You probably guessed
it's an insult. they're
saying that we're
not of natural origin,
or if you want the
short, nasty version,
That we're "unnatural."
They call these the
synth slums. I'm
sure that made
more sense back
when synthetic
products were
still easy to find.
Freaks.
Synths, like me,
are half breeds,
or quarter
breeds, or
whatever. We're
what happens
when humans
and..."other"
are indiscreet
enough to
have children,
and gauche
enough to
imbue those
children with
powers.
Each slum is
color coded,
each half breed
required to
wear their
slum's color
at all times.
we're green.
obviously.
It's not much
of a life, in
the cities. I
hear it's
different in
other places,
but don't
they always
say that?
To get out, you
earn your
papers. Papers
cost money,
and jobs are
slim for synths.
we all do what
we can to get by.
dingle's
Me, I'm a finder.
as magics go, it's
a small talent,
but a useful one.
And I'm about to
meet a client.
