary since it's a space journey and who knows what might go wrong). A female companion, maybe design your ultimate dream girl? Want your own harem, these super advanced aliens might be able to make it for you.

3. What are your worst fears?
Slow painful death. Aliens going bored, thus deciding that I'm more trouble than I'm worth and gets executed without being able to do anything about it. Basically loss of agency and freedom to make own decisions. Forced to fight in some weird intergalactic death match/survival game for pets. Oh yea. And tentacles - just nope.

4. Could you live a highly regimented lifestyle? (i.e. someone else choosing what you eat for dinner, etc.)
You do that in the army, so yea.

5. Could you bear going on an intergalactic journey without human contact for a long period of time?
Probably. Depends on being able to find substitutes for human contact, such as a VR game with fully cognizant AIs, or maybe finding another "sub"-race that's similar to human, such as elves or whatnot.

I am a very high-matenence human, naturally very curious and mischievous. Toys are fine, though I am a very picky eater. I would also miss talking to other humans I know on a regular basis.

This situation reminds me of stories where humans take in a highly social animal from its natural habitat, and it suffers as a result. An example of this I could name is a mall that had a single dolphin on display for several years, and it got depressed.

I like octopodes a lot, they are my favorite animal, though not in that way.
