[Amy's sitting down in front of the datapad, resting her chin on her hand] I've been thinking. It seems like a lot of the people who've been brought here are Jedi - or Force users, whatever - or have special powers, or are starfighter pilots or something else that's awesome and cool. And, okay, I'm a little jealous, because it would've been cool to

... Gold-- w-what?

[ Because no, seriously, what. ]

[abitfairytale]

You missed that? A bunch of people ended up stuck in these gold - like, actually metal - bikinis. Men and women.

[hiddenpower]

I was... [ Reading for two weeks? Yeah, he's not gonna say that. ] ... M-Maybe it's a good thing I missed it...

[abitfairytale]

Most people managed to cover up after the initial surprise, I think. I hope. [Amy did, anyway.]

[mrbaseballfan]

You don't need powers to save the world. My buddy, Jeff? He's super smart, and he could build anything he set his mind to!

[abitfairytale]

Yeah, but I'm talking about the really ordinary people, the ones who aren't extra bright or anything. [pause, Amy frowns a little] What, kids are coming here now?

[mrbaseballfan]

Well, besides being smart, he was ordinary. I've been here for a little while now. I'd be worried if someone younger or not as strong came here.

[abitfairytale]

Yeah, I was pretty tough when I was younger, but most kids aren't like that. [she's still totally worried about Ness, though.] And even I wouldn't have known what to do if I'd wound up in the middle of a war.

[hereinthisstyle]

I suppose being normal isn't all that ordinary, is it?

[abitfairytale]

[wry chuckle] So it'd seem. Almost makes me miss home, and I thought I'd never say that.

[hereinthisstyle]

What, you don't make a habit of surrounding yourself with extraordinary people back home?

[abitfairytale]

Not in the most ordinary village in all of England - well, there's one exception, but he's...different.

[notlookingdown]

Regular people save lives everyday.

[abitfairytale]

Well, yeah, I know that, but I'm not so sure anybody told George Lucas.

[notlookingdown]

That would make more sense if we were in a movie.

[abitfairytale]

[Amy smirks a little] As opposed to someone's twisted version of Big Brother?

[big_gun_1]

The fact that you believe that any member of your miserable, soft species is in any sense significant is an insult to the very concept of significance. Whether you have what you laughably consider "special" powers or not is of no greater importance than whether a given ant or beetle is slightly faster or smarter than another. You are all insects, fit only to be tread upon by your betters. Do not worry your pathetic so-called mind with such trivial matters. The universe will grind you all into dust at an equal rate regardless, little carbon thing.

[abitfairytale]

[yeah, Amy...just sort of linefaces at the whole speech.] Oh my god, they have giant talking dictionaries here? That's brilliant! D'you do spellcheck, too?
