we know what we are, but know not what we may be.

*is something between a boy and a man, all in shades of gold and brown, mocha-rich skin, ginger-light hair, distracted eyes like autumn moons floating in a fixed sky. his expression is pointed to a smirk, a wry, constant crescent, and sprawled disheveled across the floor, he strikes a match and stares into it, fascinated

*looks Wreck up and down* Well, aren't you a strange little guy.

[quantumimmortal]

little? *laughs* my mother said i'd gotten tall -- i'd think i was still, as strangers go. but where do strangers go? strange lands, undiscovered countries ... or here, it seems. wherever that may be.

shall i say, i have gone at dusk through narrow streets and watched the smoke that rises from the pipes, of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows ...?

*looks up with a distracted smile, letting the match singe his fingers* hey.

[cityvamp]

*nods slowly* Riiiiight... *eyes the match* You'll burn yourself like that, you know.

[quantumimmortal]

i know nothing, remember? *looks down at it, tilting his head to a side, seeing that he has burnt himself, and is still*

*depuppets* Eee! Another Nano'er. Though I've never actually completed a novel. Maybe this year., *repuppets*

Are you all right, sweetie? *Hugs the boy*

[quantumimmortal]

why wouldn't i be all right? maybe they've all left, but there's only one of me, and i've never been one to follow the herd. the herd's never been one to follow me -- why would they? there's an order to nature, after all, and cattle don't chase wolves.

*beams up at her* hello, miss.

typist: i only finished 2003 -- and even then i didn't really finish it ^^; but, hey! there's always this year. except for when it is this year, but then there's always next year.

[cafechick]

Awwww. You're just so cute and confused and I just want to squeeze you!

[quantumimmortal]

i think you have may have me confused, or you're confused about me and cuter for it. my headmate's the squeezable one, i'm more often slapped. *has broken the fourth wall and hums happily*

[remy_innocence]

Hello! ^_^ *warm smile* I'm very pleased to meet you.

Typist: *squeals incoherently* ZOMG ETERNAL WRECK LOVE. *flails*

[quantumimmortal]

oh, pleased, pleasant, a pleasure to meet you ... and though the shadow of a sigh, may tremble through the story, for 'happy summer days' gone by, and vanish'd summer glory -- it shall not touch, with breath of bale, the pleasance of our fairy-tale ... *fumbles for another match, with a distracted smirk* ... have you seen my sister?

[remy_innocence]

*considers seriously* What does she look like?

[quantumimmortal]

two eyes, so -- *smiles, pointing them out on remy* -- nose in the middle, mouth under. why d'you ask?

[henry_linden]

*peers closely*

Oh my. I hope being here helps you.

*has been in the slightly mad place and refuses to go back*

I'm Henry.

[quantumimmortal]

helps me with what, might i ask? i'm one of the world's last free children -- nothing to do, and nothing to helped. but adults don't understand that. *smiles* has being here helped you with anything?

[henry_linden]

It's helped me get a headache. But generally I find company to be beneficial.

[quantumimmortal]

then you're richer now then when you came in -- you've gained a headache, and good company to share it with! might i ask who was so kind?
