Are there others among the displaced not human? What attitudes have you encountered?

It is my understanding that it would be best to hide what distinguishes me from others if I am to leave the safehouse. [ eventually... ]

I've seen it on other planets. Not everyone is as ready to accept aliens. Seems silly when a lot of those species are older than their but new things can be terrifying.

I'm not human, but you can't tell. Not really.

How different do you look? We went to pick people up at a festival once where there were some unnatural things being added.

[shorelined]

Technically, I am from Earth.

[shorelined]

I do not look very different, but I have some features that humans do not have.

[ that not all atlanteans ave, either. like gills. webbed fingers and toes. ]

[custardcreams]

What's the other answer?

[shorelined]

I am not human. I do not entirely look human, either.

[custardcreams]

You're in good company, then. I'm not human either.

[shorelined]

Do you look it?

[custardcreams]

Technically they look like me. My species is far older.

i'm technically humanish
but i guess the real question is do you want to be hiding those things or not

[ casually thinks of raina... how bad could it be... ]

[shorelined]

May I ask species you are?

[custardcreams]

I'm a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey.

[shorelined]

That would depend on the consequences not hiding my non-human features would entail.

[shorelined]

I'm afraid I have not heard of your kind.

[custardcreams]

People on Earth generally haven't. What about you?

[shorelined]

I am Atlantean.

[custardcreams]

What, really? It's been years since I was there. Have you ever managed to see it?

[shorelined]

Atlantis? Frequently.

[custardcreams]

How'd you end up on Earth?

[shorelined]

I assume you mean the surface? My King often has business there. I accompanied him and stayed.

[custardcreams]

Right, different Atlantis. Sorry.

( that's the problem when there's more than one )

Did he not need you back?

[shorelined]

I was never far when he needed me.

[ except while he was under deep cover. unseen, he glances away. hangs his head. orin surely understands, now that he knows the truth. it still weighs on kaldur. ]

[custardcreams]

That's good. Kings always like loyalty.

I'm sure he misses you now.

[shorelined]

I fear he will.

I am not human, and obviously so. I've taken to masking my features as it seems to be the path of least resistance, though I confess I haven't been here long enough to know what consequences await me, if any, for going around with ears and tail flapping about for all to see.
