[ 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. ]

[ Fffff, don't come closer, Yuan! Ange will start to fear for his safety, too, and that certainly isn't something she wants from this situation. So she quickly responds. ]

Y-Yes! But do not come any closer!

[That causes Yuan to stop in his tracks again, but only because he's expecting a far greater danger than possibly-rabid little dogs. His eyes sweep the area in search of anything that seems amiss, but... It's like trying to find Waldo in a book that doesn't depict him.]

What's wrong?

[ Hmmnn, she supposes she'll warn him, then, since this is an important situation! ]

These creatures go right for the throat if provoked!

[ So maybe that gives away her fear but she's hoping the 'if provoked' part makes it seem as though she isn't afraid of dogs in general but instead of what they can do if they're made mad ... ]

Creatures... [He surveys the area one final time, before his eyes finally come to rest on Naoto's little puppy.]

... You mean the dog?

[ Sob yes she means the dog. And it barks again, causing Ange to jump a little (though she tries to keep it under control). ]

Y-Yes! [ A pause. ] You never can tell what they are thinking!

[Yuan frowns, before striding towards the two anyway.] I'm fairly certain this one is hoping to play with you.

[Once he's close enough, he sinks to one knee and lets out a high-pitched whistle to catch the dog's attention. Come to Yuan, little guy.]

[ Ange almost sighs in relief when the dog turns its attention toward Yuan, but she soon takes on concern for the man considering dogs go for the throat and he just bent down to its level ajh;sdkjgh. ]

P-Please be careful! You cannot be so sure!

I happen to be familiar with this dog.

[Hell if he can remember what it's called, but at least he knows it isn't in the least bit harmful. As soon as the dog comes running towards him, he scoops it up in his arms and gets to his feet again.]

[ ... 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?

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.]

[ 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.

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. ]

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.]

Oh, I assumed that was the case. Has anything good happened in Luceti while I have been away? I am hoping it is not solely bad news.

[ She wants to see if there's at least any good news. ]

[Yuan really is the wrong person to ask about good news. He's silent for a few seconds, before shaking his head.]

Nothing comes to mind.

[ Aaah, of course. Ange sighs at that. ]

I had hoped that were not the case. I suppose we will have to work towards creating good news for future new feathers.

... Yes, I suppose so.

[The dog starts squirming restlessly in Yuan's arms again. Apparently it doesn't like keeping still for too long.] ... I'm going to put it down again, all right?

[ EEP—

Nope she has to act totally okay and calm with it — it looks restless and she doesn't want to subject Yuan to that (but what if it attacks her—). ]

A-Alright.

[He carefully lowers the dog onto the ground. The moment Yuan releases it, it darts off and starts circling him, tail wagging happily.]

... Go find your owner. Shoo.

[ Ajh;sdgjh— ]

P-Perhaps we should find a better place to speak with each other?

[ Awaaaay from the dog. ]
