[Raven is sitting on a bench when the phone clicks on, in her 'blonde, normal guise,' dressed in a mix of modern and out of date clothing, her legs crossed, foot bobbing in a faint, unconscious twitch. She's not looking at the camera at first, but watching some people go by before her gaze finally shifts to the screen. She's still not really used

disguises are something of a speciality for me.

[blue_and_proud]

[She smiles faintly.]

Me too.

WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING LKDSJFAD

[subconman]

there's no shame in disguises. blending in to a crowd is an art form.

[blue_and_proud]

If you want to, sure.

But people shouldn't have to.

Is there something wrong with being different?

[blue_and_proud]

No.

But that doesn't stop people who aren't from acting like there is.

[screwmeister]

Oh.

Personally I don't think there's any point in hiding your appearance, sticking out is just another way of being unique!~

[blue_and_proud]

Being unique can be dangerous though. If people take offense or want you gone.

There was an idiot here before who tried to get some whole anti-mutant campaign from his world going.

[ Wait, hadn't she mentioned Xavier when she showed up? She probably knows all this crap. ]

Guy named Cameron Hodge. He's long gone, though. Most people here have gotten used to the imPorts. Even the blue furry ones.

Cameron Hodge. [The name didn't sound familiar, but 'anti-mutant' made it sound like something from home. Or from wherever some of the people who were almost from home were from, anyway. The fact that he tried to do something like that here is...upsetting. She frowns.] I've never heard of him.

So no one bothers them about it?

[video]

[meowminx]

There's always a few idiots around. But prejudice certainly isn't limited to imPorts.

[video]

[blue_and_proud]

I guess.

Has anyone you know had a problem, though? Recently I mean.

People point and stare at me all the time! But it doesn't bother Zoidberg anymore, oh no!

[blue_and_proud]

[Raven really wasn't expecting a giant lobster man to appear on the screen, and she actually stares. She looks a bit annoyed with herself after, and shakes it away.]

No one ever attacks you or chases you away from places because you're...large and red?

[crabulous]

... No? [He looks perplexed.] I'm fairly certain they chase me away because of my stench!

[blue_and_proud]

...Stench.

So if you didn't...smell...they'd let you be?

[Adult troll on screen, yeup.]

I've gotten a few strange looks.

[She doesn't seem bothered by this.]

( video )

[blue_and_proud]

[Raven manages a grin. Okay, those were pretty nice looking horns.]

Because of your horns or because you're pretty? I like those, by the way.

( video )

[octaocelli]

[A benign chuckle. She props her head up on the back of her mechanical hand.]

The horns, the skin, the yellow eyes, but people occasionally comment on the teeth and outfit as well.

( video )

[blue_and_proud]

I think your clothes are pretty nice.

[Actually, she thought that whole look was pretty nice. She filed it away to play with later, some. Except not the skin, probably.]

So are you a mutant or an alien or...something else?
