*There is a dull thud, and then the feed flickers on - it seems somebody has thrown the book onto the ground in disgust. That somebody is a petite-looking blonde girl in the standard New Feather sundress, though her hair is tied up in tails by two black ribbons that some might say make her look like she has rabbit ears.

And she is absolutely livid; all but steaming as she speaks sharply out loud.* --the meaning of this?

Is this some pathetic joke? Have you any idea of with whom you're dealing? To take someone like me and affix these... appendages - not to mention to forcibly change my clothing? How disgusting. I feel as though I shall never be again, thanks to the hands of you perverted, mouth-breathing imbeciles.

Nago, Gii, where are you? Come here at once! Every time I imagine you cannot possibly become more useless, you prove me wrong.

Whatever feeble-minded idiot has summoned me to this place, I demand to be returned this very instant! If you are hasty, I might even deign to show you mercy - the longer you drag your heels, the more excruciating my retribution will become.

Of course. I could be you. *Slams the journal shut* This... this is ludicrous.

[Ha ha, funny. B|] Get used to it.

I see no reason why I should! How utterly intolerable. Do you really think I will stand by and let myself become some scientist's plaything?

And just what the hell are you going to do?

*And... okay, Rachel is momentarily at a loss for words. Savor it?* ...I will wring the life from those responsible and feed them to my flowers, of course.

[Typical. He turns to start walking back to the village, with or without Rachel and his journal.]

Take a number.

*And she shouts after him, not yet moving* Ragna, you are many things. You are a crude, boorish lout of a man, but I would have never imagined you to be so complacent that you would sit and take this indignity. Have you the self-respect of a dog?

What the hell made you think I would just sit here and take it? [He turns back to her.] I've got so much shit on my plate here, it's not even funny!

With Terumi running around like he owns the place, leaving is the last thing on my agenda.

*And that makes her literally stop right in her tracks.* Terumi...?

Terumi is here?!

Oh, did I forget to mention that? My bad.

[He's obviously just in a really shitty mood, even if he hadn't seen Terumi in quite a while. Months even.]

Curb your insolent little tongue or I will tear it out. If Terumi is in this place, then...

...he is not the type to sit back and let opportunities pass by. What has he done?

You mean besides making an enemy of everyone in the damn village? He kidnapped Noel for a bit, but we sorted that out ourselves.

[Totally leaving out the "and he kicked my ass hard" tidbit.]

*Rachel told you you wouldn't last more than a few minutes against him, Ragna. :(* Kidnapping Noel Vermillion? Does he truly have only one plan?

...at the very least, if this place is aware of that worm's true nature, he will have few rotten little warrens in which to hide. It is a very tarnished silver lining, but one nonetheless.

[He shakes his head.] It went differently than it did back home. More like he did it just to screw with us all.

It's probably the reason I haven't seen his ass running around for awhile.

Of course. With no Amaterasu Master Unit here to destroy, he would have no need of such a weapon - that much should be obvious.

Do you truly believe Terumi the type to lie dormant with his tail between his legs? He may be a filthy, scheming little phantom but he is not the type to relax.

I dunno, Rabbit. Last thing I remember was everyone beating the shit out of him.

Not that I'm just gonna sit around and wait for him to make a move.

If you did, I would be most disappointed in you, Mr. Grim Reaper. ...though I would have liked to be in this place to witness such an event.

So that's two times that you missed that sorta thing, right?

So it would seem, unfortunately.

Apparently, I must tear him limb from limb myself if I am ever to see it occur.

You can do that once I'm through with him.

Oh, I dare say you've had quite enough time with that mutt already. Must you really be so selfish? Not to say that tact has ever been your strong suit, mind you.
