So. Paint me curious: how many of your guys have an oddly specific hatred of humans?

[This entry is voiced, but as for the background, well. It's her at a little tent-based campesite up in the mountains. She decided to try her hand at hiking over to the beach to check that out, and she's at a base camp of sorts. ...Yeah so stalking

Hatred? Hardly - contempt would be far more accurate. Perhaps even pity.

[compos_mentis]

Yeah? Got a reason why?

[redstringed]

Because they are utterly pathetic creatures. Why else?

[compos_mentis]

I got the pathetic part. [There's a short little snort here] I meant, do you happen to have a reason for thinking that?

[redstringed]

Years of observal. I fail to see how anyone could possibly conclude otherwise.

[compos_mentis]

Comparison, mostly. What makes them any worse than other sentient species?

[redstringed]

Is there anything that makes them better?

[compos_mentis]

I never said they were superior, I said they were the same. I don't need to prove the positive, but you need to prove the negative.

[redstringed]

The proof of a negative is impossible. I have viewed humans for centuries and found them thoughtless, boorish, and terribly wanting in sense and power.

[compos_mentis]

So they rank below someone like yourself?

[redstringed]

Is that not obvious? To me, they are as slightly more entertaining insects.

[compos_mentis]

Must make you pretty special, huh?
