Day 27 - [Voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[That might be one of his least favourite experiment effects, and Kouki wasn’t entirely sure how to feel about it once he’s returned to normal from his kidnapping effect. He have nothing against Abel himself, only what the shepherd’s significance mean to him as the King of Bel.

He would’ve accepted it just simply, but it seems like those Malnosso scientists was still insistent on learning about it. For whatever reason, the very fresh reminder of that part of himself was on his mind.

Had things went differently for Abel, his life would be different. But the past is past. He have to deal with it, yet again.]

[By the time Kouki address the journals, his familiar cat ears-like headphones are on his head and his black wings are back.]

Okay, I’m back for real. [As some can probably tell from how he speaks and the lack of ye olde accent.] Kouki Wakahisa, back to normal from the experiment I was under for the past week. If you talked with me during that time, thanks for putting up with me.

[Now that’s out of the way, there’s something he want to ask. It’s something he’s been meaning to do and it would be a good distraction from the past week.]

By the way, does anyone know about spells for animating inanimate objects? I'd appreciate any info and help about it.

[folklorist]

K-Kouki? Ah welcome back again I suppose? [ He chuckles with some humor. Well back from being that young man who called himself Abel. ]

I believe I can help you with that, the spell I mean.

[voice | filtered]

[de_bel_survivor]

Glad to be back, Mister Helios. [He's smiling, a little embarrassed about Abel's curiosities.]

Really? [Then again, it should be expected. Maybe Helios might like the idea behind his silly project.] Thanks! Spells like that aren't normally my specialties.

[For certain reasons. Battle related ones.]

[voice | filtered]

[folklorist]

Yes. I make the snow mythica move and such, so I'm sure I could lend a hand with whatever you need help with! [ Helios' tone of voice has it own smile in it. ]

What exactly did you have in mind?

[voice | filtered]

[de_bel_survivor]

A toy elephant, hopefully a fairly big one. [It's fairly obvious that he's smiling.]

[voice | filtered]

[folklorist]

Ah I see, I see. [ This sounds rather adorable actually. Helios sounds amused. ]

Well that should be easy enough. It's easier to apply the enchantment to things that are...solid and build firmly.

[oftheyin]

It is good to hear your voice again. How are you feeling?

voice;

[de_bel_survivor]

[He smiles when he heard her voice.]

Ran Fan! It's great to hear you again. [With his kidnapping-related absence and state as Abel, it's been a long time for him.] I'm feeling okay right now. Just getting used to Luceti life again.

[And mentally reorientating himself.]

voice;

[oftheyin]

Did you need any help readjusting? [Cause, of course, Ran Fan is gonna want to help a friend.]

voice;

[de_bel_survivor]

I think I'll be fine, but thanks.

[A slight pause.]

Did I miss anything since last month?

voice;

[oftheyin]

Nothing of importance. [She lost some people, but nothing he should be concerned about. She's just happy to have a friend back.]

voice;

[happyends]

[ ... Well, at least he's back to normal.. what happened before was super weird, after all, but she can't help but let out a tiny sigh of relief now. Let's just forget about that part, shall we.. ]

Um.. I still have your cat.

voice;

[de_bel_survivor]

Ah...

[Yeah, let's forget about that.]

Thank you, Kaname-san. I hope Kotone didn't give you too much trouble, did she?

[happyends]

No, not at all! She was being very good, I actually had a little fun with her.. [ she giggles, only a little awkwardly. ]

I just wanted to make sure she'd at least be alright for you.

[de_bel_survivor]

Thank you, Kaname-san.

I'm glad you took care of her. Maybe I should hire you the next time I went away?

[Like on a mission. Or get kidnapped again.]

[happyends]

[ as long as it's not as a maid. ]

.. Hehe, it'd be better if you just didn't go away again.. I was a little worried. [ especially when he came back all sort of.. weird.. ]

[voice]

[eightlazylegs]

Spells? Have tried batteries?

[Hermes does not understand magic very well.]

[voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[He looks at the small picture, carefully. Is that an...octopus?]

Batteries wouldn't work in this case.

[He want a more natural looking movement for his project, which magic can do.]

[voice]

[eightlazylegs]

How is move without batteries? [This intrigues him.

[voice]

[de_bel_survivor]

[Explaining things to an octopus. Kouki honestly never expected this in his life.]

I'm going to try moving it with magic, since it's not going to be a robotic elephant.

[voice]

[eightlazylegs]

[People rarely expect the octopus.]</small? How is magic?

[everyonesconfidant]

Welcome back for real this time, Kouki! Were you replaced by someone else, or did the Malnosso just screw with your head?

[de_bel_survivor]

Thanks, Hiro! And it's...well, they're messing with my head this time.

[Again.]

[everyonesconfidant]

They messed with your head, and... that guy came out, somehow? I wonder what they did to you to make that happen. Maybe they put a second personality in there or something.

[de_bel_survivor]

Ah, maybe.

[Lies, lies, lies. Those damned scientists never "put" Abel inside him in the first place. All they did was drawing him out.]

They probably think it's more interesting that way, making me act like an ignorant, naive fool.

[His feelings about this slowly slipped into his words. Kouki is still angry about it, however calm he may act on the surface.]

[everyonesconfidant]

Hey, don't get so down on that other you. He didn't know where he was, that's all. He couldn't help it.
