[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.

[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.

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.

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.

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~

[selfinteresting]

Ah, that's pretty ambitious. Have you been finding many people to join?

Maybe teasing Battler could be on the agenda.

[magentarific]

A few. There are a lot of people who won't, either because they don't want to follow me, they don't want to get out, or they don't think it's possible. Which is fine. I'd rather have people who still think we can accomplish something. It may be small right now, but it's solid.

Joining the SSS is a full-time pass to teasing any of its members as long as no one starts crying.

[selfinteresting]

Of course, it has to be fun for everyone.

[But if they're idiots like those other Ushiromiya parents we can mock them relentlessly, right...]

If you'll have me, I'll join. I don't need to go home at all, but plenty do, and there must be some way, if there's a way for us to be brought here.

[magentarific]

[ The SSS is solely composed of people that Yuri will call idiots willingly. ]

Exactly! It was Kyrie right? Welcome to the SSS, Kyrie!

[selfinteresting]

[Wow Kyrie's not an idiot?! She's just joining to be polite and more Battler teasing rights, okay.]

Glad to be aboard, captain. [She laughs]

[magentarific]

[ Actual idiot-levels are irrelevant. It's more of an affectionate term than anything... ]

Captain? Hmm, not a bad title but it's probably more like President or General or Miss Leader or something. Boss? I should probably come up with an actual title.

[selfinteresting]

[Oh, alright, this is fine]

How about 'Your Majesty'?
