Hmmmm? Where may she have gone~?

[Keiichi's voice filters through the journals. Those who know him will rejoice in noticing that he sounds male again... Until they take notice of the strange tone he talks with. It's not an odd tone in him, it's sweet and playful even, but somehow it holds a cord of danger in it.

His voice sounds distant and there's no image in the journal, seems to have activated on its own and that Keiichi isn't paying attention to it.]

That small and sneaky rat, she has a knack for surviving no matter what, doesn't she? Maybe I should take things seriously, games are fun but I'm already tired of this one. Rats should be exterminated anyway, right? We don't want them biting our good and innocent kids anymore.

[Rummaging sounds, he seems to be looking for something before he moves to the journal. He smiles calmly and relaxed, a normal Keiichi smile... Except that his eyes are gold. But that can't be necessarily bad, right?

He opens his mouth to say something but thinks it better apparently.]

If anyone needs me, I'll be doing a small hunt. Oh, yeah, has everyone regained their senses by the way? Or are you all still having fun with the Malnosso?

[Look who's talking.

Keiichi will be found around the village, apparently searching for something or just observing around. He would look normal, if it wasn't because besides the gold eyes he's dressed in definitively different clothes to what he would usually wear, and somehow in person, it's easy to say there's something... Different in him even if one ignores his appearance.

If your name is Miyoko or Takano it would be wise to stay out of his sight unless you have someone with you.]

[Keiichi is at the room where he terrified Miyoko, totally chilling at the chair and using the footrest as before. Just that this time the footrest remains as a piece of furniture.]

Right now? Relaxing.

If you were talking about the brat though, I was just making sure she will think twice before getting close to the house again. And that her older self will have a few nice memories when she returns.

[older self...?

he enters the other room.] She's a kid. You invited her in.

I honestly don't know what got me to do it, must have been the experiment. Otherwise I would have let her freeze and die on the streets.

[He waves a hand dismissing it all.]

She's not a kid anyway. She's Takano. Before she changed her name, but still Takano.

[...That girl is the person who wanted to murder Rika?

Keiichi's actions now make more sense... even if they aren't excusable. She isn't someone he'd want in his house normally but--]

Right now she's not. Scaring her won't solve anything.

[Primo cackles again at that.]

It won't, but it will make things more interesting. Thanks to the stupid experiment she got to know that Keiichi Maebara is in the village, maybe she even got to see Rika. Information that her older self will probably keep.

But now... Well, it'll be interesting to see what she does now.

[She saw a dead Keiichi. And a Keiichi that floated and teleported around. What will she think? That it was all an illusion? That there are two Keiichi's? Or that it was all just "Souji" being affected by the experiment?]

[he has a point and it is worrying, but Minato'd still rather debate this with him when he's sane.]

Just leave her alone until the experiment is over, Keiichi.

There's little left to do with her anyway, unless she proves to not have learned her lesson.

[Then again, there's Regina, he supposes the woman would like to have some fun as well. Specially with her curses, show Takano what a real curse is... Primo smiles amused by the idea.]

But don't worry. I won't get close to her unless she comes to me, and I doubt that will happen.

[Unfortunately for Minato, he can't make promises about Regina. Primo raises a hand, waving it lightly and the tea set from his home appears floating in front of him, serving itself without so much as a fickle of his fingers.]

Want some tea?

[...okay, since when can Keiichi use 'summon teapot.' He eyes it.]

...No thanks.

[Primo could wonder about why he hadn't used his powers more often, but as he remembers things, whenever he was alone or had to do something on his own he used them. Other times, specially when Minato was around, the serving and such was made by the girls, not him. He takes the tea cup and takes a sip.]

More for me, I suppose.

[And the teapot is gone. He's totally chilling here as if nothing was wrong in the world.]

[...]

I should go.

[he could stick around Keiichi until this strange event effect wore off, but that would be leaving Miyoko alone. ...And Takano or not, right now she's a frightened kid.]

[He doesn't look at the other upon talking, apparently more interested in his tea.]

Where to?

[Hopefully not after a certain rat.]

When we were both little I said I'd help. She's still little and needs it.

The only help that little one would ever get is the help that will lead her to murder Rika and a whole village, as well as anyone else that was around by chance. She has already decided such a fate for herself, no matter what good intentions you may have. No matter what good words you use.

She's a murderer and far beyond point of changing that fact. Not to mention that this is just temporal, a game of the Malnosso to enjoy themselves. Contact with that girl will just put you in her list of people to use and eliminate once she's old again.
