You feel curious at this voice, and eager to answer its compliment in kind. You’ve never seen a single other living creature, or even really yourself yet for that matter, but you feel like being adorable is a good thing. Forming a response in your head, you....
You…
...You’re pretty sure there’s supposed to be some way to communicate with other people. That voice said something to you, didn’t it? But whatever it is, you can’t quite think of it, can’t quite work out how to convey meaning from your mind into theirs. You feel like it might be related to sound? You’re not sure how though. Whenever you try making a noise, it sounds like an uncountable number of voices speaking simultaneously, some low, some high, some smooth, some rough, all blending into a singular cacophonous symphony. It’s kinda cool, but you can’t seem to make there be any connection between the sounds you produce and the thoughts in your head.
But even if you can’t communicate any specific meanings directly, you can still express your emotions through your body.
You start off slow, just bobbing your knees to a beat only you can hear. Before it gets boring, you start swiveling your arms around and shaking your hands at the end of them, sometimes bringing them together with a clap. You slowly lean backwards, before jumping forward and landing with a spin on one foot. You move your body in a wavelike motion while jumping around, throwing a few more dabs in for good measure, before finishing with a flourish towards the sky, and then falling over.
You hope that did the trick. You hear nothing but silence for a few moments, before what sounds like a slightly muffled high-pitched squeal inside your head. Eventually it cuts off. “Wow you really like moving! You have to meet the others, it’ll be great!”
The room’s door opens, and two figures peek in from beyond. One is brown and short with a prominent nose and pointed ears, their hands pawlike compared to yours, while the other is tall and flat, a circular knob protruding from their midsection. Both of them look at you with curiosity.
