Save the Earth

[The newest addition to the network is an exceptionally pale and unbelievably effeminate man. No one would be blamed for mistaking him for the opposite sex, especially considering that he is wearing baggy clothes that show nothing of his figure. Not helping things is the fact he's sitting in a garden with a large bundle of flowers on his lap and that his voice is so softly spoken and unearthly calm.]

Earth is commonly estimated to be 4 and a half billion years old. Human beings, on the other hand are approximately between four million and two million years old depending on the definition of human.

[His watery amber eyes slowly glance from side to side as he speaks, eventually starting to arrange the flowers into a block of Oasis.]

Life existed long before them. Jellyfish for example, are at minimum five hundred million years old and potentially seven hundred million which makes them amongst the oldest of the still extant animals. Evidence suggests that life itself is between four and three and a half billion years old.

[Pausing to stare at a particular flower, he apparently decides it is not of quality enough to be used in the display and is set aside delicately. The task is continued with other, more suitable decorations.]

But science has discovered planets estimated as old as twelve point seven billion years old and the universe itself is considered to be approximately thirteen point eight billion years old. It is easy to see that in comparison, Earth, life on Earth and humans are not especially old. Humans believe it to be notable because it is the basis of our civilisation but it is potentially insignificant. Mankind's claim to ownership of Earth is tenuous, in itself. Disputes over land occur daily and have never not been an issue in human history. What right have they to declare it their own?

[Apparently finished with the arrangement, a small smile slips into place. It's a professional little piece made of subdued colours. Those who know their flowers will note it is made primarily made from those that symbolise strength or persistence.]

On the other hand, all life instinctively protects itself. Perhaps the concept of a 'right' does not exist in the natural world.

[Raising a hand, he waggles his fingers in a dainty 'bye bye' manner.]

A little while ago, I punched the teeth out of a werewolf. It felt quite natural.

[And with that, he swipes a finger over the glass to disrupt the connection to the network.]
