Finally, time for a tea party with Ange! Maria's bounding around the Gohl Rowhouse, communicator in hand so Discedo may be getting a bit of a... shaky view. She pushed the button on accident anyway...]

Uu-, Ange, Ange! Hurry up!

[Ange isn't fully in view (the bouncing communicator might be partly to blame for that), but her voice is still clear even

M, Maria? Ange? Mii. What's going on?

[isolatedpiece]

Rika-chan.. Sakutarou-- [ Well, she isn't sure if Rika knows Sakutaro or if Maria told her about him. ] Maria onee-chan's and my friend turned back into a plush lion.

Is there something going on again in this place right now?

[princessofmoe]

What do you mean by "turned back into a plush lion"...? [She did hear about Sakutaro before, but she didn't know he was a plush lion...]

Mii. I haven't noticed anything strange.

[isolatedpiece]

It's.. a bit difficult to explain, but it's his original form. He was at first just a stuffed lion plush Rosa oba-san made for Maria onee-chan, but thanks to her magic he became a real friend.

[ Yes, she can say that by now - Maria's magic of happiness is something she doesn't want to deny again. Her facial expression is slightly worried, but she's trying to keep it as neutral and calm as possible. Someone has to be the mature and responsible one in this situation. ]

... I have to figure this out. If not just for Maria onee-chan and Sakutarou's sakes.

[heinesangel]

...!

[Wait! What happened to Sakutaro?!]

[isolatedpiece]

... Do you know Sakutarou?

[heinesangel]

yes. what happened to him?

[Is he... gone?

She doesn't understand that he is the lion plush being held in Maria's arms.]

[isolatedpiece]

... He turned into plush lion over there. [ Ange doesn't quite realise while she's still stuck in the surprise that other people might find it even more strange than she does. ]

I don't know what happened.

[is_the_eldest]

What's happened?

[isolatedpiece]

It's Sakutarou. He.. turned back into a plush animal and he won't talk anymore.

[ She doesn't sound as panicked as Maria, but she is worried. But for now Ange has to keep firm if not just for Maria's sake. ]

[is_the_eldest]

Turned back? Into a plush ani-- you mean he's a stuffed toy?

[Does not really compute.]

[isolatedpiece]

Long story. [ She knows that practically anything from her world is hard to explain. ]

Let's keep it at that he was originally like this-- [ She gestures to Maria with the plush behind her. ] but became like a human. But.. right now..

[the_phantom_m1]

Ah- is everyone alright over there? What happened?

[isolatedpiece]

Something happened to our friend. Is something going on in the city again?

[the_phantom_m1]

Not that I'm aware of. If there's some kind of incident, it's either a quiet one...or it's just beginning. Is anyone hurt?

[isolatedpiece]

Great, of course this place just had to think of something new. ... Although it might be better that people know if it's just the start of something, I suppose.

[ She takes a deep breath. ]

One of my friends reverted to his original form, a plush lion, but I don't know why.
