[Scar's been lying low in Olivine ever since the hurricane, and he's starting to go a little stir-crazy. Being left bored with his thoughts can only end in one thing. Anon questions.]

In my time here, I have come to find that there are a great many "worlds" that are home to people who wouldn't be considered human, but experience the same depth of thought and range of emotion.

[Even he can make that conclusion, now.]

In that case, what is humanity? A measure of physical traits? A state of mind? Something into which one must be born?

There is a surprising number of them, trapped here.

What sorts of things have you met, so far?

Revealing that could very well reveal my identity, and I have no wish to lie.

All right, fair enough.

I'll tell you what I've met, though.

Ponies, birds, resurrected dead people, and giant space robots, to name a few.
