[ if someone told clarice she'd be reaching out to the rest of her cohort almost the instant she finds her footing on the station, she'd have laughed in their face. frankly, she would have preferred to keep her head down, stay out of the way until she was needed.

but some things were necessary, and dealing with a whole set of people whose backgrounds and experiences she had no clue about necessitated some information-gathering.

reaching out anonymously seemed like a good compromise. ]

mutant

[ she's here for one reason, and one reason only. making a list of those she had to steer clear from is only going to help her achieve her goal in the long run. ]

what does that word mean to you?

Ah... does it have something to do with mutations? Those can be quite beautiful, in birds! Sometimes you find a bird from a species that is normally brown and black, and suddenly this individual has a red wing! Isn't it lovely?

[fuchsiative]

some people don't consider differences to be very lovely

I know! It's terrible. The world would be so much better if people just didn't bother with what everyone else is doing or what they look like or who their parents are... but the world is also full of people like Sect Leader Yao.

[fuchsiative]

[ who their parents are, hm? ]

it's always the people in charge too, right?

[eschewings]

[ tmw your brother's sworn brother gets so much flack for his parentage he eventually becomes a cold-blooded murderer........ ]

It really is. I suppose it's because everyone else follows along with their ideas. It is those who lead that can in just their words turn someone who has been idolised into someone hated... regardless of whether it's justified or not.

That makes you want to not have much to do with something like that, doesn't it?

[fuchsiative]

sometimes you don't get the choice

[eschewings]

That's true... especially if their ideas have to do with you?

[ which, clearly she's speaking from experience. a mutant, was it? ]

[fuchsiative]

[ got it in one. ]

sucks, doesn't it?

[eschewings]

I've only seen it happen to others. I don't know much and I'm not really powerful, so I've never been someone people are overly concerned with.
