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.)

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]

Vell, ve didn't get clouds or cake in lab, eidder.

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?

[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.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

So, vhy did hyu, heh, leave vithout permission? Und iz dey lookink for hyu?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

The ones they'd already finished and sent out weren't good enough. I thought I could do a better job myself. Besides, I wanted to see what this world was like.

No. They know where I am. Like I said, I didn't escape. I just left the facility without permission.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Dot's pretty sensible ov dem.

Hyu doink a better job yet?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Vell, chust keep tryink.

[Why no, it doesn't occur to her that maybe not trying would be a better idea. The notion of not doing what you're made for isn't very familiar to her.]

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

...right. It's the only thing I exist for, after all. This is like when we talked about "fate", isn't it?

[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?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

... [Okay, briefly fazed. Now there's an interesting death method.]

Count half ov dem, dey could haff gotten out.

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

And the ones I turned into stone? ...I believe they're still on display in my gallery in Melior.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Nah, hyu ken haff a full vun for dose. Dot's pretty definitely dead.

Entertainink, too! Hy might haff to look for dot gallery sometime.

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

Why thank you, dear! I do try!

Be sure to enjoy my self-portraits. I'm very fond of them, and in many ways they're my best pieces.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

Hokay!

...How doez Hy tell vhich vuns dose are?

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm quite sure you'll know.
