4 Monster Friends [Action/Voice]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ When Arietta first comes back to the village, she doesn't think much of it. Sure, there are a few new faces around, but she was kidnapped right before another New Feather cycle.

But as she makes her way back to House 47, things seem a bit strange. Dated, even. And they only get stranger when she finds out just who else is in House 47.

Finally she decides enough is enough, and goes for the journals.

Anyone who's met Arietta might notice that at the moment, she seems a bit... well. Older. ]



Hello. Um, I was wondering. Is Yushen listening to this? Or Wiz? [ Who else has been in Luceti for a long time...? ] Cloche?

If any of you hear this, I want to talk to you...

[ Where have all her Luceti friends gone 8'( ]


(( Arietta has been aged-up nine years in an alternate Luceti as detailed here! ))

Well, we just, um... I mean... I have no idea. But there's gotta be some way to do it.

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

Maybe if I shout at them over the journal?

... But a lot of people shout at them. [ Especially around New Feather season. ] I don't know if they'll listen to me even if I tell them they made a mistake.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Something tells me that yelling at them isn't going to make them want to do you a favor...

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

But they're the ones who messed up! So they should fix it!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Well, yeah, but...

[Why did he think this was a good idea in the first place?]

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

How else am I supposed to tell them?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

You could try asking nicely?

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

... Why would I do that?

[ It's their mistake. She doesn't have to be nice! ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Because they might be more willing to be nice if you were nice to them?

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

But they shouldn't have messed up!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

... maybe the best thing to do would just be to wait until they fixed whatever it is they messed up. I mean, I'm sure they'll figure it out soon enough. They have to notice that you're missing from the right Luceti, right?

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

Oh, you're right... And they can probably see that I'm here if they're looking for me.

So I only need to yell at them if I'm here for a while!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Exactly! And you might not even need to yell at them at all if they fix it fast enough.

[Phew, saved!]

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

[ Good job, Emil! ]

I'll give them a week.

[ ... Arietta that is not long. ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe you should give them two weeks... you know, just to be safe.

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

Why is two safe?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Well, they'd have to notice it first, and then they'd have to fix it... who knows how long that might take.

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

But they just have to get me out of here. Wouldn't that be easy?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I guess you never really know in a place like this.

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

They take people all the time. It should be easy.

[ Cater to her whims, dammit. ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Easy... right...

[With any luck, this Mallynapping effect will wear off in under two weeks so she doesn't come around demanding to know why they haven't sent her back to the right Luceti yet.]

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

Well if it's not easy, why would they do it so much?!

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I-I don't know! I'm not one of the Malnosso-- I don't know why they do what they do. None of us do.

[Voice]

[wildoldergirl]

Well they do! But they won't tell us anything!

[ Now she's riled up again whoops... ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

[... whoops. Good going, Emil.]

I, um... I need to get going to work, so, um... I'll talk to you later?
