Work with a smile and go the extra mile

Hello, everybody! ^_^

I'm Malik Benedict. I came upon this community and -

Halloween? Free candy? HOW COULD I MISS THAT?! R.R

A scholar, eh? Good. I'm growing very weary of incompetent idiots.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. It's tiring, isn't it? ^^

Who are you?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

I'm Kadaj. I... like to live a free and unfettered lifestyle, you could say.

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

Hey! It's too bad you did, the party was a lot of fun. I'm Demyx.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

So you come and go, doing as you please. Well, as long as the work gets done who says you can't have a bit of fun? ^^

I'm Malik. A scholar, as you said.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

I know. But mama used to say candy would rot my teeth.

I'm Malik, like I said to the man above. A happy worker, that's me.

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

Happy is always a good thing! What do you work at?

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

I can't say that. My associate would have me killed. XD

Well, he wouldn't, but I work in a place specialising in terraforming and biological research. We aim to improve the planet upon which we live - it's always been our dream.

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

Wow. Sounds interesting. I hope your lab is a little easier to work in than the one where I used to help out, though.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

It's a little dusty in parts, but it's still my home. What manner of research were you involved in?

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

Oh, mainly stuff on the heart and emotions and that sort of thing. Vexen was horrible to work for.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Would such work involve memories?

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

I. Wasn't involved in that project, but yes.

Why?

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Yes. I like the way you put it there. That's about right.

What's your area of expertise?

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

I... it's a personal reason. I lost somebody very dear to me, you see...

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

Really. And that has to do with, with memory? And hearts?

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Biology. Specifically, biochemistry and developmental biology. Including life development.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

The memory, soul, is what makes a person. So far, my experiments have been successful in all but that one area. The one person who loved me, and I can do nothing for her in return.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's rather interesting. So people just grow up normally on your world?

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

...Huh. We call it a heart, where all the memory and emotions and stuff are.

So you don't know what to do if it's gone either, huh.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Mmm, that they do. The planet rejects us, so we'll change the planet to suit our needs.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

The... what? The planet rejects you? Why?

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

So we both fall short of getting the one thing we wish for above all else...

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

One of those universal things. Ehh.

What happened to your one person?

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Oh, we were involved in an accident one day and the place, well, blew up. ^^

We used a special fluid considered to be the 'blood' of the planet to heal our bodies, and we were rejected and started to decay. Some more than others. It happens in biology all the time, really, I guess.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

She died.

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

...this is going to sound awful, but. It's not as bad as some things. Trust me.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

That is SO true. My planet hates me, too.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Then I share your sentiment. Have a nice day. ^^

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

Mama died. The one person who loved me, and she isn't around to see the man I am. Trust me. I know some things can be bad. Hahaha. ^^

[kicktothebeat.livejournal.com]

At least she only died.

[shinra-sucks.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I like you. I think we'll get along.

[xbook-loverx.livejournal.com]

What do you mean, only? T.T
