Two Memories

[memoryofmyself]

Hey, how many kids are in this town?

Comments

[ra_ra_razputin]

I'm eleven. Eleven and a half. I don't see why being a kid makes any difference though...

[memoryofmyself]

There are probably a lot of worried parents at home is all.

[ra_ra_razputin]

O-oh. Oh yeah, there probably are.

I haven't seen mine in a year.

[memoryofmyself]

Really?

[noneed_2worry]

Um, I'm friends with a few...

[memoryofmyself]

How many?

[noneed_2worry]

Um... about a half dozen, I guess?

[memoryofmyself]

[ ...why are the answer he's getting so varying. ]

Only a half dozen?

[10_year_old_kid]

... I'm under 14?

[memoryofmyself]

Do you know any others?

[10_year_old_kid]

There's my friend Dawn? Other than that, I'm not sure though.

[memoryofmyself]

Okay, thanks.

Who are you?

[kindlichekaiser]

Well, I'm not really a child, but I am the Childlike Empress. I suppose I count?

[memoryofmyself]

An empress?

[kindlichekaiser]

Yes, that's right. [She smiles a little] But here I'm really no better than anyone else.

[memoryofmyself]

Not many people would admit that.

[angelic_meister]

There's probably a lot, but I doubt anyone has come up with an actual number.

[memoryofmyself]

They should try.

[angelic_meister]

That's...probably a good idea, actually. Having a head count would be nice. Although...it'd be hard to keep accurate with people always coming and going...

[memoryofmyself]

It might reveal a pattern.
