( 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? )

Can't say it hasn't worked yet. No one's asking you to like it.

I'm sure it's a perfectly valid strategy in the short term, but further antagonizing people who are simply scared isn't going to improve the situation. They'll likely just turn their anger onto someone less capable of defending themselves.

Does the person with broken bones have a name that you might know?

[gamora]

It's not as if we chose to come here. If they want to be angry or scared, fine, but throw rocks at the Initiative instead.

No.

[thephix]

We are the Initiative, in their eyes.

[Fine, it shouldn't be too hard to track down someone who got thrown into a wall by a green woman, and she can ensure they get proper medical attention.]

[gamora]

Then they're more idiotic than I thought. This is their war and their planet. I'm under no obligation to fight for them.

[thephix]

The Exiles are not the ones who asked you to be here, nor are they making you fight.

[gamora]

And they're not doing a das't thing to help either way, are they?

[thephix]

No?

Where do you think they come from? Who do you think helps refugees arrive from the United Earth, who transports them, gets them through the verstatsi withdrawal, sets them up in this miserable city?

Just because they aren't fighting in ways you can see, it doesn't mean they're not doing anything at all.
