That was...

[Pause.]

...A-anyway, I'm awake now. [Those who've talked to Clover in the past may notice that she's not her usual loud and hyper self. Her voice sounds faint and groggy.] I hope everyone else is awake too. 

Budew? Budew!

Yeah... [There's the sound of little footsteps from the little feet of a little Budew just worried about his mistress.] I'm fine...

[She shuts off the feed.]

Ten minutes, to the second.

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Rise and shine! We had a deal.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

O-okay! I will! [The sound of a mattress shifting under someone's weight, and the sound of feet descending onto the floor.]

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

See? That wasn't so bad, right? It's a nice day and everything!

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

[Pause. A few small steps.]

Yeah...you're right, it looks like a nice day outside. But I think my brother will want me to stay for a while before we keep on going.

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

He sounds a bit overprotective, huh? Well that's alright, any good big brother should be.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I know. I don't mind, I'd rather have him with me.

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

You two sound really close. Ihihi, I'm kind of jealous!

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

We are. D'you have a brother?

Oh, by the way, I'm Clover. What's your name?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

In my case, I'm the big brother. I have a little sister.

Name's Battler! Battler Ushiromiya.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

What's your little sister like, Battler?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Hm... she's the really cool, serious type.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Is she traveling with you?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

She's not here.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

Oh...sorry.

At least she's safe at home?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

I'm not even entirely sure about that.

But it's nothing you have to worry about. I guess you could call it a family problem.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

A...a family problem?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

I come from a pretty big family. The bigger the families the more the issues, right?

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I'm pretty sure you can have a big family without too many issues...

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

Not when you throw lots of money into the mix too.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

So you and your sister are like...heirs to a big fortune?

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

We could be, that's the problem. The heir was never really settled. Now you can probably see why there are issues.

[voice]

[4leafcleaver.livejournal.com]

...Oh.

Maybe you could...hold a contest? [Trying to be helpful, swear.]

[voice]

[uselessmagic.livejournal.com]

We already have something like that. Whoever solves this riddle my grandfather wrote wins the prize.

...except no one could solve it.
