[there is absolutely no warning before a high-pitched, distressed, loud voice emerges from the journal.]

WHO. DID. THIS.

[well, she figured out the voice function... there is an aggressive sigh, then a groan that is dragged out as long as her lungs and throat permit.]

This is NOT Fiji! This is not Monaco, or Bermuda, or Dubai, or even TOKYO! I know well enough that WHATEVER THIS IS ISN'T HOME OR A VACATION SPOT AND WHOEVER BROUGHT ME HERE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION WILL BE SENT ON A HOUSHAKUJI SHIP TO ANTARCTICA AND LEFT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM THE SUN ENTERING THROUGH THE ENORMOUS HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER AND RABID PENGUINS!!!!!!

[there's another groan, and you can practically hear her pulling out her hair. yelling isn't going to help her-- screaming into a book isn't the same as tearing into a real person.]

Though, whoever helps me get home will be handsomely rewarded with as much money as they can carry to wherever they want. And I'll be grateful too! Don't think that I'm some unappreciative wretch. The sooner I get back to my room in Japan, the sooner everyone will be happy. I don't like that I've been KIDNAPPED! It's all fine and well in fiction but HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO ME?!?! I'm ready to leave, no doubt about it! I saw a guy stab another guy. The first guy peed on him, so I mean it was a little deserved but I SHOULDN'T SEE ANYONE GET STABBED OR PEED ON OR SPIT LIKE FIFTEEN FEET!!! DOES NO ONE HERE KNOW MANNERS?!?!?!

[there's a soft sob, followed by squelch (possibly underfoot), then a shriek and rapid-fire swearing in japanese.]

Oh. My god. I do not know what I stepped in, but it was something AWFUL!!!! MY SHOE IS RUINED... This is terrible! Is this the commoner life? I can't handle this. Who has a private jet I can borrow? It's Renge Houshakuji. My family will pay yours back double, I promise!

Stupid brawn that will listen to me. That's their strategy. To follow my orders!!!!!

I might... Like to learn. Is your friend handsome? Smooth? Charming? A handsome princely type?

[very important questions.]

In order to get people to even do that, you'd need to at least be stronger than your followers. I would suggest not comparing here to where you were before because leadership is probably a different thing here and there.

As for my friend... If you like a guy with fur then sure he could be considered as such. But smooth and charming he is not.

Leadership is leadership no matter what! I've got brains and skill and charisma! I know my way around a boardroom AND I can manage seven handsome boys without breaking a sweat!!! I don't have to be stronger, just smarter!

Fur?! SO HE'S LIKE THE BEAST!!!!! I could be his Belle... BEAST-KUN I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!! What's his name?!

[melodyssong]

True but in a situation like this you'd have to be so very willing to be on the front lines of battle and fight with your comrades to be considered a good leader here, esepcially since at one point or another you won't be able to avoid it. Before you even say anything I mean literally fight should you have to. It is not figuratively.

I have no idea what you are even on about. But his name is Dust, not beast.

Battle... That. Sounds like a pain. But if that's what I've gotta do to get my own shard, I'LL DO IT!!!!!! Ohohoho~! You haven't seen what Renge Houshakuji can really do! AND I'LL DO IT ALL.

Dust?! That's... KAWAII AS HELL!!!! What else should I know about him?

voice;

[melodyssong]

I'd love to see what you can do. [She is being serious as well.]

For once, I don't think he'd like you to say that in front of him, as hilarious as that sounds.
