[Christopher's voice is not as strong as it usually is. And he certainly isn't smiling.] Friend, will you help me smile?

[keep_smiling]

[Well this deserves and immediate call back.] Of course! Anything for a smile. What's wrong? You don't sound well.

[inhumanity]

Mm, well, the UAA decided to punish others through me. The injuries aren't healing quickly enough.

I want you to kill me. When I'm better, I can smile again.

[keep_smiling]

Eh? Really? What happened? You really want me to do this? [Obviously this is the best time for a dozen questions]

[inhumanity]

[Quiet though it is, Christopher's voice doesn't break. It is dull, dead. The sound of submission.] I was dissected. It wasn't to learn anything about me, though, so—it isn't really dissection. But it looks, feels the same. [He has to hold onto that idea. He can't let this be like the laboratory. He doesn't want his mind to return to that Hell.]

I . . . want to be able to fight again. It won't hurt you to do this if it's for a smile, right?

[keep_smiling]

That sounds terrible. And of course I want you to smile again. You certainly can't smile under conditions like that.

But if you really want me to do it, I will. Where are you?

[inhumanity]

The 101 house. I can make it outside, so please get rid of my corpse. I don't want anyone to be upset by it. [Miles, mainly, is his concern in the house. He thinks Grell can handle it.]

[keep_smiling]

Alright. I'll be there as soon as I can! Don't worry, okay?

[inhumanity]

I never worry! See you soon, friend! [There is probably a smile there, but it's certainly faked. Still, that is what he called Elmer to fix.]

Elmer! Sorry for not informing you of the delay earlier, but the crash pushed things back a bit. However if you and your friends would still like to come along on my trip into the outlands, I'd still be happy to have you. We'll be rendezvousing at the south end of the hold market on the thirteenth and return on the fifteenth. See you then!

[keep_smiling]

Ah, afraid I'll have to pass, now, since the Initiative chose me to go back to my homeworld! We're leaving on the fourteenth. Good luck to you out there, though! If I return here, it should be with good news.

[gingerscoops]

Best of luck! I hope you get to see your home.

How are you holding up?

[keep_smiling]

I'm well! Thank you for asking. /o/ How are you??

[whatsupcroc]

Kind of concerned. You're not still in shock, are you? You really don't need to play nice if you feel a little out of it. I mean... that was your whole world, you know?

[keep_smiling]

I know. It was an unimaginable atrocity, what happened. I appreciate your concern though. I'm okay!! (｡◕‿‿◕｡)

[whatsupcroc]

( That's exactly what worries her. )

Is there anyone's name you'd like... like to put up in the memorial garden, once it's finished?

[keep_smiling]

Almost all the people I know are immortal, so technically, they'd still be alive over there.

[whatsupcroc]

Stuck in a world where everything else has died?

Elmer, do you have any friends who aren't immortal?

[keep_smiling]

Actually, it was less than a year back that I had met with my immortal friends since we first became immortal! I hadn't seen them in almost 300 years.

And of course I had friends, here and there, since I was always travelling the world.

["Friends", aka people who me met and now called friends and probably would never see again anyway.]

[whatsupcroc]

Friends you probably never talked to or saw again once you traveled out of the area. Like your friends who went missing for 300 years?

Elmer, that's really sad!

[keep_smiling]

Is it?? I don't feel sad! After all, we all knew we'd see each other again someday, right?

[whatsupcroc]

300 years is a long long someday!

[keep_smiling]

It's not as long when you have eternity =D

[whatsupcroc]

No, it's exactly as long!!!
