A young man leans against the sign. He's quite normal looking aside from the long, blue tail with a spaded tip that swishes behind him. He thinks of his question.

"Do you have any features that make you stand out from everyone else? Do you consider them a blessing or a curse? If a curse, do you try to hide it and if so, how?"

"My green hair used to be pretty rare," a woman replies from nearby. He'll notice that a lot of things about her - from her hair to her lip stick to her clothes - are in various shades of green. "Until green hair color became somewhat popular anyway. My foster parents used to think of it as a curse, not so much myself." She paused. "Okay, maybe I thought it was a bit of a curse at the beginning, but hiding it became more of a curse than keeping it."

[hellhalo]

"Really? Odd. I think green is a lovely color and it seems to flatter you."

Lorna Dane smiles at the man. She doesn't seem at all fazed by the fact that he has a sharp, pointy tail. "Thank you," she says, watching the tail with interest. "How about you? Is the tail a blessing or a curse? A mix of both, maybe?"

[hellhalo]

"It IS both actually. As it's prehensile it's very useful, but unlike my wings, it's harder to hide."

I don't stand out quite so much where I live now, but I got a lot of attention being a tall, German, natural redhead when I lived in Japan. I enjoyed the attention.

::Schuldig is also a telepath, but most people have no idea.::

[hellhalo]

"Oh yes. I can see how you would stand out there physically."

[tastes_of_honey]

Besides, I was working as a bodyguard at the time, so it was a kind of deterrent. Nobody missed seeing me when I was out protecting our client. ::Unless Schuldig was trying to be sneaky and go around without attention, in which case nobody saw him until it was too late.::

[hellhalo]

"That IS true I suppose. Most people avoid things that are different, at least at first."

Ben is walking around in civvies at the moment. Dark blue hoodie and black cargo pants. He is pasty white with messy black hair. Odd black veins peek up around his neck and a few on his cheeks and forehead.

"I hide the pale complexion and vein thing by going more pale and kinda going with the goth look. Easier that way."

[hellhalo]

"Are you ill or something? Or is that your ordinary appearance?"

[duplicatespider]

"Dying. My cells are breaking down." He shrugs.

[hellhalo]

"Oh.. I'm sorry. That's unfortunate. Is it incurable?"

"I AM TOLD MY MOUNTAIN RANGES ARE MOST IMPRESSIVE."

"THERE IS ALSO THE FACT THAT I AM A SENTIENT PLANET."

[hellhalo]

"Well........ that's certainly a way to stand out."

Sarah eyes the tail for a moment before speaking.

"Not really. My eyes change color, but that's about it. It's sometimes a curse because they change to an ember color when I'm angry and that tends to scare a lot of people away. It also happens at random sometimes and it's not a great thing when you're having a casual conversation with someone."

[hellhalo]

He smiles. "That doesn't sound so bad. Luckily mine only change when I'm angry."

[im_yours_truly]

"It isn't that bad. Just a nuisance." She smiles, tucking a strand of hair back. "What color do yours change to?"

[hellhalo]

"Blood red at first, then the angrier I get, they burn like hellfire."

He offers his hand. "I'm Lucas"
