[Video] Track 07

[The video boots up to show Miko sitting relaxed on a berth.]

Hey, I thought about this, and I think it's only fair that I get the chance to explain to the people who are expected to vote about keeping me on the committee or not about me and why I applied.

For those that don't know I'm Miko. On my Earth I was living in America as an exchange student. What this means for those who don't know about it is I don't come from America, one of the countries on my Earth, I come from Japan, I was staying in America to learn about a different country and way of living. To get over there I had to do a lot of paperwork and learn a lot of things about why I had to do some stuff and couldn't do other things.

My parents wanted me to go to a different town than I went to so I had to do most of the stuff myself, no help from my family and only a little help from the office people where I had to turn in my information.

[She sits up a bit, looking a little more respectable.]

I may not be an adult my human standards, and I may have a lot of growing left to do, but that doesn't mean I'm not worth hearing just because I'm not there yet. I shouldn't have any less of a voice here than any one else, regardless of my age.

Honestly humans never stop growing, even adults are learning and changing, improving all of the time. I know I'm not an adult, and I know I may have crazy ideas or say things that aren't always smart, but I'm willing to admit it when it happens. I don't think I'm a grown up for being on the committee, I just think I'm getting the chance to help the place I'm living in.

There are probably some who won't think any different about me even with this, and there may be some who do, I can't make anyone do anything, but I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that while I may not be an adult yet, I can still do powerful things.

Look, just because my parents are willing to let me live my life even if they would rather I do something different doesn't mean they don't care. If you've never meet someone who could trust you enough to let you make your own decisions I'm almost feel sorry for you, almost. But my parents do, so stop trying to convince me otherwise.

♥♥♥ And sudently this conversation became a serious thing P:

[deadlydoctor]

My kind doesn't have parents but there was a time where we had a caste system. Among other things, the war started because some of us decided to make our own decisions.

See how well that ended.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I said someone, not parents. I don't know the specifics there so I wasn't going to make assumptions.

Things don't always have to end violently just because people disagree, at least that is how I have learned it.

[deadlydoctor]

That proves how little you know about people's true nature. Violence is an intrinsic trait common to all sentient beings.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Humans are violent too, we aren't immune to that, but that doesn't mean we can't be bigger than our natures and resolve things without violence at times.

[deadlydoctor]

I learned about your story when I was on Earth, you know. You are involved in more wars than I can count.

Your idealistic delusions are cute, but I sincerely doubt that those would work.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Actually I haven't been involved in all that many wars. Now if you mean humans, yeah, as a race we have been in a lot of wars, but there have also been a lot of situations resolved without violence too.

I prefer not to give up until after I've tried, besides, here is different from home, a lot less humans, a lot less people, it's easier to see people for who they really are when we are all staying so close like this.

[deadlydoctor]

I meant your species as a whole.

All that much idealism is cute, but useless.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Look, you can say what you want, but I am choosing not to give up. I don't quit just because something looks tough or messy, so thank you for your input, but I'm still going to do what I can to stay on the committee.

[deadlydoctor]

We will see what happens once everyone votes, little pest.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

Sounds like it.
