002 ♫ voice

[etudes]

Good day, everyone.

[ Kotomi's voice is.. practically the same as usual, aka very monotone and blank, no matter what she's speaking about. At least she's apparently social enough today to actually use the journal to make a post.. ]

I have two important questions to everyone. I couldn't find the answers in books, so I thought maybe someone else would be able to tell me instead.. I tried to look all over for books about it, but couldn't find anything. [ There's maybe the sliightest hint of disappointment in her tone at it. ]

The first would be any more information about "tsundere".. I heard it means someone acts tough and doesn't think they need anything more, but.. any more information would be nice, too.

[ This is clearly important. ]

And secondly, what kind of stories does everyone like..? [ totally not asking in relation to a certain someone, nope. ] I wonder if there's some sort of story that could be fun for everyone, no matter who reads it. Doesn't that sound like it'd be wonderful?

[ After that there's just.. a long pause.. apparently she forgot to turn off her journal after she was done in her obliviousness. ]

It could be a post-war story, right? There are a lot of those out there, at least back home. I haven't read too many of them here yet.

[chibifalenas]

Wars can be in the past of a lot of stories and that doesn't make them bad. Its when the story is JUST about the war that I really don't like it.

[etudes]

...

Then you could go and read another story, right? There are a lot of them out there, about a whole lot of different things.

[chibifalenas]

But you asked what kind people liked.

[etudes]

I guess there are some people who might like war stories.. [ ... ] Like bullies. [ shudder!! ]

[chibifalenas]

I think they're more for boys.

[etudes]

Girls can be bullies too. So you have to make sure to watch out for them, since it isn't very easy to recognize them..

[chibifalenas]

No, the stories. I mean I know people who aren't bullies that like them. They're just boys.

[etudes]

Huh, really.. [ That just makes her wonder if Ikki or Smoker would like them - they're boys, after all, right? Or maybe even Rin or Tomoya or.. ]

What kind of boys are those boys?

[chibifalenas]

Several of the Queen's Knights in the castle. I even think brother may like them a bit.

[etudes]

You knew people close to the queen back home..? Are you royalty too?

[chibifalenas]

I'm um.. The Queen. Why?

1 / 2

[etudes]

[ ......... there's a veeery long pause. ]

[etudes]

You are.. a real queen? That's great, I have never met real royalty before, even in this place..

[chibifalenas]

Yes. Um, don't be afraid or anything, I mean, I'm just me here. We're not in Falenas.

[etudes]

I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid of a queen..? [ ... ] Are queens actually bullies too?

[chibifalenas]

....Some are. Power can corrupt.

[etudes]

Then I don't want to meet them.. Bullies are really, really scary.

[chibifalenas]

Not all are, I mean they're just people. All royals are just people for the most part.

[etudes]

Bullies aren't people at all. People wouldn't go and hurt other people like that..

[chibifalenas]

....You would be surprised.

[She just sighs and looks down]
