Test 2 for the hell of it.

You know... you really are a rather mean person for putting me and Severus through this, you know? Hasn't he been through enough over the years? Do you really think you should be allowed to play with people's lives like this? The City itself is bad enough, but do you really need to cause this amount of emotional repercussion for your own amusement? It's shameful.

And do you think you even have a handle on my character? You've never written me before. In fact, I'm pretty sure you're just doing this because you can't do the "dead wife" set up with your other poor "puppet". And just so you are perfectly clear, Severus and I never had a romantic relationship, so you'd better throw that out of your mind right here and now. I refuse to have my emotions played with.

Mou, it really isn't worth arguing with her, that it is not.

I am not going to just sit back and let her pull my strings! I DON'T want to do this! He deserves to rest in PEACE after his death. I mean, it's bad enough that she's going to send me in, but why does she have to send me in at this age? It's cruel!!!

This unworthy one agrees with you, that he does. The dead should be allowed to rest in peace, that they should. It is unfortuneate that your friend was brought back by someone to be played with in the City, that it is.

She has plans to bring this unworthy one's dead wife back as well, that she does.

Oh crap... that was you? Um... sorry... I overheard her talking about "angst" this and "angst" that... Sorry...

Well... She isn't the one who is playing with Severus... but bringing me into the picture... it's just... uhg...

Oro? Ah, daijoubu de gozaru, miss. This unworthy one's name is Himura Kenshin, that it is. Hajimemashite de gozaru.

May this unworthy one ask why de gozaru?

Um... wow... I only understood about half of what you just said...

I'm Lily Evans. It's nice to meet you, although I kinda wish it was for a different reason. Of course... I guess I wouldn't be meeting you at all if it weren't for this, so that's probably a little redundant.

Well... from what I've heard, shortly after the time she's grabbing me from, Severus and I have a bit of a falling out and never really speak to each other again. I go on to marry his childhood bully, he goes on to become a DeathEater. He is... was... ~~this is weird~~ my best friend. I loved him like a brother back then, he loved me like a sister and more... If we... if we didn't have that falling out... if he didn't make such stupid choices... I probably would have married him once we were out of school... but he just kept the wrong friends and let them mold him into someone I didn't know anymore...

But I'm rambling... the worst part of all of it, is that he inadvertently caused my death six years later and has been blaming himself ever since...

So seeing me, at this age, before I broke ties with him, acting as though nothing had happened... if he wasn't already dead, it would probably kill him. He was almost 40 when he died... I'm 15. It's going to be... awkward to say the least.

Ah, gomennasai... eto... This unworthy one is sorry, that he is. He has difficulty with the "City" language, that he does. He speaks Japanese normally, and winds up with a mixture of both, that he does.

Sou de gozaru... This unworthy one understands, that he does.

Ah, alright. I kind of understand that. I'll take it the City alters everyone's perception so that we all understand each other? I guess that's nice of them.

If you don't mind my asking, why do you call yourself that? "This unworthy one"? It seems so demeaning, and you seem to be a pretty nice guy...

Ah, hai de gozaru. That is what this unworthy one has been told, that it is... Demo, it appears to affect people differently, that it does. This unworthy one knows one woman in the City who cannot speak City language at all, that he does. She can only speak a language called "German" that she can.

Mou... this unworthy one does not like talking about it, that he does not...

Demo... since Lily-dono told him her story, he will share as well, that he will. This unworthy one was a hitokiri during the bakumatsu... eto... and assassin in a war in Japan, that he was. He killed hundreds and hundreds of people during the war in order to usher in a new era where the common man's happiness would be protected, that he did... His hands are stained with the blood of all of those people... but the worst...

Lily-dono has overheard talk of this unworthy one's wife, Himura Tomoe... This unworthy one... killed Tomoe's first fiance during the bakumatsu, which brought Tomoe into his midst... and later after we had been married, she sacrificed herself to save this unworthy one's life, that she did... This unworthy one... accidentally killed his own wife, that he did...

He has done the unspeakable and is searching for a way to atone for all of those sins... and until he can find an answer, he refuses to accept happiness for himself, and this is reflected in his choice of speach, that it is.

Oh my... ~~Oh my God...~~

I'm... I'm sorry... I... I don't know what to say to that... But... if you're sorry for what you did... you should have a second chance. And it was war, right? Back in my world... we think a war is brewing... and... bad things happen in wars to good people. I can't understand how... what you're going through, but I can imagine...

And... your wife... do you think that she wants you to be torturing yourself like this? I mean... if she "sacrificed" her self to save you... I would think she would want you to be happy... so... you shouldn't keep happiness from your life. Happiness and love... those are the most important things out there. Friends... and family... nothing else is more important.

Listen to me, giving you speeches when we've only first met... I'm sorry.

And... if you don't mind me asking, is "Himura" your last...er... family name? I was about to call you Himura, but... is that what I call you? My family name is Evans. I guess we might have a bit of cultural confusion going on here...

Daijoubu de gozaru. This unworthy one's wife died fifteen years ago, that she did. He has been wandering Japan for ten years since the revolution ended, protecting the happiness of those in front of him with an oath never to kill again, that he has. That is his answer, that it is... He is not "torturing" himself, that he is not. He regrets most of the decisions in his life, but he keeps on moving forward because to do anything else would cause Tomoe's death and the deaths of all those during the bakumatsu to be meaningless, that it would.

And... for the first time in all that while, this unworthy one has a "family" of his own, as patched together as it is de gozaru. He is... somewhat happy, that he is. They have given this unworthy one a reason to value his life again, that they have.

And Himura is this unworthy one's family name. You may call this unworthy one by either name, though traditionally we Japanese call others by their family name in order to be polite, and change to their given name as a relationship builds. What would you prefer this unworthy one to call you by de gozaru?

Good. I'm very glad to hear that. You seem like too nice of a person to do that to yourself. So... is there no way to get you to drop the "this unworthy one" phrase?

And I would definately prefer you call me Lily. James Potter, who is the guy I eventually marry, but I just can't see it considering he's such a jerk in my time, calls me "Evans" and it just makes me mad.

So... Kenshin then?

Kenshin is fine, that it is, Lily-dono. And, no, this unworthy one will not change his manner of speaking, that he will not.

Well, we'll see about that. I'll work on you.

I'll see you around, Kenshin.

Maa, maa...

Ja matta de gozaru.

Yeah... I gotta agree with him... Better settle in for some torture. But... she does throw you a bone every now and then...

This is stupid. There has to be some way to stop this.

Believe me, I know it's stupid. And trust me, we've tried.

You're probably going to be here for a while--although maybe you'll luck out like the last girl that was here with us... Mimiko somethingorother. She only stuck around for about a month and She let her go. My name is Doris Lang.

Wonderful. Why did the other girl get turned loose?

I'm Lily Evans. It's good to meet you.

I guess she just didn't like playing with her or something... and I guess the other person she was trying to torture was turned loose too... so she got a break. I'm not sure.

I was the first person this chick grabbed and I've been here the longest of this group. It isn't always bad, per se... it's normally just embarassing stuff. And normally when I'm getting into trouble, D is there to ~~knock~~ bale me out.

So... hopefully... maybe "Severus" will be able to keep an eye on you too.

I am perfectly capable of keeping myself out of trouble. Severus is not going to have to babysit me.

D? That's kind of a short name...

Well... normally I'm pretty good at doing the same, but a lot of times the City curses take away your reason--which is why it's a good thing to try to keep lots of friends who will watch out for you when you are cursed.

There was one curse where I thought I was in love with one of his family's enemies. Come hell or high water I was going to go see that little cat-eared bastard. D stopped me from waltzing into trouble. Another time I was briefly turned into a homicidal maniac, and Walter stopped me and tied me up until it was over before I accidentally killed someone...

So it isn't so much a thing of people watching over you because you can't take care of yourself, but watching over you for when you just AREN'T yourself.

And... yeah... it's just "D". Actually stands for Dante too-many-names-for-me-to-remember Hellsing. Long story short, he had a bit of a fight with his dad and got disowned... and dropped the name.

Oh geez... And there isn't really a way to avoid the curses are there? ~~I am NOT looking forward to this...~~

No... not really. If she wants to hit you with one, you're going to get hit. It's just a matter of whether it's going to embarass us, or cause us grief. ~~Bastards~~. But, like I said, once in a while she'll throw you a bone. At least, she threw me a bone...

Be nice if that would happen again, but I'm not expecting it.

What do you mean when you say sometimes she throws you a bone?

Oh, she'll work a curse day in your favor--or set something up with others so that something nice happens to you for once.

One thing she did for me was coordinated a curse with the person who handles D so that we could be together without him accidentally killing me. As awful as all of this can be, I'm grateful just for that.

Oh... ok, I see what you mean.

Yeah. Well, good luck in the City, Lily. Hopefully she won't hit you with too much angst. I think she mainly wants you around for WTF-ery. Maybe we'll meet in the City. Though I doubt it. She keeps me away from Kenshin, so she'll probably do the same with you.

And as far as that age discrepancey? I'm going to be 19 on the 6th. D is over 12,000 years old. If you feel anything for your friend... I say go for it, what the hell.

... I'm not sure if that sounds like a good thing or a bad thing...

And... ~~Holy...~~ Severus and I have always just been friends. If he didn't do the things that he did it may have turned out different, but he made decisions that I couldn't stand by him with. So... no.

Plus, I'm FIFTEEN.

I see. Well, the City has a funny way about letting you live things out differently. We'll see when you get in there. I hope things go well for you.

And... in my world 15 is a marriagable age, so...

...

Well, it's not in mine. So... no.

Damn...

Reminded yet again of how the world went to hell in a handbasket.

Stupid Alucard...

Um... do I want to know?

Eh, it's not important. Basically, around your time humans destroy the world, and vampires rebuild it and enslave humanity. 12,000 years later, Earth is a shithole, women are treated like trash, monsters and mutants run amok, the Frontier has turned people into monsters themselves, and we're all scared shittless of the nobility.

Guy named Alucard did it.

And I live with him because I'm in love with his son. It's really stupid when you think about it.

And I'm getting annoyed and blattering, I'm sorry.

O...k... Um... don't worry about it, ok?

Yeah...

Well, hey, I'll see you around. If she let's me anyway. Take care.

You too...

Nice she casted a PB for you.

Yeah, she was too lazy to finish drawing me. Oh well, I think this person looks about right.

My nose is a little longer though. And she's had to fix the eye color, but it works.

My name's Lily Evans. And you?

Mine is too lazy to correct the eye color on my PB.

The name's Rayne. Nice to meet you Lily.

The same.

I wonder if I'll be around as long as Doris and Kenshin. They said there was a third person here who didn't last very long. ~~Maybe I'll luck out.~~

And we've already overheard her talking about someone named "Anthy." I'm not sure what to think about all of this...

How long have you been here?

At least you guys can keep count. This girl has so many muses that I can't even remember the total number.

I'm one of her older muses. It's almost been a year since she brought me to the City.

Oh, that's just bloody lovely.

Well, it looks like she's thinking of starting her own little zoo of us too...

Geez... this is too much. It really is. I just want to go back home, take my OWLS.

Good luck with that. If she is anything like the one who tortures me then she'll hang on to a muse for as long as she can.

Great.
