009- [phone] Practical considerations....

[springtime4me]

[Hitler has been nowhere to be found since Christmas, but he did leave presents under the tree for his not!family. For Nigel there is a junior chemistry set, which he figures the kid can use in that weird spy game he's always playing. It's just adorable how he's always sneaking around pretending to be a secret agent or something....  Sideswipe gets a first aid kit and a book on basic health and medicine, because it seems like he gets hurt a whole lot. Maybe it's because he isn't used to having a human body.... And there is even a gift for drone!mom. She gets a sewing kit to replace the one that he's been using since he got there. There is also a shiny new bunker on the front lawn.]

[Hitler has been sitting in that bunker for the better part of two days. He isn't stupid. He knows exactly what he has to do. And it's probably what he should do. The town was probably trying to teach him a lesson about believing that he could escape who and what he was. Believing that he could make friends and have a life of his own. He didn't deserve any of that. But.... did he really deserve this? To die the way his original did? Was there no way to escape fate? He had prayed for answers, clutching his Almighty Dolly tightly, like a lifeline. But none came.  Maybe now it's time to accept his fate......

So he picks up the gun, and the phone, and makes one last call. This call is for purely practical reasons, but he can't quite keep his voice steady.]

He- hello? Umm..... I was just wondering...... If.... someone was going to k-kill themselves, with a gun, what would be the least painful way?

But it has to be a gun. That's the way my original died...

[He's surprised that this guy recognized the term. Perhaps he'd been talking to some of the other clones in town...]

But still... being a copy of someone else.... isn't there a responsibility to own up to what my original did?
