Disclaimer: I do not own any Ghost in the Shell. That is proudly owned by Shirow Masamune. This goes for both the original and Stand Alone Complex. Nor do I own any characters created by the Wachowski Brothers. However, I do own this piece of drivel, three chapters with no ending in sight. Scary, but actually beginning to have a plot.
The Secret
Diary of Motoko – Modified 4/28/05
Chapter 3:
(I decided that
ASCII was too complicated, may go with an eight-bit binary
system)
Yet again, if I catch you hacking this diary, you will
wish that we still had the death penalty.

Well, found out why you should never lock a Tachikoma in the
compound for the night. They hold grudges. Won't come when
called, ordered, or pleaded with. WON'T save your butt when you're
in a jam. The only way to get back in their good graces is
WacDonald's Apple Pies. Flowers would have been cheaper.

Came home tonight to a horrendous mess. One damned window in
my cube, and someone broke in through it and tossed my bed. Called
the police, then realized I WAS the police. Filed the report under
"domestic terrorism," that might have been a little over
the top.

Togusa let me stay with him last night. One little burglary
and the big tough police bitch becomes all soft and shivery. One of
the few things I cannot stand about myself. Damned Ghost can't
seem to forget what it's like to have mortality. On a lighter
note, Togusa snores, really loudly. Not that I would normally take
advantage of someone who is doing me a favor…but he is still up by
one.

Not only do I feel violated; but this bastard took 1 of my
favorite pairs of shoes. Not 1 pair, 1 damn shoe. Now I'm going
to have to spend valuable time looking for another set of my favorite
shoes. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find genuine Doc
Marten MP boots in a Size 3 mens?

Have decided that when I find the asshole who broke into my
home, I'm going to fuzz his brain. Not fry it, but fuzz it. Leave
him wallowing in half-in/half-out misery forever. Not brain dead
enough to allow a reboot, but fried enough he won't be able to
function. Asshole took the clips and ammo to my guns, but left the
guns. One is required for the other. I went to pull on someone
today, and if Battou hadn't been there, I'd have died.

Ko is freaking my shit out. It'll turn and "stare" at
something. I look, there's nothing there. It goes back to its
normal programming, than suddenly stares at that spot again. I'm
already a little unsettled about my cube, this isn't
helping.

Episode 70 of the human batteries. That little twerp we put
in Bellevue last month has friends. Apparently we have quite a cult
of delusionals who think they are batteries. Some chick who going by
the name Trinity (as in the religious, or because she thinks she
exists in 3 places?), ran into me at the club. Looked interesting
until she started whispering about how she knew that I was searching.
Big light over my head, I think Battou could see it across town.
I'd heard that before. When I turned to question her about her
apparent insanity, she was gone. Why do I feel like this one is
going to come back to haunt me?

Got to talking with a real cutie today. However, the surprise
was on me. Not who I was expecting. Neo was the name, should have
known by the lack of hips and ass. But from the back, and looking at
the way he walked… Oh well. Guess what the best part is… he's
one of those battery cult people. Yippie, skippie!

I feel like a third wheel at the Togusa household. His wife
is a wonderful woman, but I just don't feel like I fit in to their
idea of suburban bliss. Plus, the demon in my head made me say
something about Togusa's snoring habit, which got me a cross-wise
glare from the little lady of the house. Since she's obviously
pregnant, and hormonal to boot, I don't need to be adding stress to
her life. I told Togusa I was going to be out of their house by the
end of the week.

Going to be going off-line for a few. Doing some zoning to
discover what I can about this battery cult. Batou is going to watch
my bod while I'm gone (it took forever to get him to promise not to
touch it). Who knows, maybe I'll run into someone cute.
A/N: Modified to correct a major OOC issue with Togusa. It was not my aim to alter the characters that severely, not even for humor.-TK
