Things are back to relatively normal. The babykloks didn't die this morning, the new arrivals are being herded into the assembly hall for this evening's training, and as for me? I'm in a positively chipper mood. I want to see our little recruits have a success rate over 70 percent, which is a lofty goal since they're at 30 percent. Heaven forbid they wind up living. That'd be FAR too much to ask of them, obviously.

Sadako? Mr. Ofdensen? Would asking for lunch together be stepping on any toes? I would be honored to go over a plan I've got for the recruits that could potentially save on resources.

	I'd love to go to lunch with you and Mister Ofdensen. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Maybe you and I could get dessert together afterwards? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Only if you promise me you'll eat it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course! I always have room for sweets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And that is exactly why I know you've spent lots of time with me! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You certainly do have good taste in them! I'm looking forward to it. [Sadako]:I hope Mr. Ofdensen is alright to listen to my proposals. I know I'm young, but I've done a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Me too. ♥ [Teja:] If he doesn't, I'll make him. I'm twice his age. And you're right - you're young, but you're astoundingly capable. He seems smart enough to put ability before age, especially with someone as precocious as you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You don't have to do anything. I want to get myself to where I want to go without having to rely on others. I appreciate the gesture, however. I'm just worried that what I have in mind isn't feasible. It would give you more work and more of a challenge, and it'd give 359 more klokateers to train, and most importantly of all, it'd bolster the band's defenses and workforce by at least a third more.

	I barely work now as it is. Healing you all takes me a few minutes once a week. I've new charges now, but with portkeys, that won't be hard either. I barely earn my pay, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Would you be terribly insulted if you were made to heal the peons that survive the initial recruit training? And kill the ones I say just need it? I've seen some recruits that are highly motivated, well trained, and devoted to the cause, but they die out of bad luck. And then there's some completely idiotic assholes that somehow survive and I can't just let them go because I know these monkeys already signed themselves over to us.

	Not at all. Any practice at my art makes me faster, makes me better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Then I'm even more excited for my plan, and hope that Mr. Ofdensen won't turn it down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	I doubt he would. I'm not going to increase my rates and the turnover would go down. That's simply good business. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 06:57 pm UTC (link)
	And at the very least, it'll help you get better at your art. And I wouldn't say that's a loss at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	I'll get faster so that it'll be all but instantaneous soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 07:03 pm UTC (link)
	As if your work isn't a miracle already, Sadako. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know how to explain it, it's like putting a pattern together. I just need to limber my mind. Funny you should speak of miracles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	So it's a puzzle for you? How's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	A bit, yes. I just know how things fit together, and it's a matter of fitting them how I want very rapidly. I wasn't meant to have a child. And I sort of do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	And the speed of thought is an incredible thing. It only advances and gets faster and faster. Perhaps one day, I may consider you my mother. I just hope that day doesn't come. I'd rather not die. And being pregnant, as I've heard, is no fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 07:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm hoping so. I'd rather you not die as well, Teja. Though with me, it's not the pregnancy that's no fun - that only lasts a week. It'd be you eating me alive afterward, and then trying to find a suitable host body to carry me to term so I might do the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sadako athousandcuts 2008-09-29 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	So let us only hope that all of us are more safe than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Teja wheniamqueen 2008-09-29 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	We will be. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Alright, I'm open to new ideas. At the moment I have some things to wrap up around the office. How does Wednesday afternoon sound to the both of you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	athousandcuts 2008-09-30 09:05 am UTC (link)
	We'll both be there. I'm glad to hear that you aren't too busy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
