135... the wark at midnight

[atouchofstrife]

Gysahl on the Green will have its first official race tonight. We start at seven, so there's plenty of time to try some gin and watch a couple fights over the arena way. Just remember - leave the weapons and grudges at the door.

Staffers have permission to use excessive force to remove troublemakers. We enforce a neutral stance on all other groups within our territory, got it? Mess with ours and you'll find out why there's a price on my head.



[ooc; B-grade Mad Max/gangland gambling den/mob boss mode get! Or is it? BUT this is the official Race Track opening race.]

I was never in a place to take many. But in a way it might have been cheating for me to take any of them.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

I could imagine.

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

Then again nobody but me would ever know so it wouldn't have been a big deal. Bigger things to worry about though.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

You've got megalomaniacs trying to take over your world too?

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

Not quite. We have a government that put us in camps and gave us lovely facial tattoos to remind everyone of what we are and that use giant robots to make sure we stay in the camps or get brought back.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Huh. Sounds like they took over before someone figured it out. Almost sounds like ShinRa.

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

No and yes. They knew what was happening and there was a fight but with the power nullification devices and some other factors they were taken. Most humans always sort of hated us, they just never went that far.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Humans... were never good at understanding something that's close to them but not close enough. Sometimes I think that the only reason SOLDIERs managed to live outside of ShinRa was because no one figured out how to really bring one down without destroying the better part of a city with them.

Is there a way your world would be fixed?

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

They have a right to fear us to an extent. But to blindly assume that mutant equals evil threat is idiotic.

I'm working on it. At least I was before being pulled here. It's complicated, the other people from my world haven't experienced it. Hopefully they won't. Our world has a lot of time travel, I went to the future and I'm working on it.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

All it takes is one to prove them right. And then anyone with that taint is a target, no matter how many lives you save...

We have returning bad seeds instead of time travel but yeah. I understand. I think this place won't steal too much time.

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the truth.

It won't take any time from there. It's still annoying being here though.

Are a lot of people from your world here?

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this place really gets old.

Mm a few. Not that many as there was a while ago, but I guess that's this place's way of keeping a person on your toes. What about you?

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

That it does.

There are a lot of us here. I've been keeping my distance from all but two though. Things are different for me than it is for them.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I can understand that too. Though... sometimes, it's okay to just talk to all of them. Sometimes.

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

For me not at the moment.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

That bad, huh?

[i-know-stuff.livejournal.com]

No. None of them have done anything to me and I haven't done anything to them. I just can't deal with them not being the versions of them that I need. So it's purely selfish.

[cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com]

...Mm, I see. I can understand that. I'm not sure how I would react if someone came from my world that didn't know me.
