Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

[lol suck it erika]

Probably someone who didn't care how she looked or acted, only that...you know, she wasn't human, and that she could be a threat. Some of those wounds...are definitely preventive. You don't just do that to someone's neck for no reason.

[refusedtoleave]

[But tiny...]

Are vampires really that dangerous? I don't know much about those kinds of myths...

[cyan_maid]

It honestly depends on the source you're getting information from. At least, considering we're all from different worlds, and those worlds have multiple takes on the same thing...they weren't real in my world, specifically, but there was a version of them in my universe that was real, and she wasn't anything like the vampires in stories and television that I already knew.

[It's just vampires all the way down]

Generally, though? Yes, they are dangerous.

[refusedtoleave]

It’s like Youkai then. The myth varies on the location, even if they have the same names or look alike.

…I want to say that she doesn’t look like she could hurt anyone. But after some of the…people I’ve met. I’d say she was more mature than them.

[cyan_maid]

...Yes, she definitely had more of a modicum of maturity than some other people.

[Erika will forever be dunked on throughout space and time, it's a constant.]

[refusedtoleave]

[If only Natsuhi had actually been talking about Erika]

True. Though I must admit I've met some mature children as well, maybe it's to make up for seeing so many cruel ones.

[There might be a complement hidden there.]

[cyan_maid]

[gasp]

I wish I could say there was an easy way to find the mature kids, but it's unfortunately a trial and error process.

[refusedtoleave]

I wonder what causes it. What was the saying? 'Nature versus nurture' if I met some of the parents of these children, would I see a resemblance?

[There's not much in it, but she giggles.]

That's a horrifying thought with some of them...

[cyan_maid]

Golly, you're telling me. I think that might be a little part of it, but...for some, nature becomes a necessity, I think.

[When your best friends in the world grow up without adult figures in their lives, you see nature winning out pretty well.]

[refusedtoleave]

[It takes a moment for that to sink in.]

...True. I can think of some children who managed well enough. I told you of my nephew, Battler. He left instead of living with his father due to circumstances… He’s more mature and a better man than his father.

[cyan_maid]

That's good for him, then. It's not easy to live on your own, but if it made him a better person, I'm glad for him.

[If only he changed his name to something not as stupid.]

[refusedtoleave]

[He would if could.]

His father is... I don't get along with his father, I agree with Battler's choice to leave after what he did...

[cyan_maid]

...

[She wants to ask if something happened, but...no, she'll respect Natsuhi's privacy.]

Mm. Then, it still stands that it was good for him.

[refusedtoleave]

Maybe so. I think I'd have preferred it if he didn’t have a reason to leave.

[It’s not even her privacy, she’s just gossiping now. She will quite happily whine about Rudolf.]

[cyan_maid]

Would it have helped things at home if he stayed?

[refusedtoleave]

No, at least I don't think it would. As much as his father wanted him to stay. There’d have only been more arguments if he’d stayed. I fully support him for it.

His father remarried too soon. I understand it was for Ange’s sake. But…

[cyan_maid]

A-Ah...yeah, that can be a note of contention, especially if it was very quick.

[refusedtoleave]

A few months...[Natsuhi looks around, then lowers her voice.] It was so Ange wouldn't be born out of wedlock. She’s a sweet girl, but the circumstances...

[cyan_maid]

[Eyebrows going way up on that one, and she lowers the volume of her voice.] So - was she only Battler's half sister?

[refusedtoleave]

[For once in her life Natsuhi can be the sterotype housewife!]

Yes, that's right? Her mother was already-umm... Before Battler#s mother passed...

[She's pretty bad at gossiping, and ducks her head. She misses Asumu.]
