[ 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. ]

[ Hey hey shhh she covered up her fear of dogs extremely well when she was with him and the others okay.

She's terrified when he just walks past the dog, and she gasps a little when he gets so close to it, aaaa. But she pretends to be totally calm and collected! ]

A-Ah, yes! I am sure Her will be very happy! [ She didn't know Her was here, too, but she'll deal with that later, when they're safely away from this dog. ] C-Could you please show me the way to your home?

[ And

walk her safely past the dog, sobbing. ]

[Ange you're such a precious lady sometimes--

Luca doesn't want her to have to walk through the snow and cold any more than she has to, ssso... He thinks for a moment and motions to his back.]

Would you, um... mind being carried? It's a bit of a walk.

[She can't be that heavy, right, like she's a little plump but it's not like she's that heavy, right?]

[ Ange is ... not going to let Luca carry her on his back. No no no no no. This is not happening, Luca, because she is fat and she will crush you. Also because it's awkward and she doesn't want to make her friend do that ... (But also she hates exercise so she would enjoy it, but she can't put her friend through something like that!) ]

I cannot allow you to do that, Luca! I will be alright. I can walk on my own.

[Well he was just offering!! But, um. If she prefers.]

All right. Shall we? We sort-of recently moved to house 46 [and by 'recently' he means a week or two ago] since the apartment was getting really crowded...

[He'll even offer her his arm.]

[ Alright, well she will take his arm then if he is offering, because that's rather sweet of him!

And she takes that as confirmation that there's quite a few of her companions here (and confirmation that she won't have to be living on her own anymore here — she's happy that she'll be living with her friends, then).

And she smiles, quiiiietly watches the dog out of the corner of her eye to make sure it doesn't attack ... ]

Crowded? Am I correct in assuming there are quite a few of our companions here?

[Luca'll start guiding her past the dog. Don't worry, he's between her and it. It's okay.]

Spada, Iria, and Her are all here... [A little laugh.] All we need is for Ricardo to come and then we'll have everyone, won't we?

[ She's still going to continue to watch it — she is not going to let it attack them while they're so close to safety (hopefully it doesn't follow them though, sob). ]

Goodness, that many? I was not expecting to return here and see so many of you. I must say this is both a pleasant and unpleasant surprise.

[ Pleasant because yay friends, unpleasant because experiments and awful things. ]

[~~what if it did~~ Don't worry so much, it'll probably just stay there and wait for its owner like a good dog...]

It hasn't been so bad. There was a draft that most of us went to... I didn't, since the Malnosso thought that'd be a great time to kidnap me [hahaaaaa] but... everyone returned fine.

[ ... Sob Luca. ]

While I am glad to hear that everyone returned fine, it is not such great news to hear you were kidnapped by them. I myself have never gone through such a thing, however I can only imagine what it must have been like. Were you injured?

[ Sob mama Ange will make up for it by making you your favorite meal when they get to the house if you want ....... ]

Just a few scrapes and bruises. [He's totally not blushing. Uggh what an embarrassing day that was, returning to the village like that--] I didn't really try to put up a fight.

[Yes please that would be great...]

Goodness, Luca, you really should learn to stick up for yourself a little more ... [ A pause, as she thinks about it a little more — her memories of this place are coming back slowly, give her time. ] However, considering the nature of the kidnappers, surely you would have ended up in worse shape if you had resisted.

[ She hates to admit that fighting back makes everything worse ... ]

That's why I didn't... [His memories are a little weak, but he remembers Spada being mallynapped last year and seeing the mess they caused when he fought back.] It wasn't so bad, I guess. It could've been worse.

I suppose so ... But I would prefer it if you had never been kidnapped in the first place. [ A sigh. ] I am hoping this does not happen too often with us in the future ...

Same here. [But oh! Look, they're home. Or, er, their new home. Luca'll let go of Ange's arm just to open the door for her.]

It's a lot bigger than the community houses, and it's a lot nicer too. We have plenty of room as well, at least for now I suppose.

[ 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.~~) ]

[~~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~~.]

[ W e l l, she is wondering why Luca would assume she would prefer it there! It certainly can't be the people, since Spada and Iria are much louder than Her and Luca, so it can't be because of the people around the room! So, she asks! ]

Luca, why do you believe I would prefer it here?

I-If we don't have a responsible and loving person who'd, um, never hurt someone she trusts and likes for implying something that he's really not implying at all near the kitchen, then Iria and Her could just, you know, um... eat it all! Th-That's why!

[Yeah that wasn't suspicious at all, right.]

[ ... Luca. SHE'S NOT ~~SPADA~~ DUMB. ]

Are you implying that I am fat and would prefer the room closest to the kitchen?!

[dang]

N-No! I didn't say that at all! I really do-- I really do think that we'd be better having a strong, responsible woman in charge of things!

[ Putting her hands on her hips. ]

Do you expect me to believe that?

O-Only because it's the truth!

[pleasedon'thurthimpleasedon'thurthimpleasedon'thurthim]

[ SHE'S NOT GOING TO HURT HIM but she is going to talk at him. ]

Luca, you should try to choose your wording more carefully, if you did indeed have good intentions in mind!

[Ohhhhhh he really didn't want to be scolded...]

Yes, Ange... I'll remember that from now on... [Pausing.] ... but you're happy with the one next to the kitchen, right?

[ Yeah you better remember it, young man.

But hrrrmnn ... A long pause before: ] ... I suppose so.
