Day 253 [Video/Action | Open]
Citizens of Marina, I have a serious question for you.

Who would win in a fight? [She holds her adorned hands up one at a time.] Lobster claw oven mitt or shark oven mitt?

I know the shark seems obvious, but the lobster wants it more. Also, I think the wardens might have been drinking when they stocked the store. So, let me know if you're aware of a good AA program for AIs.

[Kitty will be milling around Bull's Eye if you'd like to find her there or on her way home.]

	Then you can understand the need for something like that. I would offer the same here, but I haven't seen the same need as I did in my world. Should that change, I would be more than willing to start something.

This place is very different than anything I've seen before. Even people who aren't used to others with different abilities seem curious instead of afraid. [She doesn't always know how to react to that. She's defined her life around being a mutant—hated and feared by humans even though she works to protect them. It's jarring to have that changed so completely. Nice...but jarring. There's almost a loss of identity in it like everything she went through before doesn't matter now.]

[ helen understands. it's like her work with the sanctuary. not needing it here is strange to her, like she's missing part of her life or her self. she's had to focus on other things to fill the gap and it's still not enough, never will be quite the same. ]

And yet there will always be a few who are afraid. All we can do is try to help them adjust. [ she hasn't personally met anyone who is afraid rather than curious, but she's lived long enough to know better than to expect everyone to cooperate. ]

	Sometimes they have reason to be afraid. [It wasn't mutants in the genocides of her world.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Granted, but fear begets more fear and hostility. If we can prevent that, and keep them safe from each other, I believe it's worth the effort. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Didn't say it wasn't. Easy work isn't usually the kind that really needs doing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And I absolutely agree. [ she offers a small, but genuine smile. ] What an insightful discussion this has been. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hard not to be when it starts with decorative oven mitts. Hey, you said there were different kinds of abnormals, right? Is it all variations on extended life, or are there powers? Special abilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; lifelines 2014-01-19 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	True enough. Oh, there are many different types of Abnormals. Some of them simply have two heads or extra legs. Some comes with what we call abilities; others call them powers. For example, Hyper-Accelerated Protean lifeforms and the Sanguine Vampiris. Vampires and werewolves are two completely separate species in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. It sounds a little like mutants and also a little like a blockbuster movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Isn't life in general a lot like that? [ her voice is teasing here, as though she doesn't mind the comparison. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; kitty_has_claws 2014-01-21 06:06 am UTC (link)
	Some lives anyway. But I guess we don't get a lot of dull around here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't say I'm entirely upset about that. There are few things I dislike more than being idle. [ and bored. she hates boredom. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; kitty_has_claws 2014-01-22 05:33 am UTC (link)
	I know the feeling. Or...maybe I don't. I've never let myself be idle long enough to see if I could get into it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I tend not to have the chance, either, but it has happened on occasion, particularly when my well-meaning staff try to force me on vacation. [ you can imagine how well that usually goes. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because they think you need a break or because they need a break from you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she adopts a mock-thoughtful look. ] They never say, but I suspect it's likely a combination of both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; kitty_has_claws 2014-01-26 07:09 am UTC (link)
	Probably wise of them not to mention it. I'll probably start getting vacation urging from the force. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; lifelines 2014-01-26 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps that means you should start planning where to go so you can get the most done while still being "on vacation." [ this may or may not have been her tactic on several occasions. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hear Sector 3 is nice this time of year. (Reply to this) (Parent)
