[Being in a new world is cool and all, but also sucks when everything you see is still a shade of red. Figures that the first time he's away in some new place he can't fully appreciate it, although, maybe he doesn't want to considering that stupid but truthful parchment he got referencing an incident that he's not exactly proud of.

How do they even know??

So excitement is honestly at an all time low and he's also sort of angry?? And the best thing to do when you're angry is clearly use this charm device and just say dumb shit--]

so who else is a freak here

[ And here is Mizuki, refusing to use the funky voice-to-text thing this little charm has got going on. If she's going to be speaking anyway, isn't it easier just to call? Well, she'll try, at any rate. ]

You can't see me, I guess, but I'm raising my hand.

[In all out honesty, Scott wasn't fully expecting a response, at least not one that's actually taking him seriously. So, thanks. Scott feels himself slouching in the spot he's sitting at, before deciding to switch this charm to voice. If she's going with audio function, guess he should man up and do it too.]

Yeah? Why are you weird.

[are you a mutant too.]

Er... [Oh good grief, the amulet's ability to scribe has written that down.] What do you mean by "a freak?"

text;

[laserguy]

Like people born with powers. Er, well, I guess not 'born,' but ugh...

[Luckily the amulet doesn't translate Scott thumping his head against the wall that he's sitting against. It's not like really meant to call other people freaks but he also did ask that earlier. He was just frustrated with everything!!]

You know.

[Maybe he sort of forgot that not everyone is from Earth and all that.]

[theleadingman]

[Well, he can't help but be curious as to what this is all about.]

I'm afraid you may have to be more specific about what it is you mean.

[laserguy]

[Now he can answer this maturely, but Scott just leans his face against his hand and lets the charm scribe--]

If you have to ask, you probably don't get it.

[Dang it doesn't have the same bite but whatever!!]

[sincleavers]

"Freak?" What makes you say that?

[Especially about yourself :(]

[laserguy]

[God Alphen why can't you read his mind and understand!!]

Geez, tell me when it's normal or fine when I don't destroy things just by looking at it.

[........Okay maybe he said too much there but sue him. He's just. Mad.]

[ Softly, a little halted: ]

A strange way to describe individuality.

[laserguy]

[A huff of air leaves Scott that luckily isn't caught by the charm.]

There's crap like enjoying a bad movie and then there's possibly hurting everyone around you because. Uh.

[Does he admit things could go to shit just because his glasses could slip?? No probably not.]

Of your individuality.

[A little lame but whatever.]

[nullificates]

Yes! Did you call?

text;

[laserguy]

[The hell is this reaction? The bizarreness makes the teen stare at his charm for a bit. He didn't imagine hearing that, right??]

Yeah, I totally did.

[Uhhhhhh what now]

So. Exactly how weird are you?

voice;

[finisaeternam]

Very nearly everyone.

[Not him though, he refuses to lump himself in with everyone else.]

text;

[laserguy]

[But if everyone is a freak then no one is--

Also Scott isn't fully believing him. Different standards and all that, right?]

So. I'm assuming that you're including yourself in that group. What makes you one.

That would depend on your definition of a "freak".

There are those who's physical abnormalities would make them differ from the norm, then there are the cases where one's behavior or background would mark them as an outcast.

text;

[laserguy]

No-- I don't really care about that.

[But it's not like he explained himself all that well either in the first place, right? Scott heaves a sigh, almost toying with the charm for a few seconds and letting his earlier anger simmer down just a bit.]

Mostly thinking about people with. Um. Abilities.

[Vincent is still trying to get the hang of this new-fangled charm that allows for communication. They don't have anything remotely like this back where he's from, so it's been fascinating to play around with it. Speaking into it and it transcribes the words! Creates images of the speaker! It's amazing, and he comes from a world with magic.

He's definitely going to work on making something like this after he gets back home.]

is it such a bad thing to be different?

[the word "freak" is just...harsh. A harsh that he understands all too well.]

text;

[laserguy]

Look, I'm not talking about people who enjoy crap like pineapple on pizza.

It's. Just.

[Why is he talking at all about this?? He should've just kept quiet, but then he was angry and lonely, and just... wanted to lash out at something. Someone.]

More complicated shit.

[fluorite]

[ Hmmm. All kinds of worlds have different definitions for these things, don't they? While Fai certainly does his best to be strange, he doesn't know if he would meet the definition of a freak. ]

What do you mean?

text;

[laserguy]

[Because he has to be difficult--]

Why don't you tell me what you think I mean.

Voice

[heroondecku]

[Mmmm. Mmmm. This is a question that could mean a number of things, some of which feel distressingly relatable...]

Why would you consider anyone one of those?

text;

[laserguy]

[Scott's a little surprised when it sounds like someone his age that's responding back. It distracts the mutant for a moment, but he responds soon after.]

You're in high school too, yeah? I'll just say I'm not talking about ordinary outcasts that eat at lunch tables by themselves. Really, they're normal.

[grappler]

what kinda freaks you talking?

we got magic freaks, murder freaks, long haired freaks, self-important freaks, and your generally fucked up freaks. so what kind of freaks you talking about?

text;

[laserguy]

[He didn't know there would be options... also a little alarming to hear 'murder freaks???' Like that's just being a murderer.

She didn't mention mutants though. Which, great.]

None of the above. Guess you can add a new category. Just put me as freak freak.

[galling]

from the look of things, you're just one of the flock!

come on in, grab a t-shirt

text;

[laserguy]

[Yeah, he can admit by now, he's not the only one. That being said, Scott feels himself leaning his face against an open palm as he responds back.]

wow, what i've always wanted.

i got free sunglasses when i officially became a freak so guess this fits.
