... its on.

Wh-huh? Oh! U-um... I-I have no idea what to say...

I already told you. Introduce yourself.

... are you sure this isn't just some odd dream? Maybe I hit my head back there.

Positive! *inaudible grumbling*

U... um... I'm... Haku... Yowane. Haku Yowane. H-hello. I'm... new... here I guess? Uh. I was kind of hoping maybe... some one's seen my siblings? I was with Neru, my sister... a-and my little brother and sister wandered off to explore the coast-

You're not near a coast anymore, in case you failed to notice.

*silence*

... Haku?

... I need a drink...

Er, welcome.

Dr. Osamu Ichijouji-Akiyama, MD, Ph.D, MPH. Just Ichijouji on pretty much everything except legal papers, though.

Not that I think any of my titles apply here anymore.

I-its nice to meet you, officially... I guess... *sheepish laugh* I think its important that you have them. 'cause... it takes a long time to even just get a Ph.D, so that means you put a lot of work in to it, right?

Re: [Locked to Haku, now completely locked from Hagurumon]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. They're still not any real use here.

But, I'm sure you have better things to do than listen to me whine.

Re: [Locked to Haku, now completely locked from Hagurumon]

*chuckles* I think we switched places. I was the one saying that earlier. Maybe, but you still went to the effort of doing it, and learning all that stuff. Its difficult. Not many people would have the patience for it. That's something to admire.

I was a child genius, it wasn't really that hard.

Re: [Locked to Haku, now completely locked from Hagurumon]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

O-oh... well. *awkward Haku is awkward* Th-there's still dedication for actually going through school and everything. You probably had to do a lot of that, with all those different titles...

Re: [Locked to Haku, now completely locked from Hagurumon]

It was something to do. I had a notable lack of a social life.

Re: [Locked to Haku, now completely locked from Hagurumon]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... *nervous little laugh* Social lives are... overrated?

[still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

In some circles, yeah. In other circles I wouldn't have minded it so much.

Of course, I also had the added benefit of depression keeping me from being interested in anything else but my husband and classwork.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... that's healthier than being drunk all the time.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

I think I'd take alcoholism over wanting to kill myself regularly. Alcoholism is at least somewhat curable.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Its still a burden on everyone around you. I suppose most disorders are, aren't they? ... not that it matters. The only ones who would be sad if I died would be Rin and Len, and it wouldn't last very long. They're too young to really understand.

Those who claim that only a few people would miss them are those who have more friends than they think they do.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

I really don't know anyone outside of my 'family'. And we were kind of forced together anyway. Honestly... sometimes... it feels like a few of them resent me for even being made. We're all supposed to be the same, right? But they act like just because Neru and I weren't made 'perfect' like them... th-that we shouldn't... exist... or... *hiccups, sniffles*

I-I'm sorry...

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

You'll find more friends in time, I'm sure.

Maybe they're not really thinking that? You can't really know what other people think, so they may be thinking something else entirely.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Its not so much what they say as how they act...

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

That does sound depressing. At least you can choose your friends. Sometimes friends become better family than actual family.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

That's... that's true. Sabine's been really nice to me so far. You have, too. And... Rin and Len, even though they're young, they always treated me the best. So if they do come then I'll have some of my family that actually matters...

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

It's the best thing you can hope for then, eh?

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Y-yeah...

um... maybe we can be friends, too?

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

Er, if you want.

I've... never had someone come up and just ask. Well, someone who wasn't trying to leech off my spotlight or get me to do their homework.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

*giggles softly* I don't have homework. We're pre-loaded with a mid-college level education already. And as far as spotlights are concerned, I kind of have my own already. Its not as noticeable as the others, but I really don't think I need to leech of anyone's.

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[dr-ichijouji.livejournal.com]

Well, uhm, I suppose if you want to...

Re: [still locked; Osamu wouldn't normally talk about this but he's high]

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Hee! Okay! We're friends now~!
