[Continued from here!]

Thought it was implied.

[abrightboy]

If it was, I didn’t infer it.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Sorry.

[abrightboy]

It’s not you, it’s me. I mean, at first I thought maybe that’s why you stepped in, but then you said something else and… I’m not always the best at reading between verbal lines about what’s up for discussion and what’s a request.

[atowncalledtreffy]

It's just people, fumbling in the dark for a match.

[abrightboy]

It is for me. I feel like other people are better at this.

[atowncalledtreffy]

I think a lot of that's down to the kind of people the Necromancer chooses. None of us are exactly normal.

[abrightboy]

What does it mean to be a misfit that’s unpalatable even to other misfits?

[atowncalledtreffy]

Just means you haven't found your people yet. Focus on the ones you're palatable with.

[abrightboy]

I have people. It’s just… when I got here, I thought this place was different. But….. it’s not.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Different how?

[abrightboy]

I thought because everyone was weird here, I’d fit in.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Ah huh.

[he can't help but smile]

The way to get along with everyone is to stop having an opinion and sharing it. You don't want to do that. I don't want you to do that. People are weirder here, but it just means that they're more...everything, good and bad.

You want to fit in, you have to sacrifice parts of yourself to fit the group.

[abrightboy]

So basically there's no such thing as a group that accepts people for all their... differences and diversity of opinions and.... unusualness.

[atowncalledtreffy]

For there to be a group, I think you have to have people in it and people outside it.

[abrightboy]

Why can’t everyone be one group together?

[atowncalledtreffy]

Because 'everyone' inevitably has to include the one fucking shithead who wants to hurt people, kill people, ruin everything, you name it.

[abrightboy]

Well, that’s when they shouldn’t be welcome in the group.

[atowncalledtreffy]

Exactly. Insiders and outsiders.
