[center][h2][color=ff0000]Sonomachi City - Dangeki Cosplay Café[/color][/h2][/center] [hr] [i]As more and more time passed Chasers, human and youkai alike, continued to filter in Shiina's prized business. Some of their meetings were friendly, some hostile and some completely indifferent, just as the nature of sentient beings dictates. Nevertheless, the main guest of the night, Miss Akane Chikage, also known as the Mistress of the Red Cloud, was yet to arrive.[/i] [center] [hider=The Dangeki] [img]http://img02.deviantart.net/b0dc/i/2015/152/a/b/bar_by_observerz-d8vllmf.jpg[/img] [/hider] [/center] [center] [hider=BGM] [youtube]https://youtu.be/Kuav0j2wVPc[/youtube] [/hider] [/center] [hr] [center][h3][color=1e90ff]Eos[/color][/h3][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/CVZMFQM.png[/img][/center] In the meanwhile, Eos continued to stare down at Rosa in her ever so robotic way of being until the idol girl finally spoke to her, prompting Eos to reply [color=1e90ff]"We can't interrupt onee-sama, so I can't play now"[/color] to Rosa's first question and [color=1e90ff]"Waiting"[/color], for her second. Anyway, the robot maid continued to stare at Rosa, in hopes that the girl would place an order soon, though when she noticed the sudden rise on the influx of patrons, Eos bowed curteously to Rosa [color=1e90ff]"If you need anything, please ask any of us. Now, excuse me"[/color] and went to Tomori's side [color=1e90ff]"Tomori-senpai, do you need me for anything?"[/color] she asked the pint-sized water elemental.

The world's most powerful mage, was a traveller with a penchant of coming and going whenever she pleases, but she always came back to this weird café when she was around Sonomachi. Thus, it was no surprise that a few of the Chasers already here would be known to her, specially her pupil who was currently being harrassed by none other than Eiko. [color=f08080]"Nice to meet you again, Shiina. How are things going?"[/color] Reiko greeted the vampire ninja maid as she passed by her side [color=f08080]"There's an awful lot of people here tonight. I bet that Chikage is going to make [b]that[/b] a public matter"[/color] she commented in a low enough voice so that only Shiina would be able to hear her, before moving to Yuudai's table and raising a hand to place an order for a cup of café au lait, just as usual. Once it was settled, she turned to Yuudai and Eiko [color=f08080]"Can't you two get along even for once? This way, you can't blame the others if they end up thinking that you two are couple, or something like that"[/color] Reiko said, not losing the chance to poke at their rivalry. Hopefully, this comment would be enough to separate them, the Scarlet Sage thought. [hr] [center][h2][color=ff0000]Chikage's Arrival[/color][/h2][/center] Nevertheless, everyone's jest would have to wait. A sudden darkening, or better, a blackout darker than even the deepest reaches of ocean, or a cave where light never reached, marked the arrival of tonight's VIP. The darkness was so black and sticky that it was comparable to being plunged into a pool of tar and even beings capable of seeing in the dark were blinded by it and sound itself was absorbed by the choking nature of the black tide. Thankfully, the ocean of blackness washed away as suddenly as it had come and on the place where the weird duo from before was sitting, now a young woman of indeterminate age, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing sat. She was swinging her feet and twirling an umbrella over her right shoulder, while her eyes ran around the Dangeki, scanning its... unique patrons and staff. [center] [hider=Chikage] [img]http://i.imgur.com/QGniReC.jpg[/img] [/hider] [/center] [color=dc143c]"Ara, it's been such a long time, right, my dear Shiina?"[/color] Chikage said, greeting the establishment's master [color=dc143c]"You seen to have gathered quite a lot here, even some new faces. This actually pretty good."[/color] the ancient youkai said in an amused tone as a grin found it's way to her face. It was clear that Chikage was enjoying the spectacle that she had set up more than it was right to, which was to be expected of a being known as a legendary troll. Eventually, Chikage turned to the Chasers and said [color=dc143c]"I'm aware that most of you know of me, but for those who don't, I'm Akane Chikage the leader of the Youkai Junction. Before I get to the reason why you all have been called here tonight, I'd like to know if any of you has any questions? Specially the youkai children who still don't know of the Junction."[/color] after saying so, Chikage fell silent and kept staring at the Chasers as she twirled her umbrella over shoulder, thinking of a certain someone that would probably snap hers, if she knew what was happening.
