[timed after this. Because this is just.... not alright and -- ]

I can't be the only person who comes from a place, where for the most part... elves, fae, bogarts, and all such manner of creatures are something that you hit over the head with a poker before you befriend? Honestly.

[No, she's not afraid to admit, doesn't care who reads it. They're empathy lacking monsters as far as that goes for home.]

Not that that applies to all worlds, obviously, I'm not an idiot -- and was raised with better manners mind you. But I doubt that I'm alone in this.

[Says the governess related to Death of all things -- but that's different. Death is supposed to be a killer, and she's also fairly sure he's capable of more empathy than most people would ever imagine. He spared her father for her after all.

But she's worried, all the same. Just because their worlds are round it doesn't mean it can be that different. It was an oddly isolating feeling when the things you knew to be true were turned upside down. Again.]

If ya try that here, they're gonna hit ya back.

They'll hit back at home, too. It's much the same, but they're all getting too angry at me. Elves where I come wouldn't probably care if I called them monsters.

Maybe where they come from, they ain't monsters. Maybe humans are monsters.

[that logic is just so twisted it takes her a moment, blinking.]

... That's almost valid and congratulations for thinking that. But if humans are the monsters, why do they kidnap them? Why do they like watching human beings suffer?

Do all of 'em do that? Dude, there is like, a million damn elves here for example. From all different places. Maybe they don't all eat babies for a livin'.

The elves? Certainly. Some of the faeries aren't so completely destructive, it just depends.

Well, no certainly not all the ones here fall into the categories of my home world.

'Zactly. Ya should't presume things. People always presumed shit about me back home just cuz 'a what I am, and they didn't even know what I was. That shit ain't fair.

... I did say that it didn't apply to all worlds. [didn't he listen?]

And it's not presumptuous of me to say the elves from my world are cruel horrible monsters if that is in fact what they are.

What the hell are they like where you're from? We don't even got 'em in my world. Just shit you see in books 'n' movies.

They're very real where I come from.

... And they steal children, for amusement mostly. Because they're cruel beings who have no empathy and no ability to create. Not even their own life, unless it's with a human. They would hurt you, just because they thought you sounded pretty when you screamed.

Have ya found any from your world here?

No. No one has even heard of the Disc.

[sigh]

Yeah, sorry. Can't help ya there either. I managed to find someone from my time and place [so he thinks] so there might be someone else. There's a frickin' ton of people here after all.

The Disc is a big place, so I may never know. But I am glad you do.
