Rebel 9 [Written]

First that boy, then Mr. McDohl, now the professor... the Malnosso really do have an odd sense of humor, don't they?

It's getting a little crowded in this apartment. Strange to think just a couple months ago, it was just me here. It almost seems as if Tao's been here the entire time. And now with three of us... I have to say, I'd love to see Tager and Linhua again, but at this rate, I'm not sure we would have the space. Does anyone know if New Feathers are still coming in?

Which reminds me...

I know this is an incredibly strange request, but -- would either of you mind if Tao and I used your bathtub for a week or so? I'm not sure it would be a good idea to use mine for the time being.

This place... really is beginning to feel a bit like home.

[Before she can stop the train of thought, it's all splashed up in full-color images on the journal pages: Ragna's wanted poster with its staggering bounty, Noel and Jin in full officer uniform, Kokonoe in full Boss Mode and yelling at the scientists below her in Sector 7, the people of Ronin-gai happily bantering about how great a leader Bang is, the Orient Town villagers crowding around Litchi in the market with nothing but praise for her doctoring...

She sighs. She's not sure if that all got transmitted through, but she has a good feeling.]

...Yyyes. Most of us were fairly well-known back home.

[Cough.] What about you, Mr. Jordan?

I'm no exception, even if I don't have magic or anything. Back home I was the Erusian Ace of Aces during the Usean Continental War.

[Miss Vermillion seems to know just about everyone, doesn't she? And Bang...]

[Derailing that train of thought. She's still touchy over that mental image of his earlier.] An ace, hm? I suppose I should have guessed something along those lines.

There really is an interesting assortment of people here, isn't there?

Yeah, there is. I've said it before. This whole place is like a movie or a storybook. So many people, so many worlds, so much difference.

...It does keep things interesting, though.

There's certainly never a dull moment, I must agree.

Although I think I could do without any more surprise visitors in my tub.

[His tone betrays a smile, but it's not meant to sound cutting or sarcastic. A rare wisecrack is coming from 13.]

Perhaps you should call our wonderful landlords and tell them the joke's played out.

[She laughs.] Maybe I should. Although I'm not sure asking would get me much of anywhere.

Probably not. But who knows? They might end up in someone else's bathtub next time if you do.

With my luck, I'm not so sure...

[She really doesn't mean for the mental image to project, but it does: Litchi taking a bath, minding her own business, when a black-haired man suddenly appears in it as well. Screaming commences.

Oblivious that the image is on the journal page, she adds,] Although I suppose it's worth a try.

[Oh hello there, beautiful naked Litchi. ...Wait, no, that's not right. Thirteen turns away very subtly from the image until it fades. Litchi's beautiful, but... they just met and no. Not cool. But... another joke. That'll disarm this.]

You have my best wishes on that. Just so long as you don't send them to my bathtub.

[If she had any idea, that looking away would have earned him some major brownie points. As it is, though, she just laughs lightly.]

I wouldn't dream of it.
