[weekends are as good a time as any for a not-quite jailbreak, are they not? But it isn't in Nephry's character or best interests to leave the clinic without permission...so she must have it. After all, she's almost halfway back to her own room, walking slowly and a little haltingly, but without stumbling. And she looks very determined, if  a little pale and tired.]

... The same method he used on your doll?

[Jade, what the hell did you do? Tampering with nature like that! Really, now. No wonder they call him the Necromancer.]

[Action]

..It's different for things that...should be alive. But yes.

[She sighs, raising a hand to her head.]

That is... a lot to take in.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

It wasn't you, Professor. By any means. ...And until a very short time ago, I believed he was still looking for a way to...make another one. A better one. [one that wouldn't be superpowerful and attack people]

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

But... Why? I would've hoped I'd taught him better than that. Did he still not comprehend what it means to die?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

He...he spent years taking...data from dead and dying soldiers. Trying to create something. ...I believe it nearly killed him once.

I don't know if he understands even now.

... I knew catastrophe would strike that day. My birthday Score had predicted as much. I was prepared to accept whatever would happen. One cannot escape a fate that's been written in the planet's memory, after all.

[She leans back in her chair, taking a deep breath.]

Yet... It was foolish. I never considered what might happen after that day. If I had, I would've made better preparations.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

...Maybe you can.

I thought he...would have said something, if you were really the...if you were the real Professor. I'm sorry.

He told me no such thing, I'm afraid. Though he made it quite apparent his life hasn't been as rose-colored as his reputation might imply.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I apologize for assuming you knew.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

No, it's... It's fine. You couldn't have known. I'm sure Jade's replica was a perfect likeness.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Physically, yes, if I remember correctly. ...Otherwise, no.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[She knows she shouldn't be curious about something as dubious as this, but... Well, on the other hand, it certainly concerns her. She does have a right to know.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

Well, replicas have no memories. ...And this one...it was very powerful.

[Action]

[fonon-professor.livejournal.com]

... I see. Did it even know what it was doing?

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

I don't know.

[a small cough, and she sighs and rubs her forehead. Tired Nephry is tired]

Thank you for informing me of this, Nephry. I can't imagine what you- all of you must've gone through after my death.
