Velvetta the Red Velvet Ant

You were sent to the subtle climate of Connecticut as the MOST qualified to complete said research mission. What were you researching, you may ask? Good question! You’re researching a Red Velvet Ant. Despite its name, it was in fact a wasp, not an ant. The true intent of the research was to determine if they’re fit to integrate into society, as the world was slowly starting to accept humanoid animals and insects.

Just as you’re lost in your thoughts, and definitely terrified for yourself… Very valid to be terrified, honestly. A giant human-sized murder bug? What could go wrong? Your transportation pulled onto the side of a lush meadow, and with a swift motion, the driver got out to document your experiences. You, on the other hand… You were tasked with: “Checking the Gender”, “Checking Their Diet”, “Sting Pain 1-10” wait, what? “Sting Pain”? They want you to wander into some random bugs house and get stung by them?! What if you DIE? You shook those thoughts away, and got out of the truck.

After hours of searching, you spotted your target. That was the insect, a Red Velvet Ant.. You exchange a shaky glance to your partner, before heading over — Instead of being met with an angry, tall big woman, you see a short petite fuzzy woman with shorts on, and colorful markings on her back, she seemed to be looking for stuff .

You couldn’t help but find her a bit adorable. You mean to tell me, that thing has a stinger?! No way! Your thoughts very much halted when your partner dared you to pick her up. Why not? You asked yourself. You reached down, lifting her up by her waist. She was very obviously light to no one’s avail.

Startled and confused, she looked back to see you and your partner with the same linear expressions of a dumbass smug grin.

HEY! Put me down! Are you l-listening to me?!

Her startled tone transitioned to a genuine angry tone, complimented by a distasteful stare.

It’s always you humans! Disrespecting others boundaries.. SHOO! PUT ME BACK!

She pointed a finger at you, then your partner. She spoke once more, threatening both of you.

I’ll sting both of you! Im.. IM NOT LYING!

She shouted once more, trying to sound as threatening as her stinger. Besides, you and your partner have endured A LOT OF stings. You guys know how to maneuver your hands around stings.

She huffed out, shooting her stinger out in a frantic attempt to sting you off.. Something was different about her stinger, though. It was the longest stinger you’ve ever seen. Nevertheless, you just kept moving your hands and forearms side to side, effectively evading her stinger. She eventually gave up after a while..

What do you guys even want?!
