If indeed it was a grift, it was done very poorly.

Krep contacted Thoos’s parents, Porpa and Heakie, and brought them up on his monitor, saying “hello, Starslicks. My name is Krep. And I have your child. I’m offering to bring them home. But they have no money, so I wanted to make sure you are willing to pay the fare.” Porpa said, “thank goodness. Yes. We were so worried.” Heakie said, “please, put them onscreen.” Presenting Thoos, in Audri’s body, Krep said, “here’s Thoos.” Porpa and Heakie go silent, stunned, and then Heakie said “that’s not Thoos.” Krep replied, “well, apparently they were part of a scientific experiment which put their consciousness in a human body.” Looking concerned, Porpa said, “the only reason we’re still on the line is because you are so bad at grifting. We’re not so out of touch that we don’t have some heart.” Heakie added, “maybe we could donate to you taking a grifting course or something.”

Speak Thoos! Be a good girl and speak. Then roll over and play dead.
So Tithorons still require two parents to have kids? I thought they were asexual, implying no genders at all, like the Namekians of DBZ.
They could be like snails. Each snail can be both a dad and a mom to little snailings, but they still couple with another snail to produce their offspring. The advantage is that they get gene mixing this way, which is a better strategy for evolutive adaptation than just the random mutations you get from parthenogenesis.
So that’s hermaphroditic. Asexual means no coupling required.
Which doesn’t mean that they don’t pair up for the child-rearing process… Having someone to keep an eye on the little furballs while you sleep is handy regardless of how they got there.
Really, Krep, how did you think this was going to go?
They can’t handle the Thoos.
Krep is not only no good at grifting, he’s no good at playing it on the up and up!
So now Krep has to get the consciousness-swap reversed in order to pick up this fare.
I had no idea grifting courses were available.
Probably can be had at the good old GOB…..
Quick! Ask Thoos what she plans to do for Saint Patrick’s Day! Or does Thoos, like Audri, go by third-person pronouns? I’m SO confused!
