[pigtailed_loli]

[Hello, Luceti! On this fine day, you'll be greeted with a close-up look at a certain pigtailed loli as she shoves her face close to the camera while examining her journal. When she leans back slightly, you'll be able to see that she's wearing the white cotton sundress of a New Feather.]

What's this thing?

[The camera shakes violently as Anise

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[That's a voice he hasn't heard in a while. Luke stares for a few seconds before it hits him that he should probably let her know he's here, though he has to squint when Anise shakes her journal.]

Anise!

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Ah, the voice of her sweet prince~ So Luke is stuck here too, huh.]

Luke! Ohhh, it's such a relief to hear your voice again! Where are you? Can you come rescue me? ♥

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[... Yup, it's Anise all right.]

Yeah, sure. Where are you?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

[What's with that expression. AREN'T YOU GLAD TO SEE HER. ;~; ]

I'm almost at the village! [Well, actually, Ion is coming for her...But no need to tell Luke that.]

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[WELL YES. But he wouldn't see this as a "rescue attempt". Oh Anise.

There's a scrape of the chair, like he's pushing it back behind him.]

Okay, uh... from where? North or south?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

I don't know! [Hysterical, weepy tone, just for you, my dashing white knight!] I've never been here before!

[Voice]

[cakeblocked]

[... Ah, so she doesn't remember.]

You - L-Look, it's okay, just... what can you see?

[Voice]

[pigtailed_loli]

Just some buildings. I think I see a number 15 painted on one of them?

[Voice/Action]

[cakeblocked]

15...?

I think I'm actually right by you! Hold on a second...

[And thus he gathers his journal, slides on his shoes and heads outside. House 15 is just a little ways past community housing 2, where he is, so when he walks outside he looks down the path, and calls out to her when he thinks he sees her.]

Anise!

[pigtailed_loli]

[Are you prepared for the Giant Loli Tackle-Hug of Doom? No? Too bad, Anise is running over and throwing her arms around your waist.]

Luke! You won't believe how scared I've been!

[Action]

[cakeblocked]

[Which causes Luke to take a few steps back and to the side, arms flailed out, as if the two of them just spun in a circle. Once he gets his balance back, Luke lets his arms hang at his side with a look of exasperation before he lifts one hand up to rest it on top of her head.]

Yeah, I really don't believe it. [There's a slight chuckle to his voice, too. Man, it's good to have Anise back.]

Re: [Action]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Did she accidentally step on your foot as she pulls away and puts her hands around her hips, glaring at Luke? Oopsies.]

You're such a big meanie, Luke. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for you to respond to my letter, and now that we've met again you accuse me of lying? It's not fair!

[Action]

[cakeblocked]

[Hence him yanking his foot away and putting his own hands on his hips with a glare, I bet. But as she talks and mentions the letter... the glare fades, and his hands slide off of his hips. Ah... he hadn't thought about those letters in a while.]

... Sorry. It wasn't my fault, if... that makes it better.

[Action]

[pigtailed_loli]

Hmm? Why not? [She smells delicious gossip.] You need to take responsibility for your actions, you know!

[Action]

[cakeblocked]

I know! [It's said slightly forcefully, because of course he knows; it's the whole reason he changed. But this genuinely wasn't his fault!

... Sigh.] My... dad hid every letter for me for a month. I didn't even know you sent me one until I left.

[Action]

[pigtailed_loli]

[Wow. Anise gets frustrated with her parents sometimes, but she couldn't imagine them doing anything like that to her.] But why would he do that? Jeez, your dad's such a jerk!
