The year's over. So I must be fourteen.

Hm.

(Yeaaaaaah, Kaoru doesn't know her own birthday either. She just counts her age when the year passes.)

Is living another year something to be congratulated over?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Sure iz. Lots ov pipples doezn't make it, after all.

[By the way, Jenka counts her birthdays the same way, to the extent that she counts them at all, so she's not surprised at the post. XD]

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

That's true. Lots of people die.

You've lived a long time, right?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Yah. But Hy didn't know dot Hy vosn't gun die early vhen Hy vos a keed. So de congratulations vos important.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

I'm not that worried about myself dying.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Schtill, beink alive iz nize, right?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

...Yes. I didn't really care before, but I like being alive. This world is nice. The wind moving through the clouds. Lunch boxes. Sleeping in a bed. It has things like that.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Sure doez.

Iz no point in gettink too vorried about dyink, but not dyink iz a goot ting.

Anyvun told hyu hyu'z suppozed to get cake und presents for hyu birthday yet?

No. But I don't know when I was born, so when should I get cake and presents?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Hy doezn't know eidder. Hell, Hy doezn't know exactly vot year it vos. Just make zumtink op. Hyu gots a date hyu likes?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

No. I like cake. I'll have to think about what a good day was.

Und fifty years or so after dot Hy decided birthdays iz gettink borink und schtopped havink dem.

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

You ran away from a lab? Why?

I think I remember the day I first killed someone. I'm not sure, though.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Cozz dey vos pokink me vith really large needles und it hurt. Und vos really borink de rest ov de time.

Oh? How many pipples has hyu keeled by now, keed?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

Oh. I don't care about needles.

You're supposed to count?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Vhen iz chust vun or three, iz hard to avoid countink. Been more den dot for hyu, hmm?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

True. But there's running away, and then there's leaving without permission.

Yes. Probably.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Dot so? Vot's de difference?

/threadjacks

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

"Leaving without permission" indicates you probably left one or two people alive, of course!

...How very boring that would be!

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

It's not boring. It's just what it is.

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

Counting? Really?

...I never did. Fascinating!

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Hy hazn't been after my first battle, but it ken be fon to remember de keelink better vhen it doezn't heppen very often.

Vot's hyu count, den? Any idea?

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

I suppose that depends, dear. Would one still count people one has encased in walls of solid steel?
