[for four days, nill has stayed in her room. she's ignored messages and neglected to check on horse and dog in the gardens. but those four days gave her time to think and calm down--at least on the outside. she's washed her face and wings, and has brushed her hair stick-straight. she's even put on one of her dresses, though it doesn't fit quite right anymore. she wants to show her friends that she's okay. instead of looking like a sixteen year old girl that's just lost the only person in the world she trusts, she just looks like a sixteen year old girl who could do with a good night's sleep. there is a mild difference.]

Heine Rammsteiner is gone. He has left his things to me. Most of them are clothes. If anybody needs them they can come take them.

I am not very good at sewing. I have wings. I like stories about knights.

[nightblogs]

[culver]

[nill turns the video back on; here is a teenage girl, all blonde hair and blue eyes with, yes, a small pair of white-feathered wings sticking out of her back. their span isn't more than three feet, obviously useless for flight.]

Yes.

[nightblogs]

whoa awesome!
howd you get them?
are u a mutant? angel? bird lady?

[culver]

[normally, she would avoid the question. but she's too tired from being upset about heine to care.]

I am not an angel. Someone put them there. Some people call us mutants in my world but I am just a person.

[nightblogs]

[culver]

That is just what they called us.
Mutant buddy?
