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.

[ .. Hmm, he did say something about someone being gone before, so.. ]

You're not living alone now, are you..?

[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.

[de_bel_survivor]

No, I'm not. I have a friend staying with me right now.

[His announcement last month was for his best friend. Hiro is a good person, but he's not Atsuro.]

[de_bel_survivor]

Ah...yeah, I know.

[And his composure is back, along with his mask.]

Sorry, but I don't like it when the Malnosso messed around with me like that.

Are you sure you don't need anything?

[ Helios gives Kouki a warm smile when he opens the door. He has a small bundle of things with him that he'll be using for the enchantment, but otherwise his hands are mostly free. ]

Good afternoon Kouki. How are you faring with catching up with the homework?

[happyends]

Ah, I'm glad.. for a moment I was worried you'd be all alone, and.. w-well, that'd just be sad, right? I don't think anyone should be alone in a place full of people like this, there's always someone to be friends with.

[de_bel_survivor]

I know...it's always easier to live with friends than by yourself. But if [when] my roommate ever leave, I can always ask for roommates or move out.

[It's always possible for Hiro to leave, just like he can. It's just a matter of when.]

I know plenty of people here, so I'm not exactly alone, anyway.

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

Fairly well! I'm lucky that Abel didn't move my old notes around too much.

[Kouki glance at the bundle of things, before looking back up at Helios.]

Do you want to put them down on the table?

[de_bel_survivor]

[A short pause. Does he need anything? He can keep up with his studies, his things are in order, and he can take his time with his current project. So what else does he need?]

Yeah, I'm sure. If I do, I'll let you know. But...I wouldn't mind resuming our training.

[Man, he need to get back into shape. Captivity wasn't so kind to his body and mind.]

[happyends]

.. Ehehe, I should've known. [ she nods a little to herself. ]

I already thought you were the popular kind of person.. seems I was right.

voice;

[oftheyin]

I would really like that actually. I really need something to fill up my free time.

[Action]

[folklorist]

Oh, dear, that would have been quite unfortunate. I'm glad everything seems to be in order though. [ He manages a small smile before blinking and looking down at the few things nestled in his arms. ]

Oh! Um. Yes. If-if you don't mind.

[Action]

[de_bel_survivor]

I don't mind at all! Just let me clear out the table first.

[Kouki walks back to the table in the room, moving some items away to make space for Helios's things.]

voice;

[de_bel_survivor]

When do you want to start again?

voice;

[oftheyin]

As soon as you're available.

[de_bel_survivor]

Nah, I'm not that popular.

[He can list some people who surpassed him in popularity*. Like Haruhi or Masaomi.

* Reasons for said popularity not accounted for said list.]

[everyonesconfidant]

Yeah, I understand. No one likes getting messed with by the Malnosso. [Not that he's had anything happen to him yet...]

I guess it's a good thing I asked the other you to stay in our apartment, huh? At least it kept you close to home base.

[de_bel_survivor]

Uh huh. And at least he didn't move around my things too much.

[Particularly his Biblical notes. It's a good thing Abel haven't discover those.]

I hope he's not too much trouble to look after?

voice;

[de_bel_survivor]

I'll let you know when I'm available. I'd say this weekend earliest, but it might take me about a week.

[happyends]

.. Huh? But you are, aren't you? I mean.. having a lot of friends you can turn to when you need it is definitely a sign of popularity!

[ but it's madoka, so she can't proclaim it sounding that sure about herself for long.. ] .. I think.

[everyonesconfidant]

No, no, he seemed fine once I told him a bit more about Luceti and showed him the map. I... I did have a little trouble keeping up with him when he went out, but it didn't seem that he got into any mischief. Not that I heard about anyway.

[de_bel_survivor]

Not a lot, other than meeting people and bringing home desserts...

[Abel was really fascinated with the somewhat modern creations.]

Did you two eat them together?

[de_bel_survivor]

That is one thing. Popularity means lots of people know you, whether you know them or not.

[oftheyin]

Please take all the time you need. There's no rush.
