[When the SFC turns on, Angelo can be seen dressed in a well tailored suit. This is the first time he's done something important, so he wants to make a good impression. Taking a brief moment to clear his throat, he's smiling at the camera. Or at the very least, he's faking that smile. For whose familiar with the accent as well, it will be one of the British/English variety.]

Good day citizens of Vatheon, I have two announcements. The first is an important announcement on behalf of our Golden Victory Host Club. As many of you are aware, our former president Zelos departed and recently returned to the fair city. However despite this situation and prior to Zelos' return to the city, we still made the decision to go forward and change management. The new heads of the host club are the former vice president Peony and I, the great Angelo, am its new vice president. In regards to the rest of the club, no changes will be made and we are in fact looking for more people to stop by. So if you're interested in either stopping by or becoming a member of the club, do feel free to come by or let us know. Furthermore, with the changing of management, any questions about our club can be directed to myself or Peony either by SFC voicemail or in person.

[He keeps up that smile while making the second announcement, even if deep down, this is hurting way more than it should.]

The second announcement is more of a personal one. For those who knew my adopted daughter Ib, I'm afraid to say she's been taken away from the city back to her home. I personally believe she'll be much safer there than here, so I'm glad she was able to make it home. Though I'm sure she will be deeply missed by those who knew her, so please remember her for the time she was here.

[ As a mother herself, she sympathizes ... ]

I certainly wish the best for your daughter, Angelo.

[He keeps up the same smile he's been making the entire time.]

Thank you Yuri, I do truly believe she'll be safer there. That's why I'm happy she no longer has to stay in this miserable place. Besides, she's back with her real parents now.

[ She doesn't know Angelo all that well, but she knows that smile. She makes the same exact one when she doesn't want people to worry about her. ]

Bullshit.

[ Well, not complete Bullshit. She's sure he's glad that she'll be safe back home. But that smile he's wearing tells her that he's not really happy, and she knows because she pulls the same exact crap. ]

She's with her real parents, sure. She's safer, yes, probably. But are you happy that she's no longer here?

Absolute bullshit.

M'sorry to hear about your daughter, mate. Better back home than stuck here though.

[ Settling down though. ]

Completely unrelated question though... are you East End or West End?

[ Because hey, you're the first guy with an accent he's met that didn't come from his world! ]

[beauchevalier]

She'll be better off back home instead of being stuck here, I'm happy she's back there.

[Oh wow, someone else with the same accent as him? This is interesting. But what did he mean by East End or West End? Did he meant if he came from the east or the west?]

I'm from the southeastern continent in my world, the town of Simpleton being where I was born.

[diehardreaper]

[ He nods to that. It's a good attitude to have, Angelo. Better than sulking around like he did. There's a pause and a blink though. ]

Simpleton? Can't say I'm familiar with the place. Is it anywhere near London?

[honeyflaaash]

[The first bit of the announcement isn't that interesting to Honey. She still doesn't care about the host club too much. It's the second bit that catches her eye and convinces her to respond.]

... I'm sorry. About your daughter. [She didn't think Angelo'd be the kind of guy to adopt a child. Suddenly, she's seeing him in a whole new light.]

[Video]

[beauchevalier]

[Oh Honey, you're such a sweet girl.]

You don't need to be sorry, I'm glad she's not here anymore. It's much safer for her than being here.

[Video]

[honeyflaaash]

But even so, you must miss her, right? ...Because she's your family.

[And considering her previous conversation with Angelo- the one about him believing love isn't worth it... She just feels even worse about this.]

Video

[redcladidealist]

Ib left?

[Having lost Zelos recently, even if he did come back, Lloyd's pretty sure he can imagine what Angelo's feeling right now.]

...are you all right?

Video

[beauchevalier]

Yes, she's gone.

[He's still keeping up that fake smile.]

Of course I'm fine, especially knowing she'll be happier and safer at home.

[video]

[styxiedust]

Oh, is that right?

[...And then this girl also sounds English yet isn't, WEIRD HUH?]

Wilder-sa---Ehh--Zelos was one of the first people I spoke to here. That's too bad. But the show must go on, eh?

[...Hurt feelings are pinging at her. Dammit.]

By the by, I'm sorry to hear about your daughter.

[video]

[beauchevalier]

[A girl with an accent similar to his? Huh, interesting.]

Yes, it must. If you're interested in stopping by, my lady, you're always welcome to.

[But then she mentions Ib.]

There's no need to feel sorry, I'm glad she's back home.

[symmetrophile]

My condolences.

The Host Club is where Rin cooks, isn't it?

[He's never been a customer, but his best friend works there, and even the notoriously picky eater favors his culinary creations.]

[beauchevalier]

Ah thank you, but she'll be happier and safer than in this place.

[He also nods at Kid.]

Yes, that's right. Are you interested in stopping by?

[horseystyle]

[ slight curious head tilt. ]

HOST CLUB?

[ just like in her troll animes??? ]

[beauchevalier]

[Oh hey, it's that one chick he talked to with the accent.]

Hello again. And yes, a host club. Would you be interested in coming by to see what it's like?

[jagermeister]

The fuck is a host club?

_{[he is from a world full of sand and what is that.]}

[beauchevalier]

Our host club is a fine establishment where gentlemen entertain women or anyone who is interested in stopping by. We will be doing more in the future, however. We're also currently looking for new members, so we're a bit shorthanded at this moment in time.

[He's talking very basic, since this person doesn't seem to know what a host club is.]

[bufudine]

Congratulations on the promotion.

[There's a pause before Serph speaks again.]

Would you like to join me on the beach?

voice

[beauchevalier]

Thank you Serph.

[Wait what? Is Serph asking him out? This is...odd, but he'll take it.]

Most certainly, I would never pass up spending time with you.

[innocentgear]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear your daughter left.

_{[Dizzy was also adopted by her parents, so...]}

video

[beauchevalier]

She's much safer at home than here, so there's no need to feel sorry.

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

Congratulations on your leadership.

[He's not going to say much more about the host club. Sure, Serph's involved in it, but Gale's never been interested, and he would make a pretty bad Host, anyway.]

I spoke to Ib while she was here. I had not realized she was so close to you.

[Video]

[beauchevalier]

Thank you.

[Oh yeah, Serph's friend. Maybe he can rope him into becoming a host. For now though, he'll focus on the other topic.]

Yes, she was very dear to me.
