( gamora's been lucky enough to avoid getting sick and to avoid being squished into green paste by the bombing. it's been a lively month, but her expression is far from amused. or even the general disdain she's taken to addressing the network with.

it's settled into something that's obviously 'intense dislike'. )

Next time anyone tries to pick a fight with me I'm going to do more than dent a wall with them. Especially if their reasoning is "someone who clearly isn't human, they must be someone we don't want around!". Terrans are outnumbered everywhere in the galaxy except for this rock, and yet somehow you think you're special.

Get over yourselves.

( guess who's just been harassed by a citizen of exsilium who has it in for those obvious transports? and guess who ever so kindly did nothing to improve the relationship between the two groups? )

( Someone sure looks like they have seen better days, but at least she is now upright. )

Humans can be a pack of dickheads. We hate each other, too.

( Accompanied by a shrug, as if that'd make her feel better. )

[gamora]

( ellie if you die she's going to be even more irritated. )

Time to be like everyone else and hate a different planet. It'll stop your race from hating each other in no time.

( in theory, at any rate. )

Pretty sure that's the same each species the universe over. Or I haven't met any one yet who didn't think they were awesome just for being what they were, not when they came in large numbers.

People being jerks need to stop, though! I'm glad you didn't kill anyone. ;P

permavideo on her end because

[gamora]

Except for some of the empires, no one really cares what species you are. There's not really a point to it.

( a half shrug. )

Think they've got it out for everyone who's a transport. Green skin just makes me an easier target.

( she's not even going to touch that last sentence. RUDE COLLETTE SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON IT. )

[thephix]

What, exactly, is the point of this announcement?

None of the Exiles have access to the Initiative network, it's not as though they're going to be aware of this generous warning you're giving them.

[gamora]

The crater in the wall and any number of broken bones works for them. Consider this a warning to the rest of the population here that doesn't know better.

[Oh hey look, this teenager with horns and green makeup answering Gamora's post is probably another alien!! She's sitting on a bench in the training hall.]

Thank you. Frankly I think members of the Initiative could also stand to see this message. It's really almost sad that technological inferiority creates such an attitude of geocentrism and ignorance. Though the latter would probably be true of humans regardless.

[gamora]

( awww yus non human club up in here )

Not so much technological inferiority, more like they're a bunch of stubborn idiots.

[how_fascinating]

[Tiny, obviously non-human little critter here, looking particularly put off herself.]

These bookah make the humans from my own dimensional plane appear intellectually gifted.

[gamora]

You get used to it after a while if you're not given a choice. Doesn't mean I have to put up with extremely thickheaded ones.

Permavid

[governorkang]

I haven't had any of them be stupid enough to pick a fight with me yet. Luckily for them.

[Probably because he's seven feet tall, very muscular, and has wings, claws, and fangs.]

[gamora]

I think this one's learned his lesson.

( some people have all the luck. )

[solitaire]

Some people jus' can't appreciate a little variety.

[gamora]

And you think you can.

[lar]

but think of the walls?

[gamora]

I didn't put them through it.

Yet.

[latkje]

You'd think, not being outnumbered, we'd be less special.

[gamora]

You'd be thinking wrong, according to most of your species.

[concealingeyes]

nobody likes anyone different from normal. they forget none of us asked to be involved anyway. they're cowards and need to turn on someone. that's how it is.

we've got each other for now, though.

[gamora]

Because that counts for so much.

( dismissive. )

[unkindness]

[Seven's face is far more placid, but mostly because she's, sadly, used to this. Being mistrusted, hated, and harrassed due to being rather obviously Other. Despite also being human.]

During times of distress and recovery, illogical responses and placement of blame are unfortunately common. It isn't a uniquely Human trait.

[gamora]

But they're very good at it.

( except for the kree, maybe, but most of their issues are internal instead of external. all gamora knows is that she didn't have to deal with this in space. )

[mentore]

[Just a long, deep sigh.]

Gamora.

permavideo

[gamora]

I didn't kill him and he threw a rock at my head.

( you know. in case he had doubts. )

[Video]

[weapabilities]

I take it by 'Terrans' you're talking about humans?

permavideo

[gamora]

Unless there's another species as common as they are on their planet.

( well there's like three or four in your universe, gamora. gosh. )

[theparasite]

Hoh. [obvious grin in its voice:] You're very ugly. You're green.

[gamora]

Hadn't noticed. You got a point to stating the obvious or?
