Voice Post

I probably should have done this earlier, but hi I'm Claire. I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone.

I've met a few people so far, but not a lot. So if you want to say hey, and tell me a little about yourselves. Maybe we can all learn about each other.

[Claire's a bit nervous about all of this, and it is pretty obvious in her voice, but she's trying to be confident.]

I'm from Texas and I used to be a cheerleader. I was going to college before I got here, but I kinda...missed a lot.

[Now she sounds a bit sheepish and disappointed.]

I had a lot going on.

Sorry, didn't mean to pry.

[Seems she didn't want to talk about it.]

No, you're fine! It's just kind of a long story. I got mixed in with this Carnival...

I want to go back.

Is there a college here?

You became a carnie?

[Is that what americans call them? But--]

I don't know; I just arrived. Don't know if the credits would transfer back to your home, anyways.

Sort of. I didn't stay long. There were people like me...and I hoped, well I hoped I'd fit in there.

[But she hadn't, not really.]

I've found that sometimes the people who are like you on the surface don't...mesh well, always.

You end up wanting different things.

[The second rising, not wanting to start a war with humans. You know. Differences.]

Oh yeah, you don't have to tell me that.

[Samuel Sullivan just proved it for all of them to see prior to Claire's arrival here. Still, she hopes people can accept evos.]

Oh, then what should I tell you?

I just mean...well this guy wanted all sorts of people like me there because it made him more powerful. He was a bad guy.

I can understand that. What I am--

--there is someone who is trying to use my kind for his own ends, too. I don't know if it is for power, or whatever, but it's all just religious nonsense.
