*this is not a song that anyone in the mansion might know--it's a song of John's composing, the overture to his musical about Houdini. he's trying to make a key change work, and having only partial success*

*pauses, considering--passing over the elves for a second* Who are the German children, precisely?

Mlle. Ilse and her friend, Wendla. There are the boys, as well, but I never can remember their names. One of them killed Price Paul a few weeks ago.

*wracks his brain--he remembers one play with those names very precisely, though, because he was startled to find a play with gay content from so long ago--* Would the boys be named Melchior, Moritz, and--damn, what were the gay ones' names--Ernst and Hans, Hansel ... Hanschen. Are those their names?

*thinks a moment with a faraway look in his eyes* Yes, that's them. I know the M ones... Moritz and Melchior. I met them briefly anyway.

*a helpless sort of laugh* The characters of Hamlet. God. It wasn't one of Buzz's jokes--

Because the characters of Hamlet are dead--and fictional. *shakes his head* I'm beginning to doubt my own reality.

Don't do that. *small smile* Rather, trust our reality.

*Armand: the anti-Terisa* What is this place? Honestly--what is it?

I've talked to people about this. Even recently when I can remember clearly. It's... a place between places. It's not England or France or America or... where the cat lady comes from. But it's just as real. Time doesn't mean anything here. Maybe... fiction doesn't either. *frowns at that last*

Ah. A sort of-- *he's trying to remember and can't, simply can't, something like this in the Chronicles of Narnia* --back-alley, between times and places?

That sounds like a good way to put it. *nods* I honestly try not to think about it. It's a lot of trouble, but I'm one of the people who can get back home. I just have more here now than I do there. For example, here, I'm not wanted for treason.

And here, a far smaller proportion of my acquaintances despise me. *wry* I can see that the place has advantages.

Where else can a man marry a man and then start a family?

*coolly* Denmark, I've heard.

They've got some kind of marriage on the books there--what kind, exactly, I'm not sure. I'm not a Dane, nor particularly interested in marriage.

And then can they have children?

Adopt children, at least. I haven't heard of any Danish men turning into women, so I doubt they can give birth.

That's what Chris did. He was a woman for more than 10 months. We didn't quite ask for it, but it was a miracle we took advantage of. He didn't want me to risk the pregnancy.

*raises his eyebrows* I'll bear that in mind, should I ever be changed into a woman. Thank you for the warning.

What would you do if you wanted children and didn't have any other way?

From: [identity profile] john-ofdarkness.livejournal.com
I'd look for a friendly adoption agency, or a young woman having a child that she didn't want. I don't want children, though--I do consider your words a warning.

There were reasons I wanted the child to be my own if we could manage it. Chris wanted me to be happy.

You needn't defend your choice simply because it isn't mine. Congratulations to you both. Honestly.

Typist: I need to get to bed now. ^_^; Have a good night, and thank you for sticking around!
