[The video feed opens up to panning between two rooms in Baldr house - 201 and 203 specifically.  They're refurnished to fit his preference, aka pretty classy, rich guy stuff, as he would put it himself.  Don't ask how he got it.  Just.  Don't.]

Hey, so I'm cleaning up these rooms, trying to make 'em into one big one for myself.  Anyone wanna help me tear down this wall?  Uh, someone who can make keys would be pretty good too.  Have to pick the lock every time I want to get in.  It's not like anybody's using them, so it's fine if I do, right?

Maybe I should be advertising my sweet bachelor pad for the lonely women of Asgard, heheh. [He grins. It's only half-joking...] Haven't had a dry spell since I was about fifteen, geez...

Anyway, hey, Ange, you get bored of staying with those freaks in your house, come hang out with your old man!  Nobody ever visits me, it's not like I'm in a home.

If you keep saying that along with 'lonely old man' you'll start to sound a little desperate.

[ la la la, walking while talking.. ]

[ video ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Maybe desperate for one of my kids to love me...

[ah yes really good rp right here]

[ video ]

[entreats]

You know I do, dad. You're my dad, of course I'd do. And.. well, even if Battler onii-chan acts the way he does, he doesn't dislike you all that much, I'm sure. [ he was uwooing over dad after he died, after all.. ]

[ video ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

You just don't know the stuff he says to me, totally disrespectful!

[ video ]

[entreats]

Like what?

[ she has a vague idea, but with Battler being.. well, Battler, who knows.. ]

[ video ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

He's always calling me a bastard and a freak and a dirty old man...

[ video -> action ]

[entreats]

[ Is this the part where she should say the last part is sort of true..

.. Okay, no, she's almost there so that's a distraction, she just hums as if to note she heard it, but then she turns off the bracelet to knock on the door of his room(s) instead.. ]

[ action ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[He opens the door wide, grinning]

Welcome, welcome~!

[ action ]

[entreats]

[ .. okay, when he's grinning that stupidly, Ange can't help but smile faintly too.. ]

Hey, dad. So.. this is the place you've claimed, huh? [ 'claimed' since nobody is supposed to have two rooms.. ]

[ action ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[Technically he has three! :D]

Sure is! What d'you think? Pretty nice, huh? Not like home at all, but getting there.

[entreats]

It's a lot nicer than my room, that's for sure. [ But Ange is easily satisfied (or rather, just doesn't care) so it's not a problem to her, she's fine with her own room.. ]

I can't say anyone else in this place thought of something like this before though..

[ further proving how.. 'special' Rudolf is, huh. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

That's 'cause they're not innovative businessmen like your dad! They're not thinking outside the box, just dealing with what's thrown at them!

[entreats]

[ of course, 'innovative businessmen', this is clearly it, thank you for this insight, rudolf. ]

I'm pretty sure it's just that most people are too scared of the gods to do this. [ although in rudolf's case it's probably more just that he doesn't realise rather than that he's not scared, huh.. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

[That's what 'innovative business' is!!

He snorts.]

What've they got to worry about from them?

[entreats]

You mean you haven't heard about the kind of stuff they've done, dad? The very least was changing people into pigs and pretty much the worst was blowing up people's heads. [ of course it's Ange though, so her tone is level and even fairly deadpan even as she says the last part.. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

That's no big deal, could be way worse. They don't stay like that for long, right? So what's there to worry about.

[entreats]

.. So you're saying you don't even care that it might happen to you, dad? [ because she doesn't want anything to happen to him, at least!! ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Sure, I'm still not going anywhere, right?

[entreats]

[ .. fine, geez, she'll just have to say it!! even if it's a little difficult.. ]

I don't want anything like that happening to you. [ seen her family dying enough times, thanks.. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

Well, it's not gonna happen, I'll see to it, don't you worry! If I plan to, you'll be the first to know!

[entreats]

Lucky me.

[ she's crossing her arms now, almost actually looking a little pouty.. grumpy kid on your hands now, dad. ]

[gunsgoldgirls]

H-hey! Don't make that face! What's wrong?! Look at me, Ange! C'mon!

[entreats]

[ N-NOT LIKE SHE CARES WHETHER HE DIES OR NOT, GEEZ..!! but fine, since it's family and all she'll be a little more honest.. ]

.. It's just that this place is unpredictable, right? The chance that people might die is actually pretty bad, so.. you shouldn't talk about it so casually, dad, I wouldn't know what to do if something happened to you. No matter whether you'll come back or not.

[gunsgoldgirls]

...Don't say that! I'm not gonna die, so don't worry about it!

[He throws his arms around her and pulls her close. Big daddy hug for enyje...]

[entreats]

[ .. oh, daddy hugs make up for a lot.. how can she remain grumpy in the face of that, either way, she's missed them ever since he died. ]

If you say so, dad.. [ already less grumpy, a little softer. ] It's a promise then, right?
