Re: The Great Library

Kotaro took the book and walked over to the hole in the floor. "It was hidden under this tile. It was sealed with alchemy but I managed to get it open. Why?"

Dwyrin looked at him incredulously. "What do you mean, 'Why?' ?? Aren't you curious when interesting things are shown to you??" She put her hands on her hips and sighed. "Have you read it all??"

by **kotaro7914** Fri Mar 04, 2011 9:20 am

“I just found it Dwryin. How could I read it all?” Kotaro opened the book to a random page. “These experiments weren't just tried with alchemy, tools were used, limbs hacked off the scientists, so they use them in the cloning”

by **SamSeven** Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:19 pm

"Well, I wan't sure when you found it," she said, wandering over to the spot on the floor he had indicated. It seemed to be just a clever hiding spot. Which was a bit disappointing. But if the library had this mysterious little secret, maybe there was more to be found.

Dwyrin looked at Kotaro. "Limbs, huh...?? Speaking of which, are all of yours, your own??"

“Each clone was made from embryo's they harvested. These are my own limbs.” Kotaro uncovered his left arm, showing its blackish tint to the skin. “Even this is mine.”

by **SamSeven** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:01 am

Harvested?? Sounds unpleasant...

She frowned a bit looking at the arm he had presented. A short debate flared in her head. To ask or not to ask??

To ask.
"Why is your arm...dark??"

by **kotaro7914** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:14 am

“My guess is...same reason my appearance changes every 40 years.” Kotaro covered his arm again.

by **SamSeven** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:19 am

Dwyrin sat back down in her chair, theories racing through her brain too quickly to sort out.

"Well, I'm no expert alchemist," she said, cautiously, "But I wonder... Has it always been that way??"

by **kotaro7914** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:33 am

“The arm, no. It recently happened. The skin on my left arm just burned comepletely off. Soon afterwards, it grew back like this”

“If its my appearance, I developed early during the cloning process. It gave me a down syndrome that has my age revert back to 19 and my appearance change every 40 years.”

by **SamSeven** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:44 am

"Sounds Painful," she said, thinking of charred skin.

An absurd though came to her. How many people would kill for the ability to reverse the effects of time on your appearance... SHe doubted Kotaro would appreciate her dry humor in this case, and kept it to herself.

"Is this change sudden?? Like one day you just wake up and are a different person?? Or is it gradual??"

by **kotaro7914** Mon Mar 07, 2011 12:54 am

“It starts with your eyes. they begin to change color. After that, the hair. It grows, shortens, and cganges color. After that, I would look completly different. I used to lose my memory of the 40 years as well, but me and Tosh disabled that. ”

by **SamSeven** Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:06 am

"Toshii??" If it was the same Tosh she was thinking of, she was suprised to know the girl had the ability to assist in such an undertaking. "How long ago do you remember, then??" she couldn't help but ask.

by **kotaro7914** Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:22 am

“Not that long ago. A month at the most.” Kotaro remembered how Tosh had found him with no memory of who he was. The sadness in her eyes seemed to have triggered something in his mindthat gave his memory back.

by **SamSeven** Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:33 am

She was suprised. "That's it?? Then you don't remember any of your previous existences?? Are you always Kotaro??"

Ok, so maybe it was a bit much to be asking all at once.

by **kotaro7914** Mon Mar 07, 2011 1:42 am

“I'm always Kotaro, I just lose everything till when I was created. I don't remember how many times I swtched. For all I know, I could have lived for 90 years by now.”

by **SamSeven** Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:40 am

She looked up at the high ceiling, considering the possibilities. "That's really something. I wonder if there's any way to retrieve those memories."

by **kotaro7914** Tue Mar 08, 2011 12:17 pm

Kotaro nodded. "It would be nice to find out what I did during those times."

by **zergio** Tue Mar 08, 2011 3:53 pm

Renee walked into the building, browsing for books on weaponry, and a book on fighting with melee weapons. She browsed through the books, picking up one on Shotguns, one on Grenade Launchers, and a book on basic knife combat. She was heading back to sign them out when she heard Kotaro. She stayed behind a bookcase and listened.

by **kotaro7914** Tue Mar 08, 2011 4:25 pm

"Sometimes I don't want to remember what I did during those years." He continued. "I think, 'what if I wasn't like I am today? What if I was something horrific.'" Kotaro shook his head. "It's just another couple months till it happened again." Kotaro lifted the book. "It get's faster each time it happens. So it could happen in a few months, years, maybe even a couple days."

by **SamSeven** Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:14 am

"What an unpleasant thought. What if you fed starving children from the vast family fortune you inherited or something??"

She looked around the library, a bit, then looked back at Kotaro. "So, what do you plan to do about it, then??"

by **kotaro7914** Thu Mar 17, 2011 3:07 am

Kotaro laughed. "That is quite something to say."

Kotaro sighed. "Really, I plan to fix as much as I can before it happens again."

by **SamSeven** Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:06 am

"Is it??" she asked, looking to the ceiling with an out-of-place sense of whimsy. "It could be true, though."

Fixing things was a task not easily undertaken. Dwyrin understood that much, and so did not take his words lightly. "Gotta find a place to start, huh??"

by **kotaro7914** Tue Apr 05, 2011 1:09 am

Kotaro nodded. "Could be true."

"I already started. I'm just going to finish it as fast as I can." He put his hands in his pockets.
