A question of some interest. I had noticed the curious amount of varying species on board. But it is hard to keep track of what is what here.

[Or maybe he just needs to get out more. Or lurk harder on these devices. Either way.]

More curious would be a list of the varying species.

I am Asgardian. Yourself?

i think medical wwas puttin together some kinda list but this ship generally doesnt acclimate wwell to the idea a lists in general
much less ones about wwhos not human on a predominantly human boat

alternian by the wway
probably one a the best examples a alternian culture on this ship

ok admittedly im probably the only alternian left here but still
pretty good example

Of course. Far be it that the humans pay much attention to anything not directly affecting them.

I shall take your word for it. I have not had the pleasure of meeting an Alternian before this day. A pity. I am fond of many different realms and their varying people. Would you tell me a bit about yours?

It is, of course, possible that the overwhelming majority of humans has caused those who can pass effectively to remain silent about their true natures.
Nepeta is still here, if you were wondering.
I observed her very recently in a discussion about one Mr. Strider's unmentionables.

she is
oh
thats good
i wwas kind a wwonderin after her wwhereabouts but yeah ok that wworks

anywway yeah i could see people wwantin to hide that kind a thing
i had a convversation wwhere someone basically said nonhumans arent as good as humans
theres some serious fuckin prejudice goin on in this ship
but nobody should wworry about bein ovverrun by humans around here its not like you guys can actually do anythin to us

Then keeping a low profile makes sense, for those who can, anyway.

[Meaning you, Eridan, cannot.]

If there is prejudice as you say, however, I wouldn't expect all nonhumans to be as confident as you.
At least insofar as being overrun by humans is concerned.

[Hey screw you lady, Eridan could keep a low profile if he wanted to!]

its not like anyones been vviolent about it or anythin that i knoww of
they just get all fuckin bitchy an wweird an wwanna interrogate any nonhuman they meet for the first time
ivve had people ask if they can touch my horns ok that shit isnt copacetic in the fuckin slightest wwho evven does that
but yeah i guess they wwouldnt be it takes a lot a guts an the knowwledge that you havve people wwho might havve your back if shit goes sour an i guess most people dont havve that here
or you knoww
a spine

that might actually be true a someone for all i knoww

How insensitive.
However, it's only natural for people to be curious of things they've never seen before.
I'm sure it's not meant to be offensive.
Humans tend to fear what they don't know, after all.

Youre still here!!
Oh this is fantastic!
Howdy ho, how are you doing?? I dont remember your name its been quite sometime.

its eridan

an im doin fine obvviously im still alivve an thats all you can ask for around here

Sir eridan i quite remember vaguely in my noggin your name but im sort of forgetful hahaha..
Sweet great elephants i feel less fretting now that your mauve text has appeared on my device i thought you went doodley squat up and out of here.

Its comforting to know you are faring fine.
I am pleased to know a troll folk is still here.
:)

nep is still here somewwhere i guess at least thats wwhat rose said anywway
wwhy wwould you be frettin one wway or another if trolls wwere here though i mean its not like it affects your livvelihood

Not sure who nep is but im sure shes right!
You know your name eridan reminds me of a good ole pal of mine back on xenon.
He called himself erisolsprite and he was hilarious!! His sense of humor always gave me the giggles.

Are you two related somehow?

nep is short for nepeta cmon keep up wwith the general theme a my quirk

wwait wwhat
wwhat are you talkin about

Some of us non-humans look enough like them to pass, whether we want to or not. It's not that we like it, but it's hard to avoid if we don't want to start conversations with, "Hi, nice to meet you, just so you know I'm a different species."

Do you have reason to believe you're in danger from the humans?

not really i mean some of my best friends on this ship are humans an its not like i think im in danger anywway if i wwanted to i could hold my owwn against an angry mob a human bigots
but yeah it makes sense you wwouldnt just spout that out i mean its pretty obvvious wwith me but i bet it wwould be awwkwward to just casually throww that tidbit in there

I'm guessing you're a troll, from the writing quirk and not being human? Although for all I know there are dozens of different species from your universe. But if you are, I'm pretty sure Nepeta Leijon is still onboard, or was as of the last jump.

If you are the last of your kind here, you've got my sympathies. I'm in the same position, and it's not a comfortable one.

yeah i am an i knoww that nep is supposed to be somewwhere wwhich is good

i wwas the only one around here for a wwhile an it sucked nobody got evven the most simplistic fuckin facts about me
evven noww if im the first troll someone meets they wwanna touch my horns an make fun a my accent an generally act like a jackass a the highest caliber

Is she? That's good. She and I are friendly, and I've learned not to take friends for granted on this ship.

Wow, that's some behavior. I don't see how anybody has room to talk about accents with the variety we've got around here, and asking to touch parts of a stranger's anatomy strike me as pretty impolite. I don't blame you for being annoyed.

nep is friendly to evveryone
or should i say furrendly

yeah theyre fuckin stupid but wwhen i get annoyed an say shit about it people alwways respond wwith derision an shit an thats basically wwhy i stopped makin psas at the start a evvery jump cycle tellin people about howw there are different species an suchlike on board
nobody really cares they just wwanna ask rude as hell questions an be annoyin

Depends what you mean by 'nonhuman'.

i mean not human wwhat else wwould i mean

hey were still here
just not as active as we used to be
in other words striders reporting in
the last of us

oh
i guess there are more a us around than i thought
granted i wwas mostly referrin to the trolls aboard not the humans
or sprites i guess

you say last of you like theres more than three striders in the entire knowwn univverse

if you want to be technical
theres at least two more
our rad bro
and the supposedly legendary adult dave
if they got revived the dead that is
oh and kidbros digital self

howw many fuckin striders does this univverse need
also its entirely likely one a them could showw up after bein dead i mean that aint uncommon around here

more like how many does it want
because i bet thats a high number
anyway hopefully not guardian dave because that would be confusing
three daves
one of them being an adult
not something i want to deal with

Do you think your safety is compromised in the presence of humans? Has it been in the past? I'm not, if that in any way influences your answer.

it wwouldnt influence my answwer one wway or another im not afraid to tell humans wwhat i think a them an their wweird naggin questions an derision ovver my accent

but no its not like ivve felt singled out in a cullin kind a manner
but wwhen youre on a ship like this wwhere people are generally gonna be fuckin assholes as it is it kind a feels wweird to be a minority
i mean i could probably defend myself against an entire human revvolt if the case arose an itd probably be fuckin badass an most people wwould regret havvin underestimated me
but i dont see that happenin
mostly i just see people hasslin me about the horns or the fins or the accent or the completely normal fashion choices i make

Yes, the majority of humans on the ship seems to be from the twenty-first century, where that kind of xenophilia is quite common. That said, the non-humans may not be as scarce as you think.

"Xenophobia" is, I believe, the word you had in mind, my dear.

Then again, perhaps not. You would in this case know better than I.
