[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.

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'?

[magentarific]

Just Yuri's probably fine, though. I don't need a title.

[selfinteresting]

You said people call your Yurippe sometimes, right?

[magentarific]

That works too.

[selfinteresting]

I can stick with Yuri, just making sure I have things right.

[magentarific]

[ Like she'd ever admit that she actually likes being called Yurippe unless she's having an emotionally charged moment. Psh. ]

Whatever works for you, Kyrie.

[selfinteresting]

[tsun tsun]

No, no, it's whatever works for you. 'President Yurippe', maybe?

[magentarific]

I just said I'm fine with anything as long as it's not weird. President Yurippe sounds pretty weird, just stick with no title.

[selfinteresting]

[She shrugs]

Too bad. Yurippe it is, then.

[She's going to guess saying 'no title' rather than 'Yuri' means she might like Yurippe a little more.]

[magentarific]

[ Even if it's a lame nickname, it's the only nickname she ever received. ]

Great. Just Kyrie's fine with you, right? Mrs. Ushiromiya is going to make me think weird things about Battler and calling you "Battler's mom" just seems rude.

[selfinteresting]

Yes, just Kyrie. Don't worry, Battler assured me he never had any strange thoughts about me.

[Because when they talked about the mom situation of course she teased him that he wouldn't be able to admire her breasts or anything :))]

[magentarific]

Really? I would've just assumed that he would have and just decided never to talk about it again. [ Little laugh. ]

[selfinteresting]

Ah, that's true, his word can't necessarily be trusted...
