4th Bel [Voice/Action]

[Kouki’s been sick for the past couple of days, and Atsuro’s pretty sure that eating the same thing every day must be boring. Koubro needs better than that though! And seeing as how Atsuro does know how to cook—thanks to him living alone back at home—he figured he may as well try to mix things up by making something himself. …Except even if he does know how to cook, it’s not like he can pull a dish out of thin air. He needs a recipe to (religiously) follow so he doesn’t screw up…! As such, he goes ahead and makes a short voice entry.]

Hey guys! Do any of you happen to know of any good soup recipes? Especially ones that are good for when people are sick. I’d like to find a few, so if any of you could suggest some, that’d be great.

[Not long after making the journal entry, Atsuro can be found walking around the plaza for a bit. He may head on over to the library for a bit first, but then he goes ahead to pick up food and ingredients for Koubro’s food, and just for the apartment in general. After then, he goes to the bakery, and then back home to community building 7. Feel free to bump into him!]

[ that's a pretty big deal?! ]

But you didn't think of wanting to go with your family? If it would have been me, I would have moved with them regardless of my level of English speaking abilities.

[Not to him! He's used to it.]

I did think about it for a while, but I figured staying back in Japan would be best for me. I think I would've had a harder time adjusting to a new country and its culture at such an age than I did when staying.

That's true, but nobody likes to be seperated from their family. [ She sounds rather firm on that point, since it's something she truly believes - she got absolutely miserable without hers. ]

You must be some really strange sort of person to pick that, Atsuro.

[ yet even if she says 'strange', it doesn't sound like an insult or even negatively. ]

I guess it does sound pretty strange, huh? [But then again, Atsuro's choices are always strange and unorthodox, so...]

As long as I got to see them every once in a while, it was fine. Plus, had I left, I probably wouldn't be where I am now and have the friends I have now, you know? [So he doesn't regret it or anything.]

Yeah, I guess you turned out just fine regardless of that choice.

[ Atsuro is more well-adjusted than she is, either way.. even Ange realises that. 8| ]

It's just the part with being fine with not even seeing your family that I can't get. But maybe it's just a difference between us.

Maybe. I can see why other people wouldn't do the same or just wouldn't get it though.

I'm guessing you would have gone with them if you were in my position, right?

Of course I would have gone with them. If I had a chance to spend more time with my family.. I would take it no matter what I would have to sacrifice, really.

Oh... Were you not able to back at home, Ange? [He frowns. The way she puts it, it sure sounds that way.]

My entire family died when I was only six years old, so I had little choice.

[ although she wouldn't have minded to have gone with them and died, but.. she'll leave that out for now. ]

My older brother is here, but even he is back from that time. He only remembers me being six.

[DOJI POINTED OUT A DERP ON MY PART... his parents left when he was in elementary school oops--]

O-oh... [He actually stumbles a bit over his words, feeling rather guilty for even asking that.] That must have been really rough though. Sorry for mentioning it, Ange.

[..awkward. He perks up a little at her mentioning an older brother though. Atsuro met someone like that before, didn't he..? Over the journals, but...] Older brother... Oh, Battler, right?

[ sssh, it's all retconned now. HANDWAVES. ]

It's fine. [ As usually she's rather short about it - even if it's not snappy nor deadpan, since.. yeah, it's basically what made her entire life into a hell, oops.

The next part surprises her though. ]

Yeah, Battler onii-chan-- .. you know him?

[O-OKAY...

Gaaaah. He feels really bad about bringing that up now...]

Um.. Yeah, vaguely. I spoke to him over the journals when he first got here, and I remember him mentioning he was your brother.

[ Let her tell you the story of how her life was suffering, Atsuro. ]

Yeah, he's my older brother. He's in this place, but he's from twelve years ago for me.. Right from before he died. He's being as much of a loud idiot as ever, though. [ she's saying it in an affectionate way, though.. lovable idiot.. ]

[And then she goes ahead and mentions how he dies too. ...Which he would've figured anyway, since she said her whole family but... still awkward to hear specific people. Especially when he knows them.

He does his best to put on a smile at the last comment though, even laughing a bit.] Haha, I noticed. He definitely does seem pretty loud.

He is. Onii-chan actually flipped his journal before.

[ See, this is a good topic, Ange instantly gets a bit more dere when it's about Battler.. ]

But.. even if he comes across as loud and definitely an idiot, he's a good person.

[so dere, angie...]

I can see that. From what I've seen, he really seems to care about you a lot too. [Though he never responded to it, he does remember that whole dating Keiichi ordeal, as crazy as it kinda was... was that when he flipped his journal?]

[ dere for family. ]

Yeah. From what he last remembers from back home, I was just killed after all, so he's even more protective of me here than he would normally be. [ oh, yes, please mention being killed in a 'by the way..' kind of thing, Ange. ]

[..ange stop that.]

...Wait, you were killed too?! [But then how did she grow up over the years and... what..]

[ born this way. ]

... Not twelve years ago with everyone else. It's a little difficult, but.. let's say I went back in time to help Battler onii-chan save our family while I already was this old. [ let's leave the connection with witches out for a little more.. ]

I died while trying to help him out.

[/punches]

Huh... That sounds confusing. [...] Do you come from before the time where you went back to help Battler out, or...?

[ cries. ]

... No. I'm already from after I was killed. [ okay no here's the real reason why she's semi-casual about it.. ] But I was revived again as well, hence why I'm here in one piece.

[...woah what]

...Revived? How? [Is something like that even possible? ...Then again, it happens here in Luceti, and it probably does in other worlds, but..]

By a witch. Said witch is actually in this place as well.

[ don't be surprised over the idea of witches existing, Atsuro, she said she was one before too..!! ]

[yep, he remembers...! Though it's still at least a little weird to hear anyway...]

Oh, so... There were other witches in your world too? [...] Who's the one you're talking about? [maybe he knows her?! (no he doesn't)]

Plenty. Except most of them aren't as pleasant as me [ and considering this is Ange, that says a lot. ] so it's probably better for you to not meet any of them.

And.. the one I'm talking about is that Featherine witch. She goes around in her human form here though, so maybe you've talked to her. Touya Hachijou, I think that's the name she uses here.
