[there is a lizard teen in camp today, friends. he seems to be muttering softly to himself]

I guess I could complain about getting stuck here again, but really..."weird farm" is pretty much normal for me. Plus it smells better than the swamp...wonder where they're keeping the mutants this time?

Looks like it's new people time again . . .

[easybreezyidiot]

He's a freak.

[justwannahave]

And you're staring.

Also, I think people might object to those terms on principle.

[easybreezyidiot]

I hear enough of that from Julian and Cess, now you're going to start too?

[justwannahave]

Hey, if they're objecting to it, then it's a good sign that certain labels aren't kosher. Mainly because it's something other people call them.

[puffing up a bit]

I get called freak all the time at home. It's what my friends call me. So everyone needs to get over it.

[justwannahave]

What if your non-friends called you that? The meaning would be different, no?

[easybreezyidiot]

They do. Doesn't bother me.

[justwannahave]

I guess it wouldn't bother people that much in your world, seeing as everyone is under sixteen . . .

[easybreezyidiot]

What's that have to do with it?

[justwannahave]

. . . It's too soon for your labels to have the same meaning as they do in Cessily's world.

[easybreezyidiot]

Whatever. They're true, right? You can get offended over being called a freak, but if it's the truth...

[justwannahave]

I think the point they're trying to make is that some terms sound more derogatory than others.

[easybreezyidiot]

Words are just words.

[justwannahave]

And words just happen to be how people communicate and pass on ideas. Certain terms would support the killing of people like yourself.

You're a buzzkill, Cindy.
