People have been...condescending?

[strengthofdoubt]

More than somewhat. Even I'd expect a little more courtesy from people when talking to someone who hasn't even had time to come to terms with being stolen from their planet without so much as an explanation.

[bbsatbyrobots]

B-but that's terrible! Why would they act like that?

[strengthofdoubt]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[hourai_branch]

Well some people here are really old!

[strengthofdoubt]

Age shouldn't be carried like a crown. It comes with experience, but also enough perspective to understand that lording over the ignorant accomplishes nothing.

[hourai_branch]

You really should stay well away from my world then.

[strengthofdoubt]

It's not exactly on my list of vacation spots, no.

[fail_mastermind]

... the first few people I spoke with when I first arrived were... less than pleasant, too.

[strengthofdoubt]

If I wanted a hazing, I'd join the army.

Unfortunately, I don't think this town cares about what we want.

[strengthofdoubt]

An unpleasant welcome from the sane locals doesn't have anything to do with what the town wants. People are exactly as polite as they feel like being.

[Not condescending, you say? Dug has wandering in and is staring at him curiously. He definitely smelled different than the other master he had here. Where had he gone, anyway?]

[strengthofdoubt]

Oh, good, a pet. I never was good with animals.

[alpha_dug]

[Sniff, sniff.]

You are a new master! Hi there!

First I was like

[beatssuperpaper]

Oh, someone with a care for manners. How adorable.

[In her best "I'm really a cute little Rika, why are you angry? Nipah" voice]

Oh, I came across as condescending? I'm sorry.

[strengthofdoubt]

More than somewhat.

[beatssuperpaper]

[She chuckles]

Pardon me. The general rules of polite behaviour differ from place to place, and it is easy to lose track. There just are so many different places - the senate of heaven, the circles of hell, remote japanese villages...each demanding their own behavior to not offend.
