What are these green creatures that break into apartments? Are they common here?

I was filling a bath when one burst in on me. It developed disgusting sores on its back that grew into more creatures. I managed to strangle the first with a hair dryer cord before it could do much more damage, and then I threw the dryer in the tub to deal with the new ones. That seemed to work. I think the bathroom is ruined now.

What do I do with the bodies?

They're called gremlins and no, they definitely aren't common here.

Water makes them multiply and sunlight is deadly to them. They can die other ways, but if you want to be safe from them, you need to get outside in the sunlight.

They're dangerous, so be careful. I'm going to contact the man in charge of crisis management to let him know what's going on. ~~Hopefully~~ He'll have a plan.

	Ah. Is this one of those strange happenings? That explains why they went for my bath. Is it safe to leave the bodies unattended? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If I might make a suggestion: put the bodies outside, just in case. It'll make sure they won't do anything weird like come back from the dead. </s>Can't say I've ever dealt with gremlins before, of all things.</s> (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I very much hope they don't do that. I'll move them. What do you normally deal with, Commander? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, you know: hostile aliens, telepathic ships that want to wipe out all galactic life, giant bug-things, mind-control plants and their zombie followers... The usual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose I'll have to take your word for it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Burn the bodies. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What with? I haven't exactly been shopping for fire supplies since I was brought here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, that's a bit of a problem. I take it you don't have access to a car and a lighter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I just snapped another creature's neck, and no, I don't have either of those. I've never had them. I haven't met my roommate, or I'd ask. And what does a car have to do with making fire? I'm not going to set a car on fire just to burn up these things. Or is it for the fuel? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For the fuel, yes. I wouldn't recommend driving anything anywhere right now, as those little bastards seem to like tinkering with things like brake-lines and engine parts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I suppose it's good that I like to walk, then. I'm going to pile bodies outside the apartment building. Maybe somebody else will be able to burn them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
