[Remember this picture, Ange? (doesn't Battler look like a dork (doesn't dad look as cool as ever)) Mom managed to find it.  And now it's being broadcast, isn't it great...

]

Happy birthday, Ange~ Will you come over for dinner tonight? We can have a little party just like we used to.  Well, not quite the same seeing as your father isn't around, but we all know the highlight is having Battler there anyway.
I want to make up for our absence, in some small way. 

[Locked from Ange]

I'm extending an open invitation to any of Ange's friends as well.  I'll be making dinner as well as dessert and you're welcome to stay as little or long as you like.  The only condition is, please keep it a secret from Ange, I want it to be a surprise.

[Smooth isn't really what I'd call it...]

Do me proud so I can brag to everyone I know, alright?

[divinacommedia]

[he's pretty fly shut up]

Uwaahhh.... bragging about your son's abilities to gather information.... is that really something to talk about?

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

[pretty fly for a white asian boy]

Why shouldn't it be? I'll write to my parents and tell them you're right on track.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

...Y...you'll even tell them all about me? Come on! I don't want to follow any kind of shady business!

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

[oh, does he know about that...]

Maybe you can inherit the family business.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

[no, but sleuthing sounds shady okay.]

...What?! Dad's business?! No way!

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

[well just a little...]

Oh no, I meant my family, maybe they'll be impressed. But that could work too.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

...What ...does your family spy on people or something?

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

Hmm, not quite, but you're on the right track. Ange probably knows, I'm sure the whole entourage went to my funeral looking for money.

[divinacommedia]

...Kyrie-san... I can't help but get the feeling... your family is corrupt...

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

They are, more than somewhat. I wouldn't want you to think, 'Kyrie-san isn't as cool as I thought', but maybe you have a right to know about your genes. Then again, after that conference, you shouldn't be shocked by much, right? Adults are awful, don't become one.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

[......oh, now he gets it.]

W-well... I wouldn't say that's not cool or anything but- ...still, that's a little scary to think about.

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

I guess it is a little cool. [She laughs]

Don't think I ever wanted to be involved with that, alright? They wanted me to be the next head, so I was pretty miserable there. Besides, they disowned me eighteen years ago.

[Thanks Battler :))]

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

[you're welcome :)) ]

Ah.... if you were miserable, isn't it for the best if they disowned you? [he kind of ran away from the family for years too before he came sauntering back....]

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

It is, I'm glad they kicked me out rather than taking the risk of running away and being killed for it. You're the lucky one in that.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

H-hey! Are you for real Kyrie-san? We come from a yakuza family....?!

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

Is it just hitting you now? I'm serious! If they hadn't disowned me, you might have become the head after me, even.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

...Not really just now, I figured it out before but- now it's just confirming.

D-damn...! I can't imagine me as the head of a yakuza family! No way! [he's too much of a knight.]

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

I can't imagine you covered in tattoos.

But, you know, it would hardly be you at all, I was completely different back then.

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

I don't want to have those anyways!

...Oh were you? What were you like? [STORY TIME?!?]

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

[Like Kasumi/EP7 all the time...?]

You really are just like Rudolf, I thought you would be horrified, but you want to hear about it? Well, generally humourless, overly serious, cruel...a superior attitude, that sort of thing? They raised me that way, so it was pretty deeply instilled.

[Okay maybe not so...entirely different...]

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

[FUN FUN TEA ROOM.]

Ooohh I see... now look at you! Generally you just try and tease me and Ange and try to get us flustered. [but yeah- he can still see some of what she was like before, apparently.]

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

That's thanks to your father, aren't you glad? Nothing to say about the rest though, hm? Am I really that bad?

[after watching EP3 and EP4, yeah, that bad :I not to mention the adult's conversations...at least Battler hasn't seen EP5 or EP7?]

[filtered]

[divinacommedia]

Oh great... that old bastard.... looks like he was able to do something right after all.

[yeah he knows alla bout the third and fourth games... so her being in such a family makes sense, since she's able to wield that gun. and miss eva]

N-no you're not bad at all~! Ihihi!

[filtered]

[selfinteresting]

Don't you think you and Ange would count as 'something right' as well?

[Oh, Battler, don't you know mom and dad have a bunch of guns at home they practice with n_n uwooo don't bring that up]

I don't know, you don't sound so sure...did you catch me breaking someone's knees?
