first at-bat [video]

[yoghurts]

[ as the video turns on, you're treated to the sight of a confused looking young man. something that must surely be a familiar sight to anyone who's been here for a protracted period of time... though this one seems perhaps a bit more dazed than most. ]

Ah... hello, everyone.

[ despite his confusion, he manages a weak smile. his voice sounds rather calm, all things considered. ]

Let's see... I'm supposed to introduce myself, right? My name is Satoshi Houjou. It's nice to meet you at all.

Um... what else was there? Sorry, this has never happened to me before so I'm not really sure what to say. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Or am I one who's supposed to be asking questions right now? Hm... Can anyone give me some advice? Introductions sure are difficult. I'll do my best to pay you back when I can.

Oh! But we're saving the world, aren't we? Ha... that sounds pretty hard. I've never saved a world before, either. Well, I'll do my best.

[supurrior]

Still you persist. So this is all a misunderstanding? Do tell me the correct version of this story.

[yoghurts]

I'm not even sure what story we're talking about anymore.

[supurrior]

We're talking about you been a siscon. Honestly, this is the first time we've met and I can't even expect you to follow a simple conversation.

[Side-eyeing you right now, Satoshi]

[yoghurts]

I can't follow it because this conversation is totally wrong! I'm not a siscon at all! If I am... then prove it!

[ haha, you don't have any proof, do you??? ]

[supurrior]

[Not...exactly...]

W-well, your sister isn't present here, is she?

[yoghurts]

Right! If I was a siscon, I'd probably be really upset and worried about her, right?

[ ...............which he is. ]

[supurrior]

I'm pretty confident that is merely being a good brother in general.

It all comes down to tone and to actions. You see a young girl and you treat her like your little sister. I would say that shows some longing on your part.

[For all her teasing, this has got her thinking about her own little sisters back home...]

[yoghurts]

Hm... well, when you put it like that, maybe you are right.

I do kind of miss having Satoko around.

[ he won't try to deny that. ]

[supurrior]

[She breaks out into a shit-eating grin.]

Perhaps a little bit too much.

[yoghurts]

Too much...?

[ why kuroneko, why. he doesn't like the sound of that at all... ]

[supurrior]

...

If I really have to spell it out for you, you're denser than lead.

[yoghurts]

[ oh. well he doesnt want to appear dense. ]

N, no! I get it. It's too much because... She needs to learn to be on her own, right?

[supurrior]

Huhuhu...why yes, that's the thought on every siscon's mind! Letting their sisters survive on their own without them! That's how they work, isn't it?

[Messing with you is just too much fun. On the other hand, her opinion of your intelligence just keeps dropping.]

[yoghurts]

R, really!? That's how siscons think?

[ oh dear... then does that mean... he really is one? ]

Then... then what do I do? Maybe I am one!

[supurrior]

[She's still having a lot of fun playing with you. She gives a little smirk and a little evil chuckle.]

Yes. The way they think is absolutely detestable, isn't it? It seems as if you have finally come to terms with it. I'm impressed, for you to make it this far...hmm, shall I tell you what to do? Or should I let you find out on your own?

[Both are very tempting options alike...]

[yoghurts]

Please, tell me!

[ not the best of ideas, but he seems a bit desperate now. he doesn't like having the siscon moniker at all, so if there's anything he can do... ]

I mean, if it's really that... that detestable, then I should do whatever I can to change, right?

[supurrior]

Huhuhu~ Very well. Let me think...

[She looks like she's deep in thought--remembering what to do to cure your ailment, of course.]

There may be hope for you yet. I remember some sort of ancient occult ritual to banish the siscon out of you. Unfortunately, I only deal in curses. Do you know a Kirino Kousaka?

[yoghurts]

[ he's glad to know there's hope for him, though he doesn't recognize that name. so he just shakes his head. ]

Is she someone important? Can she help me?

[ he doesn't like the idea of curses, but if that's the only way... ]

I'll do whatever it takes!

[supurrior]

She is the key to all this. She posseses little sister games-at least, in her world. Do you know what those are?

[Satoshi, you better back off now...]

[yoghurts]

Um... I haven't heard of those before.

[ did they even exist back in 1986? ]

Should I play one? Will that help me understand?

[supurrior]

Definitely not! I was suggesting that you find her and declare of your reprehensible status. She'll know what to do from there.

[yoghurts]

I... I don't know if it's really that bad... but I'll tell her...

And ask what she thinks.

[supurrior]

Excellent. Also, be sure that you don't inform her that I sent you. That might cloud her judgement. But please be sure to tell my the results.

[She is enjoying this way too much.]

[yoghurts]

Eh? Really? ...well, if you say so. [ he's not sure why that'd cloud her judgment... but this girl seems trustworthy, so he'll do as she says.

there's no way she could be leading him astray. ] I'll find out and let you know as soon as I do!

[supurrior]

[She smirks and chuckles yet again.] What an obedient creature you are. Go ahead and soon you will be purified of your baseness.

[Couldn't have asked for a better suitemate.

Although she still will be blushing and trying to subtly run away whenever you encounter her in the bathroom by chance.]
