004- [Voice/ drone filter]

Hello, everyone. This is Hitler.

[He pauses, wondering how to phrase this request.]

There was something I was curious about in regards to the droning process.  I was wondering if anyone would mind helping me with a small experiment. I promise it won't be complicated or take up too much of your time.

When you comin' over?

Well, it'd sure help if you didn't have the same name...

Sorry, I tried to call you. I'll try again.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

All clones are named after their originals.

My phone was in my car 'cos I'm dumb. I hope you feel better :(

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

...Do they have to be?

Is okay. <3

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Ummm....yes.

It's a school rule.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

The school names you?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Yes. They name everyone after their originals.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well that doesn't seem fair. Why can't you live your own lives?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Because....um...

[He really doesn't know. The idea is rarely addressed.]

We're supposed to cooperate with the teachers, I guess. It's their experiment.

[Don't think about Marie Curie. The teachers totally didn't just take her out back and shoot her 'cause she hated science. They just sent far away to a music school where she's very happy but can never contact any of us ever again. Shiro's dad wouldn't lie. Like we all know he did.]

Your teachers don't sound like very nice people.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

No, they're really very kind. They've been looking after us our whole lives.

They've always had our best interests at heart.

[He wants to believe this. Very very badly.]

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

You just said you're an experiment! That doesn't sound like they care about you at all!

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Well, I am a subject in an experiment. That's simply a fact of my existence. But the people running the experiment have been very generous and very kind.

Even to those of us who don't deserve it...

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Who says you don't deserve it? Did they tell you that? Or do you honestly think that? I mean... your name is the same as a man who did lots of bad things, but have you ever done anything to deserve being treated badly?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

I have to take responsibilty for what I am.

And it's more than just my name. Genetically speaking, I'm an exact copy.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you did any of the same things. I mean, you seem pretty nice to me.

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Miss. That's a very kind thing for you to say, and I appreciate it. I really do.

But..... All clones have a burden passed to them by their originals. Some are heavier than others, but we can't just cast them aside for our own convenience.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I just don't understand why it has to be that way.
