strangetrip | [GP/EP] Check-in Day

Liz was starting to get better at the whole check-in day stuff. She knew she hadn't seen 'everything' yet, but she was learning from watching Kitty and Caroline and the others how to approach distressed, confused, and even angry people. It wasn't always perfect, but she was getting better.

With the help from the bakery, there were muffins on trays in the lobby - Mary had insisted. She insisted on coming in every once in a while to restock the trays too.

Liz had helped bring another tray to the front desk and then moved to sit at one of the couches that had a view of the front doors. She had a complicated science essay for Kitty due in a week and Liz was having trouble finding the right wording to express her thoughts.

Every once in a while, Liz would look up to see if there was someone knew approaching. There could be no one today or there could be a lot. Briefly, she wondered if someone else from home would show up. A part of her was curious who that would be, but she found a larger part of herself was hoping no one else would.

"Some of them are humans... some of them are other races, like aliens and, um. elves." She knew it sounded strange. "Some of the worlds are like... there is no Earth at all. Alternate realities. Some of them are very similar to ours and other ones are completely different."

"Do the humans consider the others to be like them?" Mia was curious, but even so, she was sure if the choice was between an alien life and a synthetic one, they would choose the alien.

"You mean here?" Liz wondered what she really meant by the question. "Well... I know I do... but then I have friends back home who are aliens." So maybe that didn't count. "I'd say everyone treats each other equally here. Everyone more or less gets along or is at least civil with one another."

"I have noticed that humans sometimes are afraid of Synthetics and those that are different. I wondered if those at the Inn are the same even though they are from different times and places." Mia explained her question, not giving her true misgivings away.

"I think... I think most people here are from worlds that have strange things in them. A lot of them have powers or know people who do. So I think here... people are more comfortable with non-humans." From what Liz could tell, a thing almost everyone had in common was there was some sort of 'weird' in each person's life. It seemed like the only commonality.

Mia considered that, "synthetics are made to help humans, some in their tasks and others to do jobs that are unsafe or unwanted." Then there were some that were escorts and sex 'dollies' but that wasn't a conversation for Liz.

"Some people are comfortable with us, as you are, Liz, but there are others that are not. There are communities that are 'synthetic free'." There were more since Day Zero.

"Perhaps the Inn will be comfortable or perhaps people will wish to be synthetic free." It wasn't said with in inflection to her voice, but merely an extrapolation of experiences and conjecture of what might happen.

She frowned a little. It sounded like there might be a lot of discrimination to synthetics back home. She didn't think it was fair - if humans made them, then humans should take the responsibility to integrate the life they created. "Well... I really hope it is accepting here. I think it will be. If someone has a problem... well, I'll talk to them." Said the unassuming seventeen year old.

Mia smiled, it lacked the warmth of a true smile but it did reflect what a smile would.

"I appreciate that, Liz. You remind me much of Sophie though she is much younger than you are. She is always quick to help and defend."

"Oh, um. Thank you." She flushed, ducking her head a little, but felt good about that. "Well, I mean it."

She gestured to the front desk. "We should, um. Get you your room key and you could start settling in, if you like."

Mia turned her head to look at the front desk, "I appreciate your assistance in these matters." She didn't think they'd have a room for her since she didn't sleep, only recharged but if Liz thought they would, she would go to the front desk.

She smiled wide. "If you need anything else, just let me know, okay? I promise this place is nice." Most of the time, anyways.

Hopefully.

"I appreciate your assistance." Mia said softly, "and I look forward to exploring the inn, especially if it is a nice place."
