Immortality Built of Children's Pain

by CheerUpSleepyJean

In an old building out of the sun's reach, a group of children waits for a vistor to come and play. Who are they? Why are they here? Read, and discover the legend if you dare. Based on the Vocaloid song "Circle You, Circle You."

1. Chapter 1

A/N: Inspired by "Kagome, Kagome" and the Creepypasta for that song, here is a rewrite of that horrific story. I do not own Vocaloid, and the main authors of the original Creepypasta are Psybox and LOLSKELETONS. Read if you dare.

Entry 1:
Inside cold white walls, our chairs arranged in a circle, we listen intently to the NSDAP's leading medical researcher. Today, my fellow scientists and I will embark our journey into the depth of the human mind. As our project leader explains, our mission is to cure the brain of its inborn flaw: the need to die.
"In theory, all human brains are equipped with what we call a 'kill switch,' which initiates a shutdown sequence of bodily functions during middle age. Over decades, the body continues to break down until death. This idea is supported by our research on Werner's Syndrome, which we have hypothesized to be the result of a kill switch activating too early."
Slides flicker by on the projector, the dim slides barely visible under the bright hospital lighting. We view images of bisected skulls and soggy brains as the briefing continues.
"Your duty henceforth is to locate the kill switch in the brain, and to find a way to safely remove it. The Nazi party will provide unlimited test subjects. Are there any questions?"
One hand went up in the back.
"Yes?"
"Sir, won't the kill switch removal be ineffective if it has been activated, since the breakdown sequence will have already begun?"
Our new leader shut off the projector with a small "click."
"Indeed. That is why, for the purpose of avoiding this issue, all of your tests subjects will be children."

We began work in the former orphanage in the Black Forest. Our first shipment of children—subjects—are coming today. The project was delayed for thirty-six hours; my superiors had originally planned to use Jews, but determined at the last second that they were too delicate after their time in the camps, and would die in surgery. Fortunately for the project, our ally, Japan, has shipped in the offspring of rebellious citizens.
I have chosen to record the names of the test subjects. After all, they will be the future of the world—the first to achieve immortality.
They'll be legend:
Yuki Kaai, age 5
Neru Akita, age 9
Luka Megurine, age 12
Rin Kagamine, age 6
Len Kagamine, age 6
Gakupo Kamui, age 12
Teto Kasane, age 7
Meiko Sakine, age 10
Haku Yowane, age 9
Miku Hatsune, age 8
Kaito Shion, age 12
