My, aren't you creepy an interesting girl. I can tell you're not really human, but then, what exactly are you?

I'm a bit divided between Slytherin and Bitchiwitch, frankly. And for once in my life, I shall pass on the chocolates. I wouldn't want to get a blood-filled one by accident.

[missprimavera]

What am I? *smiles sweetly* That's a question for the ages.

Iggy says a doll is a thing of surface and plane. Mosquito says dolls aren't women, they're man's dream of women. Dr. Spalanzani .. who tried to fix me ... said (before he died) that in dolls, living tissue has been replaced by polymers, resins, metals; that our entire body chemistry has been reorganized at the atomic level.

And Dr. Toxicophilous, who made us, says that we embody Europe's death wish.

What do you think I am?

vote: Slytherin

[conriocht]

But did you used to be human? Is that it? And the process of turning into a... "doll" - was that voluntary on your part? *is intrigued*

I think you're a Slytherin. You're too interesting to be a Bitchiwitch.

Re: vote: Slytherin

[missprimavera]

I was born human, yes. Sort of. To become a doll, one's father has to have been infected, which means the virus was always there, waiting to kick in... The metamorphosis began when I was twelve. It usually begins around then, for most girls who become dolls.

It wasn't voluntary. It never is. No girl wants to become a doll.

Thank you for the vote. Most people here seem to think I belong in Slytherin. Though I can be bitchy.

Gryffindor

Your makeup is totally bitchin'. You get major style and Gryffindor points.

And I like your hair, human girl. Maybe sometime we can play Beauty Parlor.

Re: Gryffindor

[roxyspaulding]

Nifty. You'd look really good with blue hair, you know.

Re: Gryffindor

[missprimavera]

I might like to try that. Usually I just bleach my hair. It used to be blonde before .. well, you know. The metamorphosis.

[perpetual_smile]

Chocolate? Don't mind if I do. You wouldn't mind if I took more than one? I'll just save them for later~.

[missprimavera]

Well ... not too many, but all right, you can have his share. *pointing to Lupin*

Vote: Slytherin

[perpetual_smile]

Why thank you! I do think I'll have to side with the others though in saying that you might be best in Slytherin... unless you have a preference?

Re: Vote: Slytherin

[missprimavera]

I don't have anything against Slytherin. Why, do you?

[dna4life]

What is with all you crazy people.

Though I must...ask... If uh, Iggy's DNA isn't what is used to be, what is it?

[missprimavera]

*wide grin* Same as any doll-junkie's. Nanobots, from me, have changed his chromosomes. When he reproduces with a human, their daughters will be my daughters.

That's how it works. That's Meta.

[dna4life]

*blinks*

Whoa, ok nanobots? What are those all about...

Changing the chromosomes... to what?

And what's a meta?

[missprimavera]

Meta is that which is changing the universe. My universe, that is. Not this one which is why I chose here to hide.

As for the rest, I can only tell you what I've already told you. I'm a fifteen-year-old contract killer, not a scientist, and anyway they pull us out of school when the metamorphosis sets in far enough. They don't want us around.

[sada_chan]

Oh, I like you. Hufflepuff.

[missprimavera]

*a smile -- letting Sadako see her fangs* I'm glad someone here likes me. Your hair is as black as Titania's. If you let me, I'd brush it. We could play Beauty Parlor.

You might like playing Beauty Parlor.

[sada_chan]

*peeks out from behind thick curtain of hair*

Beauty Parlor? No-one's brushed my hair in such very, very long time.

[missprimavera]

I could brush it, and you could wear the reddest lipstick, and we could tell stories. *smile gleams* And then you could brush mine, and tell me a story.
