You mean he lives in there, too? [okay now this is getting weird]

Uh, well .... I don't think you were here for it, but do you remember ever reading about a "Nelo Angelo" attack?

Well when he's not out doing whatever he does. Hitting on women, probably.

[ LOL like Jr. is one to talk but his flirting is innocent. ...Because it has to be. ]

Uh, that sounds kinda familiar. I was holed up with the old journal for a week when I first arrived.

It was a loss, though, wasn't it? I know it caused a lot of destruction...

He is kind of flirtatious ... but I didn't really think anything of it.

Uh, yeah, well. That guy is here.

... And he's kind of insane.

[a pause]

... And I might have sort of dated him a few years ago?

[ This is Jr. not really reacting. Because who is surprised? You have an insane type, Ino, and he'd honestly worry about you ever meeting his brother. Good thing Albedo hates the vaginas. ]

Well shit, no wonder you want to hide out. You should warn the rest of the castle, too. You aren't hurt, are you?

[ Will Jr. have to get angry? ]

[thank you for not judging her jr

at least not out loud]

No, I'm fine. And he made it pretty clear publicly that he would be causing problems, so I'm not too worried about warning people.

I'm mostly just worried about what will happen if he comes across a copy of the old journal. Last time he came back, it ... well, he was pretty pissed off about what happened when he was here before. He'd been here a long time and changed a lot before I dated him.

[ It's okay because Jr. can't claim any type without it sounding dirty. He wins at being judged forever, and he knows it. ]

I mean a warning specific abilities we should worry about, or triggers.

[ Jeez Ino jeez, this is really troublesome news. ]

So... I guess that means the calm may not last much longer.

[LOL poor babbu ....]

... Well, that I'm not sure about. He's ... sort of my second permanent loss, too, so a lot of the things I might have known that would be helpful are gone. But I do know that he's half demon, uses a katana, and that he can heal on his own. [LMFAO SOUND FAMILIAR ....]

I don't think he's stupid enough to stir up a big fuss. But I'd rather not have him know where to find me.

Who else is still here that knows about his abilities?

Guts and Dante are the only people I know of who actually fought him one on one, and they're gone, but ...

[a pause]

--Oh! Yuan! Yuan will know. They were good friends.

That's perfect. He'll probably address it at the meeting, then, and someone can relay it all to everyone else.

Yeah, hopefully. Though I think the best thing is probably just to stay away from him in general.

Obviously. But people should be prepared.

Yeah.

I wish I could help more ... [sob, damn memories 8(]

It's not your fault. Maybe in this case the castle was merciful, if he's as bad as it sounds.

Just chill out here for as long as you need and don't worry about it. I'll talk to Yuan and handle it, okay?

... Thanks, I guess. [a pause ...] There's also a gift from him that I'm not sure what to do with.

What gift?

They're ... knives. Throwing knives. They have ice magic on them.

From years ago? What is there to do about them?

No, it was more recent, when he came back. I don't really know why, but after he got really angry, then he sent me a present at Christmas.

... I don't know. I've never used them because I thought they might be cursed or something.

...And you've hung onto them this whole time? Maybe you should just bury them somewhere.

Yeah ... maybe that's the best thing to do.

Like in the Dead Zone. Somewhere only you'd think to look, so you'll know where they are in an emergency.

Yeah, that'd probably be best. I guess I'll go scout somewhere out in a little bit ...

You want to borrow one of the cars?

Nah, I can walk fine. Plus, the car will just attract attention.
