♘ The Eleventh Move.

Jan 27, 2009 15:39

[Scampering noises are being recorded as RedSquirrel!Emil climbs up his desk. Some chitters and he begins to rub his face, scratch behind the ears, and smooth out his tail. As always, his voice-now high-pitched-is being recorded by the journal nearby.]

I wonder how long do temporary losses usually last...

Being a squirrel isn't too bad though I ( Read more... )

.....

You're a squirrel?

eightpacts January 27 2009, 21:23:38 UTC

Y-yes, I am.

chewingcud January 27 2009, 21:30:41 UTC

[Measured pause]

Are you usually a squirrel?

eightpacts January 27 2009, 21:33:12 UTC

[He also pauses.] ...no...why do you ask?

chewingcud January 27 2009, 21:39:39 UTC

[Well, damn]

Just wondering.

eightpacts January 27 2009, 21:42:02 UTC

Oh. [And now he's curious.] Are...you usually a squirrel?

chewingcud January 27 2009, 21:56:46 UTC

No, I'm usually a human. [Who on occasion turns into a cow, but that bit can be left out]

eightpacts January 27 2009, 22:01:48 UTC

[The "usually" makes him wonder, but he won't dig any further.

He laughs-or whatever can be equivilant of a squirrel laughing.]

My name's Emil.

[Ninja cow pretends that slip never happened]

A pleasure to meet you, I'm Hatsuharu ...Haru.

eightpacts January 27 2009, 22:14:02 UTC

It's nice to meet you too, Haru!

[a pause] Are you a new resident?

chewingcud January 27 2009, 22:32:46 UTC

Yes. I arrived here yesterday.

eightpacts January 27 2009, 22:37:17 UTC

Welcome then! Then again, maybe I shouldn't say that.

chewingcud January 27 2009, 22:43:52 UTC

Thank you.

Um....why not? Nothing bad seems to have happened yet.

eightpacts January 27 2009, 22:48:13 UTC

...I guess. I mean, personally I agree with you. Nothing bad's happened to me yet. [He doesn't consider being turned into a squirrel a bad thing.]

But for half of the other residents...reflecting over their history and the losses...
It's sad sometimes.

chewingcud January 27 2009, 23:09:27 UTC

Ah..... I suppose it would be.

[A long pause as he mulls this over, gets distracted by something, then returns to mulling]

The loss of a memory must be difficult, it's like taking that event or person right out of your life. Like a piece of a jigsaw going missing. You can't complete the picture without it.

eightpacts January 27 2009, 23:13:42 UTC

Yeah...I don't know my permanent loss though, but I've heard that some of the older residents still haven't figured out their loss yet. If mine is a memory though...I feel completely normal. Nothing feels like it's missing.

The temporary losses can also hurt you. Physically or mentally.
