Tezuka. Rin Tezuka. Tezuka Rin.

I wonder how many times I'll have to say it before it stops sounding like the name of somebody I just met.



[Action]

[Enough faffing around the apartments! Rin is now outside, shock and alarm. Her main activity?]

[Staring at the wall.]

[No, seriously. She's surrounded by paint supplies, next to a nice big paintable wall, ideal muraling space. But she isn't painting anything. She's just standing there, looking at it. What a weirdo.]

[If you're around particularly late in the day, you might catch her actually doing a little painting. But not much. Definitely not enough to be able to tell what it's a painting of.]

[This is going to take a while.]

I'm pretty sure chopping it up like dominoes and rearranging it isn't going to help that, you know.

[planet_rin]

But maybe there's a specific way I tended to say it.

[third_alternative]

They all sound the same to me! You sure you're doing this right?

[planet_rin]

I don't think I'm really sure about anything.

[third_alternative]

Not even your name?

[planet_rin]

I'd have to trust my memories to be sure of that.

[third_alternative]

You don't?

[planet_rin]

I barely remember anything, and when I do, none of it even feels real. The only memories I have that feel like they're mine are the ones from the last two weeks.

Mokona says Mokona's name a lot, like this!

Maybe if Rin tried it too, it would help.

[planet_rin]

I said it a lot of times this morning.

[mokomanjuu]

Did Rin count them?

[planet_rin]

Nope.

[mokomanjuu]

If you say a word enough, it starts to sound funny, anyway!

Rin Tezuka~

Rin Tezuka~

Rin Tezuka~

[planet_rin]

It's sounding less and less like a real name now. This is a serious dilemma.

[mokomanjuu]

Really? Mokona's getting used to it!

[planet_rin]

At least somebody is.

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona's full name sounds even funnier when you say it a lot.

Mokona Modoki, Mokona Modoki, Mokona Modoki~

[wandering pas--what's that chick up to? he sees paints and brushes and crap, but she's just standing there staring at the wall... he's curious, as he is about most things, and walks up to tilt his head slightly at the wall]

What're you doing?

[planet_rin]

[Rin slooowly rotates to face Ed, wearing one of her usual hard-to-read expressions.]

I am trying to paint. It is not working.

[alchemygeek]

[Fullmetal stuffs his hands in his pockets]

What're you trying to paint?

[planet_rin]

I don't know. I'm not trying to paint something, I'm trying to paint. It feels like trying to teach myself how to swim when all I have is one of those kiddie pools.
