A/N: Hi, everyone! It's been a while, hasn't it?
Yes, this is a Vocaloid fic. Even though it's not official, each of the Vocaloids has a distinct personality to me. I daydream up stories about them as easily as stories about anything else. In fact, in some ways it's easier- I can put them in all kinds of situations and worlds without feeling that I'm writing an AU story. (There's nothing wrong with those, of course, they just aren't my style.)
This fic is my attempt at an unconventional first-person narration. I have no clue how well it will turn out, or how long I'll stay interested in this idea, so I'd like to apologize in advance if this dies after one or two chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own, so please don't sue.

A/N: Gasp, a cliffhanger! (Sorry, it was just a natural stopping point.) Any thoughts on chapter one? I was worried that the format might be a little confusing, so I'd appreciate some feedback on that.
