Day 27 - [Voice]

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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?

[everyonesconfidant]

At least he kept himself busy and didn't get into any trouble. He seems kind of easily entertained. And yeah, he shared some dessert with me.

[de_bel_survivor]

...He's from an old time period, so I'm not surprised that he's entertained by many things in the village. [There's a quirk of a smile. Heh.]

[everyonesconfidant]

Ahhh, that makes sense. Wait, how do you know what time period he's from? Well, he is an other you, so I guess you'd know.

[de_bel_survivor]

...Yeah, I'd know. I still have some of his memories.

[In Luceti. Kouki will keep quiet about Abel's life as a shepherd and the fateful offerings.]
