♥ good life choices

[ action ♥ 335 Brady Lane ]
[ When Satou woke up from dying she was cold and miserable. Just like the last time, she's stuck in a state of being a corpse and feeling so miserable and scared that she flops back in her bed, curls up, and takes some of the morning to feel sorry for herself. Then gets up, covering her head with her bed;s blankets, and goes downstairs. Where she finds two packages. ]
Au... I think I'd rather have a pulse than mail right now...

[ phone ♥ ]

U-um... I'm back! I'm back... Hello. Sorry about being in the carnival, um... I got some mail. Did anyone else get packages?

[ She fiddles with her two new cards. One has her favorite magical girl dress on it and the other has a classic demon. ] I hope everyone got back from the carnival okay. Haruhi-san, do you have the newspaper I gave you? Um, maybe we should get together and look that over... Did anyone else find newspapers or anything useful in the carnival? Could you let me know? I'm Satou, um and. I'm curious.

[ Satou pauses, looking at the card with the demon on it and frowning. Unimpressed with her regain and not sure what it means. ] And um... Alphonse...san, Mr, um... If you're listening, um... I'm sorry, sir... I about not being nice.

[ action ♥ makeout point ]
[ Despite what would be considered "good judgment", Satou heads to makeout point a few hours after her initial phone call to try training her magic. She's frustrated after letting herself get killed again, even when she had her magic, and needs to vent some steam. ]

Hm... no one is here, I hope? I wonder what that second card means...

Dangerous? What do you mean, Al? She seemed so nice when I spoke to her.

[snacklist]

She's a homunculus! Her real name isn't Solaris, it's Lust.

[priceofmagic]

Homunculus?! She grew out of the ground?!

[ Times when their worlds' alchemy don't click. ]

[snacklist]

What?

[No, not important.]

No, she came out of another homunculus, it's really complicated. But she's dangerous, really dangerous.

[priceofmagic]

There are more of them?

[ No no no! She's not interested at all! ]

I see... but she wanted to help me...

[snacklist]

Um, she did?

[That doesn't make much sense, Lust had seemed the sort not to do anything unless it personally benefited her.]

[priceofmagic]

Mm! She was quite friendly.

... But if you're sure. I'll be careful for you.

[snacklist]

Mm.

I just don't want you to get hurt.

[priceofmagic]

... Mm. [ She catches herself about to lie, but corrects herself. ] You're way too nice sometimes, Alphonse. Thanks for worrying.

[snacklist]

[She thinks he's nice! If armour could blush, he would be doing it right now, just chuckling a bit awkwardly.]

You're really nice too, Satou.

[priceofmagic]

[ Oh Al, you're so cute. Satou's smiling on her end, not sure how much of that compliment she should let herself enjoy. ]

I--... 'm not really. I just... don't want to be disliked. You're a lot better than that.

[snacklist]

[This is getting to be a circular argument now, and he's a little disheartened that she hasn't taken on anything at all that he's said about not putting herself down so much.

There's a brief pause, before he continues on as though nothing was wrong.]

I guess I should go, I still need to find Brother.

[priceofmagic]

Oh, yes! Please tell him to give me a call, if you can? [ She needs to politely make it known that she's upset at him for worrying her best friend. ]

[snacklist]

Mm. I'll tell him.

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

[priceofmagic]

Mm! Take care, Alphonse! Now go look after that silly brother of yours!

[snacklist]

R-Right! Thanks, Satou.

[He hesitates for just a moment more, before he's off to look for Ed!]
