YEEEEAAAAH!

He's kind of like you, just a bit!

You are speakin’ my language, brother! Gotta leave the world better than you found it, y’know?! Stomp out injustice wherever it rears its ugly head. Let people just be people instead of all of this ‘us versus them’ bullshit.

I mean… obviously we live in different towns and such, New Haven doesn’t actually have delineated ‘districts’ as such, but we got the Meta Identification Act and that bull. Non-“humans” all have to carry around identification at all times like we’re living in friggin’ 1930’s Germany or something.

Your dream is beautiful. You are beautiful.

We'd be in unity! We wouldn't have to fight each other because how someone looks or because the way someone was born. People would have the chance to really let their potential show and strive our society to great success and we could achieve more! DO more!

So I'm working now so that maybe the next generation could have opportunities open for them so they can achieve something great. Better than anything we could achieve.

So that's why I say, if there's something you can do, why not do it?

And I just want people to think about that.

So, thank you!

That so.

God knows I haven’t heard that at all.

Oh.]

Kip!

You remind me of KIP!

MK: Ummm….

I know you did. You always do some good, Roy.

I showed up the police at the border of District C and B. I'm right at the front. You shouldn't miss me, seriously.

I don't know Kip. I think you'll be impressed. I know a lot of people who were.

[She’s just rapt. Wow. Her brain just kind of substitutes ‘Monster’ for ‘Meta’ because, really, kind of synonymous, but she’s just… yes. Yes. Applauds at the end there. Yes.]

Amazing. Wow! Yeah, you show them. That is actually fantastic. 

You know, the advent of the cell phone camera is a real blessing to peaceful protesters. It’s a lot harder to just beat a marcher down when your face is going on the internet immediately afterward.

But you.

YOU sir. 

Amazing. I’m in awe of you. You have a way with words, a gift of stirring passion that I haven’t seen in months. Here I’ve been afraid that people were forgetting how to move forward, how to leave a mark, but you…

My next rally?

Oh jeez. I don't know when. I just kind of take it as it comes!

Maybe I'll do something big soon! But I need to wait until it settles down for a bit.

I love stirring up passion in people! Something about seeing people with burning hearts of fury to make a change or to make something matter REALLY excites me!

I think, as a person, it's really meaningful to serve something bigger than yourself rather than just yourself. I want to make a difference. I want to leave a mark that people will look and get inspiration from.

I WANT to motivate people.

[/He sighs.]

It’s fine, Roy. It was bound to happen. But god help me, you better walk Molly home today after this nonsense.

I know you’re trying—I know media attention is important! It’s just.

With how those things get, sometimes it just makes District B’s view of us worse.

I'll definitely walk her home.

...And...uh...hey. Kip?

And you had to just stick it to the man, yeah? Everyone together, impromptu parade, Equal Rights Now!

Man. Been there.

Well. No. We didn't flip a cop car. My friend says you never really get respect from violence. We actually marched into an area we shouldn't be! Or almost did.

Otherwise we'd all be in jail.

Basically as monsters in District C, we're not allowed in District B without strict access. So I was at one of those out door speeches and I was presenting my point against how monsters and humans NEED to be treated the same because of the fact that we do EXACTLY everything that they do. That the fact we ARE functioning members of the mixed society, and District C is perfectly fine with monsters and humans living alongside each other!

We are a prime example of how it's perfectly okay! So I ended up saying that there's no reason that we shouldn't be in District B, and then someone else in the stands sat up and suggested that I had made a point. And then I said,

"Fairway has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free humans and monsters. That's why we all work and try to be functioning members of society! As a people striving to shape our actions in accordance with the great law of righteousness we can't afford to take part in or be indifferent to oppression or maltreatment of any one who, against crushing disadvantages, has their own industry, energy, self-respect, and perseverance struggled upward to a position which would entitle them to the respect of their peers, if only they were human. Every generous impulse in us revolts at the thought of thrusting down instead of helping up such an individual. But, that's the exact thing that District B does! Thrust down monsters who were even more than successful enough to be there!"

So then there was the impromptu riot that ended up picking up people on the sidelines on the streets, because everyone got so riled up! And we marched over to the border. Of course, there were cops and everything! But, everyone there was video taping so they couldn't actually harm us! I almost got arrested, but didn't. My entrance to District B was actually legal so they couldn't.

I was the first one to step forward until they started trying to push us back, and that's when I pulled out my card and then I got through and I raised it up in the air to show that they tried to put me down even if I was allowed to be there.

Well at least I’ll have something to write about, tonight. No doubt there are multiple videos up, already.

You know how those things end up a lot of the time.

But then, what's the point of doing something if the media doesn't see it, right? And that's when everyone started yelling and then--

Mmmmyeah.

[God, he felt so bad.]

Oh.

YEAH!
