So out of place in this head, it's not even funny...

[slapsredheads]

M-m-m-mundane! Just because I slap Luke and Asch in the audio drama version, doesn't mean you should make a journal pointing it out!

...

'They deserved it,' isn't an excuse either!

Why are you complaining? At least someone acknowledges you.

[slapsredheads]

Y-yes, but... it's not fair to Luke, or Asch.

[And there's a whole harem of both in this head.]

[martelapproves]

Life is never fair.

[slapsredheads]

That may be true, but deliberately starting something just because, 'It was funny,' is uncalled for. My mundane should know better.

[martelapproves]

Are you saying you'd rather your mun just ignore you?

[slapsredheads]

A-ah...!

[AWKWARD PAUSE]

I'm... not sure, to be honest. It's a bit awkward to be in her head...

[martelapproves]

Hmph. Typical human.

[slapsredheads]

[Narrows her eyes.]

Excuse me?

[martelapproves]

Taking for granted what people like me would have given anything for.

[slapsredheads]

I don't see how you can say that. Your mundane is paying attention to you now.

[martelapproves]

Why would I want him to pay attention to me?

[slapsredheads]

[...really? Seriously? Is this another Luke she's got on her hands?]

How else are you supposed to interact with others.

[martelapproves]

I don't want to interact with humans. All they see in me is a half-elf.

[slapsredheads]

Half-elf?

[martelapproves]

[ Blink. ]

Wh-what, you mean you couldn't tell?

[ He's... kind of an oppressed racial minority. Or, rather, was until he became a genocidal angel. ]

[slapsredheads]

I'm sorry, but I've never even seen an elf, much less a half-elf.

[A gentle smile.]

I think I understand why you feel the way you do, however.

[martelapproves]

D-don't be ridiculous. Nobody does.

[ Nope, nope, not taking the bait. Definitely not. Not at all. ]

[slapsredheads]

I wouldn't say that.

My friend is a replica, a copy of another human being. Replicas on my world are not very well received by the public... at least, not yet.

[martelapproves]

Does he have people spit on him? Did anyone kill his sister despite his sister spending her childhood to save their world?

[slapsredheads]

[Oh Mithos. ;_; Tear can't keep the sympathetic look off her face at that.]

...no. Everyone believed he was his original when he was born, so he hasn't had to suffer from the same response to replicas as the others did.

[martelapproves]

Then he doesn't know what it's like.

[ He's seen that same look from Colette and several other members of Lloyd's party, so he's not too impressed. Yet. ]

[slapsredheads]

His original is more than enough for him to deal with.

[Hence the username. She's starting to get used to it.]

The point is, I understand that there will always be people that do not accept you. I wish I could say there was an easy way to make humans more accepting as a whole, but there isn't one.

[martelapproves]

There is. I'm going to make everyone the same.

[slapsredheads]

Make everyone... the same? What will that accomplish?

[martelapproves]

They'll have nothing to discriminate over. They'll all be the same, lifeless beings.

[slapsredheads]

[...oh god, you are setting off her, "Brother is on one of his crazy tirades about killing everyone and replacing them with replicas," alarm. Why, you are too young and too cute.]

And you will be the only unique being among them?

[martelapproves]

I'll be able to live with people again. No one will be thinking less of me because of my species.

[slapsredheads]

Acceptance through assimilation isn't true acceptance. Just because you feel better, doesn't mean it solves the problem.

[martelapproves]

I've waited for four thousand years for humans to accept half-elves. They never will. I'm done trying to get them to see us as sub-human. The only way we'll ever set aside our differences is to become the same species.

[replicated]

Sounds like a flimsy excuse to me. [ What's this about slapping him? ]

[slapsredheads]

...Asch.

[Instant ice queen. Brrr...]

It's the only one she can give at the moment.

[You did deserve it. Quit being such a jerk to your replica.]

[grandtheftmecha]

'They deserved it' is totally a good excuse.

[slapsredheads]

W-well, I suppose...

[Luke had long hair at the time; that explains everything alone. Asch is... Asch.]

[grandtheftmecha]

Sometimes, when someone's being an asshole, there's not much else you can do.
