Well?

You're here because you have something to say, so... out with it.

idk, blame your other character for this. ALSO PRE-AUCTION. yetsleeping December 10 2010, 10:08:18 UTC

Isley?

[Behold, a pause. For she is considering whether this is a deeply stupid question.]

[Well, may as well ask.]

Would you consider me a person?

LOL WHOOPS. swordofthenorth December 10 2010, 15:05:20 UTC

...A person?

[ Of course you're a person, but... ]

Elaborate, Priscilla. What is your definition of person.

/)_(\ yetsleeping December 10 2010, 18:56:06 UTC

Well, a person. A human.

n_n swordofthenorth December 10 2010, 21:08:37 UTC

Ahh... I see.

I suppose you are, in part, yes. It's irrefutable. Why do you ask, Priscilla?

That's such a cute smilie I can't even deal with it. yetsleeping December 10 2010, 21:26:55 UTC

I just keep having conversations about--

[...hm.]

Helen always says - and a man I just met said it, too - that someone's life isn't worth less just because they aren't human. But then again, if that's true then why do they argue so hard that they are one or that I am one?

I don't really mind it, you know. I've always known what I am... and I'm less human than I was when I came here.

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 00:46:00 UTC

They fight so hard to convince you because you speak negatively of the aspect of yourself that is not human. So, it is less your humanity that they fight for, and more your worth as an individual.

yetsleeping December 11 2010, 00:49:45 UTC

Well. I guess that makes sense.

Although.... it's not really that i think there's anything wrong with that part of me. It just...

[Then again, considering who she's talking to...]

There probably isn't any way to describe it without sounding insulting, come to think of it.

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 00:57:09 UTC

Feel free to say what you need to. I promise I won't take offense.

yetsleeping December 11 2010, 01:02:52 UTC

It's just that I always thought of humanity as better than other things. And.... my human part as the best parts of me.

Although I guess I've gone from being half human to maybe a quarter human, and I don't really feel much different. I mean, personality... um. I mean! I feel different... physically. But not mentally?

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 01:28:16 UTC

May I ask... why did you come to me with this?

This is a horrible answer. yetsleeping December 11 2010, 01:29:53 UTC

Because... you're the one I come to with most things, I guess.

And because you're understand both sides of me.

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 01:57:33 UTC

I see.

You do realize it is less that I understand both sides, and more that I accept them, don't you?

Humanity itself is...

[ Well, it isn't something that he cherishes, not in the way that she does, or her friends do. ]

...Never mind.

It makes no difference in the end. You are whatever it is you choose to be. Whether that is human, or half, or a quarter... it is for you to decide.

yetsleeping December 11 2010, 02:00:26 UTC

Well, I--

I'm sorry. Should I have gone to someone else?

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 02:05:39 UTC

It's not that I mind that you have come to me, but there really is only one person you should have felt the need to go to... and that's you.

You know what you want better than anyone else, even better than I do. Whatever it is you aspire to be, Priscilla... that is your answer.

yetsleeping December 11 2010, 02:10:30 UTC

Hm!

Mostly, I just want to be... as strong a warrior as I can be. And... I want to be a defender! And I want to make everyone I've ever looked up to proud of what I can become.

That means you, too. I hope you know that.

swordofthenorth December 11 2010, 02:14:20 UTC

I believe in you.
