[ Ange happens to wake up in a more relatively safe place this time she arrives, waking up just outside Community Building 4. It doesn't take her long to realize she's not in Naraka anymore and instead in Luceti, which does have its problems but considering the nature of Luceti, she knows nothing can be done about it, and she takes this fact in calmly. She can only vaguely remember the place, but she does remember some of the key facts and happenings in it.

And after a moment, she searches for her journal and her clothes, though this time she isn't fortunate enough to find the latter by her side (and she makes note to search for them later, though she isn't entirely fond of this white sundress considering it doesn't exactly cover up her stomach as well as her usual clothes do). She does, however, locate the journal quickly, and as she stands up, she clicks the journal on. ]

Good evening, Luceti. I am Ange Serena, and some of you may recognize me. I would like to let those of you who remember me know that I have returned here. [ And she pauses for a moment, considers the nature of the place she's in. ] And if any of my companions from Naraka are here at the moment as well, I would like for you to contact me. That is—

[ Suddenly, she cuts herself off with a shriek. It just so happens that Naoto Shirogane's dog, who has beaten its owner back to the building by quite a lot, has decided it's a good idea to run up to Ange, and though it approaches her playfully, Ange has ... issues with dogs (issues that she will not admit to, but they are serious issues indeed).

And there is shuffling to be heard over the journal as the woman backs away. ] D-Do not come close! I — I do not wish to play, and — my throat does not wish to play, either — [ Those creatures go for the throat, after all. And there is another shriek now as the dog begins running circles around her happily. But, ffff, Ange is most certainly not happy about this and anyone listening over the journals may hear a loud sound soon, indication that she has indeed thrown the journal at the dog's feet. ] D-Do you want that? Would you rather play with that? [ She knows the journal is important but ... sob.

Anyone who finds Ange will notice her backed up against the building, with a dog happily barking at her and closing in. ]

[ ... Man, Yuan is brave. She isn't going to take her eye off the dog, or stop worrying about it, but she'll at least try to look a bit calmer. ]

... You are?

[ Oh she likes this a lot more than that small apartment-type thing she was living in before. (Maybe it'll even have a larger kitchen—)

And she smiles. ]

Goodness, it does look rather nice! You will have to show me which room I will be staying in then, I suppose. [ Seeing as the others got here before her, and she's not quite sure which rooms are open. (~~Somewhere preferably near the kitchen will do nicely.~~) ]

[ W-Well, she won't argue then ... (But she won't take her eyes off the dog either, just in case—)

And she'll ... take just a step closer. ]

You seem to be good with dogs ...

[ Oh, look, now Ange doesn't have to answer Spada's question anymore— (Lalala, ignoring him.)

But she jumps when the dog runs past her, and looks rather concerned when it runs toward Naoto! Ange remembers Naoto, vaguely, from that experiment she lived through while in Luceti last. ]

N-Naoto! [ There is maybe a hint of concern in her voice because the demon dog is near her now— ]

Yes. It belongs to Naoto. I doubt it would harm even a fly.

[He's absentmindedly petting the dog's head, hoping it'll stop the little guy from squirming and trying to lick at his fingers.]

Yes, I agree! [ That is a good idea, Iria.

But there is still the issue of the dog in front of her and Ange is going to try to ... awkwardly slide along the wall, keeping her eyes fixed on the dog, in order to get in a position where she can run for it—

Nope, doesn't look suspicious at all. ]

[ SHE WAS BEING CORNERED BY THE DOG she didn't want to be doing anything with it— ]

N-Nothing! [ Completely unsuspicious.

But she is more concerned with the fact that Her is here. ]

How long have you been in Luceti, Her?

[ Well Ange begs to differ with that last part, but she would rather not make it more obvious that she thinks it's a rabid beast. ]

... Naoto? [ She can vaguely remember that event and she is assuming the two of them must have kept in touch after it, or something. ] Goodness, I had no idea she had obtained a dog.

She's had it for a few months now, I believe. You've been gone for quite a while.

[He peers down at the dog with a mild frown, as it keeps trying to wriggle around and crane its head in such a way that it can lick Yuan's fingers.]

[ And those motions the dog is making are concerning Ange, and she almost calls out to have it stopped, but Yuan doesn't seem to be too concerned over it and so she will try to make herself look calm ... ]

How long do you believe it has been?

[Yuan's rather oblivious to her concern. His attention is more on the excited puppy and trying to remember just when Ange left.]

I'd estimate over half a year. ... It's January now.

[That doesn't matter Ange! He doesn't care. If he can chase Ren all the way through a dam just to be with her then he isn't going to let... whatever's there, stop him.

So without even stopping or noticing the dog, he walks closer to Ange then stops just a foot or two away from her. Or at least where he thinks that she is. Her blue hair kinda stands out so it gives him a good idea as to where she's at exactly. But he reaches out a little, trying to find where she is, hand shaking]

_{[Iria will try to make the dog go away now. Will that help?]}

This one's friendly, that's all.

Man I don' know... a couple of months I guess? [A couple of months spent lazing around living the good life anyway.] Ya jus' got here now?

Goodness, over half a year? I cannot remember which month it was when I was here last, but I will certainly take your word for it. I am assuming much has happened in my absence ...

[ Wow it's kind of weird being gone for such a long time — like time moved without her over here in Luceti. ]

[ Is it even possible for them to be friendly— ]

Are you certain of that?

[ Nononono, that is not going to go over well with Ange, okay. She does not like him risking his safety like this just to get near her — and not listening to her when she tries to tell him to stop, too! So she keeps her eyes on the dog as she quietly tries to slip away from it, grabbing Seto's hand in the process and pulling him away from where the dog is.

Though the dog turns its attention to the two of them, at least she's got Seto and at least he can't fall over if she's holding onto him. ]

Seto, I said for you to wait for me. Please do not be so reckless.

[ Please, Iria, please!!

Ange needs the dog to stop being scary and fixated on her ... ]

[ Oh well that's not too long, but surely the poor girl has lived through some experiments in those months. Which is not okay. ]

Yes, though I have been here before with Spada, as well.

A few experiments and a draft or two. Nothing too different from usual, in this place.

Yes, but there is no telling what the experiments must have been like ... Either way, I can be happy I missed them, surely.

[ They were probably awful like usual. Though she does feel bad for the people who were here. ]

Yes, you can be very relieved. None of the past experiments have been particularly pleasant.

[Three words: Crashing horrifying moon.]

[~~Near the kitchen can be arranged.~~ He smiles back and makes sure the door is nice and shut before he leads her over to a room - third one from the left, really - and thinks.]

This one's still free, I think. Spada and Iria have those two [motioning to the ones beside them] and I have the one that way [last on the right] and Her has the one after the kitchen... I'd ask if you'd want the room next to mine, but I think you'd prefer it here, right?

[He's not

calling her fat

~~maybe~~.]

I'm certain.
