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.)

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?

"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?

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

[...Oh. That conversation. So it really is different for her.]

Sort ov. Depends on how vell dey made hyu, doezn't it?

[windsofdaytime.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with me.

[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.

[causink-trouble.livejournal.com]

...

Hy gots no idea vot hyu looks like, hyu realize.

[so-many-moods.livejournal.com]

I hardly see what that has to do with anything.
