Tartaria, chapter 53 Fillmoon. (Полная Луна)

Ruvim Pechor (Рувим Печор) is personage of Utopia «Tartaria».
Vitalina Pechor is daughter of Ruvim Pechor and his ex-wife Nata.
Vitalina is mentioned at the end of Chapter 11
One episode of Vilatina's life at Komi is described below.

Vitalina at Komi: previous events and spoiler

For serious and dangerous faults, Ruvim Pechor is sentenced to two years of penal servitude. As a temporal property, Ruvim is sold to Murka, then to Norga. Mozdok Tsuker becomes master of Ruvim Pechor and his ex-wife Nata Kiskin. Mozdok sends Ruvim to look after the two Century Heaters at the Century Heater Testing Laboratory near the small village Amonalka in farm Komi.

Then Mozdok sells Ruvim to another farm, and hires Vitalina Pechor for handling of the Century Heater Testing Laboratory.

The Century Heaters are designed to require no human attention during a hundred years. But Vitalina maintain the garden at the Greenhouse, trying to improve that Ruvim did.

The power of the two Century Heaters is not sufficient to warm the Century Heater Testing Laboratory; Vitalina has to collect wood in the forest and to operate the wood stoves. Also, Vitalina has to maintain the fermentation tank, that converts the biologic trash to gas, ethanol and fertilizer for the garden.

The equipment of the cottage includes also the wind generator, the solar panels and the fermentation tank, that converts the biologic trash to gas, ethanol and fertilizer for the garden. Vitalina cannot provide the maintenance of all this staff by herself; she has to invite the specialists from Amonalka.

Vitalina still have a lot of free time. Vitalina wants to get pregnant in order to give light to a child and to let her baby to enjoy the garden in the greenhouse. Gradually, Vitalina gets involved to the indecent, obscene customs of Amonalka.

While Vitalina works at Komi, Ruvim served his sentence, was released, and returned to Galia. Vitalina still upsets with Ruvim, so, she does not communicate him. Vitalina enjoys her success among the local barbarians. First, it was funny. Then Vitalina felt that something is missed. And she called Ruvim. They talk in Russian.

Boss

- Ruvim pro, I have cancelled the Monday's seminar. You may go to Komi right now. I ordered Indira, she will substitute you. I mean, the general organization. But you should prepare assignments for students few days ahead. Do you understand?

- We need to keep good relation with Komi. They need to feel us as a solid friendly partner. Try to do your best.

- This time is special because Vitalina is foreigner. And it is important that she is with relatives. I already sent message to Norga. Do you remember Nozdok Tsuker?

- Yes, of course. "Slave", "Master" is Slang. We need to be polite.. Well, I am almost sure that Tsuker sends Nata Kiskin for at least one day to Komi. Then Nata may stay at Vitalina. Try not to get exhausted before the Fillmoon fiesta. Can you hold until the fiesta starts?

- I am sure, Nata will also get the instructions. You are not barbarians to make love on the sly. You are Resident of Tartaria. You should be proud and behave as Tartarian. Do you understand?

- So, prepare assignments for students, and you may go. After fiesta, you may stay one day more with your ex-relatives.. Well, stay there until you recover; then come back.

Before departure, you may give kiss to Indira. In any place she likes. But only kiss. Keep yourself for the Fillmoon.

Ruvim left from the boss office. His heart was beating wildly, but Ruvim found forces to prepare the assignments. Indira Brahmin come to Ruvim's office and got from Ruvim instructions and several tender kisses in various parts of her body. But only kisses. Then Ruvim called Mozdok Tsuker.

- Ah, Ruvim pro! Congratulations.. Fillmoon is very important event. You may pick Nata up any moment. She already knows.. Do you have a transport?

The two figures were at the "Main Landing", the big one Nata and small one Yuma. Each of them held a bundle in their hands..

- Ruvim, милый, Юма едет с нами. - Nata exclaimed, - Моздок разрешил! А это наши детки. Моя Синтиа и Юмина Лапка.

Ruvim did not answer. He remembered his time with Nata and Yuma at Murka. They all could easy die there..

Ruvim closed the cup and pressed option "next". That "next" meant "Komi Amonalka airfield". The Flyer took-off.

At Amonalka, Vitalina was at the landing. She walked into hangar following the Flyer. Vitalina and Ruvim guided Nata and Yuma to the Century Heater Testing Laboratory.

It was small home with the greenhouse joined. They were warmed with two Century heaters designed by Ruvim two years ago. And with the wood-burning stoves that Ruvim had mounted with this own hands.

Stay

Ruvim tested the monitoring system. He walked around the Greenhouse. Then he tested the pipes that delivered the heat-exchanging liquid. Pressure of Helium was slightly increasing, but not dangerous. There was no leak. Since the assembling, the heat power had increased for a percent, all according to the calculus. Nothing interesting. Femistoclus Zalupaev did his job well. However, the two years are not a century. But Li Sistin says, if you want to walk a thousand km, you need to make a first step..

Vitalina showed her Greenhouse. She worked well inside: a lot of tasty vegetables were there.. As for the meat, it was delivered by the Amonallka people; they liked the way Vitalina had treated them. After the Bigpuf, the animals happen to recover faster than Humans.

Shaman came. Vitalina had presented her parents.. well, not parents in the Tartaric sense, but biologic parents and relatives who were to play roles of parents at the Fillmoon fiesta.

All the day, some habitants of village Amonalka had visited "Parents of Miss Fillmoon" bringing various staff: from pampers to wine, for the four slaves.. Oops, sorry, shat a slang! To say politely - for the four Dependants of Owner Mozdok Tsuker: one - big and again fat - Nata Kiskin Void; one - a little bit smaller, muscular and lean - Yuma Hahalev Void, and two very small - Cintia Kiskin Mozdok and Lapka Hahalev Mozdok.

There is no age restriction in Tartaria. The small girls were allowed to drink few drops of wine between the sweet tasty milks from tits of Nata and Yuma - in anticipation of even more interesting liquid that will fill the "Moon" at the Fillmoon fiesta.

Similar practice is described in the classical sci-fi novel «Brave New World». In the story by Huxley, the Delta and Epsilon children are allowed to consume ethanol even before they begun to breath. It was not a case of Norga. Mozdok Tsuker wants his Property, his Dependents to be smart, strong and healthy. Even if he decides to sell some of them at the Dependent Market, he can get some hundreds funs for each of the small girls. Mozdok forbad Nata and Yuma to drink liquids with ethanol, as soon as he noticed that both are pregnant. However since the baby is born, it has sense: the ethanol, being consumed in reasonable amount, slows-down the growth; at the same age, in general, small girls have higher price than the big ones. Mozdok Tsuker was a skilled businessman.

Fillmoon

It was April; not so cold as in winter, but Amonalka was still covered by snow, the Century Heater Testing Laboratory too.

The Ritual Dom was not far. It was made of several layers of glass with windmill at top. The solar panels were placed between the glasses - to get some extra power during the summer, while the Sun appears above the horizon.

The view of the Moon (at sky) does not depend so much on the season as the view of Sun. The huge space inside the Ritual Dom, and the good thermal isolation, and the ritual fire inside allowed to serve the Fillmoon Fiesta each lunar month. It was so during many generations, and nobody could say, when the first "Moon" had been filled at Amonalka. The custom of the Fillmoon fiesta at Amonalka was believed to be so old as Amonalka itself; apparently, even since the past, 21th century.

After the creation of Tartaria, all the names were transliterated from Russian Cyrillics to their ascii analogies. There was discussion, for to call the «Праздник Полной Луны»: «Prasdnik Polnoi Luny», or «Full moon Fiesta» or «Fillmoon Fiesta». The last option won. However, many habitants of Amonalka and other villages of the Farm still use Russian words, even with English grammar rules, and the name «Праздник Полной Луны» plays with all its ambiguity for the foreigners - if they, looking or the prehistoric exotic, come to Komi in order to see the magic ritual, or even to participate in it.

The western civilizations do not know so much about the «Fillmoon Fiesta»; the direct video translations and the loading of the archive records from the Tartaria Libraries are prohibited in the most of civilized countries. The descriptions are censored. In such a way, the Western citizen searching for information about the «Fillmoon Fiesta» can know only that it is horrible. For few percent of bored bon-vivants, such an intrigue is sufficient to pay the attention. Most of them did not even try to analyze the information, because it is better to see, than to read. And even better to participate. Especially, if the Main Role at this fiesta was offered to a female for free.

Some gender equality activists attempted to explore what they considered an important question: why is the Shaman is always a man, and Fillmoon always a woman? In practice, their interests never extended beyond newspaper sensations, and they always came to the same conclusion:"barbaric country, barbaric customs". No details are available, in order not to offend the senses of a deeply religious consumer of information. From time to time, some foreign women participated in the Fillmoon fiesta, and sometimes in the role of the Fillmoon.

Roughly, once per a year some bored women, exploring Tartaria, express her will to participate the fiesta in role of the Fillmoon, without to enter the detailed of the ceremony. The only such a tourist can get from the censored booklets is, that the ceremony is barbarian, but the main participant, the Fillmoon, is highly respected both, before the ceremony and after it. The tourist agreed to drink the ritual liquid, to take out her clothes, to get covered with ritual oil and to be fixed at the stage with very soft (and in this sense comfortable) leather belts. The rest did not depend on this tourist.

The ritual lasts many hours, and organizers try to provide maximal comfort for the foreigner "Fillmoon". The continuation of the ritual did not depend on the "Fillmoon"; but she was treated with maximal tenderness and wilderness several hours in row, until she lost the continence, lost consciousness and sometimes even after that. At the awaking, the victims was still a little bit hallucinating, and she was offered the breast milk from volunteers - those who already had feed their small babies and had to spend some milk in order to prepare the fresh portion for the next feeding of their sons or daughters. After the Bigpuf, babies often used to die soon after the birth; and their mothers, if the lactation continued, use their milk to feed the Fillmoon. After that, the Fillmoon has been treated as a newborn child. Indeed some of foreign participants felt as if they become a ten years younger after the trip to Tartaria.

There is apparent contradiction in this interpretation: the newborn participant would correspond better the New Moon than the Full moon. The discussion of this contradiction distracts the attention from other details of the ceremony.

Most of fillmoons, after to return from the trip to Tartaria, do not reveal the details of this action; so, the Fillmoon fiesta remains one of the most mysterious ceremonies of Tartaria and, perhaps one of the most mysterious ceremonies of the world.

All the above does not apply to Vitalina. She succeeded to see the details of the Fillmoon fiesta even beeing in the USA, bypassing the prohibitions.

Vitalina was bargaining with the Shanan, negating both the hallucinogen beverage and the "soft belts":

- "I want to see the action in normal, not squeezed view! I want to embarrass all the partners with hands and with legs. We do not need all this staff!"

Ruvim had supported the conditions by Vitalina. Shaman agreed. Yuma had shaved Vitalina before the ceremony. It was also deviation from the usual procedure, but Shaman did to complain.

The Tuesday came. Vitalina did not eat the breakfast she had cooked for her family:

- "I do this my first time, I'm not so skillful in blowjob, I afraid to vomit", - she explained.

Shaman came. He said only "The time". He brought Vilainna, Rivim and Nata and Yuma with their babies to the Ritual Dom.

Vitalina undressed and put her head into the pot with the oil. Both actions were violations of the common procedure; it was supposed to be done by volunteers. Shaman and other people at Amonalka believed, that the sensing, feeling and filling are more important than traditions.

Ruvim realized that they did not discuss the roles of Nata and Yuma. Ruvim approached Shaman:

Cintia and Lapka were offered the set places neat the Altar, at side of the can with the oil. Soon they found the oil and begun to play it lubricating each other.

Shaman struck the tambourine and begin his dance. The participants joined the dance.

Ruvim was a little bit disappointed. He had participated in such an action once, but that time, there were only few participants in the fiesta. This time, the view of the main action was shadowed by participants who approached the altar, many at once, to "fill the Moon". The action seemed to be endless. Nata and Yuma tried to help Vitliana in all ways they could. Few times, Nata and Yuma gave breast to Cynthia and Lapka, without to stop their actions. Few times volunteers used to clean Cyntina and Lapka from their poop and urine. En fin, Shaman touched Ruvim:

Ruvim approached. Vitalina was widely open and slippery. Shaman helped Nata to sat at Vitalina just in front of Ruvim. Rivim did not see much, but he guessed that the "Fillmoon" does to her mother. Cynthia and Lapka, suspend by volunteers, drank milk from tits of Nata. Nata had a lot of milk there. Yuma, kneeling before the Shaman, was preparing him for the final accord.

Ruvim finished, and would fall down, but the volunteers caught him. Shaman left Yuma and replaced Ruvim. Nata begum to cry with loud voice. Vitalina too. Perhaps Shaman brought her some pain. Yuma took Cintia and Lapka from Nata.

- "Плодитесь и размножайтесь! Во имя Бога-отца, Сына и Святого Духа - Аминь!"

Ritual Dom exploded with applauses. Vitalina lay silently. Yuma approached Ruvim, keeping Sintia and Lapka, and asked:

The protocol of the ritual was broken again. Instead of to let Vitalina to sleep in the Ritual Dom, Shaman took the main participants - Filledmoon, Nata, Yuma (she kept Cintia and Lapka in hands) and Ruvim to the Shaman's car. Shaman delivered them to the Century Heater Testing Laboratory and dropped them into the spa. The spa was not designed for six persons, but Cynthia and Lapka were really small. Shaman helped to wash out the oil from Cintia and Lapka. Then he did the same with Vitalina. En fin, Vitalina was totally clean, and Shaman brought her to the bed, to Cintia and Lapka.

The small girls awoke, found the tits of Vitalina and begun to suck her. There was no milk there, but it did not stop the enthusiasm of Cintia and Lapka. They already had eaten enough milk, they wanted just practice their small jaws. It was painful. Then Nata joined them and saved Vitalina from the pain. Nata's nipples were really strong.

- Ruvim, I see, you want again.. Please.. I did not get so much at the fiesta.. Yes, Ruvim, I love you.. How long can we stay with Vitalina? ..

Back

Next day, "The Local Magi" brought gifts for the "Filled moon". There were many.

Vitalina wanted Ruvim to take at least some part of them, to transfer them to the bosses - Mozdok Tsuker and Lesli Landov.

There were many handcrafts of natural skin there. They were really good; their quality approached that of the commercial analogies made of plastic and artificial foam.

- Папа, как ты думаешь, вы меня вчера зарядили?

Ruvim returned Nata, Yuma, Cintia and Lapka to their Owner - Mozdok Tsucker. Together with some gifts.

Ruvim returned the Flyer to its Owner - Lesli Landov. Together with some other gifts.

Epilogue

January, Vitalina gave light to a small boy. Contrary to Ruvim's warnings, the boy was healthy. Vitalina gave him name Adam Vitalina Pechor. Talking to Ruvim, Vitalina expressed her upset:

- Папа, ты меня ещё помнишь?	- Dad, do you still remember me?
- Да, типа того. Но ведь ты сказала, что я неудачник.	- Yeah, something like that. But you did say I was a loser.
- Ну, это тогда было. А теперь ты удачник!	- Well, that was back then. But now you're a winner!
- И что?	- So, what?
- Я хочу с тобой встретится.	- I want to meet you.
- Вау..	- Wou..
- Ты не смейся, я сейчас всё объясню.	- Don't laugh, I'll explain everything.
- Классическая фраза. По крайней мере для прошлого века.	- A classic phrase. At least for the last century.
- Не строй из себя старика, маме с тобой было очень хорошо.	- Don't act like an old man; Mom was very happy with you.
- Степенная влиятельная дама покоится на лоне Авраама..	- A dignified, influential Dam// rests at the lone of Abraham...
- Не обижайся на неё, она не хотела.	- Don't be angry with her; she didn't mean to.
- Она всё ещё в Норге?	- Is she still in Norga?
- Да. И я подумала, что мы можем её выкупить.	- Yes. And I thought we could buy her.
- Мдя. «Можем повторить», или как?	- Hmm.. "We can repeat", or how?
- Или как. Она больше не будет.	- Or how. She won't do it again.
- Виталина, как бы тебе объяснить.. Мне одного раза хватило.. Уж если кого выкупать, то лучше Юму. Расторопная и сообразительная деваха. Ты за ней следишь?	- Vitalina, how can I explain this.. Once was enough for me. If I were to buy anyone’s freedom, it would be Yuma. Sharp, quick-witted girl. Are you keeping an eye on her?
- Да, они вместе живут. Так что если выкупать, то обеих.	- Yes, they live together. So if you're going to buy them out, you have to take both.
- Вот Моздок обрадуется..	- Mozdok will be happy...
- Ну ладно, я всё сказала. Подумай.	- Alright, I’ve said everything. Think about it.
- Я подумаю. Спасибо что позвонила.	- I'll think about it. Thanks for calling.
- И тебе спасибо. Ты хороший. Просто ты не знаешь об этом и поэтому делаешь глупости.	- Thank you, too. You’re a good person. You just don’t realize it, and that’s why you do stupid things.
- Спасибо за комплимент.	- Thanks for the compliment.
- Не обижайся.. я потом ещё позвоню.	- Don't be offended... I'll call again later.

- Пап, у меня такое дело.. надо, чтобы ты приехал.	- Dad, there’s something... I need you to come over.
- Что случилось?	- What's happened?
- Пока ничего. Но ты понимаясь, они тут все со всеми. Особенно с родственниками. То есть сплошной инцест.	- Nothing yet. But you understand—everyone here is involved with everyone else. Especially with relatives. I mean, the incest.
- И ты что, тоже хочешь?	- So, do you want the same?
- Да. Они говорят, что это совсем по другому.. То есть гораздо сильнее..	- Yes. They say it’s completely different.. I mean, much stronger..
- А ты видела, кто у них после этого рождается?	- Have you seen what kind of babies they have after that?
- Да, но ведь не все же! Иногда и здоровые рождаются.	- Yes, but that’s not all! Sometimes healthy ones are born.
- Если партнеры из разных семей, то здоровые чаще.	- If the partners are from different families, then the offspring are more likely to be healthy.
- Это только в первом поколении чаще. А я ещё здоровых внуков хочу увидеть.	- That refers only to the first generation. I want to see my healthy grandchildren.
- Для этого тебе нужен здоровый партнёр, который тебе нравится. Так это работает в природе. И в цивилизованных странах тоже.	- For that, you need a healthy partner you like. That’s how it works in nature. And in civilized countries, too.
- Где я в Коми найду такого партнёра?	- Where in Komi can I find such a partner?
- Ищи в другой ферме. Ищи в другой стране.	- Look on another farm. Look in another country.
- Но есть же методы селекции. Инцест, имбридинг..	- But there are breeding methods. Incest, inbreeding...
- То, о чём ты говоришь, называется «Евгеника». Пару веков назад очень популярно было.	- What you're talking about is called "eugenics." It was very popular a couple of centuries ago.

- Высокая детская смертность, это потому что был Бигпуф.		- High infant mortality, that’s because there was Bigpuf.
- Бигпуф усугубил. Но мы можем синтезировать для тебя оплодотворённую яйцеклетку.. Хочешь родить твою генетическую копию?		- Bigpuf made things worse. But we can synthesize a fertilized egg for you.. Do you want to give light to your genetic copy?
- Я так не хочу.		- I don't want this way.
- Можно отредактировать.		- She can be edited.

- Ты не понял. Я хочу по настоящему. Я скоро забеременею. То есть я стараюсь. Здесь много мужиков. Я смотрю, что они делают с женщинами.. Даже с самыми маленькими девочками. В Америке за такое их бы всех посадили на электрический стул..	- You don't get it. I want it to be real. I'll get pregnant soon. I mean, I'm trying. There are a lot of men here. I watch what they do to women... Even to the youngest girls. In America, they’d all be sent to the electric chair for that...
- Зависит от штата.	- It depends on the state.
- По-любому, головке бы не погладили. А тут можно. И даже приветствуется.	- Either state, they would have been punished for it. But here, it’s allowed. Even encouraged.
- Я вижу, ты быстро адаптировалась.	- I see you've adapted quickly.
- Я и раньше смотрела. Из Америки. То есть конечно, было нельзя, но если очень хочется, то можно.	- I used to watch it before, too. From America. I mean, of course, it wasn't allowed; but if you really want to, you can.
- Мдя. А как насчёт ценностей Западной Цивилизации?	- Hmm. And what about the values of Western Civilization?
- Всё! Уже проехали! У нас, то есть не у меня, а в Америке.. Там почти все латинос, хотя и чёрные тоже. Янки несли бремя белого человека, несли и надорвались. А в Европе исламисты.. Если кто без хиджаба, могут камнями забить. Насмерть. То есть латинос всё-таки лучше. Ты что, за новостями совсем не следишь?	- That’s all over and done with! We, well I mean the USA.. There are mostly Latinos there, though there are Black people too. The Yankees bore the "white man's burden"; they carried it until they snapped. Meanwhile, in Europe, you’ve got the Islamists... If a woman isn't wearing a hijab, they might stone her. To death. So, the blacks and the Latinos are actually better. Do you not follow the news?
- Да как-то времени нету.	- Well, I just don't really have time for this.
- А много времени и не надо, я тебе одной фразой сказала.	- It doesn't take much time; I told you in a single phrase.
- По-моему, в Америка всегда так было. Да и в Европе тоже. По крайней мере с прошлого века.	- I think it’s always been that way in America. And in Europe, too. At least since the last century.
- Да, но теперь гораздо ещё.	- Yes, but now even more so.
- И что, цивилизация идёт в Тартарию?	- So, is civilization heading to Tartaria?
- Цивилизация идёт в Тартарары! Потому что Тартария - это страна четвертого мира.. Уже нигде больше давно людей не едят, только в Тартарии.	— Civilization is going to Tartarus! Because Tartaria is a Fourth World country... Nowhere else do people eat each other anymore, but in Tartaria.
- Ну, у нас же тоже не очень едят. Только на похоронах. Это ритуал. Религия. Предки несколько веков ели тело Бога и пили кровь Бога; теперь чуть более цивилизованными стали. Бога уже больше не едят. Потому что прогресс.	- Well, here, the people usually don’t really eat it either. Only at funerals. It’s a ritual. Religion. For centuries, our ancestors ate the body of God and drank the blood of God; now we’ve become a bit more civilized. We don’t eat God anymore. Because of progress.
- Ты издеваешься?	- Are you kidding?
- Я совершенно серьезно. Ты же ела человеческое мясо?	- I’m completely serious. You’ve eaten human flesh, haven’t you?
- Мне пришлось. Я не хотела. Но родственники бы обиделись. А здесь это очень важно, уважать покойников.. На похороны не прийти тоже нельзя было, меня бы не поняли.. А у нас каждый месяц кто-нибудь замерзает. Когда магнитная буря, связи нет; а если еще буран, то кто-нибудь пьяный поехал, или полетел, с чем-нибудь столкнулся, бипер разбил, и сразу не найти, только через несколько дней. Но ты ведь здесь тоже работал, ты же знаешь, как это бывает..	- I had to. I didn’t want to. But my relatives would have been offended. And here, respecting the dead is very important.. I couldn't skip the funeral, either; the people wouldn't have understood.. Out here, someone freezes to death every month. When there’s a magnetic storm, communications go down; and if a blizzard hits on top of that; well, someone might be driving or flying while drunk, crash into something, smash their beacon, and then they can't be found right away—only days later. But you worked here too, you know how it is...
- Да. Бывает так, как ты сказала. Но обычно спасают.	- Yes. Sometimes, it happens just as you said. But usually, the victims of a crash are saved.
- По-моему, это самая дикая дыра во всей Тартарии.	- To my mind, this is the godforsakenest hole in all of Tartaria.
- Но ты же знала, куда едешь?	- But you knew where you were going, didn't you?
- Ну да, знала.. Так ты приедешь?	- Well, yes, I knew... So, are you coming?
- Я постараюсь.	- I will try.
- Приезжай в любое время..	- Come over anytime...
- До свиданья.	- Goodbye.
- Чао!	- Ciao!

- Папа!	- Papa!
- Привет, Виталина!	- Hello, Vitalina.
- Я подала заявку на праздник полнолуния.	- I submitted an application for the Fillmoon festival.
- Как это?	- How so?
- Я буду играть роль Полной Луны.	- I will play the role of the Full Moon.
- Зачем?	- What for?
- Как "зачем"? Меня будут наполнять. От восхода луны до её захода. Или пока сознание не потеряю. Все-все мужики поселка. Это так романтично!	— How "what for"? I’m going to be filled up. From the moonrise to the moonset. Or until I lose consciousness. Every single man in the village. It’s so romantic!
- Вижу, ты делаешь успехи. Зачем тебе это?	- I see you're making progress. Why are you doing this?
- Я хочу девочку. Если один мужчина и много женщин, то рождаются мальчики. А если много мужчин и одна женщина, то получается девочки.	- I want a girl. If there’s one man and many women, boys are born. But if there are many men and one woman, you get girls.
- Я же предложил тебе генетическую копию. Будет девочка.	- I did offer you a genetic copy. That will be a girl.
- Я хочу по-настоящему. Яйцеклетка должна сама выбрать, которого из сперматозоидов она пустит внутрь. То есть надо, чтобы у неё был выбор.	- I want it to be real. The egg cell needs to choose for itself which sperm to let in. It needs to have a choice.
- Вообще-то, это довольно случайный процесс. Тот, кто много играет в рулетку, обычно проигрывает.	- Actually, it’s a fairly random process. Anyone who plays roulette a lot usually loses.
- Пап, я серьёзно. Там несколько заявок, но Шаман сказал, что все проголосуют за меня. Потому что мы удрали до Бигпуфа и я единственная чистенькая. Тут любят иностранок.	- Dad, I’m serious. There are few other candidates, but Shaman said everyone’s going to vote for me. Because we ran off before the Bigpuf, and I’m the only clean from mutations. They love foreign women here.
- Ну и ну..	- Wou..
- Пап, надо, чтобы ты приехал. Так Шаман сказал. Ты должен быть предпоследним, кто наполнит Луну.	— Dad, I need you to come. That’s what the Shaman said. You have to be the second-to-last man to fill the Moon.
- Когда?	- When?
- Шаман сказал, начнётся во вторник. Как только Луна появится, меня побреют налысо, везде-везде, даже брови, и намажут жиром. И прилунят.. Я видела, как они это делают. Очень красиво. Луна мокрая, гладкая и блестит. Луна делает вид, что она смущается и боится. Они бьют в бубны, поют, танцуют и наполняют, а её папы, то есть сожители ее мамы, последние.. то есть нет, последний Шаман. То есть ты будешь предпоследним. А потом Луна теряет сознание; она как будто умирает и попадает в рай, и её уносят спать. Не навсегда в рай, но хотя бы на время.. А потом Луна весь месяц, как королева. Надо, чтобы ты участвовал.. Это очень романтично.. Я так хочу.. Чтобы по-настоящему.. И тогда Боги будут весь месяц покровительствовать жителям поселка.. И Луне.. То есть мне.. Ты же видел, как это бывает?	- The Shaman said it starts on Tuesday. As soon as the Moon appears, they’ll shave me bald—everywhere, even my eyebrows, and coat me in fat. And they’ll moon me.. I’ve seen them do this. It’s very beautiful. The Moon is wet, smooth, and shiny. The Moon is supposed to be shy.. They beat their drums, sing, dance, and fill her up—and her dads, I mean her mom’s partners, the last ones.. Oh, no, the last is Shaman. This means you’ll be the second-to-last. And then the Moon loses consciousness; it’s as if she dies and goes to heaven, and they carry her off to sleep. Not to heaven forever, but at least for a while... And then, for the whole month, the Moon is like a queen. I need you to take part... It’s so romantic... I want it so much... I want it to be real... And then the Gods will look after the village people all month long... And the Moon... I mean, me... You’ve seen how this happens, haven’t you?
- Ну, видел..	- Well, I saw it...
- И участвовал?	- And did you take part?
- Один раз не считается.	- Once doesn't count.
- Второй раз для тебя будет особенным. Я постараюсь.	- The second time will be special for you. I will try.
- Ладно. Постараюсь приехать. До свиданья.	- Let it be. I'll try to come. Goodbye.
