Sooo... this is new.

(OOC: Attached is a picture of a human arm morphed into a wing. Its original human structure is still clearly visible.)

And disturbing. Did I mention disturbing?

It's clearly time to learn some shape changing.

	I am unsure as to whether this is some prank by a haemonculi onboard your station or some other form of trick but you are not the only one to wake up different today. I am not entirely unhappy with the change but I would have preferred to be consulted. OOC: Attached picture of a female Aeldarri) (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Definitely a prank. You look a lot like my aunt. That's not a compliment. She was an awful person. I am there with you. I would have liked to get a vote on this too. Typing with only one hand is annoying to say the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To me, somewhat of a compliment as I would not want to be a good "person". I understand these sort of mishaps are common here? I have heard a number of voices that I do not believe I should. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A controversial statement. Now, is it 'good' you take offense at or being called a 'person'? Not that common recently but it does happen. Can you tell me what kind of voices? That's quite odd. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am not offended and rather correcting the use of language. As I understand my Low Gothic, a "person" is a member of the species of man. There are words in Aeldarri for members of our kind and a distinctly different set of words for yours. I am not, therefore, a person.
You could infer, I suppose, that because I do not wish to be referred to as a person that I may consider myself to be "more" or "superior" but that is not my intent.

Irrespective of that particular debate, I can hear the voices of my ancestors and those I carry on my journey in my mind. Alongside those I have heard... errant thoughts of those outside of those I expect.

Oh, right. I guess I wouldn't be a person then either. But for me the term person simply refers to a being that is intelligent and part of civilisation. Where I grew up... if you would get to nit-picky about terminology like that a conversation would end up impossible. But if you dislike the word 'person', what should I call you instead?

Maybe you've collected some extra people for your journey? I mean, I can't even pretend to understand what you are talking about.

Wait, did you have tea with my cousin at some point? Suzume?

	Ed'wari, is fine, or "Eldar" if you have to generalise. And no... I doubt that very much. Yes, I did. She was very kind and welcoming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. Any term for the wider mask of civilised creatures? May I ask what this journey is? I have never heard of someone carrying other people with them. She is, isn't she? As my cousin seems to have liked you, I already like you a little bit more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Individuals... beings...? I tend to simply use their names. You can but I think it would be better to perhaps explain in person. That's good. You all are a great deal more welcoming and tolerant than the mon'keigh I am used to where I am from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would happily invite you for a coffee. We aren't all human. I think that does the trick. I myself am a convolute of different races. Many here are the descendants of ~~people~~ beings who have arrived. Beings like you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ynnarifanboy 2021-05-10 07:33 am UTC (link)
	Well, my schedule is extremely empty as of late. Let me know. I apologise, it was akin to the sweeping generalisation I chided you for earlier. You are all as individuals more welcoming and tolerant than the beings from where I am from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2021-05-10 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	I wonder why. Tomorrow morning? I should be done with training and the animals by 11. I hope it will always stay that way. Everyone who arrives here is a place of need. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ynnarifanboy 2021-05-10 12:37 pm UTC (link)
	I would imagine that it has something to do with my being here. I accept your offer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	daddyissues_ 2021-05-10 12:44 pm UTC (link)
	Well, you will have to tell me all about that as well tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent)
