Eleventh manifesto

[proudambassador]

I have, thank the Great Maker, discovered where my body is. I do not know whose this is. I would be quite glad to have someone explain to me exactly how one deals with hair in their face and using the facilities, hm?

I am missing parts, and I have new ones. I would not be much surprised to find that the Animus think this is funny.

Londo?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes, my dear g-

Are you whom you appear to be?

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, I am.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

So you have gotten lucky this time, hm? Do you by any chance know who this may be?

[shadedsunlight]

I'm not sure lucky is the best word to describe things, but I have escaped unaffected.

I don't, I'm sorry.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

You do not have an unfamiliar body, yes? I would call that lucky. Unless something has happened to you, my dear girl?

It is no matter. I will treat it as well as I can.

[shadedsunlight]

No, not at all, simply working out this mess of things.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

A mess is a good way to say it. Are you open to questions about the bodies of humans, or would that be improper, hm?

[shadedsunlight]

Considering my track record for messing things up today, I'm not sure I'm the right person to talk to, but if you're willing to take a chance, I'll see what I can answer?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It is a day for confusing things, yes?

I have seen Earthers with their shirts off, so the absence of things there I did expect. But there is an addition that I am unfamiliar with. Is the appendage between the legs of this body just there to indicate gender, or does it have any other purpose?

[shadedsunlight]

Very.

...Yes, a penis can be considered an indication of gender, but it also serves as a reproductive organ as well as an external organ for urination.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

That is a very important detail. Thank you, Miss Ginia.

It is odd, feeling only one heart beating in my chest.

[shadedsunlight]

You're welcome.

I wonder if having two hearts means you can break one and still go on? I suppose it's a lot to get used to all at once.

If her strikes are gone, then ignore his too...

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

It means that both break at the same time, my dear Miss Ginia. Are you well?

Quite a lot. And along such lines, I have one more question. His hair. It is limp and falls into my eyes. This is a disconcerting sensation, and obscures my vision. What do humans use for this?

[shadedsunlight]

I'll live. I always seem to.

A choice in hairstyle, nothing else. You could always clip it back if needed or tuck it behind an ear if it's long enough.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

That is obvious, yes? You are alive.

What is this... clip? It is another word for cut, no? One portion of it is not long enough and yet manages to stay in my eyes, the damnable thing.

[shadedsunlight]

Yes, I am. And life goes on, with or without you.

Oh, yes, that is another word for cut, but I'd advise against a haircut since the body's owner may not want one and hair does grow slowly. A hair clip is an accessory that can hold hair back. Hold on, I think I have one around here.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

A regrettable fact. I would like to be irreplacable, but I know it is not to be, hm?

Yes, I would not like my hair to be shorter. It would speak against my position.

Ah, so that is a clip. I will go look for one then, yes? What shops can they be found in?

[shadedsunlight]

Yeah.

Your position?

I have a few I can bring over, I'm not using them. Where are you?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I am at [x,y], my casino. A change in body does not mean I should give up on finding a way to make this machine work, hm?

[shadedsunlight]

I'll bring some over. I think a walk might be good for me.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

My balance is rather off, so perhaps it would be best if you are the one to be walking, especially if it is good for you, my dear girl.

[shadedsunlight]

I'll be there shortly.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It will be nice to see unobstructed, yes?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

A ... haircut ...?
Please ... don't ...

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

As you wish, I shall not. I now have things with which to pin it back, yes?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

Thank ... you ...

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

You are quite welcome, my dear boy.

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

What do you mean you are missing parts but have new ones?!
Give back my body, bastard!!

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

If I was capable of it, I would. I am not human, and to have a human body is a very strange thing, yes? I will take good care of it while we are stuck like this, I can assure you.

May I ask your name?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

What are you if you aren't human usually then?
I hope you will ...

It's Manjyome Jun.
What's yours?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I am Centauri. We are a noble race.

My name is Londo Mollari. It is good to meet you, Manjyome.

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

A ... centauri ...

Londo-san? Nice to meet you, too.

Sorry, he's not familiar with honorifics.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. And you are Human, yes?

No, no, the name is just Londo.

I knew it.xD' But Jun did not.XD'

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

Ye-yes. I am.

Eh ... then. Call me Jun, please?

Heehee. Poor Jun.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I thought as much. I have known many humans in my day, though none from the inside out.

Certainly, my good Jun.

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

I understand. Well, I hope it was not too bad for you, was it?

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

No, it most certainly was not. It took getting used to, yes, but once that was done, I was quite fine.

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

That's better than nothing, I guess.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I would agree. It is better to have a body than not, yes?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

That's true for sure.
But the own body is best, still.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

Yes. On that I agree also. But it is a learning experience, yes?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

Yes. It surely was.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

And now, we are back to our own. And I trust you are good with the shape yours was returned in?

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am.
I'm thankful you reallyn didn't do anything to my hair.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

I will admit that it was most tempting. I am not used to hair laying down, hm? But the pins my good friend Ginia brought kept it from getting in the way.

[fond-arrogance.livejournal.com]

It was nice of her to help out, yes.
I should thank her for that again.

[proudambassador.livejournal.com]

That would be a good idea, yes. As must I.
