[Technically, the Pokemon had arrived with the others on the 18th, but he had done his best to remain inconspicuous and had slunk away soon after receiving the welcome letter. Feel free to have seen a giant cat monster skulking about in the corner and flying off, but there's no indication that this message is from the same individual. He'd rather keep his face off the network for now.]

How simple life would be if I were unable to feel empathy. Even when I have been taken forcibly from my home and given absurd demands...

But no matter.

I have many questions, but I imagine my fellow captives have little in the ways of answers. So I will ask for your opinions instead.

What do you think of nonhumans? I have seen a surprising amount here that are clearly of other species. It intrigues me...

[A shrug goes here.]

They're okay.

[Yeah, that's pretty much it.]

[Welp. He sort of waits for a moment in case there's more, but....WELL OK THATS COOL HE GUESSES.]

I have heard worse opinions, if not shorter ones.

[Luke's still getting used to the texting function, so he types pretty slowly.]

I've lived with a lot of nonhumans before. It's really not that big of a deal.

[Granted, Luke's still trying to figure out what category he falls under, but he won't say that.]

[Text]

[readytobe]

Interesting....but were they sentient? Or do you refer to something such as pet ownership?

[favored_four_eyes]

As long as their not trying to kill us, it's all good.

text

[readytobe]

And why would they do such a thing?

[video] because what is texting when you've never encountered a keyboard before

[dragoncrest]

[Freya appears without her trademark hat when she sends her message, so it's fairly obvious she's among the nonhumans Mewtwo is referring to.]

Have you seen many who are not human? I have only met one other than myself, though I have not been here very long.

[She may be hoping a little bit that there is another Burmecian here, though she knows it isn't likely.]

[text] don't worry, freya, texting is fun. you can make silly emotes with it! :D

[readytobe]

[Oooooh how interesting. The other responders, as far as he can tell, have all been human, so Freya gets to be his first. But what sort of creature is she? Not one he recognizes, but that isn't a bad thing. Despite his natural wariness of strangers, he is rather curious.]

"Many" would be an overstatement, but it is more than I am used to. In my world, cities are populated and run almost entirely by humans.

Some here are nearly human in appearance, whereas others could never be mistaken for one.

Non humans? What are you an alien or something? -You aren't the only one, so need to be shy. Don't worry about it man- or lady- er whatever you'd like to be addressed as.

I come from a place where there are a lot of humans but we have a bunch of animals too- they count as non human don't they? And actually my best friend Tony is from outer space! I think non humans are just fine- they can be really cool too.

[NO DON'T SMILE AT HIM. He is grumpy and does not enjoy this chipper attitude. Sorry, he's a butt 8( ]

What I am is no business of yours, stranger.

Animals are certainly considered "nonhuman". What I refer to, however, are sentient species. Ones that are intelligent and feeling. Not all animals are able to fit into this description.

What is this place you are from? A place where interstellar travel is possible, I see.

[goldcomplex]

They're not always so different from anyone else, though they certainly have more spark in their lives.

text;

[readytobe]

What an interesting thing to say...more "spark"? [VERY INTERESTING. Is this a positive statement?]

text.

[gingerzippo]

You mean the robots?

text.

[readytobe]

Or other sentient beings, yes. Whether organic or technological.

Are there many sentient machines here? [The Pokemon world does have cool technology, but not much AI. He's a little curious.]

text

[paraclete]

Simpler, but lacking in quality, I believe.

I do not feel negatively towards nonhumans.

text

[readytobe]

Perhaps. [He agrees, actually. But it would be nice if he could, like, turn off having feelings once in a while. Feelings are hard. :( ]

Surprisingly, your opinion seems to be the consensus. Even though I suspect that many who respond are human themselves.

[5thchild]

My feelings for others are not based on their species. In other words, I have no reason to dislike nonhumans.

text

[readytobe]

Have you met many other species? Whether here, or on your homeworld?

[Text]

[emperor_with_no_groove]

[Huh, what an interesting question.]

If you mean animals, I think most people like them. Some are afraid of certain types, like large dogs, but they should be able to overcome it.

If you have another nonhuman type in mind, you’ll have to be more specific.

text

[readytobe]

It is interesting that you assume that "nonhuman" means "animals, such as dogs". [Interesting, and telling, in Mewtwo's opinion. He is maybe judging. He is also maybe overly harsh. :|b ]

[text]

[fraternize]

Whether they're human or not matters very little to me. [he's not human himself, but:]

As long as they mean no harm, I don't mind them.

[text]

[readytobe]

Do you assume that a nonhuman would wish to harm you? [slowly lets mewtwo put foot in mouth....]

[ In order to answer this as honestly as possible Steph assumes her Batgirl voice, which has almost none of the New Jersey accent of every day. ]

From what I've seen they're just like anyone else. One of my best friends is from another planet.

text

[readytobe]

You are not the first to speak of extraterrestrial friendships. Is this common on your world? [They sort of have alien Pokemon, but otherwise, it's mostly Martians and UFOs and stuff, so it interests him.]

[alwaysloyal]

There are many who are currently investigating and are trying to gather as much information as they possibly can. What do you wish to know? That way we can add it to the list of information to search for.

[And as for his question over nonhumans.]

The general consensuses seems to be positive over the matter of humans and nonhumans being able to co-exist with minimal effort. You or your non-human acquaintance are safe here. There have been no incidents of report of altercations between the two species.

text;

[readytobe]

I imagine that it is the same information as others have desired. Who is this investigative group? And what have they discovered so far?

The "two" species? Surely there is more than one type of nonhuman here.

[voice]

[winged_knight]

[Wing seems a little distracted by the way this message starts to actually answer any of the questions.]

You...would want to lack empathy?

[Wing's voice, despite the slightly tinny quality, certainly does not.]

text

[readytobe]

[What an interesting voice. A mechanical being of some sort?]

It is both a gift and a curse, is it not? Empathy has taught me so much...yet it has also awakened me to the pain of others...have you never wished that you could stop feeling, even for a short time?

text

[agelostdoll]

Who cares? We're all in the same boat. [oh how much abuse that phrase got once they all started living on ships... Asuka isn't as human as she used to be either, which contributes too]

It's interesting to note this place affects everyone equally though. It rules out a biological cause for the drain effects, for one.

text

[readytobe]

A relevant observation. [Ten points to Gryffindor!]

Very interesting, indeed. Even non-organic beings are affected?

text;

[goldenflint]

One of my good friends is, as you say, nonhuman. If it weren't for him... I wouldn't be here right now.

text;

[readytobe]

"Here", as in, this planet? [He's joking, mostly. He knows what she means.]

[hasthepotential]

Non-humans is a pretty broad category!

[Two pop to mind right off the bat, in fact.]

I've had a mix of experiences, to be honest. I couldn't develop a general opinion, since there're both good and bad of humans and non-humans alike! But I'd say the good definitely makes up for the bad!

text

[readytobe]

Hmm. Yours is perhaps the most reasonable opinion of them all. It is true - there are both good and bad nonhumans, just as there are both good and bad humans.

In truth, I expected less intelligent responses.

[text]

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

[he's not sure how he stands on that how scale himself, but hey. still relevant to his interests.]

dont care as long as theyre not fucking up anything for me or my friends
so whats the story behind the question
you a sentient tree or something

[text]

[readytobe]

A sentient tree? Do you know many of those? [DODGIN THEM QUESTIONS]
