Acclimatising myself to this City is quite the challenge. Almost as much as attempting to become accustomed to Earth, having spent so much of my life on Tarnax VII, was. At least there, when people acted irrationally, they were doing so through something of their own agency. Generally speaking, of course

Honey, don't say the word annihilation. We just got Rictor to calm down about Skrulls being here. He might go crazy again.

[thewayto]

Any synonym would yield the same results. I am simply stating my belief that they are not as terrible as they have been made out to be.

Who is Rictor?

[tofuinthesky]

Rictor is some guy from our world, but we never met him until we got here. Last time you were here, he went on and on about Skrulls being evil and I had to tell everybody that you weren't trying to take over the world like the rest of them.

[thewayto]

I see. Well, if he has already ranted about it once, then I am certain he has got it out of his system by now, and therefore I have little to worry about. Besides, I did not express any negativity towards humans, and pointed out than Skrulls arriving en masse would, in fact, be a bad thing.

[tofuinthesky]

I don't know. He's an adult and you know how they can get, especially since he said he hates kids.

I know you didn't, but Rictor is the panicky type. He'll just hang on that one word forever.

[thewayto]

So, he is a human adult who hates Skrulls and those he considers to be children. I doubt I will have much luck appealing to his better nature, if that is the case.

If he does, then I shall explain to him that since the destruction of Tarnax VII, I do not hold as much power among the Skrull Empire as I once might have. Certainly not enough to annihilate an entire race, at any rate.

[tofuinthesky]

Not really. He did apologize to both of us, but I don't know if he'll keep it.

[thewayto]

To both of us? Did he say something to slight you also, beloved?

[tofuinthesky]

He called me a lesbo and then we got into an argument when I told him the proper term was lesbian, not lesbo.

[thewayto]

Despicable. I shall have to do something about this. Did I do something about it, the last time I was here?

[tofuinthesky]

No, Xavin, you don't. You already called him old, bitter, and told him he needed to wear a mask. Also paranoid and delusional about the Skrull thing, but I never told you about the lesbo part. He apologized and we left it at that.

[thewayto]

Perhaps he should wear a mask, if he is going to speak to you like that.

[tofuinthesky]

Or tape over his mouth, at least.

[thewayto]

That may well be more humane than a mask.

[tofuinthesky]

Hey, did you find your macchiato? We can get one today before they close.

[thewayto]

Billy has informed me of where to purchase one. Cafe Juliet. Do you know where this is?
