Iskaulit Mingle - Problems with Psychics

[notzubats]

Who: Anyone on the Iskaulit!
Broadcast: If you'd like?!
Action: Iskaulit!
When: Today, as Sora's augment glitch starts.

[It's your average day on the Iskaulit. Absolutely nothing seems out of place initially, but without any warning- you might find yourself or your friends experiencing some problems. What's up on that?

In other words, it's an Iskaulit mingle with a twist! Come on in everyone! You don't need to interact with Sora to have it effect you, so feel free to start your own threadstarter! Or talk to Sora, that's cool too. ]

[He shouldn't be curious. He doesn't like elves. He can tell himself he has no reason to care.

...But he can't stand not knowing things.]

...Then what of the rest? [dryly] If it's not too impertinent of me to ask.

[Fenris gives him the sort of look that suggests while it not be too impertinent, it sure is circling the ballpark of impertinence. ]

They either live in the sums of cities or are slaves, for the most part.

[That mentally sets Yuan back on his heels a bit, and suddenly all trace of dry humor is gone from his expression. Elves have always been a distant ideal, something he can never reach. Humans were the ones surrounding him as he grew up, jealous of abilities they would never possess and treating him like dirt because of it; elves were the faraway ones who wouldn't accept him because he was tainted by human blood, who would turn him aside for what he was even if he could match them in power.

He resented them, sure. He'd told himself he didn't care to be given the respect he knew he could never have, until he started to believe it. But the idea of elves being treated with anything other than reverence or bitter envy, the idea of elves being regarded as something lesser, is a new and unpleasant one.]

...I had no idea such a place existed. Could exist. I... [He shakes his head.] ...It's...not so very different for half-elves, where I come from. ...That's why I thought you were attacking me.

[Fenris gives a soft shrug of his shoulders. It's not the first time he's come across this mentality, he's sure it won't be the last. ]

It seems rather regular, outside of Thedas. We seem to be an anomaly.

Though half elves can often pass as human, they do not look like elves. For the most part, they're human.

[Because Thedosian genetics are an amazing thing. ]

[cloakand_danger]

...Honestly, despite everything my blood has brought me, I can't say it sounds appealing to be no different from a human, either.

[He gives the elf a considering look, seeing him in a new light now given that revelation.] ...My name is Yuan, by the way. What's yours?

[wolfuncaged]

A human has a better chance of a normal life in Thedas than an elf. I do not blame those who can pass trying to blend in.

[It's hard to hold on to your heritage with pride when it just causes you to have more trouble than it's worth. ]
