[As much as Regal is glad when someone is able to return to their world, making announcements like this never becomes any easier, not even after three years here in Luceti. Still, others deserve to know, which is why he'll be taking out his journal for a short, simple announcement.]

To those of you who knew him, Lloyd Irving has returned to his world.

[He knows how much Lloyd meant to some of the people still here, which is why after that he'll be stopping by certain houses to check on how the others from his world are faring.

Later on that afternoon, any visitors to the bakery will be greeted by a very strange sight. Turns out that a couple of the bears that live in the forest have awakened from their hibernation a bit early, and they're hungry-- which somehow ended them up in the bakery. What's even stranger is that they're calmly sitting there eating pies and actually holding a conversation with Regal (or as much of a conversation as the animals here are capable of having). Feel free to gawk at these unusual customers, flee in terror or just wonder what the heck bears are doing in the bakery.]

[Little does Regal know just what is awaiting him today. He opens the bakery as usual in the morning, completely unaware of a certain act of Shinsengumi trolling taking place not too far away from the plaza. Things carry on as normal for the day... that is, until the afternoon.

Anyone passing by the bakery at that moment will be witness to a rather large bear cub bolting out of the bakery, an entire pie (pie pan included) hanging from its mouth. If one listens closely, one might even hear what sounds like faint snickering issuing from it... Behind it, wearing an expression that is at once amused, annoyed, and disbelieving, is Regal in hot pursuit.]

Stop right there!

[... well, if nothing else, Jack's claims of thieving bears are technically true now.]

(OOC: Tags may be on the slow side because it is hotter than hell in here and my brain is frying. Also, I know I kind of dropped the ball on Regal's last post for various reasons, but if anyone wants to continue any of the threads on it, just poke me and I'll be happy to!)

[It seems like any other Friday in Luceti-- despite the experiment, the bakery is open for business as usual, and the scent of freshly-baked desserts and pastries is wafting from the door that has been propped open to allow air in. Nothing seems out of place at all.

... or does it? Regal might be smiling just a little bit too broadly as he goes about sweeping up the floor while he waits for customers...]

[It's with a decidedly solemn air that Regal picks up his journal today. He always hates having to inform others of things like this, but as he was really the only one (that he knew of) who checked on Miu regularly, he figures it's his duty to do so. Her other friends would want to know, and besides, she'd been here for so long. It was only fair that she finally got the chance to return to her family.]

For those of you who knew Miu Matsuoka, it seems she's been returned home at last. I know Luceti's top idol will be greatly missed by everyone here, but she did leave us one final performance to share with her fans.

[And Regal holds up the journal to the video that Miu left. It's less a "performance" and more her just singing (badly) and half-dancing/half-rolling around, but it's the thought that counts, right?

When it's finished, he lowers the journal to continue speaking into it.]

She also left a note addressed to one "Haruki Suzumiya." You can stop by House 27 in the evening to pick it up-- I think it is something you will want to read.

[Regal has been a fan of Christmas ever since he discovered it in is first year here in Luceti. Not only is it an excuse to give to others, but there's just something about the atmosphere and the decorations that make him happy, that feeling of closeness with one's friends and family.

The perfect opportunity to do something he's been trying to work up the nerve to try again ever since that disastrous little incident back in October. And it's even snowing, to make the scene even more perfect! So he'll just be waiting until after dinner when the snow has slowed down a little before he puts his plan into action, ring box secure in his pocket as he heads out into the living room of House 27.

This time, he isn't going to let things get messed up.]

You are capable of crafting just about anything with the proper supplies, are you not? In that case, have a favor to ask of you, if it isn't too much trouble.

[After the events of this thread a while ago, Regal has been attempting to find out just who broke into the bakery, but his own personal investigation hasn't given him any leads. Of course, this means he has to turn to other sources; namely, the journals. Surely someone knows something about the identity of these mysterious pie thieves, right?]

Would anyone happen to know who was responsible for breaking into the bakery and making off with several pies two weeks ago? The method of entry suggests either someone inexperienced with breaking and entering, or someone who didn't care whether they were spotted or not. I have my suspicions, of course, but I would like to know if anyone else had seen or heard anything as well.

[And that afternoon, Regal will be at the bakery as normal, except he's not baking-- he's gathered some items from the stores to use in making some rather Rube Goldberg-esque burglar alarms should said pie thieves return. It's no Lezareno Company security system, but it will do for now.]

[At the edge of the forest on the north side of the village, a rather large shape sits slumped against a tree, seemingly asleep. Well, in actuality, it's less that he's asleep and more that he's too drained to really move much at all. He doesn't seem to be too badly injured aside from an assortment of various cuts and bruises-- looks like the Malnosso spared him that much this time.

But he also isn't going to be going anywhere without some assistance. Help him?]

If anyone is in need of some sort of apology gift after the events of that experiment, I would be happy to--

[He trails off as there is the sound of a door opening in the background.]

So you're not merely content to interfere in our personal affairs? I should have expected no less from you.

[There is a crashing sound, followed by a sharp cry of pain from Regal, another thud, and then silence. Anyone who stops by the bakery after this will find the door wide open and hanging off of one of its hinges. Inside, the display case is smashed, and Regal is nowhere to be found.]

[Those out in the plaza today might notice a strange sight: a man in a suit with a familiar mane of blue hair and a very... ODD mask. In fact, that man might bear more than a slight resemblance to one Regal Bryant, but if you call him that, you may not get an answer.

No, the man lurking the streets right now is EL PRESIDENTE, and he's on the lookout for anyone to challenge to a competition of strength. Namely, wrestling. Dare you challenge this large and rather imposing fellow?]

[Regal has really decided to go all-out for Christmas-- since it doesn't exist in his world, why not celebrate it while he's here? That's his logic, at least. He's forgone the tree in favor of garlands and wreaths around the house and a single sprig of mistletoe in the doorway. The fire is burning, he's got a nice breakfast ready... now he's just waiting for his housemate to wake up.

And it isn't just Gelda who is reaping the benefits of this holiday cheer: if you've talked to Regal more than once, expect to find some sort of very fancy baked goods on your doorstep. Cakes, pies, cookies, Regal has put his cooking talent to good use for Christmas.]

[OOC: I am getting around to all of my tags, I promise! Just... a bit slowly. XD;]

If any of the new residents are in need of food, you are more than welcome to stop by the bakery for some fresh baked goods, though I cannot promise that they will be ready right away. I was not expecting such a large influx of guests.

[And Regal is in the bakery, working as quickly as he can to make as much food as he can. He's not even sure exactly how many new people are here now, but he figures it's better to err on the safe side and make too much-- after all, it's not like it's going to go to waste anyway.]

[Seeing as it's still snowing, Regal is out in front of House 27 trying to clear the worst of it from the path and front steps before it gets too deep to be manageable. There's clearly something on his mind, however, as he doesn't seem to be paying that much attention to what he's doing, and every now and then he'll pause and just watch the snowflakes falling with a blank expression.]

[Regal is very used to amusement parks. After all, the guy owns one of his own back in Altamira. While he's not a huge fan of the rides, it's fun to just wander around and see everyone else enjoying themselves for a change (was that a WOLF on the rollercoaster?)... still, he can't quite shake his suspicions about the Malnosso having some ulterior motives behind this. But he's going to put that out of his mind for a moment in favor of more pressing matters, namely the Tunnel of Love and Justice that he's currently staring at.

Or more aptly, staring at and pondering whether or not he should ask a certain someone to ride it with him. Bother him?]

[There's an absolutely delicious smell wafting from the bakery today-- Regal has been trying out several new cookie recipes that he found in a cookbook from the library. Some of them are going to be taken to the Welcome Center, but the rest are up for grabs to whoever wants them.

So, who would like cookies? There's plenty for everyone! Of course, stopping to chat would be welcomed as well.]

[Now that Regal has exhausted his healing abilities, carried a couple of people home and generally helped wherever he was needed, it's his turn to limp home, worn-out and more than a little dispirited (though he's trying his best not to show it). Feel free to run into him on his way back to House 27!]

... I'm afraid I may be in need of some assistance.

[Action]

[Regal is back, and limping through the village on his way home. Aside from a number of smaller cuts and bruises, he actually doesn't look too much the worse for wear-- aside from the rather large and still-bleeding gash in his side. He's got a hand clamped over it as he's too weak to heal himself at the moment. Heal plz?]

[There is the sound of a struggle, and in the midst of it the journal is knocked open and to the floor.]

I will not allow you to harm her!

[The struggle continues for a few moments more before there is a single loud thud, then silence. Eventually the recording is cut off as the journal is closed.]

Of all the people, why did it have to be him... damn it!

Alicia, forgive me. To think that I would ever find myself in his form...

[OOC: Yep, Regal is stuck as Vharley, to add insult to injury.]

[Voice]

Out of curiosity, how many of us were not affected by this possession in any way? I would like to get an approximate count if at all possible; this knowledge may prove useful in the future.

[Action]

[Those who pass by House 27 might notice a delicious smell wafting from the kitchen. Yep, Regal is cooking again, this time making soup for Gelda, who is suffering the aftereffects of the possession. If you stop by, he might offer you some.]
