[Mewtwo takes to the journals for his first real post to the network - he spends more time thinking over what needs to be said than actually writing. Placing words on a page for everyone to see is different than communicating directly to someone, and isn't something that Mewtwo quite understands the way most others seem to. Language isn't an

[Depressed or not, draft or not, mild-hangover-effects-still-bugging-him or not, this was written by a non-human sapient. It had to be.

So it instantly gets Robert's attention. Even if the writing is strange - spastic, all over the place, with scattered markings through it - it's legible enough that he can understand it.]

Well. I am a homo sapiens myself - but I presume, from you asking this question, that you are not? [As an astrobiologist, this intrigues him muchly.]

... And what is a "Pokemon"?

Pokemon is what is not human - in my own world

but that cannot be true here

[He doesn't really know how to define it anymore.]

So your world has two species only - humans and Pokemon? [That seems like an extremely restricted biosphere.]

Are Pokemon perhaps an extremely varied species? Similar to something like domesticated canines on pre-Terran Earth?

Regardless, I am enthusiastic to meet another non-human sapient. It is always a pleasure seeing the vast scope of life in the multiverses.

[Okay, I grew up with a scientist and all and I should be used to this, but holy crap dem words. Let's see here - points to the first, what the hell are canines on pre-Terran blah blah, joy in scientific curiosity - yeah, that last one is obvious.]

there are many kinds

[Hopefully that answers the question...?]

[...Interesting. It appears to be some kind of monster, but it functions at a much higher cognitive level.]

Regardless of how many species inhabit this world, there are only two kinds of races. Those who oppress others, and those who suffer from that oppression.

[antlioncyclone]

[Damn straight I do.

And Mewtwo's just going to be...blinking at that for a while before replying.]

Why do you think that?

[written | filtered like COFFEE]

[imatreenow]

Because it is the truth. People fear that which is different. One group sees another that differs from themselves, and they come to fear those people. They do all they can to subjugate that group and make themselves feel superior.

[written | filtered indeed]

[antlioncyclone]

[That makes a whole lot of no sense to Mewtwo. But it...could be true. Who is he to say it isn't? There are a lot of things that he doesn't understand, after all.]

what kind of people?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm, what kind of creature am I...? [Yeah, she genuinely forgets.]

[antlioncyclone]

[Mewtwo, who does not quite get the concept of 'talking to oneself', answers literally.]

I don't know.

[lostinmyway]

[Hm, this is too much of a puzzle. Let's go with what we know.]

Well, I'm Grune. What's your name?
