This cold weather is horrible. If I could be back in Metafalss right now, I would be. This is not acceptable.

That... that was close. I wasn't expecting them to come here like that.

It's been very quiet back home. Perhaps they've ceased their search? I can only hope.

This... this is almost like my home. What I want it to be. How nostalgic.

I suppose I should go out and look around this place a little more. I may find something I'm not expecting.

"I want to Dive again with you soon, Lady Chroche."

WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?! Has he forgotten I kicked him out the last time he tried and Luca had to use a proxy dive to get him in?!

Just because he got the merchandise correct this time doesn't mean he automatically gets a right to Dive again!

He's so stupid sometimes. Honestly.

Hmph. Idiot. I suppose that will do enough.

Still want to fight, or was Replekia enough?

N-no, this is bad... Shurelia isn't here, and I need Diquility, and... and she's not here to administer it... what am I going to do?

That was... a very interesting set of holidays that you have here.

Cross, Miss Pearl: thank you for the gifts. I didn't want to finish the cookies, they were so cute. ♥ I hope your own gifts were acceptable?

I should also begin preparing to take my Diquility dose soon. Many thanks for that, Shurelia. Perhaps things will be... well.

This. Isn't. Funny. AT ALL! The next time I see that dog Croix I'm going to properly train him in the discernment of picking out actual Gergo merchandise to send to me! How dare he send me this impostor Geugo! I'll bet he did it on purpose!

I am incredibly impressed. I've never seen such a show as the one you were part of, Miss Pearl. I enjoyed it very much, and you sing beautifully. I want to say congratulations, and rasse!

Costumes. How ch-- well, no. I guess it could be fun. But what sort of costumes? And what's 'Halloween' anyway?

[This is taking place earlier in the day, to save on some confusion; before 9pm.

The video clicks on, and Chroche is seen sideways, as the video part has been knocked over by what is in her hands: a stuffed penguin in a jaunty snow jacket, complete with fluffy trim. For the moment, she's talking to it and cuddling it like mad. It could look comical, considering she's in her pajamas as she continues her talking. But then... she starts singing to it.

But a Reyvateil singing isn't weird. A Reyvateil singing to a STUFFED ANIMAL, however, is. The song? Her own song, entitled "Pepen's Song", her journal's namesake. ...yes, this is what her journal is named for.

Total tsundere? Yep. She's not as bad as she tries to come off, we swear!

As she sings to her penguin, she's swaying, dancing, and moving around the room in a happy way. Yes, cute things are awesome. Of course, there's lots of Hymmnos thrown in for good measure.

As the song ends, Chroche sets the penguin down on her desk, obscuring the camera and not long after, it shuts off.

Approach her with caution about this, though. She might be pretty defensive, depending on who you are. 8) This is supposed to be a secret for her, after all!

but if you're wondering what she's saying to this penguin, you can find the translation here.]

...well. That was certainly... different. So... sometime near January, more Diquility. I'll have to make note of it so I won't be caught off-guard like I was not long ago. It's still uncomfortable to have administered, of course. Just thinking about it is making me upset.

I wonder if we have any tea.

How rude. If I am spending money in your establishment, you would think there would be a small level of politeness while I am in there.

...there. I believe the finishing touches on these are complete. It certainly took me long enough. Oh how my hand hurts from all of that! Now for the next step...

( explanation for her entry under here, ICly! )

So this was the place I was sent to for my “protection”? This is nothing like Pastalia, nor is it anything like I’m used to. At least those idiots in the Sacred Army haven’t found me yet. Not that they could. Really, they couldn’t find their own faces in a mirror if they tried.

Either way, I’ll just have to get used to this place as best as possible, seeing as how I’ll be forced to be stuck here until things blow over back in Metafalss. I wonder, however, how I’ll be receiving any Diquility once the time comes, and who will be administering it. Thinking about that gives me a headache. Just as long as it is no one incompetent, I think all will be well.

For the time being, my name is Chroche. You are to address me as ‘Lady Chroche’ as that is my title. Any who do not will feel the punishment of my rapier.
