No, I mean.

The neighbourhood. The cafe. This boardwalk.

All of it is bright and cute.

[outdistanced]

Oh, that. It's not actually like this - at least not in the Tower. I think this is a "Heaven" thing.

[boxcar]

What is the Tower?

[outdistanced]

It's where I grew up - somewhere safe for people like.

[ there's a slight hesitation, but he decides to keep talking anyway. ]

I've only been outside a few times, and it wasn't like this out there, either.

[boxcar]

A community then.

It's good that it was safe. Everybody deserves having a place like that.

[outdistanced]

[ nodding because he agrees!! also wow that was supposed to be "people like me" but you get it ]

Yeah, I agree. Having to live outside sounds like a nightmare. I don't get why anyone would want to.

[boxcar]

[ Oh I just fully believed he stopped before that yeah. He looks a bit softer at him maybe. ]

Are things very unsafe outside of the Tower?

[outdistanced]

For demiflora? Yeah. People hunt us down out there. That's why we have the Tower in the first place.

[boxcar]

Demiflora?

[ He's frowning because what do you mean HUNT. ]

[outdistanced]

People with superhuman abilities. Like - I can teleport, because I'm a Daphne demiflora. A Lotus can control water, a Rose can heal... stuff like that.

[boxcar]

[ He doesn't know what a Daphne is but the other two he can kind of make a guess. ]

Flowers?

[ LIKE 'FLORA' DOESN'T IMPLY THAT but listen it's a lot to consider. Wow first furries and now flories. ]

[outdistanced]

[ deadpan: ] We're not part plant.

But yeah, flowers. Don't ask me why.

[boxcar]

And people hunt you because...

[ Tries to think about the lessons he's learned from other, similar sources. Why are so many of you guys persecuted? ]

They think you are dangerous for these powers?

[outdistanced]

That's probably part of it. But some of our powers are also tied to our bodies, so Spawncampers will hunt us down to take those. Apparently they can make a lot of money off of it.

[boxcar]

[ Them being called Spawncampers is so funny. CoD lobby shit. ]

...

You are not animals.

[ What the hell, man. ]

[outdistanced]

You don't have to tell me that. That's why they made the Tower, though - so we could live somewhere without having to worry about those people finding us all the time.

[boxcar]

It makes sense why you have only been outside a few times then.

...

Travel is overrated anyway.

[outdistanced]

[ stop validating laurence ]

I was never that interested in leaving, anyway.

...I take it you travel a lot?

[boxcar]

[ No, he's here to support you. ]

No. I'd also never left Vatican City until recently.

[outdistanced]

Vatican City? You're from Europe?

[ the more he talks to people the more he's surprised to hear about earth locations!! ]

Why'd you leave, then?

[boxcar]

It's Europa. For me.

[ This is the second time someone has said Europe. What the fuck is up with that? ]

...I had to leave. Troubles.

[outdistanced]

[ maybe not earth, then. but close enough? ]

...Sorry. For whatever happened.

[boxcar]

It's...

[ Frowning. He looks a bit grim. ]

I made my own problems.

[outdistanced]

...Guess we all do that sometimes. Maybe that's why we're here.

[boxcar]

It is a nicer place than I was expecting, for it.

I can't ignore it though. Even if I think it's too good, I have something I need to go back to. I'm not throwing this away.
