[She finished dinner not long ago and just like every meal she'd had since coming here, she wasn't hungry before eating it. She didn't even think about eating except when Lelouch would mention it. And while everything tasted good, she found herself eating less and less each time.

There were other strange things too. Everyone else always felt so much warmer when she touched them. And then there were the dreams or were they memories? Suzaku holding her hand. The medical equipment...

She's been here about three weeks now, and it's getting harder to ignore that something is different.]

Hello, everyone, I've heard a few things about people coming here who are not...alive anymore where they come from. I was just wondering what that's like if someone wouldn't mind talking about it.

I'm Tara. Tara MaClay. It's nice to meet you, Euphie.

[deadly_legacy]

It's nice to meet you Tara. Have you been here very long?

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

Over a year, now, give and take some visits home.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh? I was told those who weren't alive couldn't visit home. Although I guess he did say there were exceptions.

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

I was alive, until this last visit.

[deadly_legacy]

You... What happened? I mean, if I can ask?

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

I was shot. Just -- a random sort of thing, I guess.

[deadly_legacy]

Did someone tell you or can you remember it?

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

Some of it they filled me in on, and some I... pieced together myself.

[deadly_legacy]

It's all a little fuzzy for me.

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

That may get better, but... I can't promise. It is for me, too.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm not sure I want them to get better.

Do you have friends here, Tara? From your own world I mean.

[private]

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

A few.

[deadly_legacy]

Did you have to tell any of them about being...not alive? [Dead sounds so harsh!]

My entrance into the City was pretty dramatic. They figured it out.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

More dramatic than falling into the fountain?

[private]

[witchinbloom.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was part of it.

[private]

[deadly_legacy]

I was lucky enough to land near it and not in it.

I suppose I was just wondering if there was any good way to tell people who don't already know. Or maybe it's best just not to mention it...

i think that's up to you. Whatever you feel is best with each person. After all, it's your news to tell.

[Nods after a moment's consideration] Thank you, Tara.

Of course, Euphie.
