[this fine evening, at one of the tables in the Mess Hall, Radu is sipping absently from a glass as he reads. Said glass is filled with a dark red liquid...much thicker than wine. It rather looks like blood, and if you get close enough, it also smells like blood

[AT THE MOMENT, it's The Girl Without Hands]

[thedandymancan]

Is this one your favorite one?

[dieinnafire]

I wouldn't be able to tell you until I've read through them all. It is simply how far I've gotten in the book.

[thedandymancan]

There are a lot of good ones in that book. The one you're reading right now isn't my favorite one though.

[dieinnafire]

No? Which is your favourite, then?

[thedandymancan]

It's too tough to say. The Willful Child is amusing though.

[dieinnafire]

I suppose it is.

[thedandymancan]

It would have been more amusing if the girl had managed to crawl out completely.

[dieinnafire]

Instead of merely her arm? Johji, you are a rather morbid one.

[thedandymancan]

She's not very willful if she let's a little slap on her dead arm stop her.

[dieinnafire]

[...pfffft]

True enough.

[thedandymancan]

Then again, maybe all along the child just wanted to be punished.

[dieinnafire]

She was willful in an attempt for her mother to recognize it?

[thedandymancan]

I still wouldn't call that willful enough.

[thedandymancan]

I don't know if the mother learned her lesson though. It's her fault that her child died. The child's bad behavior was due to her bad parenting. In my version, the child drags the mother into the grave too.
