[ video / action for house 40 ]
Uhg, I feel bad doing this this early into the game, but I got sick as a dog!

[ Yuri doesn't look like she's been sick, but that's because she made sure she was completely better before she talked to anyone else. You know, outside of her house. ]

I forgot how much I hated that, so I'm aiming to never let it happen again. [ She waves it off now, next topic. ] Those of you I talked to about the SSS, you probably thought I fell off the face of the planet but that's not true! So come here if you have any more questions or have thought about it and would like to sign up! I need everyone to report in if they would like to join or are already joined up so that I can get an official headcount! If you don't drop me a line, I'm kicking you out.

[ She looks like she's thinking something after that, then adds: ] ...That aside, where did the phrase "sick as a dog" come from anyway?

[ locked to Yotsuba and Naoi, probably hackable if anyone even tries ]
I hired a butler.

Maybe you scared them out of coming.

[magentarific]

Hey, I've been very nice! I haven't done any punishment games or anything since I got here because everyone's alive, the only person I've even really hit outside of a mutual fighting situation was Battler and he's still here.

[markofthewise]

Wow. No punishment games or hitting anyone. I can't imagine what your problem is, then.

[magentarific]

Like I said, I have been nice. And helpful. To the point of showing people where things are, answering questions, all kinds of things.

[markofthewise]

Doesn't everybody pretty much do that?

[magentarific]

Yeah, but I'm offering a way to work together to get out on top of that. You'd think at least some people would be interested in trying, especially when I took your advice and stopped being as rude about it. I got more people when I was rude.

[ A lot of the people who were in the SSS keep going home too, which is a huge problem. ]

[markofthewise]

[... oh, she actually took his advice? Now he feels bad giving her a hard time.]

Really? Maybe people respond better to bullying after all.

[magentarific]

Maybe it's the tough leader aspect? Or because I'm a girl? A lot of people don't respect girls unless they think the girl is fully capable of kicking their ass.

[markofthewise]

Well, as much as I'd like to argue that... I kind of had that proved to me by Suki. But I don't have that problem anymore!

[magentarific]

Hmm, is that why you came to ask about it~? [ She's smiling now, almost playfully. ] Looking into making working together to find a way home?

[markofthewise]

[Is she doing what he thinks she's doing?]

... me and Suki are engaged now.

[ Give Yuri a second. Why is that even relevant? Wait-- ]

[magentarific]

[ And then she bursts into laughter ]

I was asking if you wanted to help the SSS out, you moron! AHAHAHAHA!

[markofthewise]

Hey, calling me a moron won't help! And you shouldn't have tried to invite me with all that... flirting and smiling and stuff. It's misleading.

[magentarific]

I wasn't flirting. I don't really flirt and if I do it's usually just to screw with people. I'm already dead, it's not like I'm looking to meet someone just so I can go off, die, and from what I've heard shortly after I get back I'm going to disappear from existence. That'd just be cruel.

[markofthewise]

[... that whole not existing thing sounds harsh. Ouch.]

If you succeed and get out, what do you plan to do? Still go home?

[magentarific]

I've got something important I have to protect, even if it means I disappear. Not until I make sure that everyone is free to go leave here if they want to, though.

[markofthewise]

Must be something pretty important, then.

[magentarific]

O-Obviously! [ Hmph, only making the world safe for her friends.. ] I wouldn't go back somewhere that I don't even know if I'm going to really last a second past getting back if it wasn't.

[markofthewise]

I don't think anyone could blame you if you didn't want to.

[magentarific]

I could. There's no way I'm not going back.

[markofthewise]

Yeah yeah. I know, I hear you.

[magentarific]

Anyway, I'm not going to just force everyone to come back with me. I've shifted my goals slightly to overthrowing the Malnosso and opening up the path for those who choose to go home.

[markofthewise]

What if you find out the Malnosso are actually telling the truth?

[magentarific]

If the Malnosso are telling the truth or not doesn't excuse the ridiculous experiments they're performing on people that have absolutely nothing to do with the problem.
