[ There are a few slight moments of silence - perhaps, if you listen closely enough, you can hear some slight sounds of nature from the forest's edge in the background - before a girl speaks up with a quite deadpan (and calm, considering the situation) tone. ]Am I being reduced to this again this soon already?

Onii-chan..? ... That's you, right?

[Battler didn't actually expect to see Ange here, but he'll try and act like the cool onii-chan she wanted.]
Who else were you expecting? Grandfather? Heh, damned geezer doesn't show himself in places like this. You'd have a better chance seeing him jump outside of a window on a rainy night!

Give her a moment, Battler, she's just still slightly confused. ]
But.. this isn't Rokkenjima, isn't it? Unless Grandfather felt like giving the island a thorough renovation.
... Don't tell me they dragged you here as well. Wherever 'here' is.

...Oh wait. The last time she saw Ange was when she made her blow herself up. Okay she knows exactly how to feel about this.]
To be mentioned in such a way; I'm quite honored Ange.

It's only natural, right? It doesn't matter whether I'm trying to jump off a rooftop or stuck in some foresty area with wings, you're usually near. Maybe I'm actually the one who should feel honored.

She ponders whether or not she should tell Bernkastel for a moment - after all, why would she give the witch more information to use against her? But then again.. It's not like she has anything in particular to lose by saying it. ]
I know what happened up to the sixth game. [ That's vague enough, let's go with that compromise. ] You didn't think I'd just sit still after the fourth, right?

[ Curt as ever, y u p. But no, okay, maybe she should actually add more to that than just deadpan. ]
What other sort of witches could I be referring to?

[It's obvious they don't have the same Witches, so that is where she will leave it at.]
You're in a place called Luceti, where we are trapped against our will. I doubt our captors are Witches of any sort.

Do you know anything about them ther than the fact that they're probably not witches?

I feel like speaking up. I would like to say "don't worry, this isn't the work of those witches" but even if I can say that it's not their work, I can't say the first part.
[The calm and deadpan tone unnerves him, it brings echoes of Rika's older voice, honestly he never liked it much. It always sounded empty to him somehow.]
Don't touch the wings, if you damage them you'll die. You're in a place named Luceti, a world to which people of different worlds are pulled in. You're a prisoner here now, like me and everyone else that is likely to answer to you.

Luceti, huh.. [ A pause and then there's a slight scoff. ] If this is the work of witches after all, it sure is an elaborate prank. But since there's no way they would think up something big like that just to bother me, I'll believe you for now.
In that case, who are our captors?

You know what? I take it back, that it's not the the work of witches, because I don't know much about our captors so they could be witches after all. But I can tell you that it's not Bernkastel's work, she's here but as a prisoner too.
Our captors go by the name of Malnosso, they claim to be scientists and use us for experiments. Their version of the situation is different, though. They say that whatever brings people from other worlds to this one is beyond their control and also captured them, and that they bring us to this prison to protect us from another group while they try to find a way for everyone to return to their worlds.

[ There's another pause to consider all of that other information. Then she sighs. ]
Don't make me laugh. Are they seriously claiming something like that? Do we even have any basis to believe them on? Anyone can just claim such a thing to try and win people's favor.

[ Deadpan as ever. ]

Anyway, the name's Adell. Has anyone else managed to fill you in yet?

I'm Ange. And I think I've gotten the general gist so far. Captures here by some Malnosso or whatever, can't leave, can't damage these wings or we'll die.
