... seriously, that's my username?

[She kind of gets it, but also wow. Wow. But anyway, not the purpose of this audio recording!]

Okay so I have two questions for you all.

One, the whole point of here is to help out by touching, yeah? I guess my question is, do you all have like certain people you go to do that with or what?

[She then makes a few popping sounds with her mouth before continuing.]

Two, just uh. How many people here aren't human? If you feel comfortable sharing that fact of course! If it helps, I'm not human although I look it.

[Then an awkward silence or two before...]

Oh right, I should probably introduce myself? I'm Jessenia Garcia, but I'll answer to Jess.

[happydreamed]

I usually fulfill my quota by cuddling with my wife - being here with her dramatically simplifies things.

Hello, Jess. My name is Kantera. I happen to be a Draken, a descendant of humans and dragons.

[rollingwithit]

Yeah that does make things a hell of a lot easier.

[Good thing this is voice, or she would totally end up pronouncing his name wrong if she only saw it in text.]

Hey Kantera, and huh. That's neat. Dragons aren't really a thing back home, so uh, being part dragon is cool?

[happydreamed]

Dragons are very cool, I agree. May I ask what sort of nonhuman you are?

un:happyaround

[roundandaround]

Oh! I thought you were like Neechan. Like, looking for nonhumans because you like them.

[rollingwithit]

Ahahaha well... Most non-humans back home are the same as me? And I met a turtle guy a little after I got here, so I was just wondering about other non-humans?

[Also maybe she might be interested like that. But she ain't admitting that.]

[roundandaround]

Yeah, there's tons of nonhumans! Or at least a decent amount. And then there's people like me where I'm technically still human on the inside, like, I show up on scans as "human" and stuff.

un:shimmercode, voice

[daydreamshimmer]

One, it is certainly easier if you have people who you reliably touch often, though most are willing to help out.

Two, a fairly sizeable part of the outsider population. Including those who look very human, but aren't. Or people who look human for their world, anyway. [The amber yellow skin is an oddity amongst other worlds, after all.]

I'm Sunset Shimmer.

[rollingwithit]

Yeah, I just got here so I guess I gotta do that.

[A slight huh at the answer to the second and well, that name.]

I'm gonna wild guess here that your parents aren't hippies with that kind of name?

[daydreamshimmer]

I'm a magical, brightly colored unicorn and our names are all like that.

[hyphanated]

I have a friend or two that I can go to. Otherwise I don't really have any certain people.

As for not being human...I'm a mushroom. I can look human most of the time, though.

[rollingwithit]

A friend or two is better than nobody, really.

A mushroom? Are you human sized? Or are you the kind that can mind control a human body and that's how you end up looking human?

[It doesn't occur to her that it might be rude to ask all that.]

UN: Intergalactic Baseballer 🌠video

[starwill]

[ Stelle raises her hand as if she were at school. ]

I don't have any "other form" or anything like that like some of the others that I know that aren't human but... I'm pretty sure I'd count.

[ Not that she minds either way, really. ]

I don't exactly have 'certain people' myself; I'm pretty much willing to help out whenever I can for the touch-related stuff. Like I'll give handshakes during work when bartending. [ Oh, right, introductions: ] I'm Stelle, by the way. Local Trailblazer and Intergalactic Baseballer.

[rollingwithit]

[Oh video... she should probably respond in kind. Although she's holding the phone like a phone, so gotta adjust so now she's holding it like she's shooting a tiktok or something.]

Huh, intergalactic. So you're like an alien then? [Oh right other stuff was said, should... Address that.]

The touch stuff sounds like it's easy with the right job, yeah.

You can change your username to whatever you want it to be and change it later too if you feel like changing it.

[If no one pointed that out yet.]

My friends from home arrived here ten days later than me, but umm, at least I arrived here with someone else from there, so I got most of my touch energy from him until then... Because despite how I look, I'm not completely a human either but back then I didn't know how to, or even want to, tell anyone about that nor lie to even more people about it.

Hello, Jess, welcome to Ellipsa. My name is Rumi.

[rollingwithit]

Huh, good to know if I can think up anything better then.

[Bless you, Rumi.]

Huh, I guess it makes sense to be wary about new people, since you never know how folks will react to some stuff. But you said back then, so I'm guessing it's different now?

And thanks, Rumi. A pleasure.

[totallynotsonic]

I'm lucky with my twin already being here so I've got the 'hey I need hugs so I don't turn into a statue' thing totally covered.

Also means I have an excuse to pester him on a regular basis which is a big bonus~

But hey! Big time non-human here. Name's Leonardo and I am certifiably a world-saving, butt-kicking ninja turtle!

[rollingwithit]

Huh, I would think you don't need an excuse to pester family?

[Hm, Leonardo huh? And a turtle too?]

You wouldn't happen to be related to another turtle around here called Raphael?

audio, un: GIVETHANKSTOTHEWORM

[worshipmytruename]

Are humans that common? Are your kind a scourge we have yet to hear?

In answer to your question: No I'm not human. Yes I am the Worm, chaos made flesh. I am NOT a god anymore and I am accepting it.

[rollingwithit]

They are the dominate species on Earth, yeah.

... A worm, like literal wriggly worm?

UN: Victoria Housekeeping, Voice

[wolfishlycharming]

A please to meet your acquaintance, Miss Jessenia Garcia. My name is Von Lycaon and I too am not human. I am known as a Thiren.

[rollingwithit]

[Oh no, he sounds hot.]

Ah, nice to meet ya too Von Lycaon. I have no idea what a Thiren is?

audio; un: moon_rabbit

[fistoftherabbit]

My name is Su You. [Because introductions are required.]

There were a couple of people I knew from before here. I also sparred with someone shortly after I arrived and that seems to work as well.

I'm not human either. I'm a god. May I ask what you are?

[He's really just curious and it's obvious that he is.]

[rollingwithit]

Huh, good to know that fighting also counts.

[She nods, which isn't really seen but hey!]

... huh. Oh I'm techno-organic, so part machine part human.

un: iudex

[inexorablejudgment]

I am not human, though I was born from humans.

[A long time ago, and it's complicated.]

My name is Neuvillette.

[rollingwithit]

Born from humans how, like your parents are human or a "sprang fully formed" kinda deal?

[Sorry, she's gonna ask.]

Nice to meetcha, Neuvy.
