[abnormalizes]

This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Comments

[roundandaround]

Yeah, please! Thanks! I'll be right over!

Wait where are you, I forgot you live in more than one place now

[abnormalizes]

Oh, right. Spring segment!

[roundandaround]

Coming!!

[In time, Rinku will in fact show up at Evangeline's, wearing a new outfit and holding a note and a bucket of It's Not Fried Chicken. What has it decided to be today? Hopefully something good, but she's not sure.]

Neechan?

[abnormalizes]

[Evangeline is relaxing on the couch. There's a ton of natural light coming in, everything is extremely cozy, she couldn't be more comfortable. On her lab is a small book, really more like a booklet, that says 'Enochian dictionary'.]

Hi, Rinku! Come on, make yourself comfy.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku plops next to Evangeline and sets down the not!chicken. She smiles and looks at the book.]

Wow, that's all it is? Maybe I can study this after all... Oh, right! Louis-kun gave me this note to give to Chipp-san since he said even though they don't like each other, he was still the best person to ask for a safety helmet for Hina-chan so she doesn't bonk her face into the piano or the phone screen anymore.

[She unfolds the note and shows a note in Enochian, outlining specifications for a Hina-sized safety helmet and peppered with snark and insults.]

And I kinda forgot to give it to Chipp-san, but then I saw it and remembered, so now I wanna see if I can use it to help me learn!

[abnormalizes]

Let me take a look…

[Evangeline squints at the note, then starts flipping through her book.]

Yeah, that’s what I thought. This is in Bastard’s Enochian - it has a ton of loanwords from human languages to cover the things pure Enochian doesn’t. I can read a couple of words of this, but not most of it.

[roundandaround]

Aww, okay. How do I study, then?

[Rinku leans over and looks at the book. She takes a piece of "chicken" and takes a small bite.]

Wow, Neechan, you gotta try some! It's ice cream today!

[abnormalizes]

I don’t really know… I’ve been asking Louis how to say specific things.

G ol agapo, Rinku.

[roundandaround]

Go... gi... eh?

[Rinku tilts her head and blinks.]

What's that one? It sounds nice.

[abnormalizes]

It means I love you! Specifically it’s the type of love for family and friends.

[roundandaround]

[Rinku sparkles. She nuzzles Evangeline, but is quickly distracted by the ice cream dripping out of her "fried chicken" and quickly licks up the drips before they get on the couch.]

Thank you, Neechan! Gi... g ol agapo! How does it work? I guess "agapo" is the love one, right? Like that one Greek word from that thing.

[she definitely learned it from something]

[abnormalizes]

It’s one of the Greek words for love, yeah! ‘Ol’ is me or my, like I call Chipp ol monons, that’s ’my heart’. And g is you.

[roundandaround]

Wah, that's so cute! [happy noises] So I should call someone that if I really like them? Oh, wait, I'd have a ton of hearts then...

[abnormalizes]

Do you mean 'my heart' in general, not in Enochian specifically? Because it'd only make sense to use Enochian with one of the four or so people here that speak it, you'd give Louis a heart attack, Lucifer would probably overthink it, and you can't use it on Chipp because it's my name for him, get your own.

In general, I think it's okay for someone you're dating even if you're dating other people?

[roundandaround]

Oh, yeah, that's true.

[Rinku hums and kicks her feet a little. She moves the chicken bucket (currently, ice cream in the shape of fried chicken; tomorrow it might be mashed potatoes in the shape of fried chicken) closer to Evangeline.]

What else are useful words I should know?

[abnormalizes]

[Evangeline takes a piece of fried ice chicken cream and munches it as she thinks.]

Sa, gi is 'you, too', pretty much.

[roundandaround]

Sa, gi... okay! That must be useful. So you say it if someone says something about you that you think about them?

[abnormalizes]

Yep! Or like, 'I love you', 'you too'.

[roundandaround]

[Happy noise.]

I'll do my best to remember it! I wish I were better at studying like you, but using the hyperfocus skill makes it so I actually can. I don't even fall asleep or anything now!

[abnormalizes]

That's good. I think some people have to use medication for that, but magic is probably easier if you aren't worried about running out.

[roundandaround]

I do have medication now! At least when I remember to go get it refilled... But I talked to Dr. Forger after you told me I should. Even though I was kinda nervous.

[abnormalizes]

That's good! I'm proud of you for doing it even though it's scary.

[roundandaround]

[Smile! It always feels better when Evangeline says she's proud of Rinku.]

It really worked, too. I even finally cleaned the bathroom! Oh, right, I should get that thing that brings fairies to your house to clean your room in exchange for food... I forget what it's called.

[abnormalizes]

The one with the book and the tree, right? I think that's it?

[roundandaround]

Yeah! I think so. Riki-san's always got such cool stuff for sale... Is there anything you wanna get this month?
