[center][h2][color=cyan][b]Arden Taika[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [center][b]Kitty, Theo [@Cherrywitch], Feon [@Cuccoruler], Tooru [@Polaris North], Arin [@Skinner35], Atlas [@Upset Delight] [/b], Emory [@Loki Odinson][/center] It was one of the days Arden had a full schedule. There was no time to spare, it was all occupied with something to do. Even though he had a job in the local library, he still used the time working doing other things. For starters, he worked on his homework from his online subjects. His job didn't pay that much all he could do to get an education was to avail the free courses on the internet. Considering the dwindling presence of people visiting the library, it was ideal for him to work on other things. Besides, his employer was lax about these kinds of things. When came his time to get off, he almost forget his final scheduled activity for the day. He was a few block from arriving at his apartment when he remembered that he had to visit M.A.N.A. for some business about [i]emerging talents[/i]. He didn't know what that meant but he was in no place to question the leader, even if all he sent was a message through his phone. When Arden arrived at headquarters, he asked around where the leader was. He asked anybody he came across but they didn't know where the leader was. [color=cyan]"Um, excuse me, miss. Do you know where the leader is?"[/color] The brown-haired girl looked up at him and shook her he. [i]So that is a no then...[/i] He continued asking more people until one kind old lady suggested he look for the leaders assistant instead. Arden agreed and search for the assistant and he was lead to where the infirmary was. He didn't know what he was supposed to do so asking the second-in-command was a good idea. He came up to the door and knocked a few times. He meekly peered open the door and saw several people in it. He didn't expect there would so many people. Well [i]it was the infirmary[/i], people were bound to end up there. [color=cyan]"Excuse me, is the leader's assistant here?"[/color], his voice soft and gentle, [color=cyan]"I'm supposed to come and meet the leader. He said he wanted to talk about something with me."[/color] Arden closed the door with a soft click and he stood in place, biting his lip. There were so many strangers in one room. He saw a few that he might've met in his time learning magic in headquarters but none of them was his friend, someone who he was comfortable with.
