The Peanut Gallery
Shannon and Beatrice are constant presences in Yasu's brain, but since I want to keep spoilers like "this major character appearing in Episode 1 is Yasu's imaginary friend" and "Beatrice used to be an absolute fashion disaster" from showing up in tags, I'll be posting their commentary and advice here with a link to the relevant tag.
IC Intro Toplevel
SHANNON: Wake up... it's time for school! You don't want to be late, do you?
YASU: Mmm, right, right... just... gimme a moment, Shannon...
BEATRICE: This is...
YASU: Beatrice?
BEATRICE: Ah, it's nothing, my friend. Shannon's right! Go forth and prepare for your scholarly pursuits. And while the servant's away, the witch will play!
YASU: H- Hey! I thought I told you to stop messing with the other maids.
BEATRICE: Tch.
The Profile
YASU: Is that... me? I don't understand, this doesn't-
BEATRICE: Consider it a start-of-semester gift, kyahaha!
YASU: This goes way beyond your usual pranks, Beatrice!
BEATRICE: Did you not always wish you had luscious gold locks like mine?
YASU: Um, well...
SHANNON: Oh, my. This is quite strange.
SHANNON: I don't think we can do anything about it, though. Hmm... I know! I'll teach you how to brush your new hair later. We can worry about why this happened after that.
YASU: You're right. I'll just... get ready for school, I guess...
The Spider-Thread Charm
BEATRICE: Truly, I don't understand why you're so vigilant with that thing. The tome is too cursed for me to bother with.
YASU: You say something like that every time, and I always lose something anyways.
BEATRICE: Huff. Well, I mean it this time!
Thread with Jeanne
SHANNON: Please be more careful! You wouldn't want to run into Milady like that, would you?
YASU: I can't help it, the bangs got in my eyes...
SHANNON: Hmmm, maybe we should cut them later?
YASU: N- No. I like them this way.
BEATRICE: Good! I'd hate to see my friend refuse my generous gift.
YASU: You were looking forward to seeing me trip, weren't you?
BEATRICE: I refuse to provide any more testimony on this matter.
no subject
YASU: No, no, no... where did my charms go...
BEATRICE: KYAHAHAHAHA! You've finally run out of that blasted spiderthread, hmmmm? Ah, now we can have proper fun again, Ya~su~
YASU: Don't call me that!
BEATRICE: It appears to be your name here, though. Since when have you called yourself-
YASU: I- I- forget it, I'll just find some more.
Thread with Little Brothers
SHANNON: Your work ethic is admirable but, er... it is okay to take a break every once in a while.
BEATRICE: You are such a goody two-shoes, my friend.
YASU: What else am I supposed to do here?!
SHANNON: Study?
BEATRICE: Practice your magic?
YASU: Ugh. Good point.
no subject
YASU: I don't know, she might be nice...
BEATRICE: You did read her profile, did you not?
YASU: ...yeah, that's definitely wishful thinking.
Thread with Adorabat
YASU: I can't believe it! A talking bat! I have to be dreaming, right? B- But wait, I just woke up...
BEATRICE: I don't see what's so surprising about it. My familiars can talk, after all. Er, after a fashion.
YASU: You think she's a familiar?
BEATRICE: Of course! A bat is a good choice for any young witch hoping to make the appropriate impression. Not as classy as a butterfly, but still respectable.
SHANNON: Ahem. Just because the guest is a, um. Bat. Doesn't mean you should forget your manners.
YASU: You're right, I, um, need to introduce myself.
SHANNON: My name is-
YASU: Wait, I'm technically off work, so shouldn't it be...
YASU: I...
YASU: Gah, my throat's closing up... why can't I...
BEATRICE: ...now this is some strange magic indeed.
no subject
BEATRICE: That girl wouldn't know magical talent if it bit her on the behind... although you do have a point.
YASU: Maybe we could work together to make her a proper vessel tonight... I think I'm going to need some way to wind down after, um. All of this.
BEATRICE: Kyahahaha, you're halfway to being a witch apprentice already, my friend!
SHANNON: Don't stay up too late doodling. You do have school tomorrow.
YASU: Y- Yes, Shannon...
no subject
BEATRICE: Kyahahaha, I quite like her style!
YASU: How would she even- that doesn't-
BEATRICE: Now, my friend, you know that through magic, many things are possible.
YASU: I'm more concerned with how bone-snapping is her first plan!
SHANNON: She seems a little young to be an officer of the law...
no subject
BEATRICE: BONE COLLECTION!
BEATRICE: Oh, I must claim her as my own immediately.
YASU: I would r- rather you not, actually.
BEATRICE: Pah. You're no fun at all.
Thread with Ava
SHANNON: Oh my! Manners, Miss... Ava, was it?
no subject
YASU: Now that's just mean.
BEATRICE: I don't notice you disagreeing.
YASU: W- Well...
no subject
BEATRICE: KYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
SHANNON: You know it's inappropriate to laugh at something like that happening to someone!
YASU: It, um. Wasn't me, it was Beatrice!
SHANNON: Still!
YASU: It was just cheese, Shannon! And it's really funny to imagine!
SHANNON: Geez... just be sure to be better behaved than that girl, alright?
YASU: Okay, okay. I promise I will.
Thread with Anya
YASU: I was barely older than her, or, well, um, I said I was barely older than her when I learned Kumasawa's charm-
BEATRICE: grumblegrumble
YASU: -hush, so... she'd believe me, right? I don't want to get laughed at again...
BEATRICE: ...I suppose another one who could see me would make this state of affairs more bearable.
YASU: I'll, um, give it a try, then...
no subject
BEATRICE: I cannot BELIEVE this.
BEATRICE: Someone else who might be able to see me, and the very first thing you do is teach her how to ward me off?!
BEATRICE: Some friend you are, my friend!
YASU: I- I mean, I still do it, and you still hang around me.
BEATRICE: It is about the prin-ci-ple of the thing!
no subject
YASU: O- Oh my gosh, what should I teach her next? The home charm? The familiar reminder?
BEATRICE: I am hardly your familiar!
YASU: Well, um, if you'd like, I can show her how to see you?
BEATRICE:
BEATRICE: That would be fine, yes.
Thread with Emma
BEATRICE: Oh my. Is she casting a spell with the way she's waving her hands around?
YASU: I- I- Um-
SHANNON: She's having a seizure! You need to call Genji!
YASU: Genji isn't here, I- gah! What am I supposed to do?!
no subject
BEATRICE: A-ha~! I knew it! We have another bona fide witch on our hands. Pity that I'm still incorporeal... and I don't think I have the necessary materials to materialize here.
YASU: W- wow... I wonder if she can teach me spells. You never show me how any of your magic works, Beatrice.
BEATRICE: Because it's not fit for a mere apprentice like you, obviously!
SHANNON: I'm just glad she's okay... although, er, this is quite the odd sensation.
no subject
BEATRICE: What a disappointment and here I thought I'd found a comrade at last.
YASU: Y- You're forgetting someone...
BEATRICE: My friend, I enjoy your company immeasurably, but you are no witch.
YASU:
BEATRICE: Not yet, at least. Fu fu fu...
YASU: !
