[All things considered, Anise shouldn't be too surprised. Luceti's done weirder things in the past, at least this experiment - if that's what it is - isn't hurting anyone. What really matters is that her housemates are back from that stupid draft.]

[Still, that doesn't make it any less annoying. You'd think living on the almost-outskirts of town

Hello there! Look at yourself. Now back to me. Now back to yourself. Now BACK to me. Sadly, you are not a monster.

[galddigger]

[... Blinks.]

O-of course I'm not a monster! What are you saying?!

[iamonacow]

I'm saying that if you listen to Grover then you will learn all about the word on! Look down. Now back up. [A shirt falls out of the sky to land on Grover's head.] Where am I? [As he shakes his head a boat suddenly appears beneath him.] Oh! I am on a boat!

[galddigger]

[Wh-what even. What the heck is this thing??]

What are you talking about - there isn't any boat anywh- [Oh no, wait, there is. What the hell.]

[alittlesilver]

...Am I being too loud?

[galddigger]

[Oh, oh it's tiny!Nephry...! Anise shuts up and puts on a smile for her, even if she's getting really confused. Another experiment? Again?]

Oh, no! Not you, Nephry! I promise. You're being nice and quiet and that's great, 'cause everyone else is being a pain!

[alittlesilver]

[she still looks...upset.]

I'll be quieter.

[galddigger]

[Aw, don't be upset, Nephry!]

I'm not mad at you Nephry! I'm sorry if I scared you.

[Hello, Anise. There is now a cake just within reach of where you are right now.

It is a very delicious cake.]

[galddigger]

[.... What. She didn't make any cake - where the heck did this one come from?]

[It looks amazing, though.]

[... But she doesn't know where it's been!]

[caketease]

[It's been here all day (yet retains its rich, moist deliciousness), waiting for you, Anise.]

[galddigger]

[Oh, well, huh. Maybe Ion went to the bakery and left it out here for her? Yeah, that's it!]

[Well, don't mind her, she'll just be taking a fork to spear it with, then!]

[an_innocent_one]

It's like a big party.

[galddigger]

Yeah, but what fun's a party if you didn't even invite any of these gatecrashers and--

[Wait wait hold up a sec.]

[The green haired kid looks like Ion, but it is not Ion...!]

Florian...?

[an_innocent_one]

Hi Anise. [He smiles happily. It's been awhile since he's seen her.] I thought parties are supposed to be fun?

[galddigger]

They are! I mean, they were. I dunno about this one - I'm not sure it's even a party at all, so... [wait, why are they talking about this, what - ]

But enough about that! Florian, did you just get here? How are you - oh, you don't have wings either, huh?

Hi bb~ I promised you, didn't I? XD

[bandana_blue]

[And have a familiar figure leaning against the wall of her house, smirking.] Rest? Why do you need to rest, kid?

ajsdfhjahjahf YES YES YOU DID ;'D <3 (also 1/3)

[galddigger]

[She is so frustrated that she answers without even registering who asked the question, pfft.]

I'm not the one who needs it! One of my housemates just got back from that stupid dra-

[galddigger]

[Hey, hold on a sec, that voice...! Looking behind her--]

[galddigger]

[There are no words! Anise kind of squeals in excitement and is rushing right over to tackle him in a bonecrushing hug.]

Locke! You're back!
