Mikaela. I. We.

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

Please.

.......

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.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...And that is?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Offer you a position as a member of Celestial Being.

[1/3]

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Tieria, I--

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

What, really?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Why not? At this juncture, you know more than most of them already.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Wow, do I really?

So I'd get to...come back? And stay in, like, space with you?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Celestial Being keeps a vast amount of secrets, even from its own personnel.

Yes, you'd have a position here, at Lagrange-3. I'd do my best to make it how it was, if you want.

With. Noticeable exceptions, of course. Such as your own quarters. That sort of thing. You know what I mean.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...Heh. Yeah, I don't think, um, Sam would be too happy with me if it was exactly how it was.

I don't...I don't know, Tieria. I mean, I really liked being there. I liked getting to see you every day, and I...I liked feeling like I was really doing something, y'know? Like I wasn't just pissing around in some dinky garage waiting for--

Mm. But. I dunno. I mean, moving to a whole other world? Like, for real?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

It's not too difficult to get used to. And you'd be allowed to visit home.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

...I won't lie. It's really tempting.
