Man: ......
Voice: Heloooo anybody home?
Man: ......
Voice: Ah you’re ignoring me. Come here... c’mon over here. On the shelf.
Man: ......
Man: I’m busy; I’ll do with you later.
Voice: Should you... say... act a little surprised or impressed or something?
Man: You gonna give me something if I do?
Voice: You don’t get scared easily huh? I like that. What’s your name?
Man: Number 23.
Voice: 23? I want a name not a number.
Man: Don’t have one. I’m just a slave.
Voice: A slave... “Humans with no rights or freedom who are bought, sold and exchanged between other humans in legal conveyance,” right?
Man: Con- what –ance?
Voice: “The transfer of ownership rights to an outside party.”
Man: Tr- Huh?
Voice: Boy, you’re stupid.
Man: Screw you!!
Voice: You know... I have no idea why I’m like this, or how I came to be. It must’ve been you, who gave me his blood.
Man: Blood? Yea when master was experimenting, he did take a lot of blood.
Voice: Then you are the one who gave me life. You have my gratitude. Uh... “23” sounds cold, why don’t I give you a name, as thanks?
Man: Who do you think you are, anyway?
Voice: Who cares? It’ll be a great name, I promise. Let’s see... Theo... Theofilatos Bombastus...
Man: Way too long.
Voice: Right, right, you’re stupid, you won’t be able to remember anything long.
Man: Quit calling me stupid!!
Voice: Okay... Van...
Man: “Van Hoenheim...” I think I can remember that.
Voice: It’s spelled... actually can you read or write?
Man: Nope, but I can do my work just fine.
Voice: Then you’ll be stuck here forever! Don’t you wish for freedom, for liberty, Hoenheim?
Man: ......
Voice: Will you live your life to the end as slave, bound to others, with no rights of your own? Trapped in a web, left to rot, dying with your freedom stolen and no knowledge or experience of the vast world we live in? Because that’s the same as living in a flask, as I do. Knowledge is to be treasured. It is true power – the only way to live a life without becoming a burden to others. The way a slave like you, can escape his shackles.
Man: ......
Voice: I can give you knowledge, Van Hoenheim.

Good morning peeps.
Raspberry candies anyone?
I'm packed with sugar.
Finals drawing near, and I'm still like doing nothing here. I promise I'll start studying soon enough. Something is so going wrong with my USB ports... and I'll need to get some technicians to fix them before I can print. Argh. It's all ruining my mood /.\"
I think sugar is good for me =X
