[Everything today was wrong. Waking up outside, wearing new clothes that definitely didn't belong to him, along with a random book that had he had found on his face that fell open as he sat up, and the fact that there was no Ragnarok twisting his nose to wake him up just so everything could be blamed on him. No, instead there was a screaming in his head, and every vein in his body aching. The most Crona could do was curl up in a ball, and put his hands over his ears to maybe mute the yelling...but with no effect.]

No, I'm sorry! I don't know why you can't come out! But please stop, it's hurting me!

[He lets out a pained noise as more yelling commenced inside his head.]

T-this isn't my fault! I don't know what's going on, I just woke up! I'm sorry!

[For a very long time this conversation with himself goes on, Crona only apologizing, and not having any answers.

Although the argument finally does end, and when it does Crona is finally walking around. Although he has no idea where he's going, he will keep walking as long as Ragnarok tells him...the only time he does stop is when he hears any unnatural. Steps, talking, or the random branch falling. He hides as best as he can just in case it's something or someone threatening...]

Normal school things..? I don't know exactly. I was supposed to be walked around today for the first time, but I woke up here instead.

Probably better that you didn't, school doesn't seem like a lot of fun.

[It isn't too fun learning to read from Silver, and he's had to practice writing by himself since Ikki left.]

But it was going to be better than being in alone in a room all the time.

You'll be lucky if you can find a room alone here. There's people everywhere! In fact, if you find a place free of people, drop me and Soren here a line. It's been trouble for a few weeks now...

...I can probably find a place without people.. [Or he can scare them off. Either way, he's good at making people go away.]

... If you're really looking for a place not to be alone at, one of the big buildings in the village would be good. Maybe you could room with a... friend or something, if you find one here.

[Soren trills from above, and Chien frowns. No way. It was one thing to bring back a newbie to the village, it was another thing to offer the guy a place to stay.]

The rooms aren't always filled with people, but a good number of them have at least two people each.

I only have one friend..

[He's...serious about that too. And that friend is not here..]

I'll look around. [And by look around, he means creep around people's places till he finds a good one.]

[Oh, Chien too... Soren's the only one he could call a true friend that's got his back and his life.]

You'll make a lot more here. I wish I was kidding too, all of these morons are so friendly you'd never know that there's a war going on. [It's kind of starting to piss him off lately, but there's nothing he can do about it so it's just quietly stewing.]

I don't know...I'm not good at talking to people. [He actually doesn't even know why he's talking to you so much..]

[Because Chien is a boy raised by a dog and dogs are very friendly feeling even if they're just sitting there or something. Everyone wants to pet dogs.]

Well, of course you're not going to be if you're hiding behind a tree at the smallest sound. [To be fair, he isn't either. Or wasn't. He more or less ~~barked~~ shouted at people and mellowed out after he found Soren in the woods. Silver taught him he had to be friendlier, even a little.]

I can't help that. [He feels safer if there's something to hide behind, and if there isn't he freaks out and goes a little crazy.]

[He's gonna hate the village then.] You'll probably get used to everything sooner or later... I don't like the village much either, but I moved in after a huge storm turned over my tree.

...You lived in a tree? [That's strange even to him.]

Yeah. Some of the trees here have these big holes in though, so I was lucky enough to find one and stayed there for a while. [Soren got too big too.]

Why would you want to live in a tree?

I'm used to living in trees.

...Why not a house?

There was no room. [for a monster]
