It's not exactly a luxury cruise, but living on a ship isn't turning out to be so bad.

And it helps that I don't have to worry about... what I look like, at least with you guys.

[anelegantmyth]

Well why should you? As far as I'm concerned, you're different. And that makes you pretty darn cool.

[notacostume]

Cool...?

[She seems surprised to hear that.]

Thanks, but being this way isn't really all that cool back where I'm from. Especially if I just want to go outside.

[anelegantmyth]

I could imagine, since the boys told me they had to hide out in a sewer or something. But being a mutant can't be all that bad, can it?

[notacostume]

I'm stronger now than when I was a human, and I'm actually a pretty good swimmer, too. But that's mostly it.

[anelegantmyth]

Well that's better than nothing, me thinks.

[notacostume]

It doesn't really matter how strong I get. Back on Earth, I can't go outside without people thinking I'm some kind of freak.

[anelegantmyth]

See that's what I don't get. If I saw someone like you, my first assumption would be "where's the costume party?", not "holy crap balls, aliens!" or something.

[notacostume]

Funny you should mention that. I've actually gone to a costume party looking like this. Nobody really suspected anything until I actually told them.

But take the costumes away and I'm going to have a problem.

[anelegantmyth]

Well they could also assume you're a mascot for some company? I mean, it's possible right?

[notacostume]

That's not really any better, and I don't want any of that. I just want my old life back.
