❀ Episode 04 ❀ [Dictated]

[therealrisette]

[People met while a fairy, and all other friends]

Hey, if anyone hasn't heard yet, I'm back to normal!

[She had actually planned on making the announcement as soon as it happened, but then the whole thing with Adachi happened and Nora changed back the same day. She got a little sidetracked.]

So no more wings or landing in people's hands! Even though I kinda miss the wings. I had fun with Nora-chan and Colette-chan and Sugar-chan!

[Yep, she officially doesn't feel it would be presumptuous to refer to Nora as a close enough friend anymore.]

But I've only gotten a chance to meet Nora-chan properly, so is anyone else free? I've been waiting to really meet you guys for weeks, y'know!

[deductiongeek]

Oh? That was fast.

1/2

[therealrisette]

Oh, Conan-kun!

[She sounds happy to hear from him - she really wanted to meet him again once she was back to normal! He was a cute kid when he was a giant to her, but he must be even cuter normally.]

2/2

[therealrisette]

[His response was a little strange, though.]

Is two weeks fast? It seemed pretty long to me...

[Well, almost two weeks. Three counting Wonderland.]

[deductiongeek]

A week is the most common, but there have been people stuck in that kind of situation for a month or more.

[therealrisette]

Yeah, I've heard.

[A brief pause.]

... To be honest, I was starting to think it'd be a lot longer, too.

[It was her first loss, so the word "forever" might have bounced around in her head a few times. Or more than a few.

But it's over now! Maybe she can talk Conan into a proper meeting.]

Hey, are you busy? Your big sis could use some company!

[Not without teasing a little bit, of course.]

[deductiongeek]

No, I'm not doing anything right now. [Just reading his way through the library's mystery section for the tenth time.]

[therealrisette]

[Rise, naturally, takes this as ironclad agreement to hang out together.]

Great! You wanna meet me here? I'm at room 725.

[psych0p0mps]

oh that is great!
it finally wore off huh

[Written back!]

[therealrisette]

Yeah, it took a while!

[The journal picks up a light chuckle as Rise writes.]

Thanks a lot for helping me out. I don't know what I would have done all by myself for almost two weeks!

[psych0p0mps]

im glad i could help :)
hehe at least you didnt run into any frogs in the meantime

[therealrisette]

[Ohgod, that mental image...]

That didn't happen to you, did it?!

[psych0p0mps]

no no!
but i did get turned into a frog once
my tongue was absolutely crazy

[therealrisette]

Ew, that sounds so gross!

[Rise's actually laughing on her end, though.]

I'd rather be tiny and still human than something like that!

Dictated

[foin]

Back to normal, huh? That's great!

[therealrisette]

Oh hi, Asuna-san!

[Rise's sounding very perky today. Well, even perkier than usual.]

It is! I can finally get around the castle by myself again.

[Whoops, that might have accidentally implied something else. She quickly backpedals before saying anything else.]

It was really fun spending time with you, though! We should do it again sometime.

[foin]

[Asuna can't help but giggle in response to that.]

I can imagine. Don't worry, I knew what you meant. And yes, we should.

[therealrisette]

Have you been to the Four Seasons room again to see the beach yet?

[It's another snow day today. Yes, Rise keeps track. But she's curious if Asuna has checked out one of her favorite places in the castle.]

We should definitely go together someday. I bet you'd look really cute in the right bathing suit!

[Listen to the idol. She knows what she's talking about.

She's also subtly teasing, but she does honestly believe it!]

[foin]

Not yet, no... Eh?

[She's a little taken aback at the boldness of the statement.]

Ah, maybe.

[therealrisette]

["Maybe"? Such reactions are not allowed.]

Come on, you've got a cute face and a great figure! What's the "maybe" about it?

[Yep, she's just going to shamelessly say that in front of the whole castle. Don't you know Rise Kujikawa is the authority on all things attractive?]

/late late face

[adorbs]

[woah... Woah! Nanako has been so busy settling in, that she hasn't really had time to take stock of the people who are in Paradisa. So she's completely caught of guard (but so very excited) when she hears that familiar voice]

R-Rise-chan?

[therealrisette]

[Wait, that voice...]

Nanako-chan?!!!

[There's actually someone else from home in the castle that Rise would want around?!]

When did you get here?!

[She sounds super excited and maybe just a tiny bit worried. Did Nanako think she was here all alone?]

[adorbs]

U-Um, a little while ago! Have you been here a long time? [on the opposite end of the spectrum, Nanako doesn't sound worried... just super excited to hear a familiar voice here!]

[therealrisette]

[That tiny bit of worry dissipates as soon as she hears Nanako answer back.]

Not really, nope! I've only been here a little over a month.

Where are you right now?

[Senpai would want her looking after Nanako in a place like this, she's sure of it...]

[adorbs]

I'm in my room, but I can come find you.

Where's your room?

[therealrisette]

[Heh, that's Nanako for ya. Rise's sure she can handle herself for the short trip through the castle. Besides, most of the people in the castle aren't dangerous as far as she's seen.]

I'm on the seventh floor. Room 725.

[Rise immediately starts straightening things out around her room. It's not every day she gets to see a friend from home here! Besides, she wouldn't want Nanako seeing even a little bit of a mess in her room. She's got to be a good example and all!]
