{LOCKED TO SHIRO, HOUSE, AND ITSUKI} entry/any comments can be hackable by Cuddy for the lulz

[bentflame]

So. Are we telling her?

If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't bother commenting just to say "tell her what?"; make yourself useful and actually look. I'd also say don't bother commenting if you're likewise affected, but I suspect that wouldn't do any good in this case.

OOC: Reference!

It took me like three goddamn re-reads to notice a problem. What's the point in telling her?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It's just a possibility.

It took me four days, if she's been affected the entire time.

Why did it take you that long?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Beeeecause we're more or less her kids anyway? And as for Dr. I'm-A-Grumpy-Shit, they're practic'ly married anyway. Seriously, what's the problem here?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm. Nothing, I suppose. Of course, when it's over you know she's going to freak out about being married to him again.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Psht, maybe she'll finally get the great cosmic hint.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

She's stubborn. And likes to pretend that she hates him. Even I can tell that they're dancing around each other and it's not as if I pay any attention at all to her love life.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Well, like I said, maybe this'll be what makes her give in.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

Do you think she'd kick us out if she did?

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

C'mon, Barbie, this is Lisa Cuddy we're talkin' about. She wouldn't kick us out. She's pretty much our mother.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What did you call me?

... And besides, I've only known her for a year and a half, and only been staying here for six months.It's been longer for you, hasn't it? That's why you're so sure; you're accustomed to it.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

Barbie.

Well then, guess you gotta take my word for it, right?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's not my name.

I never take anyone's word but my own-- especially since I don't actually know you all that well.

[ninelivesbaby.livejournal.com]

It's a nickname!

Guess we gotta fix that. Whaddya wanna do?

[philoxidizes]

There's probably not much point. It would only cause her stress.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Everyone else is going to tell her anyway.

[philoxidizes]

But if her 'children' believe her, that will be a comfort, won't it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

It's a lie.

[philoxidizes]

Comforting lies are sometimes necessary.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Have you ever been affected by this sort of thing?

[philoxidizes]

Why do you think Lisa and I are so close now?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

How should I know?

They're just viruses, or... gods fooling around. They go away.

Maybe she's been affected by something all this time and she doesn't really like any of us.

[philoxidizes]

A virus rather like this one. Shiro and I thought we were her natural sons for a few days.

Unlikely, considering the natural duration of viruses. Besides, I haven't yet seen anyone affected by two at once.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

And last May we both thought I was her daughter. It's strange, don't you think, that "feelings" like that really start to come about after viruses? It's easy to assume that they're caused by said viruses.

[philoxidizes]

Or perhaps they merely show us what could be, and we attempt to emulate that. After all, there are no personality changes involved, am I correct?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Not in my case.

So really, everything afterward is just wishful thinking.
