"Ah, so you are showing your true colors then? We are not worthy of your help, because we are so small, huh? That what you saying?"
"No. I'm saying that there are differences between our species. And would it kill you to not always focus on the one thing I say that can be twisted to be me being a horrible person?"

"Or, you could ask someone to bring you to the Dinner of the Gods. There are bound to be some sympathetic entities, if not gods."
"Hello? Are the two of you listening?"
"Yes. Cyrielle already offered to bring me."

"It should be better than becoming humanities pets."
"Would it kill you to listen to what I say and not what the horrible me you have made up would say?"

"I find such a solution degrading. Coming to mankind as beggars, wiggling our tails around "oh we are cute and so helpless, please don't eat us". That doesn't help us spread around the world as equals, it would only encourage the pet-market. And that is dangerous. Living a life as some sort of exotic, rare novelty pet will put a monetary value on our lives. Eventually we will be captured and sold to rich spoiled children, and for the rest of our lives we are nothing but entertainment, while being forced to survive of a mixture of gelatine and connective tissue that is so worthless as food that it would kill us if they didn't add in artificial vitamins."
"Well, bluntly put, you're not equals. You're a miniscule fraction of our size and of our population. Besides, if we're so eevul for damaging the environment, shouldn't you be willing to be spokespeople for fixing the evil?"

"Hey Will, how does "All sentients are created equal' sound?"
"That should go without saying."

"You know, something we can point to and say 'This is destroying the environment the Fingerlings'--is that the name you gave yourself or one people here just started calling you? No one's going to take the Fingerlings seriously, especially since you're a lot bigger than fingers. 'Environment the Fingerlings need to survive. And think what else could be destroyed.' Maybe fit in some shots of oil-covered mermaids or something."

8210
Now we wait for Emp?

"And as people realize what they're destroying, things are changing. A hundred years ago, there were no national parks. Fifty years ago, people weren't tracking endangered species. New laws protecting the environment, more consumer awareness programs, non-profit organizations like the Forest and Marine Stewardship Councils...the future is looking up for the environment. And people would care even more if they knew about your kind. Say, speaking of which, is that enclave in a forest being logged or something else...photogenic like that?"

8212
Oh. He went straight to the Savory.
...
I guess Cyrielle is going to spend the party one guest short, handcuffed to Luna, and carrying around a spare suit.

"Your scientists have estimated that between 1 to 4 billion species have gone extinct due to human lifestyle."
"Source it or you're a filthy liar."

Quote
"And you are well on the way to increase that number, poisoning water and air and destroying natural habitats. The activists that try to prevent that are mostly just a vocal minority, that are smilled at, but ultimately ignored if it is too inconvenient. This speakes volumes on how humans see themselves in the machinations of the world. They are not inhabitants, they are owners, and they shape the world to their whim. When accused, they will usualy argue that it is a bad thing, but they will return to their bed at night and sleep soundly, without a worry in the world."[/size]
"I would like to point out two things about this view. One: Some of the species that went extinct include the short-tailed hopping mouse, long-tailed hopping mouse, big-eared hopping mouse, and Darwin's Down hopping mouse. There are still mice hopping around, just ones of average tail size and not on Darwin's Down. Two: There are two groups wanting to prevent it: The vocal minority and the powerless majority. And this isn't exactly a parallel case. In fact, the presence of your species would galvanize the environmental movement. Makes you wonder how many species could have been saved if you had made people realize they were killing more than long-tailed hopping mice..."

Also, Cyrielle & co are trying to go so they can pick up Will and head to the party. And also lend him a suit and get him cuffed to Luna.

"We can learn it. But that's besides the point, france was just an example of millions. What matters is the fundamental problem that comes with the difference in strength. It leads to an ingrained attitude that is too widespread in humanity. "It's alright, they are small". As long as that attitude is not changed, we can not live a life of dignity among humans. Leave out all the actually dangerous crime, just look at how I am treated here. I am constantly being picked up, carried around cuddled and what not else, and it occured to none that I might not want this. They see me as some cute sort of pet or something, and handle me alongside their whims. Their whims are not negative in nature, but their whims nevertheless. I am putting up little resistance, because I need allies. But most of my people would not resist out of the sheer terror that comes along when something twenty times your size suddenly starts handling you around as they please, with hands so much stronger than themselves. They freeze up in terror, and will lead a live without dignity. They will accept dangerous at whatever pay their boss offers them, because it can be a sheer hopeless task to try and stand up to someone who sees you as nothing as a rodent that he can send into the machinery for almost no cost. We must not become second-class people that just barely stand above pets. We can't just do as suprised humans have done in the past and begin an uprising, or wage war to claim our own land and nation. The sentiment against the black people has not even fully gone yet, and they are more than capable off fighting for themselves, and more importantly, are decidedly human. We are decidedly not human. If we rise up and are perceived as a threat, the underlying attitude of humanity, that we are just rodents of no value, will leave us no chance of being victorious"

((edit for Twi: They are not fighting. This might be the calmest and most cause orientated discussion they had so far))
"Do you have any evidence for this attitude, aside from 'This guy got drunk and broke stuff' or 'These people started criticizing how we were killing every giant who stumbled across our invisible enclave'? And seriously, what do you think people will be trying to kill you for? You're too small and, well, human-like to kill for sport; you'renot valuable dead in any way; and once people learned about you, it would be hideously illegal. And trust me, showing up as a threat is the last thing you want to do. Last time a threat came up against this Western world...well, it kinda collapsed under its own economic issues, but the time before that the threat was pretty well destroyed. And they had way more than 400,000 people."

((in short, they'll just continue as they are now, killing those who venture too close into the haunted mountains :P))
((Not if Will can relocate and integrate them!))

8217
It's called Bloodshape, and they come for free with the purchase of the gun.
Seriously, do you want us to have to worry about ammunition and weapon damage?

8218
Sounds like a plan, once other people get organized. You know, monkey guy who sleepless brain can't remember, etc.

a. "It would greatly cut down on the number of people entering, and frankly anyone ignoring those signs can count as natural selection. Black humor, don't take it seriously. It's an elementary measure that would eliminate almost all the big-folk-caused damage, why haven't you implemented it?"

b. "Notice that there is actually very little crime compared to the number of people. Rates of all kinds of crime are dropping constantly, or at least averaged out over the years. Moreover, the greatest proof is that most people get by without encountering crime in real life so much as once. Wouldn't that be far, far superior to having annual attacks by the 'giants' who accidentally stumble on your enclave."

c. "I'm sure. Anyways, the biggest aids in choosing to abuse children or pets over you will be distance and the fact that neither has so much as a chance in ending in incineration, or even needle-pricks."

d. "Alright, I'll see if I can find somewhere in France. Wait a sec, my bad. Distracted. Once we get you somewhere democratic, the whole integration process would be much easier...do any of your people speak French?"

STEP ON COMBINING PLATES
FIRE BLOOD SHOTGUN CONTINOUSLY, SPRAYING BULLETS EVERYWHERE

Hold on a minute... Where does the shotgun get said bullets from? Ciro doesn't have any bullets in her inventory, so she probably bloodshapes bullets to shoot everytime she uses shotgun. I think It might not be a good idea to shoot bullets made out of her blood too many times, since it can lead to a big blood loss, and, as a result, a big loss of hp.
It's never happened before, not with this or previous bloodarms. Why would it happen now?

And wouldn't the bloodshaping fail on this level?
