♫ 23rd Aria

I lived a short life. Dormant for nearly 30 years in my host's body. Finally she was weakened enough to where I could take over.. December 24th, 1996

All this talk of mitochondria and hosts...what are you? We may not be so different in some ways, and that, to me, is unheard of.

[first_mommy]

Some would call me.. a parasite.

[beast_unbound]

You look much like a human. Or is that just your host?

[first_mommy]

It is my host. I do not have a true physical form.

[beast_unbound]

Hmm? I would have expected a microbe. In the end, that's just what I am, although I don't go the parasite route.

*fails at science*

[first_mommy]

You are correct. I apologize if my wording confused you.

You have gotten me curious though... Is the body you inhabit originally your own?

'sok! I get what you meant now.

[beast_unbound]

Ah, I see. Yes, and no. The cells I have are mostly mine, but then I have taken much of my neural net from humans.

It is most intriguing, to meet you.

XD okay.

[first_mommy]

How interesting. I would have never thought to meet someone like myself in the City, aside from my sisters.

[beast_unbound]

There are others like you here?

Is your host still mentally present? Do you have some bargain -- how is the dynamic?

[first_mommy]

At a time, but they have returned to my world.

My host is both mentally and physically dead since my arrive. Before, it was only mental. I had taken over her conscience.

[beast_unbound]

Interesting. So you have a body to work with, without the resistance of a mind. Were I human, I'd be envious.

[first_mommy]

If her immune system had not been as weak as it was, I would not have been able to take full control.

[beast_unbound]

What do you want, here in the City?

[first_mommy]

I am still unsure at the moment.
