Ten Things to Ten People

[An anonymous post appears on the Folkmore network:]

Welcome to Folkmore's Ten Things to Ten People meme!

Sometimes we all have trouble saying things we really want to say to people, or feel like there are reasons we shouldn't. But getting it off your chest can be good.

- Pick ten people (or however many you want, I'm not your boss) to write brief messages to them specifically. Negative or Positive. Post them, anon, or you're really brave, attached to a screen name.
- Do not say who they are meant for.
- Everyone is free to respond, or even guess for whom the message is intended.


[[OOC: This meme is IC. Ten messages not required, that's just the traditional meme name. And, as always, memes can be game canon, if you decide you them want it to be!]]

If that person was here, I would tell them that.

[ That’s a lie. But she knew most people didn’t believe she was capable of lying. ]

If others are in pain, or would be rejected - why admit it at all? Why let other people hurt them again?

Because sometimes our fears are wrong. At least, based on a misunderstanding, or incomplete. Sometimes pain can bring people together, as much as it drives them apart.

[pianola]

It can be easy to misunderstand other people.

Especially when people do not have the same types of hearts, or minds.

Are you human?

I am, or mostly, I think. There's lots of kind of sentient beings, where I'm from, some of them can make kids together. Plenty of non-human, in my adopted family.

But there's degrees of differences, culturally and biologically, yeah. Other bases for existence.

[pianola]

I see. That is different from where I am from. But not strange in this place.

Do you have inorganic sentient beings in your reality?

[ezra_of_lothal]

We do. My galaxy often does not treat them well, or even care to recognize their sentience. Admittedly, there are many different kinds and levels of intelligence, in droids.

So. While admitting I probably have biases, some I may not even realize, I can also say I count an inorganic sentient being as family, too. Chopper. He's older than me.

[pianola]

Someone took good care of him. We can wear down and age, too. Humans can forget that.

There are many different robots and androids where I am from, too. Most people don’t recognize they can be people. We are seen as tools at best.

[Ah screw it, time to de-anon.]

Hera, my foster mother. All they really had was each other, for a while, I think. She's here in Folkmore, if you'd like to meet her. Chopper is not.

I'm sorry to hear that. Am I correct in inferring that you are an inorganic being?

[pianola]

Maybe I will. It is a shame Chopper is not here. I would have liked to meet him.

I am an android. I find the term “droid” a little strange. But some realities do not have androids or sentient organic beings at all. I have learned to ask.

[ezra_of_lothal]

I don't know why that's the term used back home. Android, not droid, got it.

I'm Ezra, by the way.

[pianola]

My name is R. Dorothy Waynewright.

Just “Dorothy” is fine. It is nice to meet you, Erza.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Pleased to meet you, too, Dorothy.

[pianola]

Thank you for taking the time to explain your point of view.
