[He still doesn't trust people, not here. Not anywhere, really. But he has to know. In a place this weird, he has to know.]

I'm just wondering... who here is not human? You don't need to tell me who you are if you don't want to, but I just want to get a sense for how many people who are not human are here.

I can't be the only one.

And a second question: is it safe for those who are not human here? I mean, I am definitely not like one of those beast things and I have no plans of attacking people. But human-dominated places tend to be somewhat unsafe for us.

And if you are some kind of mad scientist type reading this? Fuck off. We don't need people like you on our asses.

[Is that enough of a difference from his usual typing? He'll have to be careful about capitalization and punctuation so it sounds different from him, but...]

Sea folk, huh? Like mermaids and stuff?

Do you at least look human? Because I don't.

[schoolingfish]

kind of like that

i look human when i'm dry. i get scales and fins and a tail when i'm wet

[hachitaro]

Oh, I see.

Yeah I'm small and fuzzy. Not really human-like.

[schoolingfish]

oh! you sound really cute, i'm sure people will like you!

i mean, they're ok with my other form, and i'm all scaley

[hachitaro]

I guess I am? I'm soft, I suppose.

You have a human face though, right?

[schoolingfish]

In human form I do. In my sea folk form...it's humanish, but I don't have a nose and my face is covered in scales. There's other little differences, too. And of course I have fins instead of hair.

[hachitaro]

Oh, I see. I was thinking of the sort you see in movies.

[schoolingfish]

oh. no, i'm fishier than that

[hachitaro]

Got it.

... Does that mean you don't eat fish?

[schoolingfish]

why would that mean i don't eat fish?

humans eat mammals.

[hachitaro]

I guess that's true. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. That was rude of me.

[schoolingfish]

that's okay. i've had other people assume that, too, but we do eat fish and oysters and stuff
