[Audio] Whoever you are? She sounds like your mother...or what you imagine your mother sounded like.

Hello everyone, It's nice to meet you. I'm your Other Mother, but if you wish you could simply call me Mother, or Mommy, Mom...I don't like Ma very much it sounds rather rough don't you think? Mama is lovely though.

Of coarse Mother.

That's my dear sweet Keramon, he's such a good boy.

Thank you Mother.

Now where was I? Oh yes. It breaks my heart to think of how this world has stolen you all away from your families. So many of you must feel very alone. Even with the families you've made here there really is no substitute is there?

Well, if any of you need anything, if you want to talk or need a hug, a warm meal a light snack, maybe you'd like to play a game?

Mother Loves games.

I do very much. And I love all of you. I can't wait to meet you all and I hope you'll visit me soon.

[dryly] I'm on a diet. Thanks.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

Oh dear I'm sorry I didn't know.

Well I wish you luck on your diet, are you trying to lose weight or firm up?

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

[none of your damn business--]

Lose weight. Too many sweets. My sister likes baking a lot.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

That's very nice of her though. Food is such a wonderful way to show you love someone.

Perhaps if you ask she may substitute some of the ingredients for something a little more...slimming? There are many ways to bake a cake after all.

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

Just an observation, though. You might be comin' on a little strong. [Greg is guessing ulterior motive here, but he won't say that out loud just yet]

Most of the kids around here that have lost parents or left them behind are pretty damn sensitive about it. It's usually a sore subject, and offering yourself up as a replacement is likely going to be met with a lot of screaming and upset.

I can only be what I am sweetheart. I offer myself for what I exist to be. It is heartbreaking, but I do what I can.

If it helps don't think of me as a replacement, simply a placeholder. Does that make you more comfortable?

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

Lady, I'm thirty seven years old. I don't need a replacement mother. I could barely deal with how over protective my own mom was back home.

Don't get me wrong, I miss my parents like hell, but I'm kinda busy being a DATS agent and father in my own right.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

I can't help what I am dear, I was simply trying to help make it less uncomfortable for you.

It brings warmth to my heart to know that not all families were broken up by the cruel fate that brought us here. Children rarely appreciate their parents till they're older but at least you don't have to endure the heartache of being separated from them.

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

I'm not uncomfortable. I'm completely put off by the bullshit your spouting out. No one says crap like that unless they got some ulterior motive, and lady, you are giving me the squickiest damn feeling I've had about anybody in months.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that sweetheart. If there's anything I can do to help I will I promise. I promise you that my only motive is to help and love those who need it. After all why else would I have been brought here?

My only reason to exist is to comfort those who need it.

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

Whatever. You're so completely full of it.

Stay away from me and my family. If I hear you even lay a FINGER on one of them I will bring down the full force of DATS on your head.

[beldambuttons.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what DATS is but I surely don't wish to anger you.

Please, I hope you'll feel better in time. There's nothing to worry about.

[whoshotsherlock.livejournal.com]

Too late.
