Re-entry One [audio]

Oh my, Vatheon. It seems I came back at such a turbulent time, for both myself and this underwater city.

[Hey yeah, anyone who recognizes her voice? Sounds like she's back! Huzzah and all that.]

It seems I may have to find a new place to stay, since there are just so many people living with Miss Maka and Mister Okumura now, and a job as well. That and I need to catch up on so many things.

[a pause.]

So... has anything interesting happened here since October?

...Miss Asakura.

_{[HE WAS WONDERING WHERE SHE DISAPPEARED TO. And as an added bonus, it even looks like she remembers everything.]}

Welcome back.

Mister Kimblee!

[She sounds so happy to hear him. Then again she seems to always sound happy.]

Thank you, it's good to be back.

There have been various things that have happened, but nothing that changed the fundamental nature of this place.

[He's not sure if he still needs to keep a partial eye on her or not.]

I see. Well that's a good thing then, Mister Kiske. At least nothing has fallen apart or anyone has died.

[She seems to just be happy to see/hear from him, so take that as you will Ky.]

[He'll react with politeness, then.]

I hope it will stay that way.

I hope so too.

... So how have you, yourself, been, Mister Kiske?

I'm now coleader of the Defense Force.

Did you, when you returned to your world, find that you had been missed?

Oh, congratulations!

[Oh... what a question.]

I wasn't missed. But I was needed for something very important, I was needed to protect someone.

Thank you. I hope that it will allow me to better serve this place.

I meant more...did time pass there while you were here?

Oh, yes time had passed! It was almost a year since I was last there when I returned.

[She doesn't seem... bothered by that fact.]

[He'll be plenty bothered by it on her account, then.]

That must have been very alarming.

Mm, not really? I technically didn't exist during that time, so it's not like I ended up missing anything important.

I'm not sure that I understand. We exist when we're here.

Well, yes. But here isn't home.

... That and I wasn't on Earth during that time either, I had no body to put it simply Mister Kiske.

So when you left here you lost your body somehow?

Yes and no?

I had lost it before I arrived here last time, Mister Kiske. Since, um...

I was disconnected from my Interface, my body, and thus went back to being just a part of the Entity.

You mentioned that before.

[It didn't make any more sense then.]

Did it make any difference that you had been here then, or not?

[No one understands it, even when she tries explaining.]

No, not really. Events went and eventually I was needed for something and I was allowed to go back to Earth. But only for special situations.

Did you remember having been here when you were there?

Hm... No, I didn't. Which made returning here quite disorienting.

Then it's what other people have said, outside of your...unique circumstances.

Huh.

[A hint of surprise on her face now.]

Well it's good to know that I haven't ruined the status quo then, Mister Kiske.

There aren't that many data points of people who have left and returned, so everyone's experience helps.

[ Because him making friends with everyone who knows his darling baby brother is the best idea. ]

Former dealings with Mister Okumura, you say?

Mmmhmm, Mister.

Quite a few dealings actually, other than just living in the same house as him.

Oh...? Do tell...

[ You can practically hear the grin in his voice. ]

I'm sure I would have remembered someone like you around the Villa.

I kept to myself, and well... I was sent home and only just recently returned.

[While she giggles a bit.]

And really how I met Mister Okumura is the most interesting part. I... borrowed his knife set for self defense.

In that case let me be one of the first to welcome you back.

[ Ooh, he kinda likes that... he's met a lot of tsundere in this city but you're a first, Asakura. Yandere. ]

I'm sure Okumura-kun would be more than happy to see you back...

Why thank you, although I returned on Christmas. I just wanted to resettle before I came on the network, Mister.

Oh, I wouldn't want to be a bother to him. And I'm sure he's already aware I've returned, I did run into Miss Maka first and they are a couple.

A wise move.
And do you have intentions of moving back into the Villa? I've heard it's getting a little crowded around there.

No, I am currently looking into a new place to stay. It may end with me living on my own once more, but I am fine with that.

I'm actually more concerned about finding employment, Mister.

Employment, you say...?

[ And flicking the feed to video because what is making a good impression? He's at his desk, fingers interlaced under his chin and leaning back in his armchair. ]

My name is Johann Faust V and as it stands, I've undertaken the task of forming a maid cafe within the city. We aren't paying to start but you do get to make use of the cafe's facilities during your break.

How about it?

[Hmmm, what an interesting fellow. Her own feed flickers to video now, showing that she's outside in the plaza to be exact.]

If you don't mind having someone who hasn't had much involvement in the working world, Mister Faust, then I would enjoy the opportunity. That and being paid isn't all that important to me.

[Oh right, names too.]

I'm Ryoko Asakura, by the way.

As long as you're willing to work then that's perfectly fine.

[ ...okay, this one will fit right into the maid uniform. This is the best idea ever. ]

I've managed to gather a few others who I think will do just fine in the cafe. When we're ready to hold a planning meeting, I'll send you a line.

I am! Very willing to work, I mean.

[So happy. And hey, she's in a high school uniform at the moment, so she'd fit in anything super japanese and/or moe, Faust.]

Excellent! I'll see you around then, Miss Asakura.

[ Mhm. This is perfect. All the moe. Come to him. ]
