[You are in a jamjar. Like most jamjars, the vast majority of characters here are human or look human. But not you.

This makes roommate situations somewhat awkward sometimes... except with your new assigned roommate, whose eyes literally sparkle when she sees you.]

Oh...! I was definitely lucky with the room assignments this time. Nice to meet you!

[abnormalizes]

Sorry. Tell me if I'm coming on too strong?

[leafygreen]

I'm not exactly sure I can tell how strong is too much. I suppose that comes with the territory when you're not sure whether you have emotions.

[abnormalizes]

I mean, I could try to get an emotional response out of you, but I'm not sure that would be a great way to test that...

[leafygreen]

Besides, who knows if it's just an imitation of what I've seen before? It's hard to empirically prove these things.

[abnormalizes]

Is it really that important? If you have imitation feelings, those are just as good as real feelings, I think.

[leafygreen]

It's a question of legitimacy. If they're not real, they can be more easily disregarded, so I want to prove it one way or the other.

[abnormalizes]

People shouldn't ignore your feelings wherever they come from. People are jerks.

[leafygreen]

I suppose so. But if I give them proof and they keep on how they were, then that's their problem.

[abnormalizes]

It's their problem either way. Because they're assholes.

[leafygreen]

You know, you really are a kind person. I'm not sure you're the one who was lucky with the room assignments.

[abnormalizes]

I'm definitely nothing special, though...

[leafygreen]

Why's that? Because there are plenty of humans around?

[abnormalizes]

Exactly. You could totally have your pick of humans.

[leafygreen]

You sound like they're expendable. Though I guess that can be chalked up to the environment you came out of.

[abnormalizes]

It's not a great place for the whole 'value of human life' thing, no.

[leafygreen]

What about the value of everything else? Or is that just you?

[abnormalizes]

Mostly me, sadly.

[leafygreen]

By your own logic, that isn't sad at all, though, is it? It means you have your pick of supernatural beings.

[abnormalizes]

I'm only one person! I can't possibly give every supernatural being as much affection as they deserve.

[leafygreen]

So you'd want to be more than one person so you could have a bigger harem?

[abnormalizes]

...I mean, I was going for 'more people should love nonhumans so they can all be happy', but I'm not going to argue with that interpretation either.

[leafygreen]

Oh, I guess I should've thought of your version first. I wasn't sure. You never know with people.

[abnormalizes]

I won't lie and say I wouldn't like a harem... But it'd be nice if nonhumans were treated better in general, you know?

[leafygreen]

I guess that's true everywhere. Or at least in a good array of places. Statistically, there have to be some places they're different.

[abnormalizes]

Maybe places where nonhumans are the majority?
