PEACE WEEKEND

[airlockedmods]

[It's your first week here, and you've been offered a fantastic prize for killing someone: an all-expense paid vacation! It's a pretty standard prize as far as reality game shows go.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), this isn't exactly a game show.

It seems that no one has died this weekend, and the deadline for the prize is now expired. There's no announcement from the Overseers to that effect; in fact, none of you have seen either of them since Tuesday. Maybe they'll make a reappearance soon, but for now, it seems that you've got a moment of peace.

Hopefully nothing happens to it.]

I can imagine...so it all happened suddenly? It seems that way, if things are being rushed as you say. It makes me wonder if either side was given the proper time to prepare...

Noooot really! On the human side at least. Just one day it was announced that "Hey, all that shit ya thought was fake movie stuff, yeah they're real. Now get along and play nice. K thanks, bye!" and the law was plopped inta place with full news coverage and everything. Now lotsa liminal species are movin' inta society via homestays and shit.

[Zombina rolls her eyes.]

Stuff's... kinda settled down by now, I guess? But a lotta liminal species can still get... looked at and harassed.

[......]

Especially the more inhuman ones that aren't as cute and cuddly as like a catgirl or somethin'. The Interspecies Exchange Bill has a lotta bugs and loopholes too, so there's still a lot ta be done.

Mmm...

[That sounds like it sucks, honestly.]

I know saying that I hope that sorts itself out soon is a bit of a moot point, considering that there is no choice but for both monsters and humans to adapt, but...the sentiment is still the same.

[theworldsliveliestcorpse]

The sentiments still appreciated, so... thanks.

[It means a lot. Zombina shrugs.]

I've gotta pretty unique perspective on the whole thing as an zombie. So I get both sides. But nine times outta ten I gotta side with liminal species. Most who come ta the country via homestay programs just wanna live their lives and do normal people things. Not all of 'em of course. M.O.N. wouldn't be needed if all liminal species were law abidin' citizens.

[No reason to harass them.]

Still, i'm hopeful. A lotta changes have been made in three years, so it's not too hard for even the most different liminal species ta live in human society. Ain't much we can do 'bout people's attitudes towards each other besides wait.
