( ( introspection ahoy ) )
... After what seems like an eternity it still takes way too much effort to make herself open the journal, writing in it with shaky fingers, the words empty and meaningless. ]

For those that hadn't noticed yet, Battler Ushiromiya left Luceti a little while ago.

As of this morning, Kyrie Ushiromiya is gone as well.

( ooc: i'll be slow on tags since i have quite the backlog, so please bear with me! )

[ By the following day even Ange can realise something is.. well, slightly off. Aside from the fact that nobody seems to remember the 1st, there's also the fact that a lot of people are moving around and.. well, she has no clue what's going on. ]

Is this some sort of huge weird April Fool's joke tradition here in Luceti?

First off there's that day that nobody seems to remember, although those seem to at least be more common, and now there's also a lot of lost people or something like that? A lot of people moving around, at least.. [ sigh. ] Apparently spring fever really does exist if it affects so many of you, huh?

... Oh, Atsuro, Kouki, I'm coming over to check up on the two of you with all of this going on, okay? Let me join in for dinner or something like that too for once.

( action; everywhere )

[ After that message Ange will leave the house for the afternoon and go out into the village - although housemates are free to hit her up before she leaves, of course.

There's something slightly off about her though. For once she's not wearing the hairbobbles she usually always wears, and any sign of the Ushiromiya one-winged eagle on her clothes is gone as well - the band missing from her sleeve, the ring on her finger gone too. Aside from that, it does really mostly seem like it's Ange, though, if not just a little more social. Still not by a whole lot, though.

Feel free to encounter her anywhere in the village on her way to community building 7 where Atsuro and Kouki are staying, or in the community building itself. Eventually she'll definitely end up at the apartment though, knocking on the door. ]

[ she can't even bring herself to use voice for this - just sending this message out in general is already embarassing enough, but she can't think of it by herself, so.. have some written text, Luceti. ]

So, let's say there's a person who did a lot for you, and even though you still can't really take it in you feel like you should at the very least try to do something back for them in return. Since it's only natural, and maybe you want to show you care as well or whatever. Something like that.

But all the things they did are so big combined that you can't even start to think of something that would be big enough or of equal value to give in return. So.. what should you even do in a situation like that?

... Purely hypothetical, I mean.

......

This is stupid.

[ Ange never really feels the need to broadcast anything over the journals, as anti-social as she is and all. But today she's perhaps feeling a bit more bored or a bit more annoyed than usual, probably because of some recent arrivals. So she has actually taken the effort to speak up for once now, her voice as flat and deadpan as it always is. ]

So, people here.. how much longer are you planning on wasting your time here? Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have found any way out either, but I doubt spending our time here with parties and all sorts of similar ridiculous things is going to help us in any way. Don't tell me all of you have grown so used to this place that you're just complacent with the situation as it is now.

[ Sorry, Luceti, she's a bit of a party pooper indeed. What is having fun. ]

I definitely have no plans of sticking around here if I'd be given the choice. I have better things to do than wasting my time around here.. unlike some other people, apparently. [ a very slight sigh. ]

So I guess in the end it comes down to this.. do any of you honestly want to stick around in this bothersome place and party your days away? I suppose I'm actually a little genuinely curious.

[ It looks like she's going to cut it off right there and then, but she seems to think of something as she starts a filter instead. ]

[ locked away from kakeravoyager and investigatings ]

On a different note.. if anyone has advice for avoiding certain people, I'd like to hear it.

[ A bitter edge creeps into her tone as she speaks on. ] This place has a rather crude sense of humor as to who gets to arrive or leave here.

[ There are a few slight moments of silence - perhaps, if you listen closely enough, you can hear some slight sounds of nature from the forest's edge in the background - before a girl speaks up with a quite deadpan (and calm, considering the situation) tone. ]

Am I being reduced to this again this soon already? I really must be popular with all of you witches. So, which one of you do I have the honor of dealing with this time? Bernkastel again, or even that Featherine witch? ... Either way, you can come out and start laughing now. If you're looking for your cue, this is it.

[ She pauses for a moment, as if she actually does expect someone to pop up. But when it doesn't happen, she just continues talking. ]

It's pretty inconsiderate to let someone waiting after dragging them in, you know. Although I guess I should expect as much from the lot of you.

And what's up with these wings? 'Sure, let's give her pink wings this time just to see the look on her face, ahahaha' or whatever, right? I'm not laughing, but surely you predicted as much.

... Any normal person would start to think I'm going insane by now, like I'm talking to myself. Ah.. it's useless, it's all useless. Does anyone who's not me feel like speaking up already?
