013 ♍ VIDEO

[ Kanaya turns on the camera, glancing at a distant point to the side, wearing a great scowl. ]

Have you ever had those days when you've had to empty out your savings to relocate friends whose lives are in active danger?

Well, happy birthday to me.

[ She finally looks at the camera directly, as Ashiah can be seen bumbling across the wall behind her. ] I think it's time to admit I need a new weapon. The Porter recently took the one I've relied upon for years, and this [ She brings her hand up, holding a large knife. ] has proven a feeble replacement. I'd prefer something with more weight and reach, something that can actually deal damage. Motorized, if possible.

So, I'm open to suggestions. If you craft any yourself, sell me on your product. I'm willing to learn something new, but no firearms. They don't agree with my style.

Yeah, not literally racism, but, like, racismish.

[Congratulations, Jaime; you just summarized the entirety of X-Men.]

The last person who wanted to do this -- did he change his mind, or is he still gunning for them?

The last person. It sounds like you've taken care of the one who was actually doing it last week. Asking for a new weapon is a big hint.

You'd think that of all people, imPorts would realize how rough it is being different. Especially not-human different.

I'm glad you were there to help them.

[Maybe Jaime should latch onto and take offense to that you lot, but it's hard to when his own humanity is debatable; oh, he's human all right, but he feels a little less than that and a little more than that when his veins run electric.]

We got reason to want us to be better than that. I mean, I get your point and everything, but there's not that many of us. You'd think that since every single one of us has met someone who's not human, they'd figure out that hating each other based on nothing makes no sense.

But, uh... preaching to the choir, I know.

I guess not.

[He feels as though he knows the answer to this question, given how wary everyone's been of Khaji, but he has to ask it anyway.]

Have you really met that many imPorts that hate you because you're not human...?

...yeah. Yeah, that makes more sense. I'm not sure if I can blame the natives -- no offense or anything, but I wouldn't blame 'em for not being sure of any imPort, not only the non-humans.

[Crane, Hisoka, Pan, Lucifer... how could they feel safe amongst that sort of thing? He smiles at her, though it's a weak, twitching sort of thing.]

But most of the guys who've actually caused trouble at least look human. Jury's out on whether or not they are.

Re: video

[personal profile] khajidont 2016-06-15 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Exactly. Most of the time, if I'm just walking around, I pretend like I'm not an imPort.

[He shrugs. It's not that he's ashamed, or that he won't step out if the situation calls for it, but he loathes attention. Pretending to be a native is just easier.]

You guys can't really do that.
khajidont: (Jaime - idek I'm running out of words)

[personal profile] khajidont 2016-06-16 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I don't think anyone really wants to pretend to be something they're not. It'd be a different story if we didn't all get taken to a different Earth, huh?

[Then they'd be the weird ones! Then again, Jaime's not so sure that he wouldn't just walk around in-uniform all the time if that was considered to be the norm. He dislikes attention enough to go to such lengths.]
khajidont: (Jaime - Aw come on)

Re: video

Probably. There has to be some reason for most of us being human, when the Porter can obviously take people from all over the universe -- and even when they do, most non-humans know that we exist, even if most humans don't think life on other planets exists. Plus, I mean... most of the non-humans are, uh, what's the word?

[He looks up, staring off-screen. He knows they covered this in science class...]

Bipedal! Two eyes, usually a nose and a mouth. I know there's more than people like that out there.

[And yet what ends up here? Humans, or people that look at least somewhat like them. He has, perhaps, had too much time to consider the whims of the Porter.]

Yeah, good point. The Porter follows a ton of trends -- it's just that most of them don't actually make much sense. Except the being able to survive part. That's a good one. It'd probably be bad news if it ported in, like, some species that can only live underwater. That would suck.

I guess we should all be thankful that there aren't a bunch of imPorts dying once they arrive 'cause the government has no idea how to keep them alive. Thaaaat's kinda dark to think about, though. I'm just gonna...

[He leans back, and knocks on wood. Just in case!]
