[positivelycharged]

[hello luceti. there is currently a (possibly familiar) green-haired child hiding behind community building 5, wearing a pretty new-feather dress. are those pretty? i think they're pretty.

the kid looks kinda scared, huddled against the wall like that, and shivers on occasion while poking around with the magical bookmunicator.]

...I wish this book was a map.

Comments

[action] oh no that poor question mark...!

[positivelycharged]

Um...I guess so, yeah!

[not entirely sure what you're talking about but let's go for a tentative smile, yes. ignore the tears in that icon.]

[action] it does not belong! Don't pity it!

[failguardian]

[By that time, they're at the front of the house. Anise turns back to look at Florian.]

Does this ring any bells at all?

[action] but...!

[positivelycharged]

Bells?

[he looks at the house, then back at anise, shaking his head.]

[action] Who's the wiser one here? >|

[failguardian]

[SIGH] Well, it's gotta wear off eventually. Come on! I'll show you to your room.

[action] You? ;u;

[positivelycharged]

I have a room? [is it ion's room?]

[action] Yes yes so you have to obey me ^u^

[failguardian]

You live here! I think the Malnosso did something weird to you so you think you're Florian.

[action] o-oh well if you say so...'^'

[positivelycharged]

But I am--[then again if anise doesn't remember naming him florian, then maybe he isn't florian anymore..?]

[action] shhh shhh relax and just say yes....

[failguardian]

[...Oh, oops, she's making him upset.]

Don't worry about it! Whether you're Ion or Florian or whoever, you still need a home!

[action] yes...!

[positivelycharged]

[well he does like having a home.] Do you live here too, Anise?

[action] /spirits away for adventures in subjugating question marks

[failguardian]

Yep! A lot of our friends live here. Tear, Natalia, Nephry and...I guess you're friends with Dist. Sorta. [DOES NOT APPROVE.]

[action]

[positivelycharged]

I am? Who's Dist?

[action]

[failguardian]

[...This is even worse than she had thought.]

A reaaaaally bad guy! He's mean and rotten and vain and selfish! [A pause.] ...Well, I guess he can be nice sometimes. But you have to be careful around him!

[action]

[positivelycharged]

Really? Is he really that bad? But how can he be mean and selfish and nice..? [one of these traits does not seem to fit...]

[action]

[failguardian]

[STOP POINTING OUT THE FLAWS IN HER LOGIC]

That "nice' thing only happens sometimes! Booooo, it's not important! Just be careful, okay?

[action]

[positivelycharged]

O-okay...I'll be careful.

[HE'LL ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU ANISE even if you...think he's ion....]

[action]

[failguardian]

[Dragging him inside then!]

And here's your room!

[action]

[positivelycharged]

--Here?

[looking...!!]

[action]

[failguardian]

Do you remember anything now...?

[So much hope...!!!]

[action]

[positivelycharged]

[...shaking...his head.....]

[action]

[failguardian]

[Sighs and forces a quick smile.] How about you change out of that dress, at least?

[action]

[positivelycharged]

...Okay. [are there clothes in this room let's look around]

[action]

[failguardian]

[Better get out before he starts stripping...!]

I'll be in my room if you need me. [Oh yeah he might not know where it is.] It's the last room down the corridor!

[action]

[positivelycharged]

Oh--okay! [oh he found the clothes! let's just start stripping now then. is the door still open--]

[action]

[failguardian]

[Cryyyy Flo-chan remember to close the door next time! Luckily, Anise had the presence of mind to shut it before she left, head reeling from everything that had happened. "Florian" has to be some sort of weird Malnosso experiment, right? He's definitely Ion and not some creepy copy or anything!]
