[maybe you remember this guy's voice, eh? cheerful and polite? he was a little... uh, confused over the Christmas vacation -- and while he sounds much the same, he's more sure of himself this time around! (is this a good thing? ...for you?)]
Good afternoon, Paradisa...! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, I guess... not as long as it had been before, huh?
Um-- it's Father Abel, and I have to offer my sincerest, deepest, and most humblest of apologies for the long radio silence! Things have been a little... strange, since coming back from Paris. I thought it was probably a good idea to get my head in order before saying hello again, but-- well.
~HELLO~! My fairest Paradisians, you have no idea how nice it is to be back and... well, myself again! [that part is half-right, at least, he swears...!! he'll just gloss over the whole, had-a-fake-life thing like a boss.] I never thought I'd say this with such enthusiasm, but... here I am, and it's quite true! I'm very sorry for leaving without much notice, but I suppose the castle doesn't really give warning about these kinds of things, does it? I'm just grateful I was able to come back... exactly how I left. Which is to say, veritably able to recall... everything, from before August of last year. I'm not sure how it... happened, or why, but...
I'm beginning to think ignorance is bliss, at times like these. [no really.]
[...]
And, might I add, while I'm at it... a little note for those of you who saw fit to convince me that the journal was some sort of possessed demonic VOLUME OF DEATH while I was, ah. Aforementioned 'blissfully ignorant?'
[here, my dears, is quite the dramatic pause... before his voice goes lower and takes on a more MENACING TONE.]
I may forgive, but I will not forget. What goes around, COMES around, my friends, and you too shall know what it is to live in incorrigible horror one day. It may not be by my hand... but karma? Has an even longer memory than an elephant, so just watch yourself. Next thing you know, you'll be in a tutu, clucking like a chicken atop the roof and singing the blues to the wind on some horrible loss, alright?! These things ALWAYS happen.
[HUFF. --oh right, moving right along:]
--Ah, and... thank you! To everyone else with moral fiber and a conscience who so kindly attempted to explain that I was not, in fact, stark raving mad and actually... a part of the castle's ministrations. Really... I'm very grateful... It's been a long while since I've been on that end of things, and it's reminded me of how scary it can sometimes be. We should be a little gentler on our newest faces, shouldn't we? Maybe we forget how crazy the prospect of all of this could seem.
--Oh, but -- before I ramble forever... Lilith, Caterina and I will be up-keeping the church again -- it's in the Satis Tower, for those of you who might not be aware -- and, I'm living on the sixth floor with Lilith, now! So you can stop by and say hello if you want, okay? If you forgot, or, if this is the first time you've heard my doubtlessly charming and suave voice over the journals... those doors are always open to anyone at all, so don't hesitate to come any time you'd like. I mean it!
And...
[a little pause, and then something of a contented exhale. his voice is a little softer.]
...It's good to be home.
[and for those of you who feel like catching up -- or just feel like investigating the church, he'll be hanging out in there today cleaning things up and tidying a bit, humming pleasantly. feel free to harass the lanky priest sweepin' a sweep.]
[ooc: open... for ALL THE THINGS over the journal or in the church. oh my god so much tl;dr i am so sorry slkdjgsdf... and a note!!: my apologies to anyone that was still backtagging with me on lj; it's died a horrible death and won't function on my laptop sob. if there's anything you need to sort out, don't hesitate to drop me a line!!]

Mr. Adachi;
...He does, doesn't he? There are quite a few people I wish I could staple to the castle walls to make sure they don't keep playing a vanishing act! Especially when things aren't all too good for them at home...
Abel;
Yeah... [oh god don't remind him of back home all that's waiting for him there is a likely death sentence gdit japan 6__9]
At least for those who don't have it good back home... well, judging by you and all these other people it might not be sending all of them back after all. [that's...one silver lining anyhow.]
Mr. Adachi;
[--SLKDJGSDF sob he would be all the sad if he knew bro... DON'T DIE GEEZ...]
It's possible, isn't it? But, I do have brief memories of returning home, before Paris. A little like when you're bumped on the head, and end up sleeping a long while... coming back remembering things from your world, like a dream. Both Paris and home are something like that, now.
Abel;
Oh, that... happens? [he doesn't personally know anyone that's happened to yet]
When you put it that way, it really shows how confusing this all can be...
Mr. Adachi;
he's not sorry]It is! Honestly, just thinking about it gives me a headache--! All of this is way too complicated for a man like me, Mr. Adachi! I'm going to leave figuring it all out to the likes of the brains of the castle, and I'd suggest you do the same...
Abel;
i'm not sorry either]That sounds like good advice... although I can't help but want to solve the mystery sometimes!
[it's true, his old journal was full of random notes... then he got bored with it and no longer cares. :')]
Mr. Adachi;
no one is sorry and everything is beautiful]You know, I can't blame you! But I suppose the frustration when you try is enough to deter you, at least for a little while. Though... I admit, sometimes I get sucked back into things from time to time when something interesting happens...
[dude it's castle ADD. it spreads like a contagion...]
Abel;
Mr. Adachi;
I could hardly fault you for that! It is a long trek, isn't it? Maybe we need to trek our way to the exercise room more often...
Abel;
Mr. Adachi;
Abel;
A little while before coming here I was in the hospital for a bit, actually. [and also in handcuffs and under constant surveillance] Even after leaving I never really fully recovered I guess...
Mr. Adachi;
Have you been looked at?
Abel;
...I think. [he's wrong]
Mr. Adachi;
Mr. Adachi; SURPRAIS 2/2 wow oops forgot the 1/2 slkdjsdg
Abel;
Mr. Adachi; sorry for the late tag!!! ;(
I can't have a member of my team slacking off, right?
Abel; It's okay!
[although that last bit takes him by surprise
hell this whole convo has]But uh... your... "team", sir?

Abel; oh lord... (also i claim the badly written japanese as IC (okok))
Mr. Adachi; WOULD YOU WEAR IT ALL THE TIME (look i'm kanji-blind, it's all good!)
Abel; sure. on the inside of his jacket. where no one can see it.
Mr. Adachi; ...no. no, this is not how we roll in TEAM NANA-BRO.
Abel; ok ok what about on his shirt. y'know. under his jacket. 50/50 chance of seeing it.
Mr. Adachi; ...okay yes this is moderately more acceptable. p_o
Abel; SCORE.
