[[ Context for this post! Be aware that it contains violence, body horror, and a bit of gore. ]]

so we have baristas and students and a vet and doctors and all kinds of people in the Secret Number Club. Do we have any dental students? i know you guys need to collect human teeth to mess with in school and i recently came into possession of an almost complete set. almost complete because i think i swallowed some. haha… no, positive. i counted.

i dont think im a vampire. i don't crave blood per se. but i DID eat a whole mutant animal before I realized what was happening. and then…

you know what i don't really want to talk about it.

i just want to get rid of these teeth but i wanted to ask if anyone needed them before i just put them in the garbage.

[then added a little later;]


shit.

i'm scared.

yeah. it's just pretty sappy to think about.

yeah i was pretty upset when i saw mamoru around on numbers club business. but i guess we don't have a choice in the matter. it is nice to always have someone to talk to about this stuff though. having a twin is wicked weird sometimes! when we were real little, we did everything together. then i had to switch schools

I guess people might see it that way.

It is good to have people to confide in. Talking about this makes me wonder how different it is to be the same age, instead of older. I'd never really considered it before. Do you mind if I ask why you'd have to go to a different school?

[hollowleg]

I don't mind. I uh... was a pretty violent kid. got into a lot of fights. one day i actually bit another kid's ear off. it was a mess. we settled out of court on the condition I was transferred to a school for kids with "problems". honestly I was so little I barely remember any of it

[ex_purity762]

That must have been tough. Although I'm a few years older, I've always preferred being in the same school as my brother when I could. I've been in fights before, mostly when people were picking on him. Always thought everybody got into some kind of trouble.

[hollowleg]

haha. I guess mutilating a kid kind of overstepped the boundaries of "some kind of trouble". oh well. it's a good thing, though. who knows how I would have turned out if I had stayed that violent.

its kind of ironic though. that I have to fight again, now.

[ex_purity762]

I was once too forceful, although biting wasn't involved. I'm not sure why nothing came of that, actually. At the time, I felt bad just because I hadn't meant to go that far. We don't have as much judgement as kids.

You're different now, you've got more of a head on your shoulders. Wouldn't you say so?

[hollowleg]

no we don't really have a good head on your shoulders then. I think I'm much better off now. I don't even really like to fight anymore. I only do it now because I don't have a choice.

[ex_purity762]

I know what you mean. My family is here, and other people I care about, so I want to do what I can to keep them safe. None of us asked for a fight, but it doesn't seem like a choice.

[hollowleg]

... it's not really a choice. not at all. it's sink or swim

[ex_purity762]

Yeah. We didn't choose this, but we can decide what we'll do about it. So at least we have that much.
