Far from uncommon, though. That's similar to the treatment of a great many immigrant groups throughout history, particularly those who could not be transported back to their home countries...And you were, of course, to blame for any number of social ills?

[hostage]

Oh yeah. Pretty much anything they could blame on us, they did.

[jurisimpudent]

Any illnesses, I suppose. An upswell in crime. Even poor general hygiene.

[hostage]

Yep.

[jurisimpudent]

Hmph. Detestable. How long were you there?

[hostage]

About three months.

[jurisimpudent]

Did you suffer any attacks, et cetera?

[hostage]

Me? Nah, I moved outta the Newcomer ghetto real fast, got myself a couple fake I.D.s and blended in easy. Most people could swear I was a native.

[jurisimpudent]

And I suppose your...unusual ability assisted in that?

[hostage]

Actually, that was the tough part. Everybody had a superpower except real new Newcomers, so locals would start off a conversation like, "So what's your power?" And I didn't wanna go telling 'em what it really was, so I had to bullshit stuff, like, "Oh, yeah, my superpower's getting a girl off in thirty seconds."

[jurisimpudent]

[A slight frown - ]

Off of what?

[hostage]

...Really?

Making a girl orgasm.

Jesus Christ, I have got to do something about you, Edge.

[jurisimpudent]

I - wh...th...Uh -

Let's - let us move...on.

[hostage]

Yeah, we'll take care of that later. Definitely gotta find you some space pussy to take the edge off.

- Aw snap, I didn't even do that on purpose.

[jurisimpudent]

I...appreciate your, er...No, thank you. That's unnecessary, though your good intentions are, erm. Regardless. Moving along.

[hostage]

It's just pussy, yo. Nothing to be afraid of. I'll hook you up.

[jurisimpudent]

I, er...abstain.

[hostage]

What, like a priest?

[jurisimpudent]

Er - yes. Like a priest.

[hostage]

Why?

[jurisimpudent]

Because...that sort of thing is a...distraction that I do not need. It reduces my effectiveness.

[hostage]

Uh, no? Other way around, yo. You don't get your nut off, it'll drive you crazy.

[jurisimpudent]

Hardly. All one needs is self-discipline to ignore such matters. Romancing a potential partner, however, takes time, energy, and material resources.

[hostage]

Oh my god, you like really need help with this.

What's your type?

[jurisimpudent]

I...I abstain, Pinkman. What is ambiguous about that?
