Mikaela. I. We.

We have a lot to discuss. I know you probably don't want to speak to me, but...

Please.

I honestly would have though it would be somewhat obvious. Next you'll tell me that you really think I'm eighteen.

What. You're not?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...







Look, the point is, it's over now, nothing serious happened, everything is fine. There's other things to talk about.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Actually, can we keep talking about this? I'm still kind of a little bit weirded out over here.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

What do you want me to say?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

The truth, I guess. Unless I, like, don't have high-level enough security access, or whatever.

How old are you, if you're not 18?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Security access is a moot point now, I think. After all, due to our... closeness in this virus, you can probably guess most of my secrets now.

The honest truth to that question is that I do not know.

How old do you think this (http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1783/oldt.png) picture is?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. I...probably could, huh?

You don't--?

...Um. I dunno, fifteen or sixteen?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

So, you're essentially saying you think that picture is about two years old?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Try ten.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

.......

Wow.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

As far as I can tell, I was "born" something like sixteen years ago. But even then, I looked as I do now. I could speak, read, write, even form complex arguments. I could pilot. I knew who I was, and what I was supposed to do.

What I'm trying to say is, although I have only been alive for sixteen years, that isn't really any indication of my age.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

That's... I mean, I guess I knew you weren't-- But that doesn't mean I--

I don't--

.....

Do you...do you know what you are?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...no, I don't.

I thought that Nena and Michael might have been the same as me, but... they age, and I do not. I am the only one of my kind in all the worlds. Whatever that kind is.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...

I'm sorry, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Why?

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

'Cause you're the only one, and you don't even know what you are...

I'd be lonely, probably.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It's not that lonely. I mean. I have people like you.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, I guess that's true.

'M always gonna be here for you, Tieria.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

...you know, I think we've gotten ourselves off track. We need to talk about the fact that you were at Lagrange-3.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...Oh. Yeah.

Um.

That's probably bad, huh?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

To be somewhat blunt, yes. It is.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

So...

What do we do?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Well, there's only one thing I can really do.
