H-Hello, everyone.

[A young lady with white horns poking through her bright pink hair appears to be sitting in her Level 2 apartment, with a galaxy backdrop. She fidgets in her seat.]

My name is Nyuu, but some of you may know me as Lucy. If I'm acting different, I can explain, um... [She wrings her hands around in her lap.] There's really no other way for me to say this without making it more confusing, but I have a split personality. The one called Lucy is asleep right now.

[As her eyes become downcast, she takes a deep breath.]

This is something I only learned about a year ago, and I'm still trying to figure things out, but I wanted to warn everyone about Lucy. I've heard in the past that she's... [the lump in her throat goes down] She's killed people before.

[A sad sigh as she sags in her seat.]

I swear I have no control over it, but I'll understand if any of you see me as a dangerous liability after this. That's all I had to say.

It’s pretty common to be able to control one of the four elements where I’m from, actually. I can control water, but others might be able to control fire, earth, or air.

Obviously there are also those who can’t, but it takes all types, doesn’t it?

[scarredhorns]

Wait, the four elements--water, fire, earth, and air... People could control those in your world?

[Of course in Nyuu's world, there's more than that, but she's heard how those four were the big ones during ancient times.]

That's remarkable. [It's said breathlessly.] But I agree. It takes all kinds of different people to make up a world. I just wish more people in my own could see it that way.

[She lets out a small sigh, bringing her hands up to gently touch her horns.]

Back home, I had to cover my horns if I went out in public, but there was a time when a woman happened to see them by accident. She screamed in terror.

Well, even though people who have those abilities are common enough that you're likely to know at least one person who can bend an element, especially where I live, you still have people who fear and demonize us for our abilities. So unfortunately, that doesn't always change even if it's common...

[fuckin' Equalists, man.]

I'd imagine it's a little easier for you here, though, since things like horns and animal ears and whatnot seem fairly common among the Prismals. It's not really something that you'd see in my world outside of maybe people who'd had particularly rough encounters with spirits, but at the same time, I don't really feel like there's a reason to take issue with you for them.
