born on a sunny day beneath the tangerine sky

[derogatory]

1. what did you want to be when you grew up? is it different now? (everyone has those "when I grow up" dreams, don't even pretend.)
2. what happens after you die?
3. Babylonian political affiliation? this could get epic.
4. where do you see yourself ending up? take that as you will.
5. anyone on the network you don't know, but you'd like to? or you've just been stalking? tell me about them, you bunch of freaks.
6. and then tell me a story.

1. I want to be happy, but I know that its impossible not to be! So, a circus performer, an astronaut, a pharmacist, a sushi chef, an actor and a father.
2. You're at peace with everyone and everything and can look after the people you care about at all times. When we die, we can be everywhere at once and with everyone who needs us.
3. Oh, I don't really care about politics very much. Revolutions can be very romantic, but I'd rather if no one gets hurt. Petrelli has a very nice voice, doesn't he?
4. With the Host Club of course!
5. I want to meet Zuko's friends! HE is always so shy, but they seem perfectly sweet. Also, Claire's cousin (? brother?) seems very kind. To be honest, I can meet anyone if I wasn't already so busy that I'm not on the journals as much! Oh, I want to meet Charlie's captain. I don't have anything to say to that sort of person, but I want to look him in the eye and see if I can see why my brother sees.
6. I never pronounce Schumann's titles properly. Kyouya always corrects even if it's an official club proclamation, even if he's on the other side of the room. His favorite is Traumerei, but I think it's too sad. When I play it here in Babylon, I forget that I've left him behind. This isn't a very good story, but I'm not very good with reminiscing.

1. I wanted to be L. Now I just want to be done.
2. I come back here and relive the fight with Kira in new, uninteresting ways, apparently.
3. Obviously I'm not with Kira, and therefore I have no faith in Petrelli, Kiske or Sofer. I know the AT users are planning something, but their actions will only endanger the populace. Kennit and Dalton has high ideals, but funneling information to them is just part of the plan to shift the focus of Raito's group. I have no intention of letting them achieve whatever thin idea of a idealized world. They are little more than Kira. Faith Lehane is part of something that might have potential, but it's still in its infancy.
4. Dead again. I'd like to watch Kira beg for mercy, but I'll take what I can get.
5. I'd like to know less about most people.
6. Matt says immediately after the explosion I ran a couple blocks past the docks before I collapsed. That's unimpressive considering the amount o adrenaline I should have been working on. He and Petrellese and some lower guys were in enough shape to get me to an outside contracted doctor. They used skin graphs, but theres only so much you can do on a budget and an expired medical license. Seeing my reflection doesn't bother me. The burns on my chest are worse, because the metal on my jacket apparently sank into my skin. When I was still wrapped in puss filled bandages, Matt curled up on the edge of the bed with the DS and said I was like a monster. It really didn't bother me. It still doesn't, but I know most people are disgusted by it all. I don't care. This is from the night where we killed the man who helped birth Kira. This is the night Kira could've killed me but he failed. This is a wound I gave myself for prolonging my mission.

1. I use to want to play soccer, when I was really little. Then I wanted to run around with Agito and the rest of SWAT team Wind forever. Then I think I just wanted to fly again, but I couldn't realize it until Crow showed me. Now I've grown up, but I don't know what I turned into.
2. Huh. I don't know. I guess you go to the afterlife, which seems more real now that I've got a ghost living with me.
3. I'm with Simca-san, even if I probably don't deserve to be and maybe they don't trust me. But whatever side the AT users go with, I'll follow. I don't care about this place and their policies and stuff, but I care about getting revenge on Sora and his brother. I hope they don't show up for a while. I have to train harder.
4. I guess I'll get a new team, or join one, but it sounds kinda pathetic.
5. huh. Rukia's friend Natsume is pretty cute so I wouldn't mind knowing her a little better. The whole mafia thing seems pretty cool.
6. I took Ren Fa out of Tokyo for a weekend. Sano handled the the travel plans (he wasn't just the great planner for Genesis, okay, I had him first) and it was pretty easy. She'd never seen like outside of Tokyo and I hadn't been anywhere since like a class trip. I knew AT reached everywhere, but it was weird to see like, kids in Kagoshima buzzing around. Ren Fa really liked the countryside. I thought we'd just see like Kansai, but she kept wanting to go farther, which is why we would up in like farmland Kyushu. She was really happy in those kinda of places. I almost called Sano and said we weren't coming home, but Mitsuru would've been really sad. Ren Fa didn't cry until the bus ride back. It was the longest she hadn't cried or said something really mean. hahh A lot of my stories end up having to do with her, huh? I guess I really miss her, but I'm definitely getting over it.

1. A queen, of course. That will never change.
2. For commoners, you're cremated to commemorate your return to the form that birthed out great nation. If you're nobility, you never truly die. You're just reborn farther down the lineage. I have in me the spirit of my greatest ancestors. They obviously skipped Zuko, he received only the greatest failures.
3. My own.
4. I will take a hold of this pace and those within in that I can use to my advantage. This school is only the first step. Without my previous connections, unfortunately I have to start slowly. I can be very patient, so it will be fine.
5. Lelouch Lamperogue, Kennit Ludluck, Rhode Camelot, Chrome Dukuro.
6. Ba Sing Seh was a impregnable fortress and I, an enemy, walked through the doors.

1. What I wanted to be when I grew up? I don't know. I wanted the sky and my freedom. I guess there was a point where I just wanted to be normal. I wanted to live like the people who support me. I don't hate what I am and I don't think it makes me superior to anyone either. But for a while, I just wanted to see what it was like to live without worry. I guess it didn't work that way, and I really wasn't using AT as much because Kilik hurt me. But I gave all my efforts for both the side of me that's one of the Gravity Children, and the part of me that could be human. Ohh, this isn't a very good answer is it?
2. What a cute question to ask me. I have no more an idea than anyone else.
3. I am with Simca and the sky. The Flame Road takes precedent, I'll admit that. I'm afraid of what's outside the dome, or what will happen if I broach the topic. We are stuck underground again, possibly forever. Sometimes I think it's a chance to be like everyone else, and sometimes it feels like a prison. It's very complicated, living in this place.
4. I should slip into a formal retirement soon enough. With Kilik here I can't let my guard down completely, but it's getting harder to fight. Kazu is such a good heir.
5. Ky Kiske. Kanda Yuu. Karolina Dean.
6. I told Sora first. I loved Simca but there would always be something different about him and the fire that he started in me. He grinned and accused me to jumping to a decision that I might not be able to stick to. He brought up Minami's daughter and other girls I was close with. I think now when I remember it, it was the only time Sora ever tried to change my mind. The rest of the times we disagreed about something, he didn't hear it. But then, that time he argued with me.

Just when I felt like crying, Sora pulled me so close it hurt. He told me not to regret my decisions. "It isn't a choice," I plead into his hair. "It's who I am." Sora pulled off my headband and petted my hair like I was one of his dogs.

"People change," he said. I hated him so much at that moment, but I always got over it.
