2.2 ✞ dictated;

[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!!]

[you're lucky, Adachi, he has dumb blind faith in everyone from the get-go and wants to believe you're a good guy. also praising Nanako won you points in his book. /naive forever...]

Time has a way of sneaking up on you around here! It really does... and it's a little surprising, considering all it can put you through. Good, and bad.

Yeah, I guess so. Although boy can the bad ever get bad. I remember this one time, I got kidnapped by like, va-

[aaaaaaaaaaand then it suddenly comes back like a bag of bricks]

-Ah!

[s-sorry abel....... ;;]

[kidnapped by--] Va... ahh? [is this a thing. a thing he isn't... up on, because.]

Vam...pires...

[is this really the same guy though he sounds so different ADACHI IS UNSURE... 6__9]

[...vampires? Abel hasn't connected the dots yet -- his time spent on that loss is... well, fuzzy at best right now... but the word 'vampire' is enough to get his attention.]

You were kidnapped by... vampires?

A-Ahh... you know what, it was nothing. N-No big deal or anything.

[sldkjgsdg WHY DO YOU SOUND SO SUSPICIOUSLY PSYCHED OUT SON.]

...Are you alright? You don't have to talk about that kind of thing if you're... ah. If it's a sensitive subject, Mr. Adachi...?

Erm... yeah, that's what it is. That.

Also it's kind of all in the past too right? So who cares!

[probably best if Abel doesn't know, he figures]

[he thinks he's just reassuring himself... alskjg]

...Mm, right. It's in the past!

I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through something like that, in any case. Paradisa can be... downright cruel, sometimes. I'll admit that much.

Yeah... can it ever.

Anyway, it was nice to finally meet you, sir.

--There's no need to be so formal! Really!

Please, call me Abel. From now on, I'd like it if we were friends.

Ah... [THERE'S THAT "F" WORD AGAIN O__O;]

A-Alright, Mr. Abel...

And try not to sound so nervous, would you? Honestly, I don't bite! [...HAHAHA oops]

[URK.]

Ah... haha, I'll try but people have always described me as "mousy" you know...

Ah... well, if it's part of your personality, I couldn't fault you for that! But such a nice man doesn't have a reason to be so timid, Mr. Adachi!

[n.....ice.......YEAH SURE WE'LL GO WITH THAT (okok)]

I guess so...

[hmm...]

Haha, maybe Dojima-san was just bold enough to make up for the both of us.

[maybe. He still has very little idea what the man like overall... it wasn't like he was here for long. Still someone dragged him back to his place enough times for him to remember and someone had to have more experience, so maybe this conclusion was right]

Ha-- [he laughs a little, at that.] He is the very strong type, isn't he? I think he was blessed with Nanako on purpose-- you see, the fates knew that she'd need a man unafraid to chase away all the men chasing after her heart when she got old enough, clearly!

[okay that makes him genuinely laugh] I think you're onto something there! She's definitely going to need that.

The only thing this darn castle's done right was keep her all small and precious and prolong that from happening for a little while longer. [and he absolutely means that. GROWING UP MEANS BECOMING A TEENAGER AND BECOMING A TEENAGER MEANS BECOMING A WHORE!!!]

...So wait... did you meet Dojima-san?

[and wrote fanfic about him and his OWN partner from home doing manly things in town like rescuing Nanako from burning buildings... NO REALLY THIS IS A THING--]

--Um, yes! Yes, but it was some time ago. He left and returned since then... and left again, it seems. He was a very impressive man...!

[a.......bel....... LMFAO.....................]

Oh... Oh, that's right! He was here before that other time! [someone went and checked up on those too several months ago.] Gosh, I nearly forgot. I wasn't even here at the time. [except he was. Just. He didn't stay long either.

Brief pause]

He really needs to stop doing that...

[look you could've read it, Adachi-bro, but now the journals are wiped. you are so sad you missed that piece of beauty, aren't you. THERE WERE RIPPLING ABS AND EVERYTHING.]

...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...

[NO HE THINKS HE'S PRETTY GLAD HE MISSED THAT. REALLY, REALLY GLAD.]

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.]

[look don't be jealous. Adachi, you can be in the next fanfic okok.]

[--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.
