Day One || Day Two || Day Three|| Day Three || Day Four || Day Five || Day Six || Day Seven
We last left off at…. Skeletiano learns there’s a magic potion that can make you a human.
This news amazes Skeletiano and Robin. Robin says if he takes it, he can get his old body back. The thought of seeing him in the flesh excites her. Skeletiano asks if she witnessed it with her own eyes. Sunny says she hasn’t, but her witch friends were gossiping about it.
Sunny agrees that it sounds fishy, then reminds them that they should get back to the castle before that “ill-tempered count” gets mad.
Uhh.. does she mean Kanye? Because he’s a king, not a count… Maybe Orlando? I don’t know what his official status is. She’s his secretary. That makes more sense, I suppose.
–end Chapter 2-1–
Skeletiano escorts her back to the castle. Sadly, the first person they see is Orlando.
He asks her where’s she’s been and why she’s with Skeletiano in a not-so-nice tone. She tells him they were on a walk and she needed a change of scenery.
Orlando — “Is that more important than your bridal training?”
Skeletiano jumps to her defense and says that it’s not her fault because he invited her. Which in turn makes Robin cover for him. Which makes Skeletiano deny it. Which makes Robin affirm it.
Which makes Orlando be the wet gym sock he is and says the entire matter is clearly Skeletiano’s fault.
–end Chapter 2-2–
Orlando takes the book that Skeletiano was reading as punishment for taking Robin out.
Is he this much of a jerkface in his own route as he is in others? King Jean (Kanye) is a bit of a douche, but the difference is he has this innocence about his actions. It’s comedic and he’s such an outlandish attention whore it works. Orlando just simply thinks he’s better than all of us and he lets us know in the most obnoxious way possible at ever opportunity. Ugh. UGGGHHHH. Go back to life and get out of my underworld!
Anyway, don’t steal my books, don’t steal Skeletiano’s books, and don’t you dare hurt my precious Skeletiano’s feelings or I will cut you. Saavy?
Choice
Give it back!
That’s just mean!
I said I would cut him, so I won’t go back on my word. “Give it back!”
Orlando tries to give her an evil eye, but Robin is having none of it. “Skeletiano may have invited me out, but I was the one who decided to go!”
Orlando asks what the solution should be, and Robin says to take an item of hers rather than Skeletiano. Orlando nots that as a recently revived she would have nothing in terms of valued possessions. Robin suggests her dress, but Orlando says that will only make him look like a pervert. Well, I can agree with that. He’s a jerface mcjerkins, but he hasn’t shown us that he’s a perv. He relents and gives the book back and tells her to go back to her room.
Robin apologizes to Skeletiano for the scene. Skeletiano continues to be an angel and tells her that it would only prolong his anticipation and desire to read the book, and she didn’t have to go so far for him. She gives him a hug.
Skeletiano thanks her for considering him a friend.
Back in her room, Orlando comes with a big book. In order to be queen, she’ll need to know everything about Niflheim, so she’s studying history today.
So… King Kanye really is the Haruhi of NiflheimHe created the world and the dead went to it like sheep to be his subjects?! And not just the dead, old objects and theaters and such. So that’s where my old socks go
They’re what the dead used to cherish in their old lives…. that’s rather romantic, actually! I love it! She asks about the memories of the former lives, and Orlando says that they do have their old memories, for the most part. Some don’t, some have certain things missing… I feel like the latter is going to play a large part in this, but then again nothing in this feels right for me narrative-wise I love predicting things as I read though!
When the owners remember their objects, they disappear. Well, that SUCKS. What if it was something truly special? That would depress me even more… And that concludes the history lesson.
The next day she’s eating breakfast and Skeletiano shows up. He’s going to be our instructor for the day!
Skeletiano is going to take us out on the town! The queen needs to know her subjects, after all!
In the town, they meet J.J. Skeletiano lets us know how he really feels.
As J.J. walks, all of his items are falling behind him, but he’s too absorbed in his thoughts to notice. Err… I do that a lot too. I can’t fault the guy! Skeletiano picks up the items and hands them to him, scolding him: “At least take care of yourself, you helpless zombie.”
J.J. asks what Skeletiano is doing there, and it’s the end of the chapter and my tickets. Ta-ta!
If it seems like some of my summaries are shorter than others, the length of the chapter parts vary. Sometimes we’re having a long conversation or scene and others it feels like I only read ten sentences before it’s over. Blame SWD, not me~!
