The 18th Day of June; [action]

[flower_of_hell]

[HEY HOUSE 10 GUESS WHO'S BACK. RENA'S BACK. Since jumping through the portal landed her a cicada voice, she's been avoiding the place until she could speak normally. Now that the effects have worn off, she finds herself in front of the house, strangely hesitant to let herself in

[NO I DIDN'T HOW DARE YOU STOP WITH YOUR FILTHY LIES.

But hey there, Minato. Rena looks up from her position and offers him a slight wave.]

[flower_of_hell]

...Hello, Minato-kun. How are you feeling?

[It's fun to talk. Especially when you don't sound like a cicada. Rena is determinedly sounding cheerful, although the upbeat tone in her voice does not match her face.]

[offallingsnow]

[Nephry wants to check on Rena too. Because she knows the decision the girl made, and what happened to people afterward. So it's good to see her sitting outside]

[flower_of_hell]

[Oh hey Nephry. Rena gives you the same smile and wave as Minato once she notices you coming by.]

[offallingsnow]

[she'll wave back with a smile]

[flower_of_hell]

[She is quite happy that she can use her voice now. Let's try it.]

How are you feeling, Nephry-san?

[She's back! Have a blue hedgehog bothering you now, Rena.]

Rena? Hey, what's wrong?

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[YAY.]

Oh...hello, Sonic-kun! How are you?

[...Oh man, he was one of the people who said he didn't trust it, wasn't he? Let's not mention we went through it.]

[action]

[blue_velocity]

[He didn't, but no one really knew if it would or wouldn't work either. ^^]

Doin' all right, thanks! What about you though? Something's bothering you?

[action]

[flower_of_hell]

[Augh, I couldn't remember who said what. BUT HE PROBABLY DIDN'T ENDORSE IT EITHER so she'll keep quiet. But she shakes her head and smiles cheerfully at Sonic before answering. Or trying to smile, anyway. Sonic may notice there's a certain degree of forcedness behind it.]

No, I'm okay, Sonic-kun! Rena's just thinking.

What are you doing out here, what?

[empires_honor]

[Have a stranger wondering by

Leo is walking around the city trying to get the lay of the land and just happens to be walking near house 10 while a sad-looking girl is sitting on the porch]

Good day Miss

[flower_of_hell]

[She glances up at Leo and smiles.]

Hello! Are you hear to see someone? Rena's never seen you before...

[...But most of her housemates are the social type so he might be one of their friends.]

[empires_honor]

[He could be here visiting somebody, yet there is nobody in the house that he knows yet]

I've only just arrived Miss Rena. I don't believe I've met anybody from your home yet, but I am pleased to make your acquaintance never the less.

Sir Leo Cristophe.

[flower_of_hell]

[Well that explains why she's never seen you. She purposely puts on a bright smile for him.]

Welcome to Luceti then! It's really nice to meet you, Leo-san!

[stilldontgotit]

[... Well that's not a good sign.

Here, have a snarky brat to bug her.]

Rough day?

[flower_of_hell]

[It's Rena, Riku. Every day is a rough day. BUT she looks up at him and gives him a weak smile.]

...Kind of.

[stilldontgotit]

You up to talking about it?

[Not that he's a sensitive guy. Mostly he's got nothing better to do, and he is...at least a little concerned. Silly 'ku.]

[flower_of_hell]

[Oh Riku.]

...Everyone is probably mad.

[What is elaboration.]
