[Hi Barge. Charles sounds kind of irked when he turns on the feed, which for affected people should not really be all that unfamiliar or surprising. Flood!Charles is kind of an angry, quiet but soapboxy and very anti-human guy.]

In light of recent events, I've been doing a bit of thinking about some of the worlds I've learned about here, and about how people respond when I tell them about my mutation. [Except as far as he's concerned, he does this soapboxing a lot since coming here so. This is really not out of the ordinary. Sort of.] Why should we have to hide what we're capable of for the comfort and convenience of others? Why should we be denied full use of our abilities here, by wardens or by the Admiral when he strands us in port?

We shouldn't have to be afraid of what we're capable of just because it makes other people uncomfortable, and none of us should be denied what's rightfully ours just because we're not human. [Which is coming out a little bit like a curse word. :V]

Frankly, it makes me uncomfortable to know I'm stuck here with a bunch of humans who will never be able to understand what it's like to be one of us, and instead of bothering to try, have just decided we're all a threat to their safety. All that proves to me is that you're all the same, and you wouldn't hesitate to wipe us out, and I, for one, am not willing to give you that chance.

Merlin, Morgana, you should stand up for yourselves. All of you should be willing to fight for what's rightfully ours, instead of blindly following along and hoping these Homo sapiens will realize the error of their ways.

[ooc: Charles is totally affected, and since his most defining trait is the whole KILLING WILL NOT BRING YOU PEACE thing he is now PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION. Meaning he is basically Erik this weekend and I'm not sure why he's a warden still >>; and will be apologizing like crazy when all this is over. :C]

[Charlie says:]

Sure, here. On Earth? Different story.

[Scrad also points out:]

And it's true, what he said: humans don't understand, and they aren't gonna bother to try. We're always gonna have to hide, so what's the point?

Private - He'll take this back after the flood

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-04-29 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, I know it sucks having to hide, that's why I try not to draw too much attention to myself. You can still live a fulfilling life while hiding.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Heeeeeeere's Charlie!)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-04-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
We've tried it.

[Scrad snorts. Charlie continues:]

Not so much.

Maybe you could join the MIB?
twoheadsofcabbage: (THE GOLDEN RULE.)

Private

[There's a pause, and then: hysterical laughter from both of them. Charlie wipes tears of mirth on their shoulder.]

What? You've already got the keeping secrets thing down, what with keeping Charlie hidden all the time, and you'd be getting orders from a source you know isn't going to double cross you--wait. You'd have to wear the same suit all the time. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't care for that bit.

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-04-30 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
They're also completely speciesist.

[Scrad says. Charlie agrees, re: the suit.]

We'd look like a Mormon.

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-04-30 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Didn't know that. Kind of surprised, since Kay's not, but then, I suppose he isn't the entire...unit? Undercover agency? Whatever you want to call it.

And the suit wouldn't work on you.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Things that hurt.)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-04-30 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Who says he's not?

[Scrad asks.]
flashy_magic: (Bwa?/Kicked Puppy)

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-04-30 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
His dating history, for one.
twoheadsofcabbage: ("Sup Picard?" Said Wesley.)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-04-30 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah? What'd he tell you about that?

[Scrad asks.]
flashy_magic: (Explaining)

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-04-30 11:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, he's mentioned a few, like the tentacle lady. And then Narvin, of course.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Default)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-04-30 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Just because he hasn't killed that guy yet, doesn't mean he won't.

[Scrad says. Charlie continues:]

Although tentacle lady sounds hot.

Re: Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-01 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Why would he kill Narvin?
twoheadsofcabbage: (It turns out:)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-01 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Scrad holds up his hands.]

Hey, don't ask us. All we know is: a fellow non-human asked for info, and we gave it.

[Charlie blurts:]

In exchange for protection.
flashy_magic: (pic#)

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-01 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
What? Uh...explain this to me in more detail? I mean, I can pretty much guarantee that Narvin can keep Kay from doing anything to you if he wants to, probably very easily, but...details?

And you know Kay's helped more aliens than he's killed, right?
twoheadsofcabbage: (Default)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-01 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't ever assume we know anything.

[Charlie quips wryly. And he probably doesn't mean to imply that they are hopelessly stupid, but: there you are. Scrad looks anxious. He says:]

Like I said: that Narvin guy tracked us down; asked for any inside intel we had on Kay. We told him what we know, because he said he'd keep Kay off our back, which: so far, so good.

[Charlie adds:]

The guy keeps asking if we're okay. It's reaaaaaaaaaally weird.
flashy_magic: (pic#)

Re: Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-01 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep that in mind.

And Narvin was my warden, so maybe you're like...a grandinmate to him.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Straight up.  Wait up.  Hold up.)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-02 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Grand-who-what now?

[Charlie asks.]
flashy_magic: (Explaining)

Re: Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-02 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Like grandchildren, but with inmates instead of children.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Why are you hitting yourself?)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but why would that make Kay pretend to give a crap about us?

[Scrad asks.]
flashy_magic: (Explaining)

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-02 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Kay, I thought you meant Narvin. And Kay's probably not pretending...mostly. He and Narvin both look out for me, and you're my inmate.
twoheadsofcabbage: (Heeeeeeere's Charlie!)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
What does he get out of it?

[Charlie asks.]
flashy_magic: (pic#)

Private

[personal profile] flashy_magic 2012-05-02 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. He's a caring, fatherly person? Any former inmate of Narvin's is like a former inmate of his?
twoheadsofcabbage: ("Sup Picard?" Said Wesley.)

Private

[personal profile] twoheadsofcabbage 2012-05-03 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Uh, why?

[Scrad asks, slowly, as if that would help.]
