[b]Kotori Shirohane - Abandoned Warehouse | Sunday, July 5 2015[/b]

Receiving the message about the gathering for yet another Mirror World excursion did not exactly do wonders for lifting Kotori's spirits, particularly when she'd been cautiously hopeful that things may be taking a turn for the better with the kidnappings just the day before - only for those hopes to be completely dashed when she arrived at the warehouse and it was announced that there weren't three kidnappees this time but rather near a dozen, albeit with some strangeness surrounding the dungeon that formed.

Furthermore, there was the yet-unresolved matter between her two fellow Agriculture Club members, Matthew and Shizuka, which left her to glance between the two whilst trying not to draw any attention to herself doing so or, in turn, them. Her unexpected meeting with Rui on the matter had, unfortunately, not revealed a way in which to help the situation - she thought that may be partly her own fault for not being too clear on the matter as she hadn't wanted to reveal too much about the lives of others without their consent, though her attempts at subterfuge by cladding her words with things like 'hypothetically speaking', 'asking for a friend' or 'I read in a book that...' The last one at least was true.

Still, the best course of action, it seemed, was to simply wait and leave it to the two of them - and for Kotori to hope that things turned out well in the end. After all, it was something that only they could figure out. Still, seeing them being the way they were did little to brighten her mood, even as Megumi explained what they knew of the dungeon this time around - but despite all that, Kotori couldn't help but steal an occasional glance over at Rui, even before he was addressed. Or rather, the bird on his shoulder which was the cause for said addressing in the first place. She was not ornithologist, but the bird - Zeke, apparently - did seem vaguely familiar in some way, leaving her to wonder if it was perhaps the same bird that had aided them in the previous dungeon. Given how much of a help it had been back then, Kotori was only to glad if it remained on their side; not even realising the rather bizarre nature of the whole situation after everything that had already happened in regards to the Mirror World.

With their newest and perhaps oddest addition yet thusly inducted, preparations were at hand - and following that, splitting up into groups. As ever when a dungeon trip was in order, Kotori's worries began to surface - but after a few moments, she put them aside with a deep breath. With a somewhat shaky confidence, she stood ready to begin - all the while hoping that everyone would once again return safely, that no one got too badly hurt and that they'd be able to save whoever was caught in on the other side of the mirror.
