[The journal flicks on to record a frustrated Ratatosk. ... Or is he? He's definitely got Ratatosk's appearance and loud mouth, but something seems a bit off.]

Figures they'd turn me into him. Those damned Malnosso are so predictable. As if there weren't enough people running around with this appearance, already.

[GLARE]

You ...

[judge_evening]

Yuri Lowell. Judging from that tone, you're actually falling for this would-be disguise.

[once_knighted]

I am not falling for any disguises. Your appearance merely upsets me.

[judge_evening]

Completely understandable.

[once_knighted]

Then who are you really? [Whoops, that came out as more of a snobby demand than an actual question.]

[judge_evening]

I'll give you three guesses.

1/2

[once_knighted]

Only three? Considering who you've become, that number should be much--

2/2

[once_knighted]

-- ... never mind.

[Pause. He's almost positive that this isn't Emil, as his reaction would probably be more "I'M FINALLY FREE >D" and less "Go figure :|". No way to know who Ratatosk has pissed off in the past. Hrm ... thinking back on when Ratatosk called him and that other person out during that other transformation experiment, it'd make sense that someone like that would hate Ratatosk just as much as Ratatosk hates him ... that and that person and Ratatosk have been at ends publicly via journal posts, so that must mean--]

... Richter?

[judge_evening]

"Jackpot", I believe the term is.

[once_knighted]

So you're Ratatosk for now, huh? [... Wait, a sec.] How's Emil taking it?

[judge_evening]

Better than I expected.

[once_knighted]

Whatever that means, I guess it's good.

[judge_evening]

Obviously.
