So. Paint me curious: how many of your guys have an oddly specific hatred of humans?

[This entry is voiced, but as for the background, well. It's her at a little tent-based campesite up in the mountains. She decided to try her hand at hiking over to the beach to check that out, and she's at a base camp of sorts. ...Yeah so stalking

[...gonna keep an eye on all the responses here, for future reference.]

As far as I can tell; too many.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

Not unusual in my world.

["Look like one" implies either a Ditto or something that can create illusions, and the illusion-using Zoroark are a foreign species...]

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

Yeah? Must be pretty confusing if the abilities too common.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

Not common

but not unusual

[Maintaining the fine psychic control needed to write with a pen is hard enough - he's trying to keep it short, which means no explanation of Ditto for you.]

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

[BAAW. But now she can't help but wonder. He's not responding to her baits.... which can mean one of a few things, but let's make a guess]

You're not human either, and you can't speak something I'd understand.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

[...eh, she's being nice about it]

telepath

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

[Alarm bells ring in her head. telepath. A species like the Zelgaren, the Klovian? How powerful, how... she hates telepaths.

But she hates most things to some extent, so after a distinct pause (and maybe a slight sound of agitation) she responds-]

Your whole species?

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

[...that's a loaded question. He'll answer truthfully, though, and not elaborate.]

Only me.

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

[And yet he can't - or won't - speak. Or doesn't know how to... there's a few options here.

Either way, let's focus on point B]

You learned to write though.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

I learned to read before Luceti

writing became necessary here

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

True enough, these books are pretty vital.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

and telepathy does not transmit

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

So you actually can't make vocal sound, can you?

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

[That was fast.]

For the most part

[voice]

[compos_mentis]

[Cue a short laugh]

Points for effort, your writing's not that bad for someone picking it up out of necessity.

[written]

[antlioncyclone]

mimicking the letters is not difficult

[Holding the pen steady is, though.]
