[Lust hasn't been on the public network in nearly a month. But now that she's home and settled, she remembers she had plans before her life was temporarily uprooted. Time to get back to those.]

Was anyone still interested in helping me with that radio show I mentioned at the start of summer?

Halloween's coming up before much longer, I thought perhaps we could do something for the holiday. Spooky stories are all part of the celebration, after all.

I have a handful of ideas for plots.

[Dare he ask?]

N-New to what?

My current existence. I was human, once, but I died and was remade with science.

[Forgive him, he's just going to silently stare at Lust, face stuck in a frozen scream. T-That's the kind of stuff you see in a movie. A monster movie.

Eventually he gathers up enough willpower to say something.]

A-ARE YOU FRANKENSTEIN?!

[Did I say "say?" I meant shout obnoxiously.]

....No. I'm Lust.

I'm a homunculus. Or...was, I'm human here. Why are you so shocked, you're some sort of magical bear!

A hom-a-numma-what now?

[IS THAT SOME KIND OF FRANKENSTEIN? IT SOUNDS LIKE SOME KIND OF FRANKENSTEIN.]

You don't get it! Sure, I may not be normal, but I was the only not normal person I knew back home who didn't wanna kill people! You got no idea how scary that sounds, you don't kill people, do you?!

A homunculus. A created human. That's why I was asking you how you made your human body.

[Well, she doesn't kill people anymore.]

I perform in the circus. I'm an acrobat. I haven't harmed a hair on a single living thing in this world.

O-Okay, t-that's good.

[That's apparently all he needs to hear and he begins to calm himself down.]

Wowie, what a rush. Sorry about that, I just never heard about creating humans. ...But I guess they gotta come somewhere.

[Teddie...Teddie doesn't know where babies come from.]

I mighta jumped the gun there.

I have references.

It's not often done in my world, it's considered a grave sin. But it doesn't matter now anyway, I'm here and I'm human and I was mostly human already. Homunculi aren't very different.

Naturally they come from other humans. Though...I suppose I did, too. It was a human who did it.

Huh... I came from humans, too... I guess it's not so weird after all.

But then...if it's such a big ol' sin, then you wouldn't be here, right? God wouldn't have let you happen if you weren't 'spose to be here, that's just how it works.

[Teddie also has a poor understanding of religion.]

I don't believe in a god that cares about that sort of thing. Man makes sin, no one else. Men decided it was an evil and foul blasphemy. God's never said one word about it.

Huh, I guess you're right... God doesn't say a whole lot, does he? Nngh, that's a hard one.

God says plenty, just not with words.

Huh? Whadda mean? How can you say stuff without any words?

In the design of existence, and the function of nature. God speaks in every action. But little of it matters to an individual life.

[That totally goes over Teddie's head and he knows it. So he can only smile for right now, nodding his head.]

You talk just like a poem.

Thank you.

The point is that we can't understand it anyway, all we can do is try.

Oh, I like that one! That's a great one! There's nothing wrong with trying!

...Unless it's stock duty.

It's all anyone can do. Sometimes we fail, but sometimes we don't.

Oh?
