[b]Kurano Tanaka[/b] Kurano took a quick puff and smothered his cigarette into an upturned ashtray, as per the strongman's request. Kurano tussled his hair and looked about at everyone now gathered. He listened to the words of the officer, not quite understanding what he said. But, understanding the officer had the power of sight, seeing as he knew that something was moving inside of the dead creatures' corpse. Kurano smiled as justice was served somewhat with the apprehension of the thief. Though, sighing as she broke from the cuffs. "You'd think that those shackles wou-" Kurano stopped, hearing footsteps from outside the convention. The main entrance doors opened, as three confident looking men stepped inside. Kurano didn't recognize the armor of the two guards. [i]Is this a private army? A mercenary group?[/i] He thought curiously, staring at their sleek designs. The man in the middle began to explain that whatever 'crimes' they committed were let go. Kurano stood a bit nervous, as the officer was being accused of. When the agent-like man spoke of the little girl, Kurano wasn't very shocked. Runaways were fairly commonplace, though why she had come in to the convention was a mystery to him. Her grip on him tightened however, like she didn't want to go home despite having to work for a mysterious corporation. It was then, a major piece of information hit him. Kurano folded his arms, and a shocked expression washed across his pale face. Knowing he would have to work, or go to jail almost crushed him. "W-what about my classes? I still have to pay tuition even if I don't go, and I'm supposed to be a lawyer, not a civil worker," he snapped under the stres of the situation. Upon hearing that the thief girl had manipulated the energy after his shot, Kurano thought back. "Yes, well, I recall feeling something, but the stress and chaos of the moment had my attention. It could have been the creature doing that," he guessed, completely shunning the notion of being able to feel energy. Kurano nearly jumped at the sound of the doors bursting open from another person. A srange, small, and almost crazy looking man stepped in. Kurano held back a smile from hearing his reaction to the chaos. Kurani paused for a moment at hearing the agent say, "that's up to them." Kurano cleared his throat. "If you can pay my tuition, and somehow awaken these 'powers' that I have, then I see no reason why not. Everything's been too boring anyways, and I'm tired of paying off those loan sharks, only for them to accuse me of paying them late." Kurano looked at the man, and dropped his folded arms, wanting desperately for a smoke to alleviate the stress. [b]Minami Shiroka[/b] Minami being told that she could potentially go back to her parents, or work for mysterious people made her feel scared. She didn't say anything until Tanaka's response, feeling intimidated to answer the creepy man's question "If, I can have friends. I'll work for you," she barely mustered to say. Minami clutched at Tanaka's arms and moved behind him. The scientist frightened Minami even more, almost causing her to go completely behind Kurano.
