Fifth Page - [Voice / Action]

[Voice]

[Cheria awoke in an incredibly good mood today. A good mood like she's never had before. It's like something inside her is telling her that everything is going to be all right. That she'll have a happy ending of sorts.

So naturally, she feels the need to spread these positive feelings through the village by means of the journal. When she speaks, her voice is rather dreamy.]

Good afternoon, everyone! Ah, such a beautiful sky. The animals and the trees of the forest are overflowing with happiness. I hope everyone will have a wonderful day!

[Action]

[Oh yes, and she awoke wearing a nice dress today. A dress a princess might wear. It was strange, yes, but she won't let it ruin her good mood. In fact, she'll be going for a nice walk by the forest edge. As she does so, various forest critters will be drawn towards her and stroll along in her wake, chattering happily as she hums a cheerful tune to herself. Another rather peculiar thing to happen, but certainly not a bad one. She does like cute animals, after all.

When she returns to the house later on, she'll do all her chores such as cooking and cleaning with the same positive vigor.]

[Cheria spreads out her arms, twirling happily even as she walks. The forest critters don't seem to find this behavior strange at all. They just keep skipping and hopping along behind her.

When her gaze falls on Kratos, she stops walking and turns to face him with a warm smile.]

Good afternoon! Isn't it a wonderful day?

...hm, I suppose it is.

[Awkward? Not in Cheria's perception. She's just very happy she gets to meet nice new people and isn't wary of them in the slightest. Of course, she's already a very kind and social girl, but the experiment has made her even more trusting.]

Everything just seems a lot more bright, don't you agree?

Perhaps.

[Well. This man is highly unenthusiastic. Someone should lift his spirits! Cheria approaches him, the woodland animals watching apprehensively from a distance.]

Would you like to take a walk with me and my new friends? I assure you, they're all very kind. [Just look at their innocent, furry faces, Kratos. And those big cute eyes. There's even a baby deer- how can you say no?]

All right.

[Cheria's smile widens and the critters almost seem to be cheering in celebration. But that's silly. Forest critters don't do that, right?]

Then, let's go. We can walk to the riverside.

[She smiles happily and turns to lead the way, the animals once again strolling along in her wake, seemingly brimming with excitement. Then Cheria realizes she's been exceptionally rude up until now and decides to introduce herself at last.]

My name is Cheria Barnes. What's your name?

My name is Kratos. A... pleasure to meet you, Cheria.

[It's a shame for Kratos that the Disney Princess magic is now spreading. While the forest critters had mostly been focusing on Cheria up until now, they're starting to gain an interest in her new friend. A couple of the birds will start fluttering closer to Kratos's head and some of the rabbits and chipmunks begin to hop along in his wake.

Of course, Cheria is oblivious to all this.]

It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Kratos. Such a nice name... Have you been affected by the experiment as well? [The true nature of the question being: Do you always dress in purple spandex with a ridiculous amount of belts?]

I do not believe so.

[He'd be surprised how little Cheria's personality has changed. She's just a very social girl by nature.]

Is that so? Then, are you a knight of some sort? [She glances down at his sword. Where she's from, people only carry weapons if they have a good reason to do so.]

A mercenary would be more accurate to describe what I am.

Ohh, is that so? Then, you protect others to make a living?

[That's still sort of like a knight. Except mercenaries don't have to participate in wars or anything like that.]

Yes.

That's wonderful! Though, there's no form of currency in Luceti. Does that mean you would protect the residents for free, here?

[How noble. Of course, all her friends from home would do the same thing.]

If need be, I would do so.

One would always hope there isn't a need, of course! Things would be so much better if no one required protection from harm.

[She stops walking for a moment and leans down to pick up a cute rabbit from the ground, cradling it in her arms. Then she continues on her way.]

Hm, indeed.

[Cheria continues to pet the rabbit, albeit somewhat absentmindedly.] Are many of your friends from home here in the village?

[Careful, Kratos. One of the birds is trying to land on your shoulder and hitch a ride. Will you let it?]

You could say that, I suppose.

[Why so mean, Kratos. The bird eventually gives up and attempts to land on Cheria's shoulder instead. She doesn't mind at all.]

It's peculiar, isn't it? How people who came from the same world all seem to know each other? I wonder if the Malnosso do that on purpose...

I see no reason why that wouldn't be possible.
