If you were not affected by Time Compression's latest stunt, then disregard this message. I assume you have nothing of interest to offer me
( Read more... )
Of course. So you're just looking for the general outcasts of the universe? [Tilts his head with interest. That's exactly what his Pops did, and why he was adopted the way he was. Not that he's letting anyone replace his father, but someone doing the same thing, even a little, makes him happy.]
[ Erik leaned back in his chair, trying to rationalize his real motives for doing so. His interest was purely isolating humans, not his own kind, believing they didn't deserve to utilize something as strong as time compression, though it was a temporary belief. ] Not necessarily.
I wouldn't consider types like us outcasts to begin with. Although from what I've learned, it seems like no matter what we do, society here will always see us as that.
World royalty nobles in my world. Their every whim is law and they have the entire world government and marines at their fingertips to try to control the world.
I see. [ Though he refrains from speaking up again for a while, lacing his fingers together as he leans back to look directly at Marco. Erik, for the most part, hasn't encountered that, though he knows full well that he will eventually. ]
It hasn't happened where I live, though I wouldn't be surprised if in fact does occur.
The price of dominant species deciding that they're superior to each other. Even if one "wins" it becomes ingrained that some individuals must be even "more" superior.
Mah, that or politics are just sticky, eh? [A small laugh.]
[ He shrugs in response, returning the laugh with only a thin smile. Erik didn't see the situation as humorous in the slightest. ] Not necessarily politics, at that.
I believe it's more human nature than anything politically motivated. We're the better men, you and I, though society is want to say otherwise, and will continue to do that as long as we don't show them.
It will be a constant battle if we're ever found out.
[Marco silently agrees with a small nod and knowing light to his eyes.] Oh, I doubt I'm a good man. I'm a pirate, and I wouldn't trade it for anything; just like my phoenix side, eh? My world's government has a price on my head, but that's just a mark of their fear.
So people with powers in your world are in hiding?
I couldn't even begin to tell you. We've only met up with a handful of mutants, all of whom had a variety of abilities. [ He purses his lips for moment, recalling what they can do. ] A shape shifter, a telepath, genius intellect, quite a few.
As far as I know, there's no limit as to what people can do.
Oh. Is it new to your world then? I guess I'm "lucky." Special abilities have been around in my world for... so long it makes me feel old to even try to date it. Thousands of years.
If they've been around, no one's mentioned them. [ He hesitates, albeit briefly. ] For a while I was convinced I was the only one. Until I met a certain telepath, that is.
[Glances down.] I was that way until my Pops found me. He really taught me that it was okay to just be myself. And that being an outcast doesn't matter when you're too strong to get hurt by their stupidity anyway, eh?

And the weak they just bully. That seems to be universal with species other than humans, however.

[ He nodded in agreement, although he was surprised by the fact that someone here perceived the world in the same manner. ]
Survival of the fittest, isn't it? In this case, it just appears to be the opposite; they'll bully the strongest to prevent their own demise.

Exactly that. Tenryuubito do the same.
