[The last event left Cheyenne in a weird place and since then, she's been rather scarce around the village. Aside from getting food at one of the village restaurants, she's spent most of her time either in her apartment or in the forests just outside the village. Today, she's actually back to her usual spot: sitting on the edge of one of Luceti's many bridges, looking down at the water.]

[A few hours of this goes by until she finally opens her journal and poses a question to the residents. The very thing that's been on her mind all this time.]

It is not uncommon for others to ask questions using these journals, yes? [A pause. She wasn't really expecting an answer to that.]


...what do you think it means to be a "person"?

[A timid squeak comes over the journal.]

A-a person is someone with hopes and dreams, feelings, a heart and spirit. I-it doesn't matter what they look like on the outside; what species they are. Anyone or anything that can think enough to have hope deserves to be called a person.

[illusional]

By that definition, then, a creature incapable of feeling hope would not be considered a person?

[voice.]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

I...don't know. It's not my place to decide who isn't a person...

[voice.]

[illusional]

I wonder whose place it could be, to decide such a thing. If a creature could be considered a person by one and a monster by another, which would be correct, I wonder.

[There's a long pause]

It...it depends on why...they're called a monster.

[voice.]

[illusional]

I have been told there are many ways to interpret the definition of what is a monster. It seems that is a similar case for what is a person.
