[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.

[ The video pops up and Yuri immediately holds a hand up in a 'stop' gesture. ]

I don't know Ange, I'm just here to laugh at how big of a dork Battler looks like in that picture. You should bring out the baby photos next.

[She laughs] Doesn't he? His hair looks better now that it's a little longer, and, well, the vest...

I wish I had any baby pictures of him to show. But unfortunately he's the one who owns all of them. I wonder if it's possible to find things in the shops if you don't technically own them...?

[well...she might have...saved one...and cut Asumu out...Yuri can see if she asks really nicely...]

So you're saying I can see it if I harass him a whole lot~? His hair still looks kind of like a dead bird.

[selfinteresting]

I can't guarantee anything, but maybe. I'll work at it too, I'd like to see some myself!

I think it looks like he backed up against a wall.

[magentarific]

Backed up against a wall and glued it there maybe. Looks like he's about to get backed against a wall about photos soon. [ The worst part is that Yuri wants them solely so that he can screw with him about them.. ] You distract him and I'll sneak through his things to see if he's got them hidden somewhere.

[selfinteresting]

[Oh, she feels the same way]

Sounds like a good plan, maybe you can sneak into his room while he's distracted this evening.

[magentarific]

Since I've got your permission I don't feel remotely bad. [ 8|b Mom-permission counts for anything. ]

[It's her house, she pays the nonexistent bills!!]

Good, go right ahead, just be sure to share you findings with me, I have a few things in mind for them.

[magentarific]

Do you think Luceti has copy machines?

[selfinteresting]

Oh, there must be some somewhere, I'm mostly concerned about whether or not they'll be able to enlarge to poster size.

[magentarific]

Hmm, well I'm going to ask a bunch of people some things soon so I'll add that to my list of question. If all else fails we can hire a painter to do a mural of one on the side of a building.

[selfinteresting]

Ah, I think Ange's boyfriend is a painter, maybe we can get a good discount.

video; ffff sorry wrong username I'm tagging at work ;;

[magentarific]

I like the way you think, Mrs. Ushiromiya~ [ A discount on free is the best discount. ] That's the guy Battler was trying to start a war with a while back right?

ahaha it's okay

[selfinteresting]

[It means they pay you instead, right]

Yes, Keiichi, I don't think he got very far with it, though.

I'm just going to stay logged in on this username now

[magentarific]

Of course he didn't, it was stupid.

[selfinteresting]

And Keiichi has more friends than Battler anticipated.

[magentarific]

And Battler's friends thought he was being a crazy person on top of that.

[selfinteresting]

That's right, no one was on his side at all. But try living in the same house and dealing with his screaming right there.

[magentarific]

I was on his side. Sort of. It's not like I was on the other guy's side. I was on his future dignity's side.

[selfinteresting]

Oh? What do you mean?

[magentarific]

I'm his leader and therefore argued with him because there was no way he was getting out of that without looking like a total ass.

[selfinteresting]

His leader? [She laughs] That's exactly what I told him as well - as if he doesn't make a fool of himself already.

[magentarific]

Of course, he joined the SSS. [ She shrugs, but smiles. ] The more fun for the rest of us.

[selfinteresting]

Hmm, I don't think you told me about that, what is it? If it has to do with making fun of Battler, I'm in. Otherwise, let's form our own club, okay?

[magentarific]

The SSS, named after the Shinda Sekai Sensen back in my world, is a rebellion group who is planning to stop the experiments, free everyone from the Malnosso, and find a way to get anyone who chooses to go back to their world back. We're not going to give up just because it seems impossible either and you can help even if you don't want to go home. [ On a lighter note though, Yuri's smile turns to a smirk. ] I wouldn't mind forming a club for that though~
